With her previous experience, Dugu Yan's absorption of the hundred-thousand-year soul ring went smoothly. After a day and a night, she successfully completed the process.
When she opened her eyes, a powerful aura radiated from her. One by one, her soul rings appeared—two yellow, two purple, three black, and two red. The final red soul ring joined the other eight, circling her body in a rhythmic pattern.
Standing up, Dugu Yan retracted her martial soul, and the nine soul rings returned to her body. She had finally become a Titled Douluo, and a smile of pure joy spread across her face.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan smiled and asked, "This Sky Azure Bull Python was no weaker than the Evil Demon Orca King. In fact, with its partial Azure Dragon bloodline, it might even be stronger. You must have gained quite a bit from it."
Dugu Yan didn't hold back and replied without hesitation, "Indeed. My soul power has reached level 92. The ninth soul ring granted me two skills—one focused on control and the other on offense. This has further enriched my combat style."
Chen Yuan thought to himself that level 92 was still a long way from level 99.
Suddenly, Chen Yuan turned around and looked toward a hidden corner of the forest.
"Since you've returned, why not show yourself? There's no need to hide. It's not like we haven't met before."
At his words, there was a rustling in the trees, and Qian Renxue, Snake Spear Douluo, and Thorned Porcupine Douluo emerged from the shadows.
Qian Renxue didn't even glance at the lifeless bodies of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python. Instead, she looked at Chen Yuan and smiled, "Chen Yuan, we meet again. Your strength is as terrifying as ever."
Chen Yuan's gaze swept over Qian Renxue. Her delicate features and graceful demeanor made her look like a painting come to life. Dressed in royal attire, she exuded elegance and nobility. This was the real Qian Renxue—a woman of unparalleled beauty.
Finally, Chen Yuan's eyes settled on the small angel mark on Qian Renxue's forehead. As expected, she had also begun her Angel Nine Trials.
Chen Yuan spoke meaningfully, "It seems you've also obtained a divine trial."
Qian Renxue lifted her chin proudly. After abandoning her plan to usurp the throne, she felt she had finally reclaimed her true self. No longer burdened by living under someone else's name, and now with a divine trial, she was back on the same path as Chen Yuan—though she was still far behind.
"That's right. I've obtained the Angel Nine Trials. Our family has served the Angel God for generations. As long as a descendant shows exceptional talent, they have the chance to gain the Angel God's favor."
Chen Yuan nodded and then said directly, "After arriving here, I only saw the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python. There should have been another hundred-thousand-year soul beast, which you must have hunted."
"Her soul ring is useful to you, but I want her spirit bone. Your family has the Angel God's set, so you shouldn't need other spirit bones."
Qian Renxue's eyes flickered. Chen Yuan's knowledge of the Angel family was impressive. The Angel God's set was a closely guarded secret of their family, known to very few outsiders. Her ability to disguise herself as Xue Qinghe had relied on a piece of the Angel God's set.
"No problem. You've helped me greatly before. A single spirit bone is nothing compared to what I owe you."
As she spoke, Qian Renxue took out a spirit bone—a pink head bone. She explained, "That transformed soul beast was originally a Soft Bone Charm Rabbit. I absorbed her hundred-thousand-year soul ring, so this hundred-thousand-year Charm Head Bone is yours."
Wrapped in soul power, the Charm Head Bone floated toward Chen Yuan. He reached out and took it, thinking to himself that a hundred-thousand-year soul beast would always produce a spirit bone for a part of the body it didn't already have. Additionally, the bone's attributes would align with the soul beast's abilities.
Xiao Wu specialized in charm, so it made sense for her to produce a Charm Head Bone. In the original storyline, Tang San already had a Wisdom Head Bone, so Xiao Wu had produced a bone for a different part of the body.
After receiving the spirit bone, Chen Yuan nodded and said, "With this spirit bone, I won't trouble you today. You're free to leave or stay as you wish. However, the Spirit Hall's actions are unjust, attacking other forces without cause. One day, I will come to your doorstep, execute your pope, and expose her crimes to the world."
Qian Renxue looked at Chen Yuan's calm expression and knew he wasn't lying. Her eyes filled with determination as she replied, "The internal affairs of the Spirit Hall are ours to handle. The current pope acts without consideration, cruel and merciless. I will personally deal with her and make her atone for the innocent soul masters who have died."
Chen Yuan found this intriguing. Would Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong eventually come to a life-and-death confrontation? It was certainly something to look forward to.
He said calmly, "Is that so? Then I'll be watching."
Qian Renxue stood tall, her confidence unwavering.
"I, Qian Renxue, always keep my word."
With that, she turned and left, eager to grow stronger.
"Qianjun Douluo, Xiangmo Douluo, Snake Spear Douluo, Thorned Porcupine Douluo, let's go."
The four Titled Douluos followed Qian Renxue as she activated her martial soul. Three pairs of wings sprouted from her back, and eight soul rings rose beneath her feet—two yellow, two purple, three black, and one red.
The group of five took to the skies, flying swiftly out of the forest.
Chen Yuan watched them go before turning back to Dugu Yan. He handed her the Charm Head Bone and said, "Yanyan, with this Charm Head Bone, the Sky Azure Bull Python's torso bone, and the Titan Giant Ape's right arm bone, you now have all three missing spirit bones. Absorb them today and see how much your power improves."
Dugu Yan already had two spirit bones from the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. With the addition of the Charm Head Bone, she now had all the spirit bones she needed.
However, she was more interested in the woman who had just left. She asked with curiosity, "Who was that woman? She's stunning and also has a divine trial. Is she the successor of the Spirit Hall?"
Chen Yuan replied casually, "She introduced herself as Qian Renxue. She's the daughter of the previous pope, Qian Xunji, and the current heir of the Angel family. It seems she's also on the path to godhood."
Dugu Yan's interest waned. She had hoped for more exciting news, like whether Chen Yuan had any romantic involvement with her. After all, gossip was always about such things.
Soon, Dugu Yan began absorbing the spirit bones. Three spirit bones, all hundred-thousand-year ones, would take a considerable amount of time to fully absorb.
Meanwhile, Chen Yuan pondered his own situation. He was still missing left and right arm bones, and they needed to be at least hundred-thousand-year ones.
"It's time to explore the depths of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye. The two Dragon Kings there should each produce a spirit bone…"
