The Holy Dragon Soul Suppression erupted head-on.

The Windshadow Cat Soul Grandmaster's mind went blank.

His Windshadow Cat Martial Soul was suppressed by the high-level dragon might, causing his movements to stiffen abruptly.

This lapse in focus lasted only a single breath.

For a real battle, that was enough.

Chu Jin turned.

His Double Pupils locked onto the opponent's chest.

The three-hundred-jin heavy halberd thrust forward.

The Windshadow Cat Soul Grandmaster had just recovered from the mental shock, but the cold tip of the halberd was already resting against his chest.

Neither side made another move.

The training ground was silent.

The twenty-sixth-level Agility Attack System Soul Grandmaster looked down at the heavy halberd, then back up at Chu Jin.

From the moment the Holy Dragon Soul Suppression was activated to the halberd reaching him, only one breath had passed.

If this had been a life-or-death battle, he would already be dead.

"I lost."

He voluntarily retracted his Martial Soul.

The few onlookers from the Worship Hall wore varied expressions.

The gap in Soul Power still existed.

Chu Jin had won by relying on the combination of his First Soul Skill's surprise factor, the Double Pupils' lock-on, and the heavy halberd's strike.

This combination had already formed a complete combat system.

As Xiao Jin continued to evolve, the power of the Holy Dragon Soul Suppression would only grow.

Qian Daoliu announced in public.

"From today on, Chu Jin is officially listed as a core disciple of the Worship Hall."

"Golden Crocodile will be responsible for his physical and heavy weapon training."

"Guang Ling will be responsible for combat judgment, speed response, and long-range capabilities."

"Yue Guan will be responsible for Martial Soul growth materials and Soul Beast theory."

Upon hearing that Yue Guan was in charge of materials, Xiao Jin immediately ran to his feet and hugged the hem of his robe.

Yue Guan looked down.

"Just got back and you already know how to beg for food."

Though he sounded annoyed, he still took a Dragonblood Crystal from his Soul Tool.

Xiao Jin opened his mouth and latched onto it.

After the test ended, Chu Jin prepared to follow Golden Crocodile to the new training ground.

However, a youth wearing a gold-patterned noble robe walked into the entrance of the Worship Hall.

The youth looked a few years older than Chu Jin, with a handsome face, gentle features, and a naturally noble air in his demeanor.

He walked up to Qian Daoliu and bowed respectfully.

"Grandfather."

Qian Daoliu nodded.

"Qinghe, you've come at the right time."

"Chu Jin has just arrived in Spirit City and isn't familiar with the place yet. Over the next few days, you take him around to see the sights."

The youth named Qian Qinghe turned around and gave Chu Jin a gentle smile.

"Hello."

"My name is Qian Qinghe."

Chu Jin looked at him.

His Double Pupils activated subconsciously.

Golden Soul Power flowed slowly within the other person's body.

That aura was sacred and pure, with the faint outline of six golden wings existing behind it.

The Disguise Soul Bone covered the appearance and physique, but it could not completely hide the bones and Soul Power.

Chu Jin's gaze moved slowly downward from Qian Qinghe's face.

It paused at the chest for half a breath.

Qian Qinghe's smile remained gentle.

Yet, a trace of inexplicable vigilance arose in her heart.

What was this new little guy looking at just now?

In front of the Worship Hall, the atmosphere was quiet for a moment.

Qian Qinghe maintained her gentle smile, her gaze fixed on Chu Jin's face, but she felt an indescribable sense of oddity.

That glance just now had been too obvious.

This new little guy had looked from her face all the way down, finally stopping at her chest for a moment. If it were anyone else, Qian Qinghe might have just thought the other person lacked manners, but Chu Jin's second Martial Soul happened to be a pair of Double Pupils capable of seeing through the flow of Soul Power.

Could he have seen something?

Impossible.

This Disguise Soul Bone came from the Worship Hall's private collection; even a Titled Douluo would find it hard to spot flaws at close range. Chu Jin only had thirteen levels of Soul Power; even with special Double Pupils, he shouldn't be able to see through a Soul Bone disguise directly.

Qian Qinghe quickly suppressed the doubts in her heart and took the initiative to reach out.

"I will be the one showing you around Spirit City for the next few days."

Chu Jin shook hands with her.

"Sorry for the trouble."

"It's no trouble."

Qian Qinghe's smile was natural, but she applied a slight pressure before letting go, as if conducting some sort of test.

Chu Jin's expression did not change.

In the vision of his Double Pupils, the Light Soul Power within Qian Qinghe was far purer than that of an ordinary Soul Master. Golden Soul Power flowed from the dantian toward six special nodes on her back, each node faintly corresponding to an angel wing.

The Disguise Soul Bone had changed her appearance, voice, and body contour, but the essence of her Soul Power had never changed.

Chu Jin had already confirmed the other person's identity.

Qian Renxue.

The granddaughter of the Spirit Hall's Grand Elder Qian Daoliu, and the inheritor of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

As for why she appeared as Qian Qinghe, Chu Jin did not ask immediately. Everyone had secrets they didn't want to make public; since the other party hadn't volunteered the information, he had no interest in exposing her in public.

Qian Daoliu saw the reactions of both, but didn't think much of it.

Qian Renxue had been using the identity of Qian Qinghe for some time, and even many Soul Masters in the Worship Hall didn't know the truth. Even if Chu Jin's Double Pupils were special, he had only just awakened his second Martial Soul; he wouldn't be able to see through a high-quality Disguise Soul Bone immediately.

"Qinghe."

Qian Daoliu spoke: "First, take Chu Jin to get settled in his living quarters, then go for a walk in the city. He has a need for Martial Soul materials, so focus on showing him the material market and the library."

"I understand."

Qian Qinghe bowed slightly.

Chu Jin followed her out of the Worship Hall.

Xiao Jin had just received a Dragonblood Crystal and was currently lying on Chu Jin's shoulder, hugging the crystal and gnawing on it very earnestly. Every time it bit off a piece, fine golden light flowed along its scales toward the wings on its back.

The two walked down along Consecration Mountain.

Qian Qinghe walked in front, observing Chu Jin calmly.

Chu Jin did not continue to look at her, his attention mostly focused on the surrounding buildings and the passing Soul Masters.

This reaction made Qian Qinghe feel slightly relieved.

Perhaps it was just a coincidence earlier.

"Have you never left Bluestone Town before?"

"No."

"Spirit City is very large, and it's easy to get lost the first time you come. Consecration Mountain, Pope Mountain, and the Spirit Academy are located in three different directions, and in between, there are the Spirit Arena, the library, the material market, and the Soul Tool commercial district."

Qian Qinghe pointed to several buildings in the distance, introducing them to Chu Jin one by one.

She spoke very methodically and was very familiar with every area of Spirit City. When they encountered patrolling Soul Masters, they would also stop and bow respectfully.

Chu Jin watched for a while, then suddenly asked: "Why do they call you Young Master Qinghe?"

Qian Qinghe did not stop walking.

"I am from a branch of the Qian Clan. Grandfather likes me very much, so he often lets me enter the Worship Hall to cultivate."

This explanation was clearly prepared in advance.

There were no flaws in her tone, expression, or Soul Power fluctuations.

Chu Jin nodded.

"So that's how it is."

Qian Qinghe looked at him sideways.

"You don't doubt it?"

"What is there to doubt?"

"It's not common in Spirit Hall for a branch member of the Qian Clan to receive personal instruction from the Grand Elder."

Chu Jin glanced at her.

"Everyone has their own opportunities."

"If you don't want to say it, asking is useless. If you want to say it, you will say it even if I don't ask."

Qian Qinghe was slightly startled.

She had thought that because Chu Jin was young and had suddenly received attention from the Worship Hall, he would be curious about other people's identities and treatment.

As it turned out, he didn't press for answers at all.

What was even stranger was that these words, coming from a six-year-old child, didn't feel like he was pretending to be mature.
