Return to Spirit Hall

Spirit City's Spirit Hall symbolized the highest honor of Douluo Palace. In the deepest part of Douluo Palace stood a resplendent room, with a stone statue of a Six-Winged Angel identical to the sculptures before the Pope Palace's main gate and in the square.

Qian Daoliu was kneeling devoutly before the Six-Winged Angel statue, eyes closed, his face eased with relief.

At first, Qian Daoliu had thought Duanyu Fan was an illegitimate child his son Qian Xunji had carelessly fathered outside the family, because aside from the Qian Family, in all these centuries, he had never heard of or seen an Angel Martial Soul awakening anywhere on the continent.

Only after the Angel God cleared up his doubts did Qian Daoliu relax, though he also felt a little disappointed.

The Angel God's answer was that her power had received the sun's violent side—scorching, judgmental, a battle-type angel.

But the sun also had a gentle, warm side. Duanyu Fan's angel belonged to that gentle, warm side, so it leaned toward healing and support. It was not a battle-type angel.

In the end, the Angel God told Qian Daoliu not to interfere. Duanyu Fan's Angel Martial Soul would guide its host as he grew and found the place he belonged.

Qian Daoliu got his answer, rose, and walked out of the room where the angel statue was enshrined.

"Big Brother! You were inside for more than two days! How did it go?" This was also a white-haired old man, his whole body giving off the aura of a fierce tiger.

"Golden Crocodile, Second Brother, it's fine now! I've already gotten my answer. I never thought that child would actually be chosen. Has Yue Guan returned yet?" Qian Daoliu sighed, then asked.

"Not yet. It's already been three days. Suitable Soul Rings are probably hard to find," the man called Golden Crocodile said.

Golden Crocodile, Second Worship of Douluo Palace. Golden Crocodile was only his Titled Douluo title. His Martial Soul was the Golden Giant Crocodile, and his Soul Power Level was Level 98, a peak Douluo.

Douluo Palace had seven Titled Douluo worshipers, all of them above Level 96. In Spirit Hall, only those who reached Level 96 and above were qualified to become worship-level figures. The remaining Titled Douluo were called elders.

"They're both God-level Angel Martial Souls. I wonder if that boy shares any traits with Xue Er. Second Brother, did you tell Xue Er about the situation here?" Qian Daoliu had instructed Golden Crocodile to notify Xue Er.

"Big Brother! I've already notified Xue Er! But there's been no reply yet!" Second Worship Golden Crocodile had already notified Xue Er when Qian Daoliu entered the angel statue room.

"Good."

At the same time, elsewhere, a young man with short golden hair was in a splendid room, reading a letter.

"An innate Level 20 support-type Angel Martial Soul?" the short-haired young man said softly.

"Reply to Grandfather and say that I know."

"Yes, Young Master," a voice answered the short-haired young man.

After obtaining two Soul Rings, Duanyu Fan and Chrysanthemum Douluo hurried back toward Spirit City. In less than four hours, they entered Spirit City.

They entered through Spirit City's West Gate and passed Steward Mo's home. Duanyu Fan went inside and found that Steward Mo and his wife had already prepared dinner.

"Uncle Mo! Aunt He, eating dinner?" Duanyu Fan said after entering.

"Xiao Fan! Come, come, sit down and eat with us," Aunt He hurriedly greeted him.

"No, Aunt He. We still have to go back and report to Your Majesty the Pope. And I've already obtained my Soul Rings. After I return, I'll be going to the Academy. I might not have much time to come by after this. I'll need to cultivate." Duanyu Fan had come over to say a word.

"Xiao Fan, congratulations on awakening such a powerful Martial Soul, and with Innate Full Soul Power too. You've become Your Majesty the Pope's disciple, so you really should go to the Academy and cultivate properly. Don't let down Your Majesty the Pope's expectations," Steward Mo said in congratulations.

"And! Your Majesty the Pope has already spoken to me. Because of you, I've been promoted. I'm already at Vice Bishop rank now," Steward Mo continued.

"Congratulations, Uncle Mo! I'm also very grateful that you and Aunt He have treated me so well, and even brought me back from the village," Duanyu Fan said sincerely.

"All right! You two should go to the Pope Palace first. Come visit when you have time later," Steward Mo said.

"Okay! Then I'll be going."

Duanyu Fan left the house and continued toward the Pope Palace. After more than ten minutes, he arrived at the main gate of the Pope Palace, and the guarding soldiers respectfully let him through.

Pope Bibi Dong and Ghost Douluo were in the main hall. They saw Duanyu Fan and Chrysanthemum Douluo enter.

"Your Majesty the Pope, this trip went very smoothly. The Soul Skills the Holy Son obtained exceeded my imagination," Chrysanthemum Douluo said respectfully first.

"Greetings, Teacher!" Since Bibi Dong had acknowledged him as her disciple, Duanyu Fan could only change how he addressed her.

"Oh! To actually surprise even you means the Soul Skills he obtained must be quite good. Tell me. Ghost Elder, call Nana over!" Bibi Dong watched the two of them calmly.

"Yes!" Ghost Douluo's dark figure flashed and disappeared from where he stood.

"Teacher! It was all thanks to Chrysanthemum Elder doing his utmost to find suitable soul beasts for me. But light-attribute soul beasts are too rare. Finding two Soul Rings took five days," Duanyu Fan said in a bright voice on Chrysanthemum Douluo's behalf.

"It was all what this subordinate should do. Those five days weren't wasted, and it was also because the Holy Son's talent is excellent that he could absorb Soul Rings beyond the age limit," Chrysanthemum Douluo hurriedly praised him when he heard Duanyu Fan mention him.

"Teacher! You were looking for me?" At this moment, Hu Liena followed Ghost Douluo into the Pope Palace.

"Junior Brother! You're back!"

"All right, Xiao Fan. You can tell us now. What Soul Skills are so mysterious?" Bibi Dong rarely revealed a faint, meaningful smile, though no one noticed it.

Seeing that everyone was more or less present, Duanyu Fan released his Martial Soul Cross, and one yellow and one purple ring instantly appeared.

"Second ring, thousand-year! Level 25 soul power. Although it's only light purple, that's already very impressive. What are the Soul Skills?" When Bibi Dong saw the pale purple Soul Ring, anticipation began to rise in her.

A wave of frustration rose in Hu Liena. She discovered that Duanyu Fan's soul power had reached Level 25. He was only six years old, while she was already ten and only at Level 28 soul power.

"My First Soul Skill is called Healing Prayer. It can heal injuries and purify various control and abnormal statuses." Duanyu Fan then explained the amplification effects of his First Soul Skill in detail.

"Oh! Not bad. Release your First Soul Skill on me," Bibi Dong said. Hearing the effect of purification, she had Duanyu Fan use the Soul Skill on her.

"Yes! Teacher. First Soul Skill, Healing Prayer." It was released the same way as the Second Soul Skill.

A burst of white light merged into Bibi Dong's body. Bibi Dong only felt a miraculous power make her mind much clearer. The Rakshasa Divine Power's influence on her will had actually become much weaker.

"Very good! As expected of a God-level Martial Soul support. What is the second Soul Skill?" Bibi Dong continued asking.

"Second Soul Skill, Courage Blessing." Seeing Bibi Dong speak, Duanyu Fan continued and released the Soul Skill.

A total of three beams of white light attached themselves to Bibi Dong, Hu Liena, and Ghost Douluo, and he introduced the Soul Skill's abilities.

"Teacher, I can apply my Second Soul Skill to ten people at the same time. With my current soul power, I can maintain it for five minutes. As for the First Soul Skill, I can release it twenty times a day." Duanyu Fan finished introducing the skills of his two Soul Rings.

"As expected of a God-level support Martial Soul. It actually far surpasses the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect." Qian Daoliu observed the situation inside the hall from outside, sighed, and then left.

"Very good! Put it away!" Bibi Dong spoke, and Duanyu Fan put away his Martial Soul.

"Nana, arrange a room beside yours for Xiao Fan, your junior brother, to stay in. Tomorrow morning, take Xiao Fan to the Academy to register," Bibi Dong arranged for Duanyu Fan.

"Yes! Teacher."

Afterward, Hu Liena led Duanyu Fan out of the Pope Palace.
