The Soul Master World in Shock: Spirit Hall Had a God Child?
A God-Level Choice could be triggered at any moment.
Given how the system worked, the best approach was to go out.
Only by going out and meeting people could he increase the chances of triggering a choice.
Staying here in the Worship Hall was not a wise choice.
Now that he had a golden finger, he couldn't stay cooped up at home.
If he did, when would he ever become a god?
Having made up his mind, he decided to take a stroll around Spirit City first.
If he could meet some people connected to the plot, he might be able to trigger a choice right away.
If that didn't work, he could go find the seven Enshrined.
Or he could go straight to Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo.
He'd fleece them for all they were worth and stir up trouble like crazy. Surely that would trigger a choice?
They were all family, so there was no need to stand on ceremony.
Inside the Angel Temple, the seven Enshrined all shivered at once.
They exchanged glances, a chill running through them.
They couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was about to happen.
"Regarding the God Child's safety, I suggest we arrange for someone from the Elder Hall to protect him."
"It must be a Titled Douluo, and we should also assign some bishops to help the God Child handle his daily affairs."
Qian Daoliu spoke slowly.
The God Child had brought them vital information, and his status was supreme. They had to keep him safe.
Otherwise, the first to come after them would probably be the gods.
The mere thought of the gods' wrath made their hair stand on end.
"Assign Huo Ling Douluo to protect him. A woman would be more attentive."
Golden Crocodile Douluo offered his suggestion.
There were female Titled Douluo in the Elder Hall as well.
Huo Ling Douluo was one of them. Though she was somewhat advanced in years,
as a Titled Douluo, she looked much like a young woman in her twenties, and she was beautiful too.
She had a mature temperament and was an excellent choice to protect the God Child!
"Then Huo Ling Douluo it is. Assign two cardinals to handle his daily affairs as well."
Qian Daoliu made the final decision.
Cardinals were usually in charge of the Martial Soul Sub-Halls in major cities.
Yet now they were going to help Chu Xuan handle his daily affairs.
Spirit Hall worked efficiently. Huo Ling Douluo and the two cardinals were soon summoned and instructed to head to the eastern palace.
In addition, Spirit Hall's announcements were officially issued.
The intelligence department swiftly relayed them to every city.
There were two announcements.
One concerned Yu Xiaogang, clearly laying out the sources of the information in the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul.
It also provided evidence.
Yu Xiaogang's borrowing records from the library back then had all been preserved.
Those records were enough to show people exactly what had happened.
With such an announcement, Yu Xiaogang's disgrace was practically a nail in the coffin.
The other announcement informed the entire Douluo Continent that Spirit Hall had a God Child!
"Spirit Hall God Child?"
In the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Yuanzhen frowned deeply.
He had heard of Holy Sons and Holy Daughters before, but this was the first time a God Child had appeared.
What exactly did such a position mean?
The announcement didn't say, nor did it even give the God Child's name.
Yet Spirit Hall had sent the announcement out as an urgent matter.
It had used every means at its disposal to spread the news across the entire Douluo Continent in a single day.
That showed just how much importance Spirit Hall attached to the matter.
"Big brother, could Spirit Hall be bluffing?"
Yu Luomian looked thoughtful.
Spirit Hall was growing stronger and stronger, and its ambitions were far from small.
Bringing out a so-called God Child at a time like this, it was very likely plotting something.
Yu Yuanzhen shook his head.
"The God Child must exist, and his status is very, very special. He may even rank above the Holy Son and Holy Daughter."
"As for exactly where he stands, we need to find out."
"Send people to Spirit City to investigate and make contact with this God Child. Find out what's going on."
As the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Yuanzhen had devoted his life to the clan.
Under his leadership, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had secured its position among the Upper Three Sects.
But he was under considerable pressure as well.
He was the only Titled Douluo in the entire clan.
His younger brother was fairly talented too, but alas, his cultivation had only reached the Soul Douluo level.
He probably had no hope of becoming a Titled Douluo in this lifetime.
Fortunately, two prodigies had emerged among the clan's younger generation.
Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin.
Both were highly talented and had a chance of becoming Titled Douluo in the future.
As long as they were properly nurtured and given enough resources, they should bring the clan many benefits.
"Big brother, what about the other announcement?"
Yu Luomian spoke cautiously.
The other announcement concerned his older brother's son, who had been missing for many years.
After Yu Xiaogang left the clan all those years ago, he had never returned.
When he came up with the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul, they had been a little curious.
He had actually managed to come up with such a theory?
Although many of its theories were things everyone already knew without saying, it was still astonishing that a level twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster could have done so much research.
Besides, there was the Golden Iron Triangle of the Soul Master World back then. Yu Xiaogang seemed to have been its corner of wisdom.
Those two things had brought the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan some face.
But now the announcement had slapped the clan hard in the face.
The information Yu Xiaogang supposedly researched himself had actually all come from Spirit Hall's central library.
He had even deceived Bibi Dong, who was the Holy Daughter at the time, into taking him to the fourth and fifth floors.
The evidence was conclusive. There was no denying it.
This would surely send the clan's reputation plummeting and have a tremendous impact.
It was probably hardest for his older brother to accept.
"That good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang!"
At the mention of Yu Xiaogang, Yu Yuanzhen ground his teeth in hatred.
He had read the announcement too, and his old face burned with shame.
How had he raised such a despicable son?
He had gained access to the library by deceiving a woman's feelings.
And afterward, he had shamelessly claimed it was his own research?
He had clearly done nothing more than compile that information. The so-called research had never existed.
He could even be called a plagiarist.
After this, the clan had lost all face.
"He did something that disgraced the family name. From now on, don't call him my son!"
Yu Yuanzhen angrily smashed the armrest of his throne, his face ashen.
Yu Luomian's heart tightened.
His older brother was furious, as expected.
In his older brother's eyes, even his own son would not be easily forgiven for doing something detrimental to the clan.
He might even eliminate him with his own hands.
"Big brother, now that Spirit Hall has issued this announcement, what worries me most is whether it will take its anger out on the clan."
"Yu Xiaogang has been missing for years, but Spirit Hall's anger won't die down so easily."
Hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen fell silent.
They might have to face Spirit Hall's wrath next.
When Yu Xiaogang had done those things, he had still held the status of young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
What he did outside represented the clan.
"What a bastard!"
"Tell all clan members to be on their guard. The disciples outside must be careful."
"And keep a close watch on all our businesses. Spirit Hall may make a move against them."
"Understood!"
Yu Luomian looked serious. His older brother had good reason to think so.
Before finding Yu Xiaogang, Spirit Hall was very likely to make a move against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
They needed to prepare in advance.
What they didn't know was that Spirit Hall's retaliation would come very, very quickly.
