Divine Exam Descends

"Mm! I suspect this is the work of an Evil Soul Master, but Chrysanthemum Elder and Ghost Elder searched for a month and still found no trace of any Evil Soul Master. Right now, roughly twenty thousand people have fallen ill, and the Healing Spirit Masters are already at their wits' end. The number is still rising."

"Also, among the soldiers maintaining order, everyone below the Soldier Spirit Grandmaster level has started to become infected." This was the first time Bibi Dong had encountered something like this in her life. For the moment, she could not find a solution either, so she could only let Duanyu Fan give it a try.

"Teacher! I can't guarantee anything either! We can only try for a day first. But Teacher, after the Healing Spirit Masters cure this illness, how long does it take to relapse?" Duanyu Fan was not confident either. He did not know whether this Purification Ability could remove this plague. Duanyu Fan knew that a plague was not poison.

"It relapses in about seven days. Let's go to the west hall of Spirit Hall together. Xiao Fan, if you successfully remove this disaster, the name of the Spirit Hall Holy Son will spread across the entire continent." Bibi Dong looked at Duanyu Fan with a face full of expectation.

"Teacher, it's only empty fame! In our cultivation, besides becoming gods, if we have the ability, we should also establish lives for the people and bring peace to all." Duanyu Fan spoke with solemn declaration.

"Xiao Fan!" Bibi Dong trembled.

"Teacher, let's go. Aren't we going to the west hall? Right, Teacher, covering the nose and mouth with cloth can greatly reduce and block the spread of symptoms." Duanyu Fan took out a small piece of cloth and covered his own mouth and nose.

"All right, let's go. Chrysanthemum Elder and Ghost Elder are presiding over things at the west hall." Bibi Dong also copied Duanyu Fan and covered her own mouth and nose.

Before long, Duanyu Fan followed Bibi Dong to the west hall.

The personnel in the west hall were extremely busy, with people going in and out of the main hall.

Chrysanthemum Douluo was presiding over work outside, while Ghost Douluo was managing the personnel inside the west hall.

"Your Majesty the Pope, Holy Son, why have you come?" Seeing Bibi Dong and Duanyu Fan suddenly arrive, Ghost Douluo hurried forward and asked.

"Ghost Elder, don't worry about so much. Immediately give the order and notify everyone that all of them must wear cloth like Teacher and me, covering their mouths and noses. Also, minimize physical contact with those who have fallen ill." Duanyu Fan made the arrangements solemnly.

"Do as the Holy Son says!" Seeing that Ghost Douluo was actually looking at her, Bibi Dong immediately ordered with authority.

"Yes, Holy Son!"

"Also! Issue a notice that, in order to prevent further spread, personnel are forbidden from leaving the west side of Spirit City, and outsiders are forbidden from entering the west side of Spirit City."

"And gather the infected Spirit Hall Guard Soldier members at West Hall Plaza. Let the Holy Son try treating them and see the effect." Bibi Dong did not forget to add.

"Yes! Your Majesty the Pope!"

Ghost Douluo immediately went out to announce Duanyu Fan's arrangements. The west side of Spirit City had already gathered two-thirds of the personnel from Spirit Hall headquarters to preside over order.

Two months had passed since the incident in Spirit City. Naturally, the other forces on the continent knew about it as well, and they were all waiting to laugh at Spirit Hall.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Pope! Long live!"

Ghost Douluo was very efficient. More than one or two hundred infected guards had gathered at West Hall Plaza, all below the Spirit Grandmaster level.

"Teacher! There are a bit too many people! My First Soul Skill can only be released thirty times a day right now, and each time can treat and purify at most five people." Duanyu Fan looked at this group of over two hundred guards.

"Xiao Fan, it's fine. Take it slowly. The death rate of this symptom isn't high." Bibi Dong could only say this.

"Everyone, be quiet! Next, the Spirit Hall Holy Son will treat you all. Five at a time. Starting from the left, come forward in groups of five." Bibi Dong faintly released her authority as she gave the order.

"Many thanks, Holy Son!" the guard soldiers answered in orderly fashion.

"Everyone, guard big brothers, don't worry! I will do my utmost. Let's begin now!" Duanyu Fan took a step forward and spoke to the guards.

Under Ghost Douluo's arrangement, the first group of five came before Duanyu Fan and stood in a row.

"First Soul Skill, Healing Prayer." Duanyu Fan looked at the five guards' yellowed faces, tinged with a bit of purple-blue, their mental states somewhat withered, and immediately began releasing his soul skill.

Five rays of light entered the five guards' bodies respectively. Their appearances visibly returned to normal, and then a wisp of black-gray smoke emerged from each of them at the same time, before burning away completely under the sunlight.

"Your Majesty the Pope, the Holy Son's treatment is effective. Normally, after Healing Spirit Masters treat someone, this black-gray situation does not appear." Seeing that Duanyu Fan's treatment was different from that of other Healing Spirit Masters, Ghost Douluo immediately reported to Bibi Dong.

"Good! This may well be an opportunity for Spirit Hall. If he can truly treat all the villagers, then our Spirit Hall's prestige will rise to another level." Bibi Dong immediately felt her heart settle.

"Yes! Your Majesty the Pope, this is all the Holy Son's credit. The Holy Son will be busy for quite some time next." Ghost Douluo immediately praised Duanyu Fan, even adding "my lord" to the form of address.

"How do you feel!" Duanyu Fan looked at the five guards and asked with concern.

"Many thanks, Holy Son. We feel better than ever right now."

"Don't be careless! Put on cloth and cover your mouths and noses, in case you get infected again!" Duanyu Fan instructed.

"Yes, Holy Son." The five guards each took the cloth that had already been arranged for personnel to distribute, and one by one did as Duanyu Fan said.

"Please continue. The next five members step forward." Ghost Douluo immediately arranged it.

God Realm...

"Oh! The Heart of Kindness actually reacted. Haha, a successor who matches the Heart of Kindness has finally appeared. In the Douluo Realm, only seven years old with rank 31 Soul Power. Very good talent." Within a towering pillar of light stood a figure, speaking softly.

Spirit City...

"The Heart of Kindness has taken initial form. First exam of the Kindness God Test: cure all infected people. Time limit: two years. Reward: increase Heart of Kindness affinity by fifteen percent. Other rewards to be determined." A voice rang out in Duanyu Fan's mind. Immediately afterward, a Celestial Maiden Flower mark appeared at the center of Duanyu Fan's forehead, though no one could see this Celestial Maiden Flower mark.

But Bibi Dong saw it. Bibi Dong saw a ray of light shoot into the center of Duanyu Fan's brow, where a flower mark appeared faintly.

"Has a Divine Exam descended on Xiao Fan? I wonder which god of the God Realm it is!" Bibi Dong was secretly startled.

If Duanyu Fan turned back to look at Bibi Dong now, he would see that compared to usual, there was an extra Scythe Mark at the center of her brow. This was the mark of a Divine Exam that only those of the same kind could see.

"Mm! Heart of Kindness? Kindness God Test? Kindness God King?" Duanyu Fan was also secretly shocked without showing it. He had not expected that one action of his would catch the eye of a God King.

"Treat all infected people! I wonder how many people have been infected with the plague right now. Hopefully not too many. I hope the two-year exam time limit is enough." It would be a lie to say Duanyu Fan was not excited. Duanyu Fan still knew how difficult it was to become a god independently.

"First Soul Skill, Healing Prayer!" Duanyu Fan withdrew his thoughts and focused on treating the guard soldiers.

Five minutes each time. Duanyu Fan busied himself until the afternoon. With thirty treatments, he removed the symptoms of one hundred and fifty people, leaving dozens more.

"Everyone, guard big brothers, my First Soul Skill has a release limit. At most, it can be used thirty times a day. The remaining big brothers, don't be anxious. Tomorrow morning, I'll continue removing your symptoms." Duanyu Fan said solemnly.

"Many thanks, Holy Son. Please rest well, Holy Son." The guards thanked him sincerely.

And just like that, Duanyu Fan stayed in the west hall of Spirit Hall.

Hehe! It was the Kindness God King's Divine Exam.
