Qian Renxue's Kiss! Lin Ye, the Worship Elders' Overall Strength Greatly Increases

After giving the Immortal Herbs to the elders of the Worship Hall, Lin Ye turned his gaze toward Qian Renxue.

He had originally not intended to give Qian Renxue an Immortal Herb; giving her one would undoubtedly make his own competitor even stronger.

However, after spending time together recently, he could clearly feel that Qian Renxue had not only dropped her hostility toward him but that her attitude had undergone a significant shift. In reality, they had already entered a state of healthy competition.

Qian Daoliu and the elders had truly treated him well, and Lin Ye had almost come to view himself as a member of the Worship Hall and a part of the Martial Soul Hall.

Furthermore, he and Qian Renxue were not enemies; they could stand on the same front and work together in the future for the hegemony of the Martial Soul Hall.

Most importantly, since all the elders had received one, it would be inappropriate to be the only one to exclude Qian Renxue.

Lin Ye hesitated for a second before taking out two more Immortal Herbs: "These are called Holy Orchid of Light. There are two in total; Qian Renxue, let's each take one. After consuming it, your soul power should be able to break through directly to level 50."

Looking at the Immortal Herbs in Lin Ye's hands, Qian Renxue felt slightly conflicted. She stared at him earnestly: "You are actually willing to share this kind of resource with me? Aren't you afraid that because of this one strange herb, you might lose your chance to inherit the Angel God Position in the future?"

Lin Ye shook his head and smiled: "If letting you absorb an Immortal Herb causes me to lose to you, then it simply means the Angel God Position was never meant for me, and I would accept that."

"You guy, really..." Qian Renxue was moved.

Those two years in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace had shown her too much of human greed and weakness.

Under the immense temptation of becoming the Angel God, she did not believe anyone could achieve what was called "healthy competition" without being blinded by temptation or resorting to despicable means in the shadows to achieve their goals.

That was why, when Lin Ye first suggested they could engage in healthy competition, Qian Renxue had never considered such a possibility.

But now, she believed him.

Moreover, Qian Renxue always felt that becoming the Angel God didn't seem to hold much desire for Lin Ye.

Qian Renxue made up her mind. She reached out to take the Immortal Herb and said with utmost sincerity: "Lin Ye, from today on, let's help each other and move forward together. I agree to the healthy competition you mentioned before."

"I will strive to take the Angel God Position, but if I truly lose to you in the future, it will mean that I, Qian Renxue, am not as skilled as you and am unworthy of the Angel God Position. I will calmly accept the final result."

Lin Ye smiled: "Good, then let's pinky swear."

"Pinky swear? Only children make promises with pinky swears!"

Lin Ye grinned: "But I am a child!"

"Fine, fine, fine, let's pinky swear."

The two reached out simultaneously, hooking their little fingers together and pressing their thumbs against each other.

They looked at each other and smiled.

The relationship between Lin Ye and Qian Renxue changed in that moment.

The Seven Great Elders watched this scene with gratified expressions, their own perspectives broadening.

Indeed! Perhaps they, too, should learn to calmly accept the final result?

"Then let's begin."

"Mm."

Everyone sat down to the side to absorb their Immortal Herbs.

The soul power of both Lin Ye and Qian Renxue began to soar rapidly!

Level 33!

Level 34!

Level 35!

Level 36!

Lin Ye's soul power had already increased by 4 levels, but it continued to climb!

Level 37!

Level 38!

Boom!

"Six levels! Lin Ye actually broke through by a full six levels of soul power. At this rate, couldn't my disciple step into the realm of a Soul Ancestor at age eight? Heavens, this growth speed is terrifying," Qian Daoliu exclaimed inwardly.

He looked toward Qian Renxue, who had also broken through from level 47 to level 50, an increase of a full 3 levels of soul power.

Lin Ye and Qian Renxue opened their eyes at the same time and stood up.

"Level 50! My soul power really broke through to level 50 in one go!" Qian Renxue was overjoyed. In her excitement, she hugged Lin Ye, kissed him gently on the cheek, and wore a sincere smile: "Thank you, Lin Ye."

Feeling the lingering warmth of Qian Renxue's lips on his cheek, Lin Ye's face turned slightly red: "Uh... do girls on the Douluo Continent just kiss anyone whenever they feel excited or grateful?"

Just then, the excited laughter of Thousand Jun and Falling Devil came from nearby.

"Haha! Hahahaha! I broke through, brother! I've broken through to level 97!!"

"Brother! I broke through too! I'm level 97 as well!"

"Congratulations, brother!"

"Congratulations, brother!"

"Brother~!"

"Brother~!"

The twin brothers, Thousand Jun and Falling Devil, embraced each other passionately.

Soon, fluctuations of soul power emanated from the direction of Mighty Lion Douluo and Azure Luan Douluo as well; the two 97th-rank peak Title Douluo had stepped into the 98th rank in one fell swoop!

A few seconds later.

Golden Crocodile Douluo's martial soul, the Golden Crocodile King, soared into the sky.

"ROAR!!"

Intense soul power fluctuations permeated the entire area as Golden Crocodile Douluo stepped from the 98th-rank peak into the 99th-rank Limit Douluo realm!

Everyone was incredibly excited: "Congratulations, Second Brother!!"

"This fellow Golden Crocodile has finally stepped into the 99th rank as well," Qian Daoliu sighed with emotion.

Golden Crocodile Douluo was actually the one with the highest seniority and age among them; when Golden Crocodile Douluo was roaming the soul master world, he, Qian Daoliu, was still just a fledgling.

Golden Crocodile Douluo was a true supreme genius, an existence who had managed to cultivate to the 98th-rank peak without the blessing of a god's trial.

And if he, Qian Daoliu, had not had the blessing of the Eight Angel Trials, his current achievements might not necessarily have surpassed those of Golden Crocodile.

Seeing how happy they were, Lin Ye also felt genuinely happy for them: "Congratulations, esteemed Elder Enshrined."

"Eh, Lin Ye, don't call us Elder Enshrined anymore. If you don't mind, just call us Grandfather," Golden Crocodile Douluo said with a kind expression.

Lin Ye knew that his status in the hearts of the Elder Enshrined had risen once again, so he smiled and said: "Alright, Grandfather Golden Crocodile, Grandfather Azure Luan, Grandfather Mighty Lion, Grandfather Thousand Jun, Grandfather Falling Devil."

"Good, good, good! Excellent!" The elders looked at him with affection.

"Wait! Wait! Something's wrong! Something's not right! Lin Ye calls you Grandfather, but calls me Brother; this seniority is all messed up!" Guang Ling interrupted.

Azure Luan laughed: "Fifth Brother, why don't you call us Grandfather too?"

Guang Ling rolled his eyes: "Get lost, get lost, get lost!"

"Haha! Alright, alright." Qian Daoliu gave a hearty laugh, then said: "Lin Ye! You are now at the 38th rank of soul power."

"There are about eight months left until the Second Angel Trial. You have a chance to break through to Soul Ancestor before completing the Second Trial, so you can reduce the time spent on special training with the Enshrined and spend more time on soul power cultivation."

"Yes, I understand."

For the next period of time, Lin Ye divided his time between the Enshrined's special training and soul power cultivation equally.

He continued his high-intensity training.

Time passed in a flash.

Before he knew it, seven months had gone by!

Lin Ye had completed the special training from the Elder Enshrined.

There was one month left until the Second Angel Trial.

He was now eight years old.

Over these two years, Lin Ye's body had developed rapidly, and the changes were significant.

His height had grown to one meter four, his chubby face had begun to slim down, and his features had shed their childishness, taking on a sense of youthfulness.

He was moving from a cute appearance toward a handsome one.

He was already a little heartthrob.
