Chapter 97 The Second Martial Soul (Bonus Chapter, Please Subscribe)

"You're so thoughtful!"

Thanatos revealed a knowing smile, and the next moment the illusory figure suddenly shone brightly, and his figure began to become clear in front of Xiao Yu and Qian Renxue.

He was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, but his eyes were particularly bright, filled with a cold indifference that had been weathered by time. His black outfit made him appear even more solemn.

"Are you ready?"

Danadus glanced at Xiao Yu and spoke calmly.

"Senior, come on!"

"Little one, I've pinned all my hopes on you, don't let me down!"

Xiao Yu smiled confidently: "I will certainly live up to your expectations, senior!"

"Haha, you little rascal, you really suit my taste!"

As he spoke, Thanatos's body began to tremble violently.

The next moment, the enormous body exploded, and countless black rays of light gathered together, eventually forming a ball of light about the size of a fist, which then pierced straight into Xiao Yu's body with a whoosh.

Thanatos was right. The power of the Grim Reaper was extremely compatible with Xiao Yu's first martial soul. Or rather, the power of the Underworld King was more like the Grim Reaper's ascension. This vast divine power entered Xiao Yu's body as obediently as a pet finding its master. Not only did it not cause any discomfort or conflict to Xiao Yu's body, but it also silently nourished Xiao Yu's meridians, making Xiao Yu's already powerful physique even stronger.

In less than two hours, the power of the Grim Reaper had been fully integrated into Xiao Yu's body, and Xiao Yu's left hand began to condense a second martial soul created by the power of the Grim Reaper.

It was a scythe that was entirely black, with crimson lines extending from its tip to the handle, every inch of it exuding mystery. The blade was curved like a crescent moon, incredibly sharp, and the inner side of the blade had a subtle serrated design, making it even more visually intimidating.

This is the Grim Reaper's former weapon, the Death Scythe. It is the symbol of Death on earth, capable of easily severing the lifeline of any living being and silently reaping the souls that belong to Death.

Congratulations!

As soon as Xiao Yu, who had just condensed his second martial soul, opened his eyes, he heard Qian Renxue's sour voice beside him.

How could I not be jealous?

Qian Renxue knew without a doubt that the second martial soul, condensed from the power of the Grim Reaper, would inevitably be another god-level martial soul.

Originally, both of them possessed a divine-level martial soul, putting them on the same level. However, Xiao Yu has now developed twin martial souls, which means he has a significant head start over her. Even after years of cultivating her character in the royal family, Qian Renxue couldn't help but feel jealous.

Xiao Yu smiled slightly. The great gift from the Grim Reaper truly satisfied him. Two god-level martial souls—just for that alone, he could confidently guarantee that he was already the number one person on the Douluo Continent.

Sensing the jealousy in Qian Renxue's words, Xiao Yu calmly said, "We now have a common enemy. Isn't my becoming stronger a good thing for you too?"

Asura God!

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue immediately thought of this hypocritical and despicable enforcer of the divine realm. Xiao Yu was right; because they shared a common enemy, they were now natural allies.

Qian Renxue understood that although Xiao Yu was somewhat decadent in his private life, he was still trustworthy in his dealings with others. Since he had already promised Death, he would never go back on his word.

As for himself, there's no need to say more. The first Angel God, who was also his ancestor, perished at the hands of the Asura God. This hypocrite, the Asura God, even chose Tang San, who had a deep-seated hatred for the Spirit Hall, as his successor. This clearly meant to destroy the Angel God's foundation in the Douluo Continent.

Compared to Xiao Yu, she is the one in a life-or-death situation with the God of Asura.

"you're right!"

Qian Renxue nodded slightly. According to Thanatos, the Asura God had already recruited the Sea God as an ally. Even if she could complete the Angel God's test and inherit the divine position, she would still be no match for two gods. Only by joining forces with Xiao Yu, who also had the potential to break through to level 100, could they have a chance of winning in a two-on-two battle. Therefore, the stronger Xiao Yu became, the more advantageous it was for her than disadvantageous.

"Your Highness, now that we are allies with shared goals, wouldn't you consider taking our relationship to the next level?"

Once he was overjoyed at being given a second martial soul by Thanatos, Xiao Yu started acting silly again, teasing the angelic girl every day.

"OK!"

Unlike her usual method of telling Xiao Yu to get lost, this time Qian Renxue raised a flirtatious eyebrow and smiled sweetly.

Qian Renxue wasn't speaking sarcastically out of anger; she had genuinely considered the matter carefully. Although she had already accepted the Angel God's test, even with her confidence, Qian Renxue understood that breaking through to level 100 would be at least ten years away.

Ten years is a long time, and no one can predict what might happen in the meantime. The best way to keep Xiao Yu on your side is to make the two of them partners.

However, who is Qian Renxue? In terms of status and prestige, she is probably second to none. How could she possibly accept sharing a husband with other women?

"It's not impossible for you to marry me!"

Qian Renxue gestured towards the outside of the cave and said, "If you get rid of those two, I can agree to your request!"

"No!"

To Qian Renxue's surprise, Xiao Yu refused without even considering it.

"So decisive!"

Qian Renxue's expression changed slightly. Girls always have a competitive streak, and she was no exception. Could it be that she was inferior to Ye Lingling and Huo Wu? "Don't you know what kind of help you would get if you married me? Don't you really want to think about it?"

"This isn't a question of whether or not to consider it!"

Xiao Yu's expression was somewhat serious: "Lingling and Huowu have sacrificed so much for me. They entrusted themselves to me completely because they trusted me. How could I possibly betray their trust? Moreover, if I abandon Lingling and Huowu today for power and status, then if someone offers a higher price in the future, I will abandon you as well!"

"You have a point!"

A thoughtful look flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes before she said in a deep voice after a long pause, "If you really give up on them both today, I'll really look down on you when I think back on it!"

"What a pity!"

Qian Renxue changed the subject, her voice tinged with regret: "I would never accept sharing my husband with another woman!"

"That's not necessarily true; never be so absolute!"

"So you're really planning to build a harem here!"

Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at Xiao Yu: "Don't even mention me disagreeing, even if I did agree, my grandfather wouldn't!"
