My Hands Went Numb from All the Gifts; I Planned to Match Lin Du with Xue'er!

"Eh!"

"Big Brother,"

"what do you mean we didn't even show anything?"

"You've misunderstood us."

"What do you think we went off to do just now?"

"Of course, we went to prepare a welcome gift for Lin Du!"

"Lin Du,"

"take this."

"This is Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly for you."

"After consuming it, it can greatly strengthen a Spirit Master's physique."

"You haven't absorbed any Spirit Rings yet,"

"so you can consume this before absorbing them."

"It can increase the age limit of the Spirit Rings you can absorb,"

"which will be very beneficial to you."

Golden Crocodile Spirit refuted Qian Daoliu as he spoke,

then tossed Lin Du a palm-sized black object.

The object was pitch-black, like charcoal,

yet its surface was as smooth as a mirror.

It felt cool like jade,

with a faint metallic sheen.

"Thank you, Second Worship."

Lin Du thanked him softly,

and gladly accepted the Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly from Golden Crocodile Spirit.

"Second Brother really is generous."

"He even has a treasure like Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly."

"My Soul Tool is starting to seem a little embarrassing to bring out."

However,

though he claimed it was embarrassing,

Azure Luan Spirit still took out a pair of light, nimble boots.

"Little Lin Du,"

"these Wind Spirit Boots are for you."

"After putting them on, you'll possess the speed of a Spirit Emperor."

"At the same time,"

"the Levitation Array built into them can allow you to float in the air."

"I've already infused them with Soul Power for you."

"It should let you remain airborne for roughly two hours."

"Once the Soul Power is depleted,"

"just come find me to replenish it."

"Thank you, Third Enshrined."

Lin Du happily accepted the Soul Tool boots,

and thanked him again.

"Spirit Emperor-level speed,"

"and it can fly too."

"Third Brother,"

"isn't this a little too competitive?"

"Still,"

"my item isn't bad either."

Mighty Lion Douluo had just accused Azure Luan Spirit of competing,

when he immediately pulled out an arm bone radiating blazing white light.

Judging from its shape,

it was precisely a Right Arm Bone, unlike the Icefire Wolf's.

"This is the right arm Spirit Bone of a Bright Green Lion."

"Like the Icefire Wolf left arm bone you have, A Du,"

"it is also ten thousand years old."

"It's yours."

As he spoke,

Mighty Lion Douluo tossed the right arm Spirit Bone to Lin Du.

"Thank you, Fourth Enshrined."

By now, Lin Du had become a merciless thanking machine,

happily accepting the gifts from the Enshrined.

"I'm the same as Third Brother."

"I'm giving you a Soul Tool too."

"However,"

"mine is an offensive Soul Tool."

"It's called the Bone-Piercing Crossbow."

"As the name suggests,"

"it's a crossbow with piercing properties."

"It can easily penetrate the defenses of a Soul King."

"And it fires swiftly,"

"so unless they're speed-type Spirit Masters, they can't dodge it."

As Light Plume Douluo spoke,

he tossed Lin Du a delicate arm crossbow.

"Thank you, Fifth Enshrined!"

Lin Du caught the Bone-Piercing Crossbow thrown by Light Plume Douluo,

and directly strapped it onto his right arm.

"Little Lin Du,"

"this Ten Thousand Scale Inner Armor is for you."

"It can withstand three full-powered attacks from a Soul King,"

"or one full-powered attack from a Spirit Emperor."

Thousand Jun Spirit took out an azure dragon-scale inner armor,

while his twin younger brother, Demon Subduing Spirit, pulled out a simply designed ring.

"This is a spatial Soul Tool."

"It's called the Mustard Seed Sumeru Ring."

"It has around thirty cubic meters of space inside."

"It can be used to store inanimate objects."

"It's yours."

"Thank you, Sixth Enshrined and Seventh Enshrined!"

Lin Du accepted the gifts from the two of them,

then used the Mustard Seed Sumeru Ring to store the gifts from the other Enshrined.

"Say, Old Seven,"

"why does this Mustard Seed Sumeru Ring look so familiar to me?"

"Didn't you give one to Xue'er before?"

Mighty Lion Douluo looked at the Mustard Seed Sumeru Ring on Lin Du's finger,

a trace of recollection appearing on his face.

"That's right."

"This is a matching pair."

Demon Subduing Spirit did not deny it,

and nodded directly in confirmation.

Only after hearing Demon Subduing Spirit's words did Lin Du notice

that Qian Renxue also wore an identical ring on her finger.

Sensing Lin Du's gaze,

Qian Renxue snorted coldly and turned her head away,

clearly still harboring some hostility toward him.

Noticing Qian Renxue's attitude toward Lin Du,

Qian Daoliu frowned slightly,

then spoke in a deep voice.

"There's nothing else to do now."

"Xue'er,"

"take Lin Du around Spirit Hall."

"Let him familiarize himself with the surroundings."

"I refuse to go around with him!"

Hearing that Qian Daoliu wanted her to take Lin Du, the thief who had stolen everyone's affection, for a stroll,

Qian Renxue refused without hesitation.

However, her refusal had no effect.

A moment later,

Qian Renxue led Lin Du out of Douluo Hall with an unwilling expression,

clearly having failed to resist.

"Big Brother,"

"you're being far too sly."

"We brothers have all given our gifts."

"When it came to your turn,"

"you casually said one sentence and had Xue'er take Lin Du away."

"What,"

"were you afraid we'd laugh at your gift for being too embarrassing to show?"

After the two left,

Golden Crocodile Spirit turned to Qian Daoliu,

his words carrying a hint of teasing.

"Second Brother,"

"which eye of yours didn't see me give Lin Du a gift?"

Qian Daoliu glanced at Golden Crocodile Spirit,

the smile on his face somewhat mysterious.

"Neither of my eyes saw you give Big Brother a gift..."

"Wait,"

"Big Brother,"

"you aren't really going this far, are you?"

"You intend to have Xue'er..."

Golden Crocodile Spirit suddenly understood,

and looked at Qian Daoliu in disbelief.

"I do have such thoughts."

"Lin Du's Innate Soul Power is level twenty."

"His talent is worthy of Xue'er."

"The offspring born from the two of them,"

"will certainly exceed our imagination."

Qian Daoliu did not deny it,

instead nodding slightly in affirmation.

"But..."

"But isn't Xue'er going to undergo the God Trial?"

"Matching Lin Du and Xue'er together just like this..."

"Would it have any effect?"

Golden Crocodile Spirit met Qian Daoliu's gaze,

his face carrying a hint of uncertainty.

"It won't have any effect."

"With Lin Du's talent,"

"he may very well be able to become a God like Xue'er."

Qian Daoliu's face was filled with certainty,

and he had great confidence in Lin Du.

The reason he was so confident

was because the Qian Family itself was an example.

There was something he had never told anyone.

The Qian Family's Martial Soul was a God-Bestowed Spirit,

and their Innate Soul Power was level twenty.

In other words,

Lin Du's Martial Soul was very likely also a God-Bestowed Spirit.

And that meant

Lin Du would be able to become a God in the future as well.

By then,

the Qian Family would have two Gods.

And if Lin Du and Qian Renxue left behind descendants after becoming Gods,

wouldn't the descendants of two Gods

be divine children?

By then,

the Qian Family would no longer be called servants of the Gods,

but a true—

family of Gods!
