Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu first entered a quiet chamber reserved for secluded cultivation.
Qian Renxue, disguised as the Heaven Dou Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, entered the chamber after him.
Before entering, Qian Renxue made sure to look left and right. Only after checking repeatedly that no one was watching her did she step inside.
The moment she entered the chamber, Qian Renxue circulated her Soul Power without the slightest hesitation, canceling her Head Soul Bone's disguise skill. Then she removed the exquisite human-skin mask she wore.
Qian Renxue, her dazzling golden hair flowing down to her waist, parted her jade lips and greeted Qian Daoliu. "Grandpa."
In response, Qian Daoliu gave a slight nod and a murmur of acknowledgment. Then he took the Martial Soul Evolution Pill, which he had bought for over thirty million Gold Soul Coins, from the Storage Soul Tool he carried with him.
Qian Daoliu held the Martial Soul Evolution Pill out to Qian Renxue. "Xue'er, take this Martial Soul Evolution Pill. I bought it especially for you."
Hearing her grandfather Qian Daoliu's words and looking at the Martial Soul Evolution Pill he offered her, Qian Renxue did not accept it. She shook her head in front of him and spoke.
"Grandpa, you bought it. You should use it."
"If you use it, your Martial Soul will evolve. Maybe you'll be able to become a god someday."
After hearing Qian Renxue's words, Qian Daoliu's lips curved up slightly, and he smiled.
There was a barely perceptible trace of bitterness in his smile.
Become a god?
Qian Daoliu knew it was impossible for him.
Not only could he never become a supreme god, the being countless Titled Douluo dreamed of becoming, but in the future, he would also have to sacrifice his own life so that Qian Renxue could become a god.
The moment Qian Renxue became a god?
That would be the day Qian Daoliu fell!
Still smiling, Qian Daoliu continued, trying to persuade Qian Renxue.
"Xue'er, whether it's a family, a sect, or a nation, hope always rests with the generations that follow. If they flourish, then the family, sect, or nation can flourish. So, Xue'er, for the sake of our Angel Qian Family and our Spirit Hall, don't refuse my good intentions. Take the Martial Soul Evolution Pill. I'll stand guard for you now."
The quiet chamber fell into silence.
After a long while, Qian Renxue parted her jade lips.
"All right, Grandpa."
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Having received the answer he wanted from his granddaughter Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu smiled even more broadly, unmistakable satisfaction showing on his face. "We're family. There's no need for thanks."
Qian Renxue then accepted the Martial Soul Evolution Pill.
After examining the Martial Soul Evolution Pill for a few moments, she slipped it between her jade lips.
She sat down cross-legged where she stood.
Qian Renxue circulated the Soul Power in her body.
She began refining the Martial Soul Evolution Pill.
The moment the Martial Soul Evolution Pill's medicinal power appeared within Qian Renxue, a golden Six-Winged Angel, far taller than an ordinary person, appeared behind her. It was none other than her Martial Soul, the Six-Winged Angel!
Qian Daoliu's deep golden eyes remained fixed unblinkingly on the Six-Winged Angel. Today, he intended to see just what the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul would become after evolving, and how much stronger it would be than before.
Meanwhile, in the auction hall on the first floor.
"Forty million Gold Soul Coins!"
Compared with the previous lot, the Martial Soul Evolution Pill, this lot—the Four-Word Full-Set Battle Armor, the Black God Set—had reached an even higher price.
The one who had bid forty million Gold Soul Coins was none other than Ning Fengzhi, with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, said to be as rich as a nation, behind him.
So long as he could secure the Four-Word Full-Set Battle Armor, the Black God Set, Ning Fengzhi was willing to pay not just forty million, but even eighty million Gold Soul Coins. With it, his Uncle Sword, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, would possess strength on par with a Level 99 Titled Douluo! And with Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao as well, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would, in Ning Fengzhi's view, become the new number one sect under heaven!
It would be considerably stronger than the former number one sect under heaven, the Clear Sky Sect!
Looking at Ning Fengzhi, Di Tian muttered to himself, This human is determined to get the Four-Word Full-Set Battle Armor, the Black God Set. He won't stop until it's his!
After muttering to himself, Di Tian looked at Lin Yuan. "Fifty million Gold Soul Coins!"
After giving Lin Yuan a new bid, Di Tian looked at Ning Fengzhi and said, "If your next bid is still higher than mine, I won't compete for the Four-Word Full-Set Battle Armor, the Black God Set anymore. It's yours."
That was right. Di Tian intended to give up on the Four-Word Full-Set Battle Armor, the Black God Set.
The Four-Word Full-Set Battle Armor, the Black God Set, was indeed formidable.
But to Di Tian, it still wasn't quite enough to impress him.
As long as his opponent wasn't a god, Di Tian was confident he could defeat them.
There was no other reason than that Di Tian had a trump card.
Its name was Dragon God Claw!
Seven days ago, in his battle against Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu, Spider Emperor Douluo Bibi Dong, Angel Douluo Ye Qingmei, and Spirit Hall's Second Worship Golden Crocodile Douluo, Di Tian had almost been forced to use Dragon God Claw.
Di Tian was confident that if that claw had come down, at least two of the four would have died. The other two survivors wouldn't have fared much better, suffering serious injuries at the very least, and would no longer have had the strength to stand against him.
Besides the fact that the Four-Word Full-Set Battle Armor, the Black God Set, truly wasn't enough to impress Di Tian, there was another reason he intended to give it up.
That reason was simple.
Di Tian had set his sights on another lot.
The lot in the third glass case!
Just now, an "awoo" had come from the third glass case.
The moment Di Tian heard that sound, his mind was thrown into turmoil, and a powerful, utterly resolute thought sprang up in his head.
He had to secure the third lot, no matter what! The other lots could be set aside for now.
That was the greatest and main reason Di Tian had decided to stop bidding for the Four-Word Full-Set Battle Armor, the Black God Set.
As soon as Di Tian finished speaking, Ning Fengzhi gave a new, higher bid without hesitation. "Fifty million and one Gold Soul Coins!"
Compared with the previous bid, Ning Fengzhi's new bid was just one Gold Soul Coin higher.
"Would any other guest like to bid higher?" Lin Yuan asked the room.
The room was so quiet that a sparrow could be heard. Not a single person answered.
Smack!
The auction hammer came down heavily on the block.
"Congratulations to guest number two on successfully bidding for the lot, the Four-Word Full-Set Battle Armor, the Black God Set!"
The Four-Word Full-Set Battle Armor, the Black God Set, ultimately fell into Ning Fengzhi's hands.
Ning Fengzhi immediately handed it to Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin decisively used the Seven Kill Sword to cut his palm.
When a drop of scarlet blood touched the Four-Word Full-Set Battle Armor, the Black God Set, Sword Douluo Chen Xin became its host.
Two lots, eighty million Gold Soul Coins earned. Keep it up, and aim to earn three small goals today.
As Lin Yuan thought this to himself, he walked over to the third glass case.
Boom!
In the quiet chamber on the second floor, powerful Soul Power erupted, and divine power filled the room.
Qian Renxue's Martial Soul had evolved!
