The Seven Great Worships of Spirit Hall

"Tang Feng, right?"

Tang Feng nodded.

He neither bent at the waist nor bowed, merely saying:

"Greetings, Great Enshrined."

Qian Daoliu did not mind. It was only natural for a genius to have a flamboyant personality.

"Mm."

"You managed to persuade Xiao Xue to devote herself to cultivation and got her to agree to so many of your demands. That speaks to your ability."

"As long as Xiao Xue is willing, I won't stand in your way."

Just as Qian Daoliu was about to say something else, Qian Renxue pushed open the heavy doors, but she did not walk straight in.

Instead, she dropped to her knees with a thud. Tears instantly streamed down her usually aloof face, and her voice choked up.

"Grandpa, I'm back!"

"Sigh..."

With a soft sigh, Qian Daoliu took one step and crossed the entire hall in an instant, arriving before Qian Renxue.

"I'm glad you're back."

Qian Renxue got up and threw herself into Qian Daoliu's arms, tears and snot running down her face as she wept with the grievance of it all.

Qian Daoliu gently stroked the back of Qian Renxue's head and comforted her:

"It's just as well you're not going undercover to usurp a kingdom."

"Devote yourself to cultivation. Once your strength reaches a point where no one can match you, you'll have everything."

"Mm..." Qian Renxue murmured through her nose.

She wiped away her tears and cleaned the snot from her nose in Qian Daoliu's arms before looking up at him and asking:

"Grandpa, about the arrangements for Xiao Feng..."

"I agree to all of them. But you must cultivate diligently, just as you promised Grandpa before."

"Mm! I definitely will! Thank you, Grandpa!"

Qian Renxue let go of Qian Daoliu and came over to Tang Feng:

"Sorry to have kept you waiting here so long, little brother Xiao Feng."

Tang Feng shook his head. It was his first time seeing Qian Renxue all teary-eyed. She was very cute.

"It's all right. Where are we going next?"

"I'll show you around Pope Hall first."

Under Qian Daoliu's watch, Qian Renxue led Tang Feng out of the hall.

"You've already met Spirit Hall's Great Enshrined, my grandfather. Next, we'll meet the Second Worship."

The Soul Masters enshrined in the Worship Hall were all above level 95. They were immensely powerful and rarely left the Worship Hall unless a major event threatened Spirit Hall's safety.

The Second Worship, Golden Crocodile Douluo, had not left the Worship Hall in over forty years.

"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, I've come to see you."

The door swung open, and a bloody, murderous presence hit them in the face.

Its force was so fierce that Tang Feng could not open his eyes.

Damn it, he's trying to put me in my place.

But your horse isn't wild enough!

Not to be outdone, Tang Feng unleashed his Conqueror's Haki.

A kingly Haki burst from Tang Feng's body and met Golden Crocodile Douluo's bloody, murderous presence head-on.

The two invisible forces crashed together, whipping up waves of air that kept Qian Renxue from opening her eyes to see. She had to raise a hand to shield them.

So strong!

Qian Renxue was stunned. Back at the Great Soul Arena, Tang Feng had said that even though she was over level 40, she was no match for him.

At the time, Qian Renxue had thought he was saying it to encourage himself, but now it seemed that was not the case at all.

Tang Feng's strength was beyond her imagination.

His true strength was probably greater than hers!

"Hahaha!"

A hearty, rough laugh rang out from inside the hall, and Golden Crocodile Douluo's pressure vanished with it.

"Good lad!"

"You've got some strength!"

"Your Soul Power is only in the twenties, yet you can match my pressure. No wonder you're the one who got Xiao Xue to offer such humiliating terms!"

"Come in!"

The moment Golden Crocodile Douluo's pressure lifted, Qian Renxue hurried to Tang Feng's side to check on him.

After all, Tang Feng was only a Soul Grandmaster who did not even have three rings. In Qian Renxue's eyes, he must have paid a tremendous price to withstand the pressure of Grandpa Golden Crocodile, a Level 98 Titled Douluo.

"Xiao Feng, you're not hurt, are you?"

Qian Renxue ran her hands over Tang Feng, checking his body.

"No, Sister Xiao Xue. I'm actually very strong."

"If you don't believe me, look."

As he spoke, Tang Feng hopped a few times, then casually threw a few punches and kicks.

Seeing that Tang Feng really did not look injured, Qian Renxue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good. Really, Grandpa Golden Crocodile doesn't know how to hold back." Qian Renxue's tone was reproachful.

Inside the room, Golden Crocodile scratched his head with a wry smile.

"Xiao Xue, at least save Grandpa some face. The door's still open."

Qian Renxue and Tang Feng entered the hall and saw Golden Crocodile Douluo sitting atop a huge bone structure that appeared to be a crocodile skull.

"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, it's been a long time. I'm back," Qian Renxue greeted him.

Golden Crocodile jumped down from the enormous crocodile skull and came over to the two of them.

"Mm, it's good to have you back. Grandpa missed you terribly."

Golden Crocodile reached out and patted Qian Renxue on the head.

"If you ask me, you should've come back long ago. When that old fellow Qian Daoliu said he was sending you to the Heaven Dou Empire for some bullshit plan to usurp the kingdom, I was against it a thousand times over."

"With a talent as great as yours, going undercover in the Heaven Dou Empire was a complete waste of your youth and talent."

Qian Renxue felt a little helpless at Golden Crocodile's unrestrained tongue. Although he was only the Second Worship, he was actually quite a bit older than her grandfather.

Even if he occasionally spoke ill of Qian Daoliu, no one dared punish him.

"But thank goodness for you, lad." Golden Crocodile turned to Tang Feng.

"Tang Feng, right? Good strength, good talent, good character!"

"All in all, you're a fine young man. I have high hopes for you."

"I'm entrusting Xiao Xue to you. If I ever hear that you've treated her badly, don't blame this old man for turning on you and disowning you!"

"Don't worry, Grandpa Golden Crocodile. I'll treat Xiao Xue well and never let her suffer the slightest harm!" Tang Feng vowed solemnly.

Qian Renxue felt rather helpless watching the old man and the boy play off each other.

He hasn't even grown all his hair yet, and he wants to treat me well? People would laugh their teeth out if they heard that.

"Mm, that's more like it. Go on, then!"

"This old man still has to cultivate." Golden Crocodile turned and walked toward his crocodile head.

"Goodbye, Grandpa Golden Crocodile." Qian Renxue bowed in farewell.

Golden Crocodile merely waved a hand, then flew to the top of the crocodile head and resumed cultivating.

The two left the Second Worship's hall, and its doors closed automatically behind them.

Afterward, Tang Feng also met the Worship Hall's Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Worships.

All seven Worships of the Worship Hall were loyal to the Angel Clan and willing to brave life and death for it.

After meeting the seven great Worships, Tang Feng's position in Spirit Hall could be considered thoroughly secure.

Even Bibi Dong would have to weigh the seven Worships standing behind him.

Spirit Hall, Pope Hall's council chamber.

Bibi Dong frowned slightly as she read the letter about Tang Feng sent by her subordinate.

"Xiao Xue actually offered such generous terms to win him over."

"She even has to offer herself to him!"

"Bastard!"

"Hm?"

"Level 28 Soul Power at such a young age!"

Bibi Dong was shocked. That was terrifying.

The three most talented members of Spirit Hall's younger generation currently had Soul Power of only level 25 or 26.

Tang Feng was nearly five years younger than them, yet his Soul Power was already at level 28.

Such talent was simply unheard of.

To a certain extent, it even surpassed Xiao Xue's Innate Level 20 Soul Power.

After all, Xiao Xue had only been around level 24 at his age.

He was worthy of Xiao Xue.

Only his character remained open to question.
