Chapter 632: Chapter 632: Concept of the Flying Thunder God Technique
After Qian Renxue's declaration, she fell silent, her face flushed with embarrassment, looking absolutely adorable in Su Ming's eyes.
It was the first time he'd seen Qian Renxue like this.
Qian Daoliu chuckled, watching Su Ming. "Well, Su Ming, you heard her. Xue has spoken her mind. What do you think?"
Everyone present eagerly awaited Su Ming's response, including Qian Renxue, who was listening intently. Without further ado, Su Ming walked over to Qian Renxue and, in front of everyone, gently took her delicate hand.
Qian Renxue hadn't expected him to be so bold. Her body stiffened momentarily in surprise, but Su Ming then raised their clasped hands before Qian Daoliu, leaving his intentions clear.
"Hahaha, wonderful!" Qian Daoliu laughed heartily, as Golden Crocodile Douluo joined in, saying, "It's about time our Xue found someone!"
The Third Priest, Qingluan Douluo, added, "Indeed! I thought Xue was as reserved as I am and might remain single forever!"
"Third Grandfather!" Qian Renxue protested, her face even redder.
Sensing the timing was right, Su Ming pulled out a small straw doll from his soul device and handed it to Qian Daoliu. "Grandfather Qian, besides completing my third trial, I also brought you this. Here."
"What's this?" Qian Daoliu asked, taking the doll and examining it with a puzzled look.
As Qian Renxue looked at the doll, her heart began to race. Could it be...?
"A substitute doll," Su Ming stated calmly.
The other six priests, unaware of the requirement for Qian Daoliu to sacrifice himself in Qian Renxue's ninth trial, thought Su Ming intended it as a talisman for Qian Daoliu's protection. But they couldn't help feeling skeptical. Could such a tiny doll truly serve as a lifesaver?
Su Ming continued, "Grandfather Qian, if you infuse it with your Angel God spirit power, this straw doll will transform to resemble you and take your place in activating the ninth Angel God trial. That way, you won't need to sacrifice yourself for Xue."
"What!" The six priests were stunned. Golden Crocodile Douluo asked sharply, "Is this true, Su Ming?"
Realizing there was no hiding it now, Qian Daoliu shot a glare at Su Ming, then sighed, "It's true. I was prepared to make this sacrifice… for Xue's smooth inheritance of the Angel God."
Seeing Su Ming's seriousness, Subduing Demon and Thousand Ton Douluo pressed him further, "Su Ming, are you absolutely sure about this? We want Xue to succeed, but not at the cost of Grandfather Qian's life."
Su Ming nodded, "I'm certain. However, when you're ready to initiate the ninth trial, notify me, and Bibi Dong must also be present."
Everyone exchanged puzzled glances. "Why?" someone asked. "Are there risks to this method? And if you're on Sea God Island or somewhere else for your trials, we won't be able to reach you."
Su Ming explained his suspicions regarding the ninth trial of the Angel God. "I have a hunch that the Sea God may have tampered with it. Remember, we're now opposed to the Sea God and the God of Asura. And from what I know, the Angel God and Sea God were also adversaries. The Angel God has already fallen, but how and why… I needn't say more, right?"
He continued, "The ninth trial opens a passage to the divine realm. We can't rule out the possibility of the Sea God meddling with it. We must be cautious. A single godly will, even in fragmentary form, is something no Titled Douluo could withstand."
Everyone was now deeply aware of the seriousness of the matter. As they were about to ask Su Ming how to contact him, he spoke up.
"As for contact, I'll give you a small wooden figure I made with my Wood Release technique. If you pour spirit power into it, I'll sense it immediately and know that you're ready to begin the ninth trial."
He raised his right hand, revealing a palm-sized wooden figurine. As Su Ming gazed at it, a thought struck him, and he withdrew the figurine. "Actually, Grandfather Qian, let me keep this for a few more days. I just thought of a better method, and since I'm not in a rush to leave, I'd like to experiment a bit."
The High Priests were left puzzled by his sudden retraction. What could he possibly be planning?
The answer in Su Ming's mind was clear: the Flying Thunder God Technique!
While making the figurine, it dawned on him that if he could mark it with a specific space-time seal, he might achieve an effect similar to the Flying Thunder God technique!
