Holy Grail Summoning

Time flew by.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Bei Gong Li's teaching was extremely strict, and Qian Gu Huang Yu's schedule was packed. Mornings were devoted to lessons related to Soul Masters, while afternoons were for practical combat training.

And the best way to teach practical combat was naturally through actual combat. Because Qian Gu Huang Yu had slept in on the first day and left a very bad impression on Bei Gong Li, Bei Gong Li directly cranked the intensity of the practical classes to the maximum.

If not for the Heavenly Treasures and medicinal baths every night to relieve her fatigue, even though Qian Gu Huang Yu possessed Ghidorah's bloodline and could recover as long as she had enough energy, the mental exhaustion would have been impossible to restore.

Still, having a quasi-god as a sparring partner at the age of six was an honor not even Qian Gu Dong Feng, the most favored son of Qian Gu Die Ting, had received. Who knew whether that was fortunate or unfortunate.

What angered Qian Gu Huang Yu most was that Bei Gong Li had ruthlessly deprived her of the right to sleep, making her meditate every night instead. No matter how she begged, it was useless.

Over the past month, no one else had been idle either. After Qian Gu Qing Feng expressed his desire to learn forging, Qian Gu Die Ting found him a Saint Craftsman as a teacher. In just one month, he had already become a Level One Blacksmith, and it was said that he had touched upon the threshold of Level Two.

After Qian Gu Dong Feng defeated Qian Gu Qing Feng and saw his elder brother go off to learn forging, he assumed that his brother had given up competing with him. Although he no longer had a rival in cultivation, Qian Gu Huang Yu's Innate Domain gave Qian Gu Dong Feng a sense of urgency, driving him to cultivate even more diligently.

After all, the last person to possess an Innate Domain had been Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa, who became a Titled Douluo at nineteen. If he, as her elder brother, could not surpass his little sister in cultivation and strength, how could he protect her?

After seeing that Qian Gu Huang Yu possessed a genuine Evil Martial Soul, Leng Yulai perhaps felt that she had found someone like herself. She finally let go of her inner burden and began cultivating under the guidance of her sister, Leng Yao Zhu. Her progress was highly gratifying.

Everyone had a bright future~

"Tomorrow and the day after, I need to go to Mingdu to take care of something. I'm giving you two days off. Training will continue once I return."

Remembering what Bei Gong Li had told her, Qian Gu Huang Yu could not help twitching at the corner of her mouth.

[Two days off after a month of classes... am I in high school or something?]

Declining Qian Gu Dong Feng and the others' invitation to go out and have fun, Qian Gu Huang Yu headed to the cultivation room Bei Gong Li had left for her.

This was Bei Gong Li's private cultivation room at Spirit Pagoda headquarters. Since Bei Gong Li intended to raise Qian Gu Huang Yu as the inheritor of her legacy, she had given Qian Gu Huang Yu the key early on.

The cultivation room had everything one could need, and she could call for someone to replenish supplies at any time.

However, the reason Qian Gu Huang Yu had come here today was another feature of this cultivation room—absolute secrecy.

No matter how much commotion one caused in this room, the outside would hardly notice. After all, this was a quasi-god's cultivation room. Even a slight leak of a quasi-god's power was not something ordinary people could withstand.

Combined with Bei Gong Li's status, naturally no one in the Spirit Pagoda would be audacious enough to pry into what happened here.

Entering the cultivation room and locking the door, Qian Gu Huang Yu took out the Holy Grail once again.

Although Qian Gu Huang Yu was still unable to uncover the Holy Grail's method of use with her own abilities, the Gate of Babylon contained a Treasure called the Star of Omniscience and Omnipotence.

Of course, the Star of Omniscience and Omnipotence could not make one all-knowing and all-powerful. Rather, it had the ability to see through True Names, Treasures, and hidden truths.

Thus, with the Star of Omniscience and Omnipotence's power, Qian Gu Huang Yu finally understood how to use the Holy Grail.

Unlike the Heroic Spirits summoned in the Holy Grail War from her memories, the Heroic Spirits summoned by Qian Gu Huang Yu's Holy Grail were more like Golden Shining Shining after he had been drenched in black mud.

They possessed physical bodies and did not need a Master to supply them with magical energy. They could even cultivate on their own.

In other words, rather than saying Qian Gu Huang Yu used the Holy Grail to summon a Heroic Spirit, it would be more accurate to say she revived one. Of course, Qian Gu Huang Yu also possessed Command Spells, allowing her to forcibly order the summoned Heroic Spirit to do three things.

There were seven slots for Heroic Spirits: Saber, Archer, Lancer, Rider, Caster, Assassin, and Berserker.

Summoning a Heroic Spirit was also a field of study. Not only did one need to choose a powerful Heroic Spirit, one also had to consider the compatibility between the person being summoned and their class.

What surprised Qian Gu Huang Yu most, however, was that the Holy Relic used for Heroic Spirit Summoning was actually her own memories—her memories from her previous life of someone who had appeared in the original story.

As Qian Gu Huang Yu pondered, she considered which Heroic Spirit she should summon.

[The Soul Power required for Heroic Spirit Summoning isn't that much. I can already do it now. Is this the benefit of being a transmigrator?]

[Since the summons use my memories from my previous life as Holy Relics, I can only choose from people mentioned in the original story.]

[Tsk... and they can't be people from the future.]

[I originally wanted to summon Little Dragon God Rotten Salted Fish directly as a Lancer. Forget it. Even if I summoned him, I probably wouldn't be able to control him, right?]

[The summoned person needs to be strong—at least powerful enough to matter in this era. That rules out ordinary Titled Douluo entirely!]

[Besides that, they need to be someone I can communicate with and form an alliance of interests with. The three chances to use Command Spells are better saved for replenishing magical energy.]

Powerful, capable of forming an alliance of interests, and able to communicate. After thinking for some time, Qian Gu Huang Yu finally settled on her choice.

"Qian Ren Xue, you're the one!"

Although Qian Ren Xue was the weakest of the three gods in Douluo Dalu 1, the strength of a Level One Hundred god was more than enough for Douluo Dalu 3. Moreover, compared with Bibi Dong, Qian Ren Xue should be easier for Qian Gu Huang Yu to reach an agreement with.

[Before Bibi Dong died, she could barely be said to have fulfilled some of her wishes. Spirit Hall was destroyed, her conflict with Grandmaster was laid bare, and she reconciled with her daughter. She died with hope, at least.]

[But after losing her godhood, Qian Ren Xue lived alone on the Douluo Continent for at least a hundred years. Losing both her family and everything she had built was not a blow that could be easily endured.]

[How exactly did she spend those hundred years?]

[As long as I give her hope, she can be used by me.]

Qian Gu Huang Yu silently made her judgment.

After carefully drawing the magic circle, Qian Gu Huang Yu reverently placed the Holy Grail at its center.

"I declare—"

The magic circle lit up.

"Your body shall heed my commands."

"My fate shall be bound to your sword—"

"Answer the Holy Grail's call. Those who submit to this will and this reason, answer me! I am the one who accomplishes all good in the world. I am the embodiment of all evil in the world. You who are entwined by the seven heavens of the three great words of power. Fill, fill, fill, fill, fill! Repeat five times, and when filled, it shall be cast aside. Let the wind descend from heaven and build a wall between us. Let the four gates close. Emerge from the crown, and cycle endlessly at the three-forked road leading to the kingdom. Emerge from the wheel of restraint—

Guardian of the scales!"

The magic circle erupted with blinding light, and the hurricane it raised nearly blew Qian Gu Huang Yu off her feet.

Yet there was no fear or panic in Qian Gu Huang Yu's eyes. They were instead filled with excitement.

"Return to me! Angel God!"
