Douluo Continent: The Sky Revealed, What the Hell is Honkai Academy?

Chapter 16 Only twelve six-winged angels? The reward is summoning an angel god!
Qian Daoliu said with some emotion, "This boy Chen Xin has indeed reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship. His state of unity between man and sword is something I must admire."

Golden Crocodile Douluo said in a muffled voice, "Brother, don't boost others' morale and diminish your own. Your Angel Martial Soul hasn't even made its debut yet. Maybe this time you can break through to level 99 in one fell swoop and become the first Soul Master on the continent to ascend to godhood!"

"Breaking through level 100? That's practically impossible..."

Qian Daoliu said silently in his heart.

If the Heavenly Golden Ranking before us truly followed the rules of Douluo Continent, it would never allow anyone to become a god so easily.

They might be given an opportunity, but no one will be allowed to ascend to the divine realm on the spot and disrupt the existing order.

Becoming stronger is fine, but becoming a god is absolutely out of the question!
As the current high priest of the Angel God, Qian Daoliu is one of the few who understands the truth.

……

Shrek Academy.

"Uncle Jian is so handsome!"

Ning Rongrong was filled with pride, her face flushed with excitement, "Man and sword as one, a divine-level soul bone, it sounds amazing!"

Dai Mubai exclaimed, "This is the kind of powerful person I dream of becoming! With a single strike, it seems like even stars can be cleaved in two!"

Ma Hongjun said with a regretful expression, "It's a pity that our martial spirit didn't make the list. I also wanted to take off with the Golden List. Maybe it could even help me complete this mutated martial spirit."

Oscar looked at Ning Rongrong, who was jumping around, and then at the sky. He felt that he was getting further and further away from the girl he secretly loved. He made up his mind to work harder to cultivate his food-type martial soul.

Tang San's eyes burned with fervor, his fists clenched tightly as he thought to himself, "The Seven Kill Sword, is it the ultimate in attack? I must cultivate diligently, and I will surely surpass it with the Clear Sky Hammer in my hands, making my father's Clear Sky Hammer's fame resound throughout the continent!"

Yu Xiaogang trembled with excitement: "Man and sword as one! This is theoretically the highest resonance state that a weapon spirit and its host can achieve! And that divinely bestowed sword technique actually involves rules... This Golden Ranking is simply opening a completely new door for us spirit masters!"

……

On the list of winners, the words "Seven Kill Sword" and the peerless sword shadow slowly faded away, but the sharpness that cut through everything and the terror of the killing sword domain were deeply imprinted in the depths of everyone's soul.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin, with the help of the Golden List opportunity, ascended to the unparalleled peak in one step, and the name of the Seven Kill Sword resounded throughout the world!

However, the brilliance of the list did not stop for a moment, but suddenly underwent a qualitative change!

A holy light, incomparably sacred and pure, as if descended from a higher plane, swept across the entire Douluo Continent like a tidal wave!
In the sky, faint sacred hymns echoed, and streaks of golden light fell like feathers.

Above the sky, golden light converged, no longer forming a specific beast or artifact, but condensing into a blurry yet majestic figure!

Three pairs of enormous wings spread out behind him, each feather flowing with golden light. He holds a golden longsword, and a halo floats above his head, radiating a light so bright that it is impossible to look directly at him, leaving no darkness or evil to hide!

The martial spirit that appeared this time was none other than—

[Martial Soul Ranking, 12th Place - Six-Winged Angel (God-Level Martial Soul)]

[Evaluation: Incarnation of Light, Messenger of God! Inherited from the God of Angels, this god-level martial soul possesses innate divine and light power, absolute suppression of all evil and dark attributes, and extremely strong healing, purification, flight, and combat abilities.]

The Martial Soul itself is flawless and has boundless potential; it is the agent of the gods!
However, divine power also requires a divine capacity to bear it. Being overly fixated on divine position and mission, or confined by worldly emotions and grudges, becomes a shackle, making it difficult to reach the pinnacle of the divine realm.

[Strongest Holder: Qian Daoliu, Level 99 Peerless Douluo, Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, High Priest and Guide of the Angel God.] [Rewards Obtained (Qian Daoliu): All Spirit Rings' age increased by 30,000 years! Angelic Armor Tempering - 'Divine Resonance': His family's inherited Angelic Armor has been deeply tempered under the power of the Heavenly Dao, enabling it to more efficiently draw upon and store angelic divine power. When the wearer uses Angelic Spirit Skills, the power is increased by 30%, and the consumption is reduced by 20%.]

[Reward Obtained (Qian Daoliu): Ultimate Domain Sublimation - 'Angel God's Descent': His angelic domain undergoes a fundamental sublimation, the concentration of holy aura within its range surges dramatically, its suppression of non-holy attributes reaches its peak, and he can briefly summon an angel god phantom to fight alongside him. The phantom possesses fifty percent of the original's strength.]

……

[Most Talented Individual: Qian Renxue, Innate Soul Power Level 20, the chosen successor of the Angel God!]

[Reward Received (Qian Renxue): Divine Affinity Greatly Increased! Angelic Trial Progress Accelerated - 'Light of Divine Revelation': Receives one Heavenly Blessing. The next Angelic Trial will have its difficulty reduced by 20%, its success rate increased by 20%, and you will be able to more clearly comprehend the laws of angelic divine status.]

[Reward obtained (Qian Renxue): 100,000-year-old Soul Bone - 'Holy Angel Crown'! Comes with the Soul Bone skill 'Holy Imprisonment', which releases a powerful beam of holy light to imprison a single target and continuously purify their soul power and spiritual power. The effect is doubled against evil targets.]

……

boom!
A golden pillar of light, symbolizing the reward of Heaven, descended upon Wuhun City, completely engulfing Qian Daoliu, who was standing quietly in front of the angel statue in the Hall of Worship!

The other path landed deep within the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial palace on Qian Renxue, who was disguised as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe!

……

Enshrined in the temple.

Qian Daoliu slowly closed his eyes in the golden light, his face showing neither joy nor sorrow, only utmost piety and acceptance.

The six-winged angelic spirit behind him automatically manifested, becoming more solid and sacred, its wings seemingly woven from pure light energy.

His spirit ring configuration was already close to god-level, and now it has been upgraded by another 30,000 years, making his aura even more unfathomable.

More importantly, he felt an unprecedented resonance between himself and the angelic armor that had been passed down for countless generations, as if they were no longer external objects, but a part of his own body.

The sublimated "Angel God Descends" domain made him feel as if he could actually briefly draw upon the power of the gods and bring angels down to earth!

"Thanks to the grace of Heaven, I am able to better fulfill my duty of protection and welcome the return of my divine position."

Qian Daoliu slowly opened his eyes, golden light swirling in them. He nodded slightly to the sky, his tone calm yet authoritative.

His strength had not broken through level 100, but his foundation and application of divine power had reached an unprecedented level.

……

Inside the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, shuddered in the golden light.

She felt a warm and powerful force cleansing her body and soul at an astonishing speed. The angelic martial spirit within her rejoiced, its connection with the angelic god in the darkness becoming even stronger.

Then, a crown-shaped skull radiating a soft white light and covered with holy runes landed on her head, giving her a clear understanding of the secrets of the 'Holy Imprisonment' skill.

After this round of rewards, Qian Renxue could clearly feel that her path to the Divine Examination would become much smoother.
