In the Ice God Secret Realm, inside the newly built Angel Temple.
Out of respect for the Angel God and their family's faith, Qian Wuyou had arranged for people to build a new Angel Temple beside the Ice God Temple.
After all, the blood of the Angel God flowed through all of them. They couldn't forget their roots—not even their own ancestor, the Angel God, could they?
Qian Wuyou looked at the newly built Angel Statue and felt that something was missing.
"This Angel Statue has the right appearance, but no divine power at all..."
"Uh..."
At his words, the other clan members exchanged glances.
This wasn't Spirit City or the Angel Family. Of course, the Angel Statue they had just built wouldn't possess divine power!
If just putting up an Angel Statue could produce faith and divine power, then the Angel Family would have used that power of faith to unify the entire Douluo Continent long ago.
"Ahem, ahem! Patriarch, may we ask why you called us to the Angel Temple? Is there something you wish to instruct us to do?"
No one spoke. They merely looked silently at Qian Wuyou.
They had been cultivating at home when they suddenly received a notice to attend a meeting at the Angel Temple.
"Everyone, next up is the division of the spoils..."
"Bah! That came out wrong!"
"Everyone, it's time to reward merit!"
Looking at the clan members filling the seats on both sides, Qian Wuyou nodded in satisfaction.
Every clan member summoned to the meeting at the Angel Holy Palace had taken pills refined from Immortal Herbs, successfully evolved their Angel Martial Soul, and reached the strength of an 80th-level Soul Douluo.
Apart from Qian Wulu, the chief steward, and the sisters Tianzhen and Wuxie, there were ten men and ten women present—a total of twenty Angel clan members with Four-Winged Angel Martial Souls.
The ten female Angel clan members were the same ones who had followed Qian Wuyou to Heaven Dou City to cause a stir.
The other ten, all men, had recently helped settle the rest of the clan in the Ice God Secret Realm. They had only reached their current Soul Power Levels in the past couple of days.
For that, Qian Wuyou had also spent some time filling in their missing Eighth Soul Rings.
On top of that, he had given them the Life Contract, the second layer of the Twelve-Winged Angel Martial Soul.
Now, these twenty Angel clan members with Four-Winged Angel Martial Souls had all become Eight-Ring Soul Douluos. They were the core combatants of their Radical Faction.
"Everyone, according to the clan rules I laid down, you should all know the most fundamental one: merit must be rewarded, and transgressions punished."
"You must have all seen how much Tianzhen and Wuxie have done for us lately. So I've decided to fill in all the missing Soul Bones they need."
At Qian Wuyou's words, everyone present nodded.
"Mm! Exactly! The Patriarch is right!"
The entire clan had seen how much Tianzhen and Wuxie had done lately.
First, they had braved the immense pressure of Qian Daoliu, a Level 99 Peerless Douluo, and mobilized people to evacuate Spirit City right under Bibi Dong's nose.
After arriving at the Ice God Secret Realm, Tianzhen and Wuxie had bustled about, taking care of everything from food to the daily needs of the whole clan.
Then the sisters had followed their Patriarch, Qian Wuyou, to Heaven Dou City and fought Tang Hao, that butcher, at Shrek Academy. They had even discovered Tang Hao's son, Tang San.
Tang San had Innate Full Soul Power and was the third person in the history of the continent to possess Twin Martial Souls. One was Blue Silver Grass, which had yet to awaken its imperial bloodline; the other was the Clear Sky Sect's inherited Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer.
After learning the details about Tang San, they had to admit that he was a highly promising enemy.
Fortunately, their Patriarch had disrupted Tang Hao's plans and forcibly controlled the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast named Xiao Wu, making her sacrifice herself to become Qian Wulu's sixth Soul Ring.
When they later left Heaven Dou City, their Patriarch, Qian Wuyou, had dealt a heavy blow to the father and son, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and even the entire city.
The only pity was that all the members of their Radical Faction were currently staying in the Ice God Secret Realm, so they had no idea what had happened in Heaven Dou City since.
"Good!"
"Since no one objects, after the meeting, Tianzhen and Wuxie, come with me to the Clan Treasury and choose Soul Bones suited to your Martial Soul attributes..."
When Qian Wuyou finished speaking, Tianzhen and Wuxie, seated in the two places at the ends of the front row, both stood and bowed respectfully.
"Yes, Patriarch! We're grateful for the clan's support!"
Tianzhen and Wuxie knew that their younger sister-in-law status had worked in their favor.
Otherwise, their contributions over this period wouldn't have been worth such a generous reward from Qian Wuyou.
Just look at Yue Guan and Gui Mei, the two Titled Douluo elders. They had worked diligently for Spirit Hall for decades and hadn't even been awarded a single Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.
That showed just how precious a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone was—and how much Qian Wuyou trusted and looked after the sisters.
Yue Guan: "Boo-hoo! I'm so jealous, I'm about to split apart at the molecular level..."
Gui Mei: "Are you still recruiting? We'd be willing to switch sides!"
Qian Wuyou hadn't given much thought to how touched Tianzhen and Wuxie were.
To him, resources were meant to be used.
The vast trove of resources they had seized from Heaven Dou City was just sitting in the Clan Treasury in the Ice God Secret Realm. It made far more sense to let their Radical Faction use them to raise their Soul Power Levels and combat strength.
After all, building up a clan wasn't something he could do all by himself.
Besides, their Radical Faction was still far too weak.
Other than him, a Level 96 Peak Douluo, not a single person in the clan had reached the Titled Douluo level. The only thing they had to show for themselves was the sisters' Angel Fusion Technique—Six-Winged Elemental Angel.
How could a branch of the Angel Family, one with a divine inheritance, let the world look down on them?
Especially that woman, Bibi Dong.
With their current strength, they couldn't just pick a fight with her.
When facing Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo elders, he couldn't exactly have their Patriarch fight them himself, could he?
Nor could he have Tianzhen and Wuxie take on the entire Elder Palace's Titled Douluos by themselves, could he?
One against nine?
That wasn't realistic either!
So, giving the clan's elite his full support and raising Titled Douluos in batches was Qian Wuyou's most important—and most urgent—plan.
Apart from Tianzhen and Wuxie, the twenty clan members present were the ones Qian Wuyou had chosen to cultivate most intensively.
"All right!"
"That's enough about Tianzhen and Wuxie. Now it's your turn!"
Qian Wuyou looked at the other twenty Angel clan members and rubbed his chin, deep in thought.
How could he help them quickly break through from level 82 Soul Douluos to Titled Douluos?
