Qian Daoliu's Fury

Inside Spirit Hall Academy.

Tianyue walked with her head held high these days. Golden Crocodile Douluo had chosen to give her the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.

Her Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul hadn't evolved, but all its attributes had improved considerably. Her Soul Power Level had jumped straight from Level 32 to Level 38. Level 38 Soul Power at twelve years old—no one would believe it.

Oh, wait. There was someone even more outrageous: Bai Ranmo, the current Worship Hall Saint Son, who had reached Level 29 at the age of six.

Zhao Yunxiao's Soul Power Level had also reached Level 37. Together with Sun Chuantao, who was Level 18, the four of them had become the Worship Hall's Golden Generation.

"Well, well, if it isn't that furry freak! Did you hear I got a reward from the Great Enshrined and reached Level 38? My foundation's perfectly fine, and my talent even improved. What do you say—want to spar?" Tianyue grinned, taunting Hu Liena as she happened to pass by.

Tianyue didn't know what "furry freak" meant, but she had heard Bai Ranmo mutter it to Hu Liena once. It hadn't sounded like a compliment, so she'd picked it up.

Hu Liena's face stiffened. Without a word, she stalked away, her expression dark.

Tianyue's defense was absurdly strong now. Hu Liena's Charm still worked on her, but even if Tianyue stood still and let Hu Liena attack, Hu Liena couldn't break through her defenses.

The four of them had become the Four Bullies of Spirit Hall Academy. Whenever someone from the Pope Hall faction rubbed them the wrong way, they called that person over and beat them up.

Their attitude was simple: if you didn't like it, keep it to yourself.

Could Bibi Dong do anything about it? Not a thing.

Lately, she hadn't even dared to see her own disciple. The punch infused with Angel Power that had landed on her face—now that she was effectively an Evil Soul Master—had left injuries she couldn't heal with Soul Power in just a few days.

Her beautiful face had been beaten swollen as a pig's. And because she didn't want a Healing-Type Soul Master to see her like that, she hadn't sought treatment.

Qian Daoliu truly hadn't held back when he beat her. He had gone for the kill in every sense of the word. After all, Bibi Dong's Ninth Soul Skill was Immortal Body.

Bibi Dong later heard that Bai Ranmo had died and Qian Daoliu had taken his anger out on her. She was still furious, but she was a little pleased too. That white-haired brat was finally dead.

And then? Barely any time had passed before Bai Ranmo returned, perfectly fine.

Bibi Dong had good reason to suspect Qian Daoliu simply couldn't stand her and had wanted an excuse to beat her up.

That damned, innately evil Qian Family!

To be honest, Qian Daoliu felt a little awkward about it. But when he thought of all the grievances Xue'er had endured over the years, and of Qian Xunji's death, he decided he could count it as revenge for Xue'er and Ji'er.

By his reckoning, Xiao Xue should be arriving in Spirit City soon.

Qian Daoliu sent someone to summon Bai Ranmo from Spirit City so the boy could get properly acquainted with Xue'er.

Bai Ranmo was busy beating up Yan at Spirit Hall Academy when the message came telling him to return to the Worship Hall. He froze for a moment, then guessed Qian Renxue was coming back. Sukuna's Finger was his clone too, after all.

Bai Ranmo glanced at the half-hour Infinite Points Card he had once spotted in the Shop and the ten-minute Infinite Points Card he had drawn from the prize pool. He grinned. It was time to make a big move.

The Worship Hall.

When Qian Daoliu sensed the familiar pulse of Angel Soul Power and two other undisguised Titled Douluo auras, he knew his granddaughter had returned.

Beneath the sacred Angel God Statue, Qian Daoliu slowly turned. He saw Qian Renxue and the two Elders, Snake Lance and Pufferfish, and was about to greet them when he suddenly sensed something wrong.

"Xiao Xue!" Qian Daoliu frowned and appeared before Qian Renxue in an instant. "Why is there an aura on you that makes the Angel Martial Soul so uncomfortable?"

Qian Renxue was pale. She hadn't rested properly in days; she had needed her Angel Martial Soul to suppress Sukuna's consciousness, and the strain had worn her down.

"What happened?" The sight of his weakened granddaughter pained Qian Daoliu. His sharp gaze swung toward the two Elders, Snake Lance and Ci Xue.

The two Elders exchanged a look, gave helpless, bitter smiles, and told him the truth.

"What? You let an Evil Soul Master possess Xiao Xue?" Qian Daoliu fought to contain his rage, but his body trembled.

The pressure of a Limit Douluo bore down on the entire Worship Hall.

Snake Lance and Ci Xue wanted to explain, but what could they possibly say?

They truly had done everything they could!

Qian Daoliu knew he couldn't blame the two Elders, but he was still angry. "Leave us," he said.

"Yes," the two Elders replied.

"Xue'er, don't be afraid. Come to the Divine Ancestor's statue." Qian Daoliu's hand trembled as he gently took hers and led her beneath it.

Sacred Angel's Light shimmered, as though rejoicing at Qian Renxue's arrival. But after a few seconds, the holy light slowly faded!

It meant that because Sukuna was inside her, Qian Renxue was no longer recognized by the Angel God's Godhood.

"How could this happen?" Qian Daoliu swayed slightly. He couldn't accept it.

"Hahaha... Old man, seeing you look so pathetic is a delight!" An eye and a mouth suddenly sprouted on Qian Renxue's face, and Sukuna's unrestrained voice rang out.

Qian Daoliu stared at Qian Renxue, his eyes bloodshot. He could think of only one way for Xiao Xue to regain the Divine Ancestor's recognition: destroy this Evil Soul Master.

Qian Daoliu acted without hesitation. "Angel Domain!"

Sacred golden light engulfed the entire Worship Hall. Within the Angel Domain, even a Super Douluo-level Evil Soul Master was no different from a stray dog to Qian Daoliu.

"Xue'er, stop suppressing this Evil Soul Master. Grandpa will get rid of him for you!" Three pairs of pure white wings grew from Qian Daoliu's back, and nine Soul Rings—eight black and one red—appeared beneath his feet.

Sacred Angel's Light poured down.

"Okay, Grandpa." Qian Renxue seemed reassured. She let out a breath and gradually released the suppression her Angel Martial Soul held over Sukuna.

When Qian Daoliu saw a savage expression, eerie Black Markings, and even four eyes appear on the face of his sweet, beloved granddaughter, disgust filled his eyes.

The Angel God had attained Godhood through the faith of the continent's people. They had worshipped her because she had purged the Evil Soul Masters who plagued the continent.

"Angel's Light!"

Without wasting another word, Qian Daoliu raised one hand, and a beam of sacred light fell upon Qian Renxue.

But to Qian Daoliu's shock, Angel's Light did not burn Sukuna's soul away!

"How is that possible?"
