Qian Daoliu felt a flash of understanding in his heart, and the remaining few elders could not help nodding as well.
This generation possessed the Six-Winged Angel martial soul inheritance, which meant the next-generation successor of Spirit Hall was already confirmed.
Moreover, the sacred aura radiating from Qian Renxue was terrifyingly intense.
The elders had watched Qian Xunji awaken back then; compared to Qian Renxue, the gap between Qian Xunji and her was worlds apart.
As expected of my, Qian Xunji's, daughter—truly a hero father breeds no dog son.
Qian Xunji was thrilled, knowing his daughter surpassing him was a certainty.
Beside him, Bibi Dong clenched her fists in secret, her red-brown eyes filled with coldness and disgust.
Along with... a trace of imperceptible killing intent.
Why! Why is it the Six-Winged Angel martial soul!
"Xue'er, test your soul power."
After landing, Qian Renxue followed Qian Daoliu's instructions and placed her delicate little hand on the Soul Power Testing Ball.
Instantly, the crystal ball burst forth with dazzling light.
The crystal ball Qian Daoliu had produced could probe any soul power below rank thirty; judging by the current light, Qian Renxue's Innate Soul Power had already surpassed rank ten, reaching an astonishing rank twenty!
"Xue'er actually has Innate Rank Twenty Soul Power! Heaven bless our Spirit Hall!"
Qian Daoliu's eyes brimmed with tears; as the High Priest of the Angel God, Qian Daoliu naturally knew what this meant.
The Angel God Position, which had lain dormant for ten thousand years, might reappear in the world during his granddaughter's generation!
"Eldest Brother, Xue'er's talent can be called rare across the continent. Not bad, not bad!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo stroked his beard with a gratified expression.
The rest of the elders also offered their congratulations.
"Hahaha, our Xue'er is the best, am I right?"
Qian Renxue nodded, jumping for joy as she quickly hurried over toward Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong.
After all, she was only a six-year-old child; although Bibi Dong had ignored her previously, she merely thought she hadn't done well enough.
Now that she had awakened the Six-Winged Angel martial soul and achieved an unprecedented Innate Rank Twenty Soul Power, she eagerly wanted to win Bibi Dong's approval.
"Dad, am I very strong?"
Qian Renxue went to Qian Xunji's side first, and Qian Xunji was naturally exceptionally happy.
Yet just as Qian Renxue tried to approach Bibi Dong, Bibi Dong turned around and walked away.
"I've seen enough, I'm heading back to cultivate first."
Bibi Dong ignored the many people present and left on her own accord.
"Mom..."
"Be a good girl, Xiaoxue. Mom still needs to cultivate. Let's watch Xiao Chen and Ling Feng awaken their martial souls first, okay?"
Qian Xunji frowned slightly. Though extremely dissatisfied with Bibi Dong, he still forced a smile.
"That's right, Xiaoxue, come over here first. Grandpa will take you later tonight, alright?"
"Alright then."
Although still unhappy, Qian Renxue agreed nonetheless.
Qiangu Lingfeng watched all of this unfold, inevitably finding the situation rather tricky.
At the end of the day, both sides bore responsibility for this matter.
"Xiao Feng, come on. It's your turn to awaken your martial soul."
Qian Daoliu called Jin Chen forward. Jin Chen nodded, casting a glance at Ling Feng and Qian Renxue beside him.
"I, Jin Chen, am a genius too. I certainly won't fall behind you guys!"
Jin Chen walked up to Golden Crocodile, whose withered palm patted Jin Chen affectionately.
At that moment, this sexagenarian was actually even more nervous than Jin Chen himself.
He had only this one grandson left; if he failed to awaken the Golden Crocodile martial soul, the lineage of this martial soul would be broken.
"Grandpa, why are you so nervous? I will definitely awaken the Golden Crocodile martial soul!"
Jin Chen brushed Golden Crocodile Douluo's hand away and strode toward the Awakening Formation.
It was still Qian Daoliu who performed the ritual, and Jin Chen quickly felt a potent force surge from within his body.
Specks of golden light appeared across his skin, followed by layers of pale golden scales.
Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression brightened; this was precisely the precursor to the awakening of the Golden Crocodile martial soul.
Soon, Jin Chen's entire body was covered in scales, and a tail wrapped in golden scales sprouted from his lower back.
Afterward, he let out a furious roar toward the sky as the phantom of the Golden Crocodile martial soul manifested behind him.
The martial soul awakening was a success, and Jin Chen successfully inherited Golden Crocodile Douluo's martial soul.
"Good! Excellent! My Golden Crocodile has a successor!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo laughed heartily toward the heavens. His life's work could finally be inherited, and by his own grandson at that.
"Xiao Feng, test your soul power."
Qian Daoliu handed over the crystal ball.
This time, the crystal ball similarly erupted with blinding light; although inferior to Qian Renxue's, it still reached a full rank nine.
"Jin Chen, martial soul Golden Crocodile, Innate Soul Power Rank Nine!"
"Second Brother, congratulations."
Innate Rank Nine Soul Power meant Jin Chen would not lag behind anyone in cultivation. With Golden Crocodile Douluo's unreserved teachings and rigorous tempering from a young age, Jin Chen might not break through to rank ninety-eight in the future, but surpassing rank ninety-five was an absolute certainty.
"Congratulations to you too!"
Tears of joy welled up in Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes as he looked at the familiar Golden Crocodile martial soul. This was the happiest moment he had experienced in all these years.
Being a child at heart, Jin Chen quickly ran over to Qian Renxue and Ling Feng.
"Little Jin, you're not bad. I'll let you be my number one lackey from now on."
"What about Xiao Feng?"
Jin Chen asked.
Among the three of them, the previous hierarchy had always placed Qian Renxue first, Ling Feng second, and him third.
"As for Xiao Feng... we'll see. If he has Innate Full Soul Power, then you're just a little scumbag."
"Xiao Feng, go awaken your martial soul already!"
Qian Renxue urged.
"Go on."
Tuoba Yue'er also comforted him.
"Don't feel any pressure. No matter what, you are Mom's precious son."
Ling Feng stepped forward to pay his respects to the various elders, not forgetting Qian Xunji.
After all, Qian Xunji had not treated him poorly in this lifetime; in fact, he had been quite good to him.
"Greetings, Grandpa Elders, Uncle Qian."
"You rascal Ling Feng, you better awaken an Innate Full Soul Power to set an example for Little Jin."
Golden Crocodile Douluo teased.
"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, I'll do my best."
Qiangu Lingfeng entered the Awakening Formation and took a deep breath.
Innate Full Soul Power? He didn't dare to be certain; he would be quite satisfied with just a rank nine.
Ling Feng stood within the formation, but for a long time, there was no reaction.
^Eldest Brother, increase the soul power.^
Qianjun and Jiang Mo couldn't help feeling a bit nervous as they urged him on.
"Alright!"
Qian Daoliu exerted his power once more, and only then did Ling Feng feel a tingling sensation spread from his right hand.
A tool martial soul?
He opened his right hand, and a martial soul manifested in his palm. It was none other than the Coiling Dragon Staff, except this Coiling Dragon Staff displayed two completely distinct colors of black and gold.
"It's the Coiling Dragon Staff! But it looks like two dragons are coiled around the staff!"
Qianjun Douluo exclaimed in shock.
At that moment, Ling Feng also received the information regarding his martial soul.
It was indeed the Coiling Dragon Staff, but this was not his true martial soul; rather, it was akin to a companion divine artifact.
His true martial soul was the pair of dragons slumbering upon the Coiling Dragon Staff.
"Grandpa Qian, my martial soul hasn't fully awakened yet. It requires more soul power."
Qian Daoliu raised an eyebrow. Has it not fully awakened yet?
He was somewhat surprised, for the quality of this Coiling Dragon Staff coiled with two dragons was already higher than his father's Dark Coiling Dragon Staff.
If it fully awakened, what kind of terrifying martial soul would it be?
As soul power continuously poured in, the Coiling Dragon Staff finally reacted.
One of the slumbering golden dragons flew away from the staff body and attached itself behind Ling Feng.
Simultaneously, Ling Feng felt changes taking place within his body.
Dragon horns grew upon his head, his palms transformed into claws, and a tail sprouted from his back.
"This is the legendary Radiant Sacred Dragon martial soul!"
