Light Feather Strikes

Qian Xunji did not leave the Worship Hall. Instead, he directly swallowed the Whale Rubber, instantly feeling a powerful surge of vitality rise within his abdomen as his entire body began to heat up.

Knowing that the Whale Rubber had begun to take effect, Qian Xunji hurriedly sat cross-legged and activated the Angel Meditation Method passed down solely through the Qian Clan bloodline, beginning to absorb the pure energy within his body.

Four figures emerged from behind the Worship Hall, three tall and one short. They were the remaining Elders besides Qian Daoliu.

"Big Brother."

The four bowed to Qian Daoliu, then turned their gazes toward Qian Xunji.

"Big Brother, Ji Er is already past the optimal age. Can this Whale Rubber really have any effect?" Golden Crocodile Douluo asked hesitantly. As everyone knew, the best period for a Spirit Master's cultivation was between the ages of six and twenty.

After that age, even the effects of rare treasures would be greatly diminished.

Qian Daoliu shook his head slightly. "Let's wait. Even if it only helps a little, that is still good."

"Hehe, Big Brother, if it really works, then let us go out for a stroll. I haven't been out in ages."

Light Feather Douluo sat on the middle step, propping his face up with one small hand as his snow-like eyelashes fluttered.

If it truly worked, then they could go out and gather more. Even if they had to pile it onto Qian Xunji, it would still be better than being stuck at Level 96, even if the effects weakened.

After all, the Six-Winged Angel was a God-tier Martial Soul, and it even possessed soul power bestowed by a god. Being stuck at Level 96 was far too embarrassing.

Even if they said nothing, someone as competitive as Qian Xunji surely could not feel good about it.

Qian Daoliu remained silent. With his hands clasped together, he faced the Angel God Statue and prayed devoutly.

"Ah, Big Brother has stopped talking again..." Seeing that Qian Daoliu ignored him, Light Feather Douluo could not help sighing.

"Fifth Brother..."

"Yes, yes, I know, I know."

Azure Luan Douluo shot Light Feather Douluo an annoyed glare.

Before he could say anything else, Light Feather Douluo irritably waved his hand. "Elders are not allowed to leave Spirit City freely. You've said that hundreds of times already. My ears are growing calluses."

"Ah..."

Azure Luan Douluo sighed.

"Fifth Brother, you are still as playful as ever." Mighty Lion Douluo shook his head, rubbing his forehead.

Light Feather spread his small hands. "Can't help it. It's just my nature."

"Enough. Stop talking."

Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke, and the three immediately fell silent. After all, in terms of actual age, this Second Brother was even older than Big Brother. He had cared for them greatly over the years and carried considerable prestige as well.

Even Light Feather stopped fooling around, smacking his lips without making another sound.

Just then, Qian Daoliu finally stopped praying. Turning around, he looked at Light Feather. "Light Feather, I know you have a restless nature. These years in the Worship Hall must have been difficult for you. If you truly wish to go out and have some fun, I can assign you a task."

"What task?"

Hearing Big Brother speak, Light Feather Douluo stood up from the steps.

"Recently, the Spirit Hall Main Hall in Star Luo sent word that several extremely powerful Evil Soul Masters escaped from Slaughter City. Among them, there seems to be a Title Douluo-level existence."

"No problem. Where are they now? I'll deal with them."

Light Feather Douluo immediately perked up. Since entering the Worship Hall, he had not fought for a long time. At last, he had an opportunity to show off his skills and stretch his limbs.

"Fifth Brother, do not be careless," Azure Luan reminded him. Then he turned to Qian Daoliu and volunteered, "Big Brother, Fifth Brother is playful by nature and prone to mishaps when handling matters. I should go with him."

Light Feather immediately refused to accept that and retorted.

"Hey, Third Brother, I only like having fun normally. When it comes to serious matters, I'm very serious, all right?"

"Azure Luan, trust Fifth Brother. Let him go by himself."

Qian Daoliu shook his head slightly. They were only a few Evil Soul Masters. There was no need for Spirit Hall to dispatch two Elders.

Even if there was an Evil Soul Master at the Title Douluo level, he would at most be no higher than Level 95. One Elder, together with the Angel Legion, would be more than enough to suppress them.

Moreover, Qian Daoliu wanted Light Feather to gain some experience. Ever since the boy had joined Spirit Hall, he had never seriously made a move. This was an opportunity.

"But, Big Brother..."

"My decision is made. There is no need to persuade me further."

Azure Luan still wanted to say something, but Qian Daoliu waved his hand. Seeing this, Azure Luan could only sigh and turn his gaze toward Light Feather, warning him.

"Fifth Brother, this operation is no trivial matter. You absolutely, absolutely must not let your love of play delay the mission."

"Yes, I promise you. I won't mess around. Is that good enough?"

Light Feather replied helplessly, holding three fingers together in a pledge.

At the same time, he grumbled inwardly.

Third Brother is usually such a cool, handsome guy. Why is he acting like an old mother now, nagging nonstop?

"Mm."

Seeing this, Azure Luan said no more. He had made his point. If he continued, Fifth Brother's rebellious streak would emerge.

"Big Brother, where did those Evil Soul Masters flee?"

Light Feather asked about the matter again, his expression serious.

"A total of five Spirit Masters escaped from Slaughter City. One is suspected to be a Title Douluo, while the other four consist of one Soul Douluo and three Soul Saints."

"Whatever method they used, they escaped and followed the Dragon Blood River all the way southeast toward the Earth Dragon Mountain Range."

"The Earth Dragon Mountain Range... I remember there is a city of a million people there. Those people should be heading for it."

Golden Crocodile frowned upon hearing this, guessing their objective.

"Hmph, whatever their goal is, there is no time to waste. I'll take people and set out first."

Light Feather Douluo waved his hand. In it, he held a detailed map of the Earth Dragon Mountain Range.

"Mm, go."

Qian Daoliu waved his hand.

"I'm off."

Light Feather Douluo waved, turned, and left the Worship Hall. He set out with more than a dozen Soul Saint-level members of the Angel Legion.

Only after Light Feather left did Azure Luan Douluo ask worriedly, "Big Brother, will Light Feather really be all right going alone?"

Qian Daoliu shook his head slightly. Knowing how close the two were, he stepped forward and patted Azure Luan's shoulder. "It will be fine. Demon Bear Elder is there as well. Besides, Fifth Brother is a Level 96 Super Douluo. You should trust him."

Azure Luan Douluo opened his mouth, but in the end, he nodded. "I understand, Big Brother."

Come to think of it, how could he underestimate Fifth Brother like this?

No matter what, the other man was a Level 96 Super Douluo. Only those of the same level could understand the hardships he had endured along the way.

Since he had reached his current achievements, he naturally would not act recklessly when faced with serious matters.

At that moment, Qian Xunji finally opened his eyes, a flash of delight crossing them.

"Father, it really works!!"
