War God Hall Master and Sea God Pavilion Master

War God Hall Master and Sea God Pavilion Master

"What are you trying to do?" Qian Gu Die Ting did not ask how the Angel Martial Soul Second Awakening was performed. That was the Holy Angel Family's highest secret and could not possibly be revealed to outsiders.

Seeing that he had regained the initiative, Le Jing Chen was in high spirits. Smiling, he said, "This old man intends to take that child back to the Holy Angel Family, then perform the Martial Soul Second Awakening ritual for her."

"I have to go with her. You never intended to keep that child in the first place. Who knows what you might do to her after taking her back? As her master, I must accompany her throughout and protect her. Once the Martial Soul Second Awakening is complete, I'll bring her back."

Seeing Qian Gu Die Ting still bringing up how his messages had been read but ignored, Le Jing Chen said displeasedly, "That's impossible. Le Qian Xue will not be going back with you. No one understands how to teach a Soul Master with an Angel Martial Soul better than this old man."

"Le Jing Chen, I am her master!"

"Qian Gu Die Ting, you will regret this!"

Just as the atmosphere between Qian Gu Die Ting and Le Jing Chen dropped to freezing point, a burst of laughter broke the silence.

"Brother Qian Gu, don't be so rigid! Even if you are her master, that doesn't stop her from finding other teachers!"

As soon as the words fell, golden light flashed, and two men appeared together before Qian Gu Die Ting.

Qian Gu Die Ting looked at the two newcomers, a trace of wariness flashing through his eyes.

The one who had just spoken was Heavenly Favor Douluo Beddon, the Sea God Pavilion Master standing in front. The man behind Beddon made Qian Gu Die Ting feel immense pressure.

The man standing behind Beddon had an ancient, rugged face, a hooked nose, and a pair of sharp eyes.

On his shoulders were no fewer than five general's stars.

A Federation General!

The man was Yu Hao Sheng, father of Divine Brush Douluo Yu Guan Zhi, teacher of Vast Sea Douluo Chen Xin Jie, commander of the Central Legion, the current Hall Master of the War God Hall, wielder of the Floating Life Painting World Brush Martial Soul, titled Floating Life, a Level 99 Limit Douluo Quasi-God, and a Four-word Battle Armor Master.

He was also one of the Federation's three great generals, renowned alongside Heaven's Punishment Douluo Bei Gong Li.

With authority over both the Central Legion, the Sun Moon Federation Army's strongest legion, and the War God Hall, it would not be an exaggeration to call Yu Hao Sheng the military's foremost figure.

Even Qian Gu Die Ting felt pressure when facing three Quasi-Gods at once.

Who would have thought that such a small office would gather the leaders of three great powers—the Tower Master of Spirit Transmission Tower, the Hall Master of the War God Hall, and the Sea God Pavilion Master? Aside from the Tang Sect Master, the Federation's four great powers were essentially all assembled.

Of course, it was not that the Tang Sect did not want to come, but that it had no suitable identity under which to do so. Shrek was an academy, the War God Hall represented the Federation authorities, while the Tang Sect occupied the same position as Spirit Pagoda: both were Soul Master organizations.

Even if Le Qian Xue dared to leave Spirit Pagoda and join the Tang Sect, would the Tang Sect dare to accept her? If she could leave an organization whenever she pleased, how could they guarantee her loyalty?

Qian Gu Die Ting looked grimly at Beddon. "Brother Beddon, what do you mean by this? Everyone on the Douluo Continent knows that a Soul Master can only acknowledge one teacher in their lifetime. Your Shrek has built its foundation upon teaching and imparting knowledge, yet you do not even care about this?"

Beddon was not angered and merely smiled. "Brother Qian Gu, that is not quite right. Ancestor Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao once took Tang Ya, the Tang Sect Master of that time, as his teacher. Later, he studied Soul Tools under Fan Yu, the vice dean of Shrek Academy's Soul Tool Department at the time. Afterward, he took Dragon God Douluo Mu En, the Sea God Pavilion Master, as his teacher. Has anyone ever called Spirit Ice Douluo a servant of three masters?"

"You!" Qian Gu Die Ting could not help but become furious, but Huo Yuhao was also Spirit Pagoda's founder, so he could not say anything.

Yu Hao Sheng frowned slightly, waved his hand impatiently, and said in a deep voice, "Die Ting, you surely understand why we came. This old man will not waste words. You are Le Qian Xue's master, and this old man acknowledges that. But I hope she can join the War God Hall in the future and contribute to protecting the Federation."

Qian Gu Die Ting's expression shifted unpredictably. How could he fail to hear that Yu Hao Sheng was using the greater cause of the Federation to pressure him?

Beddon also smiled from the side. "This old man also acknowledges that you are Le Qian Xue's master. However, I hope Le Qian Xue can study at Shrek Academy. She is a child, after all. It is never a bad thing for her to get to know more people her own age."

Le Jing Chen looked unfavorably at Beddon and Yu Hao Sheng. How had the two of them formed a united front so quickly?

In the end, Le Jing Chen sighed. "Fine, this old man will take a step back as well. I acknowledge the master-disciple relationship between you and Le Qian Xue, but Le Qian Xue must be brought back to the Holy Angel Family by this old man to complete her Martial Soul Second Awakening and the rest of her training."

Looking at the three Old Foxes before him, Qian Gu Die Ting suddenly felt that taking over as Tower Master of Spirit Transmission Tower at too young an age was troublesome. There was no helping it—his seniority was too low, and he lacked confidence when speaking to these old fellows.

Just as Qian Gu Die Ting was at his wits' end, a cool voice rang out beside everyone's ears.

"Rather than discussing this back and forth, why not hear the child's own thoughts? It is her future. More than anyone else, she has the right to decide."

As soon as the words fell, a woman in a blue-purple gown appeared out of thin air before them.

"Mother?" Qian Gu Die Ting cried out. Then a flash of delight appeared in his eyes. With Bei Gong Li, a Quasi-God, holding the field, Qian Gu Die Ting immediately found his backbone.

At the same time, Qian Gu Die Ting inwardly lamented his own lack of strength. If Qian Gu Shi Long had been here, there would not have been this situation where he had already made a plan, yet could not carry it out under the pressure of three Quasi-Gods.

Facing Bei Gong Li, Beddon, the Sea God Pavilion Master, Yu Hao Sheng, the Hall Master of the War God Hall, and Le Jing Chen, commander of the Southern Legion, all wore a trace of solemnity on their faces.

Faced with Bei Gong Li, this top Great One who had once commanded the Federation's most elite Blood God Legion, they did not dare press too hard.

After all, their outstanding juniors had all gone to train in the Blood God Legion and had all received Bei Gong Li's favor. One could hardly be ungrateful after accepting another's kindness.

Moreover, as the only Level 12 Soul Master of the current era, Bei Gong Li was truly the sort of formidable person who could craft Level 12 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannonballs by hand as long as she had sufficient resources.

"Fine, then call Le Qian Xue over and ask what she herself thinks!" In the end, Beddon and the other two exchanged glances, and Beddon spoke on behalf of them all.

Then Qian Ren Xue came in and saw a room full of Great Ones.

Seeing Qian Ren Xue enter, Qian Gu Die Ting smiled and waved to her, signaling for her to come to his side.

Everyone looked at Qian Ren Xue, satisfaction appearing in their eyes. They could all see just how extraordinary Qian Ren Xue's talent was.

Bei Gong Li gently stroked Qian Ren Xue's head and said warmly, "Don't be afraid. They will not harm you."

Then Bei Gong Li introduced Yu Hao Sheng and the others to Qian Ren Xue one by one.

When she introduced Beddon, Qian Ren Xue blurted out, "Isn't he the one who got utterly crushed by the Underworld King Douluo?"
