Lu Duzhou: Teacher, You Can Sit on the Pope's Throne Too! (Request Monthly Ticket)

It took Yue Guan a full three minutes to calm his excitement.

He looked at Lu Duzhou seriously.

"Are you really willing to take me as your teacher?"

"Through my senses just now, I could tell that you have reached at least Level Thirty. Your physical body is stronger than that of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone bearer, and you have consumed four Immortal Herbs. Your future achievements will absolutely surpass mine."

"Or rather, they will definitely surpass mine!"

"With talent like yours, you are willing to take me as your teacher?"

Lu Duzhou spoke.

"My Martial Soul is soil. I need to plant various Plant-type Martial Souls to gain enhancements."

"Your Martial Soul is currently the strongest Plant-type Martial Soul."

"Taking you as my teacher is the best choice for me."

"Besides, the first Immortal Herb I consumed was the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum."

"Your Martial Soul is the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. If I can receive your guidance and help, I will definitely absorb its medicinal strength better and grow faster."

"Teacher, please accept this bow from your student!"

Yue Guan excitedly stepped forward and supported Lu Duzhou as he bent down in salute, smiling as he said,

"Good, very good!"

"I never thought that I, Yue Guan, could have such a gifted student!"

"Xiao Zhou, how about coming to Spirit Hall with me? I will definitely secure the best cultivation resources for you from the Pope."

Hearing this, Lu Duzhou's eyes shifted as he asked,

"Teacher, if I join Spirit Hall, how many Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones can you give me?"

The smile on Yue Guan's face froze.

He and Gui Mei had served Spirit Hall for so many years, yet they had not received even a single Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.

How could he promise his student several Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones?

Lu Duzhou feigned surprise.

"What is it? Teacher, surely Spirit Hall, the number one Soul Master power on the continent, would not begrudge me a few Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones?"

"I am a genius who has consumed four Immortal Herbs!"

"Oh, right, Teacher. How many Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones do you have?"

Yue Guan sighed.

"To be honest with you, Teacher does not have a single Soul Bone on him."

"Over the years, I did obtain several Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones alongside the Pope, but she put them all away and never gave any to us."

Lu Duzhou was stunned.

"What?!"

"She is actually so harsh and ungrateful?"

"Teacher, why are you still following someone like that?"

Yue Guan glared at him and scolded,

"Do not discuss the Pope!"

"You have no idea how powerful she is!"

"If the Pope truly wanted to make a move against you, even I could not protect you."

Lu Duzhou gave an awkward laugh.

"I only said that because you are the only one here!"

"But she really is far too unfair!"

"It seems I cannot join Spirit Hall. At most, I can only put my name down in secret."

"After all, there are no benefits."

"Teacher, I still have several Immortal Herbs here. Although I gave one to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and one to the Heaven Dou Crown Prince, I can give one of the remaining ones to you."

"As the owner of a Plant-type Martial Soul, an Immortal Herb will definitely provide you with an obvious enhancement. Breaking through directly to Level Ninety-six should not be a problem."

"Oh, and the reason Dugu Yan's Martial Soul evolved was because of an Immortal Herb."

"These Immortal Herbs originally belonged to Dugu Mianxia. I did him a great favor, and since he did not know their effects, he gave them all to me."

"Also, the reason one can undergo Over-Limit Soul Ring Absorption is that melting Whale Rubber and consuming it can greatly strengthen the physical body."

Upon hearing Lu Duzhou spill all his secrets at once and directly promise him an Immortal Herb, Yue Guan was deeply moved.

He had followed Bibi Dong through life-and-death battles and devoted himself wholeheartedly to Spirit Hall, yet he had not received even a single Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.

But now, his newly accepted student had directly told him secrets representing such immense benefits and was even going to give him an Immortal Herb.

Even a fool knew which side he should draw closer to.

At that moment, Lu Duzhou continued,

"I used Whale Rubber and an Immortal Herb to ask Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo to help me hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. The Soul Ring and Soul Bone obtained will both belong to me."

"When the time comes, I will give that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone to you, Teacher. That should allow you to raise your Soul Power by another level."

"Once we are strong enough, Teacher can sit on the Pope's throne first. When you no longer want it, you can pass it on to me."

Yue Guan shuddered in fright and quickly covered Lu Duzhou's mouth.

"You brat, how do you dare say anything and everything!?"

"Spirit Hall is not as simple as it appears. The Title Douluo in the Elder Hall are merely the surface. The Worship Hall has many powerful Title Douluo as well, and their combat strength is an entire level above that of the Elder Hall."

"Especially the Grand Worshipper, Qian Daoliu. He is a Level Ninety-nine Limit Douluo, an existence capable of communicating with gods."

"How can we covet the Pope's throne!?"

After pausing, he remembered Lu Duzhou's earlier promise to give him a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and continued,

"Also, that Heaven Dou Empire Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe, is actually Qian Renxue, the Pope's daughter, in disguise. You made a deal with her, so what did she promise you?"

Lu Duzhou put on a surprised expression and pointed at Yue Guan's hand covering his mouth.

Yue Guan released him, and he said in feigned shock,

"I merely discovered that she was a woman disguised as a man, so I made a deal with her. In the future, our child would become the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire."

"So she is actually the daughter of Spirit Hall's Pope? Then does that not mean our deal is ruined?"

"Would His Excellency the Pope agree to let her daughter bear my child?"

Yue Guan could hardly believe his ears.

He asked incredulously,

"You mean Qian Renxue Dianxia agreed to bear your child?"

Lu Duzhou nodded.

"Our plan is this: have Dugu Yan marry her and become the Crown Princess, then I will have both of them as my women."

"Once we have children in the future, our child will inherit the throne."

"On one hand, this can solidify her current position as Crown Prince and completely establish the heir's identity."

"On the other hand, as a woman, she will definitely need a man to help her bear children in the future if she wants to pass down the throne."

"And my talent and appearance are both considered top-tier."

"Originally, I thought the two of us might hit it off immediately, each getting what we needed."

"But now that I know she is the Pope's daughter, I am afraid things will not be so simple."

"She may very well be agreeing to me on the surface. Once she obtains the throne and the Immortal Herb, she will probably make a move against me."

After hearing his account, Yue Guan thought, Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free benefit in this world.

He had accepted such a student and had been promised both an Immortal Herb and a Soul Bone, so he had to help deal with the trouble as well.

After thinking for a while, Yue Guan said,

"Do not give her the Immortal Herb yet."

"Inheriting the throne will take time. Delay it for as long as you can."

"I will give you a Spirit Hall Elder token. If Her Highness pressures you too much, show the token to stabilize her for the time being, then send me a message."

"I will only tell Salas, the Platinum Bishop of Heaven Dou City, about your identity. Then Qian Renxue Dianxia can go to Salas for confirmation."

Lu Duzhou immediately understood what he meant.

"Teacher, do you mean that you do not intend to inform Spirit Hall yet that you have accepted me as your student?"
