Chapter 210: 206. Gift
On the summit of the central hill in Spirit City.
Inside the Worship Hall.
Qian Renjue had been inside for a long time, showing no signs of coming out.
At this moment, the Worship Hall was unusually lively.
It was quite bustling.
The normally secluded elders, usually in closed-door cultivation, were standing in various postures.
Some were leaning against pillars, others sitting on the floor.
But without exception, all their eyes were fixed on the two figures floating in the air.
One black, one blue.
"Be careful, Xiao Jue."
Glowing Feather Douluo, who looked like a young man, spread his ice wings, hovering in the air.
His left eye seemed to be covered with ice and snow, reflecting a sharp gaze.
His left arm had an ice-like form, holding a longbow adorned with Blue feathers, aimed at the six-winged black figure opposite him.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Unstoppable Assault!"
As Glowing Feather Douluo finished speaking, a burst of white light flashed from his longbow.
A gleaming arrow, exuding cold air, seemed to traverse space in an instant.
It locked onto the target, closing in swiftly!
"Domain, expand!"
"Fifth Soul Skill, Eternal Night Curtain!"
The six-winged, silver-haired figure with blood-red eyes suddenly erupted with a dark light.
In an instant.
The Fallen Angel Domain enveloped the entire sky.
A black water cube formed within, surrounding Qian Renjue.
Thud!
The invisible arrow struck.
Its power was diminished by the Fallen Angel Domain, and its speed was hindered by the frost in the air.
Yet it still pierced through the Eternal Night Curtain.
Swish!
Qian Renjue's thoughts flickered.
His second soul ring flashed, and dozens of ghostly chains shot from his back.
Jet-black, with blade-like tips.
They quickly intertwined, clashing with Glowing Feather Douluo's fifth soul skill.
The sixth soul ring beneath Qian Renjue's feet kept shining.
Demon Eye!
The surroundings of Glowing Feather Douluo seemed to plunge into darkness, filled with countless demon eyes.
"Haha."
"Xiao Jue, it seems you haven't been slacking off lately."
Glowing Feather Douluo teased with a smile.
With his level 96 strength, Qian Renjue's mental attacks were far from enough.
"I've never been lazy."
Although the two were locked in fierce combat in the air, their conversation, oddly enough, came from the ground.
On the ground stood Qian Renjue and Glowing Feather Douluo, both with their eyes closed, facing each other.
Both wore bracelets glowing red on their right wrists.
The figures battling in the sky were the result of the bracelets' function.
These were the True Battle Bracelets that Qian Renjue had gifted to the elders to pass the time.
They were something Qian Renjue had obtained by chance.
Through these bracelets, one could spar without shedding blood.
"Hehe."
Glowing Feather Douluo chuckled.
"Xiao Jue, your battle experience is still far behind Xiao Xue's."
"Of course, but my cultivation level is catching up to Sister."
Qian Renjue pouted. What else could he say?
Then, his expression changed slightly, and he exclaimed in surprise:
" Grandpa Feather, are you trying to kill me?!"
"Haha, I've won! Xiao Jue, you'd better honor the bet and bring me something fun next time."
High in the sky, as Qian Renjue's face changed color, Glowing Feather Douluo's eighth soul ring suddenly lit up.
In an instant, the air froze, and countless starlike arrows gathered throughout the hall.
Qian Renjue had no time to speak further.
The sky filled with arrows rushed towards him.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Cursed Wings!"
With a low shout, six streams of dark light turned into shields behind Qian Renjue.
Each shattered shield triggered a curse.
Reducing pain by 5% while increasing all attributes by 5%.
There was also some healing feedback.
His second and first soul rings lit up.
The ghostly chains shot out like serpents, firing dark beams from their blade-like tips.
Qian Renjue wielded the Demon Sword.
His blood-red eyes filled with killing intent as the six shields shattered.
The figure in the sky was instantly torn apart and scattered.
On the ground, Qian Renjue opened his eyes, feeling disgruntled.
"Grandpa Feather, you cheated."
The playful Glowing Feather Douluo immediately retorted.
"I didn't cheat. I said I wouldn't use the seventh soul skill, but I didn't mention the others."
"If you don't believe me, you can ask the others."
"Haha."
Mighty Lion Douluo burst out laughing.
"Xiao Jue, Feather really did say that."
Qian Renjue helplessly took off the bracelet.
"With Grandpa Feather fully using his eighth soul skill, how could I last even a moment?"
"Haha, Xiao Jue, you're already very impressive."
Golden Crocodile Douluo smiled, praising him.
"Feather is just like that. It's a good lesson for you—never let your guard down."
"Exactly, exactly."
Glowing Feather Douluo leaped over and patted Qian Renjue's shoulder.
"I just want a little fun."
"If you meet someone outside, though, they'll be aiming for your life."
"…"
Qian Renjue forced a smile.
He wouldn't be easily tricked outside, but at home, he could relax a little.
"Alright, everyone, calm down."
Sitting cross-legged, Qian Daoliu spoke, and the entire hall fell silent.
"Grandpa."
Qian Renjue slightly bowed to Qian Daoliu.
"Mm."
Qian Daoliu nodded with a satisfied smile, his golden eyes filled with approval.
At fifteen years old, already a level 67 Soul Emperor.
With a little more luck, reaching Soul Sage at sixteen wasn't impossible.
"Xiao Jue, come here."
"This is a gift we elders have prepared for you and your sister."
Qian Daoliu kindly gestured.
From who knows where, he took out two storage soul devices.
"They contain some soul bones, herbs, and soul devices."
"Soul bones?!"
Qian Renjue stepped forward, his outstretched hand freezing.
"Grandpa, isn't this too valuable? Won't the other elders…"
Azure Luan Douluo shook his head, explaining:
"Xiao Jue, this has nothing to do with them."
"These are our personal collections. They've been unused for years—how could they be considered too valuable?"
"Third Brother is right."
Jiang Mo Douluo chimed in.
"Xiao Jue, just accept them. They're not as interesting as your bracelets anyway."
Glowing Feather Douluo floated in the air, ruffling Qian Renjue's golden hair.
"??"
Qian Renjue's mouth twitched.
"Haha, just take them, Xiao Jue."
Qian Daoliu placed them in Qian Renjue's hands, reminding him:
"One of the soul bones inside is from a 60,000-year-old soul beast, and it suits you. Whether to absorb it is up to you."
"Yes, I understand, Grandpa."
Qian Renjue nodded earnestly.
He turned and thanked the other elders: "Thank you for your gifts, Grandpas."
"Xiao Jue, keep working hard, and one day lead us old fellows to sweep the continent!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes shone with expectation.
Qian Renjue promised:
"Don't worry, Grandpas. I'll work hard, and then we'll fight side by side."
"Haha, yes! Fight side by side!"
Mighty Lion Douluo's booming laughter echoed through the hall.
As the old brothers around him became fired up, Qian Daoliu's eyes dimmed with melancholy.
By then, would Xiao Xue have become a god?
He raised a hand to cover the golden bead on his chest, knowing he would bear witness and be the sacrifice
