Qian Renxue: You're simply a monster!

At the same time.

High above in the infinitely distant nine heavens, the God Realm.

Deep within a towering palace wreathed in swirling clouds and mist.

A majestic figure draped in purple-black robes stood before a massive screen of light.

It was none other than the God King of Destruction, who had just bestowed his inheritance.

Beside him stood a breathtakingly beautiful woman, her entire being radiating boundless vitality and a soft glow.

It was the Goddess of Life, his companion through endless ages.

The two stood side by side.

Beyond the God King of Destruction, even the Goddess of Life now cast her gaze across the infinite expanse of space.

Together, they focused their attention on the child on the Douluo Continent who had just awakened the Nine Nether Beast martial soul.

Lin Yuan stood quietly in the center of the great hall, slowly closing his eyes.

He was carefully probing the changes occurring within his body.

Beyond that overbearing and peerless purple-black lightning, which was saturated with an endless sense of destruction.

Hidden in the deepest reaches of his meridians, there lurked another power, entirely distinct from the first.

It was a glimmer of emerald-green light, pure to the extreme.

This green light was infused with the vast vitality of all things reviving and the cycle of life that never ceases.

The two forces, one yin and one yang, one of destruction and one of creation, had reached a perfect balance within his body.

Lin Yuan understood immediately.

It turned out that he had not only caught the eye of the God King of Destruction.

When he triggered the celestial phenomena earlier, the Goddess of Life, a God King of the God Realm, had also simultaneously bestowed her recognition and inheritance.

The wills of the two deities transformed into clear information, branding themselves directly into his mind.

The first trial for the Godhood of Destruction was simple and brutal.

It required him to personally kill a thousand-year-level spirit beast within three years and absorb it as his first spirit ring.

As for the trial for the Godhood of Life, it required him to find and absorb a mutated immortal herb.

For any other six-year-old child who had just awakened their martial soul.

Hearing these two trial tasks would surely lead to instant despair.

Absorbing a thousand-year spirit beast as a first spirit ring completely defied the common sense of the spirit master world; death by bodily explosion would be the only outcome.

As for a mutated immortal herb, it was a divine object on the Douluo Continent that could be sought but never found.

Yet, Lin Yuan's expression remained as calm as water.

He possessed the top-tier bloodline of the Nine Nether Beast, and the strength of his physical body had long since surpassed the understanding of ordinary spirit masters.

The violent energy of a thousand-year spirit ring posed no threat to him whatsoever.

As for the whereabouts of an immortal herb, he already had plans in mind.

These two seemingly impossible god-level trials were, to him, really not much of a problem at all.

"Yuan'er."

A crisp, melodious voice interrupted Lin Yuan's thoughts.

Qian Renxue approached with light, quick steps.

Her dazzling golden hair shimmered in the sunlight, and her exquisite, beautiful features radiated an innate nobility.

At this moment, her large golden eyes were filled with curiosity as she unabashedly looked Lin Yuan up and down.

"How are you feeling now?"

"After absorbing such terrifying divine power in one go, is there any discomfort in your body?"

As his elder sister, Qian Renxue's words were laced with concern.

Lin Yuan turned his head to look at the beautiful face before him, giving his reply in a relaxed tone.

"I am fine."

"Since awakening my martial soul, my strength has increased significantly, and my physical state is better than it has ever been."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's eyes lit up instantly.

Deep down, she possessed an inherent, unyielding pride.

Now that she saw this convenient younger brother display such heaven-defying talent, her competitive spirit was thoroughly ignited.

She stepped back two paces, her fair chin lifting slightly.

"Since you're in such good shape, why don't we have a spar?"

"I am older than you, and my foundation of Soul Power is deeper than yours."

"Let me, as your elder sister, properly test just how strong your practical combat ability really is."

Facing Qian Renxue's challenge, Lin Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest.

He nodded readily and accepted.

"Alright."

The two arrived at a spacious training ground behind the Pope's Palace.

Qian Renxue did not underestimate her opponent at all, her internal Soul Power erupting in an instant.

A brilliant golden light soared into the sky, the phantom of her Six-Winged Angel martial soul flickering into existence behind her.

A scorching and divine pressure swept directly toward Lin Yuan.

Qian Renxue moved like lightning, launching the first strike.

She swung her slender arm, carrying a fierce gale, and sent a palm strike straight toward Lin Yuan's chest.

Lin Yuan stood his ground, neither dodging nor evading.

He did not even summon his Nine Nether Beast martial soul, choosing instead to meet the attack relying solely on the pure physical strength he possessed after awakening.

He raised his arm, curled his five fingers into a fist, and punched out.

Fist and palm collided, emitting a dull boom.

Golden Soul Power and tyrannical physical force clashed violently in mid-air, stirring up a visible shockwave.

Qian Renxue felt a numbness in her palm, and she was forced to retreat three steps by the recoil.

She steadied herself, a flash of shock passing through her eyes before it transformed into an even more intense fighting spirit.

"Again!"

Qian Renxue let out a sharp cry and surged forward once more.

The two exchanged blows rapidly across the training ground.

Fists and kicks flew, leaving behind a blur of afterimages.

Qian Renxue's attacks were sharp and swift, leveraging the advantage of her Angel Soul Power to strike directly at vital points with every move.

Lin Yuan, however, neutralized every one of her offensives as if he were taking a leisurely stroll.

His movements were broad and open, devoid of any flashiness, yet they exuded an unshakable sense of weight.

This high-intensity sparring session lasted for a full half-hour.

It was only when both of them had exhausted most of their stamina that they finally stopped.

Qian Renxue's chest heaved violently as she gasped for air.

She reached up to wipe the fine beads of sweat from her forehead, staring wide-eyed at Lin Yuan.

"You haven't even absorbed your first Soul Ring yet, and you're already this strong!"

"Even when I use my Angel Soul Power, I can't suppress you."

"What kind of monster are you, anyway?"

Qian Renxue couldn't help but complain, though in her heart, she was completely convinced by this younger brother of hers.

At the very same time the two were sparring.

Bibi Dong sat perched on her high throne, her gaze sweeping over the rows of children below waiting for their awakening.

She knew very well that to fully control the Martial Soul Hall, she had to cultivate her own loyal faction.

Soon, the performance of one girl caught her attention.

The girl had awakened a very rare Demon Fox martial soul.

Her tested Innate Soul Power reached level seven.

Although this talent was not worth mentioning compared to the commotion Lin Yuan had caused, it was absolutely top-tier among ordinary soul masters.

What Bibi Dong valued even more was that the girl's martial soul possessed an extremely potent charm attribute.

Even as a six-year-old child, her every gesture already displayed astonishing talent and potential.

Bibi Dong made the decision on the spot to take this girl as her disciple.

The girl's name was Hu Liena.

Upon learning that she had been taken as a personal disciple by the exalted Pope, Hu Liena was stunned, followed by a surge of overwhelmed ecstasy.

Her pretty little face was filled with excitement, making her appear exceptionally charming and adorable.
