Fair Competition? Two Angel God Heirs

"Sigh." Qian Daoliu heaved a sigh in his heart.

However, Lin Ye was already his disciple.

Moreover, possessing a martial soul like the Angel Holy Sword, in his heart, the boy was worthy of inheriting the Angel God Position.

If he wasn't a descendant of his own bloodline, so be it.

Qian Daoliu would unconditionally obey the will of the gods: "I understand, great Angel God!"

"You have a granddaughter, do you not? Bring her back!"

"She is also a successor I have chosen. Once she returns, have her and this child undergo the Angel Nine Trials inheritance assessment together."

"What! Xiaoxue has also been chosen?" Qian Daoliu was stunned, his heart filled with immense joy: "Good! Good, good, wonderful! Xiaoxue also has the qualifications to become the Angel God."

"You've got to be kidding me? Qian... Qian Renxue is also doing the Nine Trials?"

Upon learning he had been chosen by the Angel God, Lin Ye had been grinning from ear to ear just a second ago.

But upon hearing that he wasn't the only heir to the Angel God Position, and that the young mistress of Martial Soul Hall, Qian Renxue, was also included.

Good grief, Lin Ye couldn't keep that grin on his face anymore.

How the hell was he supposed to compete with that!

What could he possibly use to contend with Qian Renxue for the Angel God Position?

Qian Renxue was the young mistress of Martial Soul Hall and a descendant of the Six-Winged Angel clan.

Qian Daoliu was her grandfather!

The Worship Hall elders were absolutely loyal to the Six-Winged Angel!

The entire future of Martial Soul Hall could belong to Qian Renxue!

This was all her own people!

Yet he, Lin Ye, had no background. Although he had just become Qian Daoliu's disciple, they had only just met and shared no master-disciple bond. One could figure out with their toes that they would absolutely not want Lin Ye to inherit the Angel God Position.

They would all help Qian Renxue.

They might even bump him off halfway just to ensure Qian Renxue inherited the Angel God Position with 100% certainty!

Wouldn't he be played to death by them?

Forget it, isn't the Angel God trying to get me killed? What is this about me doing the Nine Trials with Qian Renxue! You might as well just give it to her directly! Lin Ye couldn't help but complain internally.

He didn't know if it was his imagination.

He felt that the gazes of the six great elders, including Golden Crocodile, were currently carrying a hint of hidden killing intent.

Lin Ye felt his life was hanging by a thread!

But the Angel God's next words instantly put him at ease: "Listen! They shall compete fairly!!"

"You must also treat them equally, without the slightest bit of favoritism!"

"If you dare to interfere or harbor malicious intent toward the successor I have chosen, you shall bear the consequences yourself!"

"Do you understand, Qian Daoliu, my 255th descendant!"

Upon learning that Qian Renxue had also been chosen, the thought of eliminating Lin Ye had indeed flashed through Qian Daoliu's mind.

But their clan held absolute, loyal faith in the Angel God.

The will of the gods could not be defied.

Qian Daoliu took a deep breath and responded with utmost solemnity: "Yes! Great Angel God, I will certainly obey your will and will never treat them with bias!"

"Lin Ye is my disciple, and I will certainly teach and cultivate him with care."

"Very good."

As the last two words of the Angel God fell, the presence slowly dissipated.

Qian Daoliu immediately stood up and said: "Send word to Xiaoxue! Tell her to abort the Heaven Dou Infiltration Plan and return immediately!"

"Yes! Great Elder!"

Afterward, he came before Lin Ye with a complex expression; he was struggling and conflicted in his heart.

But in the end, he decided to properly cultivate this child, Lin Ye: "Disciple, once Xiaoxue returns, the two of you shall prepare to begin the trials of the Angel God."

"From now on, you will reside within the Worship Hall, and I will have someone prepare a room for you."

"Go and get a good night's rest first. Tomorrow, this master will take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain your first spirit ring."

Looking at Qian Daoliu's well-meaning gaze, Lin Ye tentatively believed that he would cultivate him properly and provide an environment where he and Qian Renxue could compete for the Angel God Position fairly.

However, the future was unpredictable.

Perhaps it was like this now, but if he truly surpassed Qian Renxue and was about to inherit the god position in the future.

Would Qian Daoliu and the Worship Hall elders want to get rid of him then?

The identity of an Angel God successor was like a double-edged sword; it could bring Lin Ye immense benefits.

But it could also plunge him into a perilous situation where he might lose his life at any moment.

Lin Ye had no choice but to keep his guard up against the elders of the Worship Hall and remain wary of them.

But regardless of what the future held, or whether he would eventually vie for the Angel God Position, one thing was crystal clear to Lin Ye right now.

He was going to use the Angel Nine Trials to make himself stronger, and fast!

Lin Ye pulled back his thoughts, smiled, and nodded: "Understood, Teacher."

"Then, Teacher, I shall return to my previous quarters to pack my things."

"Very well, go ahead."

Following this, Lin Ye walked out of the Worship Hall.

He turned back to look at the grand gates of the hall, sighing inwardly: "I was once just an orphan with no money, no power, and no background, ignored by everyone. Yet, in the blink of an eye, I have become the personal disciple of Qian Daoliu, the Great Elder of Martial Soul Hall."

"Life truly is full of unpredictable twists and turns..."

Lin Ye was well aware of the weight carried by the title of Qian Daoliu's personal disciple; it was enough to let him walk sideways across Martial Soul City, and indeed the entire Douluo Continent, with few daring to offend him.

From this moment on, his life had undergone a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering transformation.

On the other side, Hu Liena, who had already left Martial Soul City to undertake a training mission, found the image of Lin Ye holding his sword surfacing in her mind. Her mood was somewhat chaotic as she said: "Xie Yue, tell me... was what I said to Lin Ye today a bit too harsh?"

Xie Yue advised: "Nana, you must understand that he and we are no longer people of the same world. You are a genius with near Innate Full Soul Power, about to become the personal disciple of His Holiness the Pope."

"By being decisive, you ensure he won't keep dwelling on the matter of your engagement."

"Exactly! Nana, he didn't even want to be friends with you anymore, so why do you still care about that kid Lin Ye? Given the talent he could possibly awaken, he probably doesn't even have the qualifications to trail behind us!" Yan said with a look of disdain, not forgetting to flatter Hu Liena: "Just watch, Nana. Once you become stronger and climb higher, that kid will definitely regret this!"

"That's right! I hadn't even thought about breaking ties with him, yet he, Lin Ye, took the initiative to break ties with me! Hmph! If he regrets it and comes crawling back to try and restore our friendship, I won't even spare him a glance!"

"Let him regret it!" Hu Liena hardened her heart completely, her expression filled with pride.

She had also decided that from now on, she would never show Lin Ye any mercy.

Returning to the original dormitory area, Lin Ye stepped into his small room.

As the descendant of a spirit master who died in service to Martial Soul Hall, his living conditions were actually not bad.

Martial Soul Hall provided a monthly stipend to orphans like them, and their lives were certainly much better than those of ordinary commoners.

Yet, his room was extremely simple and sparse, with barely even a few changes of clothes.

This was because Lin Ye had spent all the stipends he had saved over the years to purchase a piece of ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber!

As a transmigrator, how could he not have made preparations for himself in advance?
