Oscar and Ma Hongjun joined Spirit Hall; Yu Xiaogang, a petty man riding high, lived off a woman
On the other hand, while Dai Mubai was enduring humiliation from the Star Luo Empire, Ma Hongjun and Oscar in Heaven Dou City were having a much easier time.
They not only have no worries about food and clothing, but no one looks down on them either.
Moreover, after wandering around Heaven Dou City for a while, they successfully found work.
That's right, they joined the Spirit Hall when the Heaven Dou Sacred Hall was recruiting.
There was nothing they could do. As commoners, after being expelled from the Blue Tyrant Academy, they could no longer find a high-level Soul Master Academy willing to accept them.
Only then did they realize how difficult it was to rise in the Heaven Dou Empire, where nobles held absolute power.
Fortunately, the Spirit Hall doesn't care whether you're a noble or a commoner; they treat everyone equally.
After they signed up and went through interviews and tests of their Soul Power Level, they were naturally accepted into the Spirit Hall.
After being given a nameplate and a set of standard uniform, he naturally became a junior Soul Master of the Spirit Hall, similar to Su Yuntao who awakened Tang San's Soul.
"Xiao Ao, Hongjun, I value you both highly. This is a job that others would love to do but can't. Do a good job, and I will definitely give you priority in getting into the Spirit Hall Academy."
The bishop in charge of Oscar and Ma Hongjun spoke earnestly, saying that it was fortunate Ma Hongjun was a fat man, otherwise Oscar definitely wouldn't have been able to eat such a big pie by himself.
Then Oscar and Ma Hongjun stayed in the Heaven Dou Sacred Hall of the Spirit Hall, on the side of their third brother's enemy.
The work is quite relaxed, but today is busy because I heard that a big shot from Spirit City is coming.
Therefore, Oscar and Ma Hongjun, as low-level employees, had to line up Heaven Dou City early in the morning to welcome them.
"Fatty, who did you say was coming? They've made us wait so early."
Oscar lowered his voice and asked.
"Who knows? Sigh, I just used the excuse of awakening my Martial Soul to pick up a girl, and she was even willing to help me out, but then some big shot showed up and ruined my plans."
Ma Hongjun also lowered his voice and complained.
Just then, a long procession suddenly appeared on the official road.
Upon seeing the procession appear, someone from the Heaven Dou Sacred Hall immediately shouted, "Everyone, stand at attention! Two rows, no whispering!"
Ma Hongjun and Oscar had no choice but to stop complaining.
They were placed in a relatively forward position, and several high-ranking Soul Master standing in front of them were whispering among themselves.
"What kind of important person could we all come out to greet?"
"I heard that this person was personally looked after by His Holiness the Pope and has a very close relationship with him."
He has a very close relationship with the current Pope? How close?
Ma Hongjun harbored malicious suspicions.
The procession drew closer, surrounding a gold and white carriage with the Spirit Hall's angelic imagery adorning the side walls.
Upon arriving before the people of the Heaven Dou Sacred Hall, the carriage immediately came to a stop. The driver jumped down first, then brought out a small stool and helped the distinguished person inside the carriage down.
The person who stepped out of the carriage was wearing a precious purple robe, embroidered with the Twelve Symbols of Imperial Authority in gold and silver thread, the patterns of which were dazzling in the sunlight.
Purple is the most precious dye, requiring tens of thousands of conch shells to dye a single purple robe. The twelve symbols further highlight the visitor's relationship with the Pope, suggesting it is likely extraordinary.
Of everyone present, apart from Oscar and Ma Hongjun, probably no one knew that this person had lost the ability to communicate deeply and simply with His Holiness the Pope.
He was more robust than before, and his complexion was rosier, but his eyes still looked weathered.
The eyes are the windows to the soul; though appearances may change, certain inner traces can never be completely covered up.
The newcomer was Yu Xiaogang Yu Xiaogang. His gaze swept over the two neat rows of people, and he couldn't help but feel smug.
Look, this is the empire I conquered.
As he surveyed the scene with smug satisfaction, Yu Xiaogang's gaze suddenly stopped.
He saw Ma Hongjun.
Ma Hongjun also saw him, and his small eyes widened immediately.
"Xiao Ao, am I seeing things? That's Grandmaster?"
"Holy crap, how did Grandmaster get into the upper echelons of the Spirit Hall? Wasn't he a useless guy who couldn't even break through to the Soul Elder?"
So shocked Oscar that he couldn't stop himself and blurted out his true feelings about Yu Xiaogang that he had kept hidden for so long.
Yu Xiaogang was completely unaware of Ma Hongjun and Oscar's opinions. With a look of surprise, he walked towards where Ma Hongjun and Oscar were, his boots stomping heavily on the stone bricks of the official road, making a series of rapid footsteps.
The surrounding Soul Master from the Heaven Dou Sacred Hall were all shocked. What had happened to make this lord disregard his image?
As they ran quickly, the wind blew up their robes, and they seemed to see that the adults' trousers were undone, looking rather sloppy.
Yu Xiaogang ran up to Ma Hongjun and Oscar, exclaiming with delight, "You're still here! That's great! Where's Mubai Xiao San? Where did they go?"
Ma Hongjun and Oscar exchanged a glance, unsure how to respond.
Yu Xiaogang's heart sank when he saw their reaction.
Ma Hongjun lowered his head and said sadly, "Dai Mubai abandoned us and went back to the Star Luo Empire. As for Xiao San... we don't know where he went."
Yu Xiaogang's joyful expression immediately faded, because his main reason for returning after recovering from his injuries was to bring his most outstanding experimental subject, Tang San, back to the Spirit Hall, along with Dai Mubai.
Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and other freakish geniuses are here to prove their abilities.
Then he will not regret wasting his time, nor will he be ashamed of his mediocrity. He will be able to announce to the entire continent: I am not a waste, I have nurtured four Titled Douluo!
The unexpected disappearance of Tang San was a devastating blow to Yu Xiaogang.
The Xiao San... where could he... go?
Yu Xiaogang couldn't understand it.
Fine, at least there are still two monstrous geniuses in front of us!
Yu Xiaogang comforted himself.
A person's life can be as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai; he must make himself as heavy as Mount Tai.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang firmly said to Ma Hongjun and Oscar, "Come with me, I'll take you to see someone."
Behind Yu Xiaogang, Salas and the bishop, the direct superior of Ma Hongjun and Oscar, were walking over, preparing to use the relationship between Ma Hongjun and Oscar to get closer to Yu Xiaogang.
Although they might not think highly of Yu Xiaogang, there was nothing they could do about it; Yu Xiaogang was so eloquent that even His Holiness the Pope was defeated by him.
For the sake of future promotions, they had no choice but to accept it.
"My lord..."
Salas was all smiles, but Yu Xiaogang ignored him completely and pulled Ma Hongjun and Oscar away.
The two brushed past each other, and Salas was completely bewildered.
No, even if you're a favorite of the His Holiness the Pope, you'd still have to show some respect to a powerful Platinum Bishop like me, wouldn't you?
However, Yu Xiaogang ignored him. Yu Xiaogang came to find his monster student, and now that he had found him, he naturally left, leaving the people of the Heaven Dou Sacred Hall to act like clowns.
