Qian Daoliu felt a sense of guilt regarding the unfortunate circumstances of his grandson, Qian Renyu, and he also harbored a deep, doting affection for him, as if he saw the shadow of Qian Xunji in the boy.
In short, he treated Qian Renyu exceptionally well.
To what extent? Even Guangling Douluo had fallen out of favor.
Guangling Douluo seemed to realize that it was he himself who had taken the initiative to bring the Great Elder Qian Daoliu's eldest grandson back.
He had originally intended to cast a brick to attract jade; the brick cast was the grandson Qian Renyu, and the jade he hoped to attract was, naturally, the freedom for him, Guangling Douluo, to go out and play.
Unexpectedly, whenever he, Guangling Douluo, proposed wanting to go out and play, the other five elders would always say in unison: "Yuer was brought back by you; how can you abandon him? It is not good to be fickle and abandon someone." Alas, he had lifted a rock only to drop it on his own feet.
However, he, Guangling Douluo, did not regret it. The seven great elders in the Worship Hall had cultivated and lived together for decades, and their bond was extremely deep. He was also sincerely happy for his eldest brother, Qian Daoliu—though, of course, he would be even happier if his eldest brother would let him go out and play.
Just like that, Qian Renyu lived under the care of everyone for two years, and he reached the age of six.
Six years old held extraordinary significance for people on the Douluo Continent. Because six years old was the time for the martial soul awakening.
As for his own martial soul, Qian Renyu was not worried. Because he knew he had been brought back to Martial Soul Hall by Guangling Douluo precisely because of the aura of an angel, so his martial soul was nine times out of ten the Six-Winged Angel.
What he worried about was his Innate Soul Power. His sister, Qian Renxue, had an Innate Soul Power of a full twenty levels, the child of destiny Tang San was also an existence with Innate Full Soul Power (although it was possible Tang San's Innate Full Soul Power was cultivated using the Mysterious Heaven Skill before his martial soul awakened), the food-type Oscar was also Innate Full Soul Power, and the support-type Ning Rongrong also possessed an Innate Soul Power of level nine.
As for the theoretically invincible Master Yu Xiaogang, he was not worth mentioning.

Inside the Worship Hall.
Golden Crocodile Douluo personally conducted the martial soul awakening for Qian Renyu.
On ordinary days, there were specialized people responsible for the martial soul awakening of the descendants of the Worship Hall, but today, the one undergoing the awakening was none other than the grandson of the former Pope of Martial Soul Hall, the Judgment Elder, the Great Elder of the Worship Hall, the level ninety-nine peerless Douluo known as the invincible of the sky, Qian Daoliu. Naturally, Golden Crocodile Douluo had to do it; how could an ordinary person have such an opportunity?
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward: Twin Martial Souls, Qingshuang Sword and Six-Winged Angel, Innate Full Soul Power of level twenty. And you are unaffected by the backlash of Twin Martial Souls."
The system was powerful indeed.
"Six-Winged Angel, it really is the Six-Winged Angel." As Golden Crocodile Douluo began the martial soul awakening ceremony, a refreshing, spring-like holy light of the angel enveloped the Worship Hall.
"Excellent, the Six-Winged Angel is the inheritance martial soul of our Qian family. Yuer, measure your Innate Soul Power again."
"Grandfather, I have another martial soul."
What? Qian Daoliu was truly shocked. The Six-Winged Angel was a god-level martial soul; what martial soul could possibly stand side-by-side with it?
Suddenly, the sky was filled with auspicious colors for thousands of miles, celestial music played, and fragrant smoke swirled, permeating the earth.
Afterward, a scholar wrote a poem about this strange phenomenon, as follows:
Auspicious clouds thirty thousand feet high above, the whole body surrounded by rosy clouds and colorful mist.
White cranes and green phoenixes lead the way, followed by vermilion phoenixes dancing in fairy robes.
Feather fans part the clouds and mist, fairy boys on left and right play the jade flute.
Yellow-turbaned warriors obey the decree, as crowds of immortals follow in the rolling incense smoke.
Auspicious clouds thirty thousand feet high above, the whole body surrounded by rosy clouds and colorful mist.
----(Excerpted from Investiture of the Gods)
Only to see auspicious clouds appearing around Qian Renyu, and a long sword leaping out from the clouds—this was Qian Renyu's other martial soul, the Qingshuang Sword.
In the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng, it is said: "Purple lightning and green frost, the armory of General Wang."
Purple Lightning was the sword of Sun Quan, the Great Emperor of Eastern Wu, while Qingshuang was the sword of Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han.
This Qingshuang Sword was just a little bit aggrieved to be a twin martial soul alongside the Six-Winged Angel.

Seven Treasure City, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The guardian Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the level ninety-six Title Douluo Sword Douluo Chen Xin, suddenly felt his martial soul, the Seven Kill Sword, submitting and trembling in fear. It was the kind of feeling where the light of a firefly dares not compete with the sun and moon, and he himself could not help but want to kneel.
"Uncle Sword, what is wrong?" The Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi, asked after seeing the abnormality of Sword Douluo.
"I do not know what is happening, but my martial soul is actually trembling in submission."
"Is it related to the strange phenomenon in Martial Soul City just now?"
"I hope not." Bone Douluo Gu Rong, who was standing to the side, said slowly.
Holy Soul Village.
A disheveled, bearded middle-aged man was forging iron. Seeing the strange phenomenon in Martial Soul City, he clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and said: "Martial Soul Hall, what a fine Martial Soul Hall."
Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City, Wind Sword Sect.
At this moment, all the disciples of the Wind Sword Sect were kneeling on the ground. The Sect Master, Feng Bailong, was barely able to remain half-kneeling. Once things returned to normal, Feng Bailong immediately spoke: "Someone, prepare generous gifts, and follow me to Martial Soul City."
Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City.
After seeing the strange phenomenon in Martial Soul City, Emperor Xue Ye actually spat out a mouthful of blood, then ordered: "Someone, quickly summon all the ministers to the palace for a meeting."
Qian Renxue, who was disguised as the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, appeared very happy after seeing the strange phenomenon in Martial Soul City. Qian Daoliu had naturally written to her about Qian Renyu. She had lost her father at a young age, and her mother detested her to the extreme, so she was very happy to have a younger brother. She thought to herself: My brother should be six years old this year; I imagine he is awakening his martial soul.
Seeing Qian Renxue's happy expression, Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo, who were by her side, also felt very happy.
Sea God Island
Upon seeing the strange phenomenon over Martial Soul City, a stunningly beautiful woman furrowed her brows. The five men and one woman behind her also wore grave expressions. The beautiful woman slowly walked toward the seashore, glanced back at Sea God Hall, then looked toward the direction of the Clear Sky Sect before murmuring toward Martial Soul City, "Qian Daoliu, I hope you do not lead yourself astray."
Martial Soul City, Worship Hall
Qian Daoliu could not help but ask, "Yu, what is the name of this martial soul of yours?"
"Qingshuang Sword."
"Qingshuang Sword, excellent. This martial soul is by no means inferior to the Six-Winged Angel."
In truth, Qian Daoliu was also trying to salvage some face for the Six-Winged Angel, as his own martial soul had just genuinely submitted to it.
"Yu, test your soul power again."
"Innate Full Soul Power, level twenty."
As for why the crystal ball used to test soul power did not shatter, it was because with Qian Renxue's experience as a precedent and such a strange phenomenon following it, Golden Crocodile Douluo had cast aside the crystal ball with a ten-level capacity and used one with a twenty-level capacity directly.
At this moment, everyone in the Worship Hall wore smiles on their faces. A twin god-level martial soul and Innate Full Soul Power of level twenty—Martial Soul Hall is destined to flourish.
