Qian Daoliu hurtled backward through the air, hurriedly pushing his Angel Shield to its limit while activating the 100% defense boost from Angel's Hymn.
Yet even with such formidable defenses, the shock wave still blasted him hundreds of meters away.
The Angel Shield shattered under the violent impact, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, leaving him in a sorry state.
The little angel phantoms seemed keenly aware of their master's peril. One after another, they transformed into brilliant rays of Divinity, pouring endlessly into Qian Daoliu's body like sweet rain descending from the heavens.
Nourished by this power of Divinity, his soul power began recovering at an astonishing rate.
Angel's Hymn, a ten-thousand-year soul skill, could only increase attack and defense by 100%, which perhaps did not make it particularly outstanding among top-tier soul skills.
It fell several notches short of the 100% boost to five attributes granted by Chen Xiaojun's second soul skill, Peerless Nobility.
Undeniably, Peerless Nobility owed its exceptionally high potential to the powerful bloodline of the super soul beast, the Five-Colored Deer.
The true strength of Qian Daoliu's Angel's Hymn, however, lay not merely in its enhancement effects, but even more in its unparalleled ability to restore soul power.
In the Soul Master World, soul skills that could restore soul power were rare indeed. Those capable of rapidly restoring it amid fierce combat were as scarce as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
Soul skills described as "increasing soul power by 50%" did not actually restore soul power directly. Instead, they temporarily increased a soul master's soul power capacity, strength, and output.
In other words, these soul skills gave soul masters greater soul power reserves, fiercer surges of power, and more sustained output on top of their existing foundations, but did not directly replenish
