Tang San frowned and raised a crucial question.
"That's not right. Xiao Wu is right, isn't Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, still alive?"
He was the previous generation's possessor of the Angelic Martial Soul, so how could Qian Renxue be on the list?
This question made everyone think deeply.
After a long silence, Yu Xiao finally spoke, her voice hoarse.
"Judging from Tang Hao's previous appearance on the list, this list may be judging the strongest among the holders of martial souls."
"Therefore, there is only one answer..."
Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath and uttered a conclusion that sent chills down everyone's spine.
"That means among all the owners of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, Qian Renxue is the strongest!"
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.
After a brief silence came a cacophony of questions.
"How is this possible! How could Qian Renxue be stronger than Qian Daoliu? Qian Daoliu is a level 99 Limit Douluo!"
Oscar's eyes widened, and he was the first to express disbelief.
"Qian Renxue is only sixteen years old, right? How could a sixteen-year-old be stronger than a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo!"
"Yes! Our most talented third brother didn't become a Title Douluo until he was in his twenties!"
"When we were sixteen, we were mostly still participating in the Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies. Back then, our soul power was only around level 30, maybe level 40 at most. The difference is just too big!"
"I don't believe it! This is absolutely impossible!"
The Shrek members chattered amongst themselves, their faces filled with shock and absurdity.
Tang San was also unable to accept this fact, and he looked at his teacher.
"Teacher, is this... really true?"
Yu Xiaogang's expression was more solemn than ever before. He slowly nodded as he recalled some scattered information he had obtained from Bibi Dong.
"I once learned from Bibi Dong that Qian Renxue's talent is unparalleled throughout history, far surpassing hers."
"Not long ago, she began to participate in the inheritance test of the angel deities, also known as the Nine Trials of Angels."
"If... she has truly emerged from seclusion, then her strength might indeed surpass that of Qian Daoliu!"
Hiss!!!
The confirmed message struck like a thunderbolt, exploding in everyone's minds.
Everyone gasped, their gazes fixed on the sky filled with awe and fear.
Sixteen years old.
A thousand feet of snow!
Surpassing the level 99 Limit Douluo, Qian Daoliu!
Terrifying!
The terrifying Qian Renxue!
...
Wuhun City.
Inside the magnificent and solemn offering hall, the air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.
Qian Daoliu sat in the main seat, his aged face bearing a hint of relief at surviving a calamity. He looked at the beautiful figure standing quietly beside him and spoke sincerely.
"Thank you, Lady Cai Wenji."
"If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I would have lost my life."
Qian Daoliu's voice carried a hint of emotion.
He could sacrifice his life without hesitation for his granddaughter Qian Renxue and for the continuation of the angel clan.
This is his destiny and glory as the High Priest.
But who would want to die when they can live?
Especially when he still had the chance to witness his granddaughter reigning over the world.
The woman standing beside him held an ancient-style erhu in her arms; the instrument had smooth lines and radiated a warm luster.
She was dressed in an elegant dress, with a gentle and graceful demeanor; she was none other than Cai Wenji.
However, she has the figure of a little girl, which makes her look exceptionally cute.
Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's gratitude, she simply shook her head slightly, her voice soft and calm.
"No need for that, a grand offering."
"I was just following orders."
"Operated on orders?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu was suddenly startled.
A glint of light flashed in his cloudy eyes as he stared intently at Cai Wenji.
This woman's strength is unfathomable. That seemingly ordinary hujia zither is actually a powerful materialized martial spirit. Its mystery and power even made him feel apprehensive.
Such a powerful figure was merely following orders?
That means there's an even more terrifying presence behind her!
Who exactly is capable of commanding such a person?
A storm raged in Qian Daoliu's heart.
Just then, the enormous sky above the palace changed once again.
Golden light flowed and converged to form a new ranking list, and a sacred aura swept over the entire Martial Soul City.
Qian Daoliu subconsciously looked up, and when he saw what was on the screen, he suddenly stood up from his seat.
"What?!"
"The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul... is only ranked fifteenth?!"
His voice was shrill with shock and disbelief.
"How is this possible!"
Qian Daoliu stared intently at the sky, as if trying to see through the golden notice.
"Angelic Martial Souls rule the sky, judge all evil, and can even summon the purest and most sacred power of light between heaven and earth. What a noble existence they are!"
"They're only ranked fifteenth?"
This completely overturned his understanding.
The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul is the supreme honor bestowed upon their thousand families by the gods. It is a top-level divine martial soul that can directly inherit the position of the Angel God!
His granddaughter, Qian Renxue, possesses an unprecedented level 20 innate soul power, and her compatibility with the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul has reached an unprecedented peak!
With such talent and such a martial spirit, how could he only be ranked fifteenth?
Qian Daoliu felt a surge of blood and qi. This outcome was even more unacceptable to him than sacrificing his life.
This is a trampling of the honor of the angel race!
"Those fourteen martial spirits at the front of the list... just what kind of monsters are they?!"
Qian Daoliu's breathing became heavy, his fists clenched tightly, and his knuckles cracked from the force.
Cai Wenji, standing to the side, also revealed a hint of curiosity in her beautiful eyes.
"I didn't expect that even the legendary Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul could only rank this low?"
Her voice was very soft, as if she were talking to herself.
Meanwhile, deep within Cai Wenji's heart, a thought quietly emerged.
I wonder where my martial spirit ranks?
Brother Qianyu once said that my martial spirit is, in essence, stronger than that of a six-winged angel.
but...
A hint of reminiscence flashed in Cai Wenji's eyes.
Among my many companions at the Jixia Academy, my martial spirit ability seems to be among the lowest tier...
...
at the same time.
Jialing Pass, the central hub of the Martial Soul Empire's army, is located inside a magnificent golden hall.
The atmosphere was so oppressive it felt like it was about to freeze.
Bibi Dong leaned back on the highest papal throne, one long, shapely leg extending from the slit of her magnificent papal robe, casually crossed.
Black silk stockings hugged her perfect leg curves, and she wore a pair of exquisite purple high heels, exuding ultimate allure.
She rested her chin on one hand, her beautiful purple eyes lazily sweeping over the figures standing below.
