Ning Rongrong: Senior, I Was Wrong! Utterly Humbled!

Ning Rongrong shifted forward.

The golden restriction lit up in response.

A force pushed her back onto the bench.

She did not keep struggling.

"I won't let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect retaliate against you, either."

"I'll give everything in my Storage Soul Tool to Qian Renxue."

"I don't want any of it anymore."

"Please let me go."

Qian Daoliu remained calm.

From beginning to end, he had not glanced at Ning Rongrong once.

His disregard frightened Ning Rongrong even more.

She would rather Qian Daoliu punish her.

At least then, she would know what price she had to pay.

As things stood, Qian Daoliu had made no demands.

She did not even know when she would be able to leave.

Ning Rongrong gently hugged her legs.

She pressed several creases into her pale green skirt.

She buried her face between her knees and said nothing more.

Just then.

The Soul Power within Qian Renxue suddenly began circulating faster.

Her long golden hair swept backward.

Her three pairs of angel wings spread fully.

The energy of heaven and earth in the backyard rapidly gathered around her.

The residual medicinal potency of the whale rubber and the Ice and Fire Golden Body went into action simultaneously.

Ice-blue and crimson radiance emerged beneath Qian Renxue's skin.

The two powers ultimately merged into her Angel Soul Power.

Boom!

A golden pillar of light shot into the sky.

The buildings and ground shook at the same time.

The barrier within Qian Renxue that had prevented her Soul Power from growing further shattered on the spot.

The Six-Winged Angel raised its head.

Brilliant divine light spread in every direction.

Qian Renxue's aura rapidly climbed as she officially crossed the threshold of rank seventy.

She slowly opened her eyes.

Golden radiance swirled in their depths.

"Grandpa."

"I broke through."

Qian Daoliu withdrew his hand.

"Your Soul Power has reached rank seventy."

"Once you obtain your seventh Soul Ring, you can become a Soul Saint."

Qian Renxue rose from the green stone.

Her long white dress fell close against her slender waist.

After the baptism of Soul Power, her skin was even more lustrous.

The angel markings between her brows had also become somewhat clearer.

Ning Rongrong raised her face again.

She gazed at Qian Renxue, bathed in golden divine light, her eyes filled with shock.

Rank seventy.

A Soul Saint in her twenties.

Even among all the geniuses throughout the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's history, none could compare to Qian Renxue.

Ning Rongrong finally understood.

Qian Renxue had never regarded her as a rival in the first place.

Whether in status, Martial Soul, or cultivation, the two were not on the same level.

A golden panel then appeared before Qian Daoliu.

[Disciple Qian Renxue's cultivation has broken through]

[Current Soul Power: rank seventy]

[The disciple's cultivation has increased consecutively; growth rate has met the reward criteria]

[System reward being issued]

[Congratulations to the host on obtaining a Quasi-Super Divine Artifact: Angel Space-Rending Sword]

[Angel Space-Rending Sword: forged from Angel Divine Power and the essence of space, it can tear through space, sever domains, and bear the divine power of the Six-Winged Angel]

A little more satisfaction appeared in Qian Daoliu's eyes.

A ball of dazzling golden light condensed before him.

The space in the backyard warped in response.

Fine cracks spread outward from the golden light at their center.

Qian Renxue immediately looked over.

Ning Rongrong also lowered her legs, her gaze settling on the ball of golden light.

A golden longsword slowly emerged.

Its blade was long and slender.

Divine markings of the Six-Winged Angel were engraved across its surface.

The hilt and guard formed a seamless whole, with three pairs of miniature golden wings spreading along either side.

Before the blade had fully emerged from the golden light, the surrounding space could no longer withstand its power.

Crack!

Several pitch-black fissures opened beside the blade.

The energy of heaven and earth in the backyard was swallowed by the fissures, then forcibly shredded by Angel Divine Power.

Qian Daoliu extended his right hand.

The Angel Space-Rending Sword fell into his palm.

Boom!

Vast divine might abruptly descended.

Golden radiance enveloped the entire inn.

The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul behind Qian Renxue manifested on its own.

That sacred figure faced the Angel Space-Rending Sword, its three pairs of wings folding inward.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda within Ning Rongrong was also suppressed.

Her Martial Soul kept sending warnings.

Her face rapidly paled.

With just one glance, Ning Rongrong felt as though the sword light had sliced open her Sea of Consciousness.

She hurriedly averted her gaze.

"What kind of weapon is this?"

Qian Renxue stood beside Qian Daoliu.

Connected to the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul by blood, she could clearly sense the power contained within the Angel Space-Rending Sword.

Even among the divine artifacts stored in the Worship Hall, not one could compare to the sword before her.

"Grandpa."

"Is it a divine artifact?"

"A Quasi-Super Divine Artifact."

Qian Daoliu raised the Angel Space-Rending Sword.

He gently swept the blade through the air before him.

A rift several zhang long instantly split open in space.

A pitch-black void appeared before the three of them.

Before the violent spatial turbulence could surge out, the Angel Divine Power radiating from the blade suppressed it back inside.

The rift soon closed again.

Qian Daoliu sensed the power within the sword.

The Angel Space-Rending Sword was exceptionally compatible with the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

As long as enough divine power was poured into it, it could easily cleave through domains and space.

Even against a true divine artifact, it could cut straight through it head-on.

"Not bad."

Golden light rose from Qian Daoliu's palm.

The Angel Space-Rending Sword shrank in response, ultimately turning into a sword-shaped divine marking that merged into the back of his right hand.

The divine might enveloping the inn gradually dispersed.

Ning Rongrong remained seated on the bench.

As she stared at the divine marking on Qian Daoliu's right hand, she could no longer remain calm.

Qian Daoliu could actually produce such a terrifying weapon with a casual gesture.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect possessed wealth to rival a nation.

Its treasury held a vast collection of precious treasures.

Yet even all those treasures combined might not equal the longsword from a moment ago.

Ning Rongrong had originally still hoped that Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo would find her.

Now, she no longer even dared entertain that thought.

If her two grandpas really came looking for her, could they withstand a single strike from the Angel Space-Rending Sword?

Ning Rongrong dared not think any further.

Qian Daoliu suddenly turned to look outside the inn.

A familiar fluctuation of Soul Power had appeared within his spiritual perception.

"Xue'er."

"Stay here and stabilize your Soul Power."

Qian Renxue nodded gently.

"All right."

Qian Daoliu took a step forward.

Space parted before him on its own.

His figure vanished.

Outside the inn.

Dugu Bo had just descended from the sky.

Before he could enter the inn, Qian Daoliu had already appeared before him.

Dugu Bo immediately bowed in greeting.

"Senior."

Qian Daoliu looked at him.

"Have you found anything regarding the matter I asked you to investigate?"

"Yes."

Dugu Bo took out a secret letter and offered it with both hands.

"As you instructed, Senior, I've kept people watching Tang San."

"Tang San has left Shrek Academy."

"Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and Shrek's other students have also left the academy."

"They are heading toward Heaven Dou City."

Qian Daoliu accepted the secret letter.

The letter recorded Tang San and the others' route in detail.

Flender had already contacted Liu Erlong.

The Golden Iron Triangle was preparing to join forces again.

The purpose of the Shrek group's journey was precisely to find the person who had killed Zhao Wuji.

Dugu Bo continued:

"They still don't know your identity, Senior."

"According to the information sent back by those watching them, Yu Xiaogang believes the Golden Sacred Dragon can contend with a Titled Douluo."

"Tang San is also traveling with the group."

Qian Daoliu put away the secret letter.

Tang San was this world's child of fortune.

Trying to kill him outright now would not be as simple as killing Zhao Wuji.
