Qian Xunji Awakens, Bibi Dong Makes Her Move

As Ao Zhan poured Life energy into Qian Xunji's body, he discovered a trace of crimson energy hidden within Qian Xunji's dantian.

The energy was of extremely high quality, far surpassing Soul Power. It lay entrenched in Qian Xunji's dantian, suppressing his Soul Power and preventing him from waking.

"Asura Divine Power."

Ao Zhan recognized it at once. It was Asura Divine Power, the true culprit behind Qian Xunji's prolonged unconsciousness.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, even if his martial soul had been damaged, Qian Xunji's level 95 cultivation and Qian Daoliu's infusion of Soul Power would not have left him unconscious for so long.

Qian Daoliu had failed to notice it earlier because this energy merely suppressed Qian Xunji's Soul Power without causing any other harm to his body. It was also deeply concealed and did not resist external Soul Power, so it would not retaliate even when a healing soul master's healing skills or Qian Daoliu's Soul Power passed through it.

Ao Zhan had been able to detect it because the healing skills of a healing soul master were essentially Soul Power mixed with the power of life, while what he released was pure Life energy, without any Soul Power. Only then had he discovered the Asura Divine Power.

Of course, Qian Daoliu could have discovered it if he had used Angel Divine Power, but he would not casually expend such precious Angel Divine Power.

It seemed the Asura God had not wanted anyone to discover this strand of Asura Divine Power, making it unusually passive. It put up no resistance at all against Ao Zhan's Life energy and was easily dealt with.

After resolving the Asura Divine Power, the true culprit, Ao Zhan guided Life energy through Qian Xunji's meridians for a full great circulation. This time, Qian Xunji woke up.

Qian Renxue and the others were overjoyed at the sight.

"Dad, you're awake!"

"Ji'er, how do you feel?"

Qian Daoliu and the others stepped forward and asked with concern.

"I feel very weak. My limbs are powerless, and the Soul Power within me no longer feels as vast as it once did."

Qian Xunji's face remained rather pale, prompting Qian Daoliu to examine him again with his spiritual power.

Ao Zhan also knew what was going on. He had only removed the Asura Divine Power and healed some of Qian Xunji's old hidden injuries; he had not restored his martial soul.

It was not that Ao Zhan did not want to. Repairing a martial soul could not be done with Life energy alone. It was an injury to the mind and soul, and restoring it required divine power or high-level energy related to the soul.

Qian Daoliu could do it, as he possessed Angel Divine Power.

However, it would still take a long time, because cultivating Angel Divine Power was difficult for Qian Daoliu. He could only infuse a small amount into Qian Xunji each day.

The main reason was that the Angel God had fallen. Otherwise, Qian Daoliu would not have found it so difficult to cultivate Angel Divine Power.

"The reason you are still like this is because your martial soul is damaged. It can be repaired using Angel Divine Power, but I do not have much Angel Divine Power to spare, and I must prepare to open the God Trial for Xue'er. Therefore, I can only use a little each day. For the rest, you must rely on yourself. Above all, do not fly into a rage or use Soul Power." Qian Daoliu said as he released his wrist.

"I understand, Father." Qian Xunji nodded.

He could still distinguish what mattered most. Compared with opening the God Trial for Qian Renxue, his own injuries could wait.

Besides, even without him, the Pope's combat strength, Spirit Hall still had the worshippers. Losing one man for the time being would not matter much.

"Then rest here for now."

After infusing some Angel Divine Power into Qian Xunji, Qian Daoliu left with the worshippers.

Qian Renxue leaned over Qian Xunji's bed and looked at him. "Dad, you have to get better soon!"

"I know, Xue'er. Go back and sleep with Xiao Zhan." Qian Xunji forced a smile.

The next day, news of Pope Qian Xunji's awakening spread throughout Spirit Hall, calming the unsettled hearts of everyone within it.

However, because Qian Xunji had yet to recover from his severe injuries, all affairs were temporarily taken over by the worshippers.

Everyone in Spirit Hall breathed a sigh of relief—except for one person, who gritted her teeth in secret.

"Damn it! How is that beast Qian Xunji so hard to kill?! And that useless Tang Hao—why didn't he smash him to death with one hammer?!"

Within the Saintess Palace, Bibi Dong struck the table in fury, producing a loud bang.

Her furious gaze turned toward the Pope Palace.

The previous night, she had been thrilled when she learned that Qian Xunji was severely injured and unconscious, believing he was about to die. Yet today, she received news that Qian Xunji had actually awakened.

Was this not just toying with her?!

"This is an excellent opportunity!"

Suddenly, a cold voice brimming with temptation rang out. It was the Rakshasa Divine Will within Bibi Dong's body!

Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?"

"Hehe, this is a truly perfect opportunity. Qian Xunji is at his weakest right now. You can take this chance to kill and devour him. That would not only avenge you, but also allow you to complete the first trial of the Rakshasa God Trial."

Bibi Dong's eyes lit up.

The Rakshasa Divine Will was right. Once this chance passed, it would be gone. Qian Xunji had not easily suffered such grave injuries—was this not the perfect time for her to act?!

"Moreover, you must act quickly. You should know whose help allowed Qian Xunji to awaken, right?"

"Of course." A chill flashed through Bibi Dong's eyes.

Qian Xunji's awakening had much to do with Ao Zhan. Qian Daoliu and the others had not deliberately suppressed the news, so Bibi Dong naturally knew about it.

She remembered the force of that punch perfectly. That brat had hit exceptionally hard. Moreover, her precious disciple Hu Liena had later been beaten up by Ao Zhan, and afterward, she behaved like a mouse that had seen a cat whenever she saw him.

She simply had not expected that fellow with terrifying combat power could also heal others!

"Therefore, you must act quickly. If Qian Xunji recovers with that boy's help, you may never find such an opportunity for revenge again. You will not be able to complete the Rakshasa God Trial, nor will you be able to clear the name of your beloved Xiaogang."

"Xiaogang!"

At the mention of that name, Bibi Dong's eyes reddened.

What had she done all this for?

Besides revenge, it was naturally to clear Yu Xiaogang's name and make him acknowledged by the entire Douluo Continent.

To do that, she had to become a god. Only then could she possess the overwhelming power to dominate this world. No one would dare oppose her, and no one would dare call Yu Xiaogang trash.

Bibi Dong made up her mind. She would act tonight!

After all, this matter could not be delayed. She did not know whether Spirit Hall, which had dominated the Douluo Continent for so many years, possessed any miraculous healing medicine.

Although she was the Martial Soul Hall Saintess, and Qian Xunji had treated her as his own daughter before that incident, if the Qian Clan possessed some secret treasury or the like, they would likely keep it hidden from her.

To avoid unforeseen complications, she had to strike quickly!
