At the urging of Pope Qian Xunji, the Red Cardinal carried the crystal ball for testing Innate Soul Power to Yun Yuan.
"Child, quickly, place your hand on it."
Hearing this, Yun Yuan also recovered from his delight at the Martial Soul Awakening.
He had actually awakened the Martial Soul of the Sky Pillar Douluo from Twenty Thousand Years Later—the Atlas Spear!
How powerful was that Qingtian's talent Ten Thousand Years Later? He broke through to Title Douluo at twenty-three, became a Super Douluo at twenty-six, achieved the rank of Limit Douluo at thirty-one, reached the Quasi-God realm at thirty-five, and became the strongest person on Douluo Continent.
He had possessed extraordinary bearing and, with an Atlas Spear in hand, directly suppressed the Soul Master World of that era, earning the admiration of countless Soul Masters.
With the Atlas Spear Martial Soul, along with his innate comprehension and exceptional aptitude, Yun Yuan was confident that he would absolutely not lose to Yun Ming in the future.
Thinking this, Yun Yuan placed his palm on the crystal ball for testing Soul Power and began to check his Innate Soul Power.
Just as Yun Yuan had expected, the crystal ball emitted dazzling white light, signifying that Yun Yuan was a Peerless Prodigy with Innate Full Soul Power.
"Hahaha, Heaven bless our Spirit Hall!"
Seeing this scene, Qian Xunji burst into laughter. With a flash, he arrived beside Yun Yuan.
"Child, are you willing to take me as your teacher?"
Qian Xunji looked at Yun Yuan with a kind expression, his eyes filled with admiration.
A Peerless Prodigy with Innate Full Soul Power and a Martial Soul whose quality surpassed even the Clear Sky Hammer naturally ought to become his, Qian Xunji's, disciple.
With Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong, these two Peerless Prodigies, Qian Xunji believed that decades later, their Spirit Hall would surely rise to an even higher level.
Faced with Qian Xunji's offer to take him as a disciple, Yun Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately replied:
"Your Eminence the Pope, I'm willing!"
Qian Xunji was currently the Pope of Spirit Hall and also the clan leader of the Angel Clan. His power could be described as immense, second only to his father, Qian Daoliu.
Although Qian Daoliu did not concern himself with the affairs of Spirit Hall and the Angel Clan, in the end, Qian Daoliu was the true foundation of Spirit Hall.
His word was an edict within Spirit Hall, and no one dared disobey it—not even Qian Xunji, who was the Pope.
As for Qian Xunji's disciple and an ordinary genius of Spirit Hall, there was no need to say which of them would receive more resources and better guidance.
Only an idiot would refuse to become the disciple of Qian Xunji, the Pope of Spirit Hall, at a time like this.
"Good. From today onward, you are my second disciple."
Seeing Yun Yuan agree, the smile on Qian Xunji's face grew even wider, and his eyes filled with affection.
"Dong'er, come over and greet your junior brother."
Qian Xunji looked toward Bibi Dong in the distance and called her over, intending to let the Senior Sister and Junior Brother get acquainted.
Hearing her Teacher's instruction, Bibi Dong walked briskly over and came to Qian Xunji's side. Her eyes constantly sized up the Junior Brother before her.
"My name is Bibi Dong. I'm Teacher's first disciple, so I'll be your Senior Sister from now on."
"By the way, what's your name, and where are you from?"
After introducing herself, Bibi Dong asked, wanting to learn about Yun Yuan's background.
Hearing this, Qian Xunji, who stood nearby, also turned his gaze toward Yun Yuan.
Now that he thought about it, he still did not know his disciple's name. It seemed he would have to learn more about this new disciple later.
"Teacher, Senior Sister, my name is Yun Yuan. I'm from the Martial Soul Orphanage."
Yun Yuan looked at Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong in turn before slowly answering.
Upon hearing Yun Yuan's background, a sense of shared misfortune appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes as she looked at him.
It turned out that they were both orphans. The only advantage Yun Yuan had was that he had grown up in Spirit Hall, whereas Bibi Dong had grown up in a beggars' den.
Meanwhile, after learning this, Qian Xunji's eyes revealed heartache, and he secretly resolved to treat this young disciple even better in the future.
The children of Spirit Hall's Orphanage had parents who had all died as heroes serving Spirit Hall.
As the Pope of Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji naturally ought to care for their children—especially since Yun Yuan was now his disciple.
With this thought, Qian Xunji rubbed Yun Yuan's head and comforted him:
"Child, from now on, Dong'er and I will be your closest Teacher and Senior Sister. If anything happens, just tell us."
Hearing her Teacher's comfort, Bibi Dong also echoed him from the side:
"That's right, Junior Brother. If you have any problems in the future, just tell your Senior Sister. I'm already a Soul Master, so your Senior Sister will protect you from now on."
After some pleasantries, Qian Xunji began discussing serious matters.
"Xiao Yuan, now that you've become my disciple, you'll follow your Teacher and study from now on."
"By the way, does your Martial Soul have a name? Or do you plan to name it yourself? I can also name it for you if you'd like."
In response to Qian Xunji's question, Yun Yuan enlarged his Atlas Spear Martial Soul and planted it before him, displaying the two large characters, "Qingtian," where the shaft met the spearhead for Qian Xunji to see.
"Qingtian? That's a good name. It truly carries the imposing air of a spear that reaches the heavens."
Looking at the two forceful characters on the Atlas Spear, Qian Xunji gave his evaluation.
Afterward, Qian Xunji took Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong to watch the youngsters who were still undergoing Martial Soul Awakening nearby.
Without exception, however, their Martial Souls were all ordinary, and their Soul Power was merely at an average level.
"Alas, I was being too greedy. For Peerless Prodigies like Xiao Yuan and Dong'er to appear at the same time is already the limit. I shouldn't ask for more."
After sighing, Qian Xunji left the place with Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong.
Next, Qian Xunji prepared a luxurious palace for Yun Yuan. It was located atop a mountain behind the Papal Palace, neighboring Bibi Dong's palace.
As Senior Sister and Junior Brother, Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong were deliberately brought closer together by Qian Xunji.
When Yun Yuan arrived before the palace Qian Xunji had prepared for him, he could not help sighing at its luxury. It even had a dedicated cultivation area.
"Xiao Yuan, this is your palace from now on. Your Senior Sister's palace is right next door. If anything happens, you can go to her."
Qian Xunji instructed Yun Yuan. He was exceptionally fond of this new young disciple.
"Thank you, Teacher."
Yun Yuan cupped his hands toward Qian Xunji and thanked him.
"Mm. In that case, I have important matters to handle, so I'll leave first."
"Starting tomorrow, come with your Senior Sister to see me. I'll teach you about cultivation."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Xunji turned his gaze toward Bibi Dong and instructed her as well.
"Dong'er, treat your Junior Brother well from now on. As fellow disciples, you two must support each other and ascend to the peak of the Soul Master path together. That is what your Teacher hopes to see."
"Understood, Dong'er?"
Qian Xunji was very uneasy about his first disciple. After all, his eldest disciple was rather mischievous, and he feared that her interactions with Yun Yuan in the future might damage their relationship.
