The Angel Nine Trials Descend! Martial Soul City Boils! [Seeking Follow-ups]

"Is that so!" Qian Renxue's gaze turned sharp.

"Of course."

The two locked eyes, their gazes clashing.

In this moment, a sense of confrontation took hold!

They had already arrived before the great gates of the Worship Hall.

"Hmph, then we shall see." Qian Renxue let out a cold snort and stepped into the Worship Hall first.

Qian Renxue is a full five years older than me, and her current strength is undoubtedly far above mine.

If she were to suppress me right now, my situation would become extremely difficult. Fortunately, I have two and a half years to develop; I must close the gap in strength between myself and Qian Renxue as quickly as possible within this time.

Otherwise, I fear I will have a rough time when the moment comes. Lin Ye clenched his fists, feeling immense pressure in his heart.

He was indeed a genius, but was Qian Renxue not one as well?

It would be no easy task to close the strength gap with Qian Renxue, but as a transmigrator, he knew what resources existed on this continent that he could utilize.

Lin Ye loosened his clenched fists and followed her into the Worship Hall.

The two walked all the way to where Qian Daoliu stood.

"Grandfather!"

"Teacher!"

Qian Daoliu stood with his back to them and said calmly, "Follow me."

Qian Daoliu led Lin Ye and Qian Renxue toward the core of the Worship Hall, the place where the Angel God's inheritance resided.

It was a brilliant, golden gate.

He pushed the doors open.

The radiance of the angels rushed to meet them.

The three entered.

The space inside was a world of its own, resembling a fairyland.

It was vast, and like a paradise.

Nearly a thousand meters above in this space, there was a massive, flat golden disc.

That appeared to be the place from the original story where Qian Renxue underwent the seventh of the Angel Nine Trials to pull out the divine artifact, the Angel Holy Sword.

The Angel God's divine artifact, the Angel Holy Sword, rested upon that very disc.

For some reason, the moment Lin Ye entered, his martial soul reacted with a strong resonance—a resonance with the Angel divine artifact atop the disc.

It also gave Lin Ye a powerful sensation, as if with a single thought, that Angel Holy Sword would instantly fly toward him!

He gave it a try.

"Sword, come!"

But the divine artifact did not fly over.

Did I overthink it? Heh, that's right, how could an Angel divine artifact be controlled by a one-ring Spirit Master like me? Lin Ye smiled helplessly. But why did I have such a strong feeling?

Lin Ye did not know that when he shouted "Sword, come" in his heart, the Angel Holy Sword, which had been firmly embedded in the disc, suddenly trembled.

Soon, Qian Daoliu brought the two of them before an Angel Statue radiating divine light.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Hu Liena and the other two, who had been severely injured, found Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong frowned. "What is the meaning of this? Who injured you like this?"

Before Hu Liena could answer.

A Spirit Master rushed in from outside the hall. "Reporting to His Holiness the Pope! A letter has arrived from Heaven Dou City—Young Mistress Qian Renxue has abandoned the Heaven Dou Infiltration Plan and returned!"

"What did you say!!"

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's fury soared to the heavens. "Qian Renxue, what is she doing! Who gave her permission to abandon the infiltration plan and return on her own authority!"

"It... it was the Worship Hall!"

"The Worship Hall! A fine Worship Hall indeed! This Seat shall go and ask them why a plan already in motion has been suddenly terminated!"

Bibi Dong rose in anger, preparing to head to the Worship Hall to demand an explanation.

Back at the core of the Angel inheritance.

Qian Daoliu said with a look of yearning, "You are about to begin the Angel Nine Trials for the divine position. Xiaoxue! Disciple! Are you ready?"

"The Angel Nine Trials! Finally, it is about to begin!"

Lin Ye took a deep breath.

Both of them were filled with excitement, and they spoke almost in unison, "We are ready!"

"Good, then let us begin!" Qian Daoliu said, looking toward the Angel Statue with devout faith. He spread his hands and declared, "O, Great Angel God!"

"I beseech you, descend and bestow your trials upon them!"

In that instant, a golden light erupted from the bodies of Lin Ye and Qian Renxue simultaneously!

Two pillars of golden light shot straight into the sky, piercing through the clouds!

BOOM!

Immediately following, nine curtains of light descended from the clouds high above, enveloping both Lin Ye and Qian Renxue within them.

A colossal phantom of the Angel God also manifested in the sky above the Worship Hall.

The two rising pillars of golden light, the nine descending curtains of light.

And the clearly visible phantom of the Angel God.

"Everyone, look! What... what is that!"

At this moment, the entire Pope Palace and the whole of Martial Soul City were stirred!

The entire city was in an uproar, boiling with excitement!

Everyone in Martial Soul City, every soul master, stared in shock toward the direction of the Worship Hall.

"That is... the Angel God!"

"It is the Angel God!"

"Oh, great Angel God!!"

A vast number of soul masters in the Pope Palace and the common folk in Martial Soul City dropped whatever they were doing, falling to their knees, bowing their heads, and prostrating in absolute, pious submission.

Some soul masters familiar with the history of Martial Soul Hall already realized that the Six-Winged Angel clan was likely about to produce a successor to the Angel God!

Bibi Dong, who had just rushed out of the main hall, froze in place, her expression turning incredibly ugly and gloomy: "The Angel Nine Trials?"

"The Six-Winged Angel clan has been passed down for ten thousand years, yet the one qualified to inherit the Angel God Position is actually Qian Renxue, my daughter!"

"Heh! Heh-hahahaha!" Bibi Dong laughed maniacally, her laughter filled with irony.

But soon, she realized something: "No, there were two beams of light that shot into the sky just now!"

"Could it be...!"

Others might not have expected that two successors were being granted the Nine Trials simultaneously, but Bibi Dong, herself a successor to the Rakshasa God, saw it clearly.

She suddenly recalled Lin Ye, who had awakened with Innate Full Soul Power some time ago and had been taken in as a personal disciple by Qian Daoliu...

"It's that child! The child taken in as a personal disciple by Qian Daoliu is also a successor to the Angel God!!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena felt as if she could no longer bear it: "Teacher, what are you saying... Lin Ye... Lin Ye is a successor to a god??"

"A successor to a god... He is an existence that can become a god!?" Hu Liena, already filled with extreme regret, completely broke down, appearing as if she were losing her sanity: "A successor to a god... Heh, heh-haha, it hurts! It hurts so much, ahhh!"

"Pfft, ugh-ahhh!~"

The next second, Hu Liena could not take it anymore; she vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot and fainted.

"Nana!!"

Bibi Dong glared at the Worship Hall with immense resentment: "Qian Daoliu! Worship Hall, do not think that just because Qian Renxue has become a successor to the Angel God, I, Bibi Dong, will not destroy your Six-Winged Angel clan!"

"I will not only destroy your clan! I will also destroy Qian Renxue! I will destroy your disciple! None of them shall ever inherit the Angel God Position!!"

At this moment, the nine curtains of light swirled around Lin Ye and Qian Renxue.

An angel mark appeared between their brows, the symbol of a god's successor.

Lin Ye and Qian Renxue had been officially granted the Angel Nine Trials!

Soon, a card appeared before their eyes.

The card detailed the content of their first trial.
