The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 129 Qian Daoliu and Xia Liang

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue and the other six elders all showed expressions of utter surprise.

"Grandpa, are you serious?" Qian Renxue stared at Qian Daoliu in surprise.

Qian Daoliu nodded. "No one has ever possessed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger as their Martial Soul, and no Soul Master has ever dared to absorb its Soul Ring. This is because such Soul Beasts possess the ultimate evil attribute bestowed by an evil god. I admire the courage of your sworn brother who dared to covet the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger."

"Furthermore, his skeletal martial soul possesses the inheritance of a dark god. I'm very curious about what kind of god that is, and at the same time, I'm worried that something might go wrong during his absorption of the Dark Demon God Tiger Soul Ring. Therefore, I'll help him personally this time."

Upon hearing this account, Qian Renxue was overjoyed; she never expected that her grandfather would intervene.

"Uncle Jin, I'll be in charge of the overall management of the Offering Hall while I'm away."

As the voice faded, Qian Daoliu's body flickered illusoryly, and he suddenly disappeared near the futon.

The next moment, he appeared in front of Qian Renxue as if he had vanished into thin air.

"Let's go, Xiaoxue. While we're hunting soul beasts, Grandpa wants to test whether your strength has improved. Don't disappoint Grandpa." As he spoke, Qian Daoliu gently rubbed Qian Renxue's head.

Qian Renxue showed none of the restraint and resistance she displayed when facing her grandfather's affectionate behavior, unlike when she was with Xia Liang. Instead of reacting negatively to being patted on the head, she appeared obedient and respectful.

The grandfather and granddaughter chatted as they walked out of the ancestral hall.

Only after the two figures disappeared from the range of spiritual power did the other worshippers begin to discuss the matter.

For a junior like Xia Liang to be able to get a level 99 peerless Douluo to come down from the mountain to help hunt soul beasts, he is probably one of a kind.

The next day.

Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.

Inside the hall.

Facing south, there is a position of nobility no less than that of an emperor, where there is a throne.

Pope Bibidon was sitting there, listening attentively to the report from Platinum Bishop Salas about the recent deadly battle in Tiandou City.

The battlefield was right outside Heaven Dou City. Haotian Douluo and Poison Douluo were locked in a fierce battle, and almost all the powerful Soul Masters living near Heaven Dou City were drawn to it.

Some powerful individuals who went to join the fun were killed by the aftershocks of the battle.

As the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City, Salas was fortunate to have the strength of an eight-ring peak Soul Douluo; otherwise, he would have been dead long ago, and there would be no reason for him to be here reporting to the Pope.

After hearing the whole story, not only were the two Douluo, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, standing on the left and right sides of the throne, but even Bibi Dong, who was sitting on the throne, was taken aback.

The long-reclusive Haotian Douluo suddenly appears and clashes with the Poison Douluo.

This conflict ended with the death of Haotian Douluo. If one hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would believe it was true?

"Salas, are you sure the Title Douluo fighting the Old Poison Master is Tang Hao?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan looked incredulous. "That old poisoner can't even beat me, how could he possibly kill Tang Hao?"

Salas said solemnly, "There's no mistake, Elder Ju. That Title Douluo wielding the Clear Sky Hammer, even if it's not Tang Hao, is still inextricably linked to the Clear Sky Sect."

"The Haotian Sect has two Douluo. If it's not Tang Hao, then it must be his elder brother, Tang Xiao."

Ghost Douluo Ghostly suddenly spoke up, "When the Spirit Hall was chasing the Clear Sky Sect before, I saw Tang Xiao take action. He didn't have a 100,000-year spirit ring, but Tang Hao..."

At this point, Gui Mei glanced at Yue Guan, and the two of them looked at Bibi Dong together.

With just a simple exchange of glances, Bibi Dong understood what the two Douluo, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, wanted to convey.

When they were chasing the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor, both Douluo Chrysanthemum and Ghost were present. They witnessed the Blue Silver Emperor's sacrifice, which became Tang Hao's ninth spirit ring.

Therefore, the titled Douluo who fought against Poison Douluo, possessing both the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul and a 100,000-year soul ring, is most likely Tang Hao.

Yue Guan was still somewhat incredulous. "That old poisoner actually managed to kill Tang Hao. Could it be that Tang Hao has become this weak after the battle many years ago?"

Salas suddenly remembered something, "Elder Ju, to be precise, Haotian Douluo was killed by a young man."

"What did you say?" Yue Guan was even more confused. "What's going on?"

"Besides Haotian Douluo and Poison Douluo, there were other people on the battlefield at that time. They were roughly divided into two camps. Poison Douluo and his grandson-in-law, and Haotian Douluo and the once famous Golden Iron Triangle combination."

After listening to Salas's account, a strange glint flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, who had been silent all along.

What she cared about wasn't Poison Douluo and Haotian Douluo, but the Golden Iron Triangle combination.

Memories flooded her mind, and Bibi Dong's face showed a complex expression. Only after Salas finished recounting everything that had happened in Tiandou City not long ago did she wake up from her reverie.

Gripping the scepter tightly in her hand, the strange look in Bibi Dong's eyes had turned into rage.

From Salas's description, she learned that Haotian Douluo was killed by Poison Douluo's grandson-in-law. What angered her was that Poison Douluo's grandson-in-law had actually destroyed the lifeblood of Master of Wisdom, one of the Golden Iron Triangles.

Aside from Bibi Dong herself, probably only Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo present knew that the master of the Wisdom Corner of the Golden Iron Triangle was named Yu Xiaogang.

This person is not only the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's leader and an honorary elder of the Spirit Hall, but also has an ambiguous relationship with the current Pope, Bibi Dong.

Noticing the anger and killing intent in Bibi Dong's eyes, the two Douluo, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, exchanged a glance, one shaking his head and the other nodding, and finally decided not to speak.

"Salas, you did a good job. Thanks to your timely report, we were able to find out Tang Hao's whereabouts. The death of a Title Douluo in the Clear Sky Sect is a good thing for the Spirit Hall. If there's nothing else to report, then go back to Heaven Dou City and do your job." Bibi Dong finally spoke, her voice carrying a sense of threat.

As an outsider, Salas naturally had no idea what relationship Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang had. After respectfully paying his respects, he turned and left.

"Wait!" Bibi Dong's voice was noticeably more terrifying than before after her sharp shout. "Bishop Salas, you must thoroughly investigate the identity of Poison Douluo's grandson-in-law in Heaven Dou City. This man was able to perform a Spirit Fusion Technique with Poison Douluo and kill Tang Hao. If he is allowed to grow stronger in the future, he will undoubtedly become the Spirit Hall's greatest enemy. Once you find his whereabouts, be sure to report it immediately."

"Of course, if you can capture this person alive and bring him to the Papal Palace without the help of Poison Douluo, I will give you a great reward."

Sensing the murderous intent in the Pope's tone, Salas dared not be negligent and replied, "Yes, sir!"

Ten days later.

Starry Sky Forest, entrance.

At Qian Renxue's request, Xia Liang came to the Star Dou Great Forest alone. As soon as he arrived at his destination, he immediately spotted Qian Renxue standing near the entrance.

In addition, a blond man was standing next to Qian Renxue.

The man appeared to be only in his thirties or forties, handsome with a faint smile on his face. His calm and serene demeanor gave people a very comfortable feeling.

According to Qian Renxue, this blond man should be Qian Daoliu.

On their journey to gather in the Star Dou Great Forest, Qian Daoliu will not only help Qian Renxue obtain her sixth soul ring, but will also assist in hunting down the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

As stated in the original work, Qian Daoliu is the guardian of the Angel God, known as the invincible one in the sky. Not only has his strength reached the level of a demigod, but he can also use the divine power bestowed by the Angel God.

As Xia Liang walked towards Qian Daoliu, he found himself looking up at a mountain, as if the Titan Snow Demon King and Tang Hao he had encountered before were nothing more than a strong wind.

The one before us is a hurricane capable of destroying everything.

Surprisingly, despite possessing such terrifying strength, Qian Daoliu did not exude a suffocating aura, nor did he exert any mental pressure when making eye contact with him.

However, Xia Liang knew that this did not mean Qian Daoliu was easy to talk to. If he offended this person, he would truly die without a burial place.

To avoid being misunderstood, Xia Liang didn't even dare to use his X-ray vision to investigate.

At this moment, golden light surged, and Qian Daoliu's figure flashed, appearing five meters in front of Xia Liang. An indescribable holy aura instantly swept around them.

Xia Liang took three steps back to steady himself. His external eye bones suddenly activated, his eyes turned dark gold, and his body was wrapped in black and purple ribs. All his life-saving skills were activated subconsciously.

Seeing the two yellow, one purple, and two black spirit rings shining on Xia Liang's body, a strange light flashed in Qian Daoliu's eyes. Just as his granddaughter had said, this fourth spirit ring of ten thousand years was absorbed by a person of a higher level due to his powerful physical qualities.

Qian Daoliu spoke up, "I can't sense a trace of a divine-level martial soul on you. Child, are you truly the inheritor of some dark god?"

"Yes." Xia Liang responded and activated the Fusion Ring skill. After the five soul rings merged, the blackish-purple ribs covering him first grew into a half-skull form, and finally became a skeletal Susanoo half-armor form that was twelve meters tall.

At this moment, Qian Daoliu finally sensed an aura from Xia Liang that was comparable to a god-level martial soul. If given enough time to grow, this skeleton martial soul might truly evolve into the form of a certain god.

"Do you know how powerful the Dark Demon God Tiger is?" Qian Daoliu asked.

"I know." Xia Liang deactivated his Bone-Transformed Susanoo half-body armor form, met Qian Daoliu's gaze, and said, "The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is a super soul beast with the bloodline of an evil god. It possesses darkness and extreme evil attributes. If we absorb its soul ring, we might be able to use the bloodline of the evil god to fill the dark god's origin of the Skeleton Martial Soul, making it easier to revert to the appearance of that god. High Priest, you are Brother Xue's grandfather, and also my grandfather. Now, you are the only person I can turn to for help."

"Don't worry, child. Now that I'm here, I'll definitely help you," Qian Daoliu said hesitantly. "However, for your safety, I need to test your physical fitness and mental strength. The spirit ring of a 60,000-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is not something an ordinary spirit master can absorb."

Upon hearing this, Xia Liang suggested, "Great Elder, why don't we conduct the test in my spiritual world? That way, the commotion won't be too great."

"Oh." Qian Daoliu was somewhat surprised. "You only have level 60 soul power, yet you were able to open up a spiritual world?"

"Yes," Xia Liang explained, "My Skeleton Martial Soul possesses top-tier mental attributes. In a sense, once my soul power breaks through level ninety, I can also call myself a Title Douluo of the Mental type."

"It seems your martial spirit is indeed extraordinary." Qian Daoliu smiled with satisfaction. "Child, in that case, let's go to the spiritual world to conduct the test."

"Okay, thank you." Xia Liang replied and closed his eyes.

Qian Daoliu gently touched Xia Liang's forehead with his index finger, and the two instantly formed a connection, their consciousnesses entering the gray spiritual world together.

"Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Qian Renxue couldn't help but ask. She had already been confused ever since the term "spiritual world" came up.

Seeing that her grandfather had closed his eyes and was not answering her questions, Qian Renxue did not ask any more. She was alert to her surroundings to avoid being disturbed.

Much later.

Qian Daoliu slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xia Liang in front of him, a look of surprise showing on his face.

He had just had a sparring session with Xia Liang in the spiritual world, and that's how he figured out how much potential this person had.

Putting aside whether the Skeleton Martial Soul has divine inheritance, just looking at the three attributes that the Martial Soul comes with—darkness, spirit, and space—which one of these attributes isn't a rare existence?

Moreover, besides spatial attributes, darkness and spirit are both top-tier attributes.

What surprised Qian Daoliu the most was Xia Liang's age.

At only sixteen years old, this Quasi-Soul Emperor's talent in cultivation has far surpassed that of Tang Chen, the number one genius of the Clear Sky Sect who once defeated him.

The Quasi-Soul Emperor realm means that one can still absorb four soul rings.

If every subsequent spirit ring can be obtained from a spirit beast with dark and spiritual attributes, then the dark and spiritual attributes of the Skeleton Martial Soul have a high probability of becoming ultimate attributes.

This ultimate attribute exists only in the legends of the Thousand Family Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

With the potential to cultivate dual extreme attributes, and the ability to perform a martial soul fusion skill with his granddaughter's six-winged angel martial soul, Xia Liang's descendant is definitely the best choice to be his granddaughter's husband.

Qian Daoliu regrets that this junior became the grandson-in-law of the Poison Douluo.

Although his granddaughter has become his sworn brother, how can the name of brotherhood compare to the intimacy of marriage?

Thinking of all this, Qian Daoliu sighed helplessly.

Xia Liang had just opened his eyes, and thinking that his performance in the sparring match had disappointed Qian Daoliu, he asked somewhat guiltily, "Great Elder, are my physical attributes and mental strength sufficient to absorb the 60,000-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Soul Ring?"

"Of course. Child, whether it's physical fitness or mental strength, you've already reached the level of an ordinary Title Douluo. You can at least absorb a sixth spirit ring with a 90,000-year limit."

Hearing Qian Daoliu's affirmation, Xia Liang finally relaxed and respectfully said, "Then, Grand Elder, I'll have to trouble you to take action later."

Outside the Starry Sky Forest, in a valley shrouded in mist.

Inside a cave, a huge tiger is sleeping.

It was a giant tiger, entirely black, over eight meters long, with the character "王" (king) on ​​its head in pure black.

What's most peculiar is its tail. Compared to other tigers, its tail is made up of countless segments of tailbone, with a blackish-purple barb at the very top.

If you look closely, you'll find that this giant black tiger has a pair of corrupted wings on its back, exuding a strong aura of darkness and evil.
