Because in the secret realm there was nothing except cultivating, Qian Renyue brought Dugu Yan and went on a shopping frenzy in Heaven Dou City. Since soul tools could preserve freshness and store goods, Qian Renyue and Dugu Yan stocked up a large amount of delicious food. Aside from a small portion of fresh meat, everything else was basically ready-to-eat once taken out.
As the saying goes, shopping is the best way for women to vent after heartbreak. After three days of massive purchasing, the soul tools of both Dugu Yan and Qian Renyue were filled to the brim. Dugu Yan, who had been slightly dispirited earlier, had also regained her vitality.
During these past few days, Qian Renyue also received the compensation payment sent by Shrek, as well as the ransom for Yu Xiaogang. Qian Renyue delivered the two hundred million gold coins to the Pope's Palace for Bibi Dong, temporarily relieving the financial pressure on Spirit Hall.
Qian Renyue couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. Shrek, who looked poor on the surface, could casually take out two hundred million gold coins—yet this amount was enough to ease the finances of the enormous Spirit Hall. Nobles truly had plenty of wool to pluck.
After learning that the Shrek group had arrived at Lanba Academy and reunited with Liu Erlong, Qian Renyue wrote to Qian Renxue, telling her to record more of the sweet daily life of the Yu Xiaogang siblings for her beautiful mother, and then, using Shrek's fraud as justification, forbade Lanba Academy from changing its name.
"Shrek, you want to step on Spirit Hall's name to become famous across the continent? Dream on. I'll make it so that the three words 'Shrek' aren't even qualified to appear in the tournament." Remembering her past-life memories, Qian Renyue sneered.
After receiving Ning Rongrong's message, the two of them quickly met with Ning Rongrong outside Heaven Dou City and set off toward the Worship Hall to continue participating in the Divine Tests.
Time always passed quickly—ten months had already gone by since the three of them entered the assessment secret realm.
Qian Renyue and Ning Rongrong had officially been taking the divine test for ten months—soon it would be a full year.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong's soul power had reached level 49, just one step away from Soul King. Dugu Yan's soul power had remained at level 50 for more than a month, but she wasn't in a hurry to hunt her soul ring.
Qian Renyue had told Dugu Yan that she didn't need to rush for her fifth ring. After the First Trial ended, she would receive a God-Bestowed Soul Ring as a reward based on her soul power level. A god-bestowed soul ring would match itself to her personal limit and give the most suitable ring and soul skill. Moreover, accumulating soul power wouldn't stop simply because she didn't obtain a ring—the foundation would only grow deeper.
As for Qian Renyue, she had already successfully obtained the Life Domain. Her soul power had also cultivated up to level 60. Originally, after undergoing the refinement of the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well, Qian Renyue's soul power had already reached level 48. After one month of cultivation in the secret realm, she reached the peak of level 49. Less than ten days after re-entering the secret realm, she reached level 50.
Afterward, led by Qian Daoliu personally into Star Dou Forest, Qian Renyue obtained her fifth soul ring—an 80,000-year one. Qian Daoliu and Qian Renyue took half a month to finally acquire it. They also visited the valley to thank the unicorn father and son who saved her and Rongrong.
After successfully obtaining the ring, Qian Renyue's soul power rose to level 52. After bidding farewell to Qian Daoliu, Qian Renyue re-entered the assessment secret realm.
"Soul power risen to level 60, Soul Emperor. Life Domain mastered. Assessment passed. Talent exceptional, willpower firm. First Trial completed. Reward: one God-Bestowed Soul Ring, five percent affinity with the God of Life."
"Big Sister, congratulations!" Ning Rongrong walked out from her cultivation, showing a sweet smile as she congratulated Qian Renyue.
"Yue-mei, congratulations. You're already a Soul Emperor this fast." Hearing the movement, Dugu Yan also walked out and offered her congratulations.
"Thank you. How are you two doing? There isn't much time left."
"I can already cultivate nine and a half days in the central zone. Next time I should be able to finish." Ning Rongrong said happily. Her progress this year had been tremendous—she was already about to step from Soul Elder into Soul King.
"I can feel it—I can already cultivate 100 hours in the central zone. But this body-refining opportunity is too precious. I want to fill up the time, I don't want to waste any of it. I still have nearly two months left." Dugu Yan was also excited. A divine test—such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—had drastically increased her progress this year. Defeating the continent's strongest beast-type attack system martial soul was now within reach.
"Big Sister, how is your Life Domain? What are its effects?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously upon hearing that Qian Renyue had mastered it.
"Life Domain: Healing effects increased by 120%, and will increase further along with my soul power and domain evolution. Soul power consumption decreased by 30%, also increasing with future domain evolution. Suppression of enemies—within the domain, all attributes of enemies are reduced by 20%, their soul power consumption increases by 20%, and their healing effects are halved, likewise increasing in restriction as my domain evolves."
"No wonder it's a god-level domain! Too heaven-defying. Add in Rongrong's support, and the two of you are literally god-tier support." Dugu Yan exclaimed.
"Great. There's still one month left—let's keep it up. I'm going to complete the Destruction Trial now."
"Jiayou!"
"Jiayou!"
The three sisters encouraged one another.
Half a month later—
"Soul power risen to level 60, Soul Emperor. Destruction Domain mastered. Assessment passed. Talent exceptional, willpower firm. First Trial completed. Reward: one God-Bestowed Soul Ring, five percent affinity with the God of Destruction."
As the voice faded, Qian Renyue slowly opened her eyes. Purple light burst forth as circles of violet ripples spread from under her feet. Qian Renyue's entire aura became mysterious and dangerous. At this moment, the tiny blue lightning surrounding the Dragon-Chant Divine Sword in Qian Renyue's hand had also turned into tiny purple lightning mixed with violet-black mist.
"Destruction Domain: Within the domain, my own speed and attack increase by 50%, attributes increase by 20%, while the opponent's overall strength is weakened by 30%. They gradually lose their five senses, their soul power is slowly eroded by destructive energy, and their soul power consumption accelerates. The drawback is that it doesn't differentiate between friend or foe. It can only boost me—everyone else will be weakened." Qian Renyue explained.
"No wonder it's a god-level domain. Both your domains are insanely strong. One focuses on support—perfect for your first martial soul. The other focuses on offense—perfect for your second martial soul." Dugu Yan congratulated her again, then continued with envy, "This means your rewards for the First Trial are doubled. Just god-bestowed rings alone give you two."
"My fifth ring came from an eighty-thousand-year Flame Lion. My sixth ring will be given based on my limit. I want to challenge that rumored hundred-thousand-year level." Qian Renyue said after thinking for a long time.
Dugu Yan was shocked speechless. After a long while, she finally spoke: "Have you really decided? It's only your sixth ring. Isn't that too dangerous?"
Qian Renyue shook her head. She recalled the original story—Tang San's sixth ring had been a hundred-thousand-year ring due to Xiao Wu's sacrifice. Later, on Sea God Island, he used the god-bestowed ring to get another hundred-thousand-year seventh ring. If she didn't take risks, even one small difference would grow wider over time. As both were inheritors of divine tests—and she was the chosen successor of a God King—she could not lose to him.
Having made up her mind, Qian Renyue told Dugu Yan: "Rongrong is at the most critical moment. I won't absorb the ring here—so I won't disturb her. I'll absorb it outside. I'll leave this place to you. Pay attention to your timing. Jiayou."
Dugu Yan hugged her. "You always have your own plans. Be careful. I believe in you—you're always the one who creates miracles, aren't you? Leave this place to me. Good sister, good luck."
