It Must Be the Angel God's Blessing

Beneath the massive statue of the Angel God in the Spirit Hall, a young girl with delicate features and golden hair led a middle-aged man, who also possessed golden hair but bore the marks of time, slowly toward the base of the statue.

The middle-aged man gazed up at the towering, majestic statue of the Angel God, his heart swelling with immense pride.

He bowed his body and spoke loudly toward the statue.

"Great Angel God, I am your follower, Qian Daoliu, the guide who inherits your divine position. Today, my granddaughter Qian Renxue will undergo her martial soul awakening; I humbly ask for your protection over her."

As the prayer concluded, Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renxue and spoke with great seriousness and solemnity.

"Xue'er, Grandfather will personally conduct your martial soul awakening. If anything happens during the process, you must tell me immediately; you must never try to endure it alone."

Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes revealed a look of determination as she gave her word to Qian Daoliu.

"Xue'er will remember, Grandfather. Please, proceed with the awakening for me!"

Qian Daoliu nodded and placed his hand on Qian Renxue's head, a gentle force flowing from his palm into her body.

Qian Renxue closed her eyes, feeling the power to be mild and comforting. Behind her, a blurry phantom gradually solidified, and soon, a golden-haired angel with six wings appeared at her back.

The angel slowly opened his eyes and looked around, somewhat bewildered. He couldn't figure out what had happened; wasn't he just writing his thesis a moment ago?

How did he end up in a dream after just blinking?

His name was Chen Qi, a senior at a third-rate university who had been pulling an all-nighter to finish his thesis.

Perhaps he had been too tired and drifted off for a moment, only to open his eyes in another world.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Under Qian Daoliu's watchful gaze, Chen Qi fiercely slapped his own face several times, his fair cheeks immediately turning red and swollen.

A stinging, burning pain shot straight to his crown.

Chen Qi was completely stunned. If he wasn't dreaming, why did it hurt? And why couldn't he wake up?

"Ding! Host successfully awakened. Heroine Cultivation System bound successfully!"

An electronic voice echoed inexplicably in Chen Qi's mind. Before he could figure out what was going on, the voice continued to drone on.

"Current bound target: Qian Renxue. Favorability: 0/1000. Please increase favorability as soon as possible, or you risk being erased."

Only then did Chen Qi notice the little girl with long golden hair in front of him. Hearing the name Qian Renxue from the system, he immediately realized he had arrived in the Douluo Continent.

Qian Renxue had kept her eyes closed for a long time, but Qian Daoliu remained silent.

This made the young Qian Renxue curious, so she turned around and opened her eyes, locking gazes with Chen Qi.

The two stared at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.

"Um, hello there."

"Ah! A ghost!"

Qian Renxue was startled and quickly hid behind Qian Daoliu, cautiously peeking at the martial soul that could speak.

Seeing Qian Renxue run away in fear, Chen Qi was at a loss. He scratched his head, just about to explain, when he was suddenly teleported right next to Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue slowly raised her head, saw Chen Qi's handsome face, and panicked in terror.

"Ah! Grandfather, help me!"

"Ding! Detected a change in Qian Renxue's favorability. Current favorability: -20/1000. Warning: Favorability is too low. Please bring it back to a positive number immediately, or the system will automatically erase the host."

Wait, this thing can go into the negatives?

The problem was, he hadn't done anything! How did it drop into the negatives?

Chen Qi thought frantically, a visible countdown of thirty seconds appearing above his head.

If he couldn't pull the favorability back up in thirty seconds, he would be erased.

In desperation, ignoring the ninety-nine-level Limit Douluo Qian Daoliu standing before him, Chen Qi grabbed Qian Renxue and said anxiously.

"Master, don't be agitated, I am your martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel!"

Martial soul, Six-Winged Angel?

Qian Renxue finally noticed the six huge wings growing from Chen Qi's back. Weren't they the very Six-Winged Angel martial soul inherited by her family?

"Ding! Detected a change in Qian Renxue's favorability. Current: -10/1000. Warning: Favorability is still too low. Please increase it immediately."

Seeing that his method actually worked, Chen Qi quickly drew upon the experience he had gained from playing dating sims back on Blue Star.

"So, Master, don't be afraid. I won't hurt you."

"Ding! Detected a change in Qian Renxue's favorability. Current: 10/1000. Favorability has returned to a normal level."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for reaching ten favorability. Reward: Bloodline Enhancement *1."

With only five seconds left, Qian Renxue's favorability had finally risen. He had almost become the man to speedrun the Douluo Continent in record time.

Chen Qi let out a sigh of relief and sat limply on the ground. An invisible, warm current surged from his dantian and quickly spread throughout his entire body.

Qian Daoliu, standing before them, had been wondering what was going on with Chen Qi. He had never heard of anyone awakening a martial soul that could speak.

Wait!

Perhaps this was a blessing from the Angel God, causing Xue'er's martial soul to evolve and gain human-like consciousness.

He thought this to himself, looking down at Chen Qi beneath him, certain that this must be a blessing from the Angel God.

Before he could even speak, Chen Qi's back was enveloped in a golden radiance. When the light dissipated, the six golden wings originally on his back had transformed into eight, making it the even rarer Eight-Winged Angel martial soul.

Qian Daoliu's belief that Chen Qi was blessed by the Angel God deepened; if this wasn't divine power capable of evolving a martial soul without anyone noticing, then what was it?

"Xue'er, the great Angel God must have taken a liking to your potential and specifically bestowed this blessing upon you, allowing your martial soul to gain sentience while simultaneously evolving!"

Qian Daoliu excitedly grabbed Qian Renxue by both arms, relaying the answer he had concocted in his own mind to her.

After hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Qian Renxue was even more confused. What kind of Angel God blessing could grant a martial soul life?

Off to the side, Chen Qi, who was just relieved to have survived, felt equally bewildered upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words.

What kind of Angel God could forcibly rip the soul of Chen Qi, a senior college student from Blue Star, out of his body and place it into a Six-Winged Angel martial soul?

If that were truly possible, wouldn't Blue Star have long since become a territory of the God Realm?

"Xue'er, come quickly and test your innate soul power."

Qian Daoliu brought over a crystal ball from the side and gestured for Qian Renxue to touch it.

The moment she touched it, the crystal ball emitted a blindingly bright blue light.

Even the usually composed Qian Daoliu couldn't help but widen his eyes at this sight.

"This is innate soul power level twenty! Xue'er has actually reached a level unprecedented and likely never to be repeated!"

Generally speaking, even top-tier geniuses only reached innate full soul power of level ten, and level twenty had never appeared before.

Qian Renxue's situation was extremely special; she had indeed been blessed by the Angel God, though the blessing only applied to her soul power.

"Haha! My granddaughter Qian Renxue has the potential to become a god!"

Qian Daoliu was incredibly excited. His granddaughter's martial soul had evolved, and her innate soul power had reached an absurd level; the Angel God must surely be grooming Qian Renxue as a successor.

The Angel God position that the Qian family had pursued for generations was finally about to bear fruit!

"Xunji, did you see that? Xue'er's talent is unparalleled in history; you no longer need to worry about her."

Qian Renxue's father, Qian Xunji, the legendary Chamber Douluo, had been killed by Bibi Dong not long ago.

On his deathbed, the thing Qian Xunji was most worried about was his daughter, Qian Renxue. If he could see this scene, he would surely be very happy.

"Xue'er, try retracting your martial soul."

Chen Qi's golden hair gradually turned black, and the eight golden wings on his back dissolved into specks of light.

Having lost these features, Chen Qi returned to his appearance from his time on Blue Star.

Qian Renxue was very confused to see that Chen Qi still existed.

She had clearly retracted her martial soul, yet Chen Qi remained and had not disappeared.

Even Qian Daoliu had never imagined that a martial soul could be impossible to retract.

Sensing their gazes, Chen Qi felt a bit nervous; he couldn't let them discover anything amiss, or he would be silenced.

"Master, please, you must not kill me!"

Qian Renxue: ???
