Douluo: Shocked, the Most Beautiful Bride Qian Renxue!

The Contra clapped his hands rapidly, sending his soul power toward the six stones. They erupted in golden light, forming a barrier that enveloped Li Jiutian, who stood in their center.

Li Jiutian swallowed hard, and at that very moment, a familiar voice echoed in his mind.

[Top-tier divine Martial Soul "Six-Winged Angel" detected. Does the host wish to replicate it?]

"Must replicate!"

[Martial Soul "Six-Winged Angel" successfully replicated and evolved into "Eight-Winged Angel." It has been added to the system panel.]

[Friendly reminder: As you possess twin Martial Souls, you may replicate one more. Do you wish to choose now?]

Li Jiutian pondered for a long time before deciding, "Not for now."

The Martial Soul Replication System had an effective range of only 500 meters; beyond that, it could not sense the Martial Souls of others.

On the Douluo Continent, the only Martial Soul more powerful than the Six-Winged Angel was the Clear Sky Hammer. Li Jiutian decided to find an opportunity to get close to Tang San in the future and replicate the Clear Sky Hammer as his second Martial Soul.

After all, the system could only permanently store two main Martial Souls. Once those were filled, any further replications of others' souls would be limited by usage counts and durations.

At that moment, Li Jiutian felt a surge of immense power flooding his body, and an Eight-Winged Angel, dozens of meters tall, suddenly manifested behind him!

The Eight-Winged Angel radiated intense golden light, its four pairs of wings hovering in mid-air. Though it had not yet condensed into a physical form, the divine aura it emitted made people want to prostrate themselves in worship.

The weather over the Spirit Hall suddenly shifted, and a violent gale began to howl.

A dazzling pillar of light descended from the sky, landing on Li Jiutian. He was encased in a shimmering shield, and his pupils slowly turned gold.

Except for Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, and a few others, everyone else dropped their weapons and knelt in pious prayer at the sight of the towering, holy angel.

After all, the deity worshipped by the Spirit Hall was the Six-Winged Angel, and since Li Jiutian had awakened an Eight-Winged Angel, how could they not be stirred?

"Could this child also possess the bloodline of the Angel clan? Elder Ju, investigate his background thoroughly for me!"

Bibi Dong spoke to the man beside her, a flash of imperceptible malice crossing her eyes.

"I remember Grandfather saying that it was impossible for anyone outside the Angel lineage to awaken the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, let alone an Eight-Winged one. This... how is this possible!"

Qian Renxue was stunned for a long time before she regained her senses, her worldview shaken.

After about ten minutes, the radiance of the Eight-Winged Angel slowly faded until it vanished into nothingness.

Li Jiutian opened his golden eyes and said, "Shall we proceed to the soul power test now?"

"Just place your palm on this crystal ball!"

The Contra stood up, his voice trembling with excitement.

Whoosh.

A sound of wind breaking echoed from afar.

Immediately after, three golden figures streaked over from the distance.

"Grandfather, why have you come?"

Seeing the middle-aged man in the lead, Qian Renxue greeted him happily.

The arrivals were none other than the Great Elder Qian Daoliu, the Second Elder Golden Crocodile Douluo, and Demon-Subduing Douluo.

"Granddaughter, you have truly brought back a peerless genius. While I do not know how he awakened the Angel Martial Soul, if we nurture him well, he will surely achieve great things!"

"If I am not mistaken, his soul power should be the same as yours—innate full soul power of level 20. I have come today to take him as my first closed-door disciple!"

Qian Daoliu spoke with rare excitement, his gaze toward Li Jiutian burning with fervor.

When Li Jiutian placed his hand on the crystal ball, it instantly exploded with a blinding, dazzling light!

The light persisted for a long time before a loud "Bang!" rang out—the crystal ball had shattered!

"Heavens! It really is innate full soul power of level 20. Aside from the Young Mistress, I have never seen such a talent!"

After saying this, the Contra was so moved that he burst into tears.

Such a genius, yet he cannot be used by me. What a pity!

Bibi Dong sighed deeply, glanced at Qian Daoliu, and then turned to leave, unwilling but resigned.

I didn't expect an unexpected harvest. After the Martial Soul awakening, I also gained an incredibly powerful ocular technique: the Shining Golden Eyes!

These Shining Golden Eyes have three realms. Although I am currently at the first, it is already extremely formidable.

First, nothing within a 5-kilometer radius can escape my sight! I can also see through all disguises used by soul beasts or soul bone skills. It's somewhat similar to the Fiery Eyes.

Li Jiutian felt smug, unable to stop himself from grinning.

"I didn't expect you to have innate full soul power of level 20, just like me. Congratulations, you are now an official Soul Master!"

At this moment, a cool, aloof voice came from behind him—it was Qian Renxue.

"I didn't expect my talent to be so high either. By the way, may I call you Sister?"

Li Jiutian feigned humility before asking tentatively.

"Hm? Sure. Wait... call me Sister?"

Qian Renxue snapped out of her thoughts, looking at Li Jiutian in confusion.

Chapter 3: Obtaining the First Soul Ring, Instantly Killing the Sharp-Clawed Hunting Falcon!

"Sigh, ever since my parents met with an accident on the road that night, I've had no family left. Would you be willing to be my sister, my very first family member?"

Li Jiutian blinked his large eyes and said earnestly.

"Alright, then I shall take you in as my little brother."

Qian Renxue felt a lump in her throat; perhaps she felt a resonance because the little boy before her shared a similar fate to her own.

"Thank you, Sister. What shall we do next?"

Li Jiutian said softly, then thought to himself:

I'll build a relationship with Qian Renxue first, then slowly win her over later.

Since the heavens have allowed me to be reborn on the Douluo Continent, I will not let tragedy repeat itself!

Tang San, even though you are an out-and-out cheater, in this life, you are destined to be trampled under my feet!

Anyone who has read the original Douluo work understands that Qian Renxue belongs to the top tier of goddesses, yet she ended up with her godhood shattered—all thanks to that hypocritical Tang San!

The Tang San in the original work was no saint. When Li Jiutian first read it, he wondered why so many people liked him. To give a simple example:

When Ning Rongrong and Oscar lost all their soul power to resurrect Tang San, and after Tang San won, Ning Rongrong's two grandfathers died for him, yet Tang San did not resurrect them.

Tang San forbade the Spirit Hall from killing hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, yet he killed plenty himself—the three ants, the Evil Demon Orca King, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and so on.

If this isn't the definition of a scumbag and a hypocrite, what is?

Qian Renxue stroked Li Jiutian's small head and said gently:

"Let's go. I'll take you to see my grandfather first. You are his very first disciple, after all."

"Also, soul masters are divided by ranks. You are already a Great Soul Master."

"Levels 1-9 are called Soul Scholars, 10-19 are Soul Masters, 20-29 are Great Soul Masters, 30-39 are Soul Elders, 40-49 are Soul Ancestors, 50-59 are Soul Kings, 60-69 are Soul Emperors, 70-79 are Soul Saints, 80-89 are Soul Douluos, and 90-99 are Titled Douluos."

"After breaking the 99-level limit and reaching level 100, one becomes a true god, but so far, there has been no precedent on the Douluo Continent for breaking through level 100."

"I see. I will definitely become a god in the future!"

Li Jiutian said with a serious expression.

"Then you must work hard. I wish for you to become a god soon."

Qian Renxue said dotingly, then took Li Jiutian's small hand and walked toward the Elder Hall.

In front of the Elder Hall gates.

This Elder Hall was far more magnificent and dazzling than the Pope Hall.

Qian Renxue suddenly stopped in her tracks, as if pondering something.

"Sister, aren't you coming in with me?" Li Jiutian scratched his head in confusion.

"I have to make a trip to the Heaven Dou Empire now, so I won't be going in."

After saying this, Qian Renxue spread her angel wings and flew off in a hurry.

I almost forgot, she is currently lurking in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, playing the role of Xue Qinghe. She's probably afraid of being suspected if she returns too late.

Li Jiutian suddenly realized, then pushed open the main hall doors and met this 99th-level peerless Douluo.

Qian Daoliu wore a suit of bright golden armor and had long white hair, yet his face looked like that of a man in his forties. One could never tell he was an old man over a hundred years old; just standing there, he possessed an aura that commanded respect without anger.

"Greetings, Great Protector!"

Li Jiutian took the initiative to greet him; this was his future grandfather, after all, so he couldn't afford to be slack.

"Hmm. I was present during your soul awakening. You are indeed a genius to have awakened the Eight-Winged Angel martial soul."

"If nurtured properly, your future achievements might even surpass those of my precious granddaughter. I called you here to ask: would you like to be my closed-door disciple?"

Qian Daoliu said coldly. If Li Jiutian dared to say no, he would not hesitate to eliminate him on the spot.

"I am willing. Master, please accept your disciple's kowtow!"

Li Jiutian knelt on the ground and performed three kowtows.

"Ah! Good disciple, get up quickly! The Spirit Hall has gained another pillar of the nation!"

"I hope to see you enter the Elder Hall soon!"

After Qian Daoliu helped Li Jiutian up, the more he looked at him, the more delighted he became.

"By the way, Master, I haven't obtained my soul rings yet. Could you accompany me to hunt soul beasts?"

Li Jiutian asked curiously.

Qian Daoliu laughed and said, "You little one really can't sit still. No time like the present; I will accompany you to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts now. We can reach the Star Dou Great Forest in two minutes!"

After speaking, Qian Daoliu released his Six-Winged Angel martial soul, and Li Jiutian sat in the palm of its hand.

In less than half an incense stick's time, they arrived at the center of the Star Dou Great Forest.

As expected of Qian Daoliu, his speed is truly no exaggeration. On the Douluo Continent, the strong are respected; I must become stronger as soon as possible!

After absorbing the first and second soul rings, it seems I must go to Notting Academy soon to hurry up and copy the Clear Sky Hammer!

Li Jiutian followed behind Qian Daoliu, lost in thought.

The Star Dou Great Forest was a vast, primeval woodland with complex terrain, including wetlands, swamps, and more.

At this moment, the two were in the heart of the forest. Powerful ten-thousand-year soul beasts surrounded them, but with a peerless Douluo like Qian Daoliu present, they dared not act recklessly.

Qian Daoliu retracted his martial soul and spoke:

"The Six-Winged Angel martial soul is a top-tier divine martial soul by nature. Logically speaking, it cannot be awakened without the Angel lineage, yet you have awakened the Eight-Winged Angel martial soul."

"Although I do not know how you managed to awaken the Eight-Winged Angel, its quality is undoubtedly higher than that of the Six-Winged Angel!"

"My granddaughter's first soul ring was a hundred-year ring, but I want you to absorb a thousand-year ring for your first and a ten-thousand-year ring for your second. Do you have the confidence to succeed?"

"I certainly do!"

Li Jiutian replied, his eyes flickering with a faint golden light as everything within a five-kilometer radius came into full view.

"Little one, your first soul ring has been found!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Qian Daoliu's mouth.

"Master, I don't see any soul beasts around here that are suitable for me!"

Li Jiutian asked, somewhat puzzled.

At this, Qian Daoliu pointed a finger toward the sky.

Li Jiutian looked up and discovered a massive eagle, five meters in length, soaring through the air.

The eagle's talons were extremely sharp, and its feathers, in particular, looked as hard as iron plates.

"This is a thousand-year Sharp-Clawed Hunting Falcon; it is perfectly suited for your first soul ring!"

"Once I knock it down from the sky, you will be the one to deliver the fatal blow!"
