Li Chang'an's Report...

"Enough. Since there are no objections, Li Chang'an is provisionally chosen as the Holy Son. Li Chang'an, you have one year to prove yourself. At that time, you will become the Holy Son officially recognized by Spirit Hall!"

Bibi Dong's authoritative voice rang out from the Papal Hall behind them, echoing across the grounds and instantly silencing all discussion. Still, everyone's gaze swept over Li Chang'an to varying degrees.

Some were surprised, some jealous, and some offered congratulations...

Just as everyone was preparing to leave, Li Chang'an suddenly heard Bibi Dong's voice transmission: "Come find me!"

Naturally, Li Chang'an did not dare refuse. Besides, he had been hoping for this. Making up an excuse while the situation was still chaotic, he plunged straight into the Papal Hall.

Inside the great hall, Bibi Dong sat in the main seat, with Chrysanthemum Douluo standing beside her.

When he saw Li Chang'an enter, Chrysanthemum Douluo first raised his brows at him and gave him an encouraging smile. Bibi Dong, however, looked at Li Chang'an with some displeasure.

"It's true that possessing a Soul Core lets you recover Soul Power quickly, and it's true that your Soul Power is abundant. But did I ever tell you that you could run it beyond its limits? Do you have any idea how unstable your Soul Core is now?" Bibi Dong immediately gave Li Chang'an a fierce scolding, but she did not seem truly angry. She seemed more worried than anything else.

"I'm sorry, Teacher. I was wrong." Li Chang'an immediately bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle, sincerely admitting his mistake without resisting or explaining himself.

That was Li Chang'an's way of dealing with people. He had clearly made a mistake, and the other person was concerned for him, yet if he still shamelessly argued back, he would simply be making trouble for no reason. Besides, Li Chang'an could not reason with women anyway.

Moreover, his condition truly was not good. Having one Soul Core spin continuously had indeed pushed it beyond its limits. Without an expert's help, he would definitely suffer lasting damage.

"Sigh, come to my room. I'll help you regulate yourself again." Seeing Li Chang'an like this, Bibi Dong did not continue reprimanding him. She let out a faint sigh and walked out of the hall.

Li Chang'an hurriedly greeted the two Titled Douluo, then immediately followed after her.

Honestly, he missed that bed quite a bit. He wondered whether there would be any exciting little clothes today...

Clearly, Bibi Dong's bed was very clean today, without the slightest surprise waiting for him. Still, Li Chang'an thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the bed while Bibi Dong regulated his body and stabilized his Soul Core.

It had to be said that Bibi Dong's strength was terrifying. As her Soul Power forcefully intervened, Li Chang'an's Soul Core quickly stabilized, and Li Chang'an let out a series of satisfied sounds.

"Ah, mm, hn..."

It was not that Li Chang'an was being delicate. Bibi Dong was genuinely making him feel incredibly good, practically comparable to...

"Chang'an, to be honest, you really surprised Teacher this time. Don't try to show off in situations like this again. Just do your best," Bibi Dong said from behind him.

"Compared to the position of Holy Son, Teacher is more worried about your body and foundation. Do you understand?"

If Bibi Dong had initially accepted Li Chang'an as her disciple because of his Twin Martial Souls, then after two months together, she had truly begun to regard him as family.

She had received plenty of care and eaten all manner of delicacies, but from Li Chang'an, she felt sincerity...

"I'm sorry, Teacher. I won't make you worry again." Seizing the opportunity, Li Chang'an turned around and rested his head against Bibi Dong's soft thigh, looking up at her with eyes full of innocence.

Bibi Dong had been somewhat surprised at first, but after Li Chang'an lay on her lap, she found that she did not feel repulsed. Instead, she gently stroked Li Chang'an's head, like a mother.

"I only wanted to prove that I'm no worse than anyone else. I'll work even harder in the future and protect you, Teacher. Whoever dares hurt you will have to step over my body first!" Li Chang'an said seriously as he looked into Bibi Dong's eyes.

"Alright. Teacher will wait for you to protect me." Bibi Dong's heart warmed. She continued gently stroking Li Chang'an's head as she spoke softly.

After returning home, Li Chang'an did not waste a moment. He found a stack of special writing paper, picked up his pen, and began to write.

"Several Directions for the Sustainable Development of Spirit Hall!"

That was right. Li Chang'an had no intention of spending a year proving himself. That was far too slow. He wanted to strike while the iron was hot and use this document to prove himself!

Since he had already drawn attention, he might as well be even bolder. At worst, he could restrain himself a little in the future.

It was indeed somewhat early for Li Chang'an to bring up these ideas now, but he did not want to wait another eight or ten years. Besides, Spirit Hall could not afford to wait either. He might as well bring out some real substance.

Li Chang'an had seen many reports of this level in his previous life. Combined with his knowledge of the plot developments of Douluo Continent over the next thirty thousand years, drafting a practical development report based on reality was not difficult.

For example, regarding the common people, Li Chang'an proposed the idea of coming from the people and returning to the people. In addition to continuing to help commoners undergo Martial Soul Awakening, the soul masters stationed at Spirit Hall's various branches needed to lower themselves and go among ordinary people.

This could range from helping lonely elderly people, to aiding civilians in removing soul masters who endangered their lives and Soul Beasts that had wandered into villages, to occasionally visiting villages to give lectures...

At first glance, doing so seemed to bring no benefits. Yet after several years, once Spirit Hall sought to found a nation, the number of people it could recruit would undoubtedly be enormous. Moreover, the people of the Two Great Empires would be too ashamed to fight Spirit Hall, directly weakening the foundations of the Two Great Empires!

Of course, this was merely a small measure. On the matter of the common people alone, Li Chang'an wrote a full five pages, treating it as the highest priority!

For example, in military matters, Li Chang'an emphasized allocating dedicated research funds and establishing research institutes to study soul devices, investing heavily without fearing failure.

This report took a full five days to write. When Li Chang'an submitted it, Bibi Dong spent an entire day reading it.

Some of the things in it were already being done by Bibi Dong, while others had never occurred to her at all. Yet Li Chang'an's report was like a summary, systematically laying out many of her ideas and leaving Bibi Dong so impressed that she slapped the table in admiration!

The next day, Bibi Dong personally went to the Hall of Elders to meet Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder.

After that, Spirit Hall convened its highest-level meeting. No one knew what was discussed there, but Li Chang'an was specifically summoned to participate in part of it. He answered several questions and showed everyone what the word genius truly meant! At the same time, his position as Holy Son was officially confirmed!

After that, an underground research institute began to be secretly established beneath the Tianhun Great Forest, while certain policies quietly began pilot implementation...
