Seeing his granddaughter's persistence, Qian Daoliu no longer discouraged her enthusiasm. Moreover, this assessment was indeed a test of his granddaughter's practical combat ability, so more attempts would certainly not be wrong. He nodded and beckoned to the little angel:
"Come on, Xue'er."
"Okay."
Seeing her grandfather assume a stance, the little angel instantly released her Martial Soul, and eight black soul rings rose in sequence.
At this moment, she intended to launch the first attack. Facing her grandfather, a Limit Douluo, she didn't think relying on defense would give her a chance of winning. So, she directly activated her Spirit Avatar and charged towards Qian Daoliu, who had not yet entered his Spirit Avatar state.
"First Soul Skill: Angel Charge, Fifth Soul Skill: Sword of Divinity."
The little angel, who had quickly closed the distance with Angel Charge, relied on a long sword condensed from the Divine Flame attached to her Martial Soul and fiercely swung it towards Qian Daoliu.
Qian Daoliu had no intention of dodging at all. With a smile in his eyes, he expressed his appreciation for his granddaughter's decision to take the initiative.
But a Limit Douluo was a Limit Douluo. A golden light surged in the old man's right hand, and he directly received the little angel's full-power strike with his bare hands. The Sword of Divinity could no longer advance an inch.
Even so, not a hint of disappointment showed in the little angel's eyes. The three pairs of wings behind her instantly spread out, and six golden light clusters condensed on each wing.
"Holy Light Spiraling Sphere."
This move was also learned from Ning Bei. After combining it with her Martial Soul, the little angel was able to directly shoot out the Holy Light Spiraling Sphere, giving it extremely strong destructive power and explosive ability under rapid rotation.
Qian Daoliu was slightly surprised by this. He had never seen his granddaughter use this move before, and it was clearly not any of the soul skills from the little angel's eight soul rings.
"Self-Created Spirit Ability?"
The question and the explosion sounded at the same time. The loud noise from within the Worship Hall also startled the other worshipers, who rushed over and saw the grandfather and granddaughter already engaged in battle.
"It seems Xue'er is very confident."
"This has nothing to do with confidence. Since the God Test has issued an assessment, she must try it. It's not good to just work behind closed doors. Xue'er did nothing wrong."
After the aftermath of the six Holy Light Spiraling Spheres disappeared, Qian Daoliu reappeared in everyone's sight. At this time, the old man had entered his Spirit Avatar state and was shimmering with golden light all over. Clearly, he had used this move to block the little angel's attack just now.
"Xue'er can even use Self-Created Spirit Abilities now? When did you complete it?"
"No, Grandpa, this is a soul skill A'Bei taught me. I just slightly improved it to make it more suitable for me."
"So that's how it is."
Hearing that it was taught by Ning Bei, Qian Daoliu was no longer surprised. He wouldn't find anything strange happening to that kid.
"The power is indeed good, but this alone is not enough to help you complete the assessment."
In fact, Qian Renxue had no intention of relaxing. After the surprise attack, it was now Qian Daoliu's turn.
Golden light flashed where the old man stood, and the next second he disappeared from his original spot and appeared beside the little angel.
"Xue'er, the Sword of Divinity is used like this."
Compared to Qian Renxue, who condensed the Divine Flame into a sword shape and held it in her hand to attack, Qian Daoliu directly attached the Divine Flame to his arm and used his arm as a sword to slash at his granddaughter.
This made the little angel's eyes light up, but she also felt immense pressure. Now was not the time to apply what she had learned and try things randomly.
"Third Soul Skill: Angel's Protection."
An arc-shaped golden light blocked the little angel's path. The next second, Qian Daoliu's Sword of Divinity slashed onto the light shield, causing ripples of golden light to spread out, like a stone thrown into a calm lake. Qian Daoliu, who intended to properly train his granddaughter's practical combat ability, showed no mercy. The flaming divine sword directly split open the little angel's defense, and the next second his hand blade stopped before her fair, delicate neck.
After a moment of stunned silence, the little angel sighed softly.
"I lost, Grandpa."
Withdrawing his Martial Soul, Qian Daoliu smiled and stroked the white beard on his chin.
"Mm, soul skills are dead, but people are alive. You used those light spheres quite well, but that's not enough. Your soul skills still have great potential. You need to try to use them flexibly."
"Don't be discouraged either. After all, Grandpa has lived for nearly a hundred years longer than you."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue's lips curved into a faint smile.
"Don't worry, Grandpa, I won't be easily defeated. Otherwise, how can I stand by his side?"
Seeing that his granddaughter was not discouraged, Qian Daoliu felt relieved.
"Mm, it's good that you understand. Go back and summarize the battle process properly. Grandpa looks forward to your next challenge."
"Okay."
Seeing that the grandfather and granddaughter had finished their battle, the worshipers instantly surrounded the little angel and began offering her ideas on how to deal with Qian Daoliu's moves. The little angel showed no impatience and humbly sought advice from the elders. After all, they were old brothers who had been together for a hundred years, so they definitely understood her grandfather's fighting style and strength better.
A few days later, a woman with silver hair cascading like a waterfall down to her ankles slowly walked into the city gate of Seven Treasure City, accompanied by a handsome young man. It was Ning Bei and the Silver Dragon King Gu Yue, who had rushed back after a long journey.
The combination of the handsome man and beautiful woman attracted the attention of countless passing merchants and travelers. Both men and women felt a sense of inferiority.
Ning Bei, who was already outstanding in appearance and ethereal in temperament, was now accompanied by Gu Yue, who was like a celestial being, undoubtedly becoming a beautiful sight in Seven Treasure City.
Along the way, Gu Yue kept observing the people and things around her. Although her pretty face remained calm, the curiosity in her eyes betrayed her.
"It's getting late. Let's go back and say hello first. If you're interested, A'Yue, I'll take you around Seven Treasure City tomorrow."
"Okay."
Gu Yue nodded without any objection. Anyway, being unfamiliar with the continent, she had already decided to let Ning Bei arrange everything. Moreover, she really wanted to see why humans, who only had a lifespan of a few decades, could live so happily.
Putting herself in their shoes, if she knew her life only had a little over ten years left, she might be so anxious that she couldn't sit still.
Following Ning Bei to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the guards were all old acquaintances and offered no obstruction. However, this did not affect the gatekeeping disciples from staring at Gu Yue. Ning Bei, who was already used to people's gazes along the way, didn't pay attention, but when the two walked away, the gatekeeping disciples' quiet whispers almost made him stumble and fall to the ground.
"Hey, the second young master brought a young madam home again. This time it's a new face."
"Yeah, the young madams are more beautiful than the last. This one is like a fairy."
With their cultivation levels, how could such a conversation escape their ears? Ning Bei turned back and glared fiercely at the two gossiping disciples. The two instantly tensed up and shut their mouths, a fawning smile appearing on their faces.
Ning Bei sighed and looked at Gu Yue beside him again.
"A'Yue, the sect disciples have loose tongues. You don't need to mind them."
