Qian Renxue hugged her shoulders with her jade hands, looking at the young man before her with arrogant eyes.
Although she appeared cold and distant on the surface, like an ice mountain pushing people away, she was actually a little nervous inside.
In any world, men and women are creatures of instinct. Just as Qian Renxue possessed a captivating beauty at such a young age, Jin Lingfeng fell for her.
Jin Lingfeng himself had a maturity and handsomeness beyond his peers. Qian Renxue had been attracted to him long ago, but being the proud person she was, she would never show it. That's why she used to dislike him when Jin Lingfeng didn't try to please her like others did.
It could be said that in terms of temperament and appearance, Jin Lingfeng had already earned Qian Renxue's approval. However, in the Douluo Continent, a world where strength reigned supreme, while women could conquer men with their looks and temperament, men needed true strength in addition to looks and temperament to conquer women.
Clearly, after awakening his Martial Soul, Jin Lingfeng's talent and strength had gained Qian Renxue's recognition. But this was just recognition. For someone like Qian Renxue, with her strong self-esteem and queenly personality, why would she agree to an engagement with a man she had no feelings for?
While it was undeniable that Jin Lingfeng was handsome and had captured the maiden's heart, and his talent was unparalleled, deeply impressing her, Qian Renxue still couldn't accept it.
Yet, the moment she heard Jin Lingfeng personally say he was willing to get engaged to her, Qian Renxue secretly rejoiced. It was a very complex feeling, and she didn't understand why she felt that way…
Everyone knew that Jin Lingfeng had awakened two terrifying Martial Souls and possessed a congenital pseudo-Soul Power of level 100. But at this moment, without using his Soul Power or Martial Soul, how could he possibly be a match for Qian Renxue, who had level 20 Soul Power and the strongest Martial Soul of the Angel Clan, the Six-Winged Angel?
On the throne to the right, Golden Crocodile Douluo's slightly eased expression turned dark. He hadn't expected Qian Renxue to be so ungrateful and difficult even after Jin Lingfeng had shown such immense talent. Enraged, he slammed the table and let out a cold snort!
Below, Qian Daoliu's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected his usually well-behaved granddaughter, Qian Renxue, to act in a way that tarnished the Angel Clan's reputation multiple times today. Not only did her refusal to get engaged to Jin Lingfeng embarrass him, but demanding that Jin Lingfeng not use his Soul Power or Martial Soul was already deeply humiliating!
But at this moment, Jin Lingfeng, who had been silent, smiled and spoke:
"No problem, Xue'er, I promise you, I won't use my Martial Soul or Soul Power to fight you."
Jin Lingfeng's voice was not loud, but in the quiet main hall, it was exceptionally clear, causing everyone to freeze.
Qian Renxue tilted her head slightly, her beautiful brows furrowed as she looked at the man before her. He still had that calm and confident demeanor. Did he truly believe he could defeat her?
For some reason, Qian Renxue felt a sense of hesitation. What if she accidentally lost to him? Would she really have to get engaged to this detestable guy?
Golden Crocodile Douluo cast a doubtful glance at Jin Lingfeng. Ever since he was three years old, he had liked to stay in his room, doing who knew what. Every time he came out, his face was pale and he was drenched in sweat, as if he had just finished some strenuous exercise. But why was he accepting Qian Renxue's challenge now?
Qian Daoliu, a level 99 Peerless Douluo, after a brief moment of surprise, gazed intently at the young man before him. The confidence in the boy's eyes was unconcealed, his demeanor full of assurance. Did he truly have the confidence to defeat Qian Renxue, who had level 20 Soul Power, without using his Martial Soul or Soul Power?
At the same time, the expressions of the other Grand Priests also became very solemn. After all, Jin Lingfeng had already performed many miracles today. Perhaps, besides his Martial Soul and Soul Power, he had other trump cards up his sleeve.
Jin Lingfeng paid no attention to the others' expressions. Instead, he smiled and gazed at Qian Renxue. Perhaps due to nervousness, her cheeks were flushed, making her look incredibly cute. He felt an urge to reach out and pinch her cheek.
"Xue'er, what's wrong?"
"Are you afraid of losing to me and don't dare to fight?"
He deliberately looked at Qian Renxue with a playful, provocative gaze.
Before transmigrating to the Douluo Continent, Jin Lingfeng had been a Super Soldier King on Earth, proficient in physical combat and fighting techniques, having reached the pinnacle of mastery. Now, after awakening the Sky Swallowing Demonic Crocodile Martial Soul, his physical body had become extremely powerful. Even without using his Soul Power and Martial Soul, Qian Renxue was no match for him.
As expected, the proud Qian Renxue was quickly provoked.
She crossed her arms in front of her, assumed a fighting stance, and sneered at Jin Lingfeng:
"Hmph, Jin Lingfeng, do you still think I, Qian Renxue, am afraid of you!"
"Bring it on! Let our battle begin. Whoever knocks the other down first wins!"
"And I won't say I'm bullying you. I'll let you make the first move!"
Jin Lingfeng chuckled, his voice suddenly becoming extremely charming and wicked:
"Xue'er, since that's the case, I won't hold back. Don't blame me for not being gentle!"
"Eight Inner Gates, Third Gate, Gate of Life, Open!"
Three explosive sounds emanated from Jin Lingfeng's body, as if something within him had been unblocked.
Immediately after, to everyone's shocked gaze, his body vanished from its original spot without any warning!
Qian Renxue gasped in surprise. She could feel Jin Lingfeng's aura rapidly approaching, but she couldn't see his figure. Even activating her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul and channeling her level 20 Soul Power had no effect!
Qian Renxue finally realized the vast difference between them. Unconsciously, her attitude towards Jin Lingfeng began to shift in a positive direction…
Qian Daoliu was the first to react. In his vision, Jin Lingfeng was moving at an incredibly fast speed. There was a not-weak power within him, as if a seal had been broken, suddenly increasing his speed dramatically!
Golden Crocodile Douluo, after his initial surprise, began to grin broadly again. Jin Lingfeng continued to bring him one surprise after another today, comforting him and lifting his spirits, making him proud of Jin Lingfeng. It was clear that the duel between Jin Lingfeng and Qian Renxue was now without suspense.
On the other side, the other Grand Priests could also discern Jin Lingfeng's movements, but they relied on their own Titled Douluo Soul Power. They were shocked by the technique Jin Lingfeng displayed. Now, without using Soul Power or his Martial Soul, his physical strength had reached the level of a Soul Elder…
In an instant, Jin Lingfeng appeared behind Qian Renxue. He tripped her with his foot and gently placed his hands on her shoulders, instantly bringing her down to the ground.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Qian Renxue hadn't even reacted, her eyes still staring blankly at the smiling young man before her.
At this moment, Qian Daoliu burst into hearty laughter and said to Golden Crocodile Douluo:
"Golden Crocodile, the outcome of Feng'er and Xue'er's duel is decided. It seems that we two old fellows are destined to become in-laws in the future."
As he spoke, Qian Daoliu walked over to Golden Crocodile Douluo, patted his shoulder, and wore a gentle smile. Anyone who didn't know them might have thought they were old friends.
Golden Crocodile Douluo sneered inwardly. In the past, as the Second Worship, he had always been suppressed by Qian Daoliu. The latter had always addressed him as Golden Crocodile Douluo. Now, he was shamelessly insisting on marrying his granddaughter, Qian Renxue, to his grandson, Jin Lingfeng, and even changed his address to the familiar "Golden Crocodile." How shameless!
