Deity-Bloodline Soul Beasts

"Innate Level-Twenty Full Soul Power?"

A worshipper whose robes were embroidered with Azure Luan patterns cried out, "Since ancient times, only direct descendants of the Angel Lineage have been able to awaken such talent!"

"Could this Asura Demon Sword truly be a God-Grade Spirit?"

The worshipper opposite him smiled mockingly. "Asura Demon Sword? That martial soul's name reeks of slaughter and evil. Even if it is a martial soul inherited from a Deity, it definitely does not belong to a righteous Deity."

"Don't you find this strange? While the martial souls of rural commoners can mutate, Spirit Hall has never recorded a mutation that directly reached the god-grade!" another worshipper said in a gruff voice.

As the worshippers discussed among themselves, Golden Crocodile Worshipper looked at the blond man and asked, "Chief Worshipper, what do you think?"

The blond man was none other than the Chief Worshipper, Qian Daoliu, a Rank Ninety-Nine Peerless Douluo.

Though he lived in seclusion, he was still Spirit Hall's Adjudication Elder. Whenever a threat to Spirit Hall emerged, he would act to eliminate it.

Now that a child with Innate Level-Twenty Full Soul Power had appeared, and he was a member of Spirit Hall, there was naturally no need to eliminate him.

But allowing such a prodigy to be raised by Bibi Dong would truly be a waste of talent!

"Chief Worshipper, I heard that woman Bibi Dong has exceptionally conferred the title of Holy Son upon Su Qi!"

"Back then, Ye Fan was promoted by Ji'er, which was why he remained wholeheartedly loyal to the Consecration Hall."

"Now that Bibi Dong values Su Qi so highly, she clearly intends to raise him into a sharp blade to keep you in check and oppose the Angel Lineage in the future!"

"Uncle Jin is right." Qian Daoliu slowly opened his eyes, sacred golden light flowing through them as he said coldly, "Therefore, we must find a suitable opportunity for that child named Su Qi to come into contact with the Consecration Hall."

"Or secretly assign him to Xiaoxue's side."

"What the Consecration Hall fears is nothing more than this child aiding Bibi Dong, leaving Xiaoxue unable to contend against them."

"But if we can transfer him under Xiaoxue's command and have him assist her, then we need not fear Bibi Dong seizing power!"

Upon hearing this, Golden Crocodile Worshipper and the other worshippers all nodded in deep agreement.

"However, I am curious. Why does this child named Su Qi possess Innate Level-Twenty Full Soul Power? A god-grade martial soul alone would not be enough; he would also need a Deity's blessing."

At this point, a delighted smile appeared at the corner of Qian Daoliu's mouth. "I must meet him someday."

"If my guess is correct, this child has likely already begun the trial of some Deity."

"If Xiaoxue gains this child's assistance, then when two inheritors of Deities join hands in the future, why would Spirit Hall's great cause fail to flourish?"

"A dual Deity inheritance?" The shock in Golden Crocodile Worshipper's eyes grew increasingly intense. "Heavens, Spirit Hall's fortune has become so prosperous. Could it be that the great Angel God has manifested?"

That afternoon, the sun hung high in the sky.

Within the Papal Palace lay an underground library.

Thousands upon thousands of ancient books stood in rows, and the fragrance of ink filled the air.

Su Qi stood alone before a row of bookshelves, flipping through countless ancient texts on soul beasts.

The Asura Demon Sword Martial Soul was overwhelmingly tyrannical. If he chose even one wrong soul ring, everything would be ruined later on, and he would ultimately be abandoned by the Shura God just like Tang Chen.

Therefore, he had to be exceedingly cautious.

Even though he had accumulated extensive knowledge of soul beasts in Spirit Hall Library during his previous life, Su Qi still felt that he needed to compare it against the ancient texts and ensure the soul beast information was accurate.

Only then could he add the most suitable first and second soul rings to the Asura Demon Sword Martial Soul.

The contents of the Asura First Trial bestowed by the Shura God were currently as follows: break through to the Rank Forty bottleneck within one year, ensure that every soul ring came from a top-tier soul beast, and absorb soul rings across ranks twice.

Only by meeting all three conditions could he complete the Asura First Trial and obtain the trial reward.

"Fortunately, Spirit Hall Library has such a profound foundation that it even contains information on soul beasts with Evil God Bloodlines, such as the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Finding information on mere top-tier soul beasts here will not be difficult."

"Thunderclap Hellvine possesses the Thunder God Bloodline. The Ice Scorpion King possesses the Ice God Bloodline. This Ice Scorpion King should be the Ice Jade Scorpion clan from the era of Douluo II."

"If I specifically absorb soul rings from soul beasts with Deity Bloodlines, could I complete the Asura First Trial beyond expectations and receive extra rewards?"

As he pondered this, Su Qi continued carefully reading the ancient soul beast texts.

Just then, soft footsteps sounded.

A woman with a seductive face and graceful figure entered the library. Her faint fragrance blended with the scent of ink, creating an unexpectedly refreshing aroma that lifted one's spirits.

She was Bibi Dong's personal disciple, Hu Liena.

With light steps, Hu Liena searched through the bookshelves, a troubled expression on her face.

She was looking for a book about domain abilities.

Ever since learning that both Su Qi and her teacher possessed domains, Hu Liena had subconsciously come to believe that domain abilities were standard equipment for the strong.

If she wanted to become a powerhouse like her teacher, she had to acquire a domain ability!

"What book are you looking for?" Su Qi asked as he looked at Hu Liena.

Hu Liena froze on the spot. She had been so focused on finding the book that she had not noticed the child standing before the bookshelf reading was actually Spirit Hall's newly appointed Holy Son.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Holy Son." Hu Liena took the initiative to greet him and answered honestly, "I want to learn more about domains."

"Domains? Knowledge of that sort is generally collected among the soul master books. You can look on the second floor, at the bookshelves to the left. If I remember correctly, there should be some there."

After hearing Su Qi's reminder, Hu Liena examined him for a moment, her eyes filled with surprise.

This Holy Son had only moved into the Papal Palace yesterday, and today was his first time entering the library.

How could he be more familiar than she was with where the books were kept?

Surely he could not have read through every book in the entire library in less than a single day?

Facing Hu Liena's surprised gaze, Su Qi smiled faintly. "I happened to glimpse that book while passing by earlier."

Hu Liena did not think much of it and suppressed her doubts.

She turned to head upstairs and retrieve the book, but her steps paused. She suddenly turned back to Su Qi and asked curiously, "By the way, Your Highness the Holy Son, have you decided which soul beast you will obtain your first soul ring from?"

Su Qi nodded. "I have."

"Then why are you still reading? Shouldn't you ask Ghost Elder to take you to obtain your soul ring as soon as possible?" Hu Liena reminded him.

Speaking in a childlike tone, Su Qi said, "Not yet. I have Innate Level-Twenty Full Soul Power. After absorbing my first soul ring, I can directly obtain my second soul ring. So I need to choose two soul beasts at the same time."

After hearing this, a trace of envy appeared in Hu Liena's eyes.

Absorbing two soul rings in succession and breaking through to a Two-Ring Great Soul Master at six years old.

With such cultivation talent, she would likely be left far behind in the future.

After a moment of silence, Hu Liena finally adjusted her mindset and smiled. "Your Highness the Holy Son, your talent is unparalleled throughout history. You must work hard in the future. Do not neglect your cultivation because of playfulness. Then let me congratulate you in advance on advancing to a Two-Ring Great Soul Master."

Su Qi smiled as well. "All right, thank you, Senior Sister."

After their brief exchange, Hu Liena turned and headed to the second floor to browse the ancient soul master texts.

Su Qi remained before the bookshelf, continuing to focus on selecting information about top-tier soul beasts.
