Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Soon, accompanied by a golden streak of light streaking across the sky, a figure with a profound aura appeared in the sight of Mu Yang and the others.

The newcomer appeared to be only in his thirties, dressed in a blue robe and gold armor, with long, neatly combed golden hair cascading down his back. He was quite handsome, with a faint smile on his face.

It was none other than Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, known as "Invincible in the Sky".

Compared to the spirited and somewhat arrogant Mu Yang, Qian Daoliu seemed like a gentle older youth, showing none of the ruthlessness he once displayed as the number one executioner of the Spirit Hall.

"I have met the High Priest!"

Upon seeing Qian Daoliu arrive, everyone from the Spirit Empire, except for Bibi Dong, immediately bowed in respect.

Qian Daoliu waved his hand, not caring about Bibi Dong's "disrespect," and looked at Mu Yang not far away with a smile.

Although Qian Daoliu had never met Mu Yang before, he had been sending people to keep an eye on Mu Yang's news.

The young man was a talented individual, and he was also on good terms with his beloved granddaughter. Even though Mu Yang had come to challenge him, Qian Daoliu still did not regard Mu Yang as an enemy.

In fact, if Mu Yang hadn't already had a girlfriend, Qian Daoliu would have wanted to meet the young man in front of him long ago.

For Qian Daoliu, who is over 150 years old, he has seen many things, especially after his son Qian Xunji died and his granddaughter Qian Renxue awakened an unprecedented level 20 innate soul power. Only two regrets and two wishes remain in his heart.

Unfortunately, he was outmatched by half a move and lost to his old rival, Tang Chen.

She also regrets that she couldn't choose Poseidon, whom she still cherishes in her heart, but instead chose Tang Chen. What's even more infuriating is that Tang Chen later disappeared, leaving Poseidon waiting in vain until now.

As for his two greatest wishes, as the guardian of the Angel God, Qian Daoliu's greatest wish is undoubtedly to restore the glory of the angels and let the radiance of the Angel God spread across the entire continent once again.

As the current patriarch of the Angel Clan and the grandfather of his granddaughter Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu undoubtedly hopes that the Angel lineage can begin to spread and change the situation of declining population.

Mu Yang is talented, good-looking, and not much older than his granddaughter Qian Renxue, making them fellow Soul Masters of the same generation. In addition, the two are acquainted, making him undoubtedly the best choice for Qian Daoliu's grandson-in-law.

Unfortunately, Mu Yang already has a girlfriend, and he and Shui Bing'er even have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, so their relationship is undoubtedly strong. It's clearly impossible for him to ask Shui Bing'er to give way to his granddaughter.

Fortunately, Qian Daoliu was not angry about this. Soul Masters cannot become gods; sooner or later they will turn into a handful of dust.

Mu Yang is undergoing a divine examination, and his granddaughter Qian Renxue is also undergoing a divine examination. If nothing unexpected happens, the two of them will be able to ascend to godhood in the future and enjoy endless lifespans.

In this way, his ideal grandson-in-law might actually become his grandson-in-law; at most, he just won't live to see that day.

Therefore, Qian Daoliu held great goodwill towards Mu Yang, who came to challenge him.

Even if he loses to Mu Yang in the next challenge, Qian Daoliu will not change his attitude, because he regards Mu Yang as his junior.

In the eyes of elders, the more outstanding their younger generation is, the better.

"Greetings, senior."

Seeing that Qian Daoliu's gaze had fallen on them, Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er bowed.

"Young man, you dare challenge this old man?"

Qian Daoliu's tone was very gentle.

Mu Yang nodded and said, "Please forgive me, senior, this is a task that I must complete."

Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu glanced at the faintly majestic golden-red sword mark between Mu Yang's brows and understood.

Since it's a task that absolutely must be completed, it must be a test from the gods.

Judging by this pace, is Mu Yang about to ascend to godhood?

After all, the divine examination is bound to progress from easy to difficult, and Mu Yang's current examination task is to defeat him, the strongest person on the continent who is only half a step away from the realm of gods. This is obviously not the early stage of the divine examination, but the eighth or even the ninth stage.

Clearly, Qian Daoliu was unaware that Mu Yang had inherited the Asura Godhood, a God-King level position. The difficulty of the assessment was far beyond that of ordinary God Tests, and the specific progress and difficulty could not be measured by the Angel God Tests that he knew.

Otherwise, if the God King level divine test were so easy to complete, then the once invincible Tang Chen on land wouldn't have failed in the divine test.

"Now?"

Qian Daoliu said with a smile.

Mu Yang wanted to challenge and defeat him in order to complete the assessment task, and he also wanted to test the young man's abilities.

"Of course, it's now. To be honest, I still have to make a trip to Poseidon Island later."

Mu Yang nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Daoliu's face darkened.

What does this mean? Are you trying to take me for granted?

However, upon learning that not only he had become Mu Yang's assessment target, but also Poseidon, and that they were taking the same assessment, Qian Daoliu realized that Mu Yang's strength was even greater than he had expected.

This is because Qian Daoliu clearly understands that the gods set up divine tests in order to select outstanding successors to the divine throne.

Since a successor to the divine position has already been chosen, there will absolutely be no test that the successor cannot possibly complete. Otherwise, if the test is too difficult and the successor is absolutely unable to complete it, the test will lose its purpose.

In other words, in the eyes of the deity who chose Mu Yang, Mu Yang was capable of defeating him and Poseidon and passing the test.

This process may be quite difficult, and may even take some time, but it is not a task that Mu Yang absolutely cannot complete.

His strength is far inferior to that of Poseidon on the high seas. According to this calculation, in the eyes of that god, he, the "Invincible in the Sky" who is only half a step away from being a god, is probably no match for Mu Yang.

"A Battle in the Skies!"

With a dark expression, he uttered a single sentence and then Qian Daoliu soared straight into the sky.

Feeling slighted by both the gods and the people, Qian Daoliu was somewhat displeased. He had originally intended to hold back a little, but now he had changed his mind. He was not only prepared to go all out, but also to choose the sky battlefield that best suited his strength.

Hmph~, young people probably don't know how powerful I, Sky Invincible, am!

Seeing that Qian Daoliu's tone was not very friendly, Mu Yang shrugged, spread his Ice Flame Wings on his back, and chased after him.

Seeing this, Shui Bing'er, Bibi Dong, and the others, not wanting to miss such a great battle, also flew up and followed.

Outside Wuhun City, thousands of meters above the ground, Mu Yang and Qian Daoliu stood facing each other, separated by a hundred meters.

A holy golden light shone forth, and as the three pairs of angel wings unfurled, nine spirit rings—black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, and red—bloomed from Qian Daoliu's body, which was possessed by a six-winged angel martial spirit.

"Only one 100,000-year spirit ring? Looks like the eighth spirit ring isn't very good."

Looking at Qian Daoliu's eight black and one red spirit ring configuration, Mu Yang couldn't help but think to himself. (End of Chapter)
