I'm Leaving Spirit Hall

"Lin Xiao." Qian Daoliu looked at Lin Xiao kindly, gently stroking his beard with a loving smile on his face. He slowly said, "Now that you've emerged from seclusion, do you have any specific plans? What are you preparing to do next?"

Everyone's eyes gathered on Lin Xiao as they waited for his answer.

"Now that I've emerged from seclusion, I've already made my plans. I'm preparing to leave Spirit Hall. Continuing to remain in seclusion will no longer produce rapid results in improving my Soul Power, so I plan to go out, travel, and perhaps gain some insights. After thinking it over, I've decided to go to the Heaven Dou Empire," Lin Xiao said without hesitation.

If he continued cultivating in seclusion, he could undoubtedly raise his Soul Power Level quickly. However, at his current level, he was already strong enough to handle certain specific matters.

Otherwise, he would not have chosen to end his seclusion.

Of course, the most important reason was that the protagonist, Tang San, was now twelve years old. He had likely already set out for Shrek Academy, and the plot had officially begun.

Ever since he had transmigrated to Douluo Continent, been brought back to Spirit Hall by Qian Xunji, and met Qian Renxue, he had carefully calculated the timeline and planned everything meticulously.

Tang San before the age of twelve had merely left Holy Soul Village, gone to Notting Junior Soul Master Academy, become Yu Xiaogang's disciple, and met Xiao Wu. Lin Xiao believed he could ignore Tang San before the age of twelve.

But after Tang San turned twelve, he would join Shrek Academy, and every opportunity would arrive according to the predetermined timeline. The Man Faced Demon Spider External Soul Bone and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, for example, would successively fall into Tang San's hands. This time, Lin Xiao had emerged from seclusion to begin arranging matters that would change Spirit Hall's future fate!

Yet what he had never expected was that, on the very day he emerged from seclusion, the belated system completed its binding. To him, it was an enormous and utterly unexpected surprise.

After binding the Dao Guardian System, he chose to protect Qian Renxue. Naturally, that had been the only possible choice. Once Qian Renxue became a god, he would obtain the position of a Super God King and the inheritance of Diablo!

Moreover, when he accepted the task of protecting Qian Renxue, the Guardian Mission arrived as expected. The mission to seize the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well aligned perfectly with his plans. By accepting it, he would not only obtain the Hundred Solutions of Immortal Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the Black Dragon martial soul, but also advance it into the God-Level Martial Soul, the Dark Demon Dragon!

"The Heaven Dou Empire? Traveling there isn't a bad idea. Years of secluded cultivation benefit one's training, but they also have their drawbacks. Going to the Heaven Dou Empire this time is just right. Xiao Xue is carrying out a mission over there as well. You siblings haven't seen each other for many years," Qian Daoliu said calmly.

Lin Xiao had developed the idea of going out to travel after emerging from seclusion, and Qian Daoliu supported it.

Secluded cultivation could certainly allow someone to focus all their attention on training, but its disadvantages were also obvious. A dull and tedious training process was manageable in the short term, yet over time, it could easily lead to a bottleneck. Thus, it was indeed necessary to go out and travel.

Of course, Qian Daoliu did not know whether Lin Xiao had encountered a bottleneck. In his memories, this adopted grandson of his had never encountered one.

Furthermore, Qian Renxue was currently in the Heaven Dou Empire. Lin Xiao, already a level ninety-five Title Douluo, could provide her with assistance there and speed up the completion of her mission.

"That was indeed my intention. I'm preparing to head to the Heaven Dou Empire. If Xiao Xue encounters any difficulties, I can help her resolve them," Lin Xiao said with a gentle smile.

Naturally, he also missed Qian Renxue greatly. Now that he had emerged from seclusion and was heading to the Heaven Dou Empire, what expression would she have when she saw him?

Would she still be like before, nestling in his arms and sobbing softly?

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Kid Lin Xiao, what happened to your martial soul? Why did it grow another claw after only two years?" At that moment, Golden Crocodile Douluo noticed that the little Black Dragon above Lin Xiao's head had undergone enormous changes.

The Black Dragon's scales had originally been a deep black, but at some point, they had transformed into a solemn, profound dark hue.

At the same time, its body had changed somewhat compared to before, appearing even more refined and exquisite, as though every line had been carefully carved.

Not only that, an extra claw had appeared on the Black Dragon's limbs. It was strong and powerful, gleaming with a sharp, cold light.

Upon hearing this, the Black Dragon standing atop Lin Xiao's head immediately raised its head and puffed out its chest, looking imposing as it fully displayed its fifth claw and showed everyone its astonishing transformation.

Feeling the joy in the Black Dragon's heart, Lin Xiao smiled and explained, "It's a long story. An accident occurred while I was cultivating, but it didn't damage my foundation or cause me any harm. Instead, my martial soul evolved because of that accident. It was a blessing in disguise. The Black Dragon is much stronger now!"

The Black Dragon opened its mouth and let out a roar, but its body was still tiny. From afar, it looked like a loach opening its mouth, which was rather amusing.

"Hiss... Such a thing actually happened!" The consecrated elders drew in sharp breaths as they examined the Black Dragon standing atop Lin Xiao's head.

Qian Daoliu stroked his chin as he watched the Black Dragon. If the Black Dragon martial soul had once felt inferior to his Six-Winged Angel martial soul, then now it felt evenly matched with it!

This accident had brought Lin Xiao nothing but tremendous benefits, without the slightest drawback.

"Lin Xiao, when do you plan to leave Spirit Hall?" Qian Daoliu asked.

Lin Xiao barely gave it any thought before answering without hesitation, "I'm leaving now. There's something extremely important that I must do!"

"Kid Lin Xiao, do you need our help?" Falling Devil Douluo said with a broad, cheerful smile.

Since it was something important, they would help if Lin Xiao asked. They only feared that they would not know about it and that Lin Xiao would not say anything.

Lin Xiao merely smiled and shook his head. "There's nothing particularly troublesome about this matter. I won't need the help of you grandfathers."

"Lin Xiao, if you encounter any difficulties in the Heaven Dou Empire that you cannot resolve, tell us at once. We may be old, but we will always be your solid support," Qian Daoliu said kindly, his gentle gaze fixed on Lin Xiao.

"Don't worry, Grandfather. If we truly encounter difficulties we cannot resolve, I definitely won't hide them from you," Lin Xiao said with a smile.
