Spirit Vulture Douluo

"That's right!"

"Whether it's true or not, Lord Aiers, you'll know once you test it!"

"However, Lord Aiers, your Soul Power Level is relatively high, so my First Soul Skill might not have much effect on you. It would be best to find a soul master or a Soul Grandmaster to test it!"

Gu Ziyi nodded firmly, looking entirely unafraid of scrutiny.

"Good, I'll make the arrangements at once!"

Aiers replied immediately upon hearing Gu Ziyi's words.

Aiers swiftly found a suitable soul master and had Gu Ziyi's First Soul Skill tested on the spot.

Aside from that soul master, he also had Gu Ziyi use the First Soul Skill on him.

Even if the effect might not be very noticeable, he wanted to experience it personally.

The result was naturally beyond doubt. Gu Ziyi's First Soul Skill truly had the effect of increasing cultivation speed.

"Good, good, good!"

"Gu Ziyi, your ability is exceptionally valuable. I've decided to report your situation to Spirit City and let those above decide how you should be arranged!"

Aiers said excitedly to Gu Ziyi.

"Alright!"

Naturally, Gu Ziyi had no objections.

Thus, Gu Ziyi temporarily stayed at the Spirit Hall Sub-Hall and waited for the final result.

As for whether Pope Qian Xunji would take notice of him, Gu Ziyi could not say for certain.

Though he was quite confident.

Spirit City, Pope's Hall.

A golden-haired man radiating majesty sat upon the Pope's throne, holding a report sent from a Sub-Hall within the Heaven Dou Empire.

"It can actually increase cultivation speed?"

"Interesting!"

"It truly is an ability worth nurturing. It's just a pity that his Innate Soul Power is only Rank 1. Who knows whether he'll even be able to break through to Soul Elder in the future!"

What Qian Xunji was reading was naturally Aiers's report.

Gu Ziyi's unique Soul Skill effect had indeed caught his attention.

However, Gu Ziyi's talent of merely Rank 1 Innate Soul Power also disappointed him somewhat.

"Still, his ability would indeed be of great help to Dong'er. Dong'er is currently in her golden period of growth, so being able to speed things up would naturally be even better!"

Just as Gu Ziyi had predicted, after learning of his ability, regardless of whether Qian Xunji thought much of Gu Ziyi's Rank 1 Innate Soul Power, the ability immediately made him think of his disciple, Bibi Dong.

"Order the Platinum Bishop of the Heaven Dou Saint Hall to go to the Sub-Hall and bring back the person named Gu Ziyi!"

"Also, investigate his past."

Qian Xunji quickly made his decision.

Gu Ziyi waited at the Sub-Hall for half a month.

Until the arrival of a woman—a woman dressed in the robes of a Platinum Bishop.

"Gu Ziyi, come over quickly. This is Bishop Li Chanfei, the Platinum Bishop of our Heaven Dou Saint Hall!"

After bringing Gu Ziyi to meet her, Aiers hurriedly introduced her.

"Greetings, Bishop Li Chanfei!"

Gu Ziyi bowed as he looked at her.

This Platinum Bishop named Li Chanfei had neat short hair and a seductive figure.

The Platinum Bishop robes of Spirit Hall gave her not only the holiness inherent to the attire, but also a hint of allure.

She looked to be only in her twenties.

Yet Gu Ziyi knew that she could not possibly be that young. She might even be a woman over fifty.

Because the Platinum Bishops stationed at the saint halls of the Two Great Empires were all powerful Soul Douluo, each above Rank 80.

At that level, they were naturally no longer young.

As for Titled Douluo above Rank 90, they no longer needed to manage Spirit Hall's mundane affairs. They would be directly promoted to elders of the Elder Hall.

"Alright, I'll be taking him with me!"

Li Chanfei nodded, then spoke to Aiers.

"Kid, come with me. I'm here to take you to Spirit City!"

Li Chanfei then said to Gu Ziyi before turning and walking away.

"I have no idea if the Pope took the wrong medicine, actually making a Platinum Bishop like me escort some brat!"

As she walked out, she did not forget to grumble about Pope Qian Xunji.

"Gu Ziyi, hurry up and follow Bishop Li Chanfei!"

Hearing her words, Aiers's mouth twitched slightly. He pretended not to hear and hurriedly spoke to Gu Ziyi.

"Yes, goodbye, Grandfather Aiers!"

Gu Ziyi nodded. After bidding Aiers farewell, he quickly caught up with Li Chanfei.

"Let's go. We won't take a carriage—it would waste too much time!"

Once they reached the entrance, Li Chanfei waved a hand. Her soul rings lit up, and a Blazing Fire Spirit Vulture formed entirely from flames appeared before them.

Then Gu Ziyi felt the back of his collar tighten, and Li Chanfei lifted him onto the Blazing Fire Spirit Vulture's back with a jump.

Flap~ Before Gu Ziyi could steady himself, the Blazing Fire Spirit Vulture spread its wings and took flight, carrying Li Chanfei and Gu Ziyi swiftly out of the city.

The future Spirit Vulture Douluo?

After Gu Ziyi steadied himself, he looked at the Blazing Fire Spirit Vulture beneath his feet and quietly made his guess.

Among Spirit Hall's elders was a female Titled Douluo whose martial soul was the Blazing Fire Spirit Vulture.

Thus, Gu Ziyi suspected that this Platinum Bishop named Li Chanfei was the future Spirit Vulture Douluo.

Thinking back to how she had dared to complain about Qian Xunji just now, she likely possessed such pride because of her considerable talent.

Still, becoming a Titled Douluo was something for the future. At present, she was merely a Soul Douluo.

Standing atop the Blazing Fire Spirit Vulture, Gu Ziyi saw that Li Chanfei in front of him clearly had no desire to speak, perhaps because she had no interest in dealing with a weak soul master like him.

Gu Ziyi was equally patient. He said nothing and simply stood on the Blazing Fire Spirit Vulture's back, admiring the scenery from the sky.

This was Gu Ziyi's first time experiencing flight while standing in midair, and it truly felt entirely different.

Looking down from the sky, every kind of scenery seemed exceptionally beautiful.

"Brat, when you were at Heaven Treasure Academy, you seemed to have a rather good relationship with two female classmates, didn't you? The two girls named Tang Yuehua and Bai Lu!"

As Gu Ziyi admired the scenery, Li Chanfei finally spoke. The moment she did, she asked about Gu Ziyi's time at Heaven Treasure Academy.

Before coming to fetch Gu Ziyi, she had already gone to Heaven Treasure Academy to learn some details about him.

As for Gu Ziyi's past at Quicksand Academy in the duchy, she had already learned about that as well.

There had been no issues with Gu Ziyi at Quicksand Academy. His background was clean, and he was the child of commoners.

What surprised her was that the two female classmates Gu Ziyi had met at Heaven Treasure Academy were actually from the Clear Sky Sect.

It was only while investigating Gu Ziyi that she learned two people from the Clear Sky Sect had come to the small Heaven Treasure Academy.

"Yes, Bishop Li Chanfei."

Gu Ziyi's heart tightened slightly when he heard that. He had not expected her to investigate him.

But when he remembered that he had not joined the Clear Sky Sect, he relaxed again.

"Then do you know their identities?"
