Token of Love?! Gift of the Wind God!

Outside the Elder Hall of Martial Soul Hall.

Qian Renxue's long, straight, beautiful legs came to a sudden halt, the hem of her golden palace dress swaying slightly in the breeze.

Her brilliant golden hair shimmered in the sunlight, and her stunningly beautiful face was currently etched with utter astonishment.

Her pale purple eyes were locked onto the Sky Curtain, her small mouth slightly agape, looking completely bewildered.

"Me?"

Qian Renxue pointed at her own nose, her mind a complete blank.

Heart of the Wind God?

When had she ever possessed such a thing?

She fumbled around her person for a moment, then suddenly, as if recalling something, she hurriedly rummaged through a corner of her storage Soul Tool and pulled out a cyan-colored chess piece.

It was exactly the one displayed on the Sky Curtain.

It was the item that guy, who was always stumbling around clutching a wine bottle, had casually tossed to her.

What was it he had said back then?

"This thing is shiny; it'll match your golden hair perfectly. Take it as a trinket."

A trinket?

Qian Renxue looked at the chess piece in her palm, her mouth twitching uncontrollably.

This was a divine artifact that surpassed the Asura Demon Sword and ranked fourth on the Rare Treasure Ranking!

That guy called this a trinket?

Bibi Dong, standing to the side, was faring no better.

She was still gripping the scepter that symbolized the authority of the Pope, but at this moment, she nearly snapped it in two.

Bibi Dong's phoenix eyes were wide open, her gaze darting back and forth between Qian Renxue and the Sky Curtain.

"Where... did this come from?"

Bibi Dong's voice was somewhat dry.

She had calculated everything; she had accounted for the possibility that Qian Daoliu might have left a trump card for Qian Renxue, and she had accounted for the Angel God Armor.

The only thing she hadn't accounted for was that Qian Renxue possessed something that even surpassed a super-divine artifact.

She had hidden it well!

However, upon second thought, a complex emotion surged within Bibi Dong.

Although her relationship with Qian Renxue was rigid, with a formidable enemy currently at the gates, the pressure brought by Tang San's dual godhood was simply too overwhelming.

Now that Qian Renxue had this Gnosis of Wind, she at least had the capital to contend with Tang San head-on.

For the Spirit Hall Empire, this was absolutely a massive stroke of luck.

Atop the ramparts of Jialing Pass.

Tang San, who had been laughing wildly over obtaining the Asura Demon God Sword, had his laughter cut short like a duck being throttled.

The face that had been full of high spirits instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"Qian Renxue?"

"How could it be her again?"

The veins on the back of Tang San's hand, which was gripping the Asura Demon Sword, bulged, and his knuckles turned white from the excessive force.

He refused to accept it.

Why?

He was the chosen successor of the Asura God, holding the number one divine artifact of slaughter.

Yet, before he could even get comfortable, he was being overshadowed by Qian Renxue?

Could that piece of junk chess piece really be more powerful than the judgment of the Asura God?

"This is impossible!"

Tang San gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with gloom.

"The Asura Demon Sword is the supreme law-enforcement divine artifact of the God Realm; it is impossible for any object in this world to be stronger than it."

"There must be something wrong with this ranking!"

Yu Xiaogang, standing to the side with his hands behind his back, furrowed his brows tightly, staring fixedly at the cyan chess piece.

A look of contemplation appeared on his rigid face.

"San, don't be hasty."

"Look at this Heart of the Wind God; aren't the wind elemental fluctuations swirling around it very similar to the Vision from before?"

Reminded by Yu Xiaogang, the crowd finally realized it.

Indeed, that aura of wind elemental energy, pure to the extreme, was practically identical.

However, the Gnosis of Wind was far more vast and unfathomable.

"Teacher, are you saying..."

Tang San narrowed his eyes.

"This thing was also created by that so-called Wind God?"

Just as the entire continent was speculating, the Sky Curtain thoughtfully provided a detailed introduction.

The images shifted, and lines of golden text emerged.

[Gnosis of Wind]

[Description: This item is the proof of the Seven Sovereigns of the Mortal World and the embodiment of the Wind God's authority. It contains vast, boundless divine power, allowing the holder to communicate directly with all wind elements between heaven and earth.]

[Trait: Divine Power Amplification. When activating the Gnosis, the holder can temporarily receive the blessing of the Power of the Wind God and borrow the authority of a deity!]

Seeing this, everyone gasped in unison.

Borrowing the power of a deity?

This wasn't just some magical treasure; it was a portable power bank of divine energy!

And it belonged to that mysterious and unpredictable Wind God, no less!

However, the following scene was the real highlight.

In the Sky Curtain, there were no earth-shattering battle scenes.

Instead, the image was somewhat hazy.

On a night with a gentle moon.

A youth dressed in green smiled as he tossed it to the blonde girl standing before him.

Though the youth's face could not be seen clearly, everyone could feel his sense of freedom and unrestraint.

[Special Note: This is a gift bestowed by the Wind God upon his beloved; it is both a protective treasure and a token of love.]

As soon as this note appeared, the entire Douluo Continent instantly erupted.

A token of love?

This Gnosis of Wind was actually a token of love?

Doesn't that mean that the mysterious Wind God and the young mistress of the Martial Soul Hall, Qian Renxue...

This piece of gossip was too massive, so large that it was hard to digest.

Godwind City, City Lord Mansion.

"Clang!"

The teacup in Shui Bing'er's hand fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

She stared blankly at the Sky Curtain, then looked down at the Wind God Vision hanging on her chest.

The joy she had felt from the evolution of her Vision vanished without a trace.

An emotion called "jealousy" spread wildly within her heart.

"Te... Teacher?"

Shui Bing'er bit her lip, her eyes turning red.

Beside her, Shui Yue'er jumped up, pointing at the Sky Curtain and shouting.

"Why!"

"Who is that woman? Why would Teacher give such a precious thing to her?"

"A token of love? I refuse to accept this!"

"I want to be the mistress too!"

Bai Chenxiang also held her face, looking completely incredulous.

"Teacher usually seems so unreliable, so... so he likes this type?"

"A blonde mature woman..."

"But Teacher, we aren't bad either!"

For a moment, the entire plaza was filled with the clamor and resentment of the female disciples.

The male disciples looked at each other, shrinking their necks and not daring to speak.

The atmosphere of this Asura field was too heavy; whoever dared to interrupt now would likely be torn apart by these young ladies.

On the side of the Martial Soul Hall, the atmosphere was even more bizarre to the extreme.

Qian Renxue's originally fair and pretty face instantly flushed crimson as she looked at the note, the blush spreading all the way to her earlobes.

Her heart pounded wildly, as if it were about to leap out of her throat.

"A... a token of love?"

The hand holding the Heart of God trembled slightly, her palm growing sweaty.

Her mind was a jumble of emotions.

There was shyness, shock, but more than anything, a sweetness and joy she had never experienced before.

In his heart, am I special?

He just gave me something so precious so casually?

What does this mean?

Is this a confession?
