Chrysanthemum Douluo Arrives

The next morning, Long Yu followed Su Yuntao as they prepared to leave.

"Village Chief Jack, and all the fellow villagers who watched me grow up, no feast lasts forever. Long Yu grew up thanks to your kindness. Now that I'm leaving, when I return after completing my studies, I will never forget any of you," Long Yu said sincerely as he looked at the familiar faces before him.

These people had truly watched him grow up!

"Xiao Yu, once you join Spirit Hall, make sure to cultivate well. Come back and visit often," Old Jack said.

"Xiao Yu, thank you. Our lives have become so much better because of you," said an honest-looking, simple middle-aged man.

"Xiao Yu, how about getting engaged to my Cuihua in advance? You can marry her in the future," said an auntie.

A "sturdy" figure surfaced in Long Yu's mind.

Cuihua was far sturdier than Long Yu, with luxuriant body hair and bulging muscles. Whenever he thought of how this Cuihua had once coquettishly called him Brother Yu...

Hiss, that image was too beautiful.

This really was a lifelong... cursed fate.

"Everyone, goodbye." Long Yu's steps unconsciously quickened, and Su Yuntao hurried after him.

This time, they had truly struck gold by finding such a peerless genius.

The Spirit Hall Branch Hall in Nuoding City had a branch master roughly at the Soul Ancestor level.

Compared with the Spirit Hall in Holy Spirit Village, Nuoding City's Spirit Hall was far more majestic and grand. Its European architectural style, paired with its imposing design, stood out starkly within the small city.

Following Su Yuntao into the Spirit Hall Branch Hall, Long Yu saw several figures after arriving in a room.

Then he noticed that Brother Tao's eyes kept drifting toward a female Soul Master. She was most likely Sisi from the original story.

This female Soul Master was fairly pretty, and she carried an alluring aura that greatly enhanced both her appearance and temperament.

"You're Long Yu, right? Su Yuntao wrote to us beforehand. Your talent really is astonishing. Oh, right, my name is Sisi," Sisi said sweetly.

"My name is Lu Renjia. I am the branch master of Nuoding City's Spirit Hall Branch Hall," said an ordinary-looking middle-aged man with a smile.

With a glance from him, Su Yuntao took out a crystal ball.

Lu Renjia continued, "This crystal ball can test Soul Power Levels below level thirty. Little friend, you can rest assured."

"Mm, hello, Branch Master Lu." Long Yu then placed his hand on the crystal ball. Although the blue light was still dazzling, the crystal ball did not crack this time.

Once the blue light stabilized, all three stared in shock and muttered blankly, "Innate Soul Power Level twenty... H-how is that possible?"

The scene fell silent for a moment. The three of them widened their eyes and stared fixedly at the crystal ball. Su Yuntao even pinched his own arm. Only after feeling pain did he realize he was not dreaming. It was real! He, Su Yuntao, had awakened a peerless genius with Innate Soul Power Level twenty!

"Could there be something wrong with the crystal ball?" Sisi asked hesitantly.

"No, there isn't," Lu Renjia said firmly.

"L-little friend, can you release your martial soul? I need to register it."

"Sorry, but it's inconvenient right now. Besides, you wouldn't recognize my martial soul anyway, so just register it as the Nine-Colored Dragon," Long Yu said calmly. On one hand, they would not recognize the Dragon God Martial Soul. On the other, he feared attracting the attention of certain enemies.

For example, the God Realm. If they noticed him, they might directly descend to the lower realm and kill him.

Ever since he released the Dragon God Martial Soul last time, he had vaguely sensed a feeling of danger.

Lu Renjia looked toward Su Yuntao. After seeing him nod, he said, "All right." He then took out a sheet of parchment and drew a deep breath to steady himself.

Then, in one go, he wrote: "Long Yu, orphan of Holy Spirit Village. Martial soul: Nine-Colored Dragon. Innate Full Soul Power, level twenty. Currently located in the Spirit Hall of Nuoding City, Fasinuo Province."

He then said, "Someone, secretly deliver this to the Sub-Hall at once. Remember, it absolutely must not be leaked." For Nuoding City's Spirit Hall Branch Hall to report such news upward, it had to be submitted level by level.

Spirit Hall Branch Hall, Spirit Hall Sub-Hall, Spirit Hall Main Branch, Spirit Hall Holy Temple, followed by the Papal Palace and Elder Hall.

"No need. Leave this child directly to me. This is His Holiness the Pope's order." A somewhat effeminate voice rang out, and a figure suddenly appeared before Long Yu.

A conspicuous chrysanthemum adorned the back of his magnificent robes. His well-proportioned features carried an effeminate air, his complexion was somewhat pale, and a closer look revealed faint beads of sweat.

Long Yu recognized the newcomer at a glance. Without question, this was the level ninety-five Chrysanthemum Douluo, Bibi Dong's trusted aide, who had remained level ninety-five from his first appearance in the original story until his death.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan then took out his Spirit Hall Elder's Token as proof and turned his gaze toward the person His Holiness the Pope had ordered him to personally find.

Long Yu was six years old, exceptionally handsome, with fair skin and a mysterious aura. Chrysanthemum Douluo sensed Long Yu's level.

"Innate Soul Power Level twenty!"

H-how was this possible? Chrysanthemum Douluo stared at Long Yu in disbelief.

No wonder His Holiness the Pope had ordered him to personally take this child away. He truly was a peerless genius!

It had been worth traveling day and night to get here. After all, his own Innate Soul Power had only been level nine, yet he was now a level ninety-five Super Douluo.

And this child, so long as he grew properly, would achieve far more than he ever could.

"My lord, this is his information." After seeing the Elder's Token, Lu Renjia respectfully offered the parchment with both hands.

"Mm, you have done well. I will mention it to His Holiness the Pope," Chrysanthemum Douluo said as he accepted it and glanced over it.

"You're Long Yu, right? His Holiness the Pope of our Spirit Hall wishes to meet you. Are you willing to come with me?" Chrysanthemum Douluo asked as gently as he could.

"Of course I am. Besides, I have already chosen to join Spirit Hall. It is my honor," Long Yu said, somewhat delighted.

It seemed his check-in mission would soon be complete. He wondered what kind of reward he would receive then.

"Very good. You have made a very sensible choice. Time is of the essence. We will depart now," Chrysanthemum Douluo said.

"Mm, all right." Long Yu nodded. It seems those with divine power really can detect the Dragon God aura from when I awakened my martial soul. I can't casually release it in the future.

"Deacon Su Yuntao, thank you for helping me awaken my martial soul!" Long Yu said before leaving, placing special emphasis on the word "thank."

"It is my honor." Su Yuntao was still in shock. First came Innate Soul Power Level twenty, then a mysterious and powerful Spirit Hall Elder personally arrived. It was simply too much to take in all at once.

Long Yu then followed Chrysanthemum Douluo outside and boarded a luxurious carriage.

Brother Tao, I've said all I can. I hope you win the beauty's heart.
