An Unexpected Surprise: Qian Renxue Obtains an External Soul Bone! Another Reward: Qian Xunye's Strength Soars! [Please Keep Reading]

"Always stay by her side? Perhaps..."

Qian Xunye replied seriously, "Yes!"

"Thank you, Uncle. Thank you for appearing by Xiaoxue's side at a time like this." A radiant smile spread across Qian Renxue's face.

Having lost her father and suffered Bibi Dong's cold indifference, Qian Renxue had actually endured much pain. Yet Qian Xunye's arrival—despite him clearly being a Dark Angel—had been like a ray of light piercing through the gloom in 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 fell under his control.

His powerful spiritual perception quickly found a soul beast that suited Qian Renxue perfectly.

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

This 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 instantly filled with feathers from Qian Xunye's Dark Angel. Those feathers became incomparably hard and sharp, and in the next second, they all shot toward the Light Sacred Bird.

Pshht! Pshht pshht!~

The Light Sacred Bird screamed as it was struck from the sky. Its body was riddled with black feathers, and it was barely clinging to life.

"Xiaoxue, finish it quickly. It's about to die."

"Okay!"

Qian Renxue quickly stepped forward and finished off the Light Sacred Bird.

Then, she sat down nearby and prepared to absorb it.

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

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 at her side.

A moment later.

Qian Renxue's aura finally stabilized.

"Success. Her fourth soul ring is ten thousand years old!" Qian Xunye let out a long breath of relief as well.

Next, Qian Renxue's Soul Power began to surge wildly.

Level 41!

Level 42!

Level 43!

Qian Renxue's Soul Power rose by another three levels in succession!

But during this process.

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

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

"The system reward is here!"

Boom!

"I broke through!"

At 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 soul rings turned black!

His eighth soul ring even became black with a trace of red.

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

"Awesome! My strength has finally undergone a clear qualitative leap!" 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 high spirits.

"Once Xiaoxue obtains her fifth soul ring, my eighth soul ring will reach the hundred-thousand-year level as well."

Qian Xunye's combat power could now truly rival that of a level 96 powerhouse. He could even kill one in a one-on-one fight!

He withdrew his power.

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

"An External Soul Bone! Xiaoxue got an External Soul Bone!"

"Light Wings!"

Qian Renxue released the External Soul Bone. The wing-type External Soul Bone from the Light Sacred Bird fluttered behind her back, fitting perfectly with her angel wings.

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

"An External Soul Bone? Hah, that really is an unexpected surprise!" Qian Xunye laughed. He had truly never 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, it had no inherited External Soul Bone. These Light Wings were precisely the excellent item Qian Renxue had lacked.

"Not bad, Xiaoxue. You struck it rich this time. Put away your External Soul Bone and show Uncle what your fourth soul ring skill is," Qian Xunye said.

"Uncle, experience 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 shot forth and tightly bound Qian Xunye's limbs.

"First Soul Skill, Angel Assault!"

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

"Oh? You can use your fourth soul skill to restrain an enemy, then immediately activate another soul skill to attack? Not bad." Qian Xunye easily shook off the light threads and blocked Qian Renxue's fist with one palm.

"Most control-type soul skills only allow you to attack an enemy you have restrained with weapons or your fists and feet. But you can activate soul skills to attack instead."

"In that case, once you restrain an enemy and launch a powerful soul skill, they can only become a living target and wait to die."

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

A nine-year-old Soul Ancestor, with an External Soul Bone and four ten-thousand-year soul rings.

His niece was becoming more and more extraordinary.

"Alright, since we've obtained the soul ring, let's go."

"Mm-hm~"

Qian Xunye flew back toward the outer region with Qian Renxue.

But along the way, Qian Renxue's stomach suddenly started growling. She rubbed her little belly. "Uncle, Xiaoxue is hungry..."

Qian Xunye glanced at the sky. They probably 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?"

"Of course. They're delicious!"

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

"Sure. 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 rose from the boiling water!

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

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

"Instant noodles? They sound really tasty!~"

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

But there was no helping it. Food in the Douluo Continent was simply too lacking. Even casually prepared instant noodles from his previous life counted as the pinnacle of culinary delight here.

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

Seeing Qian Renxue finish another bowl in one go, Qian Xunye could not help teasing her. "Come on, Xiaoxue, you've already finished three bowls. You still want more? Aren't you afraid your stomach will burst?"

"Xiaoxue wants to eat more, Uncle. Cook one more bowl, okay? Just one last bowl! Please~" Qian Renxue clung to Qian Xunye's arm and acted coquettishly.

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