Gu Han soon arrived at Dragon City's Spirit Hall Main Hall with the Soul Ancestor Deacon.

Inside the hall, a middle-aged man and an alluring-looking man were waiting.

Before Gu Han or the Deacon could speak, the alluring man spoke first.

"So this is the little genius with a hundred consecutive victories at the Dragon City Great Soul Arena? He certainly looks quite presentable."

Facing that man's gaze, Gu Han felt a tightening in his chrysanthemum, and a wave of disgust rose in his heart.

He also recognized the other man's identity: Yue Guan. However, judging by the badge on his chest and his clothes, he was still a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse and had yet to become a Title Douluo.

Spirit Hall had strict requirements regarding clothing, with each rank clearly distinguished. Only elders at the Title Douluo level were qualified to wear red robes.

Moreover, the Spirit Hall Token currently bore no chrysanthemum emblem. Instead, it displayed a hammer, a sword, and a dragon, with a pair of Angel Wings behind them.

They respectively represented the Clear Sky Hammer, Seven Kill Sword, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and Six-Winged Angel.

However, there were still more than thirty years to go before the events of the original story. There was nothing surprising about Chrysanthemum Douluo still being a Soul Douluo.

"Boy, I'm the Bishop here, Kars. This is Lord Yue Guan, the Platinum Bishop of Spirit Hall."

"Junior Gu Han greets Lord Yue Guan and Lord Kars."

Gu Han placed one hand over his chest and bowed slightly.

"Mm, not bad."

Yue Guan suddenly seized Gu Han's wrist. Raising his eyebrows, he praised, "For someone so young, your Soul Power is actually this dense. Truly remarkable."

Gu Han's heart trembled slightly, but he quickly composed himself again and said humbly, "You flatter me, my lord."

"Mm. I came this time to take you to Spirit Hall Holy City for training. There, you'll receive better cultivation resources."

After a brief exchange, Yue Guan explained the purpose of his visit.

At first, he had thought Gu Han might have used some secret method that consumed his own potential to raise his cultivation. But after examining him just now, he dismissed that idea.

This child was indeed quite good. Although his talent was lacking, if he received effective training and worked hard himself, becoming a Soul Saint was still possible. By then, he would also become one of Spirit Hall's core forces.

Spirit Masters had two major dividing lines. The first was the Soul Saint realm. Across the entire continent, there were only a thousand or so Spirit Masters capable of breaking through to Soul Saint. They were by no means numerous.

The second major watershed was naturally the Title Douluo realm. There were fewer than twenty Title Douluo across the entire Douluo Continent, making them as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

As for this child Gu Han, although his talent was only average, Yue Guan could be certain that he absolutely possessed the potential to become a Soul Saint.

"Are you willing to come with me?"

Yue Guan asked again.

"Of course. I'm willing to go with you, my lord."

Gu Han did not refuse. After all, the educational resources in Spirit City were indeed far better than those in ordinary cities. More importantly, the library in Spirit City surely contained far more books and materials.

Moreover, it was where the continent's geniuses gathered. Once he arrived there, he would be able to undergo genuine trials.

"Mm, very good. Go back and pack whatever you need. We'll leave tomorrow."

Yue Guan nodded in satisfaction. He had originally expected to spend more time persuading him, but he had not expected the child to agree so decisively.

He showed none of the reluctance to leave home or fear of an unfamiliar environment that other children displayed before departing.

"No need, my lord. I don't have anything to bring."

Gu Han shook his head. All his important possessions were stored inside the White Jade Pendant. The rest were just odds and ends, along with a large pile of love letters he had tossed into the trash and had not yet gotten around to clearing out...

"Nothing? Then we'll leave directly."

Yue Guan nodded. Since the other party had nothing to bring, they could set off right away.

After all, no one was looking after his garden. Those flowers and plants were like his children, and he feared that something or other would happen to them if he stayed away too long.

"Uh, all right."

Gu Han nodded. Yue Guan seemed even more impatient than he was. Could he have some important matter that required him to hurry back and deal with it?

Gu Han followed Yue Guan outside, where a luxurious Pegasus Carriage was already waiting by the entrance.

"How come I didn't see it when we arrived..."

Gu Han muttered under his breath.

"Boy, what are you mumbling about? Hurry up and get in."

Yue Guan held one hand in an orchid-finger gesture against his chin, fully displaying his alluring manner.

"Yes, Lord Yue Guan."

Gu Han felt another wave of disgust, but he endured it and hurriedly followed him into the carriage.

"Giddy up!"

The carriage was drawn by two white Spirit Beasts with wings growing from their backs. It was an exclusive carriage that only those above the Soul Douluo level in Spirit Hall were qualified to ride.

Although its flying speed was inferior to that of a Title Douluo with a flying-type Martial Soul, it was still quite impressive.

The carriage flew a thousand meters above the ground. Gu Han lifted the curtain, watching the city below gradually grow smaller and more distant.

Yue Guan withdrew his gaze from outside and turned to look at Gu Han. After sizing him up, he finally could not resist asking about the question that had been troubling him.

"Boy, let me ask you something. When I examined your body earlier, I discovered that your bones seemed to indicate that you had cultivated a Self-Created Soul Skill. Is that right?"

Gu Han froze. He recalled that in the original story, Li Yusong had also guessed that Tang San had practiced the Mysterious Jade Hand by feeling his bones.

Although Gu Han had not practiced the Mysterious Jade Hand, he had practiced a special grappling technique. Thus, he did not hide it and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Yes. I just practiced it blindly based on my own circumstances. It's nothing worth mentioning."

"Mm, not bad. You really are a genius. What a pity your Innate Soul Power is too low."

Yue Guan shook his head with some regret. Anyone capable of creating a Soul Skill of their own had to possess a deep understanding of their own Martial Soul. Gu Han had created a Soul Skill at such a young age, which was enough to demonstrate his extraordinary talent.

Someone so remarkably gifted would ultimately be held back by his talent. Even if Spirit Hall exhausted every method at its disposal, it could probably only help this child barely break through to Soul Saint.

The heavens truly enjoyed toying with people. How tragic and lamentable.

Gu Han blinked, feeling somewhat speechless. He complained inwardly, Yue Guan's inner drama is really something else.

But speaking of talent, perhaps he could reveal something to increase his future value to Spirit Hall.

After considering it carefully, Gu Han decided to reveal the matter of Whale Rubber. In any case, this thing was easy to explain and would not bring him any losses.

"Lord Yue Guan."

"Just call me Senior from now on. Hearing you call me 'my lord' all the time makes me uncomfortable."

Yue Guan formed an orchid-finger gesture and gave Gu Han a flirtatious glance.

Although Gu Han knew that this was simply his personality, he still felt another wave of disgust. He forcibly pulled a smile onto his face and nodded.

"All right, Senior Yue Guan."

"Mm, that's better. Go on, what did you want to ask just now?" Only then did Yue Guan nod in satisfaction, lazily leaning against the carriage wall.
