Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 66 The Sun Angel, A God Descends!

While the Little Angel's comprehension of swordsmanship wasn't as high as Qian Daoliu's, it still far surpassed that of ordinary Soul Masters. The Little Devil, on the other hand, could only be considered to have naturally grasped some of it due to their shared understanding.

Ji Juechen was panting heavily. Although he could overwhelm his opponent in terms of soul power cultivation, he could feel that he was like a novice when it came to using swords.

He silently adjusted his soul power output. He hadn't used his full strength during their previous fight, but rather used power roughly equivalent to that of a Soul Master.

Qian Renxue naturally sensed the change in the other person as well, and she nodded: "That's right. Even a lion needs to go all out to hunt a rabbit. What you see is not necessarily the truth."

Ji Juechen took a deep breath and regulated his breathing: "Thank you! In any case, I lost this match, and I learned a lot! However, I still hope you can finish this spar with me. I think your abilities are more than what you just showed."

Qian Renxue twirled the long sword in her right hand: "Alright."

From the stands, Long Xiaoyao asked in a low voice, "Have you seen her fight before?"

"I've seen it before, but this seems to be the first time," Shen Yuanyi replied in a low voice.

"This kid nicknamed Sword Maniac is quite an oddball." Long Xiaoyao turned his gaze back to the center of the arena.

Just as he was about to say something more, the oddball was violently forced back, staggering as he regained his balance. The longsword in his hand trembled slightly, as if it were groaning.

In the instant the two exchanged blows, Ji Juechen grasped a technique—the "control of the sword" that Qian Renxue had just mentioned. As his blade clashed with Qian Renxue's, he repeatedly slashed his own sword along her path. This was an instinct he developed as a swordsman, a way of constantly exploring his opponent's swordsmanship during combat.

Then he seized a moment and swung his sword at the hilt of the knife held by Qian Renxue. All his previous probing had been for this moment.

But things still took an unexpected turn. He made a mistake: he forgot that Qian Renxue had been wielding her knife with only one hand throughout the fight!

Qian Renxue realized her opponent's intention. Before his final strike could land, she took a half step forward and struck Ji Juechen in the chest with her left hand.

If Ji Juechen hadn't been wearing a defensive soul tool, this attack would have definitely broken his ribs, because Qian Renxue's physical strength was already higher than her cultivation level, and at this moment, she also had a 100,000-year-old soul bone on her left arm!

Just like the Jialing Pass city gate ten thousand years ago, Ji Juechen experienced the feeling of being "directly hit by a battering ram." In that instant, it seemed as if his soul was about to fly out of his body.

Ji Juechen felt a sense of powerlessness for the first time as his remaining soul power cultivation seemed to be worn down by his opponent's powerful physical strength.

"My God, our sword fanatic was actually pushed away by the challenger with one hand! What kind of physical strength is that?!"

The host, standing outside the soul-guiding barrier, loudly explained the competition through a megaphone.

"Again!" Ji Juechen wiped the blood from his mouth and stood up again.

Qian Renxue frowned. Ji Juechen's injuries were not light. She could sense that her opponent had some kind of defensive armor on him, like armor, but it was probably underneath his clothes.

"Why don't you use your own soul skills?" Ji Juechen suddenly asked.

Qian Renxue thought to herself, "I actually used a soul skill, but you just didn't notice."

Her second soul skill is "Dance of Light Overturns the Sky." Qian Renxue possesses extremely high speed because she constantly resonates with the surrounding light elements, using this to continuously dodge and weave.

But then she suddenly remembered what the little devil had once said. At that time, she was on her deathbed and heard the little devil's roar the moment she closed her eyes.

"You don't understand the real Qian Renxue at all. Against Qian Renxue, all your skills are just extras; in the end, we can only resort to swift, deadly strikes!"

That's just childish nonsense, because Little Devil didn't have any Soul Skills at that time.

But it also feels like a kind of affection for a little angel.

"Because, in the end, we can only resort to bloodshed!" The little angel roared as she finished her recollection.

Ji Juechen swung his sword fiercely. He had enough confidence in his sword. If it weren't for Qian Renxue's soul power being too strange, he would have been fully capable of shattering her soul guide longsword in a direct clash.

His sword was created by transforming his own martial soul energy into physical energy, combining it with "celestial meteorite iron" using a soul-guided tempering technique, and refining it day after day for ten years until he finally succeeded in shaping it into a sword. Although his innate soul power was only level three, his daily arduous training allowed him to improve; he understood all too well the principle that diligence can make up for lack of talent. Furthermore, at the age of eight, he entered a habitat of soul beasts alone, emerging three days later covered in blood, having acquired his first hundred-year soul ring.

A series of sparks flew across the blades as their swords clashed again. Ji Juechen's blade seemed to be deflected by Qian Renxue's longsword, together tracing a complete circle.

At the same time, it was as if a golden sun enveloped the two of them. Ji Juechen was worshipping Qian Renxue, while Qian Renxue stood in the center of the sun, like a god descending to earth! The trajectories of their swords were the edge of the sun!

"This...this is!" Ji Juechen suddenly stepped back.

On the viewing platform, all the spectators looked up at the golden sun in unison!

The Sun Moon Empire does not believe in gods. They believe that as long as soul guidance technology is developed to its limit, there is nothing in this world that cannot be solved by a level nine soul guidance shell. If there is, then the level nine will be upgraded to level ten.

However, when this idea actually came to them, they discovered a sad fact: the Sun Moon Empire was currently unable to produce true level 10 soul-guided cannonballs. The reason was simple: their soul power was insufficient.

They don't believe in gods, but they believe in the sun!

Today, the signature martial soul of the Yue Empire's royal family is the Sun Martial Soul!

Before Qian Renxue's fall, her true divine position was no longer that of a simple angel god, but rather a sun angel incarnated from her own body, possessing the authority of the sun and the true fire of the sun.

At this moment, the little angel revealed his sword intent for the first time, thereby activating his martial soul and revealing a small part of the power of the sun.

"God...?" In a corner not far away, a figure exclaimed in surprise before disappearing in a flash.

Long Xiaoyao's eyes flickered.

"Grandpa Long, what's wrong?" Shen Yuanyi noticed that Grandpa Long's expression changed.

She wasn't too surprised by the changes in Qian Renxue, as she already knew that the Saintess's martial soul was the Little Angel.

Although we don't know exactly what the little angel is or what it will do, it's not surprising that it has some connection with the sun.

"A court official of the Sun and Moon Empire." Long Xiaoyao's voice echoed in Shen Yuanyi's mind. "No problem, your teacher is the chief court official of that hall."

……

"You actually managed to fake it, Xue'er!" The little devil exclaimed in amazement as he saw the outside world through the projection.

"I originally thought that my 'Rise, my beloved subjects' was just something I said casually, but it seems that you are really more powerful than I was when I was using the Holy Spirit Cult to bully them!" The little devil seemed very happy, and her words were full of praise for the little angel. In her mind, the little angel should rule the world.

Then, being bullied by Shuangxue in her little nest, just thinking about it has a special kind of beauty to it.

"It seems like I've overdone it a bit," came the little angel's voice.

"It's alright! We've already joined the Holy Spirit Cult. The Empire still has to give them some face in the face of such power!"

Yes, she was overdoing it a bit.

At this moment, Qian Renxue was like a god descending to earth, using the wisp of divine consciousness in her mind, and through the Angelic Divine Technique and sword intent, she completely released the Angelic Martial Soul.

In the original work, after Huo Yuhao's battle with Ji Juechen, his spiritual power was sublimated, undergoing a qualitative change, reaching the boundless ocean. This brought his soul power and spiritual power to a crossroads of convergence and fusion. Then, with the help of Tianmeng, he completely stepped into the realm of the boundless ocean. Moreover, according to Ilex, this realm is the foundation for ascending to godhood.

If Ji Juechen is taken away, then this critical point will not occur in Huo Yuhao's life. Because after fighting with Qian Renxue, Ji Juechen will no longer take his so-called "ruling the world" seriously, and naturally will not be so bored as to challenge him.
