A Brother's Approval

Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul appeared.

Sacred light shone, enveloping those around her in a state of profound comfort.

Soon, two purple Soul Rings rose from her body.

Both her First and Second Soul Rings were a thousand years old!

At the sight of the two Soul Rings, Qian Daoliu was ecstatic.

"It worked, it really worked!"

"Her First and Second Soul Rings started at a thousand years!"

"This is the first miracle on the continent!!"

Qian Daoliu hurried forward. Qian Nuo, by contrast, remained calm, showing little emotion, because he had known the outcome all along.

He was supremely confident in his understanding of Soul Masters and Soul Rings.

Qian Renxue slowly opened her eyes, a different glimmer flashing in their beautiful depths.

"Brother, Grandpa, Xiao Xue did it~"

She stood up and spoke, delighted and excited.

She wanted praise from her grandfather and brother.

Qian Daoliu stroked her head and smiled kindly. "That's my Xue'er. Sure enough, no one else can compare to you!"

Qian Renxue was delighted to receive Qian Daoliu's praise.

She turned her gaze to Qian Nuo. His praise was what she wanted most.

Qian Daoliu's love for her was that of a grandfather for his granddaughter; he had always given her nothing but praise.

But her brother Qian Nuo was different.

He had hardly ever praised her.

If she could earn his praise, it would mean he acknowledged her, and she would surely be even happier than when Qian Daoliu praised her.

But Qian Nuo did not grant her wish. Instead, he said to Qian Daoliu, "Old man, she needs to train her spiritual power next. It's to prepare her for absorbing her Third Soul Ring."

"Xue'er successfully absorbed Thousand-Year Soul Rings for her First and Second Soul Rings. There's no need to rush, is there?" Qian Daoliu asked, puzzled. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, but the idea was so absurd that he instinctively dismissed it.

Yet the very next second, Qian Nuo's words confirmed his suspicions.

Looking at the expectant Qian Renxue, Qian Nuo said calmly, "I plan to have her Third Soul Ring start at ten thousand years. Without strong enough spiritual power, she won't make it through."

Damn, that really is what he's thinking!

Qian Daoliu was shocked and cursed outright in his heart.

The corner of his mouth twitched. "There's no need to rush so much, is there? The resentment left behind when a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast dies is terrifying."

"At first, I didn't think she could absorb Thousand-Year Soul Rings for her first and second rings, but now she's succeeded. If her Third Soul Ring is still only a thousand years old, that would be too far behind!"

"Besides, the strength of a Soul Beast's resentment mainly depends on how much it suffered while it was alive. As long as I finish it off quickly enough, it won't produce too much resentment. As long as Silly Xue's spiritual power is strong enough, she can easily withstand it. On top of that, she needs even more physical training."

"There's not the slightest problem with her Third Soul Ring starting at ten thousand years."

"I was born to break what this world considers impossible."

"Just like how I can easily crush you right now, even without a Soul Ring."

Qian Nuo's voice was indifferent, every word reaching Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue's ears with perfect clarity.

Both of them were utterly shocked.

"Don't expose my embarrassing past!"

At those final words, Qian Daoliu could no longer keep a straight face.

Qian Renxue also looked eager. "Grandpa, I'll listen to Brother. I want to try absorbing a Third Soul Ring that starts at ten thousand years too!"

Qian Daoliu reached out and stroked her head. "Don't worry. Once we return, I'll have you undergo the Angel God's trial. You'll receive a spiritual power cultivation guidance method unique to the Angel God. It can increase and strengthen your spiritual power."

"That's great!" Qian Renxue was thrilled. Her goal now was to surpass her brother Qian Nuo!

"Heh, let's go. It's my turn to absorb a Soul Ring next." Qian Nuo put his hands in his pockets, turned and left.

Qian Renxue was a little downcast at not receiving her brother's praise.

Even so, she followed him with Grandpa Qian Daoliu.

Qian Daoliu asked, "Xue'er, what's your Second Soul Skill?"

Qian Renxue said, "Wings of Nothingness."

"Sure enough, it's the same." Qian Daoliu nodded when he heard.

Qian Renxue asked curiously, "Brother, how old a Soul Ring are you going to absorb for your first?"

"A hundred thousand years at least,"

Qian Nuo said.

Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue were startled. "Are you serious?"

"Did you think I was joking?" Qian Nuo said disdainfully. "The strong should absorb Soul Rings that others can't withstand. Otherwise, why was I born invincible?"

"Besides, I'll beat a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast until it sacrifices itself willingly!" Qian Nuo clenched his fist.

"The Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest are deep inside."

Qian Daoliu's expression grew grave. "Even I wouldn't dare face them alone, much less with Xue'er here."

"Take her up into the sky and watch. I alone am enough to deal with them!"

"To me, those Soul Beasts are all weaklings!"

"Because I am invincible! Born invincible!"

With his hands in his pockets, Qian Nuo stopped and half-turned to look coldly at Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue, slowly uttering those arrogant words, full of swagger.

As his words fell, a terrifyingly powerful presence burst from him!

It was like a Super Saiyan powering up. The terrifying presence made even Qian Daoliu deeply wary, and the Angel of Light in the depths of his soul was afraid too. The heat effect of light urged him to hurry and slay the great demon before him.

But after being beaten up the first time, he would never entertain that thought again.

His own will instantly suppressed it.

Qian Renxue, too, showed a trace of fear and admiration.

She was in the same state as Qian Daoliu.

The Angel of Light within her was also urging her to slay Qian Nuo, but her powerful will to protect her brother forced it back down.

"Brother, Xiao Xue believes in you! You're the most invincible of all!!" Qian Renxue gave Qian Nuo a thumbs-up.

"Silly Xue, your big brother is very pleased with your performance today." Qian Nuo looked at Qian Renxue, a very faint smile appearing on his cold face as he acknowledged her performance. With that, he turned and headed straight for the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Yay!! That's great, Brother, you finally praised Xiao Xue!!"

"Xiao Xue is so happy today!!! Super happy!!"

Having received her brother Qian Nuo's approval and praise, the overjoyed Qian Renxue let go of Qian Daoliu's hand and ran straight toward Qian Nuo.

As usual, Qian Renxue took Qian Nuo by the arm and swung it, even spinning in circles beside him. At that moment, she was happier than she had been in years.

Watching this, Qian Daoliu looked a little helpless, but happy too.

It's good that these two siblings are close. At least Xue'er won't have to be so lonely in the future.

The thought crossed Qian Daoliu's mind.

Qian Renxue was the successor chosen by the Angel God,

and as the Grand Priest, he could sense the Angel God's will.

In the future, he would sacrifice himself for Qian Renxue.

And it was hard to say what would happen with Bibi Dong by then.

She did not love Xue'er at all.

When that time came, Qian Nuo would be the only person in the world who could love Xue'er.

At least he could rest easier.

No matter what, he now also resolved to protect Qian Nuo.

If Qian Nuo died too,

Xue'er would truly be terribly lonely and heartbroken in the future.
