Consecration Hall Report, The Effect of Whale Glue

Since Ban Shu had already obtained his spirit ring, the four of them set off on their return journey.

By late afternoon, they had arrived back at Spirit City.

"Xiao Ban, Dong'er, wait a moment. I have something for you both."

Qian Xunji called out to the two as they were about to leave, then produced two rings—one large and one small—and handed them over.

"Consider this a gift from your master. These are storage spirit tools. Each ring contains over a dozen cubic meters of space; I believe that should be sufficient for your needs."

Ban Shu and Bibi Dong took the rings and put them on, thanking him in unison: "Thank you, Master!"

In this era, the technology for crafting spirit tools had long been lost. Most existing ones were unearthed from ancient ruins and were exceptionally rare.

Storage spirit tools were the rarest of the rare, to say nothing of ones with such vast internal space.

Bibi Dong couldn't wait to put the ring on her finger, then showed it to Ban Shu: "Xiao Ban, does it look good?"

"It looks great. Anything looks good on you, Sister Dong'er."

As Ban Shu spoke, he slipped the ring onto his thumb. Well, he was still too small, and it wouldn't stay on his other fingers.

"Hehe."

Bibi Dong laughed happily.

"Alright, you two must be exhausted. Go on now, get some good rest today, and we shall continue your lessons tomorrow."

Seeing his two disciples so happy, Qian Xunji, as their master, wore a smile himself. He reached out to pat their heads and said softly.

"Yes, goodbye, Master."

The two nodded, held hands, and turned to leave.

As they departed, the Pope Palace fell back into its usual silence, yet at that moment, Qian Xunji suddenly felt that the place felt a bit empty.

It seemed that despite only spending a few short days together, he had already grown accustomed to having these two little ones around.

"Hoo~"

Exhaling gently, Qian Xunji composed himself and rose, preparing to report recent events to his father, the true pillar of Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu.

The Consecration Hall, located between the Pope Palace and the Douluo Hall, was the absolute core of Spirit Hall.

It was inhabited by Super Douluos with spirit power of level 95 or higher, led by none other than the level 99 Limit Douluo, the High Priest of the Angel God, Qian Daoliu.

Directly above the main hall stood a towering statue of the Angel God; this was the faith of Spirit Hall—the Angel God.

"Uncles."

Qian Xunji first greeted his elders, then walked behind Qian Daoliu and bowed his head respectfully: "Father."

Qian Daoliu did not rise, but spoke slowly: "Ji'er, you are not in the Pope Palace. What brings you here?"

"Father, I dare not hide the truth from you. The reason is that during these past few days, I have discovered another peerless genius at the orphanage—one who is on par with, or perhaps even surpasses, Bibi Dong."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu finally raised his head and stood up.

Although he was nearly a hundred years old, his appearance was that of a man in his forties or fifties.

Furthermore, due to the inherent genes of the Angel clan, he was handsome and possessed an extraordinary aura.

"Tell me about him."

Qian Xunji had naturally reported on Bibi Dong's situation—innate full spirit power and twin spirits; she was a genius among geniuses.

For Qian Xunji to come here again and offer such high praise, this child must truly be extraordinary.

Qian Xunji hurriedly explained the situation regarding Ban Shu: "This child is named Ban Shu, and his spirit is a long-handled weapon called the Painted Halberd."

"I personally participated in Ban Shu's spirit awakening. The momentum was immense; the light even pierced through the clouds, and even my own Angel spirit trembled faintly."

This statement caused the several Consecrators nearby to begin discussing among themselves.

"Could it be that the red light shooting into the sky I saw a few days ago was caused by that child's spirit awakening?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo stroked his beard, looking quite surprised.

"Indeed."

Qian Xunji nodded: "Not only that, but the child's potential has yet to be fully realized. The first spirit ring he absorbed was actually as high as seven hundred years!"

This caused a massive stir. A seven-hundred-year first spirit ring—even these Title Douluos, who stood at the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent, couldn't help but gasp in shock.

"Ji'er, don't joke with your uncles."

Green Phoenix Douluo clearly found it hard to believe: "The optimal absorption limit for a first spirit ring is around four hundred years. This is a recognized fact in Spirit Hall; it cannot be higher, or the body would collapse."

"Uncle Green Phoenix, I am not joking."

Qian Xunji knew this sounded preposterous, but it was the truth: "I saw it with my own eyes; there is no mistake."

"If that is the case, then this child named Ban Shu will have a limitless future."

Qian Daoliu said slowly. After all, even their own inherited spirit, the Six-Winged Angel, did not possess the ability to break the limits of spirit ring absorption.

"As for the Painted Halberd, I have never heard of anyone possessing such a spirit before."

A thoughtful look flashed across Qian Daoliu's eyes. He had never heard the name of this weapon before. Could it be that something capable of making his Seraphim spirit tremble was also a gift from the gods?

"Xunji, regardless of anything else, you must guide this child well. In the future, he will surely add another fierce warrior to Spirit Hall."

"I understand, Father."

Qian Xunji nodded, suddenly recalling what Ban Shu had mentioned earlier regarding Whale Glue.

"There is one more thing, Father. According to Xiao Ban, he once obtained an ancient scroll from an old man, from which he learned a method to increase the absorption limit of spirit rings."

"Increase the spirit ring absorption limit?"

Qian Daoliu was slightly astonished. Just how many mysteries were hidden within this Ban Shu?

"According to him, heating Whale Glue over a high-temperature flame and consuming it can strengthen a spirit master's physique and increase their spirit ring absorption limit."

"Whale Glue?"

The expressions of the Consecration Hall members present turned somewhat strange. They were no longer children; naturally, they knew what that substance was typically used for.

Everyone knew its common purpose, but no one had ever used it to strengthen the body or increase spirit ring limits.

Golden Crocodile, standing to the side, stroked his chin, lost in thought. "Could it be that he only managed to break through his spirit ring absorption limit because he consumed Whale Glue?"

"That is not the case."

Qian Xunji shook his head. "Xiao Ban has been in an orphanage since he was young. He could not have had the channels or the money to purchase such a thing. His ability to absorb rings beyond his level is due to his talent."

"In my opinion, it is possible that some reclusive expert recognized his talent and offered him a bit of guidance."

"Hmm, that also makes sense."

Lion Douluo, who had not spoken until now, nodded. "There are many spirit masters on the Douluo Continent. It is not impossible for one or two reclusive experts to exist."

"Regardless, this matter can be verified with a simple test."

Qian Daoliu pondered for a few seconds before speaking slowly. "Xunji, send someone immediately to verify the truth of this Whale Glue's efficacy. Do not fail."

"Understood! I accept the order."

Qian Xunji bowed in acknowledgment, then turned and left the Consecration Hall.
