Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at the grinning youth before him and sensed that the boy seemed different somehow. He had never called him Uncle so affectionately before; he had always acted so high and mighty, as if none of these old men were worth his notice. Only after seeing that Qian Xunji's expression did not seem feigned did he slowly say, "You brat, don't put on an act in front of me. I used less than ten percent of my strength."
"Hehe." Even after being exposed, he was not embarrassed. As long as I'm not embarrassed, the embarrassed one is someone else.
At that moment, Thousand Jun Falling Devil and the other Worships also arrived, quietly watching this old-and-young pair clown around. Noticing that people had come, Qian Xunji stopped as well and greeted each Worship in turn. The Worships did not put on airs and accepted his greetings one by one.
"Tell us, what is going on with your Martial Soul?" Qian Daoliu stepped forward and asked.
"Greetings, Great Worship." The Seven Great Worships bowed to Qian Daoliu in unison. Qian Daoliu waved a hand. [Note: At the time, Qian Daoliu was both the Pope of Spirit Hall and the Great Worship of the Worship Hall.]
Seeing the Seven Great Worships and his father all looking at him, Qian Xunji began:
"This is my new Martial Soul—my Second Martial Soul, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger bestowed its Martial Soul upon me. It possesses the powers of six elements: wind, darkness, evil, time, space, and lightning. I also gained the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's devouring trait, which lets me devour a target's Life Force and Soul Power to replenish myself."
"What? A new Martial Soul? And an unprecedented Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Martial Soul at that?" Golden Jaw Douluo asked in shock. The other Worships were equally astonished.
"Great Worship, how did little Ji'er suddenly gain such a Martial Soul for no reason?"
I didn't expect this either. Who am I supposed to ask if you're asking me?
"Ask him yourself," Qian Daoliu said.
Thus, Qian Xunji repeated what he had told Qian Daoliu earlier to Golden Jaw Douluo and the other Worships.
"It seems misfortune has turned into a blessing for you. Good thing you pulled through. As expected of a Descendant of Angel God—your luck is truly extraordinary," Golden Jaw Douluo said with a sigh.
"Not bad, not bad. Third best in the world," Qian Xunji said with a "humble" expression.
"Give you an inch and you take a mile." Golden Crocodile Douluo curled his lip disdainfully.
Qian Daoliu, standing nearby, also noticed that his son had changed somewhat after waking up. He had become more cheerful. Gone was the sinister air that had once lingered between his brows; instead, he now exuded confidence. Combined with that handsome face, he possessed an indescribable carefree charm. As a father, Qian Daoliu was naturally delighted by this change in his son. He had only this one Heir and had always placed great expectations on him.
"Ahem... Ji'er, how is the seventh Soul Ring of your Angel Martial Soul?" Qian Daoliu asked.
One Soul Ring after another slowly rose from beneath Qian Xunji's feet—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black—radiating immense pressure. The seventh Soul Ring in particular seemed different from the rest, wreathed in faint dark mist, as though some terrifying existence was about to awaken.
"My seventh Soul Ring was provided by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. After obtaining it, my Innate Domain, the Angel Domain, fully awakened." As he spoke, golden light flickered around Qian Xunji. Under the illumination of that intense golden glow, his eyes turned completely gold. A massive phantom whose face could not be seen appeared behind him. The wings behind that Golden Light and Shadow came in three pairs—six in total.
Qian Xunji activated the Angel Domain. Once deployed, the Angel Domain could cover thousands of square meters in the air, and within it, Qian Xunji was the absolute ruler. The Angel Domain could render him illusory, increase his own strength by thirty percent, and weaken enemies by ten percent. The domain was filled with holy power that continuously dissolved and purified the enemy's Soul Power. It could also greatly weaken the enemy's Sensory Ability; even Teleportation could not escape the Angel Domain's range.
Feeling this immense pressure, everyone from Spirit Hall marveled at the extraordinary nature of the domain.
Qian Xunji continued, "The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger seems to have brought me more than just this. I also gained another domain called the 'Fallen Angel Domain.' Once deployed, the Fallen Angel Domain can cover thousands of square meters in the air. It increases my own strength by thirty percent and weakens enemies by ten percent. The domain is filled with the Power of Darkness, which can continuously devour an enemy's Mental Power and greatly weaken their Sensory Ability."
There was one more thing Qian Xunji did not mention. In truth, he had three domains. Aside from the Angel Domain and Fallen Angel Domain, he also had a third domain: the Dark Demon Evil God Domain. After all, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Martial Soul, as a God-Tier Martial Soul comparable to the Six-Winged Angel, naturally came with an Innate Domain. However, Qian Xunji could only use it superficially for now. The Dark Demon Evil God Domain would have to wait until he added seven Soul Rings to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Martial Soul before it could fully awaken.
After hearing Qian Xunji's words, Qian Daoliu fell silent. He was truly shaken that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had granted Qian Xunji both a domain and a God-Tier Martial Soul. But when he considered the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's special nature, he accepted it.
Meanwhile, the Second Worship was completely dumbstruck, while the other Worships wore expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
"Golden Jaw, issue the order. No one is to leak the news of Ji'er's Second Martial Soul. Otherwise, it may stir the sensitive nerves of certain people. I may be able to protect Ji'er for a time, but not for a lifetime. He must ultimately grow and become strong on his own before he can better inherit Spirit Hall and inherit my position," Qian Daoliu said solemnly.
"Yes," Golden Jaw Douluo replied. Then he looked at Qian Xunji and patted his shoulder. "Work hard and grow stronger. If anything happens, remember to come find me. I'll be leaving first."
Qian Xunji nodded and answered, "Got it."
