As the golden Soul Power finished descending and the glow of the Hexagram Array completely receded.
Jin Yue'er couldn't help but furrow her brows.
Under Qian Renxue's tense and expectant gaze.
A flash of gold!
Suddenly surged forth from Jin Yue'er's body!
"Is it awakening?"
Qian Daoliu's gaze lowered.
He did not retract his massive Six-Winged Angel Spirit, keeping it ready for any contingency.
Golden Crocodile Douluo's body trembled slightly.
He recalled that even when he himself broke through to the ninety-eighth rank, he hadn't been this nervous.
"Roar—!"
A beastly roar shook the air.
Jin Yue'er's tender little face seemed to imprison a ferocious beast.
When her eyes opened.
Her eye sockets revealed a pair of golden vertical pupils!
Jin Yue'er unclenched her fists.
Accompanied by a low beastly roar, a golden wheel shot out from within her!
It floated quietly behind her head.
"Excellent!"
"Yue'er has successfully awakened her Martial Soul!"
Qian Renxue was overjoyed.
Finally showing a relaxed smile, she couldn't help but cheer.
Glowing Feather Douluo examined it for a moment and said with some surprise, "Little Yue'er's Martial Soul seems somewhat different from Second Brother's?"
"It's an Advanced Martial Soul, the Golden Crocodile."
Azure Luan Douluo calmly explained, then turned to look at Golden Crocodile Douluo.
"Congratulations, Second Brother, for resolving a matter of the heart."
"Congratulations, Second Brother!"
Glowing Feather Douluo followed immediately.
Both he and Azure Luan understood that no matter what Martial Soul awakened today.
It was a joyous occasion for Jin E and his granddaughter!
"Haha... good, very good!"
Just as Azure Luan and the others had thought, Golden Crocodile Douluo was already ecstatic.
Even though Jin Yue'er hadn't awakened the Top Martial Soul Golden Crocodile King, it was more than enough to make him happy! A successful awakening was itself a success!
Moreover, through later cultivation.
The Golden Crocodile Martial Soul might still evolve into the Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul!
Seeing her grandfather's elation and hearing Qian Renxue's cheers, Jin Yue'er also wore an excited expression and couldn't help but glance back.
What met her eyes was a robust and slender golden crocodile.
Its head was streamlined with a pointed snout.
No obvious spines were visible.
Its torso was covered in even golden scales with a soft luster.
Its limbs were thick but well-proportioned.
Its claws were pale gold, and its teeth gleamed coldly.
The entire crocodile curled into a golden wheel, head to tail.
Silently floating and rotating behind Jin Yue'er.
Jin Yue'er stared at her Martial Soul, her expression dazed, her jade nose tingling.
She lifted her gaze to Qian Renxue, crying and laughing simultaneously.
"Sister Xue, Yue'er has awakened her Martial Soul!"
"I saw it all!"
Qian Renxue smiled and nodded emphatically.
"It seems her Innate Soul Power should be quite good. Let's test it to see."
Qian Daoliu smiled gently.
Retracting his Martial Soul, he held a blue crystal ball in his hand.
Bending down, he slowly presented it to Jin Yue'er.
"Mm, thank you, Great Offering Grandfather."
Jin Yue'er nodded, extending her small hand to cover the crystal ball.
Buzz—!
A slight humming sound emerged as a relatively brilliant light burst forth.
Seeing this.
All the tension in Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes dissipated.
He smiled contentedly.
"Haha... it's sufficient, it's already sufficient!"
——
Inside Wisteria Residence, the master bedroom.
The dim afterglow of the setting sun filtered through the window lattice, painting shadows on the walls.
A shadowy figure sat cross-legged, layered over a smaller, weaker shadow. A gentle breeze passed by, causing the window lattice to tremble, and the shadows quivered along with it.
Suddenly!
An excited cry pierced the tranquility enclosed by the window frame.
"Ye Tian—come out quickly!"
"Hmm?"
Ye Tian, seated at the foot of the bed, raised an eyebrow. He opened his eyes and glanced toward Bi Bi Dong, who was sitting upright in the middle of the bed.
"Go ahead."
Bi Bi Dong spoke indifferently, not bothering to open her eyes or look his way. Just from the sound of the voice, she knew it was those two children again.
"Alright, goodbye, Teacher."
Ye Tian nodded, bid farewell to Bi Bi Dong, and immediately scrambled off the bed. As he ran outside, he couldn't resist glancing out the window as he passed by. Sure enough, Jin Yue'er and Qian Renxue were already gathered in the courtyard, standing on tiptoe and eagerly looking forward.
With a click, Ye Tian dashed out of the room.
Bi Bi Dong opened her beautiful eyes and cast a glance at the scene outside the window. Yesterday, those two little girls hadn't come by, had they? She furrowed her brow slightly, then shook off the unnecessary curiosity and closed her eyes again to continue her cultivation.
In at most three more years, she would break through to the Titled Douluo realm! Only then would she have the qualifications and the ability to accomplish everything she desired—to send all those damned people to their deaths! Bi Bi Dong gritted her silver teeth, a cold and cruel smile curling at the corners of her lips.
"Little Xue, Yue'er, why didn't you come yesterday?"
In the courtyard, Ye Tian had just run down and, before even getting close, couldn't help but ask.
Qian Renxue gazed softly at Ye Tian's approach, a faint blush coloring her cheeks and a trace of melancholy in her eyes. After just two days apart, she found herself missing the person before her. What made her reveal this melancholy was the sudden realization that Ye Tian's method was indeed starting to work—but something seemed off. Side effects were already beginning to show.
Rather than wanting to see Bi Bi Dong, she actually longed more to see this fair and clean-faced fellow in front of her! What made Qian Renxue even more bashful was that she couldn't bring herself to dislike this feeling at all; instead, she was somewhat enjoying it?!
Pressing her pink lips together, Qian Renxue averted her gaze and didn't answer Ye Tian's question.
Meanwhile, Jin Yue'er clung to Qian Renxue's arm, beaming with joy as she watched Ye Tian approach. She said cheerfully, "You're so clever—why don't you take a guess?"
"Oh?" Ye Tian's eyes lit up. "You're in such a good mood today—it seems my guess is right."
"Hmm?" Hearing Ye Tian's words, Qian Renxue couldn't help but look over. Jin Yue'er also pricked up her ears.
"Yue'er, you've already awakened your Martial Soul, haven't you?" Ye Tian looked at Jin Yue'er triumphantly.
"Ah! How did you know?" Jin Yue'er exclaimed in surprise. Qian Renxue couldn't help but praise, "Ye Tian, you're as sharp as ever."
"Haha... it's nothing much." Ye Tian waved his hand dismissively; such a guess hardly warranted being called 'clever.' Smiling, he continued, "I also know that the Martial Soul Yue'er awakened should be the Golden Crocodile."
"What?! How do you know that too?!" Jin Yue'er stared at Ye Tian in shock, pointing an accusing finger at him. "Out with it! Did you sneak into the Hall of Worship to spy?!"
Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help but roll his eyes. Did he have nine lives? Even if he did, it wouldn't be enough for the big shots inside to finish him off!
Qian Renxue, much calmer than Jin Yue'er, directly began to question him.
"How did you know, Ye Tian, that Yue'er awakened the Golden Crocodile Martial Soul?"
"It's quite simple."
Ye Tian spread his hands and explained:
"Yue'er has always been frail and sickly. Even with the nourishment of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, her physique hasn't reached the point of surpassing her peers. It's highly unlikely she could awaken a top-tier Martial Soul."
