"At such a young age, you're already a Soul Elder. You must be one of Spirit Hall's key protégés. When I use your badges to gain my freedom, the looks on those old masters from Spirit Hall will surely be something to see."

The man burst into laughter. The fur of his Azure Wolf Martial Soul stood on end as it bared its fangs!

"You two little geniuses have picked the wrong man to provoke. Since you're ignorant, surrender obediently. I might even grant you a quick death."

Qiangu Changkong stepped forward with his staff in hand. "You haven't even fought us. How do you know what we're capable of?"

"Brother Wu, use that move."

With a loud shout, another layer of flames wrapped around the Coiling Dragon Staff.

This time, however, he did not attack directly. Instead, he began spinning the Coiling Dragon Staff where he stood.

Wu Qi hovered in midair, a Purple Soul Ring shining beneath his feet.

"Third Soul Skill, Storm Surge!"

The Qing Luan Martial Soul flapped its wings, stirring gust after gust of fierce wind.

The many gusts merged together, sweeping up the Undying Fire clinging to the Coiling Dragon Staff.

The flames Qiangu Changkong released were relatively weak, but with the raging wind's support, they now possessed Wildfire Momentum!

The fierce winds ignited, and their destructive power rose exponentially.

"How is this possible?!" The man's expression changed drastically, and none of his earlier composure remained.

An Ancient Exotic Beast was sealed within the Coiling Dragon Staff, and the flames on the Martial Soul came from it.

The Fire Tornado "roared" as it tore apart everything caught within it.

The two had practiced the coordination between their Soul Skills countless times. Now that they unleashed it, it had reached its peak state.

"It looks impressive, but it's all show!"

The man flew into a rage. The single Purple Soul Ring beneath his feet glowed brightly.

His aura instantly rose to an entirely new level as he charged directly into the Fire Tornado.

Wind Control Soul Skills mainly focused on control and were not especially powerful on their own.

But that was enough. Their opponent did not know that after Wu Qi released his Soul Skill, he did not need to remain in place and continuously channel Soul Power.

The man was held back by the Fire Tornado. Wu Qi swiftly moved behind him and activated his First Soul Skill.

He had not slacked off during these five years of training. His First Soul Skill, Wind Blade, no longer required a Soul Ring to be released!

Under his control, the Feather Blades condensed into a Great Saber and slashed toward the man!

Although Wu Qi's Soul Power Level was not high, the Fire Tornado he created was incredibly visually striking.

Even from a great distance away, it could still be seen clearly.

The criminals wandering outside the city began gathering in this direction.

With such a huge commotion, both sides would surely be exhausted once the battle ended.

These people were no saints. Every one of them wanted to rush to the battlefield and pick up some benefits.

The pincer attack from the Fire Tornado and Wu Qi broke the man's Fourth Soul Skill state. Immediately afterward, Qiangu Changkong charged out from the side and plunged a poison-coated dagger into the man's body.

Struck by deadly poison and with every escape route blocked, the man ultimately fell to the ground in bitter defeat.

The battle ended. Wu Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a breath of relief.

They had taken advantage of the environment and their coordinated Soul Skills, but in the end, they still had to rely on poison to bring him down.

Wu Qi could not help suspecting that this guy was most likely not a Low-level Soul Ancestor!

Qiangu Changkong could not help laughing. "Good thing Little Deer discovered the poison for us. Otherwise, killing this guy would have taken a lot more effort."

When they had found poisonous substances in the wilderness earlier, Wu Qi had thought they might as well make use of them. He had Qiangu Changkong crush them up and smear them on the dagger. Who would have thought they would prove useful at such a crucial moment?

With the Purple Badge in hand, Qiangu Changkong's mission was finally complete.

Suddenly, the two realized something was wrong. "I don't think we asked how we're supposed to leave."

If they flew directly out of Death Canyon, the Spirit Hall guards stationed outside might mistake them for prison escapees and shoot them dead on the spot.

Before the two could think further, the sounds of battle came from nearby.

The criminals scattered throughout the wilderness were no decent people. In their rush to Wu Qi's battlefield to scavenge some gains, they encountered one another along the way and immediately began fighting.

Without realizing it, they had resolved a crisis for the two boys.

Wu Qi frowned. "Let's go back to where we came from. Someone might be there to meet us."

To avoid running into those criminals, Wu Qi grabbed Qiangu Changkong's arm, and the two withdrew through the air.

They did not waste much time. Following the direction from which they had come, they reached the end of the canyon, where Qian Jun Douluo had already been waiting for quite some time.

"Grandfather, we completed our mission."

Qiangu Changkong rushed forward excitedly and took out the Purple Badge.

Qian Jun Douluo nodded. "You did well. The Death Canyon mission has been successfully completed."

On their way back to Spirit Hall, Qian Jun Douluo could not help asking, "Do you know what it means to complete the Death Canyon training?"

Qiangu Changkong looked confused.

Wu Qi, however, remembered something.

In the original timeline, Hu Liena and the other two had entered the Martial Soul Hall Golden Generation because of their training achievements in Death Canyon.

Wu Qi did not know what missions they had taken on, but his Survival Mission was clearly the least valuable of all the missions.

Seeing his expression, Qian Jun Douluo smiled helplessly. "Kid, there's no need to belittle yourself."

"I saw that battle just now. You killed a level forty-four Soul Ancestor despite being lower-ranked. You were the main force; Changkong merely assisted from the side."

The Golden Generation could only be nominated by Pope Hall. However, Wu Qi and the other boy had made almost no contribution to Spirit Hall, and completing just one Training Mission was still far from enough.

"Third Brother said that you two should enter Spirit Hall Academy next. You'll be close to us old fellows, making it easier for us to guide your future training."

Spirit Hall Academy was the dream of countless people, and Qiangu Changkong was no exception.

Wu Qi, on the other hand, seemed somewhat unwilling.

Qian Jun Douluo noticed it but said nothing.

They returned to the Worship Hall.

After training for a month, the two had returned safely. The offerings could not help praising them highly.

Still, the risks they encountered during this training had not been fatal, which gave Qiangu Changkong an inappropriate thought.

"Grandfathers, are you sure the Death Canyon training is really that difficult?"

As soon as he spoke, Wu Qi hurriedly covered his mouth.

It was not that the training was easy. Rather, Wu Qi could fly, allowing them to avoid lethal danger. Moreover, for a long time afterward, they had hidden in the outskirts, avoiding many unnecessary conflicts.

If they had drawn a mission that had to be carried out in the Inner City, it would absolutely have been a near-death experience for them.

Qian Daoliu did not respond, but Qian Jun Douluo stepped forward and kicked him. "You brat, this isn't the place for your wild boasting! Do you have no idea why you managed to complete the mission so quickly?"

Seeing the expressions of the offerings and Wu Qi, Qiangu Changkong silently lowered his head and did not say a word.

Qian Daoliu raised a hand. "Sixth Brother, young people can be a little rash. It's understandable."

"Third Brother, take them down first. Handle the later arrangements according to your own ideas."

Once they left the Worship Hall, Qiangu Changkong felt as though he had been granted a reprieve.

"That scared me to death. If Grandpa Qian got angry, Grandfather would probably hang me up and whip me again."

Among the several offerings, Guangling Douluo was the easiest to talk to, followed by Azure Phoenix Douluo.

Azure Phoenix Douluo smiled faintly. "The reason Sixth Brother was angry was because you lack a heart of reverence."
