Good Kid, You Dare Mess With Qian Daoliu, You've Got Guts!

Day and night alternated, summer heat faded into autumn.

In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.

Over these three years, besides his rapid growth in spirit power, Lin Tian had completed a series of side quests and obtained quite a few rewards.

At this moment, his spirit power had reached level 29, just one step away from breaking through to become a Spirit Master.

During this period, the Great Consecrator of the Consecration Hall, Qian Daoliu, had frequently come to seek out Lin Tian. His goal was naturally to recruit him into the Consecration Hall, and the benefits he promised grew more outrageous each time!

It started with him offering personal instruction, gradually shifted to allowing Lin Tian to inherit his position as the Great Consecrator of the Consecration Hall, and now, he was even using his granddaughter, Qian Renxue, as a bargaining chip.

As long as Lin Tian left Bibi Dong's Pope Palace and joined his Consecration Hall, he would personally act as a matchmaker and introduce his granddaughter to Lin Tian.

At the first light of dawn today, Lin Tian was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard of his sleeping quarters using the [Ganjiang Sword] rewarded by the system, when he suddenly felt a flash of golden light behind him. He then saw Qian Daoliu standing with his hands behind his back, looking at Lin Tian with a smile.

"Child, have you considered what I said before? Join the Consecration Hall, become my, Qian Daoliu's, personal disciple, and the future Great Consecrator of Spirit Hall—wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Qian Daoliu paced over to stand before Lin Tian. As he looked at the [Ganjiang Sword] gripped in the boy's hand, a flash of shock crossed his eyes.

As someone who used the Angelic Longsword as his primary means of killing, he naturally understood just how stunning the longsword before him was.

"Kid, where did you get that sword in your hand? Bibi Dong has never liked weapons; I doubt she has such a divine artifact in her possession!"

Qian Daoliu closed his eyes slightly, and a brilliant golden light enveloped Lin Tian.

"To have cultivated your spirit power to level 29 at such a young age, you are only a hair's breadth away from a breakthrough. It is a true pity for a genius like you to follow Bibi Dong. Join the Consecration Hall; I will teach you the most authentic methods of spirit master cultivation and take you to hunt the most ferocious spirit beasts!"

"Today, I will add one more condition: if you enter the Consecration Hall, the seven elders will pass on their lifelong unique skills to you. The Qian Family Sword Technique, the Golden Crocodile Palm Technique, the Coiling Dragon Staff Technique... every one of these skills is unique in this world! Tell me, kid, are you tempted?"

Qian Daoliu looked at Lin Tian with anticipation. As the divine servant left behind by the Angel God in Spirit Hall, he found it hard to believe that this boy was not even slightly moved when faced with such generous rewards!

However, it was precisely because of this that Qian Daoliu was racking his brains to recruit him into the Consecration Hall. His ultimate goal was singular: to have him become the guardian of Qian Renxue.

He knew his granddaughter's personality well; she was a romantic who was easily swayed by her emotions, so he wanted to find a talented and decisive genius to protect her.

After searching high and low, only Lin Tian was suitable.

Although the martial soul this kid awakened was the evil Twin Spider Emperor, under the calling of the Angel God, he would surely shed his evil aura and become a holy, righteous spirit master guardian.

Seeing the stakes raised higher and higher by the Great Consecrator Qian Daoliu, Lin Tian could not help but feel a bit tempted.

"How about this: if you join the Consecration Hall, I will betroth my granddaughter to you! Rest assured, my granddaughter is a beauty with fair skin, a beautiful face, and long legs—she is no worse than your Pope mother!"

Qian Daoliu's expression was somewhat agitated. He truly could not imagine what kind of dark magic that woman Bibi Dong had cast on this child to make him so willing to stay in the Pope Palace!

Did he not know that the true core combat power of Spirit Hall resided entirely within the Consecration Hall?

Only by joining the Consecration Hall could this little guy's strength truly soar!

"Great Consecrator, coming here at the crack of dawn to poach my people—isn't that a bit beneath you? As a believer of the Angel God, don't you always pride yourself on being holy and righteous? It seems you are nothing more than this!"

Outside the sleeping quarters, Bibi Dong stood holding the Pope Scepter, looking at Qian Daoliu with disdain, her rose-colored eyes filled with a fierce light.

As the child she had raised since he was small, she truly loathed this poaching behavior of Qian Daoliu.

"Pope, there is no need to be nervous. I come to see this child only to give him a better choice! After all, by joining the Consecration Hall, he can gain seven teachers, whereas staying in the Pope Palace, he only has you. For a genius like Lin Tian, isn't that a bit cruel?"

"Once this kid joins the Consecration Hall, all of us Consecrators will do our utmost to cultivate him, striving to make him a Titled Douluo in the shortest time possible!"

"The reason Spirit Hall can be a force on the Douluo Continent that cannot be underestimated is precisely because our fists are hard, our methods are ruthless, and we have plenty of weapons in the hall! Being able to cultivate a Titled Douluo in the fastest time possible is highly beneficial to our entire Spirit Hall."

"Pope, do you think I am right?"

Qian Daoliu stood with his hands behind his back, his brilliant golden eyes fixed on Bibi Dong.

He felt a sense of indebtedness toward this woman in his heart.

If his son hadn't forced himself upon her back then, making her his wife by coercion, her life would surely have been much happier.

It was precisely because of this that he had allowed Bibi Dong to act as she pleased time and time again; as long as she did not harm his granddaughter, everything remained under control.

Bibi Dong felt nothing but disdain upon hearing this. She had already rejected this old man so many times, yet he kept coming back to pester her; it was truly infuriating.

"Great Consecrator, you should return. As my personal disciple, I will cultivate Lin Tian well! As for the things you mentioned, our Pope Palace can certainly achieve them!"

"The Consecrators of the Consecration Hall do indeed have novel methods and are skilled hands! But are we in the Pope Palace really that weak?"

As Bibi Dong spoke, her spirit power began to overflow, and a large tree in the courtyard outside the hall snapped into several pieces at that very moment.

"Great Consecrator, I am willing to enter the Consecration Hall to learn spirit cultivation. But I have one condition: I will only go there to cultivate, not to join your Consecration Hall. Every day when cultivation ends, I must return to the Pope Palace to rest."

Lin Tian's words not only left Qian Daoliu stunned on the spot, but also left Bibi Dong completely bewildered.

What on earth was this kid playing at?!

Could it be that this boy had really chosen to betray her for the sake of the Great Consecrator position?!

"Lin Tian, do you know what you are saying? I..."

Before Bibi Dong could finish her sentence, Lin Tian waved his hand to interrupt her.

"Your Majesty the Pope, I am doing this entirely for the sake of Spirit Hall. As the Holy Son of Spirit Hall, I must raise my spirit power in the shortest time possible. After all, the things I need to protect are not just Spirit Hall alone."

At this point, Lin Tian glanced at Bibi Dong, and the look in his eyes made Bibi Dong instantly understand something.

Good lad, daring to play Qian Daoliu for a fool—he's a real man, he's got guts!
