Douluo’s Fate Blessed Melee Archer

Chapter 148: Angelic True Form Unleashed – The Angelic Domain Appears

It's over.

The three girls watching the battle all turned their gazes toward Qian Renxue, their eyes filled with sympathy.

After spending years with Han Li, they had come to understand his fighting style.

He had two distinct combat modes.

The first was a calculated, precise style where he barely spoke his every move carefully planned. Even if he made a mistake, he would quickly adapt and correct it.

Dugu Yan had described this style before.

She and the others had experienced it firsthand while acquiring their fourth spirit rings. It was a rhythmic, suffocating fighting style. Facing him in this mode made opponents feel utterly powerless, completely aware of the gap in strength.

The second mode was what he had used against Hu Liena's group in the Papal Hall.

In this state, his attacks were no longer as lethal, but his words became relentless a constant stream of psychological attacks.

His combat in this mode was less about efficiency and more about demoralizing his opponent.

And the scariest part?

This time, unlike against Hu Liena, Han Li might use his full mental abilities which included his rage inducing, mind slowing spiritual attacks.

The three girls had personally experienced those effects in private training.

The sensation of losing all rationality, combined with the illusion of everything slowing down, was agonizing.

They knew Qian Renxue had far greater mental resilience than them, but Han Li's mental strength was even greater than hers.

Would Han Li combine his psychological and spiritual attacks to torment Qian Renxue?

They already knew the answer.

Because just as Han Li's twin blades clashed against her golden sword, the golden mental wave reached him first.

In Qian Renxue's wide golden eyes, Han Li smirked a faint crimson barrier appeared before him, absorbing the golden wave completely.

No. Not just absorbing.

The semi transparent crimson barrier captured the golden mental wave within itself, like a liquid crystal embedding the attack.

Then, before Qian Renxue could react, the golden wave was erased, and an identical crimson wave shot back toward her at even greater speed.

Qian Renxue immediately realized something was wrong.

She had expected Han Li's mental strength to be strong that much was obvious from how he voluntarily leaked this information before.

Her attack had only been a probe meant to test the true limits of his mind.

But after seeing this…

Why did she feel like Han Li's mental strength might actually surpass her grandfather's?

Was Han Li's mental strength stronger than Qian Daoliu's?

Of course not.

Even with the Plane Consciousness Accelerator, Han Li had no natural faith energy source like a god.

Qian Daoliu's power ceiling might have been locked, but the divine energy sustaining his body and spirit still kept him ahead… for now.

Han Li's unique mental state had nothing to do with raw power.

Rather, it was thanks to… the Angel God.

Yes, really.

Over the past four years, Han Li with the help of his "son" had been collecting abandoned faith energy.

Of course, he had reported this to Qian Daoliu… though he had slightly adjusted the wording.

He told Qian Daoliu that he had decided to worship the Angel God.

Qian Daoliu had been ecstatic.

He even told Han Li, "God loves all. The Lord generously bestows His grace upon all who seek Him. If you ever need guidance, He will aid you."

Seeing Qian Daoliu so enthusiastic, Han Li had felt a tiny bit guilty… but he still quietly harvested some of the stray faith energy.

Of course, he had confirmed with his "son" that this would not affect the Angel God's divine inheritance.

Even if Han Li didn't collect this residual faith energy, it would eventually dissipate naturally.

So really, he was just preventing waste.

He was, after all, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, destined to protect the world.

Though the Plane Consciousness handled all the actual responsibility, Han Li and his "son" still shared a father son bond.

Naturally, what's mine is yours.

And so, Han Li had sustained his accelerated spiritual growth by picking up "divine leftovers."

The excess faith energy from thousands of years of worship might have been minuscule, but even a tiny portion of it was enough for rapid spiritual growth.

Better yet his mind became tinged with the aura of the Angel God.

Even Qian Daoliu himself had mistakenly assumed that Han Li's angelic aura was merely residual energy from their past encounters.

Now, however, this aura had an unexpected use it caused Qian Renxue to misjudge him completely.

Han Li had deliberately used this aura, along with his superior mental strength, to seal off Qian Renxue's spiritual attacks.

Then, he had deliberately mirrored her attack, maximizing her emotional reaction.

After all, the Angelic Martial Soul naturally possessed holy and purification properties.

Han Li didn't want to take any chances.

What if Qian Renxue had a hidden resistance?

That wasn't something he could test against Qian Daoliu.

Perhaps sensing that Han Li's counterattack wasn't just a simple reversal, or perhaps trusting her instincts, Qian Renxue instantly abandoned her initial strategy.

Instead of trying to block Han Li's attack, she immediately activated her seventh spirit skill.

Her black spirit ring glowed, and in an instant

Angelic True Form descended.

Simultaneously, she activated her Angelic Domain, making her intangible just as the crimson wave passed through her harmlessly.

That's right.

She didn't even try to block it she simply phased through it.

As soon as her Angelic Domain was deployed, she realized Han Li's mental attack was not purely spiritual it contained traces of elemental energy.

Though she didn't fully understand its effect, she instinctively avoided it.

The Angel feared no battle but the Angel was no fool, either.

She glanced down just in time to see Han Li casually shatter her golden sword, then look up at her with a smirk.

Qian Renxue scanned her surroundings.

Her Angelic Domain now covered the entire battlefield a full thousand meters around them.

Hovering above, she looked down at Han Li, her expression confident.

"Han Li, forcing me to unleash both my Martial Soul True Form and Angelic Domain in just one exchange… you should be proud."

"Prepare to face divine judgment. In this state, I can battle a Titled Douluo head on."

However, she didn't get the reaction she expected.

Instead, Han Li's smirk widened.

"Oh? Is that what you think?"

"Qian Renxue… what makes you so sure that you're at an absolute advantage… and that I'm the one on the defensive?"

"What makes you think… that everything you've done so far… isn't exactly what I wanted?"
