"Spirit Skill: Angel Shield. The wings behind her fold forward to form a giant shield, blocking physical and Soul Power attacks and purifying dark energy." Qian Daoliu answered without a second thought.
"Grandpa?" Qian Renxue had been about to show off in front of Qian Yu, only for Qian Daoliu to expose her without mercy. She glared at him, annoyed.
"Hmph?" Qian Renxue gave an indignant huff. "How boring. Then guess what level my Soul Power has reached."
"Hmm?" As a Limit Douluo, Qian Daoliu pretended not to be able to see through Qian Renxue's Soul Power.
"Level 22." As she spoke, Qian Renxue flashed Qian Daoliu a victory sign.
Then she turned to Qian Yu with a big smile.
"As expected of a god-level Martial Soul." Qian Yu couldn't help marveling at its power. She'd gone straight from level 20 to level 22, saving herself who knew how much time spent in hard training.
Seeing that both Qian Renxue and Qian Yu had reaped a full harvest from the trip, Qian Daoliu glanced at Jin Guang dangling from his hand. Then he swept his arm out and led everyone back to the Worship Hall.
Back at the Worship Hall.
Qian Yu soon returned to his dull routine: training and studying during the day, and telling Qian Renxue stories at night. Meanwhile, Golden Crocodile Douluo had taken Jin Guang to obtain his First Soul Ring.
Since Qian Yu and Qian Renxue both had Innate Full Soul Power, the Worship Hall arranged for them to study separately to keep their abilities secret. They weren't sent to the Spirit Hall's own Soul Master Academy. Jin Guang, on the other hand, had been enrolled at the Spirit Hall's Soul Master Academy early on.
Time flew by in the blink of an eye.
Two years passed in an instant, and Qian Yu turned eight. His Soul Power reached an astonishing level 20.
To reach an astonishing level 20 in just two short years— even Qian Daoliu couldn't help marveling at Qian Yu's talent, his overwhelming explosive power, and his astonishing cultivation speed.
Still, compared with Qian Renxue's outrageous Innate level 20 Soul Power, his progress was a little slower. By now, Qian Renxue had already reached the astonishing level 30, the Soul Elder realm.
"Grandpa, Qian Yu and I both broke through. Aren't we amazing?" Qian Renxue ran over to Qian Daoliu early and cuddled up to him.
"Oh, not bad, not bad." Hearing that his grandson and granddaughter had broken through an entire major realm in just two years, Qian Daoliu felt a deep swell of pride.
"Then let Grandpa see how strong you've become after your breakthroughs." Qian Daoliu wanted to test them and see whether they'd focused only on cultivating Soul Power and forgotten to learn how to fight.
"Ah, Grandpa, you're a Limit Douluo! Qian Yu and I are just a little Soul Elder and a little Soul Grandmaster. How could we possibly beat you?" At Qian Daoliu's unreasonable demand, Qian Renxue immediately stepped forward and tugged at his beard.
"Heh, heh, ow, ow, my good granddaughter. Grandpa didn't explain properly. I'll limit my cultivation to level 30. Besides, don't you have that thing?" Faced with his fiery granddaughter, Qian Daoliu felt completely outmatched and hurriedly begged for mercy.
"That's more like it. Qian Yu, let's use that thing and teach this old man a good, hard lesson." Satisfied with his answer, Qian Renxue immediately resumed her elegant, refined-lady demeanor.
She went over to Qian Yu, putting some distance between herself and Qian Daoliu. The fight was about to begin.
"Grandpa, you have to go easy on us, okay?" Qian Renxue and Qian Yu first used their Spirit Skills separately.
"Second Spirit Skill: Angel Shield." Qian Renxue's defense and speed both increased dramatically.
Next, she unleashed her "First Spirit Skill—Angel Assault," charging forward to meet Qian Daoliu head-on.
Qian Daoliu used the same Spirit Skills: "Angel Shield, Angel Assault." With a single blow, he sent Qian Renxue flying.
"Grandpa, that's cheating! You have a Spirit Bone, and your strength is incredible," Qian Renxue said, still refusing to admit defeat.
But her body was already darting toward Qian Yu.
Qian Yu, meanwhile, searched for an opening on the ground.
Qian Daoliu truly was a Limit Douluo.
His extraordinary perception made him feel an immense sense of danger from Qian Yu's Desert Eagle.
After all, seven steps away, a gun was faster; within seven steps, a gun was faster and more accurate.
But Qian Daoliu was curious by nature, and in the end, curiosity got the better of him. He actually charged straight at Qian Yu.
"Qian Yu, watch out!"
"Bring it on." Qian Yu wasn't the least bit flustered.
"First Spirit Skill—Golden Armor Reinforcement." The Desert Eagle's power increased by 30%, while Qian Yu's physical defense increased by 40%.
A terrifying gleam burst from the Desert Eagle.
Just as Qian Daoliu was about to close in, Qian Yu fired twice at him. "Bang! Bang!"
Terrifying flashes of gunfire tore through the sky. Just as they were about to hit Qian Daoliu—
Qian Daoliu unleashed the power of a Limit Douluo and instantly used his Second Spirit Skill: "Angel Shield." His enormous angel wings wrapped around his body.
The flashes struck the Angel Wings.
The immense impact sent Qian Daoliu hurtling backward.
"What terrifying attack power." Qian Daoliu steadied himself as he flew backward. "Xiao Yu, that attack already has the power of a Soul Elder."
Qian Daoliu couldn't help praising him.
"As expected of a Limit Douluo. What a quick reaction." Seeing Qian Daoliu defend himself in an instant, Qian Yu couldn't help marveling too.
Although his attack was powerful, he was at a huge disadvantage against an opponent with astonishing defense and uncanny speed.
While Qian Yu and Qian Daoliu were momentarily stunned—
Qian Renxue immediately swooped in and lifted Qian Yu into her arms. They rose into the air, met each other's gaze, and interlocked their fingers.
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Sacred Radiance Hunter Blade!"
The Soul Power of a level 30 Soul Elder instantly filled the golden Desert Eagle. Its terrifying explosive power surged toward the stunned Qian Daoliu.
"Rumble!" The bullet ripped through the sky and raced toward Qian Daoliu.
"Good!" Qian Daoliu wanted to test the power of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill as well.
He neither dodged nor evaded, facing the bullet head-on.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" Five shots rang out. The two gave it everything they had, instantly draining five-sevenths of Qian Renxue's Soul Power and all of Qian Yu's. The bullets struck the Angel Wings, triggering a violent explosion. It wasn't just one blast; explosions followed one after another, piling up in layers.
"Explosion Stacking!" The result was a terrifying fivefold explosive force.
Qian Daoliu hadn't expected Qian Yu's attack power to stack, so he stopped holding back and released the limits on his power to face the terrifying strike.
The enormous explosion unleashed a terrifying shock wave, loud enough to be heard by the neighboring Spirit Hall.
The nearby Pope Palace in the Spirit Hall.
"Yue Guan, go see what the Worship Hall is up to. Why are they making such a racket in broad daylight?" A noble, beautiful woman who looked a lot like Qian Renxue ordered someone.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Yue Guan bowed slightly, then vanished.
At Qian Yu and Qian Daoliu's location.
The terrifying blast sent Qian Daoliu's house flying.
When the explosion subsided, Qian Daoliu's Angel Wings were in tatters, and he was covered in dust.
In the end, he'd only just managed to stabilize the situation by unleashing the power of a Limit Douluo.
"Grandpa, you lost." Qian Renxue had used her Angel Wings to wrap around Qian Yu. They were in an extremely intimate pose, Qian Yu curled up in her arms, his face deathly pale and cold sweat pouring from his forehead.
"Qian Yu, what's wrong?" Qian Renxue was the first to notice something was off.
She saw white light continuously pouring from Qian Yu's forehead.
