In the center, Qian Renxue's pride suffered another vicious blow. Just moments ago, she had been thrilled over awakening the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul and Innate Soul Power Level 20, imagining that one day she would surpass her grandfather and reach the legendary Level 100.
But now, that person she hated most had not only awakened the Sky Swallowing Demonic Crocodile Martial Soul, which was stronger than the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, but also possessed Innate Pseudo-Soul Power Level 100. As long as he cultivated step by step in the future, he would definitely reach Level 100, with no bottlenecks and soul rings forming on their own.
Compared to him, she was simply ridiculously weak...
Damn it, how could this be?!
This couldn't be happening!
Qian Renxue roared soundlessly, yet she could not change the facts at all...
After saying this, Qian Daoliu's gaze toward Jin Lingfeng had changed from satisfaction to burning fervor. Reaching Level 100 and becoming a god had been his lifelong dream, yet one he had never been able to fulfill.
His granddaughter Qian Renxue had awakened the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. She might surpass him in the future and reach Level 100, but it was only a possibility. Jin Lingfeng, however, possessed Innate Pseudo-Soul Power Level 100. So long as he did not die prematurely, he would definitely reach Level 100 in the future!
One was merely possible, with some hope; the other was one hundred percent certain. The difference was immediately clear!
If Qian Daoliu had previously believed that Jin Lingfeng's Sky Swallowing Demonic Crocodile Martial Soul, which was stronger than the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, made him worthy of his granddaughter Qian Renxue, then now he even felt that Qian Renxue was somewhat unworthy of Jin Lingfeng. With Jin Lingfeng's talent and prospects, he would far surpass Qian Renxue!
It seems I need to take advantage of Jin Lingfeng's current fondness for Xue'er and quickly bring the two of them together.
Otherwise, although Xue'er possesses peerless beauty, there is no guarantee that women no less outstanding than her will not appear around Jin Lingfeng in the future.
A supreme genius like Jin Lingfeng must be firmly bound to Spirit Hall!
As Qian Daoliu thought this, his gaze toward Jin Lingfeng in the center gained a hint of ingratiation and endless excitement. He sat back down on his throne and nodded to himself in satisfaction.
Below, on the first throne to the right, the Second Worship, Golden Crocodile Douluo, was already overjoyed upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words. He was so excited that he could not close his mouth, his face beaming as he stared at his grandson Jin Lingfeng in the center, filled with heartfelt pride and gratification.
Who would have thought that the Golden Crocodile Clan would produce a Level 100 powerhouse from the legends of Douluo Continent in the future—and that this person would be his own grandson? How could Golden Crocodile Douluo not be excited?
He had already begun imagining the day when Qian Daoliu, the Level 99 Peerless Douluo, would treat him with utmost respect. He had always been suppressed and forced to remain second best for a thousand years; Golden Crocodile Douluo had long been dissatisfied with that.
As for the other worships, they all cast envious, ingratiating looks at Golden Crocodile Douluo. They understood that before many years had passed, the Angel Clan's reputation as the continent's foremost Martial Soul clan would be taken by the Golden Crocodile Clan...
For a time, the atmosphere in the entire main hall became extremely oppressive, without a single sound.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on Jin Lingfeng in the center and the several-meter-tall evil Sky Swallowing Demonic Crocodile behind him. Qian Renxue, who had awakened the strongest angel Martial Soul, the Six-Winged Angel, was instead ignored by everyone...
Qian Renxue lightly pressed her thin lips together, her beautiful eyes revealing unwillingness as she looked at Jin Lingfeng beside her. Even at this point, she still could not accept the truth.
Now that Jin Lingfeng had awakened the Sky Swallowing Demonic Crocodile Martial Soul and possessed Innate Pseudo-Soul Power Level 100, Qian Renxue could already imagine him looking down on her in the future. The proud and arrogant girl could not accept that. She only wished that he would flatter and please her, just as everyone else did...
However, at that moment, another sudden change occurred!
Jin Lingfeng in the center had no idea that everyone's opinion of him had changed dramatically. His body was still trembling violently, because besides the Sky Swallowing Demonic Crocodile Martial Soul, an even more powerful force was erupting within him!
"Ah!"
Suddenly, Jin Lingfeng's face flushed red as a loud roar burst from his mouth.
Immediately afterward, the evil aura filling the entire main hall vanished, replaced by the aura of a pure, gentle God-tier Martial Soul that seemed to stand above all things. At the same time, the Sky Swallowing Demonic Crocodile Martial Soul behind Jin Lingfeng transformed into a palm-sized jade bead, entirely blue and crystal-clear!
The instant the jade bead appeared, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul condensed behind Qian Renxue, who stood closest to Jin Lingfeng, was forcibly suppressed until it dispersed.
Qian Renxue was sent falling to the ground, dizzy and gasping for breath. Her little face had turned bright red, as though she were enduring immense pressure!
On the other side, all seven worships in the main hall, including Qian Daoliu, the Level 99 Peerless Douluo, felt immense pressure the instant the jade bead appeared. It was even more terrifying than the Sky Swallowing Demonic Crocodile Martial Soul from before, and they could only circulate their Soul Power to forcibly resist it!
If the pressure brought by the Sky Swallowing Demonic Crocodile Martial Soul had been a drop of water, then the pressure brought by this jade bead was a vast ocean. It was utterly terrifying and deeply shocked everyone once again!
This was Jin Lingfeng's second Martial Soul, the God-tier Martial Soul Primal Chaos Bead!
"Xue'er, are you all right?!"
Qian Daoliu was the first to react. He mobilized the Soul Power of a Level 99 Peerless Douluo to protect himself, then rushed toward his granddaughter Qian Renxue in the center and quickly shielded her with his Soul Power.
The seven worships all possessed strength above Level 95 Titled Douluo, yet they were still subjected to extremely powerful suppression and had no choice but to use Soul Power to resist the pressure emitted by the jade bead. If Qian Renxue had not awakened the Angel Clan's strongest Martial Soul, the Six-Winged Angel, she would likely have already fainted under the pressure.
"Grandpa, how does that guy have a God-tier Martial Soul too? And it's so strong! My Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul was actually suppressed until it collapsed."
"It's not fair! I only have one Martial Soul, but he has two! Grandpa, you lied to me! Didn't you tell me that every person could only have one Martial Soul?"
"Hmph, Grandpa lied to Xue'er. I'm not going to talk to you anymore!"
Qian Renxue puffed out her little cheeks and looked toward Jin Lingfeng, who was bathed in divine radiance beside her. Her eyes were filled with envy and defiance. She had always believed she would definitely be better than him, yet she had now been utterly crushed?
Still, beneath her envy and unwillingness, Qian Renxue sincerely acknowledged Jin Lingfeng. No matter how unwilling she was to accept it, Jin Lingfeng truly surpassed her by far in talent.
Qian Daoliu had always doted on his granddaughter Qian Renxue. Moreover, after his son Qian Xunji passed away three months earlier, he now treated his granddaughter as the apple of his eye, afraid she would melt if held in his mouth or freeze if held in his hands.
Qian Daoliu hurriedly patted his granddaughter Qian Renxue on the head and coaxed her ingratiatingly:
"Xue'er, how could Grandpa ever lie to you? Grandpa loves Xue'er the most."
"Under normal circumstances, everyone has only one Martial Soul. However, there is an extremely small chance that someone may possess two Martial Souls, commonly known as Twin Martial Souls."
"Only a handful of such people have appeared throughout the entire history of Douluo Continent, so I never told you about it."
"As for why Jin Lingfeng's second Martial Soul is such a powerful God-tier Martial Soul, we must ask the Second Worship, Golden Crocodile Douluo."
"Just who is his daughter-in-law, to have passed down such an astonishing God-tier Martial Soul to Jin Lingfeng?!"
After he finished speaking, Qian Daoliu looked uncertainly toward Golden Crocodile Douluo on the throne. The other worships looked at him the same way, while Qian Renxue quietly turned to look as well.
With everyone staring at him, Golden Crocodile Douluo quickly came to his senses. Though proud, he gave an awkward smile and said:
"Everyone, back then, my son went out traveling and suddenly brought Feng'er back for me to raise."
"Afterward, he left. As for my mysterious daughter-in-law, I truly have no idea who she is..."
