Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 40 Using a borrowed knife to kill

"Judging by the time, the Divine Trial should be starting soon," Su Cheng thought to himself.

Qian Renxue's progress in the divine examination will definitely be much faster than in the original work.

Although he didn't know the specific challenges of the first eight tests, he knew the general direction of the divine test.

It's simply about raising the three aspects of soul, body, and martial spirit to the level of a quasi-god, and increasing the affinity with the godhood so that in the final step, one can perfectly fit into the godhood, condense the divine soul, reshape the divine body, and transform divine power.

Su Cheng's training of Qian Renxue has always been based on this approach, in order to enable her to gain the greatest benefit in the Divine Examination.

Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

That's true for the first eight exams, but what about the ninth?

Su Cheng didn't want to engage in conspiracy theories, as excessive speculation would cloud his judgment. However, for the sake of the future, he needed to find out if there were any other hidden details.

The ninth test of the angel in the original timeline is really strange.

Angels are not evil gods; their attributes are upright and righteous.

Logically, tempering the soul and causing it to transform should involve strengthening one's will and using the temptations of emotions and desires as a whetstone.

However, during Qian Renxue's ninth trial, Bibi Dong and Tang San, who shouldn't have appeared, both did.

The legacy of angels can be accomplished through hatred and lust? Don't be ridiculous.

Moreover, it's highly illogical that Tang San was able to learn about the Angel God's test when he later underwent the Sea God's test.

Moreover, the punishment for failing the ninth angelic trial is death. The Qian family of the Spirit Hall are all descendants of the Angel God. It's one thing to not give their descendants special treatment, but to go so far as to persecute them to death. Su Cheng didn't really believe it.

The divine examination is something that can be difficult or simple. Assuming the successor meets the requirements, the attitude of the original holder of the divine position can play a significant role.

However, he will only be able to learn the details after Qian Renxue completes the inheritance.

Su Cheng then looked towards the direction of the Papal Palace.

"Bibi Dong, are you ready to take the ninth trial? Will you devour the three top-tier beast spirits—the Golden Crocodile, the Azure Phoenix, and the Lion—that are offered to you?"

Inside the Pope's private chamber in the Papal Palace of Wuhun City.

Bibi Dong, who was sitting cross-legged in cultivation, slowly opened her eyes, which shone with a scarlet blood light.

Her once noble and beautiful face now looked horribly distorted, with streaks of blood crisscrossing her face.

Behind her, an indistinct black shadow appeared.

Bibi Dong took a deep breath, and a dark purple light surged around her. The changes on her body gradually disappeared, and she returned to her original appearance, although she looked somewhat pale.

Unlike Su Cheng, she could clearly sense the Angelic Trial that was currently being initiated in the Douluo Palace.

His eyes blazed with hatred. "Qian Daoliu, your son ruined me, so I will destroy everything your angel clan has to offer."

She stretched out her right hand, and a book floated into her grasp, which she then turned to.

The pages were wrinkled, and even the edges of the cover were frayed, indicating that it had been there for a long time and had been frequently held and examined by people.

"...Weapon spirits are more like tools. In the hands of a spirit master, they are easier to excel in one aspect, such as attack, defense, or control, compared to beast spirits. While beast spirits also have their own focus, their abilities are more balanced."

"Especially the aspect of spirit possession is a unique advantage of beast spirits, which can enhance the spirit master's various qualities. In other words, beast spirits can actually enhance a person's mental will to a certain extent, which is something that weapon spirits cannot do."

"Furthermore, if the strength of a Martial Soul can be significantly increased, the effect of a Beast Martial Soul on enhancing a Soul Master's willpower will far exceed expectations. I have personally experienced this firsthand..."

This is a theory that Yu Xiaogang published a few years ago. Bibi Dong would take it out and look at it repeatedly whenever she had free time. She could practically recite the contents of this page by heart.

"Increase the strength of your Martial Soul..."

Having the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor Martial Soul, she naturally knew how to enhance its strength.

The feast of blood and flesh prepared by Qian Xunji back then gave her quite a pleasant surprise.

A strange light flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes. "Xiao Gang, this is probably fate. Even at this point, you can still do me a great favor in the dark."

She was initially hesitant about whether to devour those people in the Hall of Offerings.

If she continues to cultivate step by step for another ten years, she will surely be able to successfully complete the Rakshasa God Test, and then she will be invincible in the world.

But now that she saw Qian Renxue had also begun her divine trial, she couldn't sit still any longer.

Bibi Dong is just crazy, not stupid. Over the years, she has naturally noticed the changes in Qian Renxue's attitude.

I had long suspected that the other party already knew the truth about Qian Xunji's death back then.

The feud between the mother and daughter might not necessarily end with one of them dying, but she would not allow herself to be spared only because of Qian Renxue's pity.

What she wanted was to decide for herself whether to completely destroy the angel race.

"Who should I start with...?"

She stuck out her tongue and gently licked the corner of her lips, a wicked and insane smile appearing on Bibi Dong's face.

The three high priests were naturally no match for her, but with their combined strength suppressed by the divine test, it would be difficult for her to kill them all at once; she could only defeat them one by one.

Moreover, the commotion would be considerable if a real battle broke out. Although Qian Daoliu was accompanying Qian Renxue during the divine test, he was not completely unable to escape.

She needs to plan carefully.

Besides that, there's someone else she's disliked for a long time.

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong got up and walked out of the secret room to the Papal Palace, where she summoned Chrysanthemum Douluo.

"Your Majesty."

"Yue Guan, have you been getting quite close to Su Cheng lately?" Bibi Dong asked casually.

"Yes, I promised Mr. Su that I would help him with his spiritual practice over the next few years."

"Help him cultivate?" Bibi Dong frowned upon hearing this. "Don't you have anything better to do?"

"Your Majesty, my breakthrough in cultivation over the past few years is entirely thanks to Mr. Su's gift of a magical herb called the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum."

Yue Guan appeared calm, but her heart skipped a beat.

Su Cheng had just spoken to him, saying that if the Pope asked, he could tell him about the existence of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.

Turning around, he saw that Bibi Dong had actually asked the question, and he immediately realized that there were too many things he couldn't understand.

Something big seems to be about to happen at the Spirit Hall.

"A rare and precious chrysanthemum?!" Bibi Dong exclaimed in surprise. "That's not yours..."

"It is a celestial herb that is exactly the same as my martial spirit."

After hearing this, Bibi Dong remained silent for a long time before waving her hand to signal that the other party could leave.

After he left, her face instantly darkened, and her heart was filled with turmoil.

Just how long ago did Su Cheng begin making preparations for this situation?

She was initially puzzled as to why Yue Guan, whose cultivation progress had been slow in the past few years, had made such rapid progress.

When asked at the time, the other party hesitated and did not give a reply.

So that's the reason.

"Su Cheng..."

A hint of killing intent flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, but it vanished without a trace.

Su Cheng was merely a minor Soul King, a mere trifle.

Now that Chrysanthemum Douluo, whose strength has greatly increased, is protecting us, there is no need to create any more trouble for this matter.

In comparison, Qian Renxue, who has the potential to become a god, is the real threat.
