"Hmm?" My eyes went to my blonde fiance. There was quite a reaction from her as purifying golden energy exploded from her.
'Second awakening? Most likely… or evolution?' I thought for a second as I saw that the amount of wings she has is now 8…
Four pairs in total….this was quite big… as far I know Seraphim Martial Spirit is 6 wings which is the amount the original God of Angel has.
So… does wing number dictate the purity of her power or sheer volume and the future potential?
Curious…
"L-Long! My martial spirit… it evolved!!! Unbelievable!" She squeaked out from sheer disbelief.
"This…never happened before! Like never! My family spirit is special! It's given to us by the God of Angel. And now it evolved! Do you know how big this is!?" As she said that her happy voice just got bigger and bigger. Before she could not even control her smile anymore.
A moment late she got up on her feet and her 8 wings sprouted from her back. The radiance of her was even more intense.
"Have you thought of a name for it? Now that I had evolved it's not Seraphim anymore." I asked her instead.
For a few moments, she deadpanned at me.
"Something incredible happened and you asking for names?"
To her words, I only shrugged at her.
"You been exposed to Heaven and Earth Energies and consumed an Immortal Herb. It would be surprising if nothing of similar didn't happen to your Martial Spirit."
Now she frowned at me for a bit.
"And yours? Why it didn't evolve yet?"
"It didn't reach that point yet. The pressure limit it's quite high for it to happen."
'Plus it's a half of THE Dragon God. If it evolves it will break the balance between Silver Dragon King and me. If it does happen, it will be fascinating.' I thought about it internally. This was something akin to branching out from the pre-set path. Something any cultivator should do in the first place. But someone like Gu Yue…that girl would embrace this path because it will lead her to inherit God's position…
So weak…
"I see… SO… let's spar?" She asked with a grin on her face.
"Oh? Feeling confident?" I asked her while standing up on my feet.
"...Not quite. I want to test myself against immovable force." She said that while summoning her spirit rings. I could see gold particles surrounding her spirit rings. This reminds me of how my spirit rings were. If my guess is right her Martial Spirit is not weaker than mine now.
Her fifth ring glowed and her holy sword manifested in her hands. It looked like an upgraded version of the previous one.
More detailed weapon and there was certain pressure there.
The blonde angel girl took the Blue Dragon style which she favours over.
"Well? Not going to summon your sword?" She asked with raised eyebrow.
"...Do I look that carry one with me all the time?" I asked with raised eyebrow.
"...You… fine… then I won't going to use mine!"
With a huff, she cancelled her fifth spirit ring ability and instead took Tai-Chi stance. A ghostly image of Yin and Yang appeared behind her.
I shrugged at her and took Boundless Fist style. It's my fiance's thing to use dangerous styles… most likely Inherited from Bibi Dong, whose one of Martial Spirit is a Dark one.
Unlike her mind Martial Avatar took a step forwards and got its fiery and icy elements to it. I do wonder when I finish Wind core will it going to gain Earth and Wind attributes to it as well?
Well, we going to see later on…
The blonde's reaction to my upgraded Martial Avatar was a cute frown before she lunged forward with provoking fist strike.
One thing for sure is that Qian Renxue fits like a glove to be a Taoist. Proud and arrogant, with talent to back it up. This makes her perfect for the hand-to-hand combat of theirs and the sword styles. This way she picked the style very quickly… however… she lacks one thing…
I answered back to her fist with my palm. The collision made her hiss a little bit as my hands were far more robust thanks to the Earth's Core. However, she didn't stop as she went for an elbow strike which I blocked and my palm strike went for her face…
This is where she ignores my strike… because she knows I won't going to hit her in her face…
There is that smug look on her pretty face.
This is one of the annoying issues which I need to fix in her.
So, I smirked at her as my palm turned into a flick as I flicked her forehead, with some force.
*HISS*
"Ow-Ow-Ow!!!"
She quickly took several steps back while holding her forehead.
"Just because we practising it doesn't mean I won't going to hit you," I said while lowering my hand.
She looked at me with pouty lips. Before sucking it in and then lunging back at me with more fire than ever before.
This time I sighed and grabbed her fists then forced her against a tree.
"What did I say about using anger like tha—"
My mind for the second short circuit as the blonde kissed me. there was a smug look in her eyes as she caught me off guard.
However next moment she tried to knee me in the gut but she ended up with teary eyes again…
After that, the kiss lost its heat and I pulled back.
"Trying hit me while kissing? Seriously? You are one naughty girl…"
*Hmph!!!*
"I can't win against you in a normal way! so I am going to use any other means I have!" She said that with a huff there were some small tears around her eyes from that failed assault. She needs to use much more spirit energy if she wishes to harm me.
"Oh… I see…"
I 'smiled' at her. The girl instantly got an ominous feeling from the looks of it.
…
…
…
Our spar resumed as I let her go. Though my plan has shifted a little bit. The beauty of mine wants to play dirty… well then she will get what she wants.
*SMACK*
"Ow-Ow-Ow"
I smacked her ass right there.
*SMACK**SMACK*
~~~~~~Later~~~~~~
Once the 'sparing' has ended. More like Qian Renxue realised that she should not 'mess' with her fiance like this because he can get ruthless in a terrifying way.
She quickly gave up and apologised. So once that was over the pair decided to come up with a name for the martial spirit.
More like the blonde 'knew' what it was and called it Seraphiel. The Lord of all Seraphims.
The first course of action was to get to Spirit Hall now and show the spirit to her grandfather!
So, the pair rushed to the Spirit Hall. More like Xue Long grabbed her in princess carry and flew there with extremely fast speed.
While he had never been there before he knew the general location as it was a location at the border of both Empires.
After a few hours of rapid flying Xue Long saw a sprawling city. With Qian Renxue's guidance, they landed not far from the place where her grandfather and other Worships are cultivating.
Since it was a few hours after they spared the girl's forehead and soreness in her bum was gone… This means she can show herself to him…
And truly she did…
"GRANDPA!!!"
Interrupting everyone's cultivation and meditation without care in the world the girl with her prince strolled into the core parts of the Spirit Hall…
Qian Daoliu smiled for a second hearing his granddaughter's voice. With a gust of wind, he left his location and appeared in front of her.
His eyes widened to a huge level as he felt… pressure coming from her!
This pressure is pressing on him!
"Xiao Xue'er what happened!?" He asked her then saw that Xue Long was there as well!
"Hehe! Watch this grandpa!"
As she said that her wings sprouted from her back. Instead of regular six this time it was eight!
***Gasp!!!***
All the worships gasped loudly.
"Y-Your Martial Spirt—"
"It evolved!"
The blonde angel girl puffed her chest while saying that. She was now stronger than ever! She even forgot the shameful losses she had against her Fiance! Those don't count!
"How did this happen!?" He did remember seeing in his vision that his granddaughter has more than six wings. And now it's coming to fruition!
"Immortal Herbs and exposure to Heaven and Earth Energies. Those energies improve spirit origin allowing her Martial spirit to saturate and overflow with them. Eventually, it couldn't handle it anymore thus evolving. The key was her breakthrough to Spirit Douluo and the immortal herb."
"Spirit Douluo!"
"Saintess already is Spirit Douluo!" The Worships were in clear disbelief.
They just recently saw her being in Rank 78! And now she was in 80's!
"As I said Immortal Herbs." Xue Long said with a sign.
"Where did you find such herbs!?"
"That is a secret. Eventually, I will be able to share some of them with Spirit Hall. Their growth rate and the amount I can produce is limited." The Prince didn't truly explain or revealed anything substantial and Qian Renxue shut her mouth and didn't say anything more either.
Qian Daoliu could only sigh internally with a smile, the girl already taking her future husband's side…
"I see… anyway is there a reason you are here?"
The Prince looked at the angel girl next to him.
"Well… I wanted to show the Martial Spirit and same time wanted to show Long the Spirit City…" She said that with a slightly embarrassed look. All she wanted to do is to show the martial Spirit to her Grandpa… that about it…
"...in that case, you can do it tomorrow it's already late…"
"Yes… I suppose so… we rushed here right after I got my Eight ring." Qian Renxue said that while looking thoughtful.
"Yes, Xue'er we can explore the city tomorrow."
"Good. I will order some people to prepare rooms for you two."
As Qian Daoliu said that a taller older looking man next to the grandpa angel looked at Xue Long. This was the Golden Crocodile King Douluo…
"In the meantime, my Prince, why don't we spar?" Second Worship words got everyone's attention they all looked at him with a little bit of shock!
This was a Hyper Douluo! And he wants to fight Spirit Douluo!?
"Sure. I wanted to fight someone above Rank 95."
"Good! No reluctance or fear! This is very good!" The old man said with a nod. He was satisfied with what he had already seen.
"Come, follow me."
After saying that the Golden Crocodile Douluo disappeared with impressive speed.
Xue Long followed right after. The rest of Worships decided tha they do want to see this. Followed by Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue.
The blond angel girl wants to see how close he is in strength against her uncle Crocodile! After all her uncle is Rank 98 only her Grandpa is stronger than him!
She completely ignored THAT woman… in this power measurement…
~~~
In one of the bigger Spirit Arena's Second Worship appeared on one side while Xue Long on the other.
"Second Worship of Spirit Hall, Rank 98 Golden Crocodile King Titled Douluo, Attack System Spirit Master." The old man introduced himself formally, though he is using his title as a name… by this point, the Crown Prince is convinced that the old man doesn't even remember his birth name anymore…
"Xue Long, Rank 88 Dragon King Trinity Spirit Douluo, Attack/Control System Spirit Master." As the Prince introduced he gobsmacked everyone in the vicinity with his three Dragon Kings standing behind him.
"...Hahaha! I knew it! The pressure I sensed from you! Your power is not less than mine!"
As the old man said that he started to merge with his martial spirit. Becoming a humanoid Golden Crocodile.
