An Unexpected Surprise: Qian Renxue Gains an External Soul Bone! Qian Xunye Receives Another Reward and Greatly Increases His Strength!

"Stay by her side forever? Perhaps..."

Qian Xunye answered seriously, "Yes!"

"Thank you, Uncle. Thank you for appearing by Xiaoxue's side at a time like this." A brilliant smile blossomed on Qian Renxue's face.

Having lost her birth father and suffered Bibi Dong's cold indifference, Qian Renxue had been suffering deeply inside. Yet Qian Xunye's appearance—despite clearly being a Dark Angel—was like a ray of light illuminating the gloom within her heart.

After a long while, the two of them finally reached the inner region.

Qian Xunye immediately activated Dark Night Power, spreading his spiritual power ten thousand meters outward. Every movement within that range was under his control.

With the insight granted by his powerful spiritual power, Qian Xunye quickly discovered a soul beast perfectly suited for Qian Renxue.

"Found it! A ten-thousand-year Light Sacred Bird!"

This type of soul beast possessed powerful control abilities, and its attribute perfectly matched the light attribute of the Six-Winged Angel martial soul.

"Xiaoxue, this is the one!"

"Then I'll leave it to you, Uncle!~"

"Leave it to me!" Qian Xunye charged forward at once.

The ten-thousand-year Light Sacred Bird sensed the threat and immediately tried to flee.

"Trying to run? It won't be that easy!"

"Second Soul Skill, Dark Wings!"

The sky was instantly filled with the feathers of Qian Xunye's Dark Angel. Those feathers became incomparably hard and sharp, and in the next moment, they all shot toward the Light Sacred Bird.

Splat! Splat splat!~

The Light Sacred Bird shrieked as it was struck down on the spot, its entire body riddled with black feathers and barely clinging to life.

"Xiaoxue, hurry and finish it off. It's about to die."

"Okay!"

Qian Renxue quickly stepped forward and killed the Light Sacred Bird.

Then she sat down nearby, preparing to absorb it.

The ten-thousand-year soul ring slowly rose and descended onto Qian Renxue.

Her spiritual power and physique were both capable of withstanding a ten-thousand-year soul ring, but the absorption process was clearly difficult. Qian Xunye silently stood guard beside her.

A moment later.

Qian Renxue's aura finally stabilized.

"She succeeded. Her fourth ring is now ten thousand years!" Qian Xunye also let out a long breath of relief.

Next, Qian Renxue's soul power began soaring wildly.

Level 41!

Level 42!

Level 43!

Qian Renxue's soul power rose another three levels in succession!

But during this process.

The Good Big-Uncle System's voice rang out once more.

[Qian Renxue has obtained her fourth ring. Reward: all soul ring ages increased by ten thousand years, soul power increased by 1 level!]

"The system reward is here!"

Boom!

"I broke through!"

In that instant, Qian Xunye's soul power directly broke through from the peak of Level 91 to the peak of Level 92!

All of his soul rings changed at that moment.

His first four rings turned black!

His eighth soul ring was even black with streaks of red.

This meant that Qian Xunye's eighth soul ring was already infinitely close to the hundred-thousand-year level.

"Awesome! My strength has finally undergone an obvious qualitative transformation!" Looking at the rings beneath his feet—black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, red; eight black and one red—Qian Xunye was in an excellent mood.

"Once Xiaoxue reaches her fifth ring, my eighth soul ring will also enter the hundred-thousand-year level."

Qian Xunye's combat power could now truly rival a Level 96 powerhouse. He could even kill one in a one-on-one battle!

He withdrew his power.

Qian Renxue had also finished absorbing her fourth ring. Her face was filled with delight as she said, "Uncle, look!"

"An external soul bone! Xiaoxue got an external soul bone!"

"Light Wings!"

Qian Renxue released her external soul bone. The wing-type external soul bone from the Light Sacred Bird fluttered behind her back, perfectly matching her angel wings.

It was as though she had gained another pair of wings.

"An external soul bone? Ha, that really is an unexpected surprise!" Qian Xunye laughed. He truly had not expected such a pleasant surprise. "Xiaoxue, it seems our luck is pretty good!"

"Haha! It feels like Uncle is Xiaoxue's lucky star!" Qian Renxue was overjoyed.

Although the Six-Winged Angel Clan possessed inherited soul bones, they had no inherited external soul bones. These Light Wings were precisely the excellent item Qian Renxue had lacked.

"Not bad, Xiaoxue. You really struck it rich this time. Put away the external soul bone and tell Uncle what your fourth soul skill is." Qian Xunye asked.

"Uncle, feel it for yourself!"

"Fourth Soul Skill, Angel's Free Will!"

Qian Renxue unleashed her fourth soul skill, a control-type soul skill. Countless threads of angelic light flew out and tightly bound Qian Xunye's limbs.

"First Soul Skill, Angel Assault!"

Qian Renxue activated another soul skill and threw a punch at Qian Xunye, who was restrained by the light threads.

"Oh? After using your fourth soul skill to restrain an enemy, you can immediately activate other soul skills to attack? Not bad." Qian Xunye easily shook apart the light threads and blocked Qian Renxue's punch with his palm.

"Most control-type soul skills only allow you to attack an enemy after restraining them with weapons, fists, or kicks. But you can activate soul skills to attack instead."

"That means once you control an enemy and then launch a powerful soul skill, they can only become a living target and wait to die."

"Not bad. This soul skill is decent enough." Qian Xunye praised.

A nine-year-old Soul Ancestor, possessing an external soul bone and four ten-thousand-year rings.

His niece was becoming more and more extraordinary.

"Alright, now that we have the soul ring, let's go."

"Mm-hm~"

Qian Xunye flew Qian Renxue back toward the outer region.

But midway through the journey, Qian Renxue's stomach suddenly began growling. She rubbed her little belly. "Uncle, Xiaoxue is hungry..."

Qian Xunye glanced at the sky and estimated that they would not be able to leave the Star Dou Forest before nightfall.

Fortunately, they could spend the night in the outer region of the Star Dou Forest.

So, he stopped and landed. "Alright, then Uncle will cook you some noodles."

"Cook noodles? Uncle knows how to cook noodles too?"

"Of course. They're delicious!"

Qian Renxue's eyes lit up. "Really? Then Xiaoxue has to properly taste Uncle's cooking!"

"Fine, just wait and eat."

Qian Xunye shook his head with a smile and took out a pot, bowls, noodles, and seasonings from his spatial soul tool.

Then he started a fire and began cooking.

As the noodles and seasonings went into the pot, a rich fragrance already wafted from the boiling water!

Qian Renxue began drooling. "Wow! Uncle, what kind of noodles are these? They smell... so, so good~"

"Hehe, they're called instant noodles. You can only eat them here with Uncle!"

"Instant noodles? They sound really delicious!~"

"You little glutton, don't rush. They'll be ready in three minutes." Seeing Qian Renxue's impatient expression, Qian Xunye did not know whether to laugh or cry.

But it could not be helped. Food in the world of Douluo Continent was truly scarce. Even instant noodles, something so casually made in his previous life, counted as a top-tier delicacy here.

"Uncle, it's so good! This is too delicious! Xiaoxue wants more!~"

Seeing Qian Renxue finish another bowl in one go, Qian Xunye could not help teasing her. "No, Xiaoxue, you've already eaten three bowls. You still want more? Aren't you afraid you'll burst your stomach?"

"Xiaoxue wants to eat more. Uncle, can you cook one more bowl? Just one last bowl, okay? Please~" Qian Renxue hugged Qian Xunye's arm and coquettishly pleaded.

"Alright, alright. Uncle will cook you another bowl."
