The Secret of the Angel Martial Soul Revealed

Yu Longchen's deep voice resounded throughout the venue. "Today's battle among the younger generation is a rare blessing in the soul master world, one not seen in a hundred years. The Pope's children will spar with the young disciples of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Of course, if any of you wish to display the strength of your own younger generation, this old man welcomes it."

"What does Your Holiness the Pope think?"

Yu Longchen turned his gaze to Qian Xunji, who replied gently, "This is a sparring match among the younger generation. All challengers are welcome."

Qian Renhan smiled. "Xiaoxue, go on. Beat a few more of them."

"I'm going, Brother." Qian Renxue nodded, rose to her feet, and stepped onto the arena.

Yu Longchen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan did not know that the Innate Soul Power of the Angel Martial Soul was ten levels higher than that of other Martial Souls. He was just about to send up a clan disciple who had recently obtained his first Spirit Ring when a small figure darted onto the stage ahead of him. That person was Feng Xiaotian.

The Divine Wind Academy Headmaster was greatly alarmed. He hurriedly rose and cupped his hands toward Yu Longchen and Qian Xunji. "Thunder Sovereign, Your Holiness the Pope, my grandson is being mischievous. This old man will bring him back at once."

Before the Divine Wind Academy Headmaster could act, Yu Longchen raised a hand and smiled. "It's fine. I already said that all young challengers are welcome. It's not a bad thing for children to be a little mischievous."

Hearing this, the Divine Wind Academy Headmaster secretly let out a breath of relief and sat back down. Compared to behemoths like Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, their Godwind Academy and the Feng Clan behind it were truly insignificant.

The two began their match on the arena.

Feng Xiaotian grinned at Qian Renxue. "Feng Xiaotian of the Feng Clan in Element City. My Martial Soul is the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf. I am a level 13 Power Attack Type soul master."

A loud wolf howl rang out. A gleaming hundred-year Spirit Ring encircled Feng Xiaotian, who dropped to all fours as an illusory wolf head grew from his neck.

Qian Renxue said blandly, "Qian Renxue of the Qian Clan, Spirit Hall. My Martial Soul is the Six-Winged Angel. I am a level 19 Power Attack Type soul master."

Upon hearing the words "level 19," Feng Xiaotian and every soul master present froze. It shouldn't be possible. Judging by her age, Qian Renxue should have only just awakened her Martial Soul. How could she already be level nineteen? It made no sense!

A yellow Spirit Ring tinged with purple emerged beneath Qian Renxue's feet. Every strand of her hair turned brilliant gold, and the Six-Winged Angel appeared behind her. Unlike before, faint flames now flickered across the Six-Winged Angel's body.

"A Spirit Ring of around Nine Hundred Years? How is that possible?!"

The crowd roared inwardly once more. Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Tang Xiao were all filled with confusion.

Yu Longchen, however, calmed down. With a slight frown, he recalled something. His grandson Yu Xiaogang had once entered Spirit Hall and become a library editor. Later, after getting together with the Saintess of Spirit Hall, he had learned some confidential information, including details about the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. Its Innate Soul Power was said to awaken at level twenty. At first, everyone in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had scoffed at it, believing that such an absurd thing could not exist in the soul master world. Yet seeing Qian Renxue's first Spirit Ring approach Nine Hundred Years and her Soul Power reach level nineteen, he became certain that Yu Xiaogang might have been telling the truth. His memory was simply poor and might have contained some inaccuracies; after all, everyone knew the extent of his talent.

Even with the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, it would be impossible to reach level nineteen at the age of six and absorb a Nine Hundred Years Spirit Ring through training alone. That could only be possible if one's Innate Soul Power exceeded full Soul Power.

Yu Longchen smiled. "Your Holiness the Pope, this old man once heard a rumor. As one of the continent's most powerful Martial Souls, the Six-Winged Angel has Innate Soul Power exceeding level ten. Is that true?"

As soon as those words were spoken, everyone focused their attention on him, their eyes widening. Their first reaction was disbelief, but then they realized that no other answer could explain everything about Qian Renxue.

At this, Qian Xunji's eyes narrowed slightly before he smiled. "Correct. The Six-Winged Angel is a Martial Soul bestowed by Lord Angel God. It is a true God-level Martial Soul, and its Innate Soul Power begins at level ten."

Qian Xunji knew that Bibi Dong had taken Yu Xiaogang to steal a great deal of confidential information about the Qian Clan. He also knew that Yu Xiaogang had learned that the Six-Winged Angel's Innate Soul Power could reach a maximum of level twenty. Yu Longchen's words meant that he knew of the error-riddled material Yu Xiaogang had copied. Rather than letting these cunning old men guess the secret of the Six-Winged Angel, it was better to reveal it openly. It could even earn the God Ancestor another wave of faith. Why not?

With Qian Xunji's confirmation, everyone's faces filled with shock. A God-level Martial Soul, with Innate Soul Power starting at level ten—didn't that mean its upper limit was level twenty? Heavens! And there was the Angel God. They had thought that Level 100 Gods and the Angel God were merely legends, but they actually existed!

Yu Longchen, Ning Fengzhi, and Chen Xin exchanged subtle glances. They felt that their plans for opposing Spirit Hall needed to be redrawn. A Level 100 God was simply unimaginable.

Tang Xiao also felt deeply uneasy. After their ancestor Tang Chen vanished, they had treated Spirit Hall as forbidden ground and ordered that the Clear Sky Sect must never provoke it. For all these years, the Clear Sky Sect's disciples had obeyed that command—except Tang Hao.

Hao's Younger Brother, where are you? You and Sanmei must hide well.

After calming down, Yu Longchen gave Qian Xunji an extremely furtive glance. This time, his gaze lacked the wariness it once held. If Innate Soul Power started at level ten, then Qian Xunji's breakthrough to Title Douluo at fifty meant that the ten-level difference had been made up in three years. Without those ten levels, Qian Xunji should have truly become a Title Douluo at around fifty-three. His talent was only about equal to Tang Xiao's—not all that impressive.

Yu Longchen then turned his gaze to Qian Renxue on the arena and Qian Renhan in the stands. Qian Renxue had only reached level nineteen after absorbing a Nine Hundred Years Spirit Ring. That meant her talent should not be much different from Qian Xunji's. He just did not know how much Innate Soul Power that white-haired boy possessed, though he should be stronger than Qian Renxue. It was only natural for the stronger one to appear later.

Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Tang Xiao's eyes flickered. They had arrived at the same conclusion.

Tang Xiao secretly sighed in relief as well. Fortunately, he had brought the outstanding disciples of this generation, Tang Hu and Tang Long, to broaden their horizons. If he had sent out a Clear Sky Sect disciple who had only just become a soul master, wouldn't that have been asking to be humiliated and allowing Spirit Hall to stand unrivaled?

Yu Longchen had no such concern. This was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, after all. From soul scholars to Title Douluo, it had disciples with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul at every level.

Qian Xunji narrowed his eyes slightly. After returning, he had to warn Yu Xiaogang again. If Yu Xiaogang secretly leaked information about the Angel God Armor as well, he truly did not know whether he should disregard Bibi Dong's desire to die and slap Yu Xiaogang to death.
