Qian Xunji's voice carried a deep, bewitching resonance:

"Ning Zhen is a clever sect master, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect possesses vast resources, but do they understand martial soul mutation?

They do not. In this world, only you, Yu Xiaogang, are currently delving deep into this field. This is your value."

"Yes, Xiaogang understands!"

Yu Xiaogang stood up abruptly, raising his hands to wipe the tears from his face in a flurry. His back, which had been slightly hunched due to inferiority, was now held perfectly straight.

He could already picture the glorious scene in his mind: standing within the Library Pavilion of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, using impeccable theories to convince everyone.

"I am very gratified that you have this realization, This Seat."

Qian Xunji turned around, standing with his back to Yu Xiaogang and his hands clasped behind him. The groundwork was laid; it was time to cast the lethal bait.

He feigned a casual, long sigh, his tone laced with a hint of pained regret:

"Sigh... Actually, the reason This Seat decided to personally escort you to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, beyond fulfilling your desire to pursue the path, is also because of a heavy heart. I wish to see if you can find a way out through theory."

"Your Excellency's heavy heart? Xiaogang is willing to sacrifice everything!" Yu Xiaogang was currently caught in an inflated state of gratitude, desperate to solve problems for Qian Xunji immediately.

"A year ago, Ning Zhen paid a sky-high price to take a peerless genius from me. She is a little girl who possesses the extremely rare Twin Spider Emperors martial soul."

Qian Xunji tilted his head slightly, observing Yu Xiaogang's expression from the corner of his eye.

Sure enough, upon hearing the words "Twin Martial Souls," the eyes of this master of theory lit up instantly.

"That girl's talent is unparalleled throughout history, but it is a pity... the cultivation of Twin Martial Souls is like walking on the edge of a cliff. Throughout the ages, how many brilliant geniuses with Twin Martial Souls have ended up exploding and dying, leaving not even a corpse behind?"

Qian Xunji's voice grew increasingly somber:

"That group of support-type users in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has mountains of gold and silver, yet they do not understand the core theory of Twin Martial Souls at all, let alone provide a solution for attribute conflict. Watching a rising, peerless star head toward destruction due to a lack of guidance from a master, my heart truly cannot bear it."

Yu Xiaogang was completely stunned. Twin Martial Souls? Lack of guidance? Exploding to death?

Qian Xunji turned around and said with profound meaning:

"Xiaogang, your research into martial soul mutation theory actually shares the same underlying logic as the development of Twin Martial Souls."

Guiding a peerless genius with Twin Martial Souls?!

Rescuing her from the cliff's edge of self-destruction using invincible theories?

Yu Xiaogang's heart began to beat wildly and uncontrollably, his breathing becoming heavy and ragged.

If he could truly accomplish what even the Pope of the Martial Soul Hall and the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could not—solving the problem of Twin Martial Souls that no one in the entire continent could resolve using theory—

Then he, Yu Xiaogang, would no longer be the waste who couldn't even break through level twenty. He would be the number one theorist in the history of the spirit master world, with no predecessor and no successor!

Moreover, she was a young, ignorant girl with a tragic background, desperately in need of a master to save her. If he could become her life mentor, a guiding light—

I, Yu Xiaogang, would have taught a peerless Douluo!

Yu Xiaogang's eyes became incredibly scorching and fanatical, even carrying a hint of an irrepressible savior complex.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, Xiaogang knows what to do!"

In his excitement, Yu Xiaogang flicked his hem and bowed deeply to Qian Xunji.

"Xiaogang will never betray your trust. I will study painstakingly within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Even if I must exhaust everything I have learned in my life, I swear to find a perfect path of cultivation for that girl with the Twin Martial Souls. I want the entire continent to know that theory, too, can create miracles!"

Qian Xunji was laughing so hard inside he could barely contain it.

Go, Master Yu...

The next morning, a luxurious carriage bearing the highest-grade sacred emblem of the Martial Soul Hall, led by a squadron of Hall Guard Knights, rumbled out of Martial Soul City, heading straight for Seven Treasure City in the Heaven Dou Empire.

Inside the carriage, Qian Xunji sat in his snow-white, gold-trimmed papal robes, eyes closed in meditation. Opposite him, Yu Xiaogang sat in a crisp, straight robe, his hands placed properly on his knees.

"Your Excellency the Pope, Xiaogang will certainly not disgrace your reputation on this trip." Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath and pledged his loyalty once more.

"Mm, go ahead and do it. This Seat has high hopes for you." Qian Xunji didn't even open his eyes, offering a perfunctory reply.

Half a day later, Seven Treasure City, In front of the magnificent sect gates of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The current Sect Master, Ning Zhen, along with the Sect Protecting Douluo Yuan Lie and a group of core elders, had long been waiting respectfully at the bottom of the steps.

The personal arrival of the Pope of the Martial Soul Hall was the highest-level diplomatic event on the continent; no matter how wealthy and powerful Ning Zhen was, he had to perform the formalities perfectly.

"Welcome, Your Excellency the Pope! Your arrival truly makes our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect shine with brilliance!"

Seeing Qian Xunji step out of the carriage, Ning Zhen immediately went to greet him, his smile brighter than a blooming chrysanthemum.

However, when his peripheral vision caught the young man following behind Qian Xunji—whose spirit power was so weak it was almost negligible—he couldn't help but pause in surprise.

"Sect Master Ning, it has been a year, and you are as elegant as ever."

Qian Xunji smiled warmly, then turned to the side and gestured toward Yu Xiaogang behind him:

"My intrusion today is actually at the request of Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. This is his son, Yu Xiaogang. Xiaogang has made significant achievements in martial soul theory.

Sect Master Yu was too embarrassed to ask himself, so he begged This Seat to allow him to borrow your sect's Library Pavilion to exchange some academic ideas."

Upon hearing this, Ning Zhen was stunned for a moment before laughing inwardly:

"Hahaha, that old scoundrel Yu Yuanzhen is usually arrogant beyond measure, constantly boasting about having the number one beast martial soul under the heavens. Now that he's hit a theoretical wall and can't bring himself to beg me, he actually ran to cling to the thighs of Martial Soul Hall?"

Ning Zhen felt a secret thrill; if word got out that a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had come to their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to study, the influence of their sect would undoubtedly climb to a new level.

"Since it is a personal recommendation from His Holiness the Pope, Ning naturally would not dare to refuse!"

Ning Zhen waved his hand with a grand, magnanimous air, though his shrewdness as a businessman remained sharp:

"It is rare for you, nephew Xiaogang, to have such an interest in theory. Very well, the Library Pavilion in our outer sect houses the most fundamental and comprehensive martial soul theories on the entire continent. From today on, it shall be fully open to you; you may read there for as long as you wish!"

Yu Xiaogang's brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this. The outer sect Library Pavilion? Fundamental theories? This old fox was clearly guarding against him, preventing him from touching the core secrets of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Yet, he did not flare up. Instead, he lifted his chin slightly, clasped his hands behind his back, and struck the pose of a master: "Many thanks, Sect Master Ning. The cornerstone of theory is often hidden within the most basic scrolls; Xiaogang shall be sure to study them thoroughly."

Watching Yu Xiaogang's performance, Qian Xunji barely managed to suppress a laugh.

"Oh, that's right, Sect Master Ning." Qian Xunji shifted the topic, feigning a casual tone as he asked, "A year ago, the genius with Twin Martial Souls that this Seat sold... ahem, entrusted to your esteemed sect—how is that child faring now?"
