Lin Li and Director Su discussed more of their arrangements, with Lin Li telling him not to worry.
Afterward, the two of them walked toward the edge of the forest.
However, on the way out, Lin Li suddenly felt his Martial Soul acting strangely for some reason.
He felt an impulse to summon his Martial Soul.
Lin Li asked Director Su about this, but the latter wasn’t sure why; he had never encountered such a situation.
“Does your Martial Soul have any other reactions?”
Lin Li felt it for a moment, then pointed in the direction they had come from and said, “It seems to have some kind of sensing toward that direction…
a feeling I can’t describe.
I haven’t encountered this in all my time practicing.”
Shifting the perspective, following the direction Lin Li pointed, a group of three stood together.
All three were covered in large black robes.
Two were in the back, while the person in front had just finished absorbing their fourth Soul Ring.
Judging from the Martial Soul she hadn’t yet retracted, it was none other than the holy and noble Six-winged Angel.
“Strange…”
“What’s wrong, Young Master?
Did something unexpected happen while absorbing the Soul Ring?”
This person was indeed the Young Master of Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue, who was carrying out the plan to usurp the Heaven Dou Empire.
At this time, her cultivation had reached the level 40 bottleneck, so she had come to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a Soul Ring.
“I’m not sure either.
This is the first time my Six-winged Angel Martial Soul has acted like this; it seems to be guiding me toward something.”
Snake Lance took a step forward and circulated his Soul Power to probe Qian Renxue’s internal condition.
Finding no issues, he could only ask her, “Young Master, do you have any other feelings?”
“Other feelings…”
Qian Renxue paused, then described her feelings in detail.
After hearing this, Snake Lance and Porcupinefish looked at each other, both seeing the shock in the other’s eyes.
This description was undoubtedly Martial Soul Resonance!
Having Martial Soul Resonance meant there was a certain chance of completing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
The more powerful the Martial Souls and the higher their compatibility, the stronger the resonance would be.
Both Titled Douluo, Snake Lance and Porcupinefish, released their Spiritual Power to probe the surroundings, but they didn’t find anyone.
If it exceeded the mental probe of a Titled Douluo, then how high must the compatibility be?
Furthermore, it was a Martial Soul Resonance with the God-level Martial Soul, the Six-winged Angel.
When did a new God-level Martial Soul appear on the continent?
Seeing the two of them exchanging looks without speaking, Qian Renxue’s beautiful brow furrowed.
“Uncles, did you think of something?”
Snake Lance and Porcupinefish looked at each other and told Qian Renxue their suspicion.
“Martial Soul Resonance…
interesting.”
Maintaining her Martial Soul Possession mode, Qian Renxue flapped her wings and flew toward the direction she sensed.
The distance of Martial Soul Resonance between God-level Martial Souls exceeded the three’s imagination.
On the other side, Lin Li couldn’t stop his instinct and summoned his Martial Soul.
After failing to get Director Su to leave, he chose to stay and wait.
Because Lin Li already felt that the thing he was sensing was approaching him.
Before long, a strong but soft light emanated from the forest, followed by an unfamiliar figure in a black robe appearing in sight.
Their attire and face couldn’t be clearly seen, but judging by the Six-winged Angel behind them and the four Soul Rings at their feet, Lin Li guessed the visitor’s identity.
The antagonist from the original work, Qian Renxue, who was shrewd during her infiltration but acted foolishly once it ended.
In this timeline, Qian Renxue should be here to obtain a Soul Ring, but why would she come to him?
“Your Excellency, who are you?”
Lin Li feigned ignorance and asked for the person’s identity.
He knew that if Qian Renxue was here, there would be at least one Titled Douluo in the shadows; he just didn’t know if it was Porcupinefish Douluo or Snake Lance Douluo.
Qian Renxue didn’t speak.
Her pure white wings flapped, and angel feathers drifted around.
Her gaze sized up Lin Li, or more accurately, the Martial Soul behind him.
Strong, tall, and looking incredibly powerful, but its image was very strange.
It had wings like her Six-winged Angel Martial Soul, but…
why were the wings growing where the eyes should be?
Question marks appeared in Qian Renxue’s mind; she had never seen a Martial Soul with such an appearance.
“If Your Excellency has no business, this junior will take his leave first.
There are things to attend to at home…”
Lin Li signaled Director Su with his eyes to leave first, but the latter either didn’t understand or chose to stand in front of Lin Li instead.
“What is your Martial Soul called?”
Qian Renxue spoke.
Her voice was pleasant, but it had a sense of keeping others at a distance.
Was it because of the Martial Soul’s holy attribute?
“Mahoraga.”
After answering, Lin Li waited for what would follow.
No matter how foolish he was, he had guessed it by now; this was clearly a Martial Soul Resonance between him and Qian Renxue!
But according to the original plot, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing only had Martial Soul Resonance when they were within sight of each other.
The current situation was completely different.
Is it because the Martial Soul quality is too high?
Lin Li felt some regret for not studying theoretical knowledge seriously, leaving him to mostly guess.
“You may leave.”
Qian Renxue spoke, “Remember, you didn’t see me today.”
“Understood!”
Lin Li felt as if he had been granted a grand pardon and immediately pulled Director Su to leave quickly.
Shortly after the two left, Porcupinefish and Snake Lance revealed themselves.
Snake Lance asked Qian Renxue in confusion:
“Young Master, was that the person who produced the Martial Soul Resonance with you? Find the original chapter at g.com.
Why not detain him?”
“It should be him; the feeling wasn’t wrong.”
Qian Renxue retracted her Martial Soul, and that feeling immediately faded significantly.
“Investigate when we get back.
Someone with the Mahoraga Martial Soul…
they should have awakened their Martial Soul in the last few years.”
“But…” Snake Lance hesitated and spoke under Qian Renxue’s gaze, “Martial Soul awakenings are under the jurisdiction of the The Pope’s Palace.
If we want to check, we need to request permission from Her Holiness the Pope…”
“Then go.
Spirit Hall belongs to the Qian family.”
Qian Renxue’s tone was firm, and she immediately set off.
Snake Lance and Porcupinefish looked at each other, feeling somewhat helpless.
If possible, they really didn’t want to face the Pope, especially since her temper had become increasingly eccentric over the years.
…
Outside the Star Dou Great Forest.
After Lin Li and Director Su left, they found a tavern to rest, both still somewhat shaken.
Director Su truly felt like he had walked through the gates of hell.
After all, he didn’t know the other party’s identity, and seeing them hiding their face, he thought they were up to no good.
Don’t assume the Six-winged Angel Martial Soul is known to everyone; after all, there are very few people with this Martial Soul, and they don’t often show themselves in public.
The current Pope was still Bibi Dong, who had a grudge against the angels.
This led many ignorant people to only know of the Angel God but not the Six-winged Angel Martial Soul.
Some, being in remote areas, didn’t even know that the Angel God was the faith of Spirit Hall.
Although Lin Li knew Qian Renxue’s identity, he didn’t quite trust her either.
The people of Spirit Hall didn’t seem very bright in the original work—they were either ungrateful or lovestruck.
“Alright, Director Su, there’s no need for you to see me off.
The way back isn’t on the way to Heaven Dou City.”
Lin Li took a sip of tea and said to Director Su.
“Ah, Xiao Li.”
Director Su hesitated, then bid farewell, “Be careful of danger on the road.
If you’re tired, come back to Notting City.
Although our place is small and remote, one can still live comfortably.”
Young people are accustomed to seeking fame and fortune, loving powerful strength and distant scenery.
Director Su didn’t oppose Lin Li going out to gain experience.
“Alright, you take care of yourself too.”
Lin Li bowed and then left directly.
It wasn’t even noon yet, so he could catch the caravan heading to Heaven Dou City.
