You Cheated!

Ye Feiyang's Adam's apple bobbed twice as he answered honestly, "A peerless beauty, graceful and elegant. You're the most beautiful woman I've seen so far."

Those words struck right at Qian Renxue's heart. She was especially pleased, and hearing them from Ye Feiyang's mouth made her even happier.

Hmph, this damn man. Just watch me charm you to death!

She stepped closer again, raised her brows, and asked, "So, do you still want to take me as your disciple?"

Ye Feiyang had no intention of letting her control the rhythm of the conversation. He quickly calmed down. "Xue'er, as the young mistress of Spirit Hall, are you really going to go back on your word?"

Qian Renxue let out a scornful laugh. "Xue Qinghe was the one who said he wanted to become your disciple. What does that have to do with me, Qian Renxue?"

Ye Feiyang froze for a moment, then raised his hand and pinched her chin, putting on the airs of an overbearing CEO. "In that case, I'll give you a chance as your master. Defeat me, and you can do whatever you want with me. But if you lose, you'll obediently listen to me."

With her chin held like that, Qian Renxue's cheeks inexplicably grew hot.

She slapped Ye Feiyang's hand away and said awkwardly, "Why should I fight you? I'm not stupid. With my current strength... I'm no match for you at all."

If she had not known how terrifying Ye Feiyang's strength was, she would never have admitted so easily that she was inferior to him.

"Since you know who I am, do you still insist on taking me as your disciple?" Qian Renxue pressed, wanting to understand what he truly thought.

But Ye Feiyang abruptly changed the subject. "How about you compromise and become my girlfriend instead?"

Qian Renxue was instantly at a loss. She clearly wanted to have a proper conversation, yet he kept teasing her with words like that.

"Y-you, can't you be serious? I mean it." She bit her lip, a trace of anger in her voice.

"I'm not joking either. Every word comes from my heart." Ye Feiyang's gaze was sincere.

Qian Renxue fell silent for a moment before finally compromising. "I agree to become your disciple. As for being your girlfriend, forget it! I've actually been watching you in secret all along. You... are a little too fickle." Her tone was filled with dissatisfaction when she said those last words.

Ye Feiyang did not care about her little temper at all. Did she expect him to take the initiative and coax her? Not a chance.

"Fine. Then become my disciple now."

Qian Renxue frowned, feeling somewhat disappointed. Why isn't this man insisting a little more?

Ye Feiyang did not say a single word she most wanted to hear, leaving her heart feeling empty and unsettled.

She glared at him and asked irritably, "Hmph, how am I supposed to become your disciple?"

"By tradition, you should kneel and offer tea... but conditions are limited right now, so we'll simplify it. Just call me Teacher." Ye Feiyang made an exception for her.

Though somewhat unwilling, Qian Renxue still bowed slightly and softly called out, "Teacher."

Hearing that, Ye Feiyang burst into laughter. Then he took out a sword-leaf-shaped bracelet from his storage space and personally put it on her wrist.

"This bracelet is both an accessory and a storage item. All of my Personal Disciples have one. It also serves as a token of their status."

"Mm, it looks beautiful on you, Xue'er." He held her hand and did not let go for a long while.

Qian Renxue allowed him to hold her hand. Watching him put the bracelet on her, she silently thought, This scene really does look like a proposal.

Just as the bracelet was put on, Ye Feiyang suddenly said, "Xue'er, wait for me a moment. I need to calm down first."

At the same time, the system notification sounded the instant the bracelet was successfully worn:

[Qian Renxue's information panel has been opened:]

Name: Qian Renxue

Talent Rating: SS-grade

Martial Soul: Six-Winged Angel

Current Soul Power: Level 70

Soul Ring Configuration: Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black

[Qian Renxue has completed the system's in-depth analysis! Exclusive growth gift pack granted:]

Origin Essence Pill ×1: Optimizes and enhances one's origin essence, greatly increasing potential and guiding the Martial Soul toward beneficial evolution at a higher level.

Genesis Blazing God Art ×1: Resonates with the light of the heavens' stars and the primordial sacred laws from the beginning of creation, tempering the body of Genesis divinity. It grants command over minute authorities of creation and rules of order. Its divine power contains a trace of the vitality of all things' origin and the force of final judgment.

[Recommended secondary cultivation technique:]

Sacred Light Sword Condensation Art: Highly compresses and condenses ultimate light and sacred Soul Power, transforming the intangible into the tangible to form sacred light swords with extreme piercing and purification power. It can also construct barriers of sacred light, achieving both offense and defense.

[Compatibility Assessment: Perfect match! This disciple possesses extraordinary potential. The technique's condensed nature highly resonates with the 'creation' and 'order' authorities she currently commands, allowing high-level divine power to be efficiently transformed into forms possessing both destructive and protective power. It is the ideal foundational skill combination for realizing her God King-level potential.]

[Genesis Blazing God Art Core Ultimate Techniques Overview:]

Primordial God Body: Draws upon stellar origin light and creation origin energy to reshape the body, laying the foundation for a Genesis divine body. A minute energy cycle forms naturally within the body, gradually transforming sacred Soul Power into higher-level Genesis divine power. Vitality and recovery ability approach immortality.

Order Chainblade: Condenses the laws of order with Genesis divine power, forming a blade of order composed of countless minute sacred runes and chains of rules. When attacking, it can directly sever the target's energy circulation laws, Soul Skill connections, and karmic bonds. It carries law-level purification and annihilation effects, with exponentially increasing damage against beings that violate the laws.

God Kingdom Dawn: Unfolds a God Kingdom domain containing one's own laws of creation. Within the domain, the user is like a god of creation, defining light and order. It can rewrite some fundamental rules within the domain, such as suppressing non-sacred attributes or accelerating divine power recovery. It grants allies the 'Order Protection' state, purifies and dispels all non-divine negative effects across a wide area, and deeply heals and restores allies based on the vitality of creation.

God's Advent: Genesis Blazing Angel: Awakens the origin of the Genesis Blazing Angel, bringing the user infinitely close to the form of a true Genesis god race. All attributes undergo a tremendous leap, and the effects of all abilities are simultaneously elevated.

Ultimate Divine Ability—Origin Core Divine Silence: Uses one's own Genesis divinity as the catalyst to communicate with the creation origin core, bringing down judgment power containing the intent of finality. It can completely deconstruct and revert a target's energy, matter, and even traces of existence back to their primordial origin, as though they had never existed. This divine ability is extraordinarily powerful, but it also places an enormous burden on the user.

After browsing through the system information, Ye Feiyang's face filled with shock. Was this cultivation technique not a little too powerful? He could not help giving Qian Renxue an envious glance.

No, I have to win this woman over!

Still, there was something regrettable about it. Although the technique was powerful, it would be far from easy to cultivate it to the point where she could fully unleash those abilities.

At that thought, Ye Feiyang could not help snorting. This damn system had given him what was arguably the strongest technique currently available, but anyone with eyes could tell it was exclusive to the angel race.

But there was also something that made him happy. He finally had his first hundred-thousand-year soul ring! The combined ages of Qian Renxue's six soul rings had raised his sixth soul ring to the hundred-thousand-year level.

He immediately felt the Soul Power within his body become far more abundant. However, he was puzzled. Why had the previous Martial Soul Advancement Pill become an Origin Essence Pill? Could it be that Qian Renxue's Martial Soul no longer needed to evolve?

After exiting the system interface, Ye Feiyang saw Qian Renxue staring fixedly at him with her beautiful eyes wide open.

Perfect. He was already impatient to help Qian Renxue complete her transformation.

Hahaha, hurry up and throw yourself into my arms in gratitude!

"Hehe~~ my good disciple Xue'er, come on, open your mouth!" Ye Feiyang held a pill the size of a ping-pong ball between his fingers and brought it before Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue took a closer look and instinctively stepped back two paces. She asked warily, "What are you doing? What is that thing? It's so huge, and you want to stuff it into my mouth?"

"This pill is delicious. Don't you feel an urge to eat it immediately?" Ye Feiyang coaxed.

Qian Renxue shook her head forcefully. "No. I don't feel any urge at all!"

Ye Feiyang froze. That was not right. Why was her reaction completely different from Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong's back then?

Yet he clearly saw Qian Renxue's throat move slightly as she secretly swallowed.

So Ye Feiyang swiftly grabbed her chin and stuffed the pill directly into her mouth.

Qian Renxue had just been about to flare up when the pill instantly melted in her mouth, turning into a warm current that surged toward the location of her Martial Soul.

Only then did she realize Ye Feiyang was not joking. She did not even have time to speak before hurriedly sitting cross-legged and circulating her Soul Power to guide the medicinal energy.

The immense medicinal power caused not the slightest pain. Instead, it was like a warm current returning to its origin, enveloping her Martial Soul.

Qian Renxue could clearly sense that her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul seemed to have been thrown into a furnace forged from the purest light and sacred laws.

The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul manifested on its own, trembling violently within a sacred cocoon of light. It slowly broke apart and dissolved, scattering like dust in the wind—but that was only the beginning of its transformation.

The old form was completely shattered, while more intricate and more powerful divine patterns appeared on the surface of the cocoon.

As time passed, the cocoon finally cracked open. The original Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul had transformed into an entirely new form: the Supreme Genesis Blazing Angel!

An immense sacred pressure instantly swept in every direction. Qian Renxue was like a second sun rising in the sky, so dazzling that every nearby living being could not help feeling the urge to submit.

Even Ye Feiyang was dumbfounded by the sight. Although he had witnessed the entire process of his first five disciples' Martial Soul Evolution, even all of them together had not created an impact as great as Qian Renxue's transformation.

It was simply too unexpected. Was this the effect of the Origin Essence Pill?

Thinking of the three more pills he still had, Ye Feiyang's heart blossomed with joy. What kind of changes would Tang Yuehua undergo after taking one?

Fortunately, this place was sparsely populated, and it was the middle of the night. Otherwise, such a huge disturbance might have attracted unnecessary trouble.

Of course, even if trouble really came, Ye Feiyang was confident he could solve it with a single sword strike.

At that moment, Qian Renxue was too stunned by her own changes to speak.

No one understood better than she did what she had just experienced. Her transformation was far more than what appeared on the surface.

Her "status" had risen, leaping from a divine envoy to a member of the Genesis god race. Her abilities had undergone a qualitative change, with her power shifting from pure sacredness to the level of laws touching upon order and creation. Her potential had increased enormously as well; the path to becoming a God King now lay smooth and open before her.

The Martial Soul ascension had also brought new abilities. Her original sacred flames had evolved into Genesis Sacred Flame, gaining the attributes of order laws. To a certain extent, it could interfere with, correct, or even establish battlefield rules within a small area—for example, prohibiting Teleportation or the use of Martial Soul Fusion Skills within her domain.

Even her original core Soul Skills had transformed alongside it, their power increasing tremendously:

Angel Assault → Sacred Judgment's Grasp

Wings of Emptiness → Divinity Walk

Angel Roar → Divine Decree Judgment

Angel True Body → Seraphim Descent

Angel Domain → Genesis Light God Kingdom

This Genesis Light God Kingdom was no ordinary domain. Within it, so long as Qian Renxue's divine soul remained intact, even if her physical body was destroyed, she could consume origin essence power to reshape it.

As for the other finer changes, there was no need to go through them one by one. If you were interested, you could ask Qian Renxue herself. Going on any longer would just be padding...

After Qian Renxue fully understood her own changes, her beautiful eyes widened round as she stared straight at Ye Feiyang. Her gaze was so scorching that it seemed she wanted to swallow him whole.

This man had given her an unimaginable surprise and allowed her to undergo a complete transformation.

Wait, I haven't transformed completely yet—I haven't truly become a "woman" yet!

Ye Feiyang clicked his tongue in amazement from the side. "Damn, that's incredible! So incredible! Amazing, truly amazing!"

He was genuinely a little envious of Qian Renxue. Although he spoke softly, Qian Renxue heard him clearly.

Qian Renxue smiled brilliantly, instantly becoming breathtakingly charming and leaving Ye Feiyang somewhat dazed.

But in the next moment, Qian Renxue stood up and revealed a sacred sword in her hand, its tip pointing directly at Ye Feiyang. "Feiyang, shall we have a fight now?"

Ye Feiyang had thought she would thank him. Who would have expected her to challenge him to a fight instead?

"You really want to fight me?" He was somewhat surprised.

Qian Renxue smiled slyly. Sacred light flowed over the sword in her hand, while her originally pure white wings transformed into three pairs of divine wings burning with blazing radiance. "Of course. Right now, I especially want to slash you with my sword..."

"You unfilial disciple! You dare attack your master just after becoming my disciple? Don't you want the further opportunities waiting for you?" Ye Feiyang deliberately put on a stern face.

Qian Renxue paused, and her eyes lit up. "There are more opportunities to come?"

Ye Feiyang nodded forcefully. "Naturally! I told you before that I'd make you 'feel so good you'd fly.' Did you think I was joking?"

"If you really want to fight, that's fine, but we'll have to add a wager." He sneered inwardly. This woman had gotten cocky the moment she became stronger!

The Martial Soul ascension had given Qian Renxue immense confidence. She now fully believed she could have a proper contest with Ye Feiyang.

She agreed without hesitation. "What wager?"

A crafty glint flashed through Ye Feiyang's eyes. "If I win, then from now on, you'll belong to me alone. You can't get jealous, curse at me, or hit me. You also have to truly love me, dote on me, care about me, and do whatever I tell you to do... That's all I can think of for now."

Qian Renxue's lips twitched slightly. This damn man was so certain he could beat her?

"And what if I win?" she pressed.

"Hehe, if you win, you can do whatever you want with me. I won't resist at all." Ye Feiyang smiled openly.

"Fine! You said it! If I win, then from now on, you'll belong only to me too." Qian Renxue immediately settled it.

Ye Feiyang chuckled. "Deal."

He made a gesture of invitation, a smile on his lips. "You attack first!"

Qian Renxue did not want to lose this wager. Six soul rings instantly spread out beneath her feet, their glow flowing as sacred energy filled the air.

Ye Feiyang did not want to lose either. Eight soul rings emerged in turn, especially the glaring blood-red glow of his sixth soul ring, which was particularly eye-catching.

Both were determined to win. The result of this duel would determine who held the dominant position from now on.

Moreover, Ye Feiyang had just seen that after taking the Origin Essence Pill, Qian Renxue's talent rating had directly risen to SSS-grade. He had to keep such a talent firmly in his grasp!

When Qian Renxue saw Ye Feiyang's soul ring configuration, her eyes instantly widened. She was shocked beyond measure and muttered, "Purple, purple, purple, purple, black, red, black, black... What kind of soul ring configuration is this? Ye Feiyang, you're way too monstrous!"

"No, something's wrong with you! When I saw you last time, your soul rings were nothing like this!" She suddenly realized, her tone full of confusion.

Ye Feiyang replied with a smile, "Defeat me, and I'll tell you all my secrets."

The moment he finished speaking, his voice suddenly lowered as he said calmly, "Eighth Soul Skill—Sword Seed: Universe Reflected in the Heart—Plant Sword!"

A faint sword light flashed and vanished, silently burrowing into Qian Renxue's body. With that sword seed, he was already invincible.

Although Qian Renxue's Martial Soul had completed its transformation and reached an extraordinarily high level, Ye Feiyang's Martial Soul had stood at the pinnacle from the very beginning.

What a joke. His Martial Soul was the deity among plant-type Martial Souls, commonly known as the Grass God.

In a sense, the Grass God's strength needed no further explanation.

Qian Renxue silently cursed Ye Feiyang for fighting without honor, then shouted, "Genesis Light God Kingdom!"

A massive domain instantly unfolded, enveloping both of them within it as sacred radiance nearly swallowed everything.

"Fifth Soul Skill—Boundless Sword Tomb." Ye Feiyang refused to be outdone and unfolded his own domain as well.

The two domains took effect simultaneously, making space tremble slightly. Their figures became blurred as they flashed rapidly through the domains. In an instant, sword lights crisscrossed and forceful energy swept through the area as their fierce duel began.

"No flying!" Qian Renxue was the first to invoke a domain rule, trying to restrict Ye Feiyang's movements.

"Hehe~~ Disciple, are you silly? What I'm using is qinggong, not a flight skill. Your rule can't stop me~" Ye Feiyang's teasing voice came from every corner of the domain.

"Y-you cheated!" Qian Renxue was furious and anxious, yet utterly helpless.
