Chapter 164: Are You a God's Successor?
The Spirit Hall might attack the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan at any moment. If anyone else had been here, Kong would have followed Qian Renxue's suggestion and informed Xue Ye to gain some benefits.
Hearing this, warmth flooded Qian Renxue's heart, leaving her touched and grateful.
All these years, aside from her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, she had never felt such "love." To Qian Renxue, it was like a ray of warmth in the middle of winter.
So Kong did care about her!
Even though he knew their relationship was somewhat oppositional, Kong had never "hurt" her.
She hadn't misjudged him; Kong was her destined one, her salvation.
"Kong, as long as I'm alive, the Spirit Hall will never make a move against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
Qian Renxue rarely made promises, and her words came out almost without thinking, but she meant every word.
As Kong had said, they were friends.
And in the future, who knew what their relationship might become?
If they did unite, the Spirit Hall would never attack the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Kong was slightly surprised; Qian Renxue's words carried weight, like the promise Qian Daoliu once made to Tang Chen not to attack the Clear Sky Clan.
Qian Daoliu's word was his bond; he was true to his promises.
However, whether or not the Spirit Hall would attack the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was ultimately Bibi Dong's decision.
But given the "laws" of this love-driven continent, Kong believed that if Qian Renxue made such a promise, she would indeed stand against Bibi Dong if the latter insisted on an attack.
"With the current foundation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, even without Ei's intervention, it wouldn't be easy to attack," Kong thought but didn't say aloud.
A war to wipe out the clan?
Kong no longer worried about it. Even if a god descended, they would find no escape!
The Spirit Hall was already nothing to fear.
This was the confidence that came with true strength, a confidence given by his beloved Ei...
"Thank you, Your Highness," Kong said with a smile.
"Your Highness?"
For some reason, Qian Renxue felt something off in his words. Was it his tone? Or perhaps his smile?
He really shouldn't be smiling like that in such a serious moment, right?
Without dwelling on it, Qian Renxue averted her gaze from Kong's face and continued looking at the sky.
Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she shuddered slightly. "Kong, I heard from my uncles that your first soul ring is actually a hundred-thousand-year ring?"
Honestly, if it weren't for her knowledge of She Long and Shi Xue's characters, Qian Renxue would have thought the two Title Douluos had lost their minds!
Her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, who completed the Angelic Eight Trials, only had eight black rings and one red ring.
And yet Kong's first soul ring was red? The purple one was just a disguise?
Then, what color were his other six soul rings?
"Yes, my first soul ring is indeed a hundred-thousand-year ring," Kong replied, nodding without hiding it. Whether it was a hundred-thousand-year ring or a ten-thousand-year ring, such things didn't matter as long as one was strong.
The Raiden Shogun had no soul rings, and though she was at the "same level" as Kong, could Kong truly contend with her?
Clearly not!
For a true powerhouse, soul rings and their age were trivial; they were merely the keys to breaking the "rules."
Without soul rings, a soul master couldn't break through to the next title level, no matter how much they accumulated soul power—it was an iron law.
Unless one's strength surpassed the rules of Douluo Continent.
However, to surpass the rules of Douluo, one needed the "key," which was the soul ring, to break through.
It was a seemingly unbreakable cycle!
Without soul rings, a soul master cannot break through. But using a soul ring requires hunting a soul beast.
Since hunting soul beasts is necessary, it naturally follows that stronger soul rings are better.
This is why, on the Douluo Continent, soul masters rely almost entirely on soul rings, with little emphasis on innovation or creating original skills.
This is also why soul masters care so much about the age of their soul rings.
The stronger the soul ring, the stronger the soul master!
Qian Renxue: "..."
Something was very off.
From what she knew, even if Kong was a Twin Martial Soul wielder, that naginata should be his primary martial soul. And besides, not everyone has Twin Martial Souls—such a talent is exceedingly rare!
But a hundred-thousand-year soul ring as his first? It didn't make sense!
How could a tenth-level soul warrior possibly bear the energy of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring? Even if Kong's innate soul power were level 20 or 30, he still wouldn't have been able to absorb a hundred-thousand-year soul ring right from the start!
Could it have been a sacrifice?
Thinking of this, Qian Renxue shook her head. A sacrifice? What hundred-thousand-year soul beast would sacrifice itself for someone who wasn't even a soul master?
Even if such a soul beast existed, the energy produced by its sacrifice would be too overwhelming for a mere "soul warrior" to withstand!
"Are you a god's successor?"
Qian Renxue knew this was a bold question, but she couldn't resist asking it.
Her grandfather had completed the Angelic Eight Trials, yet even his eighth soul ring wasn't a hundred-thousand-year one! Unless Kong was the successor of a god—someone who received divine inheritance as soon as his martial soul awakened!
Her innate level 20 soul power was thanks to the blessing of the Angel God, breaking the Douluo Continent's "curse" of a maximum innate level of 10.
Kong's innate soul power was undoubtedly above level 10!
Otherwise, how could he have reached the Soul Sage level in just six or seven years?
Such high innate soul power was very likely connected to some godly influence!
Kong thought for a moment before shaking his head. He was not the successor of any god from this world.
And Ei was no god—she was an archon.
"I'm not a god's successor. But you, on the other hand, have a good chance of inheriting the position of the Angel God."
Qian Renxue: "..."
Did she have no secrets at all in front of Kong?
He even knew about her inheritance of the Angel God!
With an innate level of 20 soul power, Qian Renxue was the most promising candidate in a thousand years to undergo the Angelic Nine Trials and complete them, becoming the next Angel God.
Although Qian Renxue wasn't fully aware of this yet, she did know about the Angel God's inheritance.
After all, Qian Daoliu was the Grand Worshipper of the Angel God, and the inheritance guarded by the Worshipper Hall was none other than that of the Angel God!
Wait, they had been talking about Kong, so how had the topic shifted to her?
"Not a god's successor?"
Qian Renxue was utterly baffled. She couldn't understand how Kong, who wasn't a god's successor, could have a hundred-thousand-year soul ring as his first!
Every soul master has their secrets, and her questions had already crossed the bounds of what friends should ask each other…
