Twin God-Tier Martial Souls, Apprenticeship under Qianjun Douluo

Elsewhere, at the Spirit Hall Branch.

Shen Tianchen's Martial Soul awakening ceremony was still underway. Little did he know that Qingluan Douluo, watching from outside, had already taken in everything he had done.

Seeing this, even someone who had witnessed countless prodigies could not help but show approval in his eyes. "This little fellow's physical condition is quite good. He awakened such powerful Martial Souls, yet he remains completely composed. Not bad, not bad."

But just as he wanted to keep watching, his gaze was suddenly drawn to a flash of green light in Shen Tianchen's left hand. Just as that green light was about to emerge, Shen Tianchen forcibly withdrew it.

Qingluan Douluo's expression changed drastically when he noticed this. "Could this little fellow be... No, this matter is of great importance. I must hurry back and report it to Big Brother."

Having made up his mind, Qingluan Douluo did not dare delay any longer and hurried toward Shen Tianchen.

Shen Tianchen had finished awakening his Martial Souls. Sensing the two waves of Soul Power within his body, he was overjoyed. "Dragon Abyss Sword and Life Divine Pearl—I actually have Twin Martial Souls."

"Moreover, the quality of these two Martial Souls seems quite high. I just don't know how they compare to the greatest top-tier Martial Souls of the Douluo Continent. Forget it. I'll have plenty of time to verify that later. Right now, my first priority is to conceal my Twin Martial Souls."

Having made his decision, Shen Tianchen put away his Dragon Abyss Sword. Just as he was about to ask Steward Li to test his Soul Power, he suddenly sensed that someone was standing behind him.

When he turned around, he saw a young man standing before him. The young man wore a brilliant golden brocade robe, had teal-blue hair, handsome features, and a tall, straight figure.

Seeing that Shen Tianchen had noticed him, the young man first said to Li Xu and the others, "There is nothing for you to do here. Leave the rest to me. You may go now."

When Li Xu and the other staff saw the angel-shaped emblem he wore, they immediately understood his identity. After respectfully responding, they did not dare linger and quickly left.

Once there was no one else around, the young man casually waved a hand, forming a barrier with Soul Power. Then he smiled at Shen Tianchen. "Child, there is no need to be nervous. I am the Third Elder of Spirit Hall, Qingluan Douluo. I already know everything that happened in the hall just now. Can you tell me what your two Martial Souls are?"

Knowing that the other man understood the significance of Twin Martial Souls, Shen Tianchen decided not to conceal them any longer. With a thought, the Dragon Abyss Sword and Life Divine Pearl appeared in his hands.

The instant the two Martial Souls appeared, the surrounding space seemed to tremble several times. Even Qingluan Douluo found it difficult to believe.

That was because he could sense that his Qingluan Martial Soul was somewhat afraid. "There is no mistake. Twin God-Tier Martial Souls. And the feeling these two Martial Souls give me is faintly stronger than Big Brother's and the Young Master's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. I must quickly bring him back for Big Brother and the others to see."

Having made up his mind, Qingluan Douluo said to Shen Tianchen, "Child, what is your name?" "Third Elder, my name is Shen Tianchen. You can call me Xiao Chen." Qingluan Douluo nodded and said, "A fine name. Xiao Chen, are you willing to join Spirit Hall?"

"If you are willing, you may enter the Worship Hall directly. Once you break through to Super Douluo, you may become an Elder immediately. During that time, our Worship Hall can teach you how to cultivate your Martial Souls and help you hunt Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Rings. We will also send people to secretly protect your family."

Shen Tianchen understood that this was the perfect opportunity to find a powerful patron. He no longer hesitated, dropping to one knee as he said, "I am willing to join Spirit Hall. I want to become strong."

Hearing this, Qingluan Douluo nodded in satisfaction. "Then let us go."

Afterward, Qingluan Douluo exchanged a few words with Shen Tianchen's father, and the two headed toward the mountain where the Worship Hall was located.

Papal Palace.

After Chrysanthemum Douluo gave his detailed report, Bibi Dong's expression gradually darkened. She sneered, "The Third Elder certainly has his methods. He so easily obtained a genius with Innate Full Soul Power. But geniuses are often not very lucky. Just wait. The one who laughs last will definitely be me, Bibi Dong!"

Two hours later, the two arrived at the steps of the Worship Hall. Since he had to bring Shen Tianchen with him, Qingluan Douluo had slowed down somewhat.

Shen Tianchen looked up, his face filled with immense shock. A towering, majestic palace stood before him.

The palace was extravagantly decorated, with all manner of precious gemstones embedded in its walls. At its highest point stood a Six-Winged Angel Statue forged from gold. Nor was that all—even the stairs were made from the finest marble. These details alone were enough to display Spirit Hall's immense wealth.

Seeing Shen Tianchen's expression, Qingluan Douluo smiled faintly. "Come on. The Grand Elder and the others are waiting inside. I already sent word to the other Elders while we were on the road, so do not keep them waiting too long."

With that, he headed toward the Worship Hall. Hearing this, Shen Tianchen quickly snapped out of his shock and followed.

The two walked all the way to the palace gates. Then Qingluan Douluo called out, "Reporting to the Grand Elder, the person has arrived."

As soon as his words fell, the tightly shut gates slowly opened. A deep, powerful voice then sounded from within. "Do not stand outside. Come in." Qingluan Douluo promptly answered and led Shen Tianchen inside.

Before long, the two reached the center of the main hall. Six figures stood before Shen Tianchen. Familiar with the original story, he naturally knew that these six figures were the other six Elders of the Worship Hall. After Qingluan Douluo introduced them, Shen Tianchen became acquainted with the other Elders.

However, the hot-tempered Fourth Elder, Mighty Lion Douluo, broke the atmosphere. He said impatiently, "Little fellow, hurry and show us your Martial Souls."

Seeing the other Elders looking at him with curiosity as well, Shen Tianchen nodded. He extended both hands, and with a thought, the Dragon Abyss Sword and Life Divine Pearl appeared in his palms.

Then, a faint pressure slowly spread from Shen Tianchen's palms. The Elders' expressions changed. Qian Jun and Jiang Mo felt it most strongly, as their strength was the lowest among those present, and both possessed Weapon Martial Souls.

Qian Daoliu exchanged a glance with the other Elders, confirming the speculation in their hearts. He then waved a hand to set up a barrier before asking, "Xiao Chen, was it? What are the names of these two Martial Souls?"

Shen Tianchen answered, "Grand Elder, my two Martial Souls are called the Dragon Abyss Sword and the Life Divine Pearl."

Qian Daoliu nodded, then took out a Crystal Ball from his Soul Tool and placed it before Shen Tianchen. "The Third Elder said earlier that you did not have time to test your Soul Power. Place your hand on the Crystal Ball now and let us see how much Innate Soul Power a genius with Twin God-Tier Martial Souls possesses."

Hearing this, Shen Tianchen immediately placed his hand on the Crystal Ball. The instant his hand touched it, a surge of Soul Power burst from his body, shooting toward the sky like a giant dragon.

Fortunately, Qian Daoliu had set up a barrier beforehand. Otherwise, the force of that Soul Power would inevitably have been noticed by other powerful Soul Masters in Spirit City, especially those people from the Papal Palace.

After the Soul Power test ended, Qianjun Douluo was the first to voice his opinion, though he also had some doubts. "From what we can see, these two Martial Souls have given Xiao Chen Innate Soul Power at Rank 30. They are undoubtedly God-tier Martial Souls. That Dragon Abyss Sword in particular feels as though its rank is even higher than Big Brother's Angel Martial Soul."

"With two Martial Souls this powerful, his Innate Soul Power should not be limited to Rank 30."

The other Elders besides Qian Daoliu nodded in agreement, then turned their gazes toward Qian Daoliu, who was deep in thought.

After pondering for a while, Qian Daoliu said, "This is the first time I have encountered a situation like Xiao Chen's. Under normal circumstances, it should indeed be as Qian Jun said. However, I have never heard of Xiao Chen's two Martial Souls. Still, I can sense that the power of that sword is not limited to this. If I had to explain it, the Dragon Abyss Sword is likely being restricted by the laws of this world. Even so, Rank 30 is already quite good. At the very least, Xiao Chen has achieved something unprecedented."

The other Elders could only accept this somewhat far-fetched explanation.

Qian Daoliu asked again, "Xiao Chen, I believe you may choose one master from among the other Elders besides me. With your talent, I do not think any of them would refuse."

Shen Tianchen nodded. After looking around, he set his gaze on the steady-tempered Sixth Elder, Qianjun Douluo, who also possessed a Weapon Martial Soul.

He then quickly walked before Qianjun Douluo, clasped his hands in salute, bowed slightly, and respectfully asked, "May I ask whether the Sixth Elder would be willing to take me as his disciple?"

Qianjun Douluo smiled. "Of course."

Ignoring the envious looks from the other Elders, Qianjun Douluo was about to help Shen Tianchen up. Little did he expect that Shen Tianchen had been waiting for those words. With a thud, he dropped to his knees and shouted, "Master above, please accept this disciple's bow!"

After saying that, he kowtowed three times. His actions left Qianjun Douluo stunned for two seconds, while the other Elders all shook their heads and smiled wryly. Thus, the apprenticeship ceremony was completed.

Qian Daoliu waved a hand. "Since the apprenticeship ceremony is complete, there is nothing else to discuss. Qian Jun, go find Xiao Chen a place to stay. Everyone else, disperse." The Elders nodded and returned to their respective rooms.

After traveling for more than an hour, Qianjun Douluo brought Shen Tianchen to an estate on the outskirts of Spirit City's eastern district. The area around the estate was relatively quiet, and its population was far smaller than in the other districts, making it ideal for Soul Masters to cultivate.

After bringing Shen Tianchen to the entrance of the estate, Qianjun Douluo stopped and handed him a Soul Tool. "Xiao Chen, there are some Cultivation Resources and Gold Soul Coins inside. Consider them your reward for becoming my disciple today. Also, get some rest early tonight. Tomorrow, I will take you to obtain your Soul Ring."

After receiving Shen Tianchen's reply, Qianjun Douluo left. Shen Tianchen then turned and entered the estate.
