Douluo Dalu: Transforming Soul Rings into Soul Veins

Qian Renxue descended from the air, her posture as light as a falling feather. A faint holy light surrounded her body, like a fairy descending from the celestial realm. Sunlight shone through the clouds, plating her with a layer of golden brilliance, making the entire scene even more dreamlike and solemn.

The moment she landed, the air around seemed to quiet down. Even the wind stopped blowing, leaving only the sound of her clothes fluttering lightly, which was exceptionally clear in this moment of tranquility.

At this time, Qian Renxue was not in a simple martial soul possession state, but in the form of her Martial Soul True Body.

After cultivating the latest version of Lin Feng's "Innate Soul Evolution Art," she had achieved self-condensing Soul Veins, causing her Martial Soul True Body to also change like Bibi Dong's. It was no longer a matter of becoming the martial soul herself, but rather the power of the Martial Soul True Body evolving on her main body.

Therefore, her form at this time was not the traditional Six-Winged Angel image. She had integrated the divinity and purity of the Six-Winged Angel into her own body in a more subtle and profound way.

At this moment, behind her back, the huge wings were not directly manifested, but were phantom wings. Every strand of her lightly fluttering hair, every inch of the faint light flowing on her skin, seemed to contain the holiness of an angel.

Qian Daoliu smiled and nodded continuously. Behind him stood the other six Tributes, including the Golden Crocodile, Qing Luan, and Qianjun.

They, who had been in seclusion all year round, had gathered in the Douluo Hall today. In fact, before Qian Renxue was six years old, they had still appeared frequently. For Qian Renxue, this pearl in their palm, they were extremely doting and concerned.

It was just that later, a certain someone named Lin had appeared, and Qian Renxue had rarely gone to their homes as a guest. Especially after Lin Feng had officially abducted Qian Renxue in his ninth year, Qian Renxue had hardly met with them.

This was also the reason why later, when Qing Luan and the Golden Crocodile had first met Lin Feng, they had been slightly difficult.

A grandfather who was a Limit Douluo plus six grandfathers who were Super Douluos had watched a cabbage grow up, only for it to be suddenly abducted by someone, and then it didn't even come to see them much. Anyone would have their hackles raised.

Fortunately, they did not really hold it against Lin Feng. The Golden Crocodile had even directly given him a soul tool belt that could store living things.

Watching Qian Renxue float down, the Golden Crocodile Douluo laughed, his voice carrying a bit of heartiness and heroism. "Xue'er is worthy of being the pride of our Spirit Hall. This old one said long ago that the inheritance of this Seraphim has long been internally decided for Xue'er."

"And look at this Martial Soul True Body. Even if the ancestor were to descend, she would be far from being as perfect as our Xue'er. Our Xue'er is the best!"

The Golden Crocodile Douluo's words were full of pride and doting. At the side, the Qing Luan Douluo nodded lightly, a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, and said, "What the Golden Crocodile says is not wrong. But this latest seventh Soul Vein, the strength of the Martial Soul True Body is indeed far superior to before. Looking at Xue'er's current aura, it should be more than three times that of a normal Martial Soul True Body."

"Not to mention that in actual combat, it should be even more terrifying. Lin Feng's research is indeed unique, to actually be able to help Xue'er reach such a realm. It seems that the future of our Spirit Hall, with the two of them here, will surely be even more glorious."

The Qianjun Douluo, either intentionally or unintentionally, glanced at Lin Feng and slowly said, his voice steady and powerful, "The strength that Xue'er has shown has indeed surprised us old fellows."

"This boy, Lin Feng, although he has never come to see me and Jiangmo in the past, his help to Xue'er this time is indeed a great contribution. This kind of change in the Martial Soul True Body is simply unheard of, unseen before."

Lin Feng coughed awkwardly.

Qian Renxue smiled and withdrew her dissipated soul power, undoing her Martial Soul True Body form. She bowed slightly, saluting them, her voice crisp and pleasant. "Many thanks for the praise of all you grandfathers. Xue'er and Xiao Feng will continue to work hard and not disappoint your expectations."

"Good, good, good. Hehehe," the Golden Crocodile laughed like a hundred-year-old child.

However, they soon couldn't laugh anymore. Qian Renxue landed under the Seraphim statue and, in two or three steps, came to Lin Feng's side, far from the group of old men. Her two arms very naturally hugged Lin Feng's left arm.

Her face was overflowing with a sweet and happy smile. "How about it, Xiao Feng? I will soon catch up to you, you know?"

Qian Daoliu's expression did not change in the slightest. For this kind of public display of affection at any time, he had long been used to it, especially after knowing how wonderful the members of Lin Feng's backyard were.

But the other few Tributes did not think so. Although Qian Daoliu had already talked with them for a long time, making them finally accept the reality that Lin Feng now had five confidantes...

But to personally see their own cabbage throw them aside and be so intimate with Lin Feng, what was with this anger in their hearts?

The Golden Crocodile let out a frustrated grunt, looked at Qian Daoliu, and transmitted his voice, "Big Brother, are you really not angry at all?"

Qian Daoliu shot him an annoyed glance. "Xue'er isn't saying anything. What are you all so anxious about? She calls Bibi Dong 'sister' now! Not to mention, there is still that existence. You try provoking her?"

The group of Tributes who had received Qian Daoliu's sound transmission immediately's breath caught. To try is to die.

"And don't even think of going down to find trouble yourself. Lin Feng can now fight me to a five-five draw. Beating you all is very simple. When you lose face then, don't come crying to me."

The hearts of the Tributes were shocked. If someone else had said these words, they might still have doubted their authenticity. But for it to come from their own big brother's mouth, it was surely true without a doubt.

The Golden Crocodile's face was even more frustrated. He had known he should have taken the opportunity to beat this boy up back then. Now it was good. He couldn't beat him, and he couldn't scold him.

The Qianjun Douluo at the side chuckled lightly and transmitted his voice to the crowd, "Alright, Golden Crocodile, don't be frustrated here. For the matter of Xue'er and Lin Feng, we old generation should interfere less."

"They have their own path to walk. We just need to give them support and help at critical moments."

Jiangmo: "Qianjun is right."

Golden Crocodile: ...

"Alright, we old fellows should just retire to the second line. The future belongs to the young people. They know how to play much more than we do. It's just that, who should I vent this frustration on... Guangling, what about that fellow Dugu Bo?"

In a group of middle-aged and old people, a silver-haired, gray-robed youth was very conspicuous. That was the Guangling Douluo. He was actually over ninety years old, but his personality was like a child's. He was an "old boy," and even a little playful, proud, and tsundere.

Guangling's tone carried a smile as he slowly said, "He is now subordinate to the Pope's Hall and hasn't come to ask for a lesson for a long time. Last time I shot six arrows in a row and blew up his six poison dragons in one go. I haven't seen him since. He probably shut himself in, hahaha."

"Let's go find him, let's go find him. My hands are itching."

The Golden Crocodile rubbed his palms, a wicked look on the corner of his mouth as he left. The other Tributes, besides Guangling, also said goodbye to Qian Renxue and the others and left one after another.

The Guangling Douluo walked before Lin Feng and Qian Renxue. "Lin Feng," he deliberately dragged out his voice, a cunning light sparkling in his eyes. "I heard you've had quite a remarkable improvement recently."

"Even the Great Priest said he's almost not your match anymore. How about it? Want to spar with these old bones of mine? Let me see what you're really made of."

Lin Feng smiled faintly. He knew that although the Guangling Douluo's personality was like a child's, his strength was unfathomable. He was a rare expert in Spirit Hall. He cupped his hands and said, "Grandpa Guangling jests."

"This junior's meager skills, how would I dare to show off in front of a senior? However, if Grandpa Guangling is interested, this junior can demonstrate a little, as a way of asking for a lesson from a senior."

Hearing this, a satisfied smile appeared on the Guangling Douluo's face. He patted Lin Feng's shoulder and said, "Good kid, you've got guts! Then it's settled. Another day we'll find some time and have a good match."

"But for today, I won't disturb you two little lovebirds. Strive to let your few grandfathers hold their great-grandchildren and great-granddaughters soon, hahaha!"

"Aiya, Grandpa Guangling!!!" Qian Renxue stomped her foot shyly, a blush appearing on her face. "What are you saying..."

Seeing this, the Guangling Douluo laughed even louder, turned, and left.

Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh a few times along. Qian Renxue twisted his waist left and right with annoyance. "Still laughing, still laughing."

Qian Daoliu coughed, signaling that he was still present. The two stopped their playfulness and waited for Qian Daoliu to speak.

"In the few days you've been back, the various Tributes have already completed the condensation of their seventh Soul Vein. Their strength has all improved. Even I have stepped into half a step of the divine level. This is something I had never thought of before," Qian Daoliu's words carried a trace of emotion, his gaze deep as he looked into the distance, as if recalling the various events of the past.

"I am very much at ease leaving Spirit Hall to you. In addition, there is one thing I want to tell you. Back then, when Lin Feng was taken away by that Senior Gu Yuena, I once went to Sea God Island and had a conversation with the Great Priest of Sea God Island there. At that time, I told her about the first five paths."

"She showed great interest. Recently, a group of people have appeared in the coastal areas, inquiring about the recent events on the continent. It is very likely that they were sent by the Sea God Island side. Bi... the Pope should have already told you, right?"

Lin Feng nodded. "Dong'er has told me. That group of people came as a group. They came quickly and left quickly. Everyone on the continent knows about my affairs. They are clearly sea soul masters."

Dong'er... The corner of Qian Daoliu's mouth twitched. He nodded and continued, "It should be that Bo Saixi sent them to inquire about news. Back then, she had the thought of further inquiring about the matter of the Soul Veins."

"Sea God Island is an independent region and has always kept to itself with the continent. If she really has the thought of coming to the continent, or of condensing a Soul Vein, then it is very likely she will come looking for you."

"I hope you can grasp the propriety in this. The Sea God is one of the main culprits in my ancestor's fall. If she is on Sea God Island, there may be a possibility of communicating with the Sea God. Before you have enough strength, it is better not to set foot there."

Lin Feng nodded. He was somewhat surprised. Qian Daoliu seemed to have let go of his feelings for Bo Saixi? Although the degree of these words was not very heavy, it was already stated clearly. At this time, Bo Saixi's position with Qian Daoliu had to be moved back.

"I understand, grandfather."

"Mmm. And Xue'er, what is the first trial of your Angelic God's trial?" Qian Daoliu turned his head to look at Qian Renxue, his eyes full of expectation and concern.

Qian Renxue blinked her eyes and replied, "Grandfather, the first trial of my Angelic God's trial is 'Inheritance'. I need to look back on my experiences over these years, to savor the various states of life, and to comprehend the justice, purity, and universal love that the Seraphim represents."

"This one trial is a tempering of my character. I need to establish a firm belief in my heart to be able to better undertake the responsibility of the Seraphim in the future," Qian Renxue said with a straight face, especially when speaking of firm belief and justice and purity.

After hearing this, Qian Daoliu nodded with satisfaction. He was gratified that Qian Renxue could so clearly recognize this point. A test similar to questioning the heart?

Although he was a little surprised that this was too simple as a divine trial, since Qian Renxue was the reincarnation of the Seraphim, what doubts could he still have?

She hadn't become a god directly after accepting the divine trial. He should have been regretful. A test, the simpler the better.

Qian Daoliu continued, "Xue'er, for you to be able to understand this point shows that you are already prepared. Remember, no matter what the process of the divine trial is, the most important thing is to maintain your pure and firm heart. The power of the Seraphim comes not only from the strength of the martial soul, but even more so from the purity and justice of the heart..."

As he spoke, Qian Daoliu shook his head. Qian Renxue is the reincarnation of my ancestor. What am I doing, giving this kind of lecture? Before, when he didn't know Xue'er's identity, the lines he had practiced in his heart countless times, not to say them would be a regret.

"Let's just stop here. If there's anything, remember to come and find me."

"Mmm-hmm!!" Qian Renxue secretly stuck out her tongue. Sorry, grandfather.

Qian Renxue and Lin Feng walked towards the small wooden house in the forest. Lin Feng looked at Qian Renxue with some confusion. "Xue'er, what kind of test is looking back on one's experiences? What is the judging standard for the completion of your first trial? It can't be that just thinking about the things that have happened in these years every day is enough, right?"

Of course not. A trace of cunning flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes.

"Want to know?"

"I want to know."

The corner of Qian Renxue's mouth hooked up. She whispered in Lin Feng's ear, "If you want to know, then tonight we will seal our cultivation and perception. Your True Qi, five-element soul power, spiritual power, yin and yang qi, and so on, will all have to be temporarily sealed by Gu Yuena."

"Just like an ordinary person, we will start from the library of Spirit Hall. I will tell you what 'inheritance' means."

Lin Feng was even more puzzled. "But, even Na'er can only temporarily seal my cultivation for a few shichen now. And even if I want to, I can forcibly break the seal at the cost of some backlash."

"What can we do in these few shichen?"

"To start from the library, is it to look back on our acquaintance and getting to know each other? In that case, wouldn't it be the same without sealing my cultivation?"

Qian Renxue glared. "Do you still want to know or not!?"

Seeing this, Lin Feng hurriedly nodded. "I want to, I want to, of course I want to."

Only then did Qian Renxue smile with satisfaction, a trace of mystery flashing in her eyes. "You will know when the time comes. In short, this first trial, for me, is not just a review of the past, but also a baptism of the soul. And, with you by my side, everything will become different."

Although Lin Feng still had doubts in his heart, seeing Qian Renxue so firm, he did not ask more. The two walked side by side on the small path in the forest, enjoying this peace and harmony.

"Gu Yuena, I'll have to trouble you," Qian Renxue said softly.

Gu Yuena nodded. She waved her two hands lightly, and one after another of silver lights enveloped Lin Feng. Lin Feng only felt a powerful force pour into his body, temporarily sealing all his cultivation, perception, True Qi, five-element soul power, spiritual power, and yin and yang qi.

Just like an ordinary person, without any extraordinary great power, besides the strength of his physical body. He looked at Qian Renxue with some astonishment. "Why don't you need it, Xue'er?"

The corner of Gu Yuena's eye narrowed slightly. She chuckled lightly. "Xue'er is the one being assessed in the divine trial. She doesn't need to be so troublesome." Lin Feng still wanted to ask something, but Qian Renxue directly pulled him and walked towards the library.

???

"Now, we can begin," Qian Renxue took Lin Feng's hand and walked into the library.

As the two arrived, the lights in the library returned to full brightness. The bookshelves were filled with all sorts of books. Qian Renxue led Lin Feng shuttling between the bookshelves, stopping from time to time to pull out a book she had read before. "Xiao Feng, do you still remember this one?"

"Of course. This is the 'Initial Explanation of Spider-Type Martial Souls', listing the brief types and characteristics of the martial souls. I later also added the specific location of the introduction booklet for each martial soul."

"Mmm, and this, 'Spider-Type Soul Beasts'. It also says on it that spiders like to bind their prey and bring them to the spiderweb in their nests. I wonder if it's true..."

"That's a soul beast's habit. I've also seen in a book..."

Half a shichen later, Lin Feng looked at Qian Renxue's ill-intentioned gaze and the Angel Chains in her hand, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "Xue'er, what are you trying to do?"

Qian Renxue smiled radiantly. "Of course it's to conduct the divine trial."

Lin Feng's eyebrow raised, his heart inexplicably accelerating. "No, this divine trial of yours, is it proper or not?"

Qian Renxue's willow-like brows furrowed slightly. "Of course it's proper. This is the first judgment of an angel on evil!" Her fair hand pressed on Lin Feng's shoulder. The next moment, the two had already appeared in a secret room. The arrangement of this secret room was exactly the same as Bibi Dong's, almost completely identical.

Qian Renxue pulled the Angel Chains in her two hands, bound Lin Feng with them, and threw him onto the bed with one hand.

Qian Renxue straddled him, the corners of her eyes full of smiles. "Now I will teach you what is inheritance~ I have heard from that good sister that back then, for the latter half of the time, it was you who took the initiative~"

"You tell me, shouldn't you accept judgment!?"

Lin Feng's eyes widened. He had never expected that Qian Renxue would actually play this trick. It's bad. The little angel has gone bad!

"Xue'er, is this the divine trial you set yourself?"

"Hmph, you shut up first!"

Qian Renxue shot out a stream of soul power. Lin Feng was instantly unable to speak.

She bent down. "Next, it's my time! You learned to use whale gel on me, right? Then this time, I'll use several times more than she did!"
