Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 263 Initiating the Angelic Trial

After returning to Wuhun City, Qian Daoliu didn't even go back to the Hall of Worship before immediately heading to find Ye Liangchen.

When Qian Daoliu found Ye Liangchen, he discovered that the guy was in a pavilion on a mountaintop, bragging to a group of young people including Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Yan, Jin Yue'er, Qingming, and the Qian Gu brothers.

Seeing the young people from the Spirit Hall chatting and laughing with Ye Liangchen, Qian Daoliu smiled with satisfaction.

However, when Qian Daoliu saw a tall, blonde beauty next to Ye Liangchen, his eyes lit up. He thought to himself: This girl is comparable to my granddaughter Qian Renxue! Where did this little one come from?

"Greetings, High Priest."

When the group of young people from the Spirit Hall saw Qian Daoliu arrive, they immediately bowed respectfully.

"Grandpa, you're back." Qian Renxue excitedly pulled the old man over to sit down and personally poured him tea.

"No need for formalities! Don't mind this old man." Qian Daoliu waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to sit down.

"Senior, we meet again."

Ye Liangchen also greeted Qian Daoliu.

"You've finally decided to come to the Spirit Hall, buddy. When are you going to arrange the divine test for Xue'er?"

"I've been waiting for you to come back. I came to Wuhun City this time to arrange the divine test for Sister Xue."

"Thank you then. As long as Xue'er becomes a goddess, the Rakshasa Cult won't be able to cause any trouble."

"Senior, how did you feel about your fight against Blood-Eyed Douluo?"

"The opponent is of similar strength to me, and has five Super Douluo under his command. Their overall strength is very powerful, and we are not at an advantage. I am a little worried. If we retreat, the Rakshasa Church will cause trouble."

"Don't worry, senior! Rakshasa God's goal is to pass on his godhood to Tang San so he can escape. The great war won't happen until Tang San becomes a god. Besides, several gods will also appear on our side, and they will be stronger than him. The day he becomes a god will be the day he perishes. There's a saying: 'Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.'"

"You're right. With you in charge, I feel very reassured."

Qian Daoliu and Ye Liangchen talked about the Rakshasa Cult like two old friends, which surprised Hu Liena and the others.

"This guy is really good at talking."

As Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and the others watched Ye Liangchen talk to the Grand Elder with such ease, they thought to themselves: So this is how big the gap is between us and him.

"Who is this girl? I feel like her aura is very similar to our angelic lineage!"

Qian Daoliu looked at Jin Ling'er and asked Ye Liangchen.

"This is my younger sister, Jin Ling'er. Grandpa, what do you think? Isn't she great?"

Qian Renxue held Jin Ling'er's hand and showed off to Qian Daoliu.

"Xue'er, where did you get your little sister from?"

When Qian Daoliu heard that Qian Renxue had a younger sister, he was completely dumbfounded.

"Pfft...!" Hu Liena, Jin Yue'er, and the others couldn't help but laugh when they saw Qian Daoliu's bewildered expression.

"Senior, Ling'er is my younger sister. She is Sister Na's family member. She came out with me for a trip. As for what you said about her being similar to your angel lineage, that's because she possesses the dual attributes of ultimate fire and ultimate light."

"Ultimate fire? Ultimate light? That's incredible!"

When Ye Liangchen revealed that Jin Ling'er possessed two extreme attribute powers, everyone was stunned.

"Girl! Can you release your martial spirit so I can see it?" Qian Daoliu's sixth sense told him that Jin Ling'er's talent was even more extraordinary than his granddaughter's.

"Brother Ye." Jin Ling'er turned her head to look at Ye Liangchen, her eyes asking.

"It's alright, release him! This is Senior Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall. He means no harm." Ye Liangchen gestured to the little girl to demonstrate his strength.

"Yes! I was just curious." Qian Daoliu smiled.

"Buzz...!"

"My martial soul is called the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, just as Brother Ye said, it possesses the ultimate light and the ultimate fire."

As soon as Jin Ling'er unleashed her martial soul, golden light radiated outwards, and a golden lion dog appeared behind her, with a vertical eye on its forehead. Three soul rings, one purple and one black, slowly rose up, creating an incomparably dazzling sight.

"My god! A combination of two purple and three black spirit rings! This is too overpowered."

"This soul ring combination is even more powerful than Young Master Ye's."

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and their group were utterly astonished by the impressive spirit ring.

"Are all young people these days this amazing?"

Qian Daoliu muttered to himself, his granddaughter could have absorbed a soul ring beyond her level, but because of his ignorance, he had taught the little girl to be just an ordinary genius.

"Little Chen, is Ling'er also a Divine Examiner?"

Qian Renxue had seen Ye Liangchen's current soul ring setup, which was two purple and four black. That was after he passed the Divine Trial and received the Divine Trial reward, which increased the age of all his soul rings.

"Sister Xue, Ling'er isn't a Divine Examiner. Think about it, with Sister Na's help, it'll be a piece of cake for Ling'er to absorb a spirit ring beyond her age limit."

In order to cover up Jin Ling'er's identity, Ye Liangchen had no choice but to lie in a serious manner to fool everyone.

"Yes! Sister Na helped me get these spirit rings." Jin Ling'er immediately agreed, understanding Ye Liangchen's intention to cover for her.

"Ling'er, how about we have a little sparring session?"

Qian Renxue looked at Jin Ling'er's exaggerated soul ring combination and wanted to test her combat power.

Hu Liena and her group all looked on with amusement, eager to see Qian Renxue's true strength.

"Ah! Sister Xue, you want to fight me?"

Jin Ling'er put away her martial spirit, a playful expression on her face, and looked at Qian Renxue.

"Xue'er, you can't beat Ling'er."

Qian Daoliu sensed that Jin Ling'er was very powerful, especially her physical body, which was far superior to Qian Renxue's. If the two women were to fight, his granddaughter would undoubtedly be defeated.

"Sister Xue, although Ling'er's soul power is only level 56, she possesses the ultimate light and ultimate fire, and her physical strength is even greater than yours. It shouldn't be a problem for her to defeat you, a low-level Soul Emperor."

Ye Liangchen also reminded Qian Renxue that there was no need to challenge anything.

Jin Ling'er possesses the bloodline of the Golden Dragon, granting her immense power. She is an absolute violent maniac, and once a fight breaks out, Qian Renxue will have no chance of gaining the upper hand.

"Grandpa, Little Chen, are you two looking down on me?"

Qian Renxue felt a little unhappy because both of them looked down on her.

"Xue'er, you have to learn to accept reality."

Qian Daoliu looked at his granddaughter with a smile. This girl was good in every way, except that she was a bit proud and competitive. If this continued, she would inevitably suffer losses. Fortunately, Ye Liangchen, this prodigy, was able to keep her in check and prevent her from being arrogant.

"Little Chen, hurry up and arrange a divine test for me. I also want to increase the age of my soul rings."

Qian Renxue urgently needs to improve her strength in order to participate in the future God War, lest she become a mere spectator and lose face.

"Xiao Chen, starting the Divine Trial is no ordinary event. I need to go back and make all the preparations first. I will inform you later."

Qian Daoliu flew away and returned to the Hall of Worship. As a servant of the gods, he understood his mission, but he was willing to sacrifice himself so that his granddaughter could become a god.

Three days later, Qian Daoliu sent someone to inform Ye Liangchen that everything was ready.

Bibi Dong also wanted to see Qian Renxue begin the divine test, so she took Jin Ling'er and Ye Liangchen to the sacred mountain in the offering hall.

Wow! This mountain is so high!

Upon arriving at the foot of the sacred mountain, Jin Ling'er looked at the steep steps and felt as if the mountain was about to reach the sky.

"Xiao Chen, Ling'er, this is the sacred mountain where the Hall of Worship is located. The Hall of Worship is also called the Douluo Hall. There is a monument to heroes inside, which enshrines the names of the titled Douluo who died in the history of the Spirit Hall... We can only go up there."

Bibi Dong led the two little ones up the mountain, explaining the mysterious Douluo Palace as they went.

The Spirit Hall has a rule that anyone who sets foot on the sacred mountain where the Hall of Worship is located must walk up step by step; flying spirit masters are not allowed to fly up directly.

When the three of them reached the summit of the sacred mountain, they saw an ancient and solemn palace.

"Buzzing..."

Ye Liangchen released his divine sense and probed into the Angel Temple. He found that in the very center of the temple, there were nine golden plaques engraved with images of angels. Above them was a lifelike statue of an angel holding a golden longsword. This statue was slightly different from the one in front of the Pope's Palace and appeared to be more ancient.

Qian Renxue was kneeling in the middle of the nine plaques, facing the angel statue, with her hands clasped in front of her chest, praying devoutly.

"What are you kneeling for? You are the reincarnation of an angel god."

Seeing Qian Renxue kneeling on the ground, Ye Liangchen couldn't help but complain, "Without a god to help you start the divine test, kneeling a lot is useless."

"Holy crap! This Angel Temple is actually a large-scale soul tool."

Ye Liangchen used his divine sense to examine the internal structure of the entire temple and discovered that, like the Sea God Temple, the Angel Temple was also a large soul tool. No wonder in the original story, Qian Renxue's golden liquid divine test was projected in the air for people to see.

In the original storyline, the Sea God put Qian Renxue through such a strange divine test, which was actually a deliberate attempt to disgust the Angel God.

With my intervention this time, the old bachelor Sea God can no longer interfere in Qian Renxue's divine test, and the matter of the golden liquid should not occur.

"This mental fluctuation? How can it be so powerful?"

When Ye Liangchen's divine sense probed into the Angel Temple, Qian Daoliu, who was sitting cross-legged in a room above the temple, immediately opened his eyes, walked to the window, and looked outside.

"Hehe...! So it's that little guy."

When Qian Daoliu saw that Ye Liangchen had already arrived at the mountaintop and was still closing his eyes, he knew that it was that little guy who was behind it.

"Brother Ye, why did you close your eyes?"

As Jin Ling'er walked, she noticed that Ye Liangchen beside her had closed his eyes and stopped walking. Feeling strange, she reached out to try and wake him up.

"Shh! Ling'er, don't disturb him, Xiao Chen's soul has already left his body."

Bibi Dong immediately grabbed Jin Ling'er's hand to prevent the little girl from disturbing Ye Liangchen.

"Ah! Brother Ye's soul has left his body, what is he going to do?" Jin Ling'er asked curiously.

"He is investigating the entire Temple of Angels."

From the mental fluctuations emanating from Ye Liangchen, Bibi Dong sensed the target Ye Liangchen was trying to investigate.

"Buzzing..."

"Ling'er, what are you looking at?"

When Ye Liangchen woke up, he saw Jin Ling'er staring intently at him.

"Brother Ye, what did you find out?" Jin Ling'er grabbed Ye Liangchen's hand and asked curiously.

"It's nothing, let's go in. The Grand Elder is probably getting impatient."

Ye Liangchen beckoned to the two women and they headed towards the Douluo Hall. Soon, the three of them arrived at the very center of the Douluo Hall.

"Xiao Chen, it's up to you now. Xue'er has been kneeling for three days, but the statue hasn't reacted at all."

Qian Daoliu now understands what Ye Liangchen said before: the Angel God is dead, and without the help of other gods, Qian Renxue will not be able to start the divine test.

"Sister Xue, stop kneeling, get up quickly. Don't you think it's strange to kneel before yourself?"

Ye Liangchen was speechless as he watched Qian Renxue still kneeling quietly on the ground, so he simply woke her up.

In the original story, this girl knelt for over a hundred days. It was probably because the Sea God couldn't bear to see her like that that he helped her activate the Divine Trial, and incidentally used her as a whetstone for his successor, Tang San.

"I told him I didn't need to kneel, but Grandpa insisted I kneel. After kneeling for three days, my legs were numb."

Upon hearing Ye Liangchen's words, Qian Renxue immediately got up from the ground.

"Hehe...! Xiaoxue, didn't you tell your grandpa? Are you stupid?" Bibi Dong looked at Qian Renxue with a smile, feeling that this girl was hopeless.

"Xiao Chen, what did you mean when you said Xue'er knelt down on herself?" Qian Daoliu's mind was buzzing; he was too surprised.

"It means that your granddaughter is the reincarnation of the previous angel god's soul. Now you are making Xiaoxue kneel to the angel god's statue, which is equivalent to making her kneel to herself."

"I see."

After listening to Bibi Dong's explanation, Qian Daoliu suddenly realized that the Qian family had never produced a genius with innate level 20 soul power before, which was due to the divine gift of the angels.

"Goddess, please set up a divine test for this generation of angel gods."

Ye Liangchen closed his eyes and used his soul to awaken the divine thoughts of the Goddess of Life in his sea of ​​souls.

"Buzzing..."

The next moment, the divine manifestation of the Goddess of Life appeared on Ye Liangchen's forehead.

"Greetings, Goddess." Qian Daoliu immediately bowed respectfully to the Goddess of Life.

"Hmm! There's no need for that."

The Goddess of Life nodded, then pointed at Qian Renxue, summoning her Angelic Martial Soul.

"Hmm! This generation's angel god is actually an eight-winged angel, very good, stronger than the previous generation."

The Goddess of Life believes that with Qian Renxue's current aptitude, she may have the opportunity to break through to the God King level in the future.

"Goddess, set up nine normal divine tests for her!" Ye Liangchen reminded the Goddess of Life, lest she create another live stream of golden liquid.

"Don't worry! I'll take care of it."

The Goddess of Life communicated with the divine being in the divine realm through divine thoughts, helping Qian Renxue to begin her divine trial.

"Buzzing..."

Soon after, the angel statue emitted golden light, as if it had come to life, and the nine plaques around Qian Renxue also lit up at the same time.

"Swish..."

At this moment, golden light burst forth from Qian Renxue's body, illuminating the entire temple and soaring into the sky, bathing the entire Martial Soul City in that golden light.

"The Nine Tests of the Angels..."

Seeing the glory of the angel god reappear in his granddaughter, Qian Daoliu was so excited that he almost jumped up.

"The Nine Trials of the Angels have been activated, Qian Renxue, do your best!"

After activating the Angelic Trial, the Goddess of Life returned to Ye Liangchen's soul sea.

"Thank you for your help, Goddess of Life." Qian Daoliu bowed respectfully to the air.

"The angels have appeared."

"The angels have appeared."

"..."

At the same time, all the people of Wuhun City were stunned by this strange phenomenon, and then they all knelt down in the direction of Douluo Hall to worship.

"Buzzing..."

At the moment when the people knelt down in worship, the faith of countless people transformed into golden light, continuously converging towards the Douluo Palace.
