Qian Xunji looked at Qian Renxia, Qian Renwei, and Qian Renting once more and asked,
"Xiaxia, Weiwei, Tingting, which of you three wants to awaken your Martial Soul first?"
"Daddy, Daddy, I want to go first!" Qian Renxia and Qian Renwei circled Qian Xunji, clamoring nonstop. Both wanted him to awaken their Martial Souls first.
Only Qian Renting stayed where she was, feeling a little uneasy. At six years old, she had already learned a fair bit about the Douluo Continent simply by being surrounded by it. She knew that a child's Martial Soul was determined by their parents.
There was no doubt about her father's Martial Soul: it was the continent's finest, the Six-Winged Angel. Her mother's Martial Soul, on the other hand, was a little inferior.
She was afraid her awakened Martial Soul would be too weak and disappoint her father.
Qian Xunji spotted Qian Renting and beckoned to her. "Tingting, you go first."
"Hmph, Daddy's playing favorites." The two little ones pouted to show their displeasure.
Though they were unhappy, Qian Xunji's usual sternness kept them from acting up.
"Daddy, m-me first?" Qian Renting asked uncertainly.
"That's right, Tingting. You go first."
Only then did Qian Renting walk over to Qian Xunji.
The awakening ceremony began.
Divine power transformed into golden particles and entered Qian Renting's body.
Her face relaxed with comfort. Following Qian Xunji's instructions, she began awakening her Martial Soul.
A verdant figure slowly appeared behind Qian Renting.
It was still an Angel.
But no longer a Six-Winged Angel.
And no longer golden.
She was entirely emerald green, with only two wings.
Qian Xunji instantly realized that Qian Renting's Martial Soul had mutated. He had never imagined that an Angel could one day become a pure support-type Soul Master.
Her support ability had only one function—healing. It could target a group or an individual. Qian Xunji reckoned that by the time Qian Renting reached Titled Douluo, her healing might even be able to restore someone from the brink of death to full health in a single breath.
What a fine Martial Soul!
Qian Xunji couldn't help but marvel.
"Tingting, your Martial Soul is a Two-Winged Healing Angel, and its attribute is healing. Its healing ability far surpasses that of ordinary healing-type Martial Souls. Once you reach Titled Douluo, you'll even be able to regrow flesh on bare bones and bring the dead back to life."
"Now let's see your Innate Soul Power." Qian Xunji took out the Soul Power Testing Crystal Ball.
Qian Renting placed her hand on the crystal ball.
A glow gradually spread across its surface.
The four little ones—Qian Renxue, Qian Renshuang, Qian Renxia, and Qian Renwei—stood watching Qian Renting. Their eyes gradually lit up.
A Two-Winged Healing Angel.
Regrow flesh on bare bones, bring the dead back to life.
This was practically a super healer!
Whoever had Tingting on their side would have the advantage from the start and be invincible.
At once, Qian Renxue, Qian Renshuang, Qian Renxia, and Qian Renwei all hurried over to Tingting, who had finished awakening her Martial Soul.
Qian Renting had undoubtedly become the darling of the group.
Qian Renting's Innate Soul Power was level eight.
"Xiaxia, Weiwei, you two come over here and awaken your Martial Souls." Qian Xunji grabbed the two girls and pulled them away from Qian Renting.
Daddy's playing favorites.
Daddy's playing favorites.
Aaaah...
Seeing their two older sisters about to steal Qian Renting away, the two girls were heartbroken and started crying.
Of course, that was a bit of an exaggeration.
The two officially began awakening their Martial Souls.
Qian Renxia and Qian Renwei both had Six-Winged Angel Martial Souls, with Innate Soul Power at level ten.
After the three little ones finished awakening their Martial Souls, Qian Xunji had Qian Renxue and Qian Renshuang take them to enroll at Spirit Hall Academy.
The seven little ones made a perfect lineup. One day, they'd give the Shrek Seven Devils a taste of what seven little ones could do.
When Tang San saw the seven little ones' Martial Souls, he would surely be shocked. He might even start questioning Yu Xiaogang, who would then grow suspicious of Bibi Dong. What a delightful thought.
After sending off the five little ones—Qian Renxue, Qian Renshuang, Qian Renxia, Qian Renwei, and Qian Renting—Qian Xunji went to check on Qian Renwu and Qian Renhui.
After that, he spent some time with Leng Lingyuan, Xue Ying, and Xiao Rou.
Naturally, he couldn't forget Bibi Dong, either. Qian Xunji was still counting on her to make more contributions to him.
Once everything was taken care of, Qian Xunji headed back to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and resumed his secluded cultivation.
Transforming his soul into a divine soul would not be easy. Fortunately, Qian Xunji had mastered the Ancient Phoenix Method, which would greatly shorten the time required.
Douluo Continent.
An unknown village.
Tang Hao and Ah Yin had been living in seclusion there for some time.
They both knew Spirit Hall was looking for them. They had narrowly escaped danger several times, and Tang Hao believed that some Deity in the heavens must be watching over the two of them.
Early morning.
Ah Yin found Tang Hao with an air of mystery and said, "Hao Ge, I have good news. I'm pregnant."
"What!"
"Ah Yin, you're saying you're pregnant!"
"I'm going to be a father!"
"That's wonderful! I'm going to be a father!" Tang Hao excitedly scooped Ah Yin into his arms.
"Hao Ge, put me down quickly. You'll startle the baby," Ah Yin said coyly.
"Ah Yin, yes, yes—you're right. Look at me, I'm just so happy." Tang Hao set Ah Yin down, tongue-tied with excitement.
The two sat beneath the setting sun, enjoying their happy, peaceful moment.
Douluo Continent, Balak Kingdom.
Yu Xiaogang was talking animatedly to the two people beside him, recounting his past.
This was the eighth year since he and Bibi Dong had parted ways. Surely the girl from back then had long since forgotten him.
After he'd sent Bibi Dong back to Spirit Hall to threaten Qian Xunji, he had never seen her again.
He had waited for a year in Spirit City, but Bibi Dong had never come.
He hadn't dared go to Spirit Hall to ask why, afraid Qian Xunji would slap him to death on the spot.
From this, he had drawn his conclusion: the girl who claimed to like him couldn't bring herself to give up her wealth and status to run away with him.
Although he hadn't managed to get Bibi Dong to leave Spirit City with him, he hadn't come away empty-handed. Spirit Hall's library had greatly enriched his knowledge.
With all that knowledge, he could make his way anywhere.
He even knew more than some Soul Emperors and Soul Saints.
And now, he had gained himself a little fangirl.
"Wow, Big Brother Xiaogang, you know so much!" Liu Erlong said, her face full of admiration.
Yu Xiaogang smiled. "Erlong, what I've told you is only a fraction of my research."
"In terms of theory, I dare call myself second on the continent. No one would dare claim first."
"Everyone says Blue Silver Grass is a Trash Martial Soul, but according to my research, Blue Silver Grass has great potential for development."
"I've always believed that there are no useless Martial Souls in this world, only useless Soul Masters."
"Wow, Big Brother Xiaogang, that makes so much sense!"
Flender watched from the side, feeling envious. He wished he were as knowledgeable as Yu Xiaogang.
Then he, too, might win Little Sister Erlong's heart.
Immersed in Liu Erlong's praise, Yu Xiaogang felt it was time to forget Bibi Dong and begin a new life.
In the blink of an eye, nine months passed.
Douluo Continent, Clear Sky Sect.
"Patriarch, I found the young master! I found the young master!"
The patriarch of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Wei, asked with a frown, "Is he still with that Soul Beast?"
"Y-yes, Patriarch."
"A-and the Soul Beast is pregnant!"
"Bastard!"
"Is he trying to anger me to death?"
"What comes from a human and a Soul Beast getting together?"
"It's utterly immoral!"
