Golden Crocodile Dragon, Azure Luan, Golden Flame Mad Lion, Extreme Ice God Bow, Coiling Dragon Staff.
Salas looked at Tian Yao and the others' Martial Souls, and all sorts of thoughts immediately came to mind.
They were all high-ranking Soul Ancestors, and that Martial Soul, the Golden Crocodile Dragon—if he remembered correctly, the Second Worship's Martial Soul was the Golden Crocodile King.
And the Azure Luan—that was the Third Offering's Martial Soul. As for the Golden Flame Mad Lion, the Fourth Offering's Martial Soul was the Blazing Lion. The two were probably... And then there was the Extreme Ice God Bow. The Fifth Offering's Martial Soul was the Light Feather Divine Bow. The Coiling Dragon Staff—that was the Martial Soul of the Sixth and Seventh Offerings.
With Qin Tian's identity on top of all that, how could he fail to work out who Tian Yao and the others were?
Qin Tian, the disciple of Grand Pontiff Qian Daoliu, and the Holy Son of Spirit Hall.
Salas swallowed involuntarily. Although he belonged to the Pope's faction, Qin Tian and the others had the Worship Hall behind them—a place only Peak Douluo could enter.
All the offerings of Spirit Hall took pride in entering the Worship Hall. Once they did, their status and standing were entirely different.
"Yes, Your Highness the Holy Son. I'll make all the arrangements."
Qin Tian gave a slight nod. He trusted Salas to handle such a small matter. If he couldn't even manage that, he had no business being a Platinum Bishop.
"Salas, you may leave."
At Qin Tian's words, Salas bowed respectfully to him.
"Your Highness the Holy Son, Elder Ling Yuan, I take my leave!"
After Salas left, Qin Tian's gaze swept across Tian Yao and the others, then he spoke in a low voice.
"Ling Yuan, ask our two protectors to reveal themselves."
Ling Yuan Douluo looked toward the empty space. When the people hiding there still didn't appear, her voice filled with helplessness.
"You two, didn't you hear the Holy Son?"
As soon as she finished speaking, two figures appeared in the air.
"Demon Bear and Ghost Leopard pay their respects to Your Highness the Holy Son!"
Qin Tian looked at them and gave a slight nod.
"Elder Demon Bear, Elder Ghost Leopard, thank you for protecting us from the shadows."
"Tian Yao, from now on, you'll train at the Great Soul Arena. You'll fight different Soul Masters in different cities, staying ten days in each place."
"As for the safety of the six of you, Elder Demon Bear and Elder Ghost Leopard will take care of it."
As he spoke, he looked at Demon Bear Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo.
"Would you two be willing?"
Demon Bear Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo exchanged glances, then nodded in agreement.
"Holy Son, Grand Pontiff gave us instructions before we left. We're to follow your lead in everything."
Qin Tian nodded. "Don't worry about my safety. With Sister Ling Yuan here, nothing will happen to me. Besides, don't forget that I'm no weakling."
Remembering Qin Tian's strength, Demon Bear Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo, and Tian Yao and the others no longer had any misgivings.
Ling Yuan's strength had already reached level ninety-five. She was a Super Douluo, and her Martial Soul had evolved as well. It was no longer the Blazing Spirit Kite, but the Fire Phoenix.
With her current strength, even against a level-ninety-six Peak Douluo, she could put up a fight.
"All right, go watch some matches at the Great Soul Arena and learn its rules."
"Remember this: even a lion must use its full strength against a rabbit. Don't hold back. Even if you accidentally kill someone, Spirit Hall will take care of all the trouble."
Tian Yao and the others listened to Qin Tian and nodded solemnly.
"Yes, Brother Tian."
"Go on. I'll come watch your matches tonight. I hope you don't disappoint me."
After watching Tian Yao and the others leave, Qin Tian turned to Ling Yuan Douluo.
"Sister Ling Yuan, sorry for the trouble. Please notify Elder Snake Lance and ask him to tell Sister Xue that I've arrived in Heaven Dou City."
Ling Yuan Douluo nodded and headed out of the room.
After she left, Qin Tian was alone in the room.
He went to the window and looked outside, contemplating what to do next.
There were still more than two months until school opened in Nuoding City. So far, nothing had strayed from its course. In a little over two months, he could go to Nuoding City and take away Xiao Wu, the transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Even if he didn't care for a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit, she could still serve as his Seventh Soul Ring.
The Seventh Soul Ring only provided one Soul Skill: the Martial Soul Avatar.
The higher the age of the Soul Ring, the greater the boost from the Martial Soul Avatar, the longer it lasted, and the less severe its side effects.
Just thinking about a Martial Soul Avatar from a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring was enough to thrill him.
But to take Xiao Wu away, he first had to deal with Tang Hao.
"Whew!"
"Fine. Killing Tang Hao early was already part of the plan. In that case, I may as well make sure he dies sooner."
"But killing Tang Hao won't be easy. The Clear Sky Hammer is hailed as the continent's greatest tool-type Martial Soul, and he has the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, the Great Sumeru Hammer, and Ring Detonation. If our plans aren't airtight and Tang Hao escapes, then..."
At that thought, Qin Tian's expression hardened.
"Hmph!"
"Tang Hao, let's see just how strong you really are. I refuse to believe you can escape when several offerings from the Worship Hall come after you."
Of course, he still had one concern: would the Asura God step in and fight for him? If the Asura God did, then the outcome would...
If the Asura God didn't intervene, Tang Hao was doomed.
Time slipped by. The sun sank in the west, and the silver moon rose.
With Salas leading the way, Qin Tian had arrived at the Great Soul Arena.
"Young Master Tian, everything's arranged. Young Master Tian Yao's match is up next."
Qin Tian nodded slightly and gestured for Salas to leave.
Not long after Salas left, someone pushed open the room door, and three figures stepped inside.
"Xiao Tian, what brings you to Heaven Dou City?"
"Your Highness the Holy Son!"
Qin Tian looked at them, a smile appearing on his face.
"Sister Xue, I've missed you so much!"
As he spoke, Qin Tian had already stepped in front of Qian Renxue and pulled her into his arms.
Ling Yuan Douluo, Pufferfish Douluo, and Snake Lance Douluo immediately looked up—not at the sky, but at the ceiling, as though something up there had caught their attention.
"Xiao Tian, I've missed you too."
Qian Renxue and Qin Tian held each other for a long while. When they finally separated, she noticed Ling Yuan Douluo and the others' antics and couldn't help feeling awkward. Her cheeks flushed slightly.
Qin Tian glanced at the three of them, then smiled.
"Elder Snake Lance, Elder Pufferfish, it's been years. Your strength has improved further. Congratulations."
Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo smiled at Qin Tian's words.
"Your Highness the Holy Son, it's your progress that impresses us most after all these years."
Qin Tian took out two jade boxes from the Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch. Wrapped in Soul Power, they floated over to the two elders.
"You've protected the Young Master, and Grand Pontiff hasn't forgotten your contributions. He asked me to bring you these two Immortal Herbs as a reward. Please accept them."
Hearing that they were Immortal Herbs, Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo exchanged a glance. The desire in each other's eyes was plain to see.
As elders of Spirit Hall and members of the Worship Hall faction, they had also guarded Qian Renxue. How could they not know the effects of Immortal Herbs?
"Holy Son, this..."
Qin Tian waved a hand casually, indicating that they should take them.
"Elder Snake Lance, Elder Pufferfish, these were bestowed on you by my grandfather. Just accept them."
"Once your strength improves, you'll be able to protect me even better."
Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo accepted the jade boxes, their faces full of delight.
Qin Tian and Qian Renxue exchanged a look, neither saying a word.
Seeing this, Ling Yuan Douluo immediately led the delighted Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo out.
