Chapter 131: Return to the Spirit Hall, Qian Dao Liu Appears
"Your luck is outrageously good, isn't it?" Chrysanthemum Douluo kept turning the external soul bone over in his hands, mumbling to himself.
Seeing his reaction, Su Yun stood up straight, ready for the anticipated praise.
Noticing Su Yun's demeanor, Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: this kid, acting even more capable than me?
Though thinking this, Chrysanthemum Douluo still 'reluctantly' praised Su Yun, who accepted the compliment with nods, then modestly responded as if he dared not take credit.
"What do you plan to do with this soul bone?" Chrysanthemum Douluo already knew that the soul bone in his hand came from a Man-Faced Demon Spider and was a thousand-year external soul bone.
After hearing the question, Su Yun shared his thoughts.
Hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo looked at Su Yun with some astonishment: "Kid, I didn't expect you to think so deeply."
"No wonder you didn't absorb the soul bone from the beginning. Just for that, I can speak a few good words for you in front of the Pope."
Being able to resist absorbing an external soul bone, which is only second in preciousness to a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, speaks volumes of Su Yun's determination and clear understanding of his future martial soul development.
Chrysanthemum Douluo felt confident that, barring any accidents, Su Yun becoming a Title Douluo was almost a certainty, and it was only a matter of time before he reached his level.
"Alright, since you have this idea, I'll discuss it with the Pope after we return and find a suitable time to auction this item." Chrysanthemum Douluo was very satisfied with Su Yun's plan.
The Spirit Hall is the oldest organization on the Douluo Continent, possessing countless treasures, likely surpassing even the combined wealth of the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire.
But, there are always some things that even the Spirit Hall lacks.
Chrysanthemum Douluo believed that, with the properties and evolutionary potential of this external soul bone alone, it would be enough to make other soul master organizations pay a hefty price.
"Let's go, we'll return to the Spirit Hall first."
"Okay."
...
Several days passed, and Su Yun and Chrysanthemum Douluo finally returned to the Spirit Hall.
Upon their return, Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing were happy to see that Su Yun had acquired his fourth soul skill.
Xie Yue and Yan, however, seemed a bit displeased. They hadn't expected that Su Yun, who was once a bit behind them, had reached their level in just a few short years.
They had only broken through the forty-level soul power threshold not long ago themselves.
Now a member of the Spirit Hall, Dugu Yan was shocked to see Su Yun had reached the forty-level of soul power. She remembered her grandfather, Dugu Bo, boasting about his past achievements and claiming he was a genius, but compared to Su Yun, all of his achievements seemed somewhat insignificant.
Many within the Spirit Hall, upon learning that Su Yun had acquired his fourth soul ring at such a young age, inwardly praised Bibi Dong's foresight for taking Su Yun as her disciple early on.
Pope's Hall.
"Chrysanthemum Douluo, Su Yun, you've done well this time." Bibi Dong, as usual, leaned on the Pope's throne, dressed in a fitted Pope's robe, wearing a crown, and holding a scepter.
Just by slightly opening her eyes, a sense of nobility filled the entire hall, making one feel the urge to worship her.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Eminence."
"Thank you, Teacher, for the compliment."
"Not only did you secure the Azure Forest Heart, but you also obtained an external soul bone from a Man-Faced Demon Spider." Bibi Dong looked at the two extremely precious items placed before her, especially when her gaze fell on the latter, she was naturally slightly moved, as she too possessed an external soul bone from a spider-type soul beast โ the Six-Winged Purple Light Wings.
"Su Yun, your ability to resist the allure of the external soul bone and not rashly absorb it already proves that you are now a mature soul master," Bibi Dong said, her eyes filled with gentleness as she looked at Su Yun. "By the standards of other soul master academies, you would already qualify to graduate and venture across the continent."
"I still have much to learn and need to continue studying under my teacher," Su Yun immediately responded with a bow upon hearing Bibi Dong's words.
He had no intention of leaving so easily.
Bibi Dong smiled faintly, "I understand your thoughts. I will inform you as soon as there is news. Chrysanthemum Douluo, you may now take Su Yun and leave."
Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded, and with the Pope having spoken, he naturally led Su Yun out of the Pope's Hall.
After Chrysanthemum Douluo and Su Yun left the Pope's Hall, the hall fell silent for a moment before Bibi Dong retrieved the two treasures, her gaze suddenly turning towards a dark corner, slowly becoming icy cold, "Since you're here, then come out."
With her words, a figure emerged from the shadows.
The newcomer was a man, appearing to be in his forties, dressed in ordinary clothes, with an aura that seemed very plain, as if he was an ordinary person incapable of hurting a fly. However, his upright posture and golden pupils betrayed that he was no ordinary man.
The Grand Elder of the Worship Hall, Qian Dao Liu.
"Why have you come?" Bibi Dong asked coldly upon seeing Qian Dao Liu.
Qian Dao Liu smiled lightly, "You've planted spies in my Worship Hall, is it so strange that the Worship Hall would plant spies in your Pope's Hall?"
"I suppose I don't need to explain why I'm here."
Naturally, Qian Dao Liu's visit was for the Azure Forest Heart that Su Yun and Chrysanthemum Douluo had brought back.
Tang Chen once said that Qian Dao Liu, due to his cowardice, never dared to rashly attempt the final breakthrough, fearing death if he failed.
Therefore, he wanted to live.
Whether for himself or for his granddaughter Qian Renxue to undertake the final test of the Angel's Nine Trials, he wanted to continue living.
With his 99th-level Title Douluo strength, unless it was a natural death, the other forms of death could be reversed with the Azure Forest Heart that Chrysanthemum Douluo brought back.
"What makes you think I would give this treasure to you?" Bibi Dong's eyes emitted a cold glint, "Having it means I also have the chance to aim for that realm in the future."
Hearing this, Qian Dao Liu took a deep breath and said lightly, "Compared to you, I prefer that the future of the Spirit Hall is in Xiao Xue's hands. Don't forget, she's your daughter."
