Spirit Hall

On the way back, Li Yuan and the Tang sisters encountered no further mishaps. Presumably, the Luon Family had yet to react.

After all, under normal circumstances, a team of Spirit Masters led by a Soul King would have had no trouble dealing with a Soul Ancestor and a newly promoted Soul Grandmaster.

Even if something went wrong, they should still have been able to retreat unharmed. Who could have expected them to run into Li Yuan and be wiped out completely?

Since no one had returned to report the news, Luon En had no idea that the men he had sent had already turned to ashes. He was probably still waiting for them to bring the Tang Weiwei sisters back.

That was precisely why the journey remained peaceful. Two days later, Li Yuan returned to Heaven Dou City with the Tang sisters.

As the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City was naturally prosperous, and it was even a renowned metropolis throughout the entire Douluo Continent.

Of course, in Li Yuan's eyes, it was nothing special. It could not compare to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, or Shenzhen at all. If it were placed in twenty-first-century China, it would only rank as a third-tier city at best.

Still, considering that the Douluo Continent was currently in the feudal era, building a city like this was already quite impressive.

Thus, Li Yuan was not particularly disappointed. After wandering around the city with Tang Weiwei and her sister, the three of them headed together to the Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City.

Spirit Hall's influence spread across the entire Douluo Continent. Based on their rank, its branches could be divided into six levels.

The lowest level was the Spirit Hall Branch Hall, followed by the Spirit Hall Sub-Hall and the Spirit Hall Main Hall.

In Tiandu City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, stood the fourth-level Spirit Hall: the Spirit Hall. There were only two Spirit Halls on the entire continent, each located in the capital of one of Douluo Continent's two great empires.

Of course, the Spirit Hall was not the true peak. Above it stood the Pope's Palace and the Douluo Temple of Worship.

The former was Pope Bibi Dong's base of operations, while the latter was overseen by Spirit Hall's Great Enshrined, Qian Daoliu.

Both were level ninety-nine Limit Douluo, among the most powerful beings on the Douluo Continent.

It was just that the two had considerable conflicts and differences, and they basically never cooperated. Otherwise, the situation of the two great empires would have been even more dire.

But even with internal problems within Spirit Hall, judging by the current situation, it was only a matter of time before the Douluo Continent was unified by Spirit Hall.

It was only because the protagonist, Tang San, had emerged out of nowhere that the course of Douluo Continent's history was forcibly changed.

Honestly, such a situation could only happen in a fantasy world like the Douluo Continent, where individual power could crush everything.

If it were an ordinary world, or a low-martial world where individual strength was not so terrifying, then even if the protagonist had cheats, he probably would not be able to withstand the surging tide of the times. He would definitely be crushed into dust by it.

After all, Spirit Hall represented the interests of the vast majority of commoners and Spirit Masters on the Douluo Continent. Opposing every force other than the Upper Three Sects and the nobles of the two great empires was something even a Limit Douluo could not withstand.

Only gods had the ability to reverse the tide of the times and forcibly prolong the life of a decayed feudal empire.

What did that show? On the Douluo Continent, as long as you had enough strength, you really could do whatever you wanted!

That was getting off topic. None of this had much to do with Li Yuan right now. As a Three-ring Soul Master, it was still too early for him to think about such things. He might as well dream; in dreams, he could have anything.

Stop daydreaming. Go obediently to the Spirit Hall and undergo the Spirit Master Qualification Assessment first. Get that monthly subsidy of one hundred Gold Soul Coins before anything else.

"Brother Ma Le, someone wants to undergo the Spirit Master Qualification Assessment." After sending her younger sister Tang Cai'er back to the academy, Tang Weiwei brought Li Yuan to a spacious, brightly lit office within the Spirit Hall.

A middle-aged man sat in the office. He wore the attire of a Spirit Master, and a badge engraved with five longswords hung on his chest, indicating his status as a Soul Ancestor.

When the middle-aged man saw Tang Weiwei enter, he hurriedly rose to greet her. "So it's Weiwei. By the way, didn't you take your sister to the Sunset Great Forest to hunt Spirit Beasts?"

"How did it go? Did everything go smoothly?"

"It was all right. We ran into a small accident, but fortunately, it was resolved later." Tang Weiwei did not tell anyone else about the attack she had suffered.

Although she was certain that those men in black were thugs raised by the Luon Family, the problem was that she had no evidence.

Even Spirit Hall could not accuse an imperial marquis without evidence. It was precisely because Luon En knew this that he acted so unscrupulously.

Therefore, Tang Weiwei could only swallow this silent grievance and be more careful in the future.

In this era, nobles were inherently above commoners. Although Spirit Hall was currently suppressing the two great empires so badly that they could barely breathe—

—to prevent the two great empires from being driven to desperation, Spirit Hall could not possibly punish a marquis of the Heaven Dou Empire over the matter of an ordinary member, unless Tang Weiwei could produce solid evidence.

"That's good, then." The middle-aged Soul Ancestor named Ma Le did not think much of it. After responding, he looked toward Li Yuan beside her.

"Oh, Weiwei, you said someone wanted to undergo a Spirit Master identity assessment, right? Is it him?" Ma Le glanced at Li Yuan and asked.

"That's right, it's me. Hello, Mr. Ma Le. My name is Li Xiaoyao, and I am a Three-ring Soul Master."

As he spoke, Li Yuan released his three Soul Rings.

He knew very well just how shocking his Soul Ring configuration truly was. In this era, a Purple, Purple, Black Soul Ring configuration was absolutely an anomaly among anomalies.

It would certainly attract the attention of Spirit Hall's upper ranks. Given Spirit Hall's style of prospering those who obeyed and destroying those who defied them—

—unless Li Yuan joined Spirit Hall and became one of its people, he would definitely offend Spirit Hall and would most likely be hunted down by them.

To be safe, Li Yuan naturally did not dare reveal the true colors of his Soul Rings. Fortunately, his transformation ability could not only alter his appearance.

He could even adjust the form of his martial soul and the colors of his Soul Rings at will.

Thus, what Ma Le saw before him now were three Soul Rings: Two Yellow, One Purple.

Two Hundred Year Soul Rings and one Thousand-Year Soul Ring—such a Soul Ring configuration could be considered the optimal arrangement on the Douluo Continent. It showed that Li Yuan possessed fairly good talent, but it was not shockingly extraordinary, making it perfect for the current Li Yuan.

If his Soul Ring configuration were too trashy, Tang Weiwei beside him would definitely become suspicious. A Three-ring Soul Master had defeated a Soul King and more than a dozen Soul Elders and Soul Ancestors.

That alone was already unbelievable. If the Soul Rings Li Yuan displayed were too trashy, he would simply be insulting Tang Weiwei's intelligence.
