The young girl's wings unfurled behind her, and the two yellow Soul Rings on her body began to light up in succession.
The pure, holy Soul Power in her hands began to condense rapidly, eventually shifting from intangible to tangible, solidifying into a sacred scepter.
The scepter was about two feet long, its white shaft glowing with a lustrous sheen and faintly exuding a divine aura. The base tapered into a sharp point, while at the very top, wings of the same white material swept upward, curving into two arcs that mirrored the wings on the girl's back. At the center of these wings, at the very pinnacle of the scepter, was embedded a transparent gem the size of a hen's egg. It seemed as if liquid were flowing within the gem, occasionally flashing with faint rays of light under the reflection of the sun.
The girl's second Soul Skill, 'Holy Spirit Scepter'; a weapon-type Soul Skill. When bolstered by this scepter, the effects of the girl's other Soul Skills are doubled.
Then, the girl raised the scepter, and the transparent gem upon it began to bloom with a pure, holy, and warm white light, directly enveloping everyone present.
Bathed in this holy light, everyone felt their bodies and minds relax completely. The sensation was like floating freely and easily in a tranquil sky, light as a cloud.
"Ah~"
"So comfortable!"
"What a peaceful feeling!"
"..."
It wasn't just the commoners and the Black Armor Soldiers who felt this; even the Horse Chopping Blade Great Soul Master felt that the wounds inflicted upon his Spirit were easing, becoming far less agonizing.
As Yun Ming came into contact with this holy light, he felt a sense of inner peace rise from the depths of his heart—provided, of course, that he did not actively use his Soul Power to block the light from entering his body.
The girl's first Soul Skill, 'Holy Light Illumination'; wherever the holy light shines, all evil dissolves. It does not only sweep away the dust from the hearts of those bathed in its glow, but for the injured, it serves another purpose: suppressing the worsening of wounds and providing auxiliary healing.
Having completed these first two preparatory steps, the girl's final purple Soul Ring lit up. The Soul Power light on the Holy Spirit Scepter in her hand began to shift, transforming from holy white light into a fresh, natural, and vibrant emerald green.
Once enveloped by the emerald light, the wounds of the commoners who had been injured in the previous battle, as well as the minor injuries of the Black Armor Soldiers, began to heal slowly. It was as if a sharp stone were being polished smooth; the pain gradually subsided, and the scars slowly faded.
In less than ten minutes, the external wounds of everyone present caused by the earlier fight had completely healed for the minor cases, while the more severe ones had scabbed over and begun to knit together. The two heavily injured people lying on the ground no longer felt their life force dissipating, and their conditions had stabilized. Only the Great Soul Master was more troublesome; his Spirit had been damaged, harming his foundation, so it would not be easy to recover fully. However, after the girl's sequence of skills, he felt significantly better.
The girl's fourth Soul Skill, 'Light of All Living Things'; a group-healing Soul Skill. Its primary function is to maximize the self-healing power and resistance of the injured. Those treated will feel somewhat weak afterward, as the energy required for the healing comes from their own bodies.
Two groups had been fighting for quite a while, yet the majority of the battle's consequences were effectively nullified by the girl in just a few minutes.
Combined with the third Soul Skill, 'Holy Wing Guardian', which had previously protected the Felt Hat Man's wife and child, these were all the Soul Skills possessed by the beautiful girl.
Seeing their wounds heal for the most part in this short span of time, the commoners were first shocked by the girl's ability—they had never seen such a powerful Soul Master. Afterward, they were overcome with gratitude and began to kowtow, especially the families of the two heavily injured men, who knelt before the girl and knocked their heads against the ground repeatedly.
"Has an angel descended to the Human World?!!"
"Thank you, Lord Soul Master!"
"Thank you, Lord Soul Master, for saving our lives!"
"..."
Seeing this, the girl retracted her Spirit and hurriedly urged the kneeling people to stand, responding to their gratitude one by one.
"Please, get up quickly!"
"Thank you all!"
"You are all too kind!"
"..."
Even the Black Armor Soldiers, who might have been considered the girl's enemies, including their Great Soul Master captain, felt the hostility in their hearts collapse and dissolve under the girl's angelic Holy Heart. After all, they were soldiers, not heinous criminals; their psyches were not that twisted. They felt quite grateful toward this great benefactor who, despite standing on the opposing side, had healed their wounds. Furthermore, the fact that this benefactor possessed beauty that was 'unrivaled in heaven or on earth' only amplified that gratitude!
At the brink of life and death, a white-clad angel had stepped forward, using her hands to lift up the hope of Life. This was perhaps the true portrayal of the girl before them, especially since her Spirit really was an angel.
"Angel of Hope!", Yun Ming whispered to himself.
After watching the entire process of the girl healing the crowd and witnessing her familiar Soul Skills, memories regarding the girl's abilities quickly awakened in Yun Ming's mind.
The girl, who had been keeping a close eye on Yun Ming's movements, was overjoyed to hear him name her Spirit, and a brilliant smile bloomed on her face. This youth was indeed the person she had been longing for day and night. Based on her knowledge of the Spirits of this era, the only Angel Spirit known to the public was the orthodox inheritance of the Angel God, the Six-Winged Angel. No one knew of the existence of an Angel of Hope or a Healing Angel.
Yet now, Yun Ming knew. Combined with the various signs from before, the girl was certain that the youth before her was her lover. It was just that he seemed not to recognize her. Was it possible that, unlike her, whose memories remained intact, his memories had suffered some issue?!!
Seeing the girl's bright and moving smile, everyone was momentarily stunned, including Yun Ming. He felt a heartbeat of genuine, heartfelt attraction. A beauty that could topple a city with a smile, and a nation with a second, was likely nothing more than this.
The girl was very satisfied with the youth's expression!
During the time the girl was healing the crowd, the carriage carrying Yang Wutian and Oscar finally arrived at Yun Ming's location at a leisurely pace.
After Yang Wutian and Oscar stepped out of the carriage, they immediately noticed a stunning girl looking at Yun Ming with a smile, while Yun Ming himself was staring at her in a daze!
Seeing the undisguised love in the girl's eyes, Oscar expressed that he was very envious.
Yun Ming had been acting alone for less than half an hour, and he had already gained the admiration of a beautiful girl. He, Oscar, was clearly quite handsome himself, so why had he never reaped such love!
However, Yang Wutian was quite happy. Judging by the pure Soul Power lingering around the girl, she was also a genius. More importantly, Yun Ming had finally opened his heart to romance!
Back when Yun Ming and the Zhu Family Third Miss were sharing a suite in the Soul Hunting Town, Yang Wutian had already been protecting Yun Ming from the shadows. Watching Yun Ming cultivate and read books every day while essentially ignoring Zhu Zhuqing, Yang Wutian had actually been a bit worried that Yun Ming was too dense, especially since that Zhu girl was quite the attractive type.
Now, seeing Yun Ming moved by a girl who was not inferior to Zhu Zhuqing in terms of appearance, figure, or talent, Yang Wutian was very pleased.
The others, seeing the arrival of uninvited guests, were also startled out of their trance by the girl's smile.
It was Oscar who spoke up first to ask.
"Yun Ming, what is this?"
Yun Ming shook his head upon hearing this and did not answer, mainly because he was not clear on the situation himself.
The girl, seeing the newcomers and realizing they seemed to know Yun Ming, felt a bit of curiosity but still continued with her previous line of questioning, asking the Felt Hat Man from before.
"Kind sir, could you tell us in detail how the City Lord's Mansion's decree disregards the lives of the common people?"
"If you can't explain yourself clearly, the genius Soul Master beside me won't be saving you!"
Although Yun Ming felt it was a bit strange that the Young Girl understood his thoughts so well, he didn't feel any sense of wariness.
In order to get to the truth, Yun Ming affirmed the Young Girl's statement and said to the Felt Hat Man.
"Tell me the details! If that decree is truly problematic, I will seek justice for you!"
ps: Seeking monthly tickets, seeking recommendations.
