What, you want to give up your spot?

"What... exactly is going on here?"

Qian Daoliu rubbed his eyes thoroughly several times, yet the massive crater remained.

He had originally thought Qian Renxue was already powerful enough, possessing such strength with only two rings, but Chen Qi had caused this entire spectacle with a mere flick of his finger.

Anyone unaware would have thought a battle between three or four-ringed Spirit Masters had broken out.

Qian Renxue stared at the crater before her, unable to calm her racing heart for a long time.

She finally understood why she couldn't unleash the power within her body; it had run off into Chen Qi's body instead.

So, who exactly was the master and who was the Spirit?

How could the master be weaker than the Spirit!

System: I don't know either.

"Chen Qi, what is going on here?"

If you ask me, who am I supposed to ask?

Chen Qi hadn't expected his casual strike to be so powerful. If he had unleashed a full-strength blow, this entire forest would likely have been wiped out.

"System, do you know what's happening?"

"Ding, because the host is a Ten-Winged Angel, a being belonging to mythology, your origin transcends the Douluo Continent, which is why your power is so immense."

Chen Qi nodded. So that was it; it seemed the disparity in bloodline quality resulted in a massive difference in combat power.

If Qian Renxue were to become a Titled Douluo or even a god in the future, wouldn't she be able to single-handedly challenge the entire God Realm?

"That's not right, though. If I am Qian Renxue's Spirit, why is her strength so much lower?"

"Ding, because you are a Ten-Winged Angel while Qian Renxue is not. Her actual power is merely that of a Six-Winged Angel, which is slightly elevated compared to the original version because she is borrowing yours."

Chen Qi finally understood. It turned out that he was the one constantly growing stronger, while Qian Renxue was just a passenger riding his coattails.

Chen Qi remained silent for a long time, staring blankly while lost in thought.

Qian Renxue grew anxious, patted his thigh, and asked, "Hey, Chen Qi, what are you thinking about?"

Her pat snapped Chen Qi back to reality.

"Uh, perhaps it's because your current strength is still too weak, so you can't utilize all of my power."

Chen Qi continued to make things up symbolically; he couldn't very well say, "You are you and I am me, I am a Ten-Winged Angel and you are still a trashy Six-Winged Angel."

That would hurt her self-esteem too much. If she accidentally fell into a depression, wouldn't that be a disaster?

"Oh~ so that's it! Xue'er, Grandfather understands. Your current strength is still too weak to use the full power of the Ten-Winged Angel, while Chen Qi is an external Spirit, so he isn't restricted!"

Qian Daoliu understood once again, interpreting Chen Qi's fabrication and successfully twisting it into the "correct" answer.

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue felt as if she had awakened from a dream, looking at her own hands and shaking her head helplessly.

"One day, I will hold all that power in my own hands!"

Watching her like this, Chen Qi felt a bit uneasy. When she eventually cultivated to become a Titled Douluo and discovered she still couldn't use that power, how disappointed and desperate would she be?

"Chen Qi, don't just stand there! Hurry back with me to cultivate Spirit Power!"

Qian Renxue was filled with infinite fighting spirit, running back without a care, so fast that she couldn't even be stopped.

Chen Qi silently teleported behind her, and in no time, the two of them had vanished from sight.

Watching from behind, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but sigh.

"It's good to be young!"

In the Pope Palace, Bibi Dong sat on her throne, still wearing that nauseating, stern expression.

"Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, has Qian Renxue done anything these past few days?"

Gui Mei lowered his head and said respectfully, "Your Holiness, these past two days, the Young Mistress went to hunt for Spirit Rings with the Grand Elder, and today she went to test her Spirit Skills."

Bibi Dong nodded. She wasn't surprised by the hunting of Spirit Rings; what she wanted to know was how the Spirit Skills turned out.

"What are her Spirit Skills?"

"Your Holiness, the Young Mistress's Spirit Skills are Holy Purification and Holy Flame Scorch. One is a single-target skill, and the other is an area-of-effect attack."

This was very consistent with the Qian family's Spirit. The first two skills were always one single-target and one area-of-effect; as long as one wasn't foolish enough to absorb dark-attribute Spirit Rings, it was standard.

Yue Guan, standing to the side, hadn't spoken for a long time. He wanted to tell Bibi Dong something that would shock the entire continent.

"Yue Guan, do you have something to say?"

Bibi Dong noticed his hesitation and, curious about what he wanted to say, asked.

"Your Majesty, the Young Mistress's Spirit Rings are a bit different. They aren't two hundred-year Spirit Rings, but two thousand-year Spirit Rings."

Thump.

The Pope's scepter slipped from Bibi Dong's hand, her gaze turning dull as she fell into a state of disbelief.

It was one thing that Qian Renxue's martial soul had evolved and gained sentience, and her innate soul power of level twenty was still somewhat acceptable, but today you tell me that her first two soul rings are both thousand-year ones.

She has completely shattered all records regarding martial soul innate soul power and soul ring cognition.

What, are you trying to apply for a Guinness World Record? Getting three in one go, and in a few years, she'll be the youngest Title Douluo, and later she can just casually pick up the title of fastest to become a god.

Looking at it this way, Tang Hao breaking through to Title Douluo at forty-four is still too old; compared to Qian Renxue, he's practically an old man.

"Ah!! Why! Why are so many benefits given to that person, all given to the sinful Qian family, while I, Bibi Dong, only deserve a Rakshasa God position!"

Rakshasa God: Have I given you too much face!

Bibi Dong couldn't hold back and roared loudly, the volume making cold sweat break out on the backs of Yue Guan and Gui Mei.

They were terrified that if she got angry, she would kill them to vent her frustration.

"Your Highness, if there is nothing else, we will take our leave."

Having said that, they didn't care whether Bibi Dong answered or not, and with a whoosh, they left the place.

Bibi Dong was so angry that she nearly ground her back teeth to dust. It was one thing that the plan to trick Qian Renxue into going to the Heaven Dou Empire had failed, but now she had let her take all these benefits as well.

If she continued to let things slide, the world would likely fall into chaos.

"No, I must go threaten those old men right now to stay obediently in the Consecrated Hall and not come out. If I do that, I can bully Qian Renxue openly in the future."

Action followed thought; Bibi Dong immediately set off for the Consecrated Hall.

Outside the Consecrated Hall, the Second Consecrated, Golden Crocodile Douluo, was chatting with Qian Daoliu, who had just returned.

At this moment, they sensed a familiar aura approaching, and both turned their heads at the same time to see Bibi Dong walking toward them.

"Big Brother, isn't that Bibi Dong? Did the sun rise from the west today? She actually came to our Consecrated Hall in person."

Qian Daoliu narrowed his eyes as he watched her, the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong. Bibi Dong coming to his Consecrated Hall for no reason was truly too suspicious.

Given her personality, shouldn't it be that she would rather die than have any contact, and would rather go to an outhouse than step foot in your Consecrated Hall?

"She wouldn't be planning to give the Pope position to Xue'er, would she?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded in agreement upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words, and walked up to face Bibi Dong.

"You came to my Consecrated Hall today, what's up? Are you thinking of giving it up to little Xue?"

???

Bibi Dong's mind was filled with question marks; she didn't understand what Golden Crocodile Douluo was thinking.

How could she possibly give the Pope position to Qian Renxue? She was already being merciful by not finding trouble with Qian Renxue every single day, okay?
