Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler
chapter-167

--- Chapter 167 ---

In God of Angels Trials, Yunlong slowly assisted Qian Renxue to finish her first trial, which reached the 690th steps of Heaven's Stairs.

They reached the 69th step after moving together for a few minutes, but Qian Renxue suddenly stopped.

"Yunlong, can we prepare ourselves a little." Qian Renxue asked while looking at the following two steps, which were where she failed.

"Mm, sure." Yunlong nodded his head, and they slightly adjusted their breathing, which is still natural for a few reasons.

Yunlong released a small breath and sensed a bit of spirit pressure from Heaven's Stairs actually entered into his body, which condensed his spirit energy little by little.

'If this continues, I might reach the next rank in a few days.' Yunlong confidently thought while slowly moving his gaze to Qian Renxue, who also felt the same.

They stayed on the 69th steps for a couple of minutes, and Qian Renxue was finally comfortable to take another few steps forward.

"Let's go." Qian Renxue grasped Yunlong's hand and firmly took another step, which surprisingly didn't affect them.

Qian Renxue was really surprised because when she tried this for the first time, she couldn't even steadily stand like this, which made her wonder for a second.

'I see... That's why.' Qian Renxue finally realized she must familiarise herself with the atmosphere around her, which she didn't do back then.

Without further ado, Qian Renxue heightened her senses and tried to sense the pressure around her instead of fighting back, letting them enter her body slowly.

"Yunlong, we can do this." Qian Renxue pumped her fist with a fiery fighting spirit, which caused Yunlong to chuckle a little because she looks adorable.

"By the way, Renxue. Does the first trial have a time limit?" Yunlong suddenly asked, which made Qian Renxue awkwardly quiet.

Yunlong didn't believe the angel god in the slightest because he knew that woman might be planning something behind his back, which is why he's always cautious.

'I just need more power...' Yunlong thought while looking at Qian Renxue's face.

Qian Renxue slightly lowered her head down and quietly answered, "...Two months, I need to finish the first trial in two months."

Yunlong's expression solidified for a moment, and he released a cold chuckle because that damn angel god really wants to make him laugh.

'Since you want to play it this way, don't blame me for cheating...' Yunlong commented with a smile on his face, which caused Qian Renxue to look at him nervously.

If Qian Renxue does the first trial on her own, she probably will fail because even Tang San had a rough time reaching the 333 steps in the original story.

"Renxue, eat this pill." Yunlong suddenly took out a golden pill from his inventory, and Qian Renxue hurriedly nodded her head.

Qian Renxue plunged her mouth toward Yunlong's finger and ate the golden pill, which instantly caused her body to become somewhat warm.

"What's this pill?" Qian Renxue asked with a flushed look.

"It was a body tempering pill, but I made it with a few extra ingredients, which made one's body adapt faster in a constrained situation." Yunlong casually answered while shrugging his shoulders.

Yunlong suddenly created a golden spear from his handkerchief and tightly grasped it like he wanted to throw it.

"What are you doing..?" Qian Renxue tilted her head in confusion.

"We'll go through this trial as fast as we can," Yunlong replied while violently throwing the golden spear away.

BAM!

The spear flew like a golden flash and pierced the 123 steps of Heaven's Stairs, which caused the angel god to frown.

"What's he doing?" The angel god, who had observed them with full-grown curiosity, wondered what he's going to do.

Yunlong turned around like he knew that she was observing him from the beginning and smirked a little.

"Ehh?" The angel god was surprised because Yunlong shouldn't be able to sense her presence.

Yunlong used his teleportation skill, and they disappeared from the angel god's view. "H-He used teleportation." She said with a bewildered expression.

"Ugh... My body." Qian Renxue felt her entire body burning, and she couldn't even breathe properly because the 123 steps' pressure is heavier.

Yunlong gently tapped Qian Renxue's back to soothe her body and calmly instructed, "Renxue, accept the pressure slowly into your body, do not fight back."

"Feel the atmosphere around you... Absorb every bit of spirit energy little by little." He continued while also adjusting his breathing.

Qian Renxue immediately sat cross-legged and did what Yunlong had instructed step by step, which was surprisingly effective because she finally could feel a little comfortable.

"Slowly..." Qian Renxue mumbled while absorbing spirit energy around her.

Qian Renxue was slowly tempering her body using the heavy pressure, and she also absorbed the spirit energy around, which condensed her spirit energy even further.

Yunlong pulled his hand away and nodded his head in satisfaction because Qian Renxue had finally calmed down.

"Let's do it again." Yunlong slightly stretched his hand and grasped the golden spear.

Even though Yunlong also felt the same amount of pressure as Qian Renxue, it was nothing compared to when he fought Tang Hao.

Yunlong pulled the spear from the ground and rotated his body a little. "...20 percent." He once again threw the spear away.

BOOM!

A powerful shockwave occurred because of his powerful throw, and the golden spear flew even faster than before, which quickly reached the 300 steps of Heaven's Stairs.

However, the golden spear surprisingly didn't stop and arrived at the 333 steps.

This scene caused Qian Daoliu's eyes to widen because it seemed that he had really underestimated Yunlong's strength.

"He's only 12 years old..." Qian Daoliu whispered while frowning a little.

Meanwhile, the angel god was also surprised by this ridiculous scene because Yunlong's strength surpassed her expectation.

"But... How? How could such a young mortal obtain such a power?" The angel god wondered with gleaming eyes.

Qian Renxue gradually opened her eyes and saw Yunlong handed his hand to her, which caused her to smile.

"Are you ready?" Yunlong asked.

"Mhm." Qian Renxue responded with a nod.

They teleported themselves toward the 333 steps and sensed something was weird.

"The pressure is stronger, but I can handle this, but..." Qian Renxue slightly clenched her fist.

"Something is weird?" Yunlong continued her words.

The angel god smiled when looking at Yunlong's doubtful face and saw both of them quietly stood without moving a single bit.

"Well, he may be able to cheat his way to 333 steps, but unfortunately, the actual test started there." The angel god commented.

Yunlong felt his head really light for a moment and noticed the scenery around him changing, which caused him to frown a little.

"I'm sorry..." A calm man's voice suddenly entered his ears.

"You... There is no way?!" Yunlong recognized this voice and hurriedly turned around, seeing a familiar-looking man who killed him in his second life.

"Uchiha Itachi."
