Slaughter City, Angel True Body!

The Soul Power within Qian Renxue rose rapidly.

Rank seventy-one.

Rank seventy-two.

The immense energy from absorbing the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring pushed her cultivation higher and higher.

The Titan Giant Ape's essence within the Soul Ring gradually merged into her bones and flesh.

Qian Renxue's physique, already tempered many times, underwent another transformation.

Her blood vitality grew ever more vigorous.

Every beat of her heart drove Soul Power throughout her body.

Golden divine light soared into the sky.

The clouds above the forest were illuminated completely.

The Six-Winged Angel behind Qian Renxue slowly opened its eyes.

The seventh Crimson Soul Ring fully merged into her Martial Soul.

All seven Soul Rings shone at once.

Qian Renxue's aura broke through once more.

Rank seventy-three.

The immense energy finally stabilized.

Qian Daoliu withdrew his palm.

The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul spread its three pairs of wings.

Qian Renxue's body slowly rose off the ground.

The seventh Crimson Soul Ring blazed.

"Seventh Soul Skill."

"Angel True Body."

Golden light enveloped both Qian Renxue and the Six-Winged Angel behind her.

Her body merged into her Martial Soul.

The Six-Winged Angel rapidly grew larger.

The sacred figure rose above the forest.

Three pairs of golden wings covered a vast expanse of treetops.

An intense aura of light spread in every direction.

Liu Erlong raised her arm to shield her eyes.

The Fire Dragon Martial Soul within her continually conveyed its submission.

Qian Renxue had only just entered the Soul Saint realm.

Yet the pressure exerted by her Angel True Body already surpassed that of an ordinary Soul Douluo.

The enhancement the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring granted her went far beyond an increase in Soul Power.

The Titan Giant Ape's power essence strengthened the physique of the Six-Winged Angel Avatar.

At this moment, Qian Renxue could not only wield angel divine power.

Her strength and defense had also received enormous boosts.

Qian Renxue raised her right hand.

The Six-Winged Angel extended its palm in turn.

A golden holy sword condensed in its palm.

She lightly slashed forward.

Golden Sword Light swept across the sky above the forest.

Several hundred meters away, the sword light cleaved a hilltop in two.

The severed rocks crashed down.

A vast cloud of dust surged into the sky.

Liu Erlong lowered her arm.

She gazed at the split peak in the distance, her eyes filled with shock.

This was merely a casual sword strike Qian Renxue had unleashed after just mastering Angel True Body.

If she attacked with all her strength, even an ordinary Soul Douluo probably could not withstand it head-on.

The golden divine light slowly receded.

The Six-Winged Angel Avatar gradually shrank.

Qian Renxue reappeared in midair.

Three pairs of golden wings spread from her back.

Her high ponytail hung down her back.

Her gold-and-white training clothes hugged her tall, slender figure.

The Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring revolved around her legs.

Scarlet light mingled with sacred golden radiance, adding a measure of majesty to her already radiant beauty.

Qian Renxue beat her wings.

She descended from the air, coming straight to her grandfather.

"Grandpa."

"I succeeded."

Qian Daoliu glanced at the fluctuations of her Soul Power.

"Rank seventy-three."

"The power of the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring has already merged into your body."

Qian Renxue lowered her gaze to her hands.

She gently clenched her fists.

Abundant strength immediately surged from every limb and bone.

"My body is much stronger than before."

"Angel True Body has also gained a portion of the Titan Giant Ape's strength."

"If I face an ordinary Soul Saint again, I probably won't need to use a Soul Skill."

Qian Daoliu nodded.

"The Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring has given you two Soul Skills."

"Besides Angel True Body, what else is there?"

Qian Renxue closed her eyes.

Her seventh Soul Ring lit up again.

A ring of dark golden light spread outward from her body.

The gravity around her immediately changed.

The ground sank.

The water in the stream stopped in place.

Liu Erlong's body also sank under the weight.

Qian Renxue quickly withdrew her Soul Power.

The dark golden light dissipated with it.

"The second Soul Skill is Angel Gravity Domain."

"I can alter gravity within the domain's range."

"The domain also suppresses enemies' Soul Power and movements."

Qian Daoliu said, "The Titan Giant Ape's Gravity Domain has already fused with the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul."

"As your cultivation rises in the future, the domain will continue to grow more powerful."

Qian Renxue's eyes were filled with joy.

She stepped forward and wrapped both hands around her grandfather's arm.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

"Without you, I could never have absorbed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring as my seventh Soul Ring."

Qian Daoliu raised a hand and straightened the sweat-dampened golden hair on her forehead.

"You endured this power yourself."

"I merely suppressed the Titan Giant Ape's Remnant Soul for you."

Qian Renxue gently shook her head.

"You were also the one who killed the Titan Giant Ape, Grandpa."

"The Ice and Fire Golden Body, the immortal herbs, and the whale rubber-you found all of those for me too."

"It's entirely because of you that I've come this far, Grandpa."

Liu Erlong stood beside them.

She looked at the Crimson Soul Ring beneath Qian Renxue's feet.

A Soul Saint in her twenties.

Her seventh Soul Ring was already a hundred-thousand-year one.

Her Soul Power had even risen straight to rank seventy-three.

Across the entire continent, no second person could be found with such a foundation.

Liu Erlong approached the two of them.

"Congratulations on obtaining your seventh Soul Ring, Young Master."

Qian Renxue released her grandfather's arm.

"Thank you for your efforts throughout this journey too."

Liu Erlong shook her head.

"I didn't help much."

"Senior slew the Titan Giant Ape himself."

"And while you absorbed the Soul Ring, Senior was the one who stood guard over you, Young Master."

Qian Daoliu looked toward the Titan Giant Ape's corpse.

A mass of red light was condensing inside it.

A moment later.

A dark red right arm bone slowly rose.

The Soul Bone's surface was covered in the Titan Giant Ape's markings.

Intense fluctuations of power spread from within it.

Liu Erlong immediately recognized the Soul Bone.

"A Hundred Thousand Year Right Arm Bone."

Qian Daoliu raised his hand and beckoned.

The Titan Giant Ape's right arm bone landed in his palm.

He handed the Soul Bone to Qian Renxue.

"Put it away."

"Wait until your Soul Power has fully stabilized before considering absorbing it."

Qian Renxue accepted the Soul Bone.

Dark red light shone on her fair fingers.

"All right."

She put the Soul Bone into her Storage Soul Tool.

Qian Daoliu looked once more at the forest before him.

The Titan Giant Ape was dead.

Qian Renxue had also finished absorbing her seventh Soul Ring.

The purpose of this journey had been achieved.

Qian Renxue went over to the stream.

She crouched down and washed the sweat from her face with the clean water.

Clear droplets slid down her fair cheeks.

A few drops fell inside her gold-and-white collar, leaving faint damp marks.

She raised her hands and undid the ribbon binding her long hair.

Her long golden hair spilled over her shoulders and back.

Qian Renxue lowered the ends of her hair into the stream.

She carefully cleaned away the dust left from absorbing the Soul Ring.

Liu Erlong walked over beside her.

"Young Master, let me help you."

Qian Renxue turned to glance at her.

"You know how to arrange hair?"

"Back at Blue Tyrant Academy, I occasionally did it for the female students."

Liu Erlong sat down beside the stream.

Her black skirt spread out around her voluptuous figure.

She reached out and took Qian Renxue's damp golden hair.

Crimson Soul Power turned into a warm current of air.

The droplets on the strands of hair quickly evaporated.

Liu Erlong divided the golden hair into several sections and braided it back into a neat, long braid.

Qian Renxue lowered her head to look at the water.

The clear stream reflected her face.

Her long golden braid fell over her shoulder to her chest.

A hair ribbon was tied at the end.

The Angel Runes between her brows and the aura brought by the Crimson Soul Ring made her look even more radiant than before.

"Not bad."

Liu Erlong withdrew her hands.

"As long as you like it, Young Master."

Qian Renxue stood up.

She came before her grandfather and turned lightly in a circle.

Her gold-and-white training clothes hugged her waist.

Her long braid swept past behind her as she moved.

"Grandpa."

"Does it look nice?"

Qian Daoliu looked at the long golden braid over her shoulder.

"It does."

A bright smile appeared on Qian Renxue's face.

She linked her arm through her grandfather's again.

Liu Erlong watched the two standing together.

Qian Daoliu possessed enough strength to slay the Titan Giant Ape with his bare hands.

Qian Renxue, meanwhile, had absorbed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring as her seventh Soul Ring.

The strength displayed by the Six-Winged Angel lineage had already far surpassed that of other Soul Master families.

Liu Erlong withdrew her gaze.

She could now be certain.

Submitting to Qian Daoliu was the most correct choice she had made in her life.

The Star Dou Great Forest.

Beside the Titan Giant Ape's corpse.

Qian Daoliu withdrew his angel divine power.

Qian Renxue had finished absorbing the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.

Level seventy-three soul power.

A hundred-thousand-year seventh Soul Ring.

And a Hundred Thousand Year Right Arm Bone.

Her current strength was already enough to defeat an ordinary Soul Douluo head-on.

Liu Erlong stood nearby, her gaze resting on Qian Renxue.

"Your foundation is far too strong, Young Master."

"Even a level seventy-three Soul Saint shouldn't possess such power."

Qian Renxue raised her hand and clenched her fist.

Golden soul power slowly circulated in her palm.

"I still need to keep improving."

"Level seventy-three is still far too distant from Grandpa's realm."

Qian Daoliu looked at her.

"Improving your soul power isn't just about levels."

"You absorbed the Titan Giant Ape's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, and both your body and your Martial Soul underwent a transformation."

"Next, you need real battles to temper yourself."

Qian Renxue nodded lightly.

"Where do you plan to send me, Grandpa?"

"Slaughter City."

As those words fell.

Liu Erlong's expression immediately changed.

She had heard of that place.

Slaughter City.

One of the most dangerous forbidden grounds in the Soul Master World.

There was no law there, nor any order.

Soul Masters who entered could only survive through slaughter.

"Senior, the Young Master has only just broken through to Soul Saint."

"Wouldn't it be too early for her to enter Slaughter City now?"

Qian Daoliu looked at her.

"True geniuses don't need to grow in a safe environment."

"Xue'er possesses the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul and has absorbed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring."

"What she lacks isn't cultivation resources, but tempering between life and death."

Qian Renxue raised her eyes to look beyond the forest.

Her long golden hair fell over her shoulder.

She did not shrink back.

"I'm willing to go."

"I also want to know just how strong I am now."

Qian Daoliu nodded.

"Once you enter Slaughter City, I won't act on your behalf."

"Unless you call for me yourself, I'll only wait outside."

Qian Renxue linked her arm through his.

"I understand."

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I won't disappoint you."

Liu Erlong stood to one side.

As she watched the grandfather and granddaughter leaning on each other, envy appeared in her eyes.

"Senior, do I need to go with you?"

"No."

Qian Daoliu said:

"Return to Spirit City first."

"From now on, remain in the Worship Hall and follow my arrangements."

Liu Erlong was slightly taken aback.

"Then what can I do?"

"Cultivate."

Qian Daoliu looked at her.

"Your soul power is now at level seventy-eight, only two levels away from Soul Douluo."

"Once you break through, I'll assign you a new task."

Liu Erlong immediately cupped her hands.

"Understood, sir."

Qian Daoliu took out a golden token and held it out before her.

A Six-Winged Angel was engraved on the front of the token.

On the back was a special divine marking.

"Take it."

"Within Spirit City, all Spirit Hall Soul Masters will obey your commands."

Liu Erlong accepted the token with both hands.

The token felt warm in her hands.

The angel divine power within it caused the Fire Dragon Martial Soul inside her to rein itself in of its own accord.

She lowered her head to look at the token in her palm.

It was more than a symbol of status.

It was also Qian Daoliu's acknowledgment of her.

"Thank you, Senior."

"Go back."

A golden passage appeared in midair.

Liu Erlong took one last look at the Titan Giant Ape's corpse in the distance, then stepped into the passage.

Golden light flashed.

Her figure vanished from above the forest.

Qian Renxue stood beside the stream.

She raised a hand and gathered her long braid in front of her.

"Grandpa, when are we leaving?"

"Now."

Qian Daoliu came to her side.

"But before we go to Slaughter City, let's eat."

Qian Renxue blinked her golden eyes.

"You prepared food too, Grandpa?"

Qian Daoliu took a table out of his Storage Soul Tool.

Several plates of steaming dishes sat on the table.

There was also a jade bowl filled with white rice.

As Qian Renxue looked at the food on the table, a smile touched her eyes and brows.

"When did you prepare this, Grandpa?"

"Before you absorbed the Soul Ring."

"I was worried you'd be hungry after you woke up."

Qian Daoliu sat down at the table.

Qian Renxue came over and sat opposite him.

She picked up her chopsticks and took a piece of stewed meat.

The energy brought by the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring had not yet fully dissipated.

Her blood and vitality were much more vigorous than usual.

After absorbing the Soul Ring, she had indeed felt noticeably hungry.

Qian Renxue quickly finished a bowl of rice.

Qian Daoliu served her another bowl.

"Slow down."

"Your body absorbs energy very quickly now, but you still shouldn't eat too hastily all at once."

Qian Renxue accepted the jade bowl.

"Grandpa, you're becoming more and more like a chef."

"I only know how to make a few simple dishes."

"But I think your cooking tastes better than the chefs' in Spirit City."

Qian Renxue lowered her head and ate.

Her long golden braid fell along her shoulder, occasionally brushing the rim of her bowl.

Qian Daoliu reached out and moved her long braid behind her.

Qian Renxue raised her eyes and glanced at him.

"Grandpa."

"After I come out of Slaughter City, will you still cook for me?"

"As long as you want to eat it, I'll cook."

She nodded lightly.

"Then I'll definitely come back."

Qian Daoliu said nothing more.

He watched Qian Renxue eat the last piece of meat before putting the table away.

The two left the Star Dou Great Forest.

The golden passage spanned hundreds of li.

The clouds along the way parted to either side.

Qian Renxue stood within the divine light, her white dress replaced by gold-and-white training clothes.

The Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring circled her body.

Its scarlet radiance intertwined with angel divine power.

She lowered her head and looked at the mountains and rivers below as they gradually receded into the distance.

"Grandpa."

"Is it really impossible to use Soul Skills inside Slaughter City?"

"That place has special rules."

Qian Daoliu said:

"After Soul Masters enter Slaughter City, they cannot unleash Soul Skills normally."

"But your Martial Soul itself will not disappear."

"Angel True Body and Angel Gravity Domain will be unusable for the time being."

Qian Renxue nodded lightly.

"Then I'll use a sword."

Qian Daoliu raised his hand and beckoned.

The Golden Longsword condensed in his palm.

He handed the sword to Qian Renxue.

"This sword is not a divine artifact."

"But it is good enough for you to use in Slaughter City."

Qian Renxue accepted it with both hands.

The moment the longsword settled into her hands, a Six-Winged Angel pattern appeared on its golden blade.

The hilt was not long, and the weight was just right.

She raised her hand and twirled the sword in a flourish.

The blade sliced through the air, leaving a faint golden glow.
