The Direction of the Future

The Direction of the Future

"So, you somehow got the Thunderclap Nether Vine as your bonded soul spirit?" Leng Yao Zhu raised her lovely brows as she asked Qian Gu Huang Yu.

Since Qian Gu Huang Yu had remained inside and refused to come out, Qian Gu Dong Feng and the others did not dare knock on her door and disturb her. The four of them had waited from morning until night.

After Qian Gu Huang Yu came out, they exchanged a few simple questions before heading together to the Spirit Pagoda staff cafeteria for dinner and a small celebration banquet.

To celebrate the Spirit Transmission Five Young Masters all having Innate Full Soul Power. (Not really.)

Of course, more importantly, today was also Qian Gu Huang Yu's sixth birthday.

Although Qian Gu Dong Feng and Qian Gu Qing Feng were still somewhat at odds with each other, with Qian Gu Huang Yu acting as a buffer, their relationship had not become as tense and hostile as it had in the original story.

During the meal, Qian Gu Huang Yu naturally introduced her Martial Soul and soul spirit. Aside from concealing the fact that she could devour another's origin, she had essentially revealed all of her abilities.

After all, she would have to use them in front of others in the future, so there was nothing worth hiding.

Everyone congratulated and envied Qian Gu Huang Yu for obtaining the Thunderclap Nether Vine as her first soul spirit.

Soul spirits with Extreme Attributes were also known as Ultimate Soul Spirits. For Soul Masters whose Martial Soul attributes were not extreme, possessing an Ultimate Soul Spirit could elevate their Martial Soul into an Ultimate Martial Soul.

However, Ultimate Soul Spirits could not be artificially created and could only be transformed from soul beasts.

Thus, even Leng Yao Zhu and Leng Yulai, despite their noble backgrounds, had Fire Phoenix and Dark Phoenix as their respective first soul spirits. Though both were exceptionally outstanding soul spirits, they still fell slightly short of Ultimate Soul Spirits.

Qian Gu Huang Yu thanked everyone for their goodwill, then half-jokingly said to the somewhat silent Leng Yulai, "Xiao Leng, in the future, you and I can become Evil Soul Masters together!"

"Xiao Yu, why do you call my sister Sister Yao Zhu, but call me Xiao Leng? I'm obviously older than you, aren't I?" Leng Yulai complained upon hearing the difference in how she was addressed.

"You're only two weeks older than me. I'm not calling you Sister!" Qian Gu Huang Yu said with a smile.

As Qian Gu Huang Yu and Leng Yulai bickered, the entire table was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

After dinner, Qian Gu Huang Yu ignored the resentful look on her biological brother Qian Gu Dong Feng's face and called Qian Gu Qing Feng out alone for a talk.

"Big Brother, you're already twelve. You're old enough to apply to Shrek Academy. Have you thought about what you want to do for your Second Profession?" Qian Gu Huang Yu asked Qian Gu Qing Feng as she lounged comfortably on the sofa.

It might sound absurd, but because their families stood at such a high level, not only Qian Gu Dong Feng and Leng Yao Zhu, but even the eldest, Qian Gu Qing Feng, had yet to choose a Second Profession.

In the eyes of the Qian Gu Family and the Leng Family, children should focus on cultivating when they were young. As for forging battle armor and the like, the family could arrange everything for them. There was no need for the younger generation to worry about it themselves.

Therefore, aside from some Great Ones in Second Professions recruited from outside, only a small number of children who displayed the relevant talents at an early age received training in a Second Profession.

Qian Gu Qing Feng shook his head coldly. "No."

"In that case, how about you hear my suggestion?" Qian Gu Huang Yu said casually.

After communicating with her two brothers for all these years, Qian Gu Huang Yu had learned how to communicate with them. PUA, that was.

Qian Gu Dong Feng was a proud young master who looked down on the weak and was unaccustomed to expressing his feelings directly. Perhaps because they were closer by blood, though, he was more tolerant of her.

Qian Gu Qing Feng was a sensitive little hedgehog. Because his strength could not match his pride, he was extremely sensitive. Trying to talk to him in a preachy tone would definitely be a disaster, but occasionally yielding to him produced miraculous results.

Most importantly, Qian Gu Qing Feng always spoke his mind, unlike a certain someone who loved all those twists and turns.

"Go on." Qian Gu Qing Feng took the bait.

"Big Brother, do you want my brother to beg you for help every day in the future?"

Qian Gu Qing Feng's brows rose slightly. Being unable to surpass Qian Gu Dong Feng had always troubled him deeply. If there was an opportunity to make Qian Gu Dong Feng yield to him, Qian Gu Qing Feng naturally did not want to miss it.

Rather, he had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

"What should I do?"

Taking in Qian Gu Qing Feng's reaction, Qian Gu Huang Yu revealed a smile that said everything was under her control. When it came to boys in their adolescence competing with one another, all it took was a little guidance to lead things where she wanted.

"Big Brother, you know about battle armor, right? The most powerful battle armor is..."

"Four-word Battle Armor." Qian Gu Qing Feng sounded somewhat eager.

"Mhm. Then you should know why Four-word Battle Armor is so rare, right?" Qian Gu Huang Yu's voice was like a witch's whisper, leading an inexperienced youth toward the abyss of corruption.

"Divine Craftsmen!"

At that moment, Qian Gu Qing Feng understood everything. The Divine Craftsmen of the current age were already advanced in years. If he could become a Divine Craftsman, then in just a few years, he would be the only person on the entire Douluo Star capable of crafting Four-word Battle Armor.

Once that time came, would he still have to worry about Qian Gu Dong Feng refusing to bow his head?

Seeing that Qian Gu Qing Feng understood her meaning, Qian Gu Huang Yu gently patted his shoulder and smiled. "Since you understand, go do it. Time waits for no one."

With that, Qian Gu Huang Yu left. When it came to the path of one's life, she could only offer suggestions. The one who truly had to make up his mind and decide was Qian Gu Qing Feng himself. It would not be appropriate for her to disturb him further.

Even Feng Wuyu could learn forging after becoming a Titled Douluo and become a Saint Craftsman. With Big Brother's talent as a Limit Douluo, there's no reason he can't make it. Besides, it wasn't that he lacked potential before; he just lacked the motivation. After all, Big Brother was the kind of hardcore madman who could nearly fully develop his brain just by relying on the Holy Spirit Cult's leftover research materials.

Let Big Brother suffer a little more, then~

Without realizing it, Qian Gu Dong Feng had been sold out once again...

The office of the Tower Master of Spirit Transmission Tower.

Qian Gu Die Ting sat facing Bei Gong Li. However, this time, he, the Tower Master of Spirit Transmission Tower, was seated in the guest's chair.

"Those days really are nostalgic." Bei Gong Li sat casually in the chair that only the Tower Master of Spirit Transmission Tower could occupy. Looking up at the moonlight beyond the window, she casually sighed over the past.

"Father has already passed away. Mother, please restrain your grief." Qian Gu Die Ting said with feigned sorrow.

"Heh, I don't miss him. That wastrel actually gave someone soul bone carvings as birthday gifts," Bei Gong Li said impatiently, waving her hand.

Qian Gu Die Ting naturally knew that his mother was saying one thing while meaning another, but he did not expose her.

"Ah." Bei Gong Li sighed. "Let's not talk about the past. Although I don't like him, you are still my children after all."

"Sorry to trouble you, Mother." Qian Gu Die Ting naturally understood how dissatisfied Bei Gong Li was with him, her son.

Bei Gong Li's dissatisfaction with Qian Gu Die Ting was naturally not related to his cultivation. As Qian Gu Shi Long's only son, Qian Gu Die Ting had become a Titled Douluo at twenty-eight, a Super Douluo at forty-three, and entered the realm of Limit Douluo at fifty-six. Now seventy-two years old, he was still the youngest Limit Douluo on the continent.

In terms of cultivation alone, Qian Gu Die Ting had given Bei Gong Li nothing to be dissatisfied with.

What Bei Gong Li truly disliked was Qian Gu Die Ting's attitude toward emotions.

The first Holy Grail Summoning would begin tomorrow. Guess who would be summoned. Slides away smugly.
