Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

Angelic Holy City, Imperial Royal Martial Soul Academy.

The Angel Empire unified the two continents, bringing peace and tranquility to the nation. The Angel Empress decreed the establishment of the Imperial Royal Martial Soul Academy in the capital city of Angel Holy City.

With the Empire's unwavering support, countless geniuses flocked to the Imperial Royal Martial Soul Academy, which rapidly rose to prominence and became known as one of the three great academies of the Angel Empire, along with the Imperial Royal Technology Academy and Shrek Academy.

All three academies are comprehensive academies, each with its own focus. The Imperial Royal Technology Academy was formerly the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. After the name change, its teaching is more focused on soul tools. Shrek Academy, on the other hand, has a profound foundation and is famous for its cultivation aided by the power of light from the ancient golden tree and the ten-thousand-year-old soul master holy land.

The Imperial Royal Martial Soul Academy is the most comprehensive, with both the Soul Master and Soul Instructor academies equipped with incredibly powerful faculty and extremely abundant resources, boasting titled Douluo, level nine Soul Instructors, and level one hundred True Gods.

The first deity, the Rainbow God, the national teacher of the Angel Empire, and the former sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengya, served as the dean. With her lofty status, as long as she opened her mouth, even the Angel God King would have to obediently call her "Mom" and obediently give her public lectures.

Xie Qin and Du Weilun are the vice dean and the director of teaching, respectively. They dislike each other and often challenge each other to a fight because the dean said one more word to the other.

The Imperial Royal Academy only considers talent, not background. Nobles and commoners are treated equally. Any second-ring Soul Master under the age of twelve who meets the requirements can be admitted.

After enrollment, students receive a full tuition waiver, double their monthly stipend, and are provided with free access to facilities such as the simulated training grounds and battle arenas every week. Upon graduation, students are guaranteed admission to the Angelic Temple.

The Imperial Royal Martial Soul Academy barely makes any money, but the essence of this academy is not to make money, but to cultivate top talents for the empire. Therefore, the empire bears all the expenses of the academy.

Of course, the world is always fair; there's no such thing as a free lunch. Students who receive the best treatment will also undergo the most rigorous elimination process. The assessment standards are clearly stated; if you feel you can't meet them, then please apply to another academy.

It's enrollment season again, and Angel City is overflowing with people, gathering geniuses from all over the world. The registration office of the Imperial Royal Martial Soul Academy is packed with people; one brick could kill three sect leaders.

"Qian Muxue, the Imperial Royal Martial Soul Academy welcomes you."

The teacher at the registration office handed out the admission notice.

"Thanks."

The girl smiled slightly, and the world seemed to shine for her. She wore a gorgeous and exquisite golden dress, her long golden hair was casually draped behind her head, she was tall and slender, with fair skin and a beautiful face that was as exquisite as a painting.

Passing through the registration area, the girl slowly stepped into the Imperial Royal Martial Soul Academy, leaving behind a lingering, pleasant fragrance.

After the girl left, the teacher at the registration desk didn't rush to call in the next applicant for testing. She adjusted the edge of her black-rimmed glasses, looked at Qian Muxue's information, and muttered to herself:

"Six-winged angel martial soul, could this Qian Muxue be a descendant of the Angel God King...?"

No, even among the descendants of the Angel God King, only Prince Ling Yao inherited the six-winged angel.

Wait a minute, the six-winged angel of the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago seemed to be surnamed Qian. Could it be a bloodline left over from the Spirit Hall?

"Fine, I'll write a report and ask the higher-ups."

Qian Muxue entered the Imperial Royal Martial Soul Academy. The environment was beautiful, with abundant and lush vegetation. No matter which direction she looked, she could see more than a dozen carefully pruned plants.

Walking a hundred meters along the avenue, a huge angel statue blocked the view. It was made of precious and rare metals such as diamonds and refined gold, and radiated a holy and dazzling light.

The angel held a holy sword in one hand and a nine-colored pagoda in the other. Twelve eternally burning golden wings were spread out, as if he were about to fly to the human world at any time to bring hope and peace.

Every city in the Angel Empire has an angel statue, but only a few are special, having been blessed by the divine power of the Angel God King. The Imperial Royal Martial Soul Academy is undoubtedly one of them.

Qian Muxue gazed at the twelve-winged angel statue. A sacred hymn echoed faintly in the air. The six-winged angel bloodline within her was sublimated, and her soul seemed to be purified, with all her worries and troubles dissipating.

"Angel King..."

Two golden flames ignited in her beautiful eyes in an instant. Qian Muxue had grown up listening to the legends of the Angel God King, who eliminated the Death Prison, destroyed the Holy Spirit, slew the Dragon Emperor and the Demon Phoenix, unified the four great empires, and annihilated the evil Sea God.

The Angel Empire's current prosperity is largely attributable to the Angel God-King.

Qian Muxue was an orphan raised by Saint Douluo, the commander of the Angel Royal Legion. She always felt that awakening her six-winged angel was a stroke of luck and destiny, and longed to meet the Angel God King.

Saintly Douluo is a descendant of the Angel Legion from ten thousand years ago and one of the Angel God King's confidants. She brought the Angel God King's divine decree, and Qian Muxue enrolled in the Imperial Royal Martial Soul Academy. On her eighteenth birthday, the Angel God King personally came and presented her with a priceless gift that was unparalleled in the world.

Qian Muxue looked forward to that day and decided to enter the academy to study. With her innate soul power at level 20, she easily passed the talent test. After receiving her dormitory key, two sets of school uniforms, and a student badge engraved with a six-winged angel, she quickly found the dormitory building.

Everything at the Imperial Royal Martial Soul Academy is top-notch. The dormitories are bright and clean, and even the most neglected corners are spotless. There are dormitory doors on both sides of the corridor, with numbers engraved on them.

The dormitory was a double room, and Qian Muxue was a little curious about what kind of person her roommate was.

As an awakened six-winged angel, she likes cleanliness and dislikes all dirty and filthy creatures. She expects her roommate to be hygienic and shower and change clothes frequently.

"Dormitory 521..."

When Qian Muxue stood in front of the dormitory door, she found that the door was ajar, as her roommate had arrived before her.

"Squeak—"

The dormitory was simply decorated with white walls, two single beds, each with a set of free bedding, and a toilet and shower room next to the door. The room was filled with a rich fragrance, which obviously did not come from the dormitory, but from a beautiful figure sitting on a bed.

"Hello, I'm Qian Muxue." Qian Muxue greeted him politely.

The girl quickly stood up the moment she heard the door open, and her exceptionally beautiful face made Qian Muxue pause in surprise.

Qian Muxue grew up under the care of the Angel Royal Legion, and coupled with her superior innate qualities, she developed a confident and generous temperament.

Angels are proud; they don't believe any of their peers can surpass or even come close to them, but the girl before them seems to defy expectations.

With long, deep purple hair and matching eyes, her flawless beauty exuded an air of nobility and elegance that inspired awe and reverence.

The young girl sized up Qian Muxue, equally surprised by her excellence, then nodded in satisfaction and said:

"I was thinking that if I ran into trash, I'd beat her up and throw her out, but you look pretty good."

"Hmm, you're quite pleasing to the eye. My name is Bi Dong'er, I'll protect you from now on!"

"You've got it backwards," Qian Muxue corrected. "It's me who's protecting you."

"We'll see."

Canjin and Jiangzi locked eyes. The two women were about the same height, but Bi Dong'er was much fuller than Qian Muxue, like a well-developed adult woman, and had a more imposing presence.

Qian Muxue took out a quilt made of Flame Demon Tiger fur from her storage soul tool and began to carefully make the bed. Bi Dong'er crossed her arms and watched her with great interest.

Bi Dong'er doesn't dislike Qian Muxue; on the contrary, she enjoys competition, a thrill that those useless students in the junior soul master academy couldn't provide.

Most soul beasts migrate to the Beast Star, and their fur is already a rare commodity. Not to mention, the Flame Demon Tiger is a powerful soul beast, and even nobles might not be able to obtain one. This shows that Qian Muxue comes from an extraordinary background and probably has a powerful force behind her.

The more extraordinary Qian Muxue is, the happier she is than Dong'er. Winning easily is boring; this is what makes it interesting.

"Shall we go to the Soul Arena?" Bi Dong'er suddenly asked.

"Can."

Qian Muxue readily agreed, for the six-winged angels are never afraid of challenges.

The two girls headed to the academy's Soul Arena, an important venue for training and combat. It was as large as Angel Square, with a large open space in the center serving as the battlefield, surrounded by concentric circles of seats that gradually rose upwards.

When they arrived at the Soul Arena, there were five or six hundred people sitting at the edge of the arena. Qian Muxue frowned and said, "I heard that the Imperial Royal Martial Soul Academy has a relatively small number of students. Are there already this many people in the Soul Arena on the first day of school?"

Bi Dong'er's eyes flickered: "No, this only means that the people fighting now are quite skilled. Let's fight again later, let's go to the stands first."

"Um."

The two women casually found a place to sit down, and with the eyesight of a Soul Master, they could easily see the battle inside the Soul Arena.

Two against two, the four Soul Masters slowly took steps, their sharp eyes fixed on each other, their intense Soul Power rising secretly.

On the left are a pair of twins, their faces are handsome and resolute, as if they were cut from the same mold. They stand with two long sticks crossed on top of each other, with dragon souls coiled around them. Four soul rings, two yellow and two purple, shine brightly at their feet.

On the right are two robust young men, both four-ring Soul Masters. One has a full head of red hair, resembling an enraged lion, while the other is covered in thick golden scales, with a thick, long tail constantly sweeping behind him.

"Dragon-Coiling Staff! Dragon-Coiling Staff!"

"The Fiery Lion, the Golden Crocodile King!"

Inside the Soul Arena, four martial spirits were shouting; they were quite famous within the Imperial Royal Martial Spirit Academy.

"So it was them." Bi Dong'er raised an eyebrow.

"You know him?" Qian Muxue tilted her head.

"I heard about them before I enrolled," Bi Dong'er said calmly. "The Imperial Royal Martial Soul Academy is divided into inner and outer academies. The outer academy has eight recognized super geniuses. The two Angel God King bloodlines, Ling Xiao and Ling Yao, are known as the Holy and Evil Emperors. There are also the Six Martial Soul Kings. The four guys in the Soul Arena are all among them."

The Panlong Staff Brothers, Qian Gu Tian Jun and Qian Gu Tian Mo, although ranked low, when the two Panlong Staffs are combined, even the Holy and Evil Emperors have to take them seriously.

Shi Yan's martial soul is the Fiery Lion. Lion-type soul beasts are known as the king of beasts. The Fiery Lion has a talent skill: its roar can force low-level soul beasts to submit. Therefore, beast soul masters whose martial soul quality is inferior to Shi Yan have no chance of defeating him.

That guy covered in golden scales is called Jin Hongwu, and his martial soul is the Golden Crocodile King.

In the Douluo Continent, the bloodlines of soul beasts are based on gold and silver. Gold represents power, and silver represents elements. The gold of the Golden Crocodile King is a symbol of power.

Jin Hongwu was the most talented and powerful among the six kings, but unfortunately he was unlucky enough to encounter two descendants of the Angel God King, so his talent could only rank third.

"Hey, look over there, another one of the Sixth Prince is here."

Bi Dong'er extended a slender finger, and Qian Muxue looked in that direction and saw a effeminate young man with long, bluish-green hair.

"Lin Qingyun, whose martial soul is the Azure Phoenix, a rare flying martial soul, is second only to the Holy Emperor Ling Yao in aerial combat. He is aloof and silent."

"You're a freshman, how do you know so much about us?"

A playful, teasing voice reached their ears. The two women turned around abruptly. A strange young man with white hair and eyebrows was watching them from the stands. Bi Dong'er pouted and said to Qian Muxue:

"He was the last king, Xia Ziguang, the Radiant Bow Master. His Radiant Arrows were silent and stealthy."

"Junior, you..."

Xia Ziguang looked heartbroken. No, the Light Feather Divine Bow is even more sinister!

Qian Muxue gradually got to know the eight geniuses of the outer academy, the two emperors of sainthood and evil, and the six kings of martial spirit.

Bi Dong'er squinted: "Strange, I don't know why, but whenever I see these guys, I inexplicably want to kick their asses hard and make them submit to me!"

Qian Muxue was suffocating. Did you just say what was on your mind?

Xia Ziguang twirled a tiny arrow of light between his fingers and chuckled dismissively, "Junior sister, although the Holy and Evil Emperors are much stronger than us, fortunately those two freaks are five years older. In the next Soul Master Competition, the Six Martial Soul Kings will be the main force. It won't be easy for them to make us submit."

"Is that so?" Bi Dong'er sneered, "Do you dare to come to the Soul Arena, two against two, me and Qian Muxue against you and Lin Qingyun?"

"Come on."

Xia Ziguang laughed loudly and shouted, "Lin Qingyun, let's fight!"

The sound carried far, and Lin Qingyun rolled her eyes at him irritably before nodding slightly.

"Huh? I haven't agreed yet..."

Even after being dragged away by Bi Dong'er, Qian Muxue was still a little dazed. One-on-one had suddenly turned into two-on-two!?

……

Half an hour later, the two women walked hand in hand, best friends, heads held high, looking smug.

Bi Dong'er smiled and said, "Xue'er, so you're a six-winged angel! Are you the illegitimate daughter of the Angel King?"

Qian Muxue retorted without backing down: "Dong'er, your twin martial souls are the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor. The Angel God King possesses the Death Prison Spider Emperor, a combination of the two Spider Emperors. You're more like an illegitimate child!"

"Who are you!"

"Who are you!"

The two women won a decisive two-on-two match, immediately strengthening their bond, and they even meditated on the same bed that night.

The next day, the new students officially started school.

Qian Muxue and Bi Dong'er changed into school uniforms and naturally sat at the same desk, becoming a beautiful sight in the freshman class.

Two freshmen defeated the six Martial Soul Kings despite being of a higher level, causing a huge uproar in the academy. They were hailed as the Holy and Evil Twin Emperors. The new twin emperors of the Imperial Royal Martial Soul Academy were also one Holy and one Evil.

"Ring ring—"

The school bell rang, and a handsome, tall middle-aged man walked into the classroom as the bell rang, his smile gentle.

"Hello everyone in Class 1, Grade 1, I am your homeroom teacher."

Liu Daoqian.
