The Soul-Testing Ball Exploded, Then Recovered

Before long, three figures quickly disappeared from Spirit Hall.

They headed in the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Up in the sky, Qian Daoliu had originally planned to use his advantage to show off his might before Qian Nuo. To his surprise, Qian Nuo was so fast that he was not the least bit slower than him.

All at once, the old man was left not knowing where to put his face.

Spirit City was relatively close to the Star Dou Great Forest to begin with.

The three moved quickly, reaching the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest in half the time it took an incense stick to burn.

"Thousand-year Soul Beasts can only be found where the outskirts meet the middle region," Qian Daoliu said.

"Mm."

Qian Nuo gave a brief acknowledgment and headed farther in.

Seeing that the relationship between her brother and grandfather was no longer as strained as before, Qian Renxue was delighted.

It seemed her intervention had helped.

Perhaps, with her around, her brother and grandfather's relationship would improve even more in the future.

As for them completely reconciling, she had never considered it.

After all, her grandfather's angel was light, while her brother was evil.

Besides, she had never known what her brother's Martial Soul was.

She had not asked during their training this past month, either.

So she asked curiously, "Brother, who is your Martial Soul? Last time, Xiao Xue only saw a red phantom appear on you. And what level is your Innate Soul Power, Brother? Xiao Xue is really curious~ Can you tell Xiao Xue, pwease?"

Qian Renxue ran up, reached out with her little hand, and took Gu Chen's hand, swinging it back and forth. Her eyes sparkled, full of anticipation and curiosity.

Qian Daoliu, who was following behind them, also looked curious when he heard her.

Just who was the Martial Soul of such a terrifying monster?

At that moment, the red phantom that had appeared on Qian Nuo before came to mind. It had quickly merged with his body.

And because of what had happened that time, he had not tested Qian Nuo's Soul Power either.

Besides, Qian Nuo had not released his Martial Soul when he fought.

He was already so strong without releasing his Martial Soul.

If he did release it, just how outrageous would he be?

"My Martial Soul is myself."

"I myself am the strongest Martial Soul!"

Qian Nuo spoke as he continued walking forward.

"Yourself?!"

Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu were instantly stunned.

"Whether you believe it is up to you," Qian Nuo said calmly.

"Xiao Xue believes you! Brother is so strong!" Qian Renxue said with a smile.

Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment, then took a blue soul-testing ball out of his Soul Tool and handed it to Qian Nuo. "Qian Nuo, put your hand on it, and you can test your Innate Soul Power."

Qian Nuo was also rather curious about his Soul Power.

So he pulled his right hand out of his pants pocket and placed it on the ball.

Qian Renxue's eyes were wide, and she did not dare blink for fear of missing the exciting moment.

Qian Daoliu was also very curious.

The next second, a brilliant, dazzling light shone from within the blue soul-testing ball.

Just as all three were watching the dazzling light, something unexpected happened.

Cracks appeared across the surface of the soul-testing ball.

And it looked ready to explode.

"Not good!"

Qian Daoliu's pupils contracted. Realizing something was wrong, he tried to raise a hand to stop it.

But it was too late.

He had only just raised his hand when the soul-testing ball burst.

Boom!!

It exploded!

But Qian Nuo was no fool. He had already realized what was happening and had enveloped the soul-testing ball in Cursed Energy.

The fragments of the exploded ball were trapped within the Cursed Energy.

When he opened his hand, the fragments all fell to the ground.

Qian Daoliu's hand trembled slightly.

Qian Renxue's little mouth fell open in surprise. "It actually exploded!"

"What's going on now?" Qian Nuo knew his Innate Soul Power had to be above level twenty, but he still did not know exactly how high it was. He looked up at Qian Daoliu, wanting him to give him an answer.

"Your Innate Soul Power is above level one hundred."

Qian Daoliu's voice trembled as he spoke.

"Level one hundred?!!"

Qian Renxue cried out.

Qian Nuo was also taken aback.

"That soul-testing ball's limit was level one hundred."

"And it was left behind by Lord Angel God. Now... it's broken. It was the only ball that could test level-one-hundred Soul Power."

Qian Daoliu looked as miserable as if he had eaten shit. His heart ached, and he looked ready to cry as he spoke.

"It's not a big problem."

After hearing that, Qian Nuo raised his hand and made a grabbing motion toward the fragments on the ground. A surge of Cursed Energy appeared and attached itself to the pieces of the soul-testing ball.

The fragments all floated into the air.

The next second, he activated the Reverse Cursed Technique.

This was his first time trying it on something that was not alive, and he did not know whether it would work.

But the result soon appeared.

The answer was yes!

Under Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu's gazes, the fragments rapidly reassembled.

They became the soul-testing ball again.

"It really came back," Qian Daoliu said, utterly stunned.

He raised his hand and pressed it against the ball.

Buzz!

A brilliant light shone from within the soul-testing ball.

A number appeared.

LV99

"That's great, it works!!"

Qian Daoliu was overjoyed.

He immediately pulled it into his arms, reluctant to part with it as if it were a treasure.

"Qian Nuo, your Soul Power is above level one hundred, so don't test it again. Xiao Xue, come test yours again."

Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Nuo, that monster, and spoke before handing the soul-testing ball to Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue was also curious whether her Soul Power had improved.

So she raised her hand and pressed it against the ball.

Buzz!

After a flash of light, a number appeared.

LV25

"Level twenty-five Soul Power?!!"

Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu were both stunned.

"Five levels in one month!!!"

"How is that possible!! How is this possible!!!!"

Qian Daoliu's eyes went wide as he cried out.

This was simply too outrageous!

It was more outrageous than outrageous's own mother!!

Beyond her shock, Qian Renxue was also extremely excited.

She had never expected her Soul Power could still rise without hunting for a Soul Ring!

With both hands in his pockets, Qian Nuo watched the scene, the corners of his mouth curving into a proud smile. He said calmly, "Old man, I told you long ago not to look at me through your narrow eyes. My training isn't something you can understand."

Now that he had these numbers, his words were even more convincing.

This time, Qian Daoliu did not argue.

Because reality had shut his mouth.

"Indeed, I was shortsighted. Xiao Xue was right to train with you," Qian Daoliu said with a nod and a smile.

Qian Daoliu said, "When we return this time, I want to take Xiao Xue before the Angel God and start the Angel Trial."

He wanted to seek Qian Nuo's agreement.

After all, if Qian Nuo disagreed, he could not beat him.

"The Angel God's inheritance really is the best fit for Silly Xue."

Qian Nuo nodded and did not object.

"Bad Brother, you're not allowed to call Xiao Xue Silly Xue!! Xiao Xue is very smart. Xiao Xue isn't silly!!" Qian Renxue pouted and clenched her little fists in protest.

Hearing Qian Nuo's words, Qian Daoliu breathed a sigh of relief.

Qian Nuo had agreed, and all was peaceful.

"All right, Xue'er, your brother is joking with you. Don't take it to heart." Qian Daoliu could not very well say much else, so he raised a hand and stroked Qian Renxue's little head to soothe her.

"I'm not joking with her. No matter how old she gets, she'll always be Silly Xue in my eyes."

Qian Nuo turned and walked into the forest with both hands in his pockets, his voice sounding at an unhurried pace.

"Uh..."

Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renxue awkwardly.

"Bad Brother, you're not allowed to say Xiao Xue is Silly Xue!"

Qian Renxue had already slipped out from under his hand and chased after Qian Nuo, waving her little fists as she tried to hit him.

Seeing this, Qian Daoliu had mixed feelings.

Qian Nuo is a pitiful child too. If only he weren't evil.

His mother wanted to kill him, and even I was compelled by the angel's will to kill him. Only Ji'er cared for him and protected him, and there was Qian Renxue too. Now Ji'er is dead, and he only has Qian Renxue left. I must not let him find out that Bibi Dong killed Ji'er, or there will be trouble.

If he flies into a rage, perhaps Xue'er is the only one on the continent who can stop him.
