Listening to Qian Renxue's introduction, Chen Xi immediately rose from his seat and respectfully bowed to Azure Luan.

"Chen Xi greets the Third Elder."

Azure Luan's expression did not change in response to Chen Xi's bow. Instead, he raised a hand, and an invisible pressure descended upon Chen Xi.

Feeling the slight weight settle over him, Chen Xi maintained his bow and remained motionless.

Seeing Chen Xi's response, Azure Luan glanced sideways and gradually increased the pressure. He also released his Mental Power to probe Chen Xi's.

The pressure and Mental Power probe steadily increased.

From Soul Power Level twenty-five at the start, to twenty-six, then twenty-seven, until reaching level thirty, Azure Luan slightly eased the pressure. A trace of approval appeared in his eyes.

The pressure and Mental Power probe continued to increase bit by bit.

Only upon reaching level thirty-three did a faint sheen of sweat appear on Chen Xi's forehead, yet he still struggled to maintain his bow.

It was not until the pressure rose to level thirty-five that Chen Xi finally could not help releasing his martial soul to resist Azure Luan's pressure.

"Your future is promising!"

"Though your foundation seems a little lacking, it is nothing serious."

"As long as you cultivate diligently in the future, you will certainly become the Young Mistress's right-hand man."

Azure Luan praised him before withdrawing his pressure and the Mental Power that had been continuously probing him.

"Xiao Xi works very hard."

"She only awakened her martial soul a month ago. With her Innate Full Soul Power talent and after consuming several Mystic Herbs, her Soul Power Level has already reached that of a level twenty-seven Soul Grandmaster."

Qian Renxue wore a faint smile as she softly explained Chen Xi's circumstances.

"A fine piece of jade requires careful polishing."

"I think she still lacks some tempering. What does the Young Mistress think of the Training Camp?"

Azure Luan casually found a place to sit and turned his smoky blue eyes toward Qian Renxue, asking for her opinion.

"The Training Camp?"

Qian Renxue lowered her head in thought.

"As long as she ranks in the top ten at the Training Camp, I will accept her as my disciple and impart everything I have learned in my life to her."

After some thought, Azure Luan added another condition.

Hearing this, Qian Renxue looked at Chen Xi, her eyes conveying a question.

"Xiao Xi, what do you think?"

"The Training Camp is, simply put, a place that selects geniuses from among geniuses."

"To enter the Training Camp, one must have at least level seven Innate Soul Power. Most of those inside are commoners' children, numbering around several dozen, and it follows militarized management."

"But the Third Elder just said that as long as you rank in the top ten, he will personally accept you as his disciple."

Qian Renxue briefly explained the Training Camp's situation, quietly watching Chen Xi.

"The Training Camp?"

"Are there any top-tier Soul Elders or Soul Ancestors there?"

Chen Xi asked cautiously.

"No."

"The strongest people entering the Training Camp are merely Soul Grand Masters. As long as you can knock them all down, you will be first in the Training Camp."

Azure Luan also turned his gaze toward Chen Xi.

Chen Xi's eyes brightened slightly.

If there were top-tier Soul Elders or Soul Ancestors there, he might have needed to consider whether he could make the top ten. After all, he was only a Two-Ring Great Spirit Master.

But if there were only Soul Grand Masters, Chen Xi felt secure.

After all, his record at the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena was extraordinarily impressive: ninety wins and zero losses.

In other words, among Two-Ring Great Spirit Masters, he had already knocked down ninety opponents, including the renowned genius of Heaven Dou City, Yu Tianheng.

Knocking down several dozen more people at the Training Camp did not seem too stressful.

"Big Sister, I think I can give it a try."

Chen Xi's expression was extremely serious.

"Mm. If your results do not meet the standard, write your sister a letter. I will personally find someone to teach you."

Qian Renxue reached out and patted Chen Xi's head.

"Big Sister, don't worry. I will definitely cultivate diligently and do my utmost to meet the Third Elder's requirements."

Chen Xi looked solemn.

Although using connections would be very nice.

Achieving it through his own efforts would feel far more rewarding.

Moreover, Chen Xi was very confident in his own strength. Once he activated his First Spirit Skill, he became a fully maxed-out all-round fighter. Combined with his Second Spirit Skill's immunity to fifty percent of attacks, he could both endure and fight.

Most importantly, he specialized in Mental Power. Whether in close combat or at range, he had virtually no weaknesses.

He was comparable to a close-combat magic caster.

"Mm, come with me first. I have prepared some things for you."

Qian Renxue beckoned to Chen Xi and led him toward her private chambers.

Upon entering Qian Renxue's chambers.

Qian Renxue took several dozen boxes of pastries from her Soul Tool, along with plenty of fruit, fruit juice, and similar items.

"Xiao Xi, put these into the Storage Bracelet I gave you. Training at the Training Camp is quite exhausting. When you are hungry, take some out and eat."

"This hairpin is for you too."

"And this dagger. You can use it for protection."

Qian Renxue placed an exquisitely crafted, clearly valuable hairpin into Chen Xi's hand, then took out a dagger that gleamed with cold light, its hilt set with a dark purple gemstone.

"Thank you, Big Sister."

Chen Xi thanked her and placed each item Qian Renxue had given him into his Storage Bracelet.

"Is the Gold Soul Card I gave you last time still enough?"

"If it is not, I will give you another one."

After watching Chen Xi put everything away, Qian Renxue asked another question.

"It's enough, Big Sister."

After putting everything away, Chen Xi looked at Qian Renxue before suddenly patting his chest. "Big Sister, when I return after finishing my studies, I will come to Heaven Dou City and help you."

"And once I become powerful enough, I will protect you."

Qian Renxue could not help freezing for a moment. Seeing Chen Xi's earnest little expression, she could not help smiling.

"Alright, I will wait for you to come help me in the future."

"As for protecting me, we can talk about that when you have the strength."

Qian Renxue reached out and tapped Chen Xi's little head.

"Alright, it is time for us to go out."

"Don't keep the Third Elder waiting too long."

Qian Renxue rose and headed outside.

Chen Xi remained half a step behind Qian Renxue, following at her back.

When they arrived before Third Elder Azure Luan, Qian Renxue reached out and patted Chen Xi's head.

"Grandpa Azure Luan, I will have to trouble you to take Xiao Xi back to Spirit City."

"Young Mistress, wasn't I here to pick her up?"

"Oh, right. The Grand Elder asked me to give you this letter."

Azure Luan took a letter from his person and handed it to Qian Renxue.
