Chapter 529: Qian Renxue's Return

"Xue Jie, hurry, let's go!" Feihuang suddenly took Qian Renxue's hand, stowed the soul bone dropped by the Spirit of Nature into his belt, and with a flash of the Soft Bone Rabbit soul bone, he activated his Teleportation soul skill, moving with a speed like shifting shapes and changing shadows to quickly distance themselves from Life Lake.

Qian Renxue asked in confusion, "Feihuang, why not pursue the victory and turn that 200,000-year monster from just now into your soul ring as well? I've read your books, and it seems you only have six rings; you're still missing three."

"I want to, but for the current me, it is not yet time to venture deep into Life Lake." Feihuang shook his head. This new Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring had only increased his soul power by a little over one level; he was now at Level 95.

After reaching the Title Douluo realm, the gap of one level of soul power was indeed immense; even Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings had difficulty boosting it. And this was before Level 95; the final five levels would be even more arduous.

It might also be that this Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring was somewhat weak. It seemed that if Feihuang wanted to improve rapidly, he would still have to make a trip to the Extreme North.

However, the soul skill this soul ring gave Feihuang was actually quite good.

Ten-Sided Ambush had the same effect as the Angel Domain; those struck by it would be immobilized, and all displacement and Teleportation soul skills would become ineffective.

Body Merging with Nature was the same ability as that of the Spirit of Nature; in fact, strictly speaking, it was a type of group invisibility skill.

Both were fairly decent support-oriented skills.

"Cannot go? I see, I understand." Qian Renxue frowned, but she did not ask further.

She was no fool; in this situation, there was only one possibility. Just like that mysterious horse-type Spirit Beast from back then, there must be some extremely powerful monster hidden within this Life Lake, so powerful that even Nan Feihuang dared not rashly charge in.

"Feihuang, since that is the case, shouldn't we... return to Wuhun City?" Qian Renxue asked in a low voice.

Her spirit seemed somewhat low, because she knew that the time for her temporary separation from Feihuang had almost arrived.

"Yes, the New Seven Great Sects Selection Assembly hosted by Bibi Dong is about to begin. I have already sent word to Senior Yu Yuanzhen and Senior Jia Chong; they will each bring their own sects to join in the fun, and I must go to hold the line for them," Feihuang said.

Although he would not personally participate in this competition, as long as he was there, Bibi Dong would not dare to easily play any petty tricks on the two major sects or harm their lives.

Feihuang's existence was like a nuclear deterrent.

If the Spirit Hall wanted to flip the table, he could press the table back down at any time, or even smash the table directly.

"Since that's the case, I suppose I should head back too," Qian Renxue said with a bitter smile. If she didn't go back, it would affect her God Trial.

Previously, she might not have cared, but now she was deeply infatuated—infatuated with Feihuang's tenderness toward her. She still wanted to continue enjoying this feeling, so she could not die; she had to pass the Angel Nine Trials.

"Xue Jie, I promise you, I will never break my word to you. One day, I will let you possess your own body," Feihuang said solemnly.

Qian Renxue smiled charmingly, "Good, I believe you. It's a promise."

The two walked hand in hand, at a pace akin to a stroll, slowly walking out of the Star Dou Great Forest; both hoped they could have more time together.

But no matter how long the road, it had an end, and the two eventually arrived at the exit of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Let's stop here, Feihuang. Xue Jie is going to sleep; it's time to say goodbye for now," Qian Renxue said, turning her head to look at Nan Feihuang.

"Alright, goodbye, Xue—" Before Feihuang could finish his farewell, his mouth was blocked.

In his heart, he could only continue to roar in frustration and blame: "Tang San, you scumbag, you are absolutely a scumbag!" This Xue Jie's personality was indeed bold, unrestrained, heroic, and charming. Feihuang now admired himself a little; having spent nearly three months with her day and night, he had actually managed to hold back from completely devouring her.

Feihuang felt that even if he switched to practicing the Buddhist Heart Method now, his success rate would be one hundred percent.

Just at this moment, in the sky, a golden light descended from above, enveloping Feihuang and Qian Renxue simultaneously.

Under that golden radiance, Qian Renxue's hair gradually changed from white back to gold.

A gentle female voice echoed between heaven and earth, "Qian Renxue, Angel God Third Trial, Heart Demon Trial, completed beyond expectations. Angel Affinity increased by twenty percent, now at thirty percent."

Their lips parted, and what Feihuang saw was the golden Qian Renxue, who had returned to being a Holy Angel.

"Xue Jie, long time no see, and congratulations on your great progress in the trials!" Feihuang laughed.

Generally, the affinity increase for the Third Trial should be around ten percent, but because she completed it beyond expectations, it had actually reached twenty percent directly.

This affinity was extremely important; although it was said that as long as one normally completed all nine trials and reached one hundred percent in the end, it would be enough to inherit the God Position.

But even among Level One Gods, there were gaps in strength.

Like the Sea God Poseidon, he was an elite among Level One Gods, and if fighting on the ocean, he would even dare to battle a God King.

Even if Lv Lingqi could successfully inherit a God Position in the future, the Godly Power within her body could not immediately reach the peak level of a Level One God like Poseidon.

As for exactly how much one could inherit, it depended on the affinity at the time of completing the trials. If one inherited exactly one hundred percent, it would only reach the baseline of a Level One God. But like Tang San in the original work, he inherited it with one hundred and fifteen percent completion, and his initial Godly Power was already much stronger than Qian Renxue's.

Therefore, in the original work, Qian Renxue was no match for him at all.

Yet even so, Tang San's Asura God, even after ten thousand years of cultivation, according to the Golden Dragon King's description, was still inferior to that original person.

Now that Qian Renxue had reached twenty percent in the Third Trial, it meant that when she inherited the God Position, she would have at least one hundred and ten percent, which was much stronger than in the original work.

"Thank you, Feihuang!" Qian Renxue felt the two forces of holiness and corruption within her body actually merging with each other.

This was all thanks to the Taoist Technique containing the Taiji Yin-Yang that Feihuang had taught her, as well as his companionship over these past few months, which had dissolved her heart demon obsessions.

"No need to thank me; besides, during this time, Xue Jie has given me many rewards," Feihuang said with a smile, pointing to the corner of his mouth, "Sweet, even sweeter than candied haws!"

Qian Renxue's face instantly flushed red, "You have no filter! You've been corrupted by that dark personality!"

That other personality of hers was truly too unrestrained; apart from the final step, there wasn't a single part of her body that Feihuang didn't know about now.

She couldn't even blame Feihuang, because from beginning to end, she was the one giving herself away.

That Feihuang could hold back from completely possessing her was already considered very impressive.

Actually, it wasn't that she wasn't willing, but the Angel Clan placed great importance on the sense of ritual; even if she were to truly give herself away, there had to be a proper wedding ceremony first.
