During this period, Lin Yu and Qian Renxue had met only a few times, and it had been almost half a year since their last meeting.
Therefore, after Lin Yu left the Inheritance Secret Realm, he eagerly went to the Hall of Offerings to find Qian Renxue immediately.
And in these one year and seven months, many things had happened on the Douluo Continent and within Spirit Hall.
Spirit Hall had secretly taken control of two affiliated kingdoms each from Star Luo and Heaven Dou. With the power and territory of these four major affiliated kingdoms, the Spirit Empire was finally established before the official war was launched.
The geniuses Lin Yu brought to Spirit Hall—Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, and Oscar—had all made astonishing progress and were now powerful core disciples of Spirit Hall.
His father, Lin Tian, had also broken through to spirit power Level 93, and his strength was still continuously improving.
As for Qian Renxue, she had already completed the first two of the Angel Nine Trials and was currently undergoing the third Angel Trial.
A moment later, Lin Yu arrived at the Hall of Offerings.
Upon entering the hall, he first encountered the two Elder Enshrinements, Qian Jun and Jiangmo. Seeing Lin Yu, the two Elders were quite surprised: "Xiao Yu, you've exited seclusion!?"
"Yes, Lin Yu greets Grandpa Qian Jun and Grandpa Jiangmo. It's been a long time," Lin Yu said with a smile, greeting them.
He had only met these Elder Enshrinements once and Qian Daoliu twice in the entire year and a half. After such a long time, they could clearly see the changes in Lin Yu's appearance.
The two brothers came before Lin Yu, both reaching out to pat his shoulders, saying, "Good kid, you're getting taller and taller."
"And your body is getting stronger!"
"Heh heh, Grandpas, I am 13 years old now, after all," Lin Yu chuckled.
"Not bad! Not bad! Have you officially exited seclusion after completing the Angel Fifth Trial?" the two asked.
"Yes, I wanted to ask if Xue'er has time now?" Lin Yu asked.
"The Young Master is undergoing the Angel Third Trial, which is very similar to your Angel Fifth Trial's Elemental Baptism. Both are trials that strengthen the body and mental force, and both require a large amount of time.
"However, the Young Master should have no problem completing the Third Trial. You can go in and find her," Qian Jun Douluo said.
"Okay, then I'll go in first."
"Let's go together."
"Mhm, mhm!"
The three of them entered the core of the Inheritance together and soon arrived at the space where Qian Renxue was undergoing the Angel Third Trial. Qian Daoliu was also there accompanying her.
"Lin Yu! You're here!"
Seeing Lin Yu arrive, Qian Renxue immediately stopped her trial and came forward with Qian Daoliu.
Lin Yu gently stroked Qian Renxue's cheek, full of affection, saying, "Xue'er, did you miss me?"
"Mhm, mhm~ Very much!"
"Me too."
The two held hands, their eyes locked, as if only their two-person World remained here, completely ignoring everyone else.
"Cough, cough! I say, you two, can you pay attention to Grandpa! I'm still here!" Qian Daoliu, seeing himself ignored, couldn't help but say with a touch of jealousy.
"Uh, haha!"
Seeing Qian Daoliu jealous, both Lin Yu and Qian Renxue couldn't help but laugh.
Subsequently, the Seven Great Enshrinements gathered. After sitting down to reminisce and chat, they began discussing serious matters.
Qian Daoliu asked, "Xiao Yu, you've been in seclusion for over a year, and your teacher hasn't asked about your current realm and strength. Now that the Fifth Trial is complete, it's time for your teacher to see your growth over this past year, isn't it?"
"Okay." Lin Yu nodded, preparing to release his power.
The Seven Great Enshrinements and Qian Renxue all looked on with anticipation, secretly guessing Lin Yu's current strength.
The next second, Lin Yu released his Element Angel Martial Soul. Beneath his feet, black, black, black, black, black, red, red—five black and two red spirit rings appeared.
"Xiao Yu's spirit rings are all at the ten-thousand-year level or above!"
"Spirit Saint Level 75, truly astonishing."
Though surprised, it was actually within their expectations.
Next, Lin Yu went all out, activating his first and second spirit rings, his external Spirit Bone, and then his Martial Soul True Body!
"Seventh Spirit Ability, Elemental True Body!!"
Boom! Boom!
Terrifying power surged wildly from Lin Yu. With the release of his Martial Soul True Body, his aura formed an incredibly terrifying presence that swept through the entire hall.
"This! What terrifying Martial Soul True Body pressure!"
"Lin Yu's current strength is probably enough to defeat a Level 94 Titled Douluo!"
Everyone was greatly shocked to see Lin Yu's Martial Soul True Body. In their opinion, this should have been Lin Yu's limit, but it was the release of his Domain power that truly stunned them.
"Elemental Domain!"
"This is! The power of a Domain!!"
"My goodness! Xiao Yu actually awakened a talent Domain!!"
"This Domain's suppressive power seems to weaken our strength by more than 30%. Xiao Yu, how much does your Domain amplify yourself and weaken enemies?" Guangling Douluo asked with a curious expression.
"Self-amplification by 40%, enemy weakening by 20%!"
"Hiss! To have such terrifying weakening and amplification effects, even the Angelic Domain only amplifies oneself by 30% and weakens enemies by 10%!"
Lin Yu said quite confidently, "With my current power, I should be able to contend with a Level 95 powerhouse."
"So amazing. I thought that after I started accepting the Angel Nine Trials, I could barely narrow the gap with Lin Yu, but now the power gap between us has not only not shortened but has widened even further."
However, with her man being so outstanding, Qian Renxue was still very happy deep down.
During this past year, Qian Renxue's strength had also greatly increased. Her spirit power reached Level 78, and her combat power could already rival a Titled Douluo around Level 93. (Logically, the Angel Nine Trials have trials similar to the Sea God's First Trial, such as climbing steps through the Seagod's Light, rapidly increasing spirit power level under pressure. Due to the needs of the subsequent plot and the previous plot not being well-managed, I am explaining here to fellow readers that Qian Renxue's level is temporarily suppressed. In fact, it's not really suppressing her level; it's just moving the trials similar to climbing through the Seagod's Light to later trials.)
And now, there was a difference of 3 levels between Lin Yu's and Qian Renxue's spirit power.
"Ah haha, it won't be long before this child Xiao Yu surpasses us old guys!"
"If we can see Xiao Yu grow up quickly, what does it matter if we are surpassed!"
The Elder Enshrinements were all very happy and didn't mind at all if Lin Yu one day became stronger than them.
Qian Renxue then asked, "Lin Yu, what is your Angel Sixth Trial?"
"Solo kill two Level 95 Titled Douluos!"
"What?"
Everyone's expressions changed slightly. Qian Daoliu pondered, "In that case, we can only target the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. After all, annihilating these two great upper sects is also part of our plan."
"Mhm, at that time, I'll ask a few of the Grandpa Enshrinements to help me create opportunities to solo kill them."
"Don't worry, leave it to us." The Elder Enshrinements were all willing to help.
