Exposing Martial Soul, Breaking Through to Soul Elder

Luo Chen felt a bit helpless. It seemed that although this matter was no longer that important in Qian Daoliu's mind, subconsciously, he still truly believed that Luo Chen was a child of the Qian Family.

There was no helping it. Even though Luo Chen felt a bit awkward, since Qian Daoliu had treated him this way, he couldn't very well refuse him directly. In the end, he nodded helplessly and spoke softly:

"Grandfather."

This single word, "Grandfather," went straight to Qian Daoliu's heart. The smile on his face grew visibly wider.

Luo Chen, however, was noncommittal. He was actually very clear-headed; although he felt a bit awkward, he knew that acknowledging Qian Daoliu as his grandfather was not a loss at all.

After all, he was a level 99 Limit Douluo—the ultimate backer. As long as the gods didn't appear and he didn't provoke those ancient soul beasts, Luo Chen could basically walk sideways across the entire continent.

After preparing some daily necessities for Luo Chen and getting him completely settled, Qian Daoliu left.

It was already late at night, so it didn't take long for Luo Chen to fall asleep.

He needed to conserve his energy; tomorrow, there was an even more important "coincidence" that he needed to manufacture in a very "accidental" way.

The sun and moon rotated, and soon it was the next morning.

Luo Chen rose early and put on the clothes Qian Daoliu had prepared for him the night before.

It was a long robe, white in color with gold thread embellishments.

It had to be said that Qian Daoliu had excellent taste in this regard. The moment he put it on, Luo Chen felt that the temperament he exuded had instantly improved by several grades.

After confirming that everything was in order, Luo Chen walked out of the room.

Qian Daoliu was already waiting for him in the hall outside the room.

There was a brown wooden table there, and Qian Daoliu was sitting in front of it, with breakfast already laid out and still steaming.

Seeing Luo Chen emerge, Qian Daoliu smiled and waved him over, gesturing for him to sit by his side.

"Good morning, Grandfather."

Luo Chen greeted him naturally, which couldn't help but make Qian Daoliu laugh again.

A few minutes later, watching Luo Chen wolfing down his food at the table, he thought of Qian Renxue.

He had already made up his mind that in a while, he would have Qian Renxue return to meet Luo Chen formally.

Qian Daoliu spent the entire breakfast thinking about this matter.

In the end, it was Luo Chen's voice that pulled him back to reality.

"Grandfather? Grandfather? There is something I don't know if I should tell you."

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu shook his head with a smile, looking at Luo Chen kindly.

"Chen'er, just tell me whatever is on your mind."

"Did you not sleep well, or do you have any requests? Just ask, and I will have someone change things for you."

Luo Chen was silent for a moment, then put on a conflicted expression. Finally, under Qian Daoliu's puzzled gaze, he left his seat and stood up.

Right in front of Qian Daoliu, he raised his left hand.

At first, Qian Daoliu didn't understand what he meant, but the next second...

"!!!"

Golden holy light filled the grand hall. Six golden wings sprouted from behind Luo Chen, and a sacred Angel Statue phantom hovered steadily behind him.

"Six-Winged Angel!!"

Qian Daoliu slapped the table and stood up in shock, looking at Luo Chen and the Six-Winged Angel martial soul he had released with utter disbelief.

"Chen'er, your martial soul..."

If he remembered correctly, the information on Luo Chen stated that his martial soul should be the Death Spider Emperor, just like Bibi Dong.

Could it be?

"Grandfather, I awakened this last night."

"As for the source, I suspect it has something to do with the golden light spots in the secret room yesterday."

Luo Chen spoke "nervously," his words revealing a sense of being at a loss.

"Chen'er, don't be nervous, Chen'er! This is a God-Given Martial Soul!!"

Qian Daoliu's voice trembled slightly. He gripped Luo Chen's shoulders in excitement, his eyes filled with indescribable joy.

Luo Chen had actually obtained a second martial soul personally bestowed by the Angel God—the Six-Winged Angel!

Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Luo Chen nodded gently.

"Grandfather, will this martial soul have any negative impact on me?"

Doing this was mainly to add another layer of insurance for himself, making Qian Daoliu trust him even more.

With the anomaly of the Angel Statue yesterday and the God-Given Martial Soul appearing today, in Qian Daoliu's heart, he should now be completely tied to the Angel God lineage.

This counted as a double guarantee he had set for himself.

For the next hour, Qian Daoliu earnestly explained to Luo Chen what the Six-Winged Angel and the God-Given Martial Soul represented.

Luo Chen listened with great focus; this was the truth.

After all, the original records contained very little about these things, and learning more about his own martial soul would be quite helpful for him right now.

Until the explanation concluded, Qian Daoliu could still hardly contain the joy in his heart, unable to resist pulling Luo Chen into the secret chamber once more to offer prayers.

This time, Luo Chen participated as well, though only in some simple ceremonial rites; the rest was actually completed by Qian Daoliu alone.

Afterward, Qian Daoliu let Luo Chen leave, telling him he could return to cultivate on his own, and if he had any questions, he could come find him directly or wander around the Worship Hall as he pleased, as long as he did not leave Worship Mountain.

Luo Chen walked away quite tactfully, though on the way back to his room, he ran into the Second Worship, Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"Second Worship..."

"Just call me Grandpa Golden Crocodile."

Luo Chen had just wanted to greet him when he was heartily interrupted by Golden Crocodile Douluo.

He figured that since he had already called Qian Daoliu "Grandpa" last night, he might as well just change how he addressed him.

"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, you're here to see Grandpa, right? He's in the secret chamber."

Luo Chen smiled and pointed the way for Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo laughed heartily, praised Luo Chen a few times, and told him that if he had any questions during his cultivation, he could come find him, before heading straight toward the secret chamber.

Luo Chen guessed there must be something he needed to report to Qian Daoliu, but he didn't ask any questions and returned directly to his large room.

Qian Daoliu had specifically told him earlier that the fact he possessed two martial souls must not be told to anyone at this stage, so he hadn't mentioned it when he just ran into Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Back in his room, the bored Luo Chen had no choice but to enter a state of cultivation.

He was in the Worship Hall now, and with no worries to hold him back, it was the perfect place to devote himself to cultivation.

Days passed by quickly, and his cultivation level grew steadily; during this time, he also took the opportunity to report the matter regarding Xiao Wu to Qian Daoliu.

And so, two months passed.

From the secret chamber used for seclusion in the Worship Hall, Luo Chen slowly stepped out from the stone door, his entire being radiating an icy, deathly aura.

Level 30, Soul Elder, achieved!

"I wonder what kind of spirit ring Grandpa has prepared for me."
