Tang Chuan had been rather frail when he was first born.

To help him, Lan Yin often went in and out of the Star Dou Great Forest, searching for Immortal Herbs that could improve his constitution.

Of course, given her formidable strength, finding the herbs was not particularly difficult.

Even when she occasionally encountered ill-tempered Soul Beasts that bared their fangs at her,

one slap or a kick that knocked out a mouthful of teeth was enough to make their eyes immediately clear up.

What truly gave her a headache was Tang Chuan as a child.

Everyone knew how annoying children could be when they started throwing tantrums.

And Tang Chuan...

As a child, he had been more like a husky.

Whenever Lan Yin wanted to give him a medicinal bath, she had to put in a great deal of effort.

Until one day, by chance,

she lowered her head and discovered that as long as Tang Chuan had something in his mouth,

he would immediately quiet down.

His big eyes would be wide open, and he would behave obediently.

So, over the following years,

whenever she carried over a bucket filled with medicinal bathwater,

Tang Chuan knew it was time to eat Snow Rabbit Milk Candy.

Of course,

as Tang Chuan grew older, he gradually broke that bad habit.

Now, he preferred getting Snow Rabbit Slimes, Soul Beasts that could transform into any form.

And this matter

was obviously something Lan Yin could never tell Xiao Wu.

"It's really Innate Full Soul Power! Wonderful, hahaha!"

"Innate Full Soul Power along with a top-tier tool martial soul—congratulations, young friend. Congratulations, Your Excellency."

"If this child is properly nurtured, he will surely have the potential to become a Title Douluo in the future."

The master of Spirit Hall laughed heartily and cupped his hands toward Lan Yin, offering congratulations again and again.

After all, from his perspective,

the contrast between the worthless martial soul Blue Silver Grass and a top-tier tool martial soul with Innate Full Soul Power

was simply too overwhelming.

"May I ask whether Your Excellency requires Spirit Hall to issue an awakening certificate, so this good news can be shared with the young friend's other elders?"

After the awakening ceremony was complete, the master of Spirit Hall probed cautiously.

He was clearly trying to learn about their backgrounds.

His gaze inadvertently swept over the Clear Sky Hammer.

A flicker of surprise rose in his heart.

That hammer looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

"No need. We are merely unaffiliated wanderers, so there is no need to trouble you."

Lan Yin shook her head in refusal. What family did she have to share good news with?

The master of Spirit Hall quickly shifted his attention away from the Clear Sky Hammer.

His eyes filled with confusion, wild delight, cheering, and excitement.

He looked even more thrilled than when he had learned that Tang Chuan possessed Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power.

What did being unaffiliated wanderers mean?

It meant Lan Yin and the other two had no faction.

A powerhouse who was at least a Soul Douluo, perhaps even a Title Douluo, along with a genius Soul Master possessing Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power, had not joined any faction.

One had to know that such a combination,

would be treated as honored guests and received with the highest courtesy by top powers such as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Heaven Dou Royal Family, or the Star Luo Royal Family.

Yet they had come to Spirit Hall instead.

How could this old fox possibly fail to understand what that represented?

After a brief and friendly exchange between both sides,

Lan Yin politely declined the dinner arranged by the hall master, while inadvertently revealing in her words an interest in the Martial Soul Tournament Spirit Hall would hold a month later.

The hall master understood at once.

He immediately issued Tang Chuan and the others an invitation of the highest rank under his own name.

That way, they would encounter no obstacles on their journey to Spirit Hall.

The hall master personally saw Lan Yin and the others to the entrance.

After they left,

the clerical deacon who had been following behind him all along felt somewhat unwilling and confused.

"Hall Master, why didn't you invite them to join our Spirit Hall?"

"I feel like they don't seem opposed to it."

He could not understand why the hall master had given up such a good opportunity.

Yet the old man merely shook his head and sighed helplessly.

"It is precisely because they are not opposed that I cannot invite them."

The confusion on the clerical deacon's face deepened.

"If they were merely Soul Kings or Soul Emperors, this old man would naturally be willing to set aside his pride and beg them to join."

"But what if—what if they are Title Douluo?"

"Am I qualified? Am I worthy? Worthy my ass?"

"Only the worship elders who are also Title Douluo, as well as His Holiness the Pope, are qualified to invite a Title Douluo to join Spirit Hall."

"This is social etiquette, and it is also our respect for the strong."

"You still have a long way to go."

The hall master patted the deacon's shoulder, then immediately hurried back to his office and summoned scouts, preparing to send this news overnight to Spirit Hall's headquarters in Spirit City.

After the three left Spirit Hall, Xiao Wu suddenly became very enthusiastic.

She proposed going to the Nuoding Grand Hotel to celebrate Tang Chuan successfully awakening Twin Martial Souls.

Tang Chuan exposed her in a single sentence. "What celebration? You're obviously just craving food."

Xiao Wu's face instantly flushed crimson.

Ever since she had entered the city for the first time yesterday, she had been drawn to the grand hotel's decorations, which were far more luxurious than those of the other shops.

Unfortunately, the food inside was too expensive.

She could not afford it.

She could only think of a way to mooch off someone.

"Fine, but remember to scrub my back when we bathe tonight."

Hearing Tang Chuan say that,

Xiao Wu considered it for a moment before immediately nodding in agreement.

In her view, simply scrubbing someone's back was much easier than touching ears.

When dinnertime arrived, the three walked into the hotel laughing and chatting.

However, the moment Lan Yin entered, her steps paused, and her gaze instinctively turned toward a corner of the hotel.

"What is it, Sister Lan Yin?"

Xiao Wu asked curiously.

Ever since Lan Yin had erased her Soul Beast aura, Xiao Wu's ability to sense human powerhouses had weakened considerably.

She had not noticed at all that a Title Douluo was currently seated inside the hotel.

"It's nothing. Let's go in."

Lan Yin withdrew her gaze and led Tang Chuan and Xiao Wu toward another corner of the hotel.

At the same time,

a middle-aged man with dark green hair raised his head in confusion and looked around.

For an instant just now,

he had suddenly felt a sense of dread surge into his heart, making him unable to stop himself from shivering.

But when he looked carefully now, he could sense nothing around him.

He even began to wonder whether it had just been an illusion.

"Grandpa, what are you looking for? Hurry up and eat! I can't finish all this by myself."

Eight- or nine-year-old Dugu Yan still had beautiful shoulder-length purple hair. Seeing how distracted her grandfather was, she pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Oh dear, Grandpa got distracted by accident. Sorry, Yanyan."

After saying that, Dugu Bo lowered his head and began eating in earnest.

As night fell outside the window,

Tang Chuan inadvertently glanced toward the entrance while eating.

His gaze suddenly froze.

A stern-faced middle-aged man in white robes with white hair entered the hotel, leading a little girl with messy hair.

A strange look appeared in his eyes.

Because those two

were unmistakably the two "acquaintances" from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect currently wanted by Spirit Hall.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Ning Rongrong.
