The Pursuit of the Tang Father and Son in Holy Soul Village, Sword Fanatic Ji Juechen!
Douluo Hall was the resting place of all fallen Titled Douluo.
After the death of every Titled Douluo who had been granted a title by Spirit Hall, a memorial tablet engraved with that title would be enshrined in Douluo Hall.
The polished floor gave off a faint golden glow, and wooden memorial tablets lined the surrounding walls.
Even the Pope of Spirit Hall had no right to enter Douluo Hall without a matter of great importance, yet Yu Chuan and Su Yuntao had the fortune of entering it today.
For the two of them, a Soul King and a Soul Grandmaster, this was undoubtedly an immense honor.
"Big brother, we brought two people back. They say they have a lead on Tang Hao and Tang San!"
Qian Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo had recently left Spirit City to kill an Evil Soul Master who was a Titled Douluo and had been slaughtering innocent people at will in a small duchy.
So they did not know that Qian Daoliu had already taken the enshrined Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and Lion to the Clear Sky Sect to demand an accounting.
From the depths of Douluo Hall emerged a figure who looked like a youth of fifteen or sixteen. He had long, silvery-white hair, and a thin layer of ice radiating a chilling cold covered his left eye.
He was Spirit Hall's Fifth Enshrined, Light Feather Douluo.
"Sixth brother, seventh brother, you're back?"
But when Light Feather Douluo saw Yu Chuan and Su Yuntao, a look of surprise flashed across his face.
"Who are these two little fellows? Why did you bring them into Douluo Hall?"
Demon Subduing Douluo chuckled and said,
"We happened to see them on our way back to Spirit City. These two came from Nuoding City, and they say they have a lead on Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao and Sea God Tang San from the Sky Screen."
"With such crucial information, we naturally hurried back to find big brother, so that woman Bibi Dong wouldn't..."
But just then,
the doors of Douluo Hall slowly opened, and Bibi Dong walked in, a strange blood-red light flickering in her beautiful eyes.
"My lords, do you two enshrined have a complaint about me?"
Demon Subduing Douluo's expression instantly grew awkward.
He hadn't expected to be caught red-handed gossiping about Bibi Dong behind her back.
"The Great Enshrined has led several of the other enshrined to the Clear Sky Sect."
"Why not hand these two over to me for now?"
Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Demon Subduing Douluo remained silent, but Qian Jun Douluo gave a faint smile.
"Your Holiness, why go to all that trouble?"
"Whatever information they have, can't they just tell us to our faces?"
By now, Yu Chuan and Su Yuntao's legs had gone weak with fright.
They could also tell that the Pope seemed to be at odds with the enshrined.
The problem was that little people like them wouldn't even count as cannon fodder, whichever side they stood on.
Bibi Dong glanced at the two of them, then spoke after a moment's silence.
"Then speak."
Yu Chuan gave Su Yuntao a push, and he stepped forward. Though he stumbled over his words, he managed to explain the whole story from beginning to end.
"A blacksmith who drinks all day... a son named Tang San... who seemed very mature for his age..."
Hearing Su Yuntao's description, Bibi Dong smiled coldly.
"In that case, there should be no mistake. This Tang San is the person I'm looking for!"
"Now that Tang Hao's whereabouts have been discovered, would any of you enshrined be interested in taking action and bringing him back to Spirit City?"
Demon Subduing Douluo immediately grew excited at Bibi Dong's words.
"This junior Tang Hao—I've heard his Clear Sky Hammer has inherited Tang Chen's true teachings?"
"I'd like to see which packs more force, his Clear Sky Hammer or our Qiangu Clan's Coiling Dragon Staff!"
Qian Jun Douluo nodded as well.
"Fifth brother, sorry for the trouble, but please hold the fort at Douluo Hall. Seventh brother and I will cooperate with the Pope's Palace to hunt down Tang Hao and his son Tang San!"
"And send word to big brother at once, so they can hurry to Holy Soul Village too!"
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy covered an area comparable to some of the smaller cities on the Douluo Continent.
The academy was divided into three parts: the teaching district, the dormitory district, and the testing district.
After hearing Lin Bai's description, Kong Deming hurriedly pulled Jing Hongchen away and went to call the other Level 9 Soul Engineers of Illustrious Virtue Hall together for a meeting.
Lin Bai, meanwhile, left Illustrious Virtue Hall and followed Jing Hongchen's directions toward the battle arena where Qian Renxue and the others were.
The battle arena stood at the boundary between the teaching district and the testing district. It was used for matches between students and for testing the durability of ordinary Soul Tools.
But there was still the same problem: the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy was simply too large.
Lin Bai walked for a long time without finding the battle arena, so he could only look for someone to ask.
Just then, a conversation drifted over from not far away.
"Ju Zi, how is your skin still so nice when you stay up late every day? Have you been secretly using some really expensive skincare products?"
"I heard some senior students who just joined Illustrious Virtue Hall went bald in less than two months from writing papers. I don't want that to happen to me!"
"It's all right, Keke. If it comes to that, I can make you a Soul Tool wig."
"I don't want one!!!"
On a tree-lined path, two girls walked slowly along, laughing and chatting.
One was petite and looked quite playful.
The other girl looked sleepy-eyed, her long, smooth black hair hanging loose as she yawned.
But her skin was so flawless, crystal-clear and without a pore in sight, that it looked as though water would come out if she pinched it.
Both girls looked to be seventeen or eighteen, and they carried thick books and notebooks in their arms.
"Hello, senior sisters. I'm a new student who just arrived at the academy. Could you tell me where the battle arena is?"
Lin Bai walked up to them and asked with a smile.
Both Ju Zi and Keke were startled by Lin Bai's sudden appearance.
But when they got a good look at Lin Bai's face, they both fell quiet.
Wow, what a pretty little shota!
"Little brother, are you lost? You mustn't cry, all right?"
At Keke's words, the corner of Lin Bai's mouth twitched.
Why does she sound like one of those bratty girls from Galgame?
Lin Bai glanced at Keke again.
Hmm, her figure is similar too!
Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Ju Zi gave Keke a pat, then smiled at Lin Bai.
"We're going to the battle arena to record some data too. Why don't you come with us?"
Lin Bai nodded with a smile.
"Okay."
As they walked along, Ju Zi and Keke began chatting with Lin Bai.
Lin Bai had pursued quite a few girlfriends in his previous life, so he naturally knew a little about skincare.
After just a few casual remarks from him, the eyes of the two beautiful girls, Ju Zi and Keke, lit up.
"Volcanic mud? Something that looks so dirty can actually be used for skincare?"
"Lin Bai, you know so much!"
Just then, a burst of deafening cheers suddenly came from ahead.
Lin Bai turned to look and immediately saw Qian Renxue, Huo Yutong, and Meng Hongchen sitting in the spectator seats beside the battle arena.
But in the next instant,
a sharp gleam suddenly flashed in Lin Bai's eyes as he looked toward the battle arena.
A handsome black-haired young man stood in the very center of the arena. He had an upright figure, and his face was somewhat sickly pale.
Even his eyes were like a puppet's, utterly devoid of life.
Yet from him, Lin Bai sensed a sword intent that soared into the heavens!
It was as though the figure standing in the arena was not a person, but a world-shocking divine sword!
With just one look, Lin Bai immediately recognized the young man standing in the arena.
The top student of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Sword Fanatic Ji Juechen!
