"Hee-hee-hee!"
"Congratulations to both elder sisters on successfully breaking through to Titled Douluo!"
Unlike her little uncle Qian Wuyou, Qian Wulu preferred to call the sisters Tianzhen and Wuxie "elder sisters."
Qian Wuyou called Tianzhen and Wuxie "little aunts" mainly to remind them of their awkward relationship and familial bond, making it clear that he wasn't considering marrying them.
"Little Wuyou, little Wulu, thank you for your blessings!"
"It's just that, when the time comes, we'll have to trouble you with our Ninth Soul Rings, little Wuyou..."
Tianzhen and Wuxie weren't fools. They'd naturally understood what Qian Wuyou meant.
It would've been a lie to say they didn't like their nephew, who wasn't related to them by blood and was so outstanding.
But unfortunately—one loved while the other remained unmoved.
They liked Qian Wuyou, but he regarded them only as his closest family.
Qian Wuyou could see the disappointment in Tianzhen and Wuxie's eyes as clear as day.
Since he wasn't considering marrying them, he had to make that clear as soon as possible. He couldn't let the two sisters' best years slip away.
So—Qian Wuyou forcibly changed the subject.
"Mm! Little aunt! Leave the matter of your Ninth Soul Rings to me!"
Once Tianzhen and Wuxie had their Ninth Soul Rings, they'd be bona fide Titled Douluo.
Their breakthroughs meant the Radical Faction had gained two more fighters at the level of Titled Douluo.
And if their Angel Fusion Technique—the Six-Winged Elemental Angel—was included, the two sisters' strength would be even more terrifying.
By his estimate, Tianzhen and Wuxie's Angel Fusion Technique—the Six-Winged Elemental Angel—would conservatively have the strength of a Level 97 Peak Douluo.
Even against a Level 98 Peak Douluo, the two sisters probably wouldn't have any trouble.
It was no exaggeration to say that the three of them alone could already crush Spirit Hall's nine Titled Douluo elders.
Even the six worshippers, all Peak Douluo, probably wouldn't be a match for the Radical Faction.
Across the entire continent, only Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu themselves could stand against them.
Oh! No, that wasn't right!
There was also the half-dead King of Slaughter, Tang Chen.
The reason Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, and Tang Chen could threaten the Radical Faction was that they were all connected to Deities and could use divine power.
Qian Wuyou himself was easy enough to deal with. As long as Douluo Planet wasn't destroyed, he'd remain ageless, immortal, and indestructible.
Even if Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, and Tang Chen could use divine power to grievously wound him, the only way to kill him, Qian Wuyou, was to destroy the entire Douluo Planet.
But it was different for those who'd made contracts!
Take Qian Wulu and Tianzhen and Wuxie, who'd signed second-layer Life Contracts. They were merely ageless, immortal, and indestructible—it didn't mean they couldn't be killed.
Divine power was still highly lethal and dangerous to them. If they were killed by divine power, they'd be done for, once and for all.
After returning to the Angel Temple, Qian Wuyou looked at Tianzhen and Wuxie and slowly began to speak.
"Little aunts, I have a few suggestions about choosing your Ninth Soul Rings. Have a look and see what you think?"
At his words, the three women present turned curious eyes toward him.
"Mm! Go on, little Wuyou!"
Qian Wuyou nodded and slowly laid out his plan.
"Little aunts, for your Ninth Soul Rings, I suggest the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python in the Star Dou Great Forest..."
"Although the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python aren't ice- or fire-attribute Soul Beasts, they're genuine Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts."
"As long as you absorb the Titan Giant Ape's and the Sky Azure Bull Python's Soul Rings, your Ninth Soul Rings will grant you two powerful Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skills..."
A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was guaranteed to produce a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone were guaranteed to produce two Soul Ring and Soul Bone Skills.
It was no exaggeration to say that the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings dropped by the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python would grant Tianzhen and Wuxie two powerful Soul Skills.
By comparison, that was far better than hunting Soul Beasts suited to the Ultimate Attributes of their Four-Winged Ice Angel and Four-Winged Seraph Martial Souls, but which hadn't reached the Hundred-Thousand-Year level.
The reason Qian Wuyou had chosen to hunt the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, the two beast kings, was naturally because of Bibi Dong and that little scumbag God King Tang.
Whether it was Bibi Dong's second phase of the Soul Hunting plan in the Star Dou Great Forest in the original story, or the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python eventually sacrificing themselves to that little scumbag God King Tang, he didn't want to let Bibi Dong and Tang San benefit for nothing.
By hunting the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, Tianzhen and Wuxie could each obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, while even his younger sister, Qian Wulu, could obtain two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones.
He'd also get to disgust that crazy woman Bibi Dong and even cut off Tang San's future chance to become a god.
It was an opportunity with so many benefits. There was no reason for him, Qian Wuyou, to let it pass!
Titan Giant Ape: "Oh no! They're coming for us!"
Sky Azure Bull Python: "Damn humans! Are Soul Beasts really meant to die?"
Qian Wuyou: "I can't be bothered to reason with you. You're not fit to listen!"
"H-Hunt the hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python?"
Qian Wuyou's plan left Qian Wulu and the two sisters, Tianzhen and Wuxie, dumbfounded.
Well, well! Would you look at that!
You wanted to hunt two hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts with Peak Douluo-level strength at the same time—were you serious? Weren't you afraid the whole thing would go sideways?
"Little Wuyou, are you absolutely sure?"
Tianzhen and Wuxie drew a deep breath and looked at Qian Wuyou with some concern.
They weren't worried about being killed by the Titan Giant Ape or the Sky Azure Bull Python. After all, all of them were contract holders, ageless, immortal, and indestructible.
No matter how powerful the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python were, they couldn't possibly possess, let alone use, divine power.
Their only concern was that hunting the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python at the same time might bring about unforeseen factors and cause their plan to fail.
Though they were ageless, immortal, and indestructible, they still didn't want the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python to crush and torment them at will.
After all, when contract holders were killed, neither the grievous injuries to their bodies nor the pain in their souls was reduced in the slightest. Pain was pain; the immortality granted by their contracts wouldn't lessen it.
"Heh! Little aunts, don't worry!"
"Those puny Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python? I can handle them however I please!"
Qian Wuyou chuckled softly and settled the matter then and there.
"Fine! Then for our Ninth Soul Rings—we'll choose the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python!"
Tianzhen and Wuxie nodded, agreeing to Qian Wuyou's arrangement.
