Chapter 4: with translation of chapter title

In a private room of the luxurious large bath on the second floor.

Qian Renxue wore a white backless combat outfit, specially made to prevent clothing damage when using her martial soul.

She was sitting inside, enjoying her meal heartily.

Two days ago, a junior of the Second Offering Golden Crocodile Douluo's family broke through to Soul King and hunted a ten-thousand-year earth dragon. Last night, after Qian Renxue's martial soul awakened, the Golden Crocodile Douluo specially sent someone to deliver a portion of earth dragon meat.

The Golden Crocodile Douluo also holds an exalted position in the Spirit Hall. Already over 120 years old, in terms of age he is senior to Qian Daoliu, and even in the Elder Hall Qian Daoliu treats him with respect.

This time, arranging for someone to deliver the earth dragon meat to Qian Renxue was also meant to calm the many martial soul practitioners in the Spirit Hall who follow the Angel lineage. The young master is so favored that her martial soul awakening ceremony will surely go smoothly.

The entire Spirit Hall consists of believers in the Angel God, and the Six-Winged Angel martial soul is to them the true symbol of inheritance.

If it weren't for Qian Xunji's stubborn support of Bibi Dong, even with twin martial souls she could never hope to sit in the Pope's seat.

However, this was still Qian Renxue's first time eating the delicacy of a ten-thousand-year earth dragon.

Earth dragon stew, cumin-roasted earth dragon meat, and braised meat.

The meat is firm, tender and juicy, so delicious!

Eating this ten-thousand-year soul beast meat made Qian Renxue feel very comfortable; her soul power circulation sped up considerably, and her whole body felt warm.

"Time to go coax Grandpa." Qian Renxue rubbed her belly contentedly, preparing to head to the Offering Hall.

The Offering Hall's status in the Spirit Hall is above even the Pope's Hall and the Douluo Hall.

In the Douluo Hall, anyone who reaches Titled Douluo can leave their name there; even if they are a Titled Douluo from the Three Upper Sects, which have always been at odds with the Spirit Hall, the same applies, and the remains of deceased Titled Douluo are also buried here.

But the requirements for the Offering Hall are much stricter. Not only must one reach at least rank ninety-six, but one must also join the Spirit Hall.

Therefore, the Offering Hall holds an exalted position in the Spirit Hall. It is also the tallest building in Spirit City.

The entire hall resembles a tall tower; just to enter the first level of the Offering Hall one must climb three thousand steps.

Qian Renxue does not live in the Offering Hall because she dislikes those three thousand steps, which are too high; she also can't be bothered to run around, and usually her sword practice is done with Qian Daoliu coming to find her.

As the young master of the current strongest power, the Spirit Hall, there's no need to train her physique by running and climbing stairs like some antiquated school; all kinds of natural treasures and earthly riches, jade platters and rare delicacies, can be made at will.

Thanks to this, Qian Renxue's physical condition keeps increasing rapidly.

"Six-Winged Angel, possess!"

Three pairs of holy white wings extended from behind, lifting her entire figure; the wings flapped, and she sped swiftly toward the Offering Hall.

A group clad in golden armor from the Spirit Hall encircled the Offering Hall. This unit consisted entirely of Soul Kings above rank fifty, and its captain was a Soul Sage above rank seventy, an Angel Legion loyal to the Angel lineage.

Seeing Qian Renxue, the leading captain hurriedly bowed in salute. The other members remained dutiful, their backs ramrod straight, as if undergoing a leader's grand review; their eyes fixed on Qian Renxue's three pairs of wings, their gazes fervent.

"Captain Wang, no need for much ceremony; I've come to find Grandpa." Qian Renxue was quite polite, returning the salute. These are all her future pillars, after all.

Captain Wang smiled and nodded, waving his hand to have his subordinates make way for Qian Renxue.

The golden legion watched as Qian Renxue entered the Elder Hall; the deputy beside Captain Wang could not hold back and said, "Six-Winged Angel! Is this our new young master to whom we will pledge loyalty in the future?"

Captain Wang glared at him: "Don't look left and right, just stand at your post quietly!"

"All we do is stand guard; Captain, all you know is standing guard—when can we go kill fallen spirit masters?" the deputy complained dissatisfiedly.

These Angel Legionnaires usually specialize in guarding the Elder Hall's gate, not merely to stand watch, but to better receive guidance from the Angel lineage.

Everyone in the Elder Hall is a Super Douluo—who needs protecting whom? Why would we need a bunch of Soul Kings, Soul Emperors, and Soul Sages standing watch?

Only because the Douluo Continent harbors the most detestable heretic spirit masters. The present Spirit Hall calls them fallen spirit masters; they possess power surpassing ordinary spirit masters, extremely bloody, utterly wicked, and every means they employ is exceptionally cruel.

On the continent, spirit masters often practice improper techniques and fall into evil cultivation, becoming fallen spirit masters.

Of course, the current Spirit Hall is not that extreme; it won't say that seeing an evil martial soul means it must be killed. If one can suppress the evil nature of their own martial soul, the Angel lineage will not pursue them.

For example, the Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Bibi Dong's Soul-Eating Spider Emperor and Death Spider Emperor—these are all evil martial souls that can easily fall. (In the original, Bibi Dong indeed used the methods of an evil spirit master.)

Those who inherently possess a non-evil martial soul but later mutate into a fallen martial soul through methods such as devouring soul power, soul rings, mental power, blood and flesh, soul, and martial soul, and who cannot control themselves and thus commit slaughter—these fallen martial spirits are the Spirit Hall's top priority for eradication.

The Six-Winged Angel martial soul is the natural nemesis of such spirit masters; they not only strongly restrain fallen spirit masters, but also have a kind of sensing in the dark.

It's practically like the mutual attraction between Stand users; Six-Winged Angel spirit masters always encounter and clash with fallen spirit masters.

They can be said to be innate killing machines for fallen spirit masters; the Angel Legion stationed here also aims to obtain Qian Daoliu's Six-Winged Angel martial soul's sensing of fallen spirit masters, so they can promptly go to exterminate them.

Moreover, the Spirit Hall has established Spirit Hall branches in every city, consuming vast manpower, material resources, and wealth, and not merely to help commoners awaken their martial souls.

Spirit Hall branches must send personnel each year to awaken martial souls in every village, no matter how small or poor, precisely to monitor that no fallen spirit masters will go to slaughter villages to boost their cultivation, causing tragedies.

Once a village is found to have been massacred, someone will surely report it to Spirit City, and the Popes of past generations will dispatch their subordinate Angel Legion to go exterminate the fallen spirit masters.

The reason they call Qian Renxue the new young master is precisely because Qian Xunji once led them as their leader.

It's a pity that this former leader, since taking the Pope's position, has become increasingly reclusive; added to his inability to break through his realm, he's gone a bit mad, not knowing what he's busy with all day, and he no longer exterminates fallen spirit masters.

The Angel Legion's glory has always been in exterminating fallen spirit masters to guard the continent; you suddenly saying you won't do it just won't do. Captain Wang, angered, led the legion straight to their former boss Qian Daoliu, unwilling to follow Qian Xunji any longer.

The Angel Legion's loyalty is to the glory of the Angel God; a Six-Winged Angel that does not kill fallen spirit masters—is that still a Six-Winged Angel? Fortunately, a new Six-Winged Angel has now appeared out of nowhere, and the holy glory of the Six-Winged Angel will finally reach her loyal Angel Legion! This chapter mainly discussed Qian Renxue's Blade Angel Legion henceforth, as well as the future path; a Six-Winged Angel that does not kill evil spirit masters—is that still a Six-Winged Angel! I will strive to write something interesting! I hope you'll keep reading, brothers! I'll do anything, waaah! (End of chapter)
