Chapter 302: The Situation of the Mainland's Inheritors

Asura Space

Li Luochen was impaled through the chest by a sword once again—it was already impossible to count how many times he had been killed. He had grown numb to it.

Lying on the ground, his eyes vacant, Li Luochen muttered, "I really miss eating Yanzi's cooking… especially that sweet-and-sour pork ribs."

War God: "What are you dawdling for? Get up!"

Li Luochen: "Yes—(д)"

Several days later, Sea God Island

Xiao Bai had already shared everything she knew about the Holy Pillar Douluos' abilities with the members of Shrek Academy. How much they absorbed, however, was another matter.

After all, several among them were Soul Douluos, each possessing hundred-thousand-year soul rings. Who feared whom?

This trial pitted Dugu Yan against all seven Holy Pillar Douluos.

Zhu Zhuqing, having ascended to Title Douluo status, would face two Sea Douluos.

Ma Hongjun would face the Sea Star Douluo.

Yu Tianxin would face the Sea Dragon Douluo.

Yang Wu would face the Sea Spear Douluo.

Oscar would face the Sea Delusion Douluo.

Bai Chenxiang would face the Sea Ghost Douluo.

Niu Dun would face the Sea Horse Douluo.

Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling simply needed to support their teammates to secure victory.

Slaughter City, Former Palace of the Slaughter King

"Hahahaha! This Slaughter King truly was a great nourishing source! Just by devouring his remains, I've ascended to Title Douluo rank! And I even gained unrestricted access to the Killing City!

How wonderful! It's time to complete the soul rings for my Hao Tian Hammer. My luck here has been extraordinary.

Li Luochen is such a fool to leave this valuable corpse behind for me. As a token of gratitude, I'll leave him a whole body."

The speaker was a white-haired young man with an eerie appearance. This was none other than Tang San, who had devoured and completely digested Tang Chen's remains.

"However, the seventh and eighth soul rings have low durations—forty thousand years, sixty thousand years? The Slaughter City truly doesn't have good offerings. There aren't even any soul beasts around.

If not for the Slaughter King raising two soul beasts, I wouldn't know what to do. Next, I'll head to the Starry Battle Colosseum Forest to hunt for souls and complete my Hao Tian Hammer soul rings.

A dual martial soul Title Douluo—truly unmatched in the world!"

With that, Tang San departed. He was heading to the Great Star Dou Forest to hunt for souls, and along the way, he planned to find his uncle for guidance, as hunting under his leadership would be far more efficient.

Spirit Hall

*Boom!* Golden light exploded into countless shimmering threads across the sky. A colossal golden crocodile collapsed, its massive form transforming into that of a middle-aged man, panting heavily.

Above, six enormous golden wings unfurled behind Qian Renxue. A radiant golden halo erupted from within her body, drawing the shattered golden threads back into her wings like rivers flowing into the sea, condensing into solid energy.

Hovering in midair, Qian Renxue closed her eyes, her hands clasped together in prayer. Her divine aura further enhanced her already noble presence, giving her an air of supremacy.

Qian Daoliu stood silently at a distance, watching his granddaughter replace the sun's light as she floated in the sky. Satisfaction gleamed in his eyes.

Qian Renxue opened her eyes. Her pupils had turned completely golden, and a strange golden flame-like pattern pulsed faintly on her forehead.

Around her lay the unconscious bodies of Spirit Hall's venerable elders.

"Grandfather, I've completed the fifth trial. My Angel Affinity has increased to fifty percent."

Qian Daoliu smiled. "I never imagined you could defeat your second uncle. Even though he broke through to Limit Douluo, he still lost.

The next trial is the sixth. Originally, the sixth trial required enduring my attacks for the duration of an incense stick's burn. Now, it requires enduring the combined attacks of all of Spirit Hall's elders for the same duration.

It will be difficult. But remember, this is only the sixth trial. The final three trials will be even harder. You must mentally prepare yourself."

Jiang Mo Douluo: "What?! Big Brother is coming too? We couldn't even beat Miss when we fought her one-on-one. And now you expect us old fools to fight her together?

Even if she wins, what does that say about our decades of cultivation?"

Jiang Mo Douluo's words caused all the elders to nod silently in agreement.

Not long ago, Qian Renxue challenged the various Title Douluo elders of Spirit Hall. Not only did she defeat them individually, but she also single-handedly defeated them when they fought together.

Incredible. Ghost Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo were still bedridden recovering. The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul was devastating to them, even though Qian Renxue had held back.

Now, the fate of Spirit Hall's elders had shifted onto them—and they had just been defeated by Qian Renxue moments ago.

Hadn't they seen Dugu Bo and Long Zhentian lying there unconscious, terrified of being beaten again?

"Uh… this time, I'll join you. I'll take the beating alongside you," Qian Daoliu said helplessly. Since Qian Renxue had exceeded expectations during the fourth trial, the Angel God Trials not only doubled her affinity but also rewarded her with a three-level increase in soul power. Qian Renxue had directly reached Level 97.

Currently, aside from Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, and Golden Crocodile Douluo, there were no other Super Douluos at Level 98 within Spirit Hall.

At Level 97, there were Qing Luan Douluo, Lion Douluo, and Dugu Bo. But these three were utterly crushed by Qian Renxue. Dugu Bo managed to last a hundred rounds, while Lion Douluo was instantly defeated.

Since reaching Level 97, Qian Renxue had wreaked havoc on Spirit Hall's elders. Combat was the best way to hone her strength, so these venerable elders were left bruised and battered.

There was nothing they could do. Trials left no room for sentimentality. For the sake of Qian Renxue's ascension to godhood, the elders accepted their fates.

And now, they were expected to fight her together? Victory would bring no honor, and defeat would strip them of their dignity. Was it any wonder they complained? Hadn't they just witnessed Golden Crocodile Douluo, who had recently broken through to Limit Douluo, being defeated by Qian Renxue?

Though her tactics were clever—she had used ranged kiting to harass Golden Crocodile Douluo, then drained his soul power using her domain until he was exhausted—the battle had dragged on.

Golden Crocodile Douluo possessed a Resonance Core, granting him incredible endurance, which prolonged the fight.

Qian Renxue glanced at the pitiful state of the elders and chuckled. "Let's rest for a few days. The grandfathers' morale might not be great. These high-pressure battles have given me a sense of breakthrough, so I'm going to enter seclusion."

With that, Qian Renxue left. She didn't want to stay—having just beaten the elders into submission, lingering would be awkward. Leaving was the best option.

Pope's Hall

[The Ninth Trial of the Rakshasa Nine Trials has been unlocked! Upon completing the ninth trial, Bibi Dong will ascend as the Rakshasa God!]

Bibi Dong emerged from a black door, her aura deepening once more. Just one trial remained before she would complete her ascension and become a true deity.

However, Bibi Dong chose to wait a little longer. Her eldest grandson was about to undergo his first soul ring hunt. Having just turned six, he had awakened the Six-Winged Angel martial soul. Bibi Dong planned to personally guide him in hunting his first soul ring.

Ah, the love of grandparents! Confirmed. While Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel was met with disdain, Li Chengqian's Six-Winged Angel received personal assistance. Qian Renxue's molars were grinding again.
