Both sides leaped into the air at the same time.
Lin Ye slashed down fiercely!
In the clash.
Wind Wolf's body was instantly cleaved in two!
Blood splattered everywhere!
An instant kill!
The century-old Wind Wolf had been instantly killed by Lin Ye's sword!
Lin Ye landed on the ground.
He stared blankly at the Wind Wolf that had been cut in half. "Dead... dead? The Sun True Fire is actually this powerful!"
"Teacher, I... I didn't mean to kill it."
This child is even more outstanding than I imagined. Even if he does not inherit the Angel God Position, his future will be limitless! Qian Daoliu marveled inwardly. He had not expected Lin Ye to kill it with a single slash.
He gathered his thoughts and looked at Lin Ye with even greater fondness. "It is fine. I understand. This was your first life-and-death battle, so you had no time to consider too much. What is done is done."
"However, unless absolutely necessary, you must not slaughter soul beasts at will in the future. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Master. I understand." Lin Ye nodded solemnly.
Qian Daoliu asked curiously, "Aside from drawing upon the power of the Sun True Fire, what other abilities does your Angel Holy Sword possess?"
"Teacher, it also has purification and dissolution. If an enemy is struck by my Angel Holy Sword, their Soul Power will continuously dissolve and be depleted."
"Purification and dissolution—this is also one of the powerful abilities possessed by the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul!"
However, in terms of purification and dissolution, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul was somewhat stronger. The angel light attribute emitted by the Six-Winged Angel could continuously dissolve the enemy's Soul Power during battle.
Still, in his view, the Angel Holy Sword was in no way inferior to the Six-Winged Angel.
Aside from purification and dissolution, Lin Ye could sense that the Angel Holy Sword concealed a mysterious power.
But his cultivation was not high enough to activate it.
"Not bad, my disciple. Your Angel Holy Sword Martial Soul is extraordinarily powerful," Qian Daoliu praised.
He then said, "Your swordsmanship is already exceptional for your age, but it still has many flaws. It is not fast, precise, or ruthless enough. However, I can tell that you possess immense talent in the sword."
"As for the sword technique you are currently practicing, it is far too ordinary and unworthy of the Angel Holy Sword Martial Soul. Once we return, I will teach you the Angel Sword Technique cultivated by our Six-Winged Angel clan."
"If you can master it, your strength will greatly improve. With your abilities, no one below Soul Elder will be your match."
"Come, let us return."
For a truly powerful soul master, having only a powerful Martial Soul and powerful soul skills was not enough.
They also needed to know how to fight and how to battle.
No matter how amazing a Martial Soul was, if one's combat ability, awareness, and experience were poor, and one merely swung a sword around wildly, how powerful could one really be?
Therefore, soul masters had to possess formidable combat ability and techniques.
This was an extremely important foundation for soul masters!
Lin Ye was looking forward to seeing just how much stronger this so-called Angel Sword Technique was than the sword technique he currently practiced.
After returning to the Worship Hall.
Lin Ye finally began his life of cultivation as a soul master.
He trained in the Angel Sword Technique under Qian Daoliu.
But there was one thing that puzzled Lin Ye.
The Clear Sky Sect had created powerful supreme arts such as the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, and the Great Sumeru Hammer Mystery Ring Explosion.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin had created the Kill Character Formula.
A verse of thirteen strings within a cup, half a life of wind and rain, all returning to a single sword.
As well as powerful sword arts and techniques like Unity of Man and Sword.
Yet the Six-Winged Angel clan had been passed down for over ten thousand years. Had they not developed any powerful skills or supreme arts?
Just as Lin Ye was wondering how to ask, Qian Daoliu brought it up on his own. "My disciple, our Six-Winged Angel clan possesses three great inherited secret techniques. Once you have mastered the Angel Sword Technique, I will teach you one of them."
"So there really are some!"
"Now this is what a long-standing angel clan with over ten thousand years of history should be like!"
Lin Ye smiled. "Thank you, Teacher!"
"Enough. Begin practicing the Angel Sword Technique."
Qian Daoliu personally taught him the sword technique.
For the next period of time, Lin Ye trained under him, diligently practicing the Angel Sword Technique while meditating to increase his Soul Power.
Day after day passed.
Lin Ye grew stronger with each passing day.
Elsewhere.
In Heaven Dou City, within the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Eleven-year-old Qian Renxue received a message ordering her to return.
"Grandfather wants me to immediately end the Infiltration Plan and go home? Why? Did he say why?"
"My apologies, Young Mistress. The Grand Pontiff did not explain the reason, but he sent a message," Snake Lance Douluo said.
"What message?"
Snake Lance Douluo repeated the message. "Return home without worry. Spirit Hall will feel honored by your return!"
Qian Renxue froze, unable to understand what was happening.
What was this? She was supposed to return halfway through the infiltration, and that was somehow honorable?
Yet her delicate body trembled slightly. She was incredibly excited, and her eyes could not help turning red.
It had been two whole years.
There had not been a single day when she did not want to go home, to return to the Pope Palace.
But the young and innocent Qian Renxue had been provoked by Bibi Dong's words back then. To prove herself to Bibi Dong, she had gritted her teeth and agreed to go to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace to carry out the Infiltration Plan and seize power.
Once she had taken that step, she could no longer turn back, nor could she bring herself to give up voluntarily.
No matter how much she wanted to go home, how much grievance she suffered here, or how unhappy she was, Qian Renxue could only grit her teeth and endure. But now that Qian Daoliu suddenly wanted her to return, how could she not be excited?
The word "honored" at least let Qian Renxue understand that she could return with peace of mind.
Qian Renxue wiped away the tears from her eyes. "Home!"
Escorted by the two Titled Douluo, Pufferfish and Snake Lance, she immediately set out for Spirit City.
Time flew by.
Ten days later!
Inside the Worship Hall.
Lin Ye swung the sword in his hand. Every move flowed seamlessly into the next, his combinations smooth and without the slightest hesitation.
His sword strikes were fast, precise, and ruthless.
Qian Daoliu watched from the side in a daze, shock surging through his heart. This brat has only spent ten days cultivating the profound sword technique passed down through my Six-Winged Angel clan for over ten thousand years, and he has already achieved considerable mastery?
At this rate, won't he master the Angel Sword Technique within a month?
Even I needed a full half year back then to master the Angel Sword Technique!
I knew his sword talent was high, but I never imagined it would be this monstrous!!
Amid his shock, Qian Daoliu called a halt. "All right, my disciple. You have already achieved considerable mastery of the Angel Sword Technique. Continue cultivating."
"Understood, Teacher. Then I will go cultivate at the Martial Soul Mimicry Training Ground."
The demonstration ended.
Lin Ye put away the Angel Holy Sword and left.
After roughly mastering all the sword forms of the Angel Sword Technique, he had spent most of his time cultivating at the mimicry training ground in the Pope Palace.
Every day, he traveled between two places: the Worship Hall and the mimicry training ground.
After leaving the Worship Hall, Lin Ye headed straight toward the mimicry training ground, thinking, I must grow stronger as quickly as possible before Qian Renxue returns. After all, she and I can be considered rivals.
It was also at this time.
Qian Renxue finally returned!
At the same time, Hu Liena, Yan, and Xie Yue also returned from their training mission.
