Because the middle-aged chairman had sealed off the news, almost no one in the Spirit Pagoda knew about Mu Tianchen's situation apart from the few people involved.
Moreover, Mu Tianchen had been taken away by the middle-aged chairman immediately after completing his Martial Soul awakening.
Even the staff member who had been responsible for the testing crystal ball had noticed nothing unusual. He merely wondered why the chairman had taken out a crystal ball used to test for twenty levels of Innate Soul Power.
Could it be? Could someone really awaken with more than ten levels of Innate Soul Power?
If that was true, all he could say was that it was absurd. The reason ten levels of Soul Power were called Innate Full Soul Power was because reaching ten levels of Innate Soul Power was already the limit of the human body.
"Ahem, well, little brother, what do you think of our Spirit Pagoda?"
At that moment, in the chairman's office, the middle-aged chairman smiled at Mu Tianchen.
The middle-aged chairman's real name was Luo Xuan. He was the head of a small family within the Spirit Pagoda. As chairman of the Spirit Pagoda's Aolai City branch, he was level eighty-five and the strongest person in Aolai City.
His family was not based in Aolai City, but in the neighboring Eastsea City. However, because he served as chairman of the Spirit Pagoda's Aolai City branch, some members of his family had come here.
Just moments ago, the boy before him had completed his Martial Soul awakening, awakening an incredibly powerful dragon-type Martial Soul—the Holy Dragon of Light! He had also successfully awakened Innate Full Soul Power!
Without a doubt, this boy was one of the most outstanding geniuses in the world.
Even the legendary Shrek Academy would welcome a child with such talent.
However, everyone had selfish motives. He did not particularly want Mu Tianchen to attend Shrek Academy, but to join the Spirit Pagoda instead.
Compared with Shrek Academy, the Spirit Pagoda's foundation truly was not as deep. Yet after all these years of development, the Spirit Pagoda had grown increasingly powerful.
That was why he dared to speak to Mu Tianchen like this.
"Hmm... well."
Mu Tianchen pondered for a moment. By then, he had vaguely guessed the middle-aged chairman's intentions. The man probably wanted to recruit him into the Spirit Pagoda and make him one of its members.
There was no need to think about it. If he joined the Spirit Pagoda and became one of its members, this chairman would definitely receive a generous reward.
He looked at the expectant middle-aged chairman before him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "The Spirit Pagoda spans Douluo, Star Luo, and Douling, three continents. It is undeniably one of the Douluo Federation's top powers."
"So if you ask me what I think of the Spirit Pagoda, then all I can say is that, to me, the Spirit Pagoda is naturally excellent."
Upon hearing that, the middle-aged chairman immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
For the boy to say that naturally meant that he had a favorable impression of the Spirit Pagoda, laying the groundwork for what he wanted to say next.
In the present-day Federation, the Spirit Pagoda was powerful, but the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy were no ordinary forces either. Their status and influence even vaguely surpassed that of the Spirit Pagoda.
If the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy competed with the Spirit Pagoda for talent, the Spirit Pagoda might not necessarily be able to win.
At that moment, he looked at Mu Tianchen and revealed what he believed to be a kind smile. "Haha, little brother, I can tell from what you just said that you know something about our Spirit Pagoda."
"However, there may be some details you do not know very clearly, so next, I will give you a thorough introduction to our Spirit Pagoda."
"Our Spirit Pagoda was founded ten thousand years ago by Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, one of the Shrek Seven Devils of that generation."
Just as the middle-aged chairman was rattling off the Spirit Pagoda's history.
Suddenly, with a bang, a fiery-red figure burst into the office.
The fiery-red figure was a young woman around thirty years old. She had long black hair draped over her shoulders, and flawless contours that outlined the most beautiful face in the world.
Yet what made people most curious was that the most shocking thing about her was not her stunningly beautiful face, but the powerful aura erupting from her body.
Before her aura, even the middle-aged chairman, who had previously shown great strength by blocking Mu Tianchen's dragon phantom alone, was like a small boat on the verge of capsizing.
"You're Mu Tianchen? The little fellow who just awakened the Holy Dragon of Light Martial Soul?"
After entering the office, the fiery-red figure did not even glance at the middle-aged chairman. Instead, she strode straight toward Mu Tianchen.
When she stopped before Mu Tianchen, her eyes fixed directly on him. Her peerlessly beautiful face and powerful aura both placed enormous pressure on him.
"I'm Mu Tianchen."
"You are...?"
Seeing the beautiful figure standing so close to him, Mu Tianchen was startled. He had just been listening to the middle-aged chairman introduce the Spirit Pagoda's power.
Yet he had never expected such a beautiful red-clad figure to suddenly rush in.
Yes, although the red-clad figure was an exceptionally beautiful woman, her sudden entrance had still frightened Mu Tianchen.
"As long as you're the one who awakened the Holy Dragon of Light Martial Soul. Come with me now!"
However, the fiery-red figure did not care whether Mu Tianchen had been startled. She gave him an exquisite smile.
Then, as if lifting a chick, she picked Mu Tianchen up from his chair and strode straight out of the office. From beginning to end, she did not spare the middle-aged chairman a single glance.
"I never expected a Holy Dragon of Light Martial Soul to alarm even her."
Watching the fiery-red figure, the middle-aged chairman felt somewhat shocked.
As the chairman of the Spirit Pagoda's Aolai City branch, he naturally knew who the red figure that had suddenly barged in was.
The vice tower master of the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters,
At that moment, above Aolai City.
The fiery-red figure streaked rapidly through the sky.
In her hand, she held a boy who appeared to be only six years old.
The fierce airflow battered the boy, preventing him from opening his eyes, while the wind slapped painfully against his face.
"Senior, Senior!!"
"Could you put me down first?"
At that moment, Mu Tianchen felt somewhat afraid.
He had never expected that, when everything had been perfectly fine, someone would burst into the office, say nothing, and directly carry him into the sky to fly through the air.
Although, after transmigrating into this world, he had also wanted to fly through the skies and experience the feeling of soaring.
But not in such a dangerous way! What if he accidentally fell?
Hearing Mu Tianchen's words, the fiery-red figure stopped. Then she hovered directly in midair, as though she were walking on empty space.
Looking carefully, Mu Tianchen saw that the fiery-red figure was entirely shrouded in a red robe, with blazing flames burning around her. A powerful field isolated the surrounding air.
Furthermore, every time she took a step through the air, a red lotus bloomed beneath her feet, leaving him utterly stunned.
Seeing this incomparably powerful sight, Mu Tianchen could not help swallowing.
On the Douluo Continent, those capable of walking through the air without relying on wings were all experts who had reached the realm of Title Douluo, or even Super Douluo.
Could the person before him be an expert at the Super Douluo level?
"Who exactly is this woman in red?"
"Is she Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu? Or one of those people from the Holy Spirit Cult, or perhaps one of the War God Temple's vice hall masters?"
Mu Tianchen frowned as he watched the red figure.
In truth, there were not many powerful female experts in Legend of the Dragon King, especially not above the Title Douluo realm. Judging from this red-clad woman's appearance and aura, Mu Tianchen vaguely felt that she seemed somewhat familiar.
However, just as Mu Tianchen was guessing which Title Douluo expert the woman in red might be, the beautiful red figure smiled at him.
With great interest, she said, "You're the little fellow from the Aolai City Spirit Pagoda who just awakened the Holy Dragon of Light Martial Soul? Your name is Mu Tianchen? You're from Aolai City's eastern district?"
Mu Tianchen came back to his senses, paused, then coughed. "Well... I'm not too sure about that either. It should be a pretty good Martial Soul, I suppose."
"Anyway, they all said I awakened a powerful Martial Soul. Oh, and they also said I have Innate Full Soul Power."
The woman in red nodded. "The Holy Dragon of Light is indeed an extremely powerful Martial Soul. Now, you are coming with me somewhere."
"Huh?"
"Senior, where are we going?"
Mu Tianchen first froze, then quickly reacted and asked in alarm.
However, the woman in red did not answer him.
She continued walking through the void, covering a thousand miles in an instant as she vanished from the sky with Mu Tianchen.
When they appeared again, Mu Tianchen was shocked to discover that he had arrived at the shore of the East Sea. Looking at the incomparably familiar waters before him, he was too stunned to speak.
The sea breeze brushed against Mu Tianchen's face, and the sea's distinctive salty scent filled his nose.
For a child who had grown up by the sea, it was an especially familiar and comforting sensation.
The woman in red looked at Mu Tianchen as her powerful aura swept over him like a tidal wave. With her arms folded before her, she calmly said, "Mu Tianchen, your talent is good. Staying in a small place like Aolai City will only bury that talent. Come with me and take me as your master."
"I am the current vice tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, a level ninety-eight Power Attack System Super Douluo. My title is Heavenly Phoenix!"
"Ah! You're Heavenly Phoenix Douluo?"
Mu Tianchen was somewhat surprised. He had just been guessing whether this woman in red was Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu, but the very next moment, she admitted her identity.
It seemed his guess had been quite accurate. She was indeed Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, Leng Yaozhu. But wasn't Heavenly Phoenix Douluo a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo? Why was she only level ninety-eight now?
Could it be that Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu had not yet officially advanced to level ninety-nine, the Limit Douluo realm, at this point?
In truth, Mu Tianchen was not unfamiliar with this Heavenly Phoenix Douluo.
This Heavenly Phoenix Douluo came from the Spirit Pagoda and was the current head of one of the Spirit Pagoda's major ruling families. Though she appeared to be only in her thirties, her actual age was over a hundred.
Heavenly Phoenix Douluo had a younger sister named Leng Yulai, who was likewise an immensely powerful Title Douluo. The two sisters were collectively known as the Twin Phoenix Douluo.
Mu Tianchen forced himself to calm down.
Leng Yaozhu was from the Spirit Pagoda, so naturally she represented the Spirit Pagoda's interests. Since she wanted to take him as her disciple, that meant she wanted him to join the Spirit Pagoda.
Was joining the Spirit Pagoda good?
Of course it was!
Setting aside the current tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, Qiangu Douluo Qiangu Dongfeng, the Spirit Pagoda was naturally excellent.
Joining the Spirit Pagoda meant being able to freely choose Soul Spirits. As long as they were powerful Soul Spirits, internal members of the Spirit Pagoda had priority in purchasing them.
Furthermore, one could enter the Spirit Ascension Pagoda for free and carry out Soul Spirit Ascension.
In this era, a Soul Master's Soul Rings were not fixed forever. Through the Spirit Ascension Pagoda, everyone could increase the age of their Soul Rings.
Kirin Douluo Tong Yu and Qiangu Dieting, the former head of the Qiangu Family, had both used the Spirit Ascension Pagoda to raise their Soul Rings to the terrifying level of nine Red-Grade rings.
He was not the protagonist, not someone favored by the plane, and he did not have parents at the level of gods. All he could rely on was himself.
With his own strength alone, it would naturally be difficult for him to raise his Soul Rings to the level of nine Red-Grade rings. But with the aid of the Spirit Pagoda, it did not seem quite so difficult.
Still, whenever he thought of Qiangu Dongfeng, Mu Tianchen's head began to ache. That old man was no good person.
Mu Tianchen then sighed.
