You don't plan to report us, do you? (Seeking follow-up reads)

Yu Changge nodded, but he did not refuse. "Suit yourself. But Sister Dong'er, I think you probably won't last long before you stop wanting to learn."

"And with talent as good as yours, honestly, as long as you learn some basic common theories about Douluo Continent, that should be more or less enough. If you spend the rest of your time cultivating, who knows? You might become the youngest Titled Douluo in the history of the continent."

That said, though, even just the basic theories were enough to give someone a headache.

Otherwise, Junior Soul Master Academy would not have set up six grades. In general, it taught students the foundational theories of martial souls for six years.

Of course, that was only for ordinary students.

Those with better talent could all graduate early, and their ability to study and absorb theory was naturally much faster than others'.

Take Yu Changge himself, for example. He felt that his memory was especially good. He had spent less than two years learning all the theories Elder Yu had taught him.

"I won't. I think the theories you explain are very interesting. Maybe... maybe I'll stick with it a little longer."

As she said this, even Bibi Dong felt a little guilty.

She knew perfectly well what kind of person she was.

There was no helping it. Studying theory really was boring.

Meanwhile, at Pope Palace.

Seeing that his son had gone to check out his lodgings first, Yu Tianqing cupped his hands toward Qian Xunji and made a request. "Your Holiness, I have a request. May I ask whether you can agree to it?"

Qian Xunji chuckled. "Let's hear it."

Hearing this, Yu Tianqing let out a breath of relief. It seemed Qian Xunji was still fairly easy to talk to.

"Well, my son will probably be staying here with you for the next few years, and I will deliver the cultivation resources he needs every so often."

"But as you know, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is quite some distance from Spirit City, and the space inside soul tools is limited. Even if we bring things over, we cannot bring much at one time."

"At most, we can bring some medicinal herbs and the like that are beneficial to his cultivation. And Spirit Hall is surely not lacking in such things."

"So..."

Qian Xunji waved his hand. "You want Spirit Hall to provide Yu Changge with the cultivation resources he needs?"

Yu Tianqing nodded. "Yes. Of course, I am not asking Spirit Hall to give them for free. I will pay gold soul coins of equal value."

Qian Xunji chuckled. "First tell me what kind of resources need to be prepared for Yu Changge."

Yu Tianqing said, "I hope you can prepare more Sub-Dragon meat for him. Any age is fine, preferably hundred-year or even thousand-year, and preferably of the light, fire, or lightning attributes. Others are fine too."

Yu Tianqing had deliberately mentioned those three attributes here because those were the three attributes Xiao Huang liked eating the most, especially the light attribute.

Of course, no matter what attribute it was, it did not actually affect the feedback Yu Changge received.

After all, with Xiao Huang's Golden Sacred Dragon bloodline, unless it was true dragon meat of equal or even superior quality to his own, eating it would be able to improve his bloodline.

Otherwise, other Sub-Dragon meat with lower bloodlines had no effect in improving his bloodline at all. It would only be mercilessly devoured and absorbed by Xiao Huang, and he would expel the excess impurities himself.

Qian Xunji's eyes narrowed slightly as he thought to himself, Could that boy's soul power be increasing so quickly because he devours Sub-Dragon meat?

But the moment this thought appeared, even Qian Xunji himself felt that it was absurd.

Qian Xunji tapped his fingers on the chair, making a knocking sound. "This request of yours... you should also be aware that on Douluo Continent, soul beasts of Sub-Dragon species are quite rare."

"And during this process, you still have to exclude the ones that cannot be eaten, which makes them even fewer. Even though Spirit Hall is vast and wealthy, the manpower and resources we would have to invest in this area would likely be no small amount."

Yu Tianqing sighed inwardly. Sure enough, was this request of his still too much to ask?

In truth, he knew it very well himself. Although Spirit Hall had many spirit masters, when it came to spirit masters with dragon-type martial souls, who could compare to their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?

Precisely because of this, Spirit Hall did not have specific needs for hunting Sub-Dragon soul beasts the way they did.

When hunting soul beasts, if they encountered one, that was naturally best. If they did not, they would choose some other soul beast as a substitute.

After all, among soul beasts, Sub-Dragon species were generally much stronger than ordinary soul beasts in the Soul Master world.

Naturally, hunting them carried much greater risk as well.

But at that moment, Qian Xunji said, "However, it is not impossible for me to agree to this request of yours."

Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao were both slightly startled, looking at Qian Xunji in surprise.

Qian Xunji chuckled. "No need to be so surprised. I am simply curious about this little fellow's martial soul."

"You clearly knew that this request was rather unreasonable, yet you still wanted to bring it up. Then may I understand it as Sub-Dragon meat being helpful to Yu Changge's cultivation?"

"Since I agreed to Yu Yuanzhen's request and allowed Yu Changge to come here for further study, I naturally investigated his situation thoroughly."

"After all, although your line is a direct line, in terms of bloodline, it can be said that you are not close to Yu Yuanzhen's line. You were already beyond the five degrees of kinship long ago."

"However, you husband and wife are both Soul Sages, so your status within the clan is not considered low. Even so, it still should not have been enough for Yu Yuanzhen to take out this Honorary Elder Token issued by Spirit Hall."

"If he had used it for that youngest son of his, Yu Xiaogang, I would not have been surprised."

"However, I have also heard that although Yu Changge and Yu Xiaogang both awakened the same Piglet Martial Soul, Yu Xiaogang currently has no interest in theory. Or rather..." Qian Xunji's tone carried a hint of mockery. "He does not dare face his own martial soul."

"But Yu Changge is different. He faced the flaws of his martial soul head-on, and even... his martial soul evolved?"

"And I imagine the reason Yu Yuanzhen agreed to your request and let Yu Changge come here for further study was that he wanted to use Yu Changge to learn more theory inside Spirit Hall, perhaps to find a way to 'defy fate and change destiny,' correct?"

"And the reason you proposed coming to Spirit Hall was because you wanted to conceal the fact that Yu Changge had already broken through to Soul Master, and you did not want him to become a stepping stone for Yu Xiaogang's advancement. Am I... correct?"

Yu Tianqing helplessly cupped his hands. "We knew we couldn't hide this matter from Your Holiness."

"However, since Your Holiness has said all this, and even arranged a core disciple's residence for Changge, that means you do not intend to expose us, correct?"
