Gui Mei and Yue Guan Overseas

After absorbing this spirit bone, Murong Huai's spirit power increased by two levels. Spirit bones do not provide as significant a boost to spirit power as spirit rings do; nearly ninety percent of the energy from this spirit bone transformed into spirit skills and the enhancement of Murong Huai's mental power, resulting in only a modest increase in his spirit power.

Moreover, Murong Huai was only six years and two months old, yet he already possessed twenty-seven levels of spirit power, surpassing everyone in the history of the Douluo Continent.

Pope Palace.

"Oh? Huai'er didn't choose high-level Spirit Douluos, but instead chose Gui Mei and Yue Guan, who have only recently entered the Spirit Douluo realm?" Qian Daoliu listened to Xiongshi's report, feeling somewhat puzzled.

According to the logic of ordinary people, one would naturally choose high-level Spirit Douluos for greater value. Yet, Murong Huai chose Gui Mei and Yue Guan, whose spirit power was relatively lower, which left the others feeling confused.

They could never have guessed that Murong Huai knew these two would become Super Douluo powerhouses in the future. While there were many other high-level Spirit Douluos, almost none of them would appear among the future Titled Douluos. Most were either stuck at the peak of the Spirit Douluo realm, unable to break through for a long time, or would perish in the future.

"Your Holiness, I have looked into these two. Their strength is quite good, and they are capable of performing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill," Xiongshi stated the information he had gathered.

"Oh? A Martial Soul Fusion Skill? Heh, it seems this little fellow has quite a sharp eye." Hearing this, Qian Daoliu nodded in satisfaction.

Xiongshi and Guangling also nodded in agreement. A Martial Soul Fusion Skill between two Spirit Douluos, even if it couldn't defeat a Titled Douluo, could at least hold its own for a while; its value far exceeded that of a high-level Spirit Douluo.

"Good, then send Gui Mei and Yue Guan to the Murong Mansion."

"Yes, Your Holiness."

In the afternoon, two figures appeared at the Murong Mansion. One had skin as fair as an infant's, an enchanting appearance, and a voice and look that leaned feminine, yet he had an Adam's apple and wore golden-yellow attire. The other had fair skin and a face as handsome as jade, but with black markings on his face that looked eerie and frightening, and he wore black clothing.

These two were Gui Mei and Yue Guan. Yue Guan looked at the Murong Mansion, pinched his orchid fingers, and spoke in a frivolous tone:

"Tsk tsk tsk, Old Ghost, this Murong Mansion is truly grand. I never expected us to be sent to guard Marshal Murong's only son. Hehehe..."

Hearing Yue Guan's high-pitched, affected voice, Gui Mei's expression remained unchanged, as if he were used to it. He spoke in a slightly hoarse voice:

"It is said that Marshal Murong's son has already been named the Holy Son by the Grand Elder, and has also been taken as a disciple by the Pope. Furthermore, he chose us himself. Chrysanthemum Guan, watch your tongue; don't disgust the Holy Son..."

"Hmph, go to hell, Old Ghost. Who are you calling disgusting? You'd better make sure you don't scare the Holy Son yourself..." Yue Guan snorted in dissatisfaction and flicked his hair.

Creak—

The gates of the Murong Mansion opened. Tu Zhen and Ju Qinglan pushed the doors, and Murong Huai walked out slowly behind them. Upon seeing the two at the entrance, Murong Huai paused, but immediately recognized their identities from their attire.

However, Gui Mei and Yue Guan had never seen Murong Huai and did not recognize him.

Tu Zhen, who was also affiliated with the Pope Palace, saw Gui Mei and Yue Guan and said:

"Gui Mei, Yue Guan, you two arrived quite quickly." He then turned and gestured toward Murong Huai.

"This is the current Holy Son of our Martial Soul Hall."

Hearing Tu Zhen's words, Gui Mei and Yue Guan hurriedly bowed. "Subordinates Gui Mei and Yue Guan pay respects to the Holy Son."

"No need for such formalities," Murong Huai waved his hand.

"Since you two have arrived, we are just about to set off for Star Dome Valley. Let's go together."

"Yes, Holy Son."

As Murong Huai finished speaking, two carriages slowly drove up. Tu Zhen, Gui Mei, and Yue Guan boarded the second carriage, while Murong Huai and Ju Qinglan sat in the first.

As if! Why would he sit with two and a half old men when he could have the company of the girl-next-door, Ju Qinglan?

After they boarded, the coachman drove the carriages toward Star Dome Valley outside the city.

Moving forward, Murong Huai still intended to go to Star Dome Valley to cultivate. After all, cultivating an Ultimate Martial Soul was extremely difficult, and he still had to practice his swordsmanship. He wasn't confident he could raise his spirit power by another three levels to reach the Soul Elder level by the age of seven.

Sigh, the path of cultivation is long and arduous...

Everyone else: Are you kidding me?! Is that even human talk?!

----Overseas.

Overseas, a massive island like a bright pearl floated above the surging waves. This mysterious island was composed of seven main peaks, with a towering sacred mountain standing in the center. It reached a thousand meters in height, its summit wreathed in clouds and mist, with divine light seemingly flickering within.

The island was surrounded by azure seawater, the sound of waves crashing against the shore like celestial music. The air was filled with a salty, fresh scent, yet it remained crisp and pleasant due to the purification of divine power.

Seven cities stood around the island, each containing a massive holy pillar that appeared incredibly miraculous. In the very center was a ring-shaped sea, where the silhouettes of sharks would leap out from time to time.

At its heart was an island within an island, upon which stood a sacred mountain. Atop the mountain was a palace filled with an endless, holy aura that inspired awe.

Inside the palace was an aquamarine sculpture of a figure wearing robes and holding a trident, majestic and sacred.

In front of the statue, a handsome man in crystal-blue robes sat cross-legged in meditation, a faint, ethereal aura radiating from his body.

After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air, a bright light flashing in his eyes.

"Hoo~, still a bit short. The gap between level ninety-eight and level ninety-nine is just too vast."

At this moment, a woman in a red and blue long dress walked in. Seeing this, the man smiled and said:

"Xiao Xi, why aren't you cultivating? Why have you come to your teacher?"

The woman did not answer his question directly, but instead said: "Teacher, I have just been feeling uneasy lately. I keep sensing that something major is about to happen."

"Sigh, Xiao Xi, your talent is greater than your teacher's, and you have even received the Sea God's Eight Trials bestowed by Lord Sea God. As long as you cultivate steadily, you will definitely reach the ultimate level. Why would you feel uneasy?" The man smiled and shook his head.

This man was none other than the current High Priest of Sea God Island, the level 98 peak Douluo Haimala, and this woman was the successor to the High Priest position, the current level 97 peak Douluo Bo Saixi.

Bo Saixi shook her head.

"Sigh, enough about me. How is your breakthrough coming along, Teacher?"

Haimala looked somewhat helpless. "Sigh, the gap between level 98 and level 99 is simply too vast. However, bathed in the Sea God's Light, I am only a single step away from that realm. I expect to break through within a year at the earliest."

"Teacher, if you do break through, are you really going to the mainland again?" Bo Saixi asked the question that worried her most.

Hearing this, a flash of ruthlessness crossed Haimala's eyes. He stood up and walked to the window, gazing toward the direction of the mainland.

"In the beginning, the Sea God and the Angel God were evenly matched, so why is it that my Sea God lineage can only reside in this remote Sea God Island, guarding a mere portion of the sea?

"Yet, his Angel lineage is able to dwell on the mainland, shaking the world under the name of Martial Soul Hall. The world knows only the name of the Angel of Martial Soul Hall, yet almost no one knows the might of the Sea God of my Sea God Island."

Hearing Haimala's words, Bo Saixi sighed, shook her head, and turned to walk out of the hall.

"Teacher, you know these words are just a cover for the truth. I know I cannot stop you; I only hope you can move on..."

As she spoke, Bo Saixi's figure had already vanished from the Sea God Hall. Hearing her words, a ripple of emotion crossed Haimala's eyes. He looked at the scenery outside the window, unable to collect his thoughts for a long time. Closing his eyes, he murmured:

"A-Cheng, if only we hadn't..."
