Chapter 68

"The Angel God's sword attendant, what the heck?"

Bai Ran recalled that in the original work, there was no such thing, ah.

Besides, the Angel God is a first-rank god, yet he even appointed a sword attendant—does he even know how to wield a sword?

"The Angel God's sword attendant is the sole servant who hands the Angel God his sword."

"How about it—being able to become the future Angel God's sole attendant, you should feel honored, right?"

In the original plot, as a heavenly pride, Qian Renxue's attitude toward Tang San was merely appreciative, but once Tang San obstructed her plans, she would not hesitate to strike him down lethally. (Later she didn't actually strike him down; it was purely the gods of the Divine Realm playing a prank on her, coupled with her love-struck brain.)

But as for this person, perhaps he's too outstanding—outstanding to the point that Qian Renxue feels inferior, even undermining her confidence in inheriting the godhood.

Qian Renxue: In his presence, I'm like a primitive person.

Facing such a man, Qian Renxue feels that taking him as her future sword attendant is more than reasonable.

Not only can he suppress this young heavenly pride (hmph, no matter how talented, he still has to draw his sword for this miss), but he also provides great assistance.

One arrow, two eagles—perfect.

"Um, what about the sword?"

When their feelings heated up, it was because the future Angel God had applied a divine mark.

By the way, Qian Renxue, are you trying to control me? An Angel big sister with a shota little brother—this brand-new version is truly novel.

"The sword, uh, this, will be available later."

Qian Renxue: Just kidding, I haven't even opened the divine trial yet—where would an Angel Holy Sword come from? How about you first use your pawn martial soul to pretend? 'Does that mean I can leave now?'

Bai Ran noticed the surrounding atmosphere was no longer so tense,

and the two Title Douluo who had been holding him down also loosened their grip.

After all, in a sense, becoming Qian Renxue's sword attendant means being someone she values greatly.

Of course, this is under the condition that the Angel Mark takes effect.

Given that Bai Ran's body contains two 'living dads,' once the Angel God's mark enters, even breathing is likely wrong.

Myriad Souls Banner: Big bro, a girl's come.

Human Emperor Banner: What the heck? Let me take a look.

Angel God's Mark: What are you trying to do? Don't come over.

I am the weather forecast, this is frost.

"Indeed, you can leave."

But I advise you not to reveal the miss's identity.

Now we are, in shared honor and shared loss, and as servants, doing anything that harms the master god's interests will surely incur severe punishment.

Qian Renxue doesn't fear that Bai Ran will erase the Angel God's mark she placed.

After all, even a God King cannot erase it unless he personally descends onto the Douluo Continent.

However, Qian Renxue never expected that Bai Ran's martial soul is so buggy—let alone her Angel God's mark, even a Creator God's mark, the Human Emperor Banner (Myriad Souls Banner) could instantly refine it.

However, Bai Ran's martial soul within him seems not intending to do that.

Human Emperor Banner: Interesting, is this the power structure of the gods in this world? So weak.

Myriad Souls Banner: Indeed, even at my peak, I would disdain to collect such trash as spirit soldiers.

Human Emperor Banner: You're still bragging, bro?

Angel God's Mark: Shivering.

Bai Ran also had no intention of exposing Qian Renxue; although he doesn't fear the so-called Angel God's mark, in some people's eyes, any association with Qian Renxue gets you branded a traitor.

The standard for conviction sometimes isn't whether you collaborated with her, but whether you had contact with her. Moreover, after this earth-shattering scandal breaks out, it's all benefit and no harm for Bai Ran—only an avalanche could pop champagne.

Why then would I go out of my way for that worthless prince? I merely love this homeland deeply, as for that so-called royal family?

Not holding a knife to your throats counts as me, Old Master Bai, being in a good mood that day and choosing to hang you from streetlights.

"By the way, how do you like the second miss of the Zhu family?"

Qian Renxue's tone shifted—should I say it or not? At twelve years old, she actually has that kind of development; Qian Renxue can't figure out where the nutrition comes from.

"What do you mean?"

Bai Ran: I suspect you're insulting me, but I have no evidence.

"As far as I know, the women of the Zhu family have always been the fiancées of the Star Luo prince."

"So what?"

"As the miss's future sword attendant, you can ask me for help."

"No thanks."

Bai Ran said calmly.

"What do you want to do? A Soul Saint isn't worth the Star Luo Empire making concessions."

"It's simple—just take Star Luo City, right?"

In another parallel world, a certain failed scholar once proved by practice that storming the imperial capital is far easier than entering it openly.

I suppose the Star Luo Dai family already knows the news of Zhu Zhuyun's death in the Tian Dou Empire.

The Star Luo royal family's consort was killed within the Tian Dou Empire's territory; even if the Spirit Hall mediated, both sides would inevitably go to war.

As the instigator of this matter, Bai Ran ought to bear the responsibility; it's also a good time to go to the army for some training.

Brother, don't keep thinking about your lousy Soul Master Grand Competition,

In two years, brother, I might just break through to Soul Douluo; by then, the new Shrek Seven Monsters, with great difficulty relying on the team's power, let Tang San manifest a false tool soul true form, and as a result, seeing someone able to manifest the true tool soul true form, they probably feel like the sky is falling.

Besides, the venue for the Soul Master Grand Competition two years later is actually in Martial Soul City.

Running up to Little Fairy Bibi Dong and jumping around, is Bai Ran sick of living?

Or perhaps you want to test whether this old fogey has the ability to save himself? "Still interesting."

However, are you sure the Tian Dou Empire can beat Star Luo?

As for the Tian Dou Empire's army, Qian Renxue feels it's not up to par; only the northern troops need to constantly fend off the soul beast tide of the extreme north, thereby still maintaining decent combat strength.

As for the southern border troops, first there were massive layoffs, then various noble offspring went in for training to gild their résumés.

It can be said that, compared to the past ten years, this troop has completely gone to rot; only the commanders' personal guards up top still have some fighting spirit, "guaranteed to win."

Under normal circumstances, giving the main army an all-attribute boost of over 100% lets a Great Soul Master fight a Soul Elder to a draw; immediately after, giving the elite troops an all-attribute boost of over 200% lets a Soul Ancestor defeat a Soul King,

Finally, giving senior commanders an all-attribute boost of over 300% lets a Soul Saint even kill a Soul Douluo,

If even that can't win, Bai Ran might as well go home and grow sweet potatoes.

(Young man, how much are your sweet potatoes per jin in soul coins?) "You better really be that."

Sometimes, holding back laughter is still quite hard.

Qian Renxue also almost laughed.

I just like how this little brother is so full of confidence; afraid that after a defeat he'll end up crying.
