The Clear Sky Hammer Was Powerful, But Was My Six-Winged Angel Spirit Any Less Powerful?

A man with a hammer?

The Clear Sky Sect?

The Tang Family Father and Son?

Lin Tian never expected that Qian Daoliu, the foremost powerhouse in the sky, would be so afraid of the Clear Sky Hammer!

"Grand Elder, I've committed everything you said to memory. But there's one thing I can't fully agree to!"

"Oh? What is it?"

Qian Daoliu's interest was piqued. He turned to look at Lin Tian, curious to know what could make the boy try to bargain with him.

"Grand Elder, I believe our Spirit Hall is the strongest force in the world! Any power or individual that dares to offend Spirit Hall's dignity must be punished severely!"

"Back then, Angel God wielded the Holy Sword and slaughtered Evil Soul Masters across the Douluo Continent. She never feared whether her opponents had hammers! If I ever run into an evil person carrying a hammer, I'll fight them!"

"Grand Elder, you're a senior! Do you really think our Spirit Hall's Six-Winged Angel Spirit is inferior to a hammer spirit?"

Qian Daoliu hadn't expected the boy before him, who had only reached Soul Power Level 30, to say something like that.

That was right!

Why should he be afraid of the Clear Sky Hammer?

Was it really just as Lin Tian had said—that deep down, he feared the Clear Sky Hammer and thought the Six-Winged Angel Spirit wasn't as powerful?

Tang Chen, you son of a bitch!

Back then on Sea God Island, what gave you the right to swagger in front of me?

It was as if Lin Tian had struck a nerve. Qian Daoliu's expression shifted dramatically.

That was right. As Angel God's servant and the foremost powerhouse in the sky, why should he be afraid of a man with a hammer?

The Clear Sky Hammer was powerful, but how could the Six-Winged Angel Spirit be any less powerful?

"Lin Tian, remember this. When you're out gaining experience, fear no one! I don't care whether they're some nobody or some other stray dog. If they provoke you or our Spirit Hall, I'll stand up for you!"

"My name, Qian Daoliu's, is about time it was made known to the younger generation! Otherwise, they'll all forget that there are people in Spirit Hall they must show respect!"

Qian Daoliu's words breathed life into the long-dormant Worship Hall.

Even Jiang Mo and his brother Qian Jun, who had been practicing the Coiling Dragon Staff Technique in the Inner Hall, hurried over. They looked at Qian Daoliu, visibly excited.

"Grand Elder, are we going out to fight? We brothers will gladly lead the charge!"

"Grand Elder, I think Lin Tian's right. Other people have always been afraid of our Spirit Hall. Since when have we been afraid of anyone else?"

"If anything like that ever happens, we can just wipe them out with a wave of our hands! Spirit Hall has never needed to explain itself to anyone! That's our rule: strike first and report later, by special permission of Angel God!"

Seeing everyone grow more and more excited, Qian Daoliu could only wave them away and send them back to the Inner Hall to cultivate.

Lin Tian was going out to gain experience and improve his strength, not to pick fights.

As long as no one provoked him, it was best for Spirit Hall not to resort to killing so easily!

"You little rascal. A few short sentences, and you've got my blood boiling. Tell me, when are you planning to leave?"

"Today!"

Qian Daoliu knitted his brows, thinking the boy was being far too impatient.

"In such a hurry?"

"I slept very well in my bedchamber last night, and I'm full of energy now. I might as well set out today."

Qian Daoliu nodded.

As expected of the Dao Protector chosen by Angel God. Though still young, his thirst for strength far surpassed that of his peers.

That was a good thing, too. Only once the boy grew stronger could he protect Xiao Xue better.

After a moment's thought, Qian Daoliu's gaze suddenly softened. His eyes rested on Lin Tian, now brimming with anticipation.

"If you've made up your mind, then go! I believe Angel God will watch over you!"

Qian Daoliu walked up to Lin Tian and patted him on the shoulder, finally granting his request.

It seemed he would have to speed up his matchmaking efforts and get the two of them to meet sooner.

Qian Daoliu was very satisfied with Lin Tian.

With a grandson-in-law like him, the Angel Clan's revival was just around the corner.

After leaving the Worship Hall, Lin Tian headed straight for the exit of Spirit Hall without looking back.

The weather was fine, and he wanted to reach the outskirts of Star Dou Forest as soon as possible.

The Soul Beasts there were mostly around a thousand years old, making them ideal for his current training.

But just after Lin Tian left the Worship Hall and reached Spirit Plaza, he spotted a red figure waiting there.

It was his mother, the Pope, Bibi Dong!

She stood at one corner of Spirit Plaza, her beautiful face full of reluctance.

The previous night, Lin Tian and Bibi Dong had made a promise: he would spend three years gaining experience outside and strive to raise his Soul Power Level to 50.

When they met again, he would sneak into the Pope's Bedchamber at night!

Seeing the peerless beauty standing nearby, Lin Tian couldn't help walking toward her.

The Pope's wine-red gown outlined her graceful figure, and Lin Tian couldn't help feeling a stir in his heart.

But he didn't have time to savor this perfectly ripe peach just yet.

When he returned from his three years of training, he would make sure to bite into that peach and let its juice burst in his mouth.

"Mother, take care of yourself. Wait for me to return in three years!"

Hearing this, Bibi Dong nodded.

"Lin Tian, be careful while you're out gaining experience. People on the Douluo Continent can be complicated, so don't trust anyone too easily. I'll wait here in Spirit Hall for you to return safely!"

Before Lin Tian could react, she opened her arms and pulled the young man beside her into a tight embrace.

He caught the scent of gardenias in the Pope's arms. It was every bit as sweet as the fragrance in last night's dream.

Could it be that last night, he had...

At the thought, Lin Tian couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

"Lin Tian, when you come back, I'll reward you properly again..."

Perhaps Lin Tian's departure had made Bibi Dong a little sad. She leaned down and whispered softly in his ear.

When she finished speaking, a blush spread across her breathtakingly beautiful face.

Even the long, swanlike curve of her exposed neck had turned red.

"Don't worry, Mother. I'll come back safe and sound."

With that, Lin Tian turned and left.

Bibi Dong watched the child she had raised for nine years walk away, and couldn't help feeling reluctant.

But she knew all too well that going out to gain experience was an essential step on the path to becoming a true powerhouse.

Just then, Lin Tian, who was about to leave Spirit Hall, received a prompt for a new side quest.

[Ding! Side Quest—Three-Year Period.]

[Quest Requirement: During your three years of gaining experience outside, raise your Soul Power Level to the Soul King realm, Level 50.]

[Quest Reward: Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Soul Contract.]

[Soul Contract: You can bind a transformed Soul Beast as your servant and command it.]

Without hesitation, Lin Tian accepted the quest.

With the Soul Contract in hand, wouldn't he be able to keep Ah Yin confined by his side for his amusement...
