As for why he chose the Fifth Elder, Qianjun Douluo, first of all, Qianjun Douluo was level 96, and his strength spoke for itself. Secondly, Tang Hao should currently be level 95. What was more, his old injuries from back then still hadn't healed, so he probably couldn't bring out the full strength of a level 95 Soul Master. But then again, he could use Ring Detonation. Just how much that would boost his strength was still unknown, so having Qianjun Douluo deal with Tang Hao shouldn't be a problem. Lastly, although Qianjun Douluo and Xiangmo Douluo were twins and usually handled any errands for the Worship Hall together, Xiangmo Douluo was unrestrained and somewhat impulsive, while Qianjun Douluo was steadier and more experienced, which made him more dependable.

As for the first stop on Qian Renyu's journey, it was naturally the Spirit Hall Branch in Nuoding City. After all, Tang Hao and Tang San, the two renowned Widowed Wife Douluos, both lived in Holy Soul Village nearby.

Tang Hao's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring had come from his wife, Ah Yin, a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Grass, sacrificing herself for him. Tang San's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring had come from his beloved, Xiao Wu, a hundred-thousand-year Rogue Rabbit, sacrificing herself for him. The title Widowed Wife Douluo was certainly well deserved. Both generations of father and son had encountered such extraordinary good fortune. One had to admit, the Tang family men had quite a way with things.

Furthermore, the famous Blind Douluo, Su Yuntao, also worked here.

Before long, Qian Renyu, Qianjun Douluo, Demon Bear Douluo, and Ghost Leopard Douluo arrived in Nuoding City.

The Spirit Hall's branches were ranked from lowest to highest as the Spirit Hall Branch, Martial Soul Sub-Hall, Martial Soul Main Hall, and Martial Soul Sacred Hall.

Nuoding City was only a small town, so the Spirit Hall presence here was just a branch.

Yet today, this little Spirit Hall Branch had become lively, because several important figures had arrived.

What kind of important figures?

Naturally, it was Qian Renyu and his three companions.

As soon as they reached the Spirit Hall Branch in Nuoding City, Demon Bear Douluo took out the Elder Token.

Only Titled Douluos could possess an Elder Token in Spirit Hall, which meant that one of the people before them was a Titled Douluo.

Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo, the presiding cleric of the Nuoding City Spirit Hall Branch, stood inside the hall with an expression of reverence, anxiety, and excitement.

Why was he excited? They were Titled Douluos. Who wouldn't be excited to see one?

Why was he anxious? They were Titled Douluos. Who wouldn't be nervous to see one?

Why was he excited? They were Titled Douluos. Who wouldn't be excited to see one?

Behind Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo stood the other staff of the Nuoding City Spirit Hall Sub-Hall.

"Who is Su Yuntao?" Qian Renyu asked from his seat at the head of the room.

"My lord, I'm Su Yuntao." Su Yuntao stepped out of the crowd, uneasy.

The others were puzzled when they heard Qian Renyu ask for Su Yuntao. When had Su Yuntao gotten to know such an important figure?

One particularly beautiful woman in the crowd looked at Su Yuntao with a new light in her eyes.

This woman was Si Si, the one Grandmaster Su Yuntao loved but could never win over.

Looking at Su Yuntao, Qian Renyu felt quite excited. After all, this was the famous Blind Douluo.

People even joked:

[Tao's just a nobody—one more God-King joins the ranks]

[The transmigrators come and go, but Su Yuntao stands firm]

[The Douluo world could no more lose Brother Tao than the West could lose Jerusalem]

"Grandmaster Su Yuntao, there's no need to be nervous. I've long heard of your fame, so I took the liberty of asking for you. I hope you don't take offense," Qian Renyu said gently to the apprehensive-looking Su Yuntao.

"N-no problem," Su Yuntao said awkwardly, rubbing his head. He wondered to himself, Am I really that famous? How come I don't know it?

Qianjun Douluo, who had been sitting nearby with his eyes closed, slowly opened them at Qian Renyu's words. Grandmaster Su Yuntao, a man of great renown? How come I've never heard of him? Could I have been cooped up in the Worship Hall for too long and fallen behind on the news?

That was possible. After all, only Fifth Elder Guangling Douluo often went out from the Worship Hall. Maybe he, Qianjun, had simply been too ignorant.

Thinking this, Qianjun Douluo carefully straightened his collar and adjusted his posture. Then he released his perception toward Su Yuntao.

A level 26 Soul Grandmaster?

Could it be that he, Qianjun, was getting old and his perception was weakening? That didn't make sense.

So Qianjun Douluo rubbed his eyes and focused his perception on Su Yuntao again.

He really was a level 26 Soul Grandmaster. There was no mistake.

He didn't even have as much Soul Power as that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang.

Were the standards for becoming a grandmaster really so low these days?

Qianjun Douluo couldn't understand it.

Then Qianjun Douluo looked toward Demon Bear Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo and secretly asked them about Su Yuntao. He found that they were just as bewildered.

A bewildered fruit on the bewilderment tree,

you and me beneath the bewilderment tree.

It wasn't just the three of them who were baffled. Even Ma Xiunuo, the presiding cleric of the Nuoding City Spirit Hall Branch, looked utterly confused. Had Su Yuntao become this famous? Since when?

Then my position as presiding cleric—

Hiss... Hiss. The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed.

You, Su Yuntao! I treated you well, and you repaid me by hiding your true intentions. You really are a piece of work.

Si Si, who was being pursued by Su Yuntao, was also bewildered. This simp is that famous? I, Si Si, never cared for wealth or status. So why was I suddenly moved by Su Yuntao's pursuit?

The people of the Nuoding City Spirit Hall Branch:

[The tiger and leopard hide in the mountains; the qilin lies buried in the fields. Su Yuntao is truly a man of hidden depths.]

[The finest warriors make no great show of their achievements. Su Yuntao really is extraordinary.]

[Where peach and plum trees make no claims, a path forms beneath them. That saying must have been made for Su Yuntao.]

[Same here.]

Seeing everyone in the hall looking bewildered, Qian Renyu was baffled too.

What was going on?

Could it be that Su Yuntao wasn't well liked, and everyone was surprised that I'd praised him?

That didn't make sense.

If that were the case, it would at least explain the people from the Nuoding City Spirit Hall Sub-Hall. But why were Qianjun Douluo, Demon Bear Douluo, and Ghost Leopard Douluo acting the same way?

Especially Qianjun Douluo.

You're already so old, and you spend your days cultivating your mind in the Worship Hall. How come you can't even control your emotions?

While everyone was still looking bewildered, Ma Xiunuo, the presiding cleric of the Nuoding City Spirit Hall Branch, promptly stepped forward.

"My lord, it's almost mealtime. How about we eat first?"

"Sure. Let's eat first."

At the table, Qianjun Douluo sat right beside Qian Renyu. More than once, he wanted to ask Qian Renyu about that Su Yuntao.

But each time the thought came to him, Qianjun Douluo firmly suppressed it.

After all, he was Qianjun Douluo, a mighty level 96 Titled Douluo. Ask a level 26 Soul Grandmaster?

He simply couldn't bring himself to do it.
