Qian Renxue Pushes Herself to the Limit, Determined to Break Through!

As for what Soul Rings she needed.

Qian Renxue had planned that out long ago, too.

In her previous life, the age distribution of her Soul Rings had been nearly perfect, calculated according to the most accepted standards.

Her First Soul Ring had been around four hundred years old.

Her Second Soul Ring had fallen just short of eight hundred years.

Qian Renxue had once believed that was the perfect combination.

But after meeting that person, she had discovered otherwise.

The human body could surpass its own limits.

The age distribution of her Soul Rings in her previous life had indeed been standard. It had indeed been perfect.

But only by the standards of ordinary Soul Masters.

Now that she had been reborn, was she supposed to be as mediocre as she had been in her previous life?

No!

Absolutely not!

She wanted to grow stronger.

She wanted to surpass everyone.

She wanted to surpass that person.

She could no longer follow the same unchanging path she had taken in her previous life.

She had to grow stronger, stronger still—stronger beyond measure.

She had to surpass her limits, just as he had!

So when Qian Daoliu asked her, Qian Renxue answered almost without thinking,

"Grandpa."

"I want a Light Butterfly around seven hundred years old for my First Soul Ring."

"And a Golden-Feathered Vulture around a thousand years old for my Second Soul Ring."

"Both Soul Beasts have light attributes, making them suitable for our Angel Clan's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul."

Only by adding Soul Rings with light attributes to every slot

could she bring the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul's power to its peak!

"What?"

Qian Daoliu was stunned. He waved his hands repeatedly.

"No!"

"Absolutely not!"

"Xiao Xue, do you know what seven-hundred-year and thousand-year Soul Rings mean?"

"The limit for an ordinary Soul Master's First Soul Ring is four hundred and twenty-three years. For the Second Soul Ring, it's seven hundred and sixty-four."

"What you're asking for is far beyond what an ordinary person can withstand!"

"Your body won't be able to take it. That vast surge of Soul Power will burst you apart!"

But Qian Renxue was just as resolute. She rose to her feet and said firmly,

"Grandpa."

"I can do it."

"You said those were the limits for ordinary Soul Masters, not mine."

"I can endure it. Only by enduring pain ordinary people cannot can I surpass them."

"To grow stronger, and for the glory of the Angel Family, I can do it."

At that moment,

Qian Daoliu was truly shocked.

He was deeply shaken by his granddaughter's resolve.

A six-year-old child wanted so fiercely to grow stronger that she was willing to wager her life on it.

After a long silence, Qian Daoliu finally agreed, though reluctantly.

"All right."

"If you've made up your mind, Grandpa will agree."

"But I have one condition. I must put you through special training first."

"You'll need a body strong enough to withstand Soul Rings of such advanced ages."

"Otherwise, they could easily burst you apart."

Qian Renxue understood that, of course.

It was even why she had come to him.

"Grandpa, that's why I came to you."

"I need special training. I need to strengthen my body as much as possible so it can contain more powerful Soul Rings."

Qian Daoliu sighed deeply, his heart heavy.

"Xiao Xue, if only your elder brother worked as hard as you."

"He's a boy. Physical strengthening training would suit him even better."

"What a pity. Sigh..."

"Forget it. Let's not talk about him."

In fact, shortly after returning, Qian Daoliu had made a special trip to Qian Renchuan's courtyard.

There, he had found the boy fast asleep in the yard again.

Qian Daoliu had been bitterly disappointed.

He had such remarkable talent.

Yet Qian Renchuan did not treasure it in the slightest.

Thankfully, the Angel Family still had Qian Renxue.

Hearing her grandfather's words, Qian Renxue frowned deeply, displeased.

She had not expected her elder brother to let everything she had said when they parted go in one ear and out the other.

He really was...

Mud that would never hold to a wall.

Qian Renxue's gaze turned cold.

She made up her mind: to spur her elder brother on, she would find a chance to give him a proper lesson.

She would make him understand that cultivating as a Soul Master took more than talent.

It took one hundred percent effort too!!!

Whatever Qian Renxue was thinking,

and however much she wanted to teach her talent-squandering elder brother a lesson,

she had only just awakened her Martial Soul. To obtain Soul Rings that would push past the limits of her body,

Qian Renxue moved into the Worship Hall the very next day.

There, she began a long, relentless course of Physical Body Enhancement training.

On the Back Mountain behind the Worship Hall,

the sun beat down with scorching heat.

Six-year-old Qian Renxue wore a thin training outfit.

With a heavy block of pig iron on her back, she struggled up the steep mountain path.

Sweat ran down her cheeks and struck the hot stones, vanishing in an instant.

But she showed no sign of wanting to give up.

Her lips were pressed tight.

Her resolve was unshakable.

The one conviction that kept her going was that she would surpass Tang San and kill him.

"Tang San."

"If you could withstand Soul Rings beyond the age limit, then I, Qian Renxue, can too!"

"I will never lose to you again!"

"I'll defeat you in the very field where you're most confident. I'll kill you and wash away my humiliation!!!"

Thud.

Qian Renxue missed a step. Her knee struck a rock hard, tearing the skin, and blood streamed from the wound.

Yet she showed no trace of pain.

This little pain

was nothing compared with what she had endured in her previous life.

Gritting her teeth, she scrambled to her feet and kept climbing.

At the mountain summit,

Qian Daoliu stood beside Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Watching his young granddaughter push herself to the brink halfway up the mountain, he felt a bitter ache in his heart, and Golden Crocodile Douluo felt the same.

"Grand Priest."

"Couldn't we let Xiao Xue rest for a while?"

"She's only six. She shouldn't have to..."

Golden Crocodile Douluo could not help speaking up, his heart aching for her.

They had watched all three of the Pope's children grow up.

Though the children had vastly different personalities and were unusually strange compared with ordinary children, they were still only children.

Especially Qian Renxue.

She was particularly close to the Worship Hall and precious to its elders. Seeing her suffer like this filled them with pity.

But Qian Daoliu shook his head.

"No."

"I've told her she can stop."

"Xiao Xue herself refuses to give up."

"That child works so hard it hurts to watch."

Once Golden Crocodile Douluo heard that Qian Renxue herself refused to stop, he had nothing more to say.

He could only gaze at her slight figure below, his heart full of pity.

Just then, Qian Daoliu suddenly asked,

"By the way."

"Did you pass by the Waterside Courtyard on your way here?"

The Waterside Courtyard was Qian Renchuan's residence, and he had named it himself.

Qian Daoliu had brought it up because he wanted to know what Qian Renchuan was doing now.

At the mention of the Eldest Young Master,

Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression turned complicated.

"The Eldest Young Master..."

"He's playing hide-and-seek with a few maids..."

Qian Daoliu went rigid, his face instantly darkening.

"That..."

"That little wretch..."

His voice was thick with the disappointment of a man who hated to see iron refuse to become steel.
