After the results were announced, all parties quickly reached a consensus.

"Du Bai, when you go hunt soul beasts this time, let Elders Ghost and Chrysanthemum accompany you."

"Try to hunt a soul beast with a higher cultivation, perhaps even one over a hundred thousand years old."

Pope Qian Xunji continued.

As the Holy Son of Spirit Hall and its next Pope, Du Bai naturally had the right to have Titled Douluo elders accompany him to hunt suitable soul beasts and obtain suitable soul rings.

"Thank you for your kindness, Teacher, but I would rather hunt soul beasts alone. Of course, Lady Dong'er will accompany me."

He absolutely could not let others follow him to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, especially Chrysanthemum Douluo. There was an Immortal Flower called the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum there, identical to Elder Ju's martial soul. If he took him along, would those good things still fall into his hands?

Du Bai hurriedly refused and glanced at the goddess Bibi Dong.

Du Bai still intended to secretly keep the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum for himself. With it, Chrysanthemum Douluo would owe him an enormous favor and could be used by him in the future.

Hearing Du Bai's thoughts, Bibi Dong made a simple analysis with her intelligence and quickly understood the purpose of his trip to Sunset Forest.

There was a place in Sunset Forest called the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Immortal Flower Immortal Grass that could increase a soul master's strength grew there, including an immortal flower known as the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

Elder Ju Yue Guan's martial soul was the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. If they could obtain it and handle matters properly, they would gain the assistance of a Titled Douluo within Spirit Hall.

That would be extremely useful for freeing herself from the restraints of the Pope and Spirit Hall.

At that thought, Bibi Dong's heart could not help but flutter.

Du Bai has a great secret. He actually knows such a place exists. It's truly unbelievable.

Bibi Dong thought to herself, growing even more curious about Du Bai.

"Can you and Dong'er handle it alone? Soul beasts over fifty thousand years old aren't easy to deal with."

Qian Xunji spoke, feeling a faint sourness in his heart. He did not want Du Bai and Bibi Dong to be alone together.

"It's fine, Teacher. This is also a form of training for me. I don't want to be a flower raised in a greenhouse, nor do I want to be a useless vase that only looks good."

Du Bai declared righteously.

The Immortal Flower Immortal Grass all belong to Dong Dong and me. I don't want to share them with you old fools.

That was Du Bai's true inner thought.

"Good. The Holy Son has backbone. As expected of Spirit Hall's next Pope."

"Then we shall proceed according to the Holy Son's wishes. Gather your soul rings and return soon. We will hold a Coronation Ceremony for you then."

Spirit Hall's First Worshipper Elder, Qian Daoliu, said with an approving gaze. He had no idea about the jealousy in Qian Xunji's heart.

So be it. Married women have their own charm.

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Qian Xunji could only console himself inwardly.

"Thank you for granting this, Worshipper Elder. Thank you for granting this, Pope Teacher."

Du Bai spoke respectfully.

Including the Pope, there were twenty-eight Titled Douluo present. Du Bai did not dare act arrogantly or disrespect them.

If he offended them, the saliva from twenty-eight Titled Douluo alone could drown him.

Seeing that Du Bai had such backbone and had earned the approval of First Worshipper Elder Qian Daoliu, all the elders present looked at him with goodwill and admiration.

As expected of Spirit Hall's next Pope. Spirit Hall will enter its peak era, and unifying Douluo Continent will only be a matter of time!

That was the true thought in the hearts of the elders.

Of course, if Du Bai ever defied Spirit Hall's holy decree, this group of Titled Douluo would also rise up and attack him together.

That was Spirit Hall's system. If you relied on it and contributed to it, you would receive the affirmation and recognition of everyone within the system.

Once you felt acknowledged within the system, you would work even harder to squeeze out your own value and serve it.

But once you went against the system's wishes, people within the system would punish you as well.

What the system valued was not your personal ability, but your value to the system.

Du Bai had allowed them to see his value.

The same was true in modern society. Every organization, school, and factory hoped that its employees, students, and workers would shine and contribute to the system they belonged to.

Wasn't that so? Heh heh.

Naturally, Du Bai had no favorable impression of Spirit Hall, nor did he have any favorable impression of the Protagonist Group. He felt uncomfortable if he did not torment them, and tormenting them made him feel a little better.

After all, Du Bai had read the entire Douluo Continent novel and deeply loathed many of its characters, such as Tang San, Qian Xunji, and Yu Xiaogang.

What Du Bai cared about more was whether he and Bibi Dong could live happily and freely together on Douluo Continent.

"Holy Son, go make your preparations and set out soon to acquire your soul rings."

"Today's assembly is hereby concluded."

Qian Xunji spoke and announced the end of the assembly. As he spoke, an almost imperceptible glint flashed through his eyes.

Yet Du Bai happened to catch that barely noticeable glint.

This was not the first time Du Bai had seen a glint flash in Qian Xunji's eyes.

At that moment, Du Bai could not help complaining inwardly:

Are you fucking Radiance Douluo or something? A glint flashes every time something happens or doesn't happen. Are you trying to tell me that you have another title, Radiance Douluo? Heh heh.

Hearing Du Bai's thoughts, Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes shifted as she could not help glancing at him. This fellow looked calm and obedient on the surface, but who knew what crooked scheme he was plotting inside?

The assembly officially ended.

One after another, the elders rose and left. Before departing, quite a few of them congratulated Du Bai.

Du Bai merely responded calmly.

After all, they might become enemies in the future.

Of course, the elders did not find Du Bai's indifference strange. They had more or less heard that the Holy Son had an unsuitable personality and was not versed in worldly affairs.

The meeting was over. Those who didn't need to shit went home to hug their wives.

Those who did went to the latrine. Heh heh.

Du Bai naturally chose to return to his residence and open his gift packs.

Bibi Dong did not cling to Du Bai either, and went off to handle her own matters.

Only when it was time to sleep would the two return to their bridal chamber together.

Du Bai's residence.

"Yesterday's Level 85 Soul Douluo Gift Pack actually gave me a pair of Saint of Thieves Gloves. I wonder what useful good stuff today's Level 83 Gift Pack will give me."

Du Bai looked at the pair of pure black gloves in the system's Storage Space, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

Just yesterday, after Du Bai successfully awakened his second martial soul, he had excitedly opened the newly acquired Level 85 Soul Douluo Gift Pack.

To his surprise, when he opened it, it was actually a pair of gloves.

At first, Du Bai could not understand why opening a gift pack had given him a pair of pure black leather gloves.

But as the system's description appeared, Du Bai's eyes gradually lit up.

This pair of pure black leather gloves was not as simple as it looked. It was a pair of Saint of Thieves Gloves capable of stealing Soul Power!

Have you all noticed that the contract status has been changed today? Hehehe. Please vote, and I'll be happy for most of the day. Good night, honored readers!
