Imprint Martial Soul!

Outside the Star Dou Great Forest, a carriage was traveling toward Shrek Academy.

Inside the carriage was Jiang Qingtong, while the driver was a Titled Douluo from Mingde Hall, assigned by Kong Deming to protect Jiang Qingtong.

Although Jiang Qingtong had seven Rank Nine Soul Tools on her, and even a Super Douluo might not be able to capture her easily, Kong Deming felt that no security could be excessive due to the special nature of her martial soul.

Six years had passed since Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong joined Mingde Hall. Both had added their second soul rings, thousand-year rings likewise formed directly from their martial souls without hunting Soul Beasts.

Though their improvement did not seem significant, only Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong themselves knew that the Soul Power they cultivated was still accumulating, even continuously merging into their soul rings and increasing their age!

"Girl, Shrek Academy is just ahead. If you change your mind, I'll take you back to Mingde Hall right away." Seeing the magnificent Shrek City sprawled across the distant land, the Titled Douluo turned back and spoke to Jiang Qingtong inside the carriage.

Over the past few years, Jiang Shengyu's Spiritual Power had long since grown immensely powerful. Controlling two split bodies with Heart Separation Control so that they were no different from ordinary people was no longer a problem.

Thus, in the eyes of outsiders, Jiang Qingtong had gradually become more outgoing over the years.

Jiang Qingtong lifted the carriage curtain and gazed at Shrek City in the distance. "Old Hong, stop trying to persuade me. Since I've made up my mind to go to Shrek Academy, there's no way I'm turning back now that we're here."

"What's so good about Shrek Academy? Our Mingde Hall isn't inferior to them!" Old Hong muttered. In his eyes, sending Jiang Qingtong to Shrek Academy was like sending a lamb into a tiger's den!

What if such a young girl got deceived and swindled away by those old geezers at Shrek Academy?

"But you can't deny that Shrek Academy is the holy land of martial soul cultivation on the Douluo Continent! Only here can I encounter more high-quality martial souls!" Jiang Qingtong looked at Old Hong and kneaded his shoulders.

Old Hong clearly enjoyed Jiang Qingtong's massage. "Come to think of it, you siblings are truly lucky stars for our Sun Moon Empire! That Soul Hall Shengyu set up really has unearthed quite a few talented soul masters."

Back when Jiang Shengyu proposed establishing an organization like Spirit Hall to handle Martial Soul Awakening and recruit talent, neither Mingde Hall nor the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy had raised any objections.

Although the emperor believed such a move might provoke the vigilance of the Three Kingdoms and told them not to make too big a spectacle of it, Soul Hall had still developed rapidly over the years, establishing many branch halls throughout the Original Douluo Continent Three Kingdoms.

The strength of the people was limitless. Among the common folk at the bottom of the Original Douluo Continent Three Kingdoms, there was no shortage of pitiful people who could only suffer oppression from upper-class Nobles because they were unable to awaken martial souls.

When Soul Hall found them and awakened their martial souls for free, and when they could receive living subsidies from Soul Hall after obtaining soul rings and becoming soul masters—even if they only had Ten-Year Soul Rings—these people would unwaveringly support Soul Hall.

That was one reason Soul Hall had developed so quickly in such a short time.

Although this had also drawn the attention of the Three Kingdoms' authorities, and they had begun investigating the matter, even if they uncovered something, the ones opposing them would not be Soul Hall, but the people united around Soul Hall.

It was an open scheme!

Soul Hall's explosive momentum had the Mingde Hall consecrators singing Jiang Shengyu's praises.

"Without Teacher's support, how could it have gone so smoothly?" Jiang Qingtong said with a smile. "I heard from Senior Brother that you'll be joining Soul Hall after you return as well?"

Old Hong nodded. "Though Soul Hall was only established recently, its effects are plainly visible. The Hall Master has decided to assign several more Titled Douluo to Soul Hall. Once you enter Shrek Academy, I'll go work for Soul Hall."

At this point, Old Hong added, "But I heard some Soul Hall staff say that Shengyu told them to handle everything personally whenever they went out, not to outsource anything, and not to cackle like villains. I have no idea why."

Of course Jiang Qingtong knew why. She coughed lightly and said with a smile, "After all, our Soul Hall is on the righteous side."

As they spoke, the sky ahead of the Star Dou Great Forest suddenly changed. Dark clouds filled the heavens, and a streak of light descended from within them, flying toward a spot in the Star Dou Great Forest before vanishing into it.

Both Jiang Qingtong and Old Hong noticed the scene. Old Hong cried out, "Girl, be careful! I just sensed an incredibly powerful Spiritual Power!"

"Old Hong, hurry! Let's go take a look!" Jiang Qingtong stared in that direction and quickly realized what this might be, immediately urging Old Hong onward.

Seeing how excited Jiang Qingtong was, Old Hong frowned. "We'd better not. That Spiritual Power is more vast than even mine, at least at the level of a Super Douluo, perhaps even stronger! If we really end up fighting, it'll be troublesome!"

"Don't worry, Old Hong. If it doesn't work out, we'll just run!" Jiang Qingtong said with a smile.

"So you mean you little girl plan to sell me out?" Old Hong asked in reply. Yet even as he spoke, his hands had already pulled the reins, turning the carriage toward that direction.

When the two arrived, they saw only a slender young boy lying unconscious on the ground, with a dead Ten-Year Wind Baboon and a white soul ring beside him.

"Huh?"

Looking at the boy before him, Old Hong frowned. "Impossible. How could such a little fellow unleash such powerful Spiritual Power? But if someone else unleashed it, where is that person?"

While Old Hong was still puzzled, Jiang Qingtong had already leaped down from the carriage, staring excitedly at the unconscious figure on the ground!

She recognized who he was!

Wind Baboon, white soul ring, powerful Spiritual Power, and that sudden change in the weather!

Huo Yuhao!

This young man was Huo Yuhao!

"Girl, be careful!"

Seeing Jiang Qingtong run over just like that, Old Hong hurried after her. He stayed by her side, constantly alert to their surroundings in case anything unexpected happened.

Jiang Qingtong released her martial soul, Mirror Flower.

A Crystal Lotus bloomed behind her, and two purple soul rings pulsed before her. One of them shone, Imprinting Huo Yuhao's martial soul and his current soul skill.

Old Hong was greatly shocked by Jiang Qingtong's action. "Girl! The Hall Master specifically warned you not to Imprint martial souls casually!"

"Don't worry, Old Hong. Imprinting his martial soul will bring nothing but benefits." Jiang Qingtong said to Old Hong.
