As a Soul Beast, Hell Demon Dragon Zi JI had no interest whatsoever in the items at this auction, which were relevant only to Soul Masters. For that reason, she shifted her beautiful gaze to the two remaining glass cases on the raised platform.
"We already know what the God-Level Martial Soul and the Immortal Herb are, but I wonder what the divine artifact will be."
Looking at the two glass cases covered with red silk cloths, the Hell Demon Dragon murmured to herself, intensely curious. She wanted to know what the divine artifact was. Was it an offensive type? A defensive type? Or a control type?
The second floor of the Lin Auction House.
After going upstairs, Ning Fengzhi entered an unoccupied quiet room.
Ning Fengzhi had barely closed the door behind him when two doors creaked open at the same time.
Soon, two men emerged from two different quiet rooms.
From one came Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu!
From the other came Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
When the two men emerged and noticed each other, they both turned to look at the other.
The moment Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu saw Sword Douluo Chen Xin, his golden eyes lit up.
The corners of Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu's mouth rose in a subtle curve. A smile appeared on his face, and he asked Sword Douluo Chen Xin with a grin, "Boy from the Chen Clan, your strength has now surpassed your father, Sword Hero Douluo Chen Jianjun. Back then, he and I fought, and he ultimately lost and died as a result. I wonder if you've held a grudge against me, or thought of avenging him."
When Qian Daoliu finished speaking, clear anticipation appeared in his smile.
He stared fixedly at Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
He waited quietly for Sword Douluo Chen Xin to answer.
Faced with Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu's question, Sword Douluo Chen Xin shook his head and answered without servility or arrogance, "Your Holiness Angel, although my father died after his battle with you back then, he passed away smiling. So I bear you no hatred, nor have I thought of avenging him."
"Really?" Qian Daoliu asked Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
"Really." This time, Sword Douluo Chen Xin nodded.
"Then would you be interested in a battle with me?" Qian Daoliu had not finished questioning Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
To tell the truth, after gaining a preliminary grasp of the three formidable sword moves Green Snakes in Both Sleeves, Six Thousand Li, and Sword Opens Heaven's Gate, as well as acquiring a domain closely tied to swords and divine power, Qian Daoliu had wanted to test himself against a powerful opponent, preferably a swordsman! And under heaven, only Sword Douluo Chen Xin met those conditions, so Qian Daoliu issued him a challenge.
This time, Sword Douluo Chen Xin did not answer Qian Daoliu immediately without thinking as he had before. He pondered carefully for a while before slowly replying, "A battle to the death, no. A spar, yes."
At that "yes," the gleam in Qian Daoliu's golden eyes grew brighter still. He quickly asked, unable to wait, "Shall we find a place now?"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin nodded again.
Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu wanted to test his current strength?
Sword Douluo Chen Xin wanted to test his as well!
Before long, Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu and Sword Douluo Chen Xin left the Lin Auction House and Suotuo City. They headed outside to find a deserted, open area to serve as the battlefield for their upcoming fight.
It did not take Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu and Sword Douluo Chen Xin long to find a level plain.
They hovered in the air, facing each other.
As Qian Daoliu circulated the powerful Soul Power within him, vast as the sea, a figure appeared behind him. It shone gold and bore three pairs of wings. It was the Martial Soul Qian Daoliu took such pride in, the Six-Winged Angel!
At the same time as he revealed his Martial Soul, Qian Daoliu also displayed his Soul Ring configuration.
Eight black and one red, nine Soul Rings rose from beneath Qian Daoliu's feet, each racing to be first, before finally revolving around him.
Then Qian Daoliu looked at Chen Xin and said, "Qian Daoliu, Martial Soul: Six-Winged Angel, Level 99 Power Attack System battle Titled Douluo."
Seeing this, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, somewhat nervous, took a deep breath. He too circulated his Soul Power, revealing his Martial Souls first and then displaying his Soul Ring configuration.
Two longswords, one white and one green, appeared out of thin air beside Sword Douluo Chen Xin's left and right arms. They were his two sword-type Tool Martial Souls, the Seven Kill Sword and the Green Lotus Sword.
Not long after his Martial Souls appeared, Soul Rings rose one after another from beneath Sword Douluo Chen Xin's feet, each racing to be first.
Two yellow Hundred-Year Soul Rings!
Two purple Thousand-Year Soul Rings!
Eleven black Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings!
That was right. Sword Douluo Chen Xin had equipped his Second Martial Soul, the Green Lotus Sword, with six Soul Rings. Every one of them was a black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, and each was over seventy thousand years old.
Why hadn't Sword Douluo Chen Xin filled all nine Soul Ring slots on his Second Martial Soul, the Green Lotus Sword? Because he wanted Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, especially Ice Bear King Xiaobai's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring! Ideally, the last three Soul Rings of Sword Douluo Chen Xin's Second Martial Soul, the Green Lotus Sword, would all be Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings!
Looking into Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu's intrigued golden eyes, Sword Douluo Chen Xin said, "Chen Xin, Martial Souls: Seven Kill Sword and Green Lotus Sword, Level 97 Titled Douluo. Your Holiness Angel, please instruct me!"
After adding six Soul Rings to his Second Martial Soul, the Green Lotus Sword, Sword Douluo Chen Xin had successfully become a Level 97 Titled Douluo, just like Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen.
Boom!
Boom!
Two waves of Soul Power erupted at the same time.
The battle was poised to erupt, and it began at once!
Sword Douluo Chen Xin did not immediately use the Four-Word Full-Set Battle Armor, the Black God Set.
He would only bring it out at a crucial moment, or if he could no longer hold his own.
The first-floor auction hall of the Lin Auction House.
"Congratulations to guest number five! You have successfully won the current item, the God-Level Martial Soul, Slaughter Angel!"
As Lin Yuan's voice rang throughout the auction hall, Spirit Hall's Second Worship Golden Crocodile Douluo, bidding on behalf of Spirit Hall's Great Enshrined, Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu, successfully secured the God-Level Martial Soul Slaughter Angel that Qian Renxue wanted.
When Lin Yuan finished speaking, Qian Renxue was overjoyed.
To tell the truth, Qian Renxue had never expected that in her lifetime she would not only become a wielder of Twin Martial Souls, but not just any wielder of Twin Martial Souls: one whose two Martial Souls were both God-Level Martial Souls!
First Martial Soul, Twelve-Winged Archangel!
Second Martial Soul, Slaughter Angel!
Neither Martial Soul was ordinary. Either one alone could easily produce a Peak Douluo.
On the continent today, perhaps he is the only one who can surpass me in terms of Martial Souls.
At that thought, Qian Renxue looked at Lin Yuan.
Qian Renxue was very curious about Lin Yuan.
