Seven Great Offerings

The next day, early morning.

A ray of sunlight streamed through the window and fell across the bed.

Feeling the warmth of the sunlight, Ye Xi slowly opened her eyes. After stretching, she felt completely refreshed.

Checking the time, Ye Xi got out of bed and leisurely went to wash up.

Just as she finished washing up, someone knocked on the door, and Qian Daoliu's voice sounded from outside.

"Xiao Xi, are you up?"

"If you are, Grandpa will take you to breakfast first."

Hearing Qian Daoliu's voice, Ye Xi walked to the door and opened it.

"Grandpa, I just finished washing up."

Looking at Qian Daoliu before her, Ye Xi could not help but reveal a faint smile.

"Come on, Grandpa will take you to breakfast."

Qian Daoliu spoke softly, then led Ye Xi out of the Hotel.

The two walked along the bustling street, surrounded on both sides by vendors calling out their wares.

Ye Xi's little nose twitched, and her sapphire blue eyes brightened as her gaze locked onto a stall selling steamed buns.

"Xiao Xi, do you want to eat that?"

Following Ye Xi's gaze, Qian Daoliu raised a hand and pointed at the stall ahead.

"Mm, it smells pretty good."

Ye Xi looked at the stall and nodded gently.

"Then let's give it a try."

Qian Daoliu brought Ye Xi to the stall, ordered five meat buns and two bowls of porridge, then sat down in front of it.

Ye Xi took a bite of a bun. Finding it quite tasty, she happily began eating.

Of the five buns, Ye Xi ate two while Qian Daoliu ate three. Once they were full, they returned to the entrance of the Hotel and boarded their carriage.

The carriage set off toward Spirit City.

Time gradually passed.

Four days later.

Spirit City.

A carriage stopped in front of Papal Hall. Qian Daoliu and Ye Xi stepped out, but they did not linger at Papal Hall and instead went directly back to Worship Hall.

The moment she entered Worship Hall, Ye Xi saw three people seated on each side of the great hall.

They were: Second Worship Golden Crocodile Douluo, martial soul: Golden Crocodile King, a level ninety-eight Peak Douluo.

Third Offering Azure Luan Douluo, martial soul: Azure Luan, a level ninety-seven Peak Douluo.

Fourth Offering Lionmaster Douluo, martial soul: Blazing Lionmaster, a level ninety-six Peak Douluo.

Fifth Worship Light Feather Douluo, martial soul: Light Feather Divine Bow, a level ninety-six Peak Douluo.

Sixth Offering Thousand Jun Douluo, martial soul: Coiling Dragon Staff, a level ninety-six Peak Douluo.

Seventh Offering Subduing Demon Douluo, martial soul: Coiling Dragon Staff, a level ninety-six Peak Douluo.

"Big Brother..."

The six offerings all rose to their feet and turned their gazes toward Qian Daoliu.

"Mm, sit down."

Qian Daoliu took Ye Xi's hand and walked to the very front of the hall, taking his seat in the place of honor.

"Golden Crocodile should have already told you all about it."

"Xiao Xi is very talented. When you have the time, I'll have to trouble you to guide her."

As he spoke, Qian Daoliu gently stroked Ye Xi's hair.

"Big Brother, Golden Crocodile has already told us everything."

"We've watched Xiao Xi grow up as well. Whenever we have time, we will naturally teach her properly."

Third Offering Azure Luan spoke as he looked toward Ye Xi, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

"Xiao Xi, now that you've awakened your martial soul, I, as an elder, should give you a gift."

A beautifully designed bracelet appeared in Azure Luan's hand. After handing it to Ye Xi, he continued, "Xiao Xi, this is a Storage Soul Tool. The space inside is more than enough for your daily needs."

Ye Xi accepted the bracelet from Azure Luan, and a radiant smile bloomed on her face.

"Thank you, Grandpa Azure Luan. I really like it."

Ye Xi put the bracelet on her wrist and examined it briefly, feeling very satisfied.

There was no other reason—it was truly beautiful, and exceptionally practical as well.

"Xiao Xi, as an Assault System Soul Master, having too weak a physique simply won't do."

"As it happens, I've studied physique training quite extensively. From now on, you'll train your body with me in the mornings."

Golden Crocodile looked at Ye Xi and spoke softly.

His martial soul was the Golden Crocodile King, so he was exceptionally skilled in Body Tempering.

"Then leave Combat Experience to Lionmaster, Light Feather, Thousand Jun, Subduing Demon, and me."

Fourth Offering Lionmaster pointed at himself, then at Fifth Worship Light Feather, Sixth Offering Thousand Jun, and Seventh Offering Subduing Demon.

Light Feather and the other two also nodded lightly.

"Strategy is important too. Golden Crocodile will teach you Body Tempering in the morning, I will teach you strategy in the late morning, and in the afternoon, the four offerings—Lionmaster, Light Feather, Thousand Jun, and Subduing Demon—will teach you Combat Skills."

Azure Luan placed a hand on Ye Xi's shoulder as he calmly explained.

"Xiao Xi, what do you think?"

Qian Daoliu turned his gaze toward Ye Xi.

Hearing this, Ye Xi thought for a moment before agreeing directly.

"Grandpa, I think Grandpa Golden Crocodile and the others have made a very good suggestion."

"I'll definitely learn properly from them."

Ye Xi nodded seriously, her tone very solemn.

She had roughly calculated it just now. With the offerings' arrangements, she would probably have five hours to cultivate at night, while the rest of her time would be needed to recover her strength.

After all, whether it was Body Tempering or Combat Skills training, both would certainly consume a great deal of stamina.

"Then we'll begin tomorrow."

"Xiao Xi, go back and get some proper rest first. Tomorrow's training will be very hard."

Qian Daoliu stroked Ye Xi's hair, his voice full of affection.

"Okay, Grandpa."

After answering, Ye Xi walked toward her room.

Watching Ye Xi leave, Golden Crocodile's eyes grew thoughtful. He then looked toward Qian Daoliu and said softly, "Big Brother, I'll go back first and prepare some equipment Ye Xi will need for Body Tempering."

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu nodded slightly and waved his hand.

"Go ahead, Brother Golden Crocodile."

As he spoke, Qian Daoliu looked at the others and said, "You should all return as well."

Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words, the other offerings departed one after another.

Elsewhere.

As Ye Xi walked back toward her residence, she gradually came to a stop. Her sapphire blue eyes looked toward a middle-aged man, a trace of contemplation appearing in them.

Ye Xi knew this man. His name was Yang Wushuang, and he was the younger brother of Yang Wudi, the Breaking Clan's leader.

A few years ago, following Qian Xunji's death, Spirit Hall launched a war against the Clear Sky Sect. Yet the Clear Sky Sect fled without fighting, abandoning the Single Attribute Four Sects, their affiliated clans.

Yang Wushuang had been captured by Spirit Hall in that battle and had subsequently joined Spirit Hall.

"Yang Wushuang."

Ye Xi called out to stop Yang Wushuang, who was about to leave.
