In the Angel Temple, beneath the tall, imposing Angel God Statue, Qian Renxue abruptly opened her eyes.
Unconcealable delight shone in her beautiful eyes.
Powerful fluctuations of soul power flickered beneath the surface.
"Marvelous, truly marvelous!"
"The Level-Up Ticket really can increase cultivation without any drawbacks!"
She murmured to herself in disbelief.
Had she not experienced it herself, she would never have believed something so outrageous existed in this world.
Creak!
Just then, the temple doors opened, and Qian Daoliu walked in.
"Hahaha, it seems my senses were right. You really did break through."
Qian Daoliu's gaze shifted slightly as he spoke with a smile.
"Grandpa, you're back."
A flash of joy crossed Qian Renxue's eyes.
"I'm back, I'm back. And I certainly never expected such a wonderful surprise the moment I returned."
An irrepressible smile tugged at Qian Daoliu's lips.
Qian Renxue's excellence was beyond question, and she had thoroughly won his affection.
"Grandpa, listen to you. My cultivation only rose by two minor levels. That's hardly a surprise."
Qian Renxue tugged at the hem of her clothes and spoke with some embarrassment.
"That's no small improvement. Judging by your cultivation now, you aren't far from becoming a Soul Douluo, are you?
"When I was your age, my cultivation wasn't as high as yours is now."
Qian Daoliu shook his head slightly, a hint of reminiscence entering his eyes.
Of course, his words were primarily praise for Qian Renxue.
The more outstanding someone was, the more encouragement they needed.
"Grandpa, how could I compare with you? I took a shortcut to make this breakthrough. If I relied on my own efforts to reach my current realm, I'd probably need another year or two before I had any hope."
Qian Renxue spoke with a complicated expression.
A shortcut?
