Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler
chapter-193

--- Chapter 192 ---

Yunlong naturally stood and gazed at the skies with a calm expression.

"This isn't enough..." He quietly muttered while tightly clenching his dragon claws. "I need more, more strength."

"Yunlong?" Qian Renxue softly called.

Yunlong slowly moved his gaze and stared at Qian Renxue with a slightly surprised expression.

"You're looking more angelic now, Renxue." Yunlong praised with a smile on his face.

Qian Renxue's face became somewhat red. She sheepishly stood and wore a golden dress of holy light, covering her lovely body in elegance.

"It's not fair because you also look more handsome- I mean cooler..." Qian Renxue mumbled shyly, which caused Yunlong to chuckle.

Yunlong looked at his own appearance and discovered his clothes magically had disappeared.

He literally was covered with dragon scales-like armor with his upper body slightly exposed. His forehead also had grown a pair of dragon horns, which was his external spirit bone.

(An: Yunlong in this form kind of looks like Sinbad when using Baal)

"Hmm?" Yunlong suddenly smirked. "Renxue, how do I look?"

"Y-You look good." Qian Renxue responded while swaying her head away.

"Really?" Yunlong slowly approached her, which caused Qian Renxue to pouts adorably.

Yunlong was about to tease her more, but the angel statue they received the trial before abruptly shone in golden light and sent a new task for Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue slightly frowned when she received her second trial and slowly looked at Yunlong with a complicated gaze.

"What trial did you get?" Yunlong asked because he didn't get any trial for some reason.

Well, Angel God indeed has said that climbing the heaven stairs was his first and last trial, but Yunlong is still unsure about that woman's mindset.

Qian Renxue mumbled something and released a sigh, which caused Yunlong to become somewhat curious with her second trial.

"I have to fly past a crowd of steel raptor beasts in one month's limit." Qian Renxue replied with a solemn expression.

"Only that? That should be easy. I could just-." Yunlong was about to finish his word, but Qian Renxue firmly shook her head.

"I need to finish my second trial without your help." Qian Renxue resolutely said. "I also couldn't use my spirit skills."

"If you help even a bit, I'll instantly fail." She calmly continued, which left Yunlong speechless for a moment.

'That damn god...' Yunlong's mouth quickly twitched in annoyance.

Yunlong knew Angel God planned something, but preventing him from helping Qian Renxue really annoyed him.

He planned something to bypass this trial, but Qian Renxue quickly grasped his shoulder. "I'm fine. I couldn't always depend on you. I need to become stronger too." She cheerfully smiled at him.

"Are you sure?" Yunlong furrowed his brows.

"Mhm." Qian Renxue nodded determinedly.

Yunlong released a sigh and massaged his temple slightly because he didn't really want to see Qian Renxue injured, but in the end, she really had to spread her wings.

'I should let her go, huh.' Yunlong thought while looking at Qian Renxue.

Yunlong patted Qian Renxue's head softly and asked, "When your task started?"

Caw! Caw! Caw!

As Yunlong asked his question, several bird noises suddenly rang across the skies. A massive crowd of blackbirds with steel-gleamed feathers abruptly entered their views.

"They are all above ten thousand years old..." Yunlong silently commented. "You have to pass that crowd of birds without using a single spirit skill?"

"Yes." Qian Renxue calmly answered.

Even though it seemed impossible at first glance, there should be a reason why she should finish this trial.

'Angel was always associated with the sky because of their wings.' Qian Renxue thought while unfurling her angel wings.

"Then, I should be the master of the sky."

Qian Renxue calmed her breathing for a second and slowly flew to the skies.

Yunlong jumped off the heaven stairs and landed in front of Qian Daoliu, who had a solemn expression on his face.

"You have three martial souls..?" Qian Daoliu suddenly asked with a puzzled expression.

"Yeah, that was a secret, though," Yunlong answered. "Well, that wasn't really an important secret now since you see it by yourself already."

"Just how did such an abnormality like you appear in this world?" Qian Daoliu grumbled.

"I don't know," Yunlong replied while shrugging his shoulders.

CAW!

Qian Daoliu and Yunlong quickly moved their gazes on the skies and saw Qian Renxue overwhelmed by a wave of steel raptor beast.

"Renxue." Yunlong looked at Qian Renxu, who had a sword in her hand.

Qian Renxue swiftly moved through the crowd while slashing everything in front of her path. She also skillfully left an afterimage one after another to trick the steel raptor beast.

Yunlong's eyes scanned through the crowd and quickly noticed one steel raptor beast was different from the other.

Caw!

The steel raptor beast's leader released an angry cry, which caused every steel raptor beast to release their ability and create a wide crowd storm in the skies.

Qian Renxue's eyes widened in surprise, and she instantly swallowed in the brazen storm.

"Uugh..." Qian Renxue felt her entire body bitten by the storm.

Qian Renxue's thoughts were running at high speed because if she didn't find a way, this would become way more dangerous.

"What should I do?"

"What would Yunlong do in this situation?"

Qian Renxue had an idea and brazenly activated her domain, which created a golden dome around her.

"This isn't enough." She looked around and observed the storm with a keen gaze.

Qian Renxue observed the flow of the storm, slowly noticing something bizarre.

"I see... Eye of the storm, which means the center actually was controlled by one steel raptor beast." Qian Renxue commented.

"I have to break the eye of the storm." She continued while using her domain as a shield.

She flew to the center, but the storm awkwardly moved and grilled her into the same situation as before.

"She has found the way... It would take her a few days to finish this trial." Yunlong smiled slightly.

Yunlong pondered whether he should leave or not.

"Shadow Clone." Yunlong performed a hand seal, and a copy of him appeared.

"It's work, huh." He commented.

The clone stayed silent for a moment, and Yunlong calmly gave him instruction, but it wasn't necessary because it was basically himself.

"Hey, old man. I have something to check." Yunlong calmly gazed at Qian Daoliu. "I'll leave my clone here, so if something dangerous happens, he'll notify me."

Qian Daoliu frowned and questioned, "Why?"

"Hmm, what do you mean why?" Yunlong tilted his head. "There is nothing wrong with being cautious? I know you're strong, but you forget that Angel God wasn't the only God."

Qian Daoliu's frown deepened because what Yunlong said was indeed true. There are two other levels 99 titled douluo beside him in this world.

Even though Qian Daoliu had never seen them for a while, he knew they were strong enough to defeat him in their field.

"Fine." Qian Daoliu responded with a sigh.

"Where do you want to go?" He asked while looking back at Yunlong.

Yunlong stared at the particular distance and answered, "Slaughter City."
