Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 147 Welcome to the Sun Temple!

A month later, Qian Renxue was summoned to Jingyang City. Shen Yuanyi remained in Mingdu, continuing to help her teammates with training.

During this month-long publicity campaign, almost all residents of Jingyang City learned that a mysterious organization called the "Sun Temple" was organizing a free event to awaken martial spirits for all citizens.

Even some other cities in the surrounding area received this message.

At first, most people were skeptical about this. The Sun Moon Empire did indeed handle the matter of Martial Soul Awakening better than other countries, but it still required a Gold Soul Coin.

Some imperial officials would also secretly adjust this price. The reason was simple: if your child was suitable for studying soul guidance technology, they would give you drugs to improve your soul power cultivation. These drugs also cost money!

Therefore, some ordinary people and poor families in rural areas will still find it a bit difficult.

Similarly, they might suspect it's a scam, and after you awaken your martial spirit, they might use all sorts of reasons to morally blackmail you into staying and working for them, exploiting you.

This kind of thing doesn't only exist in the Sun Moon Empire; it also exists in the three eastern kingdoms.

However, the city lord of Jingyang City stepped forward at the right time, saying that His Highness the Crown Prince supported this matter, and that both His Highness the Crown Prince and the city lord himself would vouch for it with their own reputations!

The city lord's reputation might not be enough in their eyes, but if you add the Crown Prince... then the security of this matter increases! If the Crown Prince goes back on his word, it will undoubtedly weaken his support and give the other princes something to criticize!

Moreover, since the royal family and people of the Sun Moon Empire all believe in the Sun Martial Soul, the name of this Sun Temple could not have been chosen randomly.

As a result, ninety percent of their doubts were dispelled.

At this moment, inside the branch altar of the Holy Spirit Cult in Jingyang City, Qian Renxue and Ye Xishui met.

"Xiaoxue, this must be your first time in Jingyang City, right?" Ye Xishui still held a cigarette between her slender fingers, and wisps of smoke rose into the air.

Qian Renxue nodded: "It really is my first time. Teacher, is this thing really that good to suck?"

"It can calm me down for a while. Don't learn from it; things that make people feel comfortable are often poisonous." Ye Xishui stubbed out her cigarette, walked to the window, and looked outside.

"Look, the Spirit Hall's address and branch altar aren't together, but across the street. After a month of renovations, it's basically taken shape." Ye Xishui pointed to the restaurant opposite where the branch altar is located.

Qian Renxue looked towards the other side of the road, where there was a building that wasn't too big. It was said to be a property voluntarily donated by a member of the Holy Spirit Cult. Above the door plaque were four large characters: Sun Temple.

The property is quite large, and with the addition of several surrounding courtyards that were purchased and expanded, it is second only to the City Lord's Mansion in Jingyang City.

The first Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony will be held in this new Sun Temple, and a long queue has already formed outside the door.

"The awakening ceremony will begin in less than fifteen minutes. Go over there and prepare to preside over it," Ye Xishui said.

"Okay, sure." Qian Renxue smiled. "Teacher, please watch my performance."

Ye Xishui smiled and patted Qian Renxue on the shoulder.

Qian Renxue took a deep breath and changed her appearance, transforming it into the face she had shown when she displayed her divine skills in Mingdu.

Then, with Ye Xishui's help, she was enveloped in a ball of light-attribute soul power and traversed the road at incredible speed, arriving at the depths of the courtyard on the other side. No one noticed.

She came out and saw Lin Mengtong waiting there.

"You've arrived." Lin Mengtong bowed slightly. "The two Venerable Ones are currently maintaining order outside."

"Yes, you've worked hard." Qian Renxue patted her face. "I'll get ready too." "Are you nervous?"

"It's alright, but I feel like this is a meaningful ceremony, and nothing can go wrong." Qian Renxue took her second deep breath of the day. "Is everything ready?"

"Yes, everything's ready. As you instructed, the awakening array, the soul power testing device, and some small perks." Lin Mengtong nodded, "and... a few audience members who were arranged in advance to raise questions."

"Hmm." Qian Renxue touched her face.

It's strange, this isn't the first time she's done this kind of public speaking. She did it a long time ago when she was the crown prince in the palace, and she wasn't nervous when facing the entire population of Tiandou City.

"Do you have any wine? Give me a sip," Qian Renxue said.

At this moment, she began to miss her little team. If Shen Yuanyi and Xue Di were both there, the little fox would immediately sense her mood and pour her a cup of tea or sake. Xue Di would chat with her about the silly things they used to say when they first met. Bing Di... Bing Di would tell corny jokes and encourage her.

However, thankfully, there was the little devil there, who kept encouraging her.

"Is this a farewell drink for you?" Lin Mengtong poured her a drink and handed it to her. "This glass is a toast to the vast天地 (heaven and earth) and the new era!"

"Don't make it sound so tragic, like I'm never coming back." Qian Renxue took a sip. "Come back and drink the rest."

It was almost time. She patted her platinum battle robe, her expression as still as water.

She gently pushed open the door, letting sunlight stream in. It was early morning, and looking at the bustling crowd that had already entered the mansion where the temple was located, Qian Renxue suddenly felt a surge of confidence.

"Welcome to... the Temple of the Sun!"

The crowd, which had been whispering amongst themselves, suddenly fell silent. Everyone was drawn to the voice and turned to look at Qian Renxue.

Crow Douluo and Bone Dragon Douluo stood on either side of the mansion's main gate, like two gatekeepers.

"Welcome, Young Master of the Sun Temple!"

They suddenly started clapping, and following their lead, everyone else joined in, the applause thundering like a storm.

This was information they had received in advance: Qian Renxue would appear as the "Young Master" this time. This was to give everyone the impression that there was someone of a higher rank than the Young Master inside the Sun Temple.

And they are already titled Douluo, above them... there can only be Super Douluo!

Everyone saw her face clearly, and some of them immediately recognized the identity of this young master of the temple as the Sun Goddess who had displayed great power in Mingdu a few months ago!

So the Sun Goddess disappeared all this time and never appeared again because she was preparing to do something big for everyone at this time?!

Whispers arose from the crowd. It wasn't just the spies that Qian Renxue and her group had arranged in advance, but also many people from Mingdu, who were quietly introducing the young master of the Holy Temple to those around them.

The Temple of the Sun is once again favored by the people, especially those who came from Mingdu!

Qian Renxue pressed her hands down lightly, and the crowd below quieted down again.

They certainly wouldn't use the name of the Spirit Hall directly for their debut, so they chose the name Sun Temple, which represents the attributes of the little angel and also aligns with the Sun Moon Empire's sun worship.

Tyranny cannot stop the tremors of recovery; we endure and rediscover courage, then await the rekindling of the wildfire.
