First Trial Complete

"After all, I'm a level 95 Titled Douluo and an elder of Spirit Hall, yet I actually got beaten."

"What angered Chrysanthemum Douluo even more was that Dugu Bo had become the Eighth Enshrined. He had struggled for so many years without ever qualifying to become the Eighth Enshrined."

Worship Hall.

Seeing Bai Ying return safely, Qian Xiaoliu finally let out a sigh of relief.

After settling Dugu Bo and the others, Golden Crocodile Douluo and Qing Luan Douluo could hardly wait to share the wonderful news with Qian Daoliu.

"Xiao Ying, it seems you truly deserve the title of Spirit Hall Holy Son."

"That's right, that's right. Your two grandpas have high hopes for you."

"You two grandpas flatter me. I was merely lucky."

"Stop being modest. Obtaining the Asura God Nine Trials already proves your talent. In the Star Dou Great Forest, you instantly dealt with so many hundred-year Soul Beasts. Your potential is simply terrifying."

Hearing this, even Bai Ying felt a little lightheaded from the praise.

After meeting Qian Daoliu, the two of them told him everything that had happened over the past few days.

Even Qian Daoliu, a Peerless Douluo, was startled.

After dismissing the two of them, Qian Daoliu looked at Bai Ying and said, "Did you really obtain a God Trial?"

Looking at the blood-red totem on Bai Ying's body, Qian Daoliu could not help asking.

Bai Ying said helplessly, "Of course it's real. Could this totem possibly deceive you?"

"Old man, you're a Peerless Douluo, and the foremost Great Enshriner of Spirit Hall. Could you pay a little attention to your image?"

"Do you know how difficult it is to obtain a god's inheritance?"

Qian Daoliu could not help saying, "His close friend Tang Chen vanished without a trace while searching for a god's inheritance, and his ultimate whereabouts remain unknown."

"Isn't it just a god's trial? Look how excited you are. Besides, I'm the one who received the trial, not you. So, what do you think? Your grandson-in-law isn't bad, right?"

"Not bad, not bad at all. It seems Heaven truly has eyes."

"From now on, you are Spirit Hall's Holy Son. You have the authority to allocate any resources of Spirit Hall."

"Spirit Hall's Holy Son? It sounds pretty good, but now isn't the right time. Would Bibi Dong agree?"

"If she dares disagree, just watch how I deal with her."

Qian Daoliu had never been this happy before. Looking at the child he had picked up, he felt an instinctive sense of pride.

Ding. Please complete the Asura God First Trial as soon as possible.

Hearing the system's voice, Bai Ying said speechlessly, "Didn't you see that I just got back? Won't you even let me rest? Do you know that not resting properly can affect my body?"

Host, that applies to ordinary people. You are not an ordinary person; you are a Soul Master, so it will not affect you.

"Old man, old man, I need to complete the Asura God First Trial as soon as possible. I have to hunt thirty Soul Beasts using my own abilities, and I'm still short eight. If you have nothing else to do, take me there. Grandpa said Spirit Hall keeps eight Soul Beasts in captivity."

"Fine, I'll take you there now."

Qian Daoliu brought Bai Ying to Spirit Hall's breeding grounds almost instantly.

The guards immediately bowed and knelt upon seeing Qian Daoliu. "Greetings, Great Enshriner."

"Are all the Soul Beasts being kept here?"

"They are all here."

"Good. You may withdraw." With that, he instantly brought Bai Ying into the breeding area.

"Alright, old man. Leave the rest to me!"

Qian Daoliu nodded and stepped aside. He also wanted to see just how powerful this grandson-in-law of his was, to have been chosen by the Asura God as an inheritor.

Although the captive Soul Beasts were much easier to handle than wild ones, it was still extremely difficult for a Soul Master without any Spirit Rings to deal with them.

Relying on senses several times sharper than those of ordinary people, Bai Ying quickly found the eight Soul Beasts.

"You're going to deal with all eight Soul Beasts at once?"

"Have you lost your mind?"

Qian Daoliu's sudden outburst left Bai Ying speechless. "Don't worry, old man. I'll be fine. Finding them one by one is too troublesome. I might as well take them all out at once."

"Let me show you what I'm really capable of!"

Bai Ying immediately drew the Time Battle Saber.

"Time Seal."

As he activated the Divine Weapon's skill, time in the surrounding area abruptly froze, as if the entire world had solidified in that instant. The eight Soul Beasts had been wandering leisurely, but suddenly discovered that they could not move, as though an invisible force had imprisoned them. Even the air seemed to freeze, suffocating everyone present.

Standing to the side, Qian Daoliu watched the scene with a flash of surprise in his eyes. Though he was a Peerless Douluo, he still seemed insignificant before the power of a Divine Weapon. He could clearly sense that immense power, yet he could not resist it.

Then Bai Ying moved. Holding the Time Battle Saber, he moved like the wind, rapidly weaving between the eight Soul Beasts. Every flash of his blade caused one Soul Beast to vanish. The entire process seemed to finish in an instant, leaving the eye unable to follow it.

They were destroyed in an instant.

"What just happened?"

"Old man, I just used a Divine Weapon skill that can briefly stop time."

Stopping time... that was truly outrageous.

With that thought, Qian Daoliu said, "Your First Trial is complete now, right?"

"I suppose it counts."

The red totems above Bai Ying's head suddenly released dazzling crimson light, like burning flames and boiling blood. The radiance grew ever more intense until it dyed the entire space blood-red. At that moment, Qian Daoliu felt as though a Slaughter God was descending. Even he, a Peerless Douluo, felt his heart tremble at that terrifying aura.

Immediately afterward, two dazzling spheres of light appeared out of thin air before Bai Ying. They slowly rotated, radiating a chilling aura. Each sphere seemed to contain endless power, making it impossible to look at them directly.

Then a majestic, killing-intent-filled voice resounded through the space. "Asura God Nine Trials, First Trial complete. Reward: two God-Bestowed Spirit Rings."

"Fuck, speak of the devil and he appears."

"God-Bestowed Spirit Rings!"

"These are actually God-Bestowed Spirit Rings. Back then, even he had only received one God-Bestowed Spirit Ring after completing the Eighth Trial. Yet this kid had directly received two. His luck was absolutely insane!"

"Old man, jealous? These are God-Bestowed Spirit Rings."

"Considering how talented you are, I'll let you off for hitting me this time."

"I was naturally talented to begin with. If my talent were poor, how could I possibly become your grandson-in-law?"
