"The missions you drew weren't complicated and were relatively easy to complete. But you mustn't let a streak of good luck lead you to generalize and think that training in Death Canyon carries no risks."

"Of course, luck is also part of strength."

Azure Phoenix Douluo hit the nail on the head.

Wu Qi had drawn a Survival Mission, which was why he could keep watch with Qiangu Changkong outside the Inner City.

Had it been any other mission, Wu Qi would not have had the time to spare.

With Qiangu Changkong alone, the danger of his Collection Mission would inevitably have multiplied several times over.

As he spoke, Azure Phoenix Douluo looked at Wu Qi with both gratification and a hint of helplessness. "Sixth Brother told me. Do you have a different opinion about my arrangements?"

Having one's own ideas was a good thing, but one could not be too fanciful.

Wu Qi was not surprised by this.

How could he possibly understand the means of communication between the Worshippers?

He gave the other man a slight bow. "Master, I don't want to go to Spirit Hall Academy for three reasons."

"First, our age gives us no advantage at Spirit Hall Academy. Many of the academy's training missions, including the selection of participants for the Soul Master Tournament, will not prioritize us."

"Second, the academy is directly under Pope Hall's jurisdiction. Given our relationship with Her Holiness the Pope, if we go there, we may be targeted both openly and in secret."

"At this stage, we only want to cultivate diligently. We don't want to get involved in all this scheming and infighting."

"Third, uh... I haven't thought of it yet. I'll add it later."

He could not exactly say that he knew the Next Next Soul Master Tournament would not be held, and that he would struggle to become a Main Player in the next Soul Master Tournament, so he did not want to go to Spirit Hall Academy, could he?

Knowing the future was complete nonsense. If he really predicted it correctly, Worship Hall would probably slice him up for research.

Of course, his main objective was still the Immortal Herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

For that, he had to go to Heaven Dou City.

A few years ago, using Azure Phoenix Douluo's authority, he had looked through reports submitted by Spirit Hall branch halls across the land. Among them, he had seen Tang San's name.

At last, he understood why Spirit Hall had overlooked Tang San.

Based on his own understanding, Su Yuntao had only written in the report that Tang San possessed Soul Power, without recording what rank his Innate Soul Power was. Moreover, Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul had been prominently marked on it.

In that case, even if the report had been placed before Qian Daoliu, who would care about a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master?

Tang San's age was listed in the report. Wu Qi had calculated that they were the same age, their birthdates differing by no more than a few months.

After hearing his explanation, Azure Phoenix Douluo smiled helplessly. "Stop playing tricks. Those reasons aren't enough to convince anyone."

Wu Qi rubbed his nose and glanced around. "Master, you know I came from Heaven Dou City. Before I was brought to Spirit Hall back then, I discovered something."

"What does that have to do with you not wanting to go to Spirit Hall Academy?" Azure Phoenix Douluo asked.

Qiangu Changkong could not help but grow curious.

Wu Qi rarely spoke nonsense. Since he had brought this up now, it had to be connected somehow.

Spirit Hall Academy was not somewhere they absolutely had to attend. With their talents, they had many other options.

Unable to think of a better idea, Wu Qi decided to use Qian Renxue as a shield.

Seeing how mysterious he was acting, and worried that he had truly uncovered some secret, Azure Phoenix Douluo brought the two of them back to the manor.

Wu Qi released Little Deer from his Soul Tool and let it "play" around the manor.

"Tell me. What did you discover?" Azure Phoenix Douluo asked.

Wu Qi said, "Has the Heaven Dou Empire Crown Prince joined Spirit Hall?"

"Master, before you came to pick me up, His Highness the Crown Prince told me—"

Qian Renxue's Identity was no secret within Worship Hall, but to Spirit Hall, it was top-secret information.

Wu Qi's ability to deduce this startled Azure Phoenix Douluo. He hurriedly asked, "Who else have you told about this?"

Once Qian Renxue's identity was exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable!

If anyone else knew, they had to immediately clean up the loose ends and prevent any unnecessary trouble.

Wu Qi shook his head. "How could I have understood such things before? I only recalled it during training a few days ago. Master, the Heaven Dou Empire Crown Prince hasn't really joined Spirit Hall, has he?"

Azure Phoenix Douluo said nothing more.

After a pause, master and disciple seemed to share the same thought as they turned their gazes toward Qiangu Changkong beside them.

Qiangu Changkong gave a bitter smile. This did not seem like something he should be hearing.

Seeing their looks, he quickly covered his ears. "I didn't hear anything. What were you two just talking about?"

He was Qian Jun Douluo's grandson, after all. If he knew, he knew. They could not possibly kill him to silence him.

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Azure Phoenix Douluo immediately said, "Return to Worship Hall. We must discuss this matter with the Great Offering."

Within Worship Hall.

Qian Daoliu was discussing something with several other Worshippers.

The conflict between Worship Hall and Pope Hall was destined to be a war without smoke.

Wu Qi and Qiangu Changkong came from Worship Hall and had completed the Death Canyon trial. Therefore, Qian Daoliu proposed nominating them for the Martial Soul Hall Golden Generation to contend with the Golden Generation under Bibi Dong.

Naturally, the Worshippers had no objections to Qian Daoliu's proposal.

Golden Crocodile Douluo said, "Big Brother, if we do that, we won't be able to suppress Pope Hall."

"Bibi Dong is coming on strong. She has also let her disciple obtain the Golden Generation honor and the Purple Record Badge. For a long time to come, she will become an object of admiration among the young people in the hall."

"Instead, why not delay both the Golden Generation and Purple Record Badge for a while? At least give Xiao Wu and Changkong some more time to grow."

After a brief moment of thought, Qian Daoliu agreed.

At the same time, the doors of the great hall were pushed open, and Azure Phoenix Douluo returned with Wu Qi and the other two.

Before Qian Daoliu could ask, Azure Phoenix Douluo used Sound Transmission to inform all the Worshippers of the situation.

The Worshippers abruptly rose to their feet and turned their gazes toward Qian Daoliu.

With a smile on his face, Qian Daoliu looked at Wu Qi. "You deduced all of this?"

Wu Qi nodded and explained.

But he would never admit to possessing God's Perspective.

"So, what does this have to do with you not wanting to join Spirit Hall Academy?"

Wu Qi said seriously, "If we join Spirit Hall Academy, neither our age nor our strength will stand out. We will have no chance to participate deeply in the Soul Master Tournament."

"I think that since the Heaven Dou Empire Crown Prince is one of us, and since our Martial Souls do not easily reveal our origins, why can't we study at a Soul Master Academy in the Heaven Dou Empire?"

"Other than Spirit Hall Academy, we would definitely be Main Players in the next tournament at any other academy. Once we accumulate enough tournament experience, wouldn't it be easier to win the championship if we fought as Main Players of the Martial Soul Hall Team in the Next Next Soul Master Tournament?"

Qian Daoliu acknowledged this point.

Spirit Hall Academy and the Royal Academies of the two great empires would enter the Finals directly. Without the tempering of the preliminaries and the Promotion Tournament, they would ultimately lack a certain degree of polish.

Furthermore, Qian Renxue truly needed help by her side. The two of them were not well known within Spirit Hall, and their Martial Souls would not easily expose their origins. They were the most suitable people to stay at Qian Renxue's side.
