Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's confirmation, even someone as composed as Golden Crocodile Douluo could not help but feel shocked. A God-level Martial Soul! This was truly the most powerful Martial Soul on the continent today, yet another one had appeared!

Golden Crocodile Douluo and Qian Daoliu were no ordinary people. After a moment of surprise, they quickly regained their composure.

"Big Brother, since that person has been taken in as Bibi Dong's disciple, should we..." Killing intent surged in Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes. The several Enshrinements had always been in a competitive relationship with the Pope's Palace—or perhaps rivals was a more fitting description. They revered Qian Daoliu, while Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong were at odds with each other, making the conflict between the two sides obvious.

Now that Bibi Dong had accepted a disciple with a God-level Martial Soul, he would undoubtedly become a major threat to their side. That was why Golden Crocodile Douluo had developed murderous intent.

Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment before shaking his head. "There's no need. The conflict between Bibi Dong and us is merely the conflict between her and me. There's no need to drag others into it. Besides, that child has a God-level Martial Soul! If he grows up, he will undoubtedly be a great asset to our Spirit Hall. There is no need for us to do something that weakens our own strength. Not only would that drive Bibi Dong completely into opposition against us and cause internal turmoil within Spirit Hall, but it would also let the two great empires and those sects reap the benefits. There is no need for us to do such a thing."

"Mm, Big Brother, you're right. I was too rash." Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded as well. No matter what, that child belonged to Spirit Hall. There was no need to let outsiders benefit because of their internal struggles. Only fools would do that.

"However, I am rather interested in this child's God-level Martial Soul. It seems I'll have to find time to meet him." Qian Daoliu spoke with a smile. He was indeed intrigued by this God-level Martial Soul and wanted to see what rank of god it belonged to. He knew a little about the classifications of gods in the God Realm. For example, the Angel God and the Sea God worshipped on Sea God Island were both first-class gods. Therefore, he wanted to see what class this newly emerged God-level Martial Soul belonged to.

"By the way, what is that child's name? We've talked for so long, yet I still don't know what he's called," Qian Daoliu said.

"I heard his name is Long Yun," Golden Crocodile Douluo replied.

"Long Yun? Not a bad name." Qian Daoliu suddenly recalled something. "What was the second matter you came for today?"

"Oh, the second matter is that Bibi Dong intends to convene the Martial Soul Hall Highest Level Meeting tomorrow. All elders are required to attend!" Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression turned serious.

"Hmm? Why convene a meeting of this level so suddenly?" Qian Daoliu's expression grew solemn as well. He asked in a low voice, "Has something major happened in Spirit Hall recently?" He could not be blamed for thinking so. Such a high-level meeting would never be held unless something significant had occurred.

"I don't know either. When Yue Guan came to notify me, he only said that the highest-level meeting would be held tomorrow at the usual time. He did not say what it was about." Golden Crocodile Douluo shook his head.

"What exactly is Bibi Dong trying to do?" Qian Daoliu frowned. In the past, when such a meeting was announced, the reason for it would be stated. Yet this time...

"Forget it. We'll wait until tomorrow and see," Qian Daoliu said, shaking his head.

"Mm." Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded. All they could do now was wait until tomorrow.

After Golden Crocodile Douluo left the hall, Qian Daoliu kept his gaze fixed in the direction outside. "Is it because of that Long Yun?" he murmured. She had accepted a disciple with a God-level Martial Soul today, and tomorrow she was convening the highest-level meeting. There had to be a connection between the two.

Spirit Hall's elders were also thrown into an uproar by this highest-level meeting. Everyone was puzzled as to why it had suddenly been called, while also feeling a faint sense of unease. Holding such a meeting meant that something major had happened.

Soul Hunting Forest, more than two hundred li from Spirit City.

Beside a campfire, Long Yun and Du Busi sat on a large rock, staring intently at the wolf leg roasting over the flames. Its surface had turned slightly golden, and an enticing aroma wafted from it. Long Yun could not help swallowing as he smelled it. He looked at the wolf leg as though it were a peerless beauty, wishing he could pounce on it immediately.

"Old Poison, this should be ready now, right?" Long Yun asked tentatively, his eyes never leaving the wolf leg. Over this period, his useless stomach had growled who knew how many times. He was so hungry that stars were nearly appearing before his eyes. Faced with the tempting wolf leg before him, he truly could not endure any longer.

"Well..." Du Busi held the wooden skewer and turned the wolf leg over. After looking it over and deciding that it was about done, he nodded. Before he could say anything, however, he felt a hand seize the skewer. A powerful tug followed, and the skewer holding the wolf leg was instantly snatched from his hand.

Du Busi could not help but smile at the sight. The young master really had been driven frantic by hunger, so impatient that he could not wait another moment. Du Busi had not put any force into the hand holding the skewer. Otherwise, even if Long Yun activated his Martial Soul and attacked with all his strength, he would not have been able to take it from him.

The moment Long Yun snatched the wolf leg, he began ravenously tearing into one of the pieces, looking as though he had not eaten in several lifetimes. Before roasting it, Long Yun had suggested cutting the enormous wolf leg into five or six smaller pieces. That made it easier to eat and easier for the two of them to divide. He was not selfish enough to only feed himself and leave nothing for Du Busi. Though Du Busi might not be hungry, he still could not eat alone.

Long Yun could hardly be blamed for eating like this. The battle just now had consumed far too much of his Soul Power, leaving him utterly exhausted and with barely any strength left in his body. On top of that, he truly had not eaten for nearly an entire day. After having breakfast with Hu Liena in the morning, he had awakened his Martial Soul, then come here to obtain a Soul Ring. After several hours of travel, where had he found the time to eat? He had not felt hungry before, but after the battle, the hunger surged out like a gushing spring, leaving him famished and feeling as though his entire body had been hollowed out. He desperately needed to replenish his strength, which was why he ate so hurriedly.

"Young Master, slow down! No one's going to fight you for it," Du Busi said with a laugh as he watched Long Yun.

"Mmph, mmph..." Long Yun's mouth was stuffed full of roasted meat, making whatever he wanted to say completely unintelligible. After wolfing down food for a while, his stomach seemed to have temporarily suppressed its hunger, and his movements gradually slowed. He held the roasted meat out before Du Busi and said with a smile, "Old Poison, have some too."

"This old man isn't hungry. You should eat it, Young Master," Du Busi refused. He truly was not hungry right now, and whether he ate or not made no difference. It would be better to let the young master eat it all, especially when he was starving so badly.

"Hey, Old Poison, eat some with me! I can't finish this much by myself, so don't let it go to waste. Besides, how could eating alone be as satisfying as eating with two people?" Long Yun said with a smile.

Seeing the sincerity on Long Yun's face, Du Busi did not refuse again. He had always been forthright by nature, so he directly took a large piece of roasted meat and began eating. "That's more like it," Long Yun said, then started gnawing away again.

The old man and the youth ate together like this, chatting constantly as they did. Long Yun mainly asked Du Busi about Martial Souls. He still did not understand much about them, so he was extremely curious and kept asking Du Busi all sorts of questions. Du Busi himself was a Level 98 Super Douluo, and among those at Level 98, it would likely be difficult to find anyone who could match him. Even ordinary Limit Douluo could fight him.

That was because his Soul Ring configuration was truly somewhat monstrous. This nearly abnormal Soul Ring configuration gave Du Busi an enormous boost in combat strength, enough to grant him the foundation to contend with Limit Douluo. His Soul Ring configuration was yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, red, red, red. He had no fewer than three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings. What did that mean? It meant he possessed at least three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones. It meant that when he reached Level 70, his physical strength had already reached the level of a Titled Douluo. It meant that, like Tang San in the original work, he possessed the ability to absorb a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring at Level 70. In a sense, his talent was even more outstanding than Tang San's in the original work. He simply did not possess Twin Martial Souls.

If Tang San had not inherited the Sea God and Asura God's legacies, his future achievements might not necessarily have surpassed Du Busi's. But there were no ifs in this world.

Therefore, receiving guidance from such a Super Douluo would undoubtedly be of immense help to Long Yun.
