Having learned what his Atlas Spear lacked, Yun Yuan no longer felt lost. His next goal was to temper Killing Intent into his Atlas Spear.
And there was only one simplest way to temper Killing Intent—slaughter. As it happened, Douluo Continent had places specifically meant for slaughter: the Great Soul Arenas.
The Great Soul Arenas were venues built for soul masters to fight in. Within them, soul masters could choose battles meant for sparring, or battles meant for slaughter.
Yun Yuan then bid Gu Feng farewell and headed for the Papal Palace in Martial Soul City to tell his Teacher, Qian Xunji, what he intended to do.
Participate in soul battles and nurture Killing Intent!
More than a month had passed since the Star Dou Great Forest incident. With Qian Daoliu's help, Qian Xunji's injuries had completely healed, so he was now usually found in the Papal Palace.
After a while, Yun Yuan appeared within the Papal Palace, with his Teacher, Qian Xunji, standing before him.
"Xiao Yuan, you're saying that you want to leave Martial Soul City and go to other main cities for Life and Death Soul Battles?"
"Why?"
Within the Papal Palace, Qian Xunji felt slightly puzzled upon hearing his Disciple's decision. He did not understand what Yun Yuan was planning.
Yun Yuan soon gave his explanation.
"Teacher, I have already entered the Spear Dao Second Realm and am still some distance from the Spear Intent Realm. Recently, I have felt that my Atlas Spear is missing something."
"That is Killing Intent. With my talent, if I merely shut myself away to comprehend the Spear Dao, there may be no bottleneck, but what is missing now will hinder my future progress in the Spear Dao."
"What this Disciple seeks is perfection in the Spear Dao. Therefore, battles of life and death are essential to me."
Yun Yuan's gaze was resolute, without the slightest wavering in his heart. Becoming a flower raised in a greenhouse was not what Yun Yuan wanted.
His dream was to become a god—not an ordinary god, but a Supreme God, a god beyond even a God King.
Therefore, Yun Yuan would not allow the slightest flaw in his Spear Dao. It would absolutely become a tremendous obstacle to his future development.
Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji did not stop Yun Yuan. Instead, he made a decision in his heart—to secretly send someone to protect Yun Yuan.
However, given Yun Yuan's strength, no Soul Grandmaster could threaten him. Even among Soul Elders a rank above him, Qian Xunji believed that no one could endanger his Disciple's life.
But what he feared was that Yun Yuan would challenge Opponents whose Soul Power Level far exceeded his own. After all, Yun Yuan was still a Youngster at heart, and Qian Xunji feared that he might act rashly in his high spirits.
Qian Xunji then looked toward Yun Yuan and slowly said:
"Teacher agrees to your request."
"However, Teacher hopes that you will return safely."
Yun Yuan nodded, indicating that he would return safely. He would not joke around with his own safety. There was only one purpose for this journey of soul battles: to nurture Killing Intent.
After leaving the Papal Palace, Yun Yuan returned to his own palace and began packing his belongings. This time, he was going to Leave Martial Soul City, because there was no Great Soul Arena within Martial Soul City.
The reason was simple. Martial Soul City was filled with Spirit Hall soul masters, and Spirit Hall had dedicated sparring grounds.
But their only drawback was that there were no battles where life and death were at stake.
That was why Yun Yuan was going to Leave Martial Soul City and travel to other main cities for Life and Death Soul Battles, nurturing the Killing Intent of his Atlas Spear.
The nearest main city to Martial Soul City with a Great Soul Arena was called Silves Great Soul Arena.
Silves City was the capital of the Silves Kingdom. It lay east of Spirit Hall and bordered Martial Soul City.
At the Papal Palace Back Mountain, just as Yun Yuan was packing his belongings, an adorable figure burst into his palace.
"Eh, what is Junior Brother doing?"
This adorable figure was Bibi Dong. Looking at Yun Yuan's actions, she was filled with confusion.
Driven by curiosity, Bibi Dong came to Yun Yuan's side. Her large eyes fixed on him as she asked:
"Junior Brother, why are you packing? Are you going to Leave Martial Soul City?"
As soon as she spoke, Bibi Dong looked at Yun Yuan expectantly. If he was going to Leave Martial Soul City, he could take her along.
Having stayed in Martial Soul City for nearly a year, she also wanted to see the colorful world outside. Besides, if she went with Yun Yuan, it would surely be even more interesting.
Yun Yuan did not think much of Bibi Dong's arrival. As he continued packing, he explained to her.
"That's right. I'm going to other main cities on the continent for soul battles, so I'll be leaving Martial Soul City for a while."
Seeing that Yun Yuan's plans were exactly as she had guessed, a glint flashed through Bibi Dong's eyes.
She immediately went to Yun Yuan's side, grabbed his arm, gave it a shake, and pleaded coquettishly:
"Junior Brother, can you take Senior Sister with you? I've been in Martial Soul City for a whole year, and I'm sick of it."
After saying that, Bibi Dong stared at Yun Yuan with her large eyes, hoping that he would agree. She desperately wanted to go out and have fun.
But Yun Yuan firmly shook his head. Clearly, he had no intention of taking Bibi Dong, this burden, with him.
If he took Bibi Dong along, the thought of not only fighting Life and Death Soul Battles but also having to accompany this lively Senior Sister gave Yun Yuan a headache and irritated him immensely.
Therefore, leaving Bibi Dong in Martial Soul City was more than appropriate. It would save him from being disturbed by this fun-loving Senior Sister.
Upon hearing that, a wronged expression appeared on Bibi Dong's face. Then she kept Entangling Yun Yuan, giving him a terrible headache.
An hour later.
Yun Yuan could no longer endure Bibi Dong's pestering. He looked at her resentfully and said unhappily:
"Senior Sister, you can go if you want. As long as you persuade Teacher. If Teacher is willing to let you Leave Martial Soul City with me, then I don't mind taking you along."
In the end, Yun Yuan chose to leave the entire problem to Qian Xunji. When it came to this Senior Sister of his, he truly had no solution.
"Alright, then I'll go find Teacher now."
Seeing that Yun Yuan had finally relented, Bibi Dong happily jumped up. Then, with delight written all over her face, she briskly ran toward the Papal Palace.
Right now, she was brimming with fighting spirit, determined to persuade her teacher to let her accompany Yun Yuan when he left Martial Soul City.
The next day, inside the Papal Palace.
Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong stood before Qian Xunji. Beside them stood an unfamiliar yet powerful soul master.
"Xiao Yuan, Dong'er, when you go to Silves City this time, this man will serve as the Guardian Douluo I have arranged for you."
"Like Teacher, he is also from the Angel Clan. His martial soul is the Six-Winged Angel, and he is the current Angel Legion Vice-Captain. His strength is not much inferior to Teacher's."
After Qian Xunji finished his introduction, Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong both bowed to this senior of the Angel Clan.
"Greetings, Senior."
Seeing how polite Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong were, the Angel Legion Vice-Captain smiled faintly and began introducing himself.
"Xiao Yuan, Dong'er, I'll address you two like that for now. You may call me Old Feng."
"This time, Xiao Yuan, you are going out to temper your Killing Intent. Your safety will be the responsibility of this old man."
