After absorbing the power of magma, the Withered Wood Bow underwent another tremendous transformation.

This was a brand-new bow composed entirely of magma. Ye Tianxing held its body in his hand but felt no scorching heat, because this bow was his Martial Soul.

The arrows it fired differed from before. They were condensed from flames, and their effect was burning.

Withered Wood Bow, Lightning Bow, Magma Bow.

These were the bow's three forms so far.

Using different elemental combinations was the greatest surprise Ye Tianxing had discovered today.

"Lightning, flame... then what about ice and snow?"

Ye Tianxing immediately went to find Radiant Feather Douluo. His teacher's Martial Soul possessed the ice attribute.

Just as Ye Tianxing had expected, the Withered Wood Bow underwent another drastic transformation.

A brand-new Ice Bow formed entirely of ice appeared.

Its effect was freezing, slowing the enemy's advance.

Even the well-informed Radiant Feather Douluo could not help but marvel. "Gathering different elements to form entirely new bows... it seems your Withered Wood Bow truly is far more powerful than mine!"

"You flatter me, Teacher. You're a Titled Douluo, while I'm only a mere level nineteen Spirit Master. Your words are far too kind."

The Ice Bow in Ye Tianxing's hand returned to its original form. Blue lightning, red magma, and blue ice and snow now adorned the body of the Withered Wood Bow.

The three colors were engraved upon the bow's body. With them, he could switch forms at will and catch his enemies off guard.

Radiant Feather Douluo continued, "Although Spirit Hall's Mimetic Cultivation Environment is beneficial for cultivation, the natural elements contained within are still rather weak. If you encounter an even harsher environment in the future, you can try capturing the more powerful natural elements within it. I imagine that will be when this bow's true power is unleashed."

"An even harsher environment..."

Ye Tianxing's gaze turned northward, toward the Extreme North. It was a barren land blanketed in ice and snow year-round, with scarcely any human traces. There was undoubtedly no better place to gather ice and snow elements.

Spirit Hall's strength came from the intelligence network behind it. Nearly every city on the Douluo Continent bore the presence of a Spirit Hall Branch, and even a small city like Nuoding City was no exception.

Ye Tianxing arrived at the Intelligence Department and began searching for key terms such as Holy Spirit Village and Nuoding City.

Before long, he truly found Tang San's trail.

"Tang San, six years old. Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass. Innate Full Soul Power. Evaluation: Though he possesses Innate Full Soul Power, his Martial Soul is the worthless Blue Silver Grass. What a pity."

Ye Tianxing turned to the second page. There was nothing.

That was it?

Just because Blue Silver Grass was a worthless Martial Soul, they didn't investigate him any further?

They couldn't figure out why Blue Silver Grass possessed Innate Full Soul Power, so they simply left it at that?

Ye Tianxing set down Tang San's Holy Spirit Village Report and picked up another file instead.

This was a report from the Nuoding City Spirit Hall Branch. Tang San had obtained the Spirit Ring of a Four-Hundred-Year Spirit Beast, the Man-faced Demon Spider, and had officially become a Spirit Master.

This report was quite detailed. It even noted who Tang San's teacher was.

"Yu Xiaogang (Ass), level twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster. Martial Soul: Luo Sanpao. Formerly affiliated with Spirit Hall, later departed for unknown reasons."

The report on Yu Xiaogang contained only one extremely brief line, but it revealed much.

Why had Yu Xiaogang suddenly left Spirit Hall?

Ye Tianxing knew. Qian Xunji had cuckolded Yu Xiaogang.

Why was Yu Xiaogang only level twenty-nine?

Ye Tianxing knew that too. His Martial Soul had mutated in a bad direction. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was a dragon, while he was a pig. The two were not of the same kind.

Still, Ye Tianxing rather admired him at times. He and the Golden Iron Triangle could use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill to summon the Golden Saint Dragon, and he had single-handedly invented the Seven-in-One Spirit Fusion Skill. He was an unconventional genius.

Strange. Yu Xiaogang took on a disciple—didn't Bibi Dong, as his old lover, learn of it beforehand? Or was Xiaogang some sort of taboo within Spirit Hall, forbidden from being mentioned, and thus only able to exist in written records?

Ye Tianxing shook his head, unaware that this master-and-disciple pair would ultimately overthrow the vast Spirit Hall.

From this moment onward, one could begin counting down the time until Spirit Hall reached its peak and then fell into ruin.

But history had yet to unfold, because Ye Tianxing had come to this world.

Looking at the two reports before him, Ye Tianxing's lips curved upward. After returning them to their original places, he left on his own.

As he walked out of the Intelligence Department, a lively young girl approached him. She had short-cropped hair, and her alluring fox-like eyes were filled with thought as her brows remained tightly furrowed.

"Isn't this Sister Nana?"

Having spent so long in Spirit Hall, Ye Tianxing had gradually become familiar with everyone.

Hu Liena froze for a moment before noticing Ye Tianxing in front of her. She smiled. "Isn't this little brother Tianxing? It's been so long. The last finals were amazing. I truly never expected you to have Twin Martial Souls. You really gave me quite a fright back then."

"Sister Nana is His Holiness the Pope's disciple. In the future, you'll inherit the position of Pope."

At those words, Hu Liena could not help but laugh. "That's not necessarily true. There are many disciples more outstanding than me. Besides, Teacher hasn't even appointed me Holy Maiden yet. It's still too early."

Hu Liena noticed that Ye Tianxing had come out of the Intelligence Department and asked curiously, "Little brother Tianxing, did you have business in the Intelligence Department? Or was it the Fifth Offering...?"

"No, I was merely curious whether Spirit Hall's intelligence network could help me find my parents from before."

Ye Tianxing casually made up a lie before bidding Hu Liena farewell.

"You've come."

When the person in charge of the Intelligence Department saw Hu Liena arrive, he knew that His Holiness the Pope must have a new task to assign.

"Did Tianxing come here just now?" Hu Liena asked.

Not long ago, Bibi Dong had instructed that anything Ye Tianxing did had to be reported truthfully.

After Ye Tianxing concealed his second Martial Soul last time, causing Bibi Dong to be outmaneuvered by Qian Daoliu and lose the head spirit bone originally prepared for her disciple Hu Liena, Bibi Dong had begun paying closer attention to Ye Tianxing.

"Yes. He casually looked through a few things before leaving," the person in charge replied.

"Where are the things he looked through?" Hu Liena pressed.

Would someone come to Spirit Hall's Intelligence Department without a special reason?

Ye Tianxing was the Fifth Offering's disciple. His status was equal to Hu Liena's, and his authority within Spirit Hall was also quite high.

Hu Liena did not think a child of only six could harbor any ill intentions.

When the person in charge brought Hu Liena to where Ye Tianxing had been, she began searching through the files.

Sure enough, there were signs that someone had looked through them.

"Tang San, from Holy Spirit Village. Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass. Inna... Innate Full Soul Power?!"

Hu Liena rubbed her eyes. Could she have seen it wrong?

In previous years, anyone with Innate Full Soul Power would certainly have been sent to Spirit Hall for cultivation first. Yet today, she had found another one here—and he was a Spirit Master with Blue Silver Grass as his Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power.
