Slapping Hu Liena into Tears! Six New Dark Night Mark Bearers

Qian Xunye had a thought and prepared to make a trip to Spirit Hall Academy. "Xiaoxue, keep cultivating. Your uncle is going out for a while."

After saying that, Qian Xunye headed straight for Spirit Hall Academy.

As the strongest Soul Master force in all of Douluo Continent, the Soul Master Academy founded by Spirit Hall was packed with geniuses.

There were quite a few geniuses from the same generation who had reached Innate Soul Power Level 8.

Aside from the Golden Generation—Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan—the other four main members who represented Spirit Hall in the original Soul Master Tournament, Xu Yu, Zhang Ping, Sun Chuantao, and Li Kai, were also quite outstanding.

During the Soul Master Tournament, the lowest Soul Power Level among those four was Level 45, while several of them had reached Levels 47 and 48.

If these geniuses were nurtured with immortal herb resources, they would surely become Title Douluo in the future.

A short while later, Qian Xunye arrived at Spirit Hall Academy.

He found the academy's person in charge. "You! Within ten minutes, bring me the seven students Xie Yue, Yan, Hu Liena, Zhang Ping, Xu Yu, Sun Chuantao, and Li Kai."

The person in charge broke out in cold sweat. "Yes! Young Master Xunye, I... I'll go get them right away."

After a while.

Seven children walked in with bewildered expressions.

Qian Xunye leaned back on the sofa with one leg crossed over the other. "You may leave. Close the door. The seven of you, line up."

They did not know who Qian Xunye was, but seeing the academy's person in charge act so subserviently toward him, the seven did not dare neglect his order and hurriedly stood side by side.

Qian Xunye briefly sized them up.

Hu Liena had only recently awakened her martial soul at the age of six and was currently Level 11.

Xie Yue and Yan were eight years old and had Soul Power Level 17.

The other four were around ten years old, with Soul Power ranging from the peak of Level 19 to just above Level 20.

"Let me introduce myself. I am the Dark Douluo, Qian Xunye." After a brief introduction, Qian Xunye went straight to the point. "I called you seven here to tell you that from now on, I can invest resources into cultivating you and take you in as nominal disciples."

"If you are willing, step forward and stand before me now."

Upon hearing this, all seven changed expression.

Hu Liena in particular was suddenly filled with anger. She clenched her fists. "Qian Xunye, he's Qian Xunye! The bastard who killed my teacher! He's the reason my status in Spirit Hall plummeted!!"

Hu Liena had only recently been accepted by Bibi Dong as her personal disciple, yet Bibi Dong had then been defeated and lost everything.

Although there was not much of a master-disciple bond between them yet.

She was still the personal disciple of the Pope. What an impressive identity and status that was! The resources she enjoyed were also the very best. Even Title Douluo elders had to show her some respect.

But she had suddenly lost all those privileges. Naturally, Hu Liena was resentful and bitter toward Qian Xunye.

She kept a cold face and said nothing.

The others exchanged uncertain looks as well.

Although a nominal disciple was not a true disciple, becoming the nominal disciple of a Title Douluo powerhouse was still quite a good opportunity.

But this had come too suddenly, and they were completely unprepared.

Seeing this, Qian Xunye continued, "Those who are willing will gain a special power. This power will allow you to challenge opponents above your level and cultivate faster. At the same time, my nominal disciples will all become Title Douluo in the future!"

"What! Is that true?"

Xie Yue, Yan, and the others were tempted.

Even geniuses with Innate Soul Power Level 9 like Xie Yue and Yan might not necessarily achieve the rank of Title Douluo.

If Qian Xunye could truly do what he claimed, how could anyone not be tempted?

"Now, I'll give you ten seconds to make your choice."

"We're willing! We're willing to join Lord Xunye's ranks!"

Yan, Xie Yue, Zhang Ping, Sun Chuantao, Xu Yu, and Li Kai all dropped to one knee at the same time, making their decision within three seconds.

Only Hu Liena remained standing, her face full of pride.

Seeing this, Xie Yue hurriedly tugged at Hu Liena. "Nana, a great figure like Lord Xunye surely wouldn't lie to us. If he dares to be so confident, he must have the ability. This is such a great opportunity—agree quickly!"

But Hu Liena ignored his advice and said unwillingly, "Don't pull me! I don't want to!"

"Oh? You're that unwilling?" Qian Xunye's gaze fell on six-year-old Hu Liena.

"That's right! You killed my teacher. I hate you! Besides, I'm a genius with Innate Soul Power Level 9.5. Even without you, I can become a powerful Title Douluo in the future! I won't be your nominal disciple! You bastard!" Hu Liena could not help but curse.

"Is that so?"

"You dare curse at me? You've got quite the nerve!"

Qian Xunye did not indulge her at all. He strode over and slapped Hu Liena across the face.

Slap!

"Ahhh~!" Hu Liena screamed miserably as she was slapped to the ground on the spot.

Hu Liena was immediately slapped into tears, trembling as she lay on the ground. "Wuwuwu! Y-you hit me..."

"Heh, so what if I hit you? A mere one-ring Soul Master dares insult a Title Douluo? Little girl, do you think you're still the Pope's personal disciple?"

Qian Xunye coldly reached out and grabbed Hu Liena by the throat. "It seems you and Bibi Dong shared a deep master-disciple bond! Then when you grow up, won't you seek revenge on me?"

"If that's the case, it seems I'll have to kill you!"

"K-kill me?" Hu Liena was terrified.

A look of fear instantly appeared on Hu Liena's face. A sour, foul-smelling liquid seeped out from beneath her skirt. She had wet herself in fright. "No, no! That's not it! No! I wasn't close to Bibi Dong, don't kill me! I was wrong, Lord Xunye! Please don't kill me! I'm willing to be your nominal disciple!"

"Nana is still young and ignorant. She offended Lord Xunye. Please spare her life, my lord!" Xie Yue hurriedly stepped forward to plead for Hu Liena.

"Heh."

Qian Xunye released Hu Liena. "For your brother Xie Yue's sake, I won't kill you today. Get lost. You're not worthy of being my nominal disciple either."

"Thank you for sparing my life, my lord." Hu Liena was terrified and scrambled out in a panic.

Little did she know that what Hu Liena had missed today was not merely the chance to become a Title Douluo in the future.

She had also missed the chance to break through Level 100 and become a transcendent powerhouse on par with gods.

"Now, the six of you, come over."

"Yes!"

Qian Xunye wasted no more time and immediately planted Dark Night Marks in all six of them.

After sensing the power of the Dark Night Mark, Xie Yue, Yan, and the others were all overjoyed and grateful that they had made the right choice.

Qian Xunye said to Yan, "Hey, you red-haired brat. Now that you're my nominal disciple, your future achievements will be limitless. Don't fucking embarrass me by becoming Hu Liena's lapdog in the future. Your future will place you far beyond anything Hu Liena can ever reach, understand?"

"Uh... understood, Lord Xunye," Yan said awkwardly.

"Alright, go to class. If you encounter any problems in cultivation in the future, come find me."

With that, Qian Xunye left first.

Dark Night Mark slots remaining: 83.
