Chapter 109

Tian Yue, Golden Crocodile Claw maybe not a named entity; it's a claw. Qian Renxue, Qi Blood Power generic, Eight-Winged Angel, Qi Blood Soul Ring. So we have Tian Yue, Golden Crocodile Claw? Not sure if we need to list "Golden Crocodile Claw" as a named item? It's a weapon/claw; but it's descriptive. Probably not needed.

Qian Renxue, Tian Yue, divine feeling generic.

Qian Renxue, Eight-Winged Angel, Qi Blood method generic, solemn holy chant generic.

A strand of light suddenly flared from Qian Renxue's body — rose-gold light, beginning at her forehead and, like silk, like a step, instantly spreading over her entire body.

Qian Renxue, golden hair descriptive, brilliant gold descriptive, body generic.

Qian Renxue, purple eyes descriptive, gorgeous rose gold descriptive, dark gold diamond emblem descriptive.

Qian Renxue, golden divine substance descriptive, pale gold blood descriptive, brilliant gold descriptive.

Qian Renxue, illusory figure generic, angel mark generic, Eight-Winged Angel Martial Soul maybe named martial soul, three pairs six wings descriptive.

Qian Renxue, Divine Blood Incarnation maybe named, Ancestor Angel God maybe named, Qi Blood Power generic, Angel God named.

No named entities? "next-door Type-Moon world" maybe reference to "Type-Moon world"? That's a real-world brand? It's a reference to Type-Moon (a company). According to rules, exclude real-world brands/apps/celebrities. So we should not list "Type-Moon". Also "Artemis" and "Orion" are mythological figures; they are real-world mythological names; but they are not original coined terms; they are existing myth. Should we list? Probably not, as they are not original to the work; they are real-world myth. Exclude.

Angel God, three pairs of pure white wings descriptive, gauze clothing generic.

Angel God, three pairs of wings descriptive.

Angel God, brilliant gold golden flame maybe "Golden Flame" as a named substance.

Like a meteor falling from the sky, the ground beneath Qian Renxue instantly cracked.

Qian Daoliu, spectators generic, Angel God Incarnation appears maybe named.

Tian Yue, four huge wings descriptive, insect facing raptor metaphor.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Qian Renxue was silently hovering in midair at that moment.

people generic.

Golden Crocodile Douluo named title.

Qian Renxue, olive branch shaped white feathers descriptive, ear feathers descriptive, heel generic.

This golden radiance covered her face; her exquisite features dazzled the eyes, adding a touch of divine beauty, making her posture even more alluring.

eight wings descriptive, giant dark gold diamond light floating behind Qian Renxue descriptive.

This vision full of divine impact made them all swallow a mouthful of saliva — what a beautiful sight!

Tian Yue, unwilling and satisfied generic, body hot generic, after drinking alcohol generic, face red and faint generic, tall beautiful girl generic.

Qian Renxue now can no longer be called human; if the Qian Renxue before circulating her qi and blood was still within the human realm, then after her bloodline awakening, Qian Renxue has begun to evolve into the non-human realm.

Qian Renxue, martial soul generic, Qi Blood circulation generic.

Tian Yue, Qi Blood Soul Ring power generic, bloodline atavism generic, Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue, Divine Pattern maybe named technique, Angel God Bloodline named, Divine Blood generic? maybe named.

Like a divine artifact armor, yet unlike such armor it does not need to be worn; it has no physical form, but its effect is the same — a conceptual power that is one with her own being.

Qian Jun and Xiang Mo pointing at Qian Renxue excitedly said:

Also "Divine trace! Angel God manifests!" includes divine trace generic, Angel God manifests generic.

Qian Daoliu, Limit Douluo named title, god manifests generic, Angel God's phantom generic.

The joke phrase "everyone is an Angel God Chef" means everyone is an Angel God Chef, and "Spirit Hall Soul Master" is just a generic term for a Soul Master from Spirit Hall.

Qian Renxue opened her slightly closed golden eyes, smiling as she spoke: "The power of bloodline also has its differences."

"How about it, do you still have the courage to swing your claws at me?"

Tian Yue, upon seeing Qian Renxue's smile, involuntarily froze for a moment, then she shook her head.

She said nothing, merely raising her claws again to continue the challenge.

Tian Yue feared that if she opened her mouth, she would be unable to resist going soft and would give up this battle she had long dreamed of.

Growth-stage Golden Crocodile King named beast, beautiful dazzling Eight-Winged Angel named.

Tian Yue in Qi Blood state includes Tian Yue.

claws generic, neck generic, lips generic, Eight-Winged Angel named, submit generic.

brutal Golden Crocodile King named beast, angel's wings generic, swallow into belly generic.

At this moment, Tian Yue's gaze turned cold again; she bent her waist, arched her body, and hungrily swallowed the air before her that obstructed her.

Tian Yue, Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue looked satisfied at Tian Yue: "Good, no fear; only such a good child is worthy to stand by her side."

Golden Crocodile King Soul Master includes Golden Crocodile King and Soul Master.

And to quell this abnormal frenzy, one must, before it erupts, completely suppress her, leaving her no chance to erupt.

feral posture generic.

Qian Renxue tapped the ground with her toes, without seeing her wings flutter behind her, and her whole body lightly rose to meet her opponent.

Sound.

Tian Yue, three major amplification soul skills generic, unreasonable violent force generic.

In response to this power, after being suppressed for merely a second, it rebounded violently, producing an even more terrifying roar.

The air trembled—! The holy song echoed, but the angel that seemed weak and powerless actually possessed a terrifying body capable of crushing dragons, freely unleashing its own power.

Stab—!

The slender, supple fist rubbed against the sharp golden croc claw, sparking a dazzling flash of fire; then massive soul‑power flames enveloped each of their bodies.

"Crack—!" With a simple misstep, the golden croc king's power was instantly countered.

When a berserk melee character meets another berserk character, what strange chemical reaction occurs? No probing at all— they launch straight into a full‑throttle visual impact of power clash.

The battle rhythm immediately entered a white‑hot state.

With a bang, Qian Renxue pressed down with one hand, then hurled a punch at Tianyue's golden croc claws, lifting the two claws upward; thereafter, like a celestial horse meteor fist, she unleashed countless after‑image punches.

Accompanied by a sound that tore the air, the swift fist speed, and that domineering force, everyone thought Tianyue would temporarily retreat and slip away.

But Tianyue made a move that shocked everyone; she opened her arms and actively met the attack.

Just as Qian Renxue's fist was about to smash Tianyue's throat, Qian Renxue's motion stalled; Tianyue seized the chance, suddenly dodged, used her right arm to trap Qian Renxue's arm, pressed her body toward Qian Renxue, then fiercely swung her left claw.

"Bang—!" Qian Renxue continued with a right punch that blocked the claw.

Tianyue tried to go all out, a fight‑for‑injury‑exchange, but failed on the spot.

Yet she did not give up; instead she grew more excited and began launching attacks incessantly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Qian Renxue's fists kept pounding Tianyue's body, but the golden croc king paid no heed, continuing the assault unabated.

If Tianyue now is a reckless warrior who abandons everything for a ferocious, all‑or‑nothing assault, then Qian Renxue is like a raging storm, a terrifying natural disaster that cruelly grants no breath of respite.

It must be said, although Qian Renxue kept holding back, Tianyue's death‑defying stance also excited her.

The fight—thrilling! But that's enough; let this scuffle end here.

"Boom!" After Tianyue was knocked airborne again, Qian Renxue suddenly spread her slender arms, lifted her head and chest, and the full‑bloomed peak stood defenselessly before the golden croc king, while her towering white wings unfurled dramatically.

That beautiful, tall figure no longer rushed forward to strike; instead she stood quietly in the center of the training arena.

Yet this seemingly defenseless posture caused Gong, who had risen like a feral leopard ready to pounce on Tianyue, to freeze instantly, watching Qian Renxue's movements warily.

She couldn't comprehend the purpose of Qian Renxue's stance; this utterly unguarded, open‑door pose seemed to invite an active attack, which was just too bizarre.

No, or rather Qian Renxue herself is rather odd; can an ordinary person crush a top‑tier Soul Ancestor of level 46 plus two blood‑Qi soul rings without wielding a martial soul? She once defeated a six‑ring Soul Emperor in her clan!

Even the blood‑Qi soul rings are the same; this is truly abnormal— she is only a second‑ring, yet when facing Qian Renxue, Tianyue feels she is the lower‑level bloodline side, like a mouse toyed with by a cat.

What does Qian Renxue mean by that? In the next moment, Tianyue heard Qian Renxue in front of her speak lightly with a hint of regret, looking at Tianyue with disappointment, tilting her head and asking, "So weak, Tianyue, why are you so… weak?"

Boom, the words cracked through the night sky like lightning, exploding in the minds of the small group; Tianyue felt as if she were hearing an illusion, her mind going blank.

What did she just hear? Weak… weak…? Was it about her? Her, the once‑in‑a‑millennium golden croc prodigy? The rest of the small group: …

A few of the Tuoba Chen members gaped, unsure what to say; Tianyue's fierce attack earlier, if they had intervened, might have been clawed away. If that counts as weak, then what are we?

Qian Renxue's words pierced Tianyue's pride; her grandfather, the Golden Croc Douluo, and several other grandfathers from the Offering Hall were all watching the battle! How could it end so hastily! Tianyue stared at Qian Renxue, gritting her teeth, and said, "Are you trying to humiliate me, Qian—Ren—xue! We are all descendants of the Spirit Hall's offerings! Our starting points are the same! Continue! Keep punching! This fight isn't over!"

"Only a battle fought with everything you've got, a full‑blown clash, is the best response to each other! Keep punching—!"

Having been a privileged child of the heavens, Tianyue simply couldn't accept such a half‑hearted ending, watching Qian Renxue completely abandon the combat stance with a look of disdain toward her.

Seeing it that way, she felt that despite giving her all, she had somehow lost somewhere, like a clown performing a solo monologue.

Yet the golden figure she had always chased, worshipped, and yearned to be closer to—bright as the sun—spoke words colder than any blade.

"All‑out? Who would go all‑out with someone weaker than themselves?"

A faint voice came from in front of Tianyue; the calm, matter‑of‑fact words deeply enraged the golden croc king.

In the next instant, Tianyue lunged at Qian Renxue like a madwoman, wildly swinging her sharp claws.

Yet Qian Renxue, with a single‑handed punch and without moving her body at all, effortlessly blocked all of the golden croc claws.

That unparalleled, overwhelming strength left the small group breathless, staring dumbfounded at the scene—a total crushing from power to technique.

Back on the high platform, the Golden Croc Douluo sighed reluctantly, "Did I do something wrong? If I had known, I would have let Xiaoxue pretend. Actually, living in a false dream isn't so bad—would little Tianyue cry?"

Qian Daoliu patted the Golden Croc's shoulder and comforted:

"They have to grow up eventually. If they stay in a false dream, they'll never catch up with Xue'er. It's better to be cruel now than face the despair of truth later. If they don't exert now, there'll be no chance later. Do you really want your granddaughter stuck like us, forever trapped in one realm, unable to move?"

Even the onlookers could easily see the fact; as a combatant, how could Tianyue not sense it?

But she could not accept this outcome at all; it was wrong, it shouldn't be like this. They should have been evenly matched, and regardless of who won or lost, it ought to have been a splendid battle, not this scorned, sloppy ending! Tianyue's bloodline boiled; when her will concentrates enough and her enlightenment deepens, the golden croc king's soul master will enter an abnormal berserk state, yet that state is hard to trigger. However, Tianyue's second blood‑Qi soul ring, aside from its soul skill, can serve as the key to voluntarily activate the golden croc berserk stance.

But now she has not used the second blood‑Qi soul ring; instead she herself entered the golden croc berserk stance.

Golden patterns swiftly spread over Tianyue's entire body, the golden croc claws swelled a layer, the golden bone spines grew larger and sharper, and golden scales extended to her neck, fully shielding it.

Golden‑red light splashed in all directions, a low rumble boomed, and intense blood‑Qi waves permeated the training arena.

Tianyue's blood surged wildly in circulation, and the surging blood‑Qi force actively repaired her wounded body.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Tianyue grew stronger again, and this discovery delighted Qian Renxue. Qian Renxue is strong—very strong. In a pure blood‑Qi circulation stance, the eight‑winged angel's bloodline power far exceeded expectations; although she has only one ring, she is now countless times stronger than Qian Renxue had imagined.

Yet this strength requires greater pressure to keep growing; only then can she advance unimpeded on the path to ultimate power, continuing onward.

Qian Renxue fights not to defeat enemies but to become stronger; each battle is a lesson. She risks everything to absorb experience from opponents—whether punches, kicks, sword techniques, footwork, breathing—creating her own soul skills.

That is why her fights now leave far more ink stains than at the start, and it is the source of her confidence that Hei Xue cannot surpass her.

Each of her battles yields a new metamorphosis, while Hei Xue previously relied entirely on the account she trained, constantly maxing out; she only thought of defeating enemies, and with Hei Xue holding the ultimate move button, she appeared very formidable.

Since Qian Renxue condensed her bloodline core, she can sense the eight‑winged angel's origin behind the portal; if she wishes, she can release the chain in her hand, push open the gate, and claim her own source of power.

Only an inexplicable sensation blocks her; Qian Renxue, a cultivator who has reached Soul Emperor, naturally does not think this is merely an illusion—she trusts her intuition.

In short, now Tianyue can finally give her a trace of pressure again.

But that is still not enough.

Provoking Tianyue is not only about empowering herself, but also helping Tianyue continue to complete herself, increasing her own combat power.

The golden croc king whose bloodline has fully awakened is the true golden croc king!

Finally, when the golden bloodline within Tianyue is fully activated and awakened.

"Boom—!"

A swift golden claw blade struck, this claw blade broke through Qian Renxue's left arm defense blockade, and Qian Renxue's one-handed speed could no longer keep up with Tian Yue's frenzied scratching.

But when that claw strike hit Qian Renxue, aside from a dull metallic clang and a spray of sparks, no blood flowed out—not even a white mark appeared.

The angelic divine pattern born of the angel god's bloodline inherently placed Qian Renxue in an invincible position.

Attacks without special piercing properties, even if Tian Yue's claws could strike her, still could not harm her in the slightest.

"Ah——!!!"

Gradually, the attacks Tian Yue landed on Qian Renxue increased, yet they could inflict no effective damage, while a casual punch from Qian Renxue could send Tian Yue stumbling back several steps.

Qian Renxue threw punches while calmly saying, "Weak, truly too weak, not enough, still not enough, far from enough."

"Tian Yue, with that blade sheathed in a sword scabbard, who could you possibly hurt?"

Qian Renxue's plain, disappointed voice echoed in Tian Yue's ears.

Yet that plain voice caused Tian Yue, trapped in the Golden Crocodile berserk stance, to suddenly freeze.

Then she suddenly let out a resentful roar, her blood boiling; the golden qi and blood on her body ignited into a substantive scarlet flame, spreading like a shockwave across the ground beneath her feet.

The ground beneath her feet instantly cracked.

"Boom——!"

After another extremely frenzied strike, crack——! The golden crocodile claw produced by Tian Yue's martial soul possession shattered directly from the hard impact! Yet even so, she still could not leave even a white mark on that sun-like figure.

Qian Renxue continued, "Continue, this is still not enough."

"Boom!!!"

Another heavy, powerful fist pierced the air; Qian Renxue deliberately did not block it, yet after the blast hit her, it was stopped by the golden divine pattern on her body.

Qian Renxue sighed, "Has your attack weakened because your golden crocodile claw broke? Without your weapon, is this all you can do?"

"If that's all you've got, I advise you to give up—you don't deserve to stand beside me."

"Or do you think I'll keep going easy on you…"

"Bang!!!"

Another heavy punch came crashing in, but this time Qian Renxue likewise threw out a punch.

Tian Yue was slammed backward several steps by the immense force, and a mouthful of blood spurted from her throat.

Qian Renxue asked, "Are you the Golden Crocodile King?"

Tian Yue stared fixedly at the golden figure before her, as insurmountable as a mountain, as vast as the sea—utterly incomparable, a might that bred despair.

This time Tian Yue gritted her teeth, gazing at Qian Renxue's figure for a long while, yet she could not find the strength to step forward and continue the challenge.

She realized that with her current strength, she could not inflict even the slightest harm on Qian Renxue.

Like a shadow, a terrible sense of despair swept over Tian Yue's mind; the thought "I can't win" began to take root deeply in her thoughts.

Only now did she begin to realize how foolish her former self had been, why Qian Gu Fenghua had looked at her before the match with an almost pitying gaze—if that were the case, wasn't she just an arrogant clown? Tears filled her beautiful eyes, and she involuntarily clenched her teeth and whispered, "What Golden Crocodile King? Compared to me, you monster are the true Golden Crocodile King soul master."

The Golden Crocodile King, as a super martial soul specialized in attack and defense, would have B ratings in other aspects, meaning its physical strength and defense are top-tier S-rank, while the Six-Winged Angel is an S-rank divine martial soul in every aspect.

But even among S-ranks there are differences; an ordinary Six-Winged Angel soul master's power could never compare to that of a Golden Crocodile King soul master, yet Qian Renxue is an anomaly among anomalies—even among angel soul masters she is the most special kind.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Ah, no, wait, it seems it just passed—forget it, I can't, after writing to 6800 I can't help but want to watch anime, maybe I'll write tomorrow instead, guys. Give me those votes! (End of chapter)
