Eight-Winged Blazing Light Holy Angel

Dugu Yan wiped on the medicinal salve and asked with a bewildered expression, "Chrysanthemum Grandpa, Lin Huai was just fighting alongside his Martial Soul, so how could it not be an externalized Martial Soul?"

Hearing Dugu Yan's affectionate address, Yue Guan could not suppress the smile on his face.

He applied the special salve to Lin Huai once more, taking the opportunity to hand a bottle to Dugu Yan.

"Little Yan-yan is so well-behaved. Take this salve; it's much better than what your grandfather has."

"After you apply it, there won't even be a scar by tomorrow."

Dugu Bo couldn't be bothered to pay any mind to this old fellow who acted like a child.

Fragments of Lin Huai's attempt to cultivate his Martial Soul last year surfaced in his mind.

"It seems I truly have never attempted Martial Soul Possession."

Lin Huai then summoned Malenia.

He circulated his soul power to initiate Martial Soul Possession.

"Martial Soul, Possession!"

Although the Martial Soul did not merge with Lin Huai's body, his right hand once again manifested the Arm Guard and Prosthetic Blade.

His face was also covered by the same Winged Helm worn by Malenia.

Lin Huai's soul ring lit up once more. Through the sensory amplification provided by the Winged Helm, he felt confident he could control the full-power boost of his first soul skill.

"Elder Chrysanthemum, let me test my soul skill."

A pale yellow barrier of soul power appeared in front of Yue Guan.

Under the effect of the full-speed boost, Lin Huai slashed his blade toward the barrier.

Propelled by the recoil, Lin Huai took two steps back.

He looked at the blade still manifesting on his right hand with a face full of surprise.

He clenched his fist repeatedly; there was no sensation of muscle tearing even at triple speed. It seemed his physical body had also received an appropriate enhancement.

Yue Guan's surprised voice reached his ears.

"Little Huai-huai, your Martial Soul is simply outrageous!"

"Not only can it perform partial Martial Soul Possession, but it can also be used as an externalized Martial Soul."

"In the future, when you duel others, you'll essentially be fighting two-on-one."

Lin Huai brandished the Prosthetic Blade in his hand.

"Elder Chrysanthemum, what level of Martial Soul would you say this blade is equivalent to after I possess it?"

Yue Guan recalled the attack from just a moment ago.

"It can absolutely be considered a top-tier tool-type Martial Soul."

"Even compared to the Seven Kill Sword, it is not inferior in the slightest."

Lin Huai exited the state of Martial Soul Possession.

"Elder Chrysanthemum, shall we test my Martial Soul's attack again?"

Yue Guan curled his lip.

"Go ahead and try. A single soul master wants to break my defense?"

Malenia lowered her body slightly, her right hand and blade positioned behind her.

(Ahem... this is a bit rough, please don't mind it.)

Malenia appeared before Chrysanthemum Douluo as if she had teleported, a heavy, powerful slash surging straight toward him.

Feeling the terrifying momentum, Yue Guan secretly thought, Oh no.

His fifth soul ring flickered as he rapidly released his soul skill.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Golden Glazed Body."

A massive glazed chrysanthemum appeared in front of Yue Guan.

Like a hot knife through butter, the blade easily sliced through the first layer of the soul power shield.

It struck the glazed chrysanthemum directly, cleaving through more than half of it before finally coming to a slow halt.

He excitedly retracted his Martial Soul.

Just as he struck Yue Guan's defensive soul skill, soul power surged rapidly within Lin Huai's body.

Although it could not be absorbed directly, it meant that the Malenia Martial Soul could fight without consuming his own soul power.

Yue Guan's voice trembled:

"A... divine artifact?"

Dugu Bo and his granddaughter also stared at Lin Huai with wide eyes.

Lin Huai immediately composed his expression, waving his hand modestly as he said, "No need to be surprised. I'm just a small Soul Master with Innate Full Soul Power, a first soul ring absorbed at twelve hundred years, and a Martial Soul that comes with a divine artifact. Nothing to make a fuss about."

Dugu Yan heard these inhuman words.

"So this is the kind of person you are, Lin Huai!"

She immediately grabbed onto Dugu Bo's robes.

"Grandfather, let's go hunt for soul rings. I don't want to see him right now."

Dugu Bo put away his complex expression and took Dugu Yan away.

Yue Guan didn't pay much attention to Lin Huai's remarks; although it was hard to believe, it was, after all, the truth.

"Little Huai..."

Lin Huai responded to Yue Guan seriously as well.

"It is a divine artifact, otherwise I wouldn't have mocked myself earlier by saying I would become a god, because it is truly possible."

"But since this is a divine artifact, why didn't it just cleave through your soul skill?"

Yue Guan rolled his eyes.

"Do you think you're invincible just because you hold a divine artifact?"

"Can a three-year-old child kill an adult just by holding a knife?"

"Furthermore, your own level is too low, which prevents your Martial Soul from unleashing its full capabilities."

Without waiting for Lin Huai to speak again, Yue Guan drifted back toward the immortal herbs.

However, the moment his back was turned to Lin Huai, Yue Guan's expression became extremely grave.

Even the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul isn't this outrageous!

He was a Title Douluo, yet based on this combat power, the kid Lin Huai's Martial Soul could already kill a Soul King.

As he pondered, Yue Guan realized he had drifted all the way to where the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was located.

He took the opportunity to pluck it and consumed it immediately.

Lin Huai watched Yue Guan drift away and turned his focus inward to his dantian.

He noticed the soul power being absorbed through Lianlian.

Lin Huai immediately activated Martial Soul Possession, practicing his blade techniques under the enhancement of his Martial Soul.

An hour after Yue Guan finished absorbing the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, the light cocoon surrounding Qian Renxue expanded instantly, the waves of heat being neutralized by Qian Daoliu's soul power.

Following this, a phantom of the Angel God, standing a hundred meters tall, appeared.

As the light cocoon began to shrink, the massive Angel God phantom also underwent a transformation.

The armor on its body grew increasingly dazzling, and a fourth pair of golden wings slowly emerged from its back, while golden-red flames appeared along the edges of the Angel Holy Sword in its hand and its wings.

Everyone present felt as if they had heard Her name—Eight-Winged Blazing Light Holy Angel!

Yue Guan would swear to the heavens that all the shock he had accumulated in the first half of his life combined could not compare to what he had seen in these past two days.

A god-level Martial Soul can mutate?

Who could have ever imagined that!

Once the light cocoon fully retracted, the angel phantom in mid-air dissipated simultaneously.

Qian Renxue appeared in her Martial Soul Possession state.

Dazzling armor covered her entire body.

Without a word, she flapped her two pairs of wings and flew toward the small wooden cabin built by Dugu Bo.

An image of Qian Renxue surfaced in Lin Huai's mind.

No wonder it felt so breezy; turns out her clothes were burned away.

Watching the excited Qian Daoliu walk over, Lin Huai posed a fatal question:

"Teacher, what is the relationship between Sister Xiaoxue and the Pope? I feel like they look somewhat similar."

Yue Guan's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

My ancestor, if you want to die, don't drag me down with you!

Qian Daoliu fell into silence, and before he could speak, a voice drifted over.

"Bibi Dong is my mother."

After Qian Renxue arrived, she ignored Lin Huai and stared straight at Qian Daoliu.

"Grandfather, I think I deserve to know why she doesn't like me."

"I am already sixteen years old!"

Yue Guan did his best to retract his aura at this moment, wishing he could bury himself into the dirt.

Qian Daoliu waved his hand, raising an exceptionally thick barrier of soul power.

It covered both Lin Huai and Qian Renxue.

He heaved a sigh.

"Xiaoxue."

"Are you certain you want to know?"

Lin Huai weakly raised his small hand.

"Teacher, is this something I am allowed to hear?"

Qian Renxue pulled Lin Huai into an embrace.

"Since you have acknowledged me as your elder sister, you will stay right here. Don't tell me you are planning to stab me in the back?"

"It's fine, Little Huai, just listen. You can also help comfort Xiaoxue."
