Innate Full Soul Power spirit masters numbered only a dozen or so in the entire Spirit Master World, and every one of them was exceptionally outstanding.
And now, there was one right before them, whose martial soul was even...
How could Spirit Hall not be tempted?
"No!" Nannan refused decisively without a second thought.
Spirit Hall would not let this opportunity slip away, especially with Elder Ju present. He could not possibly miss it.
Bofeng hurriedly asked, "Can I get my Soul Master's Handbook?"
He wanted to get the Soul Master's Handbook as soon as possible, then make a quick escape.
Elder Ju was somewhat displeased. "I'm speaking to your sister. What right do you have to interrupt?"
As he spoke, the pressure radiating from him failed to make Bofeng submit.
This presence! He was indeed a Titled Douluo. What a miscalculation—he had not expected the Martial Soul Main Hall to have a Titled Douluo.
Bofeng replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I am her brother and her guardian. I have the right to answer your questions on her behalf. Besides, she doesn't wish to take you as her master. Could it be that Spirit Hall forces people against their will?"
"You..." Elder Ju was furious for a moment.
Yet for the sake of this little girl with a top-tier martial soul, he had no choice but to suppress his anger.
"How presumptuous! You dare..." Salas immediately roared.
The Elder Ju beside him held an exalted position and was also a Titled Douluo. They were determined to obtain this little girl.
"Forget it, Salas. Give him the Soul Master's Handbook," Elder Ju ordered.
"But..." Bishop Salas had just begun to speak when Elder Ju glared him into silence.
Though dissatisfied, in this world where strength reigned supreme, he had no choice but to obey Elder Ju's command.
Salas then walked to the side, where a fist-sized black stone rested. It was similar to the one used to awaken martial souls earlier, except its shape was different.
With obvious displeasure in his voice, he said, "Place your hand on it and release your martial soul."
Bofeng looked ahead, already considering how he could escape this place.
Escaping before a Titled Douluo would undoubtedly be difficult.
But the Sea God's Crown could do it.
Immediately, the soul rings beneath Bofeng's feet lit up. Two yellow soul rings rose and circled his waist, while a blue Trident appeared in his right hand.
Guided by his Soul Power, it slowly entered the black stone before him. At once, the stone emitted a dazzling blue light.
Salas asked doubtfully, "A level twenty-eight Soul Grandmaster? How old are you this year? And why have I never seen your martial soul before?"
Elder Ju, standing nearby, was intrigued. Why did this Trident seem so familiar? It resembled a weapon he had encountered before, but he could not recall it for the moment.
Bofeng said, "This is my martial soul, the Trident. I'm eighteen this year."
(In truth, he was eleven. He merely looked mature for his age.)
"Eighteen, a Trident martial soul, and level twenty-eight Soul Power? So-so, I suppose."
Before long, Salas had prepared the Soul Master's Handbook. With this item, Bofeng could finally prove his identity as a spirit master.
He was no longer an unregistered nobody.
"Fine. From now on, you are a spirit master of the Heaven Dou Empire." Salas spoke impatiently as he handed the Soul Master's Handbook to Bofeng.
The so-called Soul Master's Handbook was merely an iron badge engraved with Bofeng's martial soul information and Soul Power Level.
After putting away the Soul Master's Handbook, Bofeng stepped forward and picked up Nannan. Their business here was done; it was time to return.
"Hold it!"
Elder Ju took a step forward and, without anyone noticing, had already blocked the siblings' path.
Was this the speed of a Titled Douluo?
Bofeng frowned slightly. "Elder, is there anything else? If it's about making my sister your disciple..."
"Then forget it. Before we left, Mother taught us not to interact with strangers, so..."
Elder Ju did not get angry. Instead, he smiled. "Do you know who I am? It is your sister's good fortune that I am willing to accept her as my disciple."
"I would rather not have such good fortune. Spirit Hall isn't controlled by your family alone. How about this? Let's follow my sister's wishes." Bofeng proposed.
"Nannan, are you willing to take this uncle as your master?" Bofeng asked.
Nannan looked at the stranger before her and immediately took a dislike to him. He had yelled at her brother, so he was someone Nannan did not like.
"I don't want to. Big Sister is much stronger than him. Nannan wants Big Sister to be her master."
Upon hearing Nannan's words, Elder Ju grew anxious instead.
If he missed this chance, then...
Besides, Spirit Hall would not let someone it had set its sights on leave so easily.
"Who exactly is this Big Sister of yours, to be even stronger than me?" Elder Ju asked in return. After being a Titled Douluo for so many years, he was curious who could be stronger than him. At the very least, the other party would have to be a Titled Douluo.
"Big Sister is Big Sister. Brother, let's hurry home. Nannan is hungry."
"Alright!"
A smile immediately appeared on Bofeng's face. Ignoring Elder Ju's ugly expression, he walked straight past him.
"Do you think you can leave?"
Elder Ju shouted. Golden Light flashed from his right hand, and chrysanthemums filled the air. Their golden petals gradually transformed into sharp blades that radiated chilling cold, surrounding the siblings from all sides.
"What do you mean by this? Are you planning to forcibly keep us siblings here?" Bofeng frowned slightly and held Nannan tighter in his arms.
"I am an elder of Spirit Hall: Yue Guan. My title is Chrysanthemum Douluo." Elder Ju spoke calmly, intending to use the pressure of a Titled Douluo to make the siblings submit.
"Ju Hua Guan?" Bofeng said in surprise. "So you're Ju Hua Guan!"
Veins bulged on Yue Guan's forehead. He hated it most when people called him by that nickname.
"Kid, I'll give you one last chance. I can let you join Spirit Hall as well. I will spare no effort in nurturing your sister, and I can occasionally guide you too. How about it? You should know that personal guidance from a Titled Douluo is more important than anything else." Yue Guan offered generous terms. An ordinary person would surely accept them, but Bofeng was not ordinary.
Bofeng smiled disdainfully. Was a Titled Douluo's guidance really that valuable?
Since childhood, he had received guidance in turn from the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluo, and he was often taught by his mother. If not for Sea God Island's special status, once Bofeng revealed his true martial soul and soul rings, even the one in Pontiff Hall would likely be alarmed—perhaps even that Six-winged Angel Peerless Douluo who had once pursued his mother.
"Ju Hua Guan, I'm truly sorry, but there's no taking it back."
As he spoke, the Sea God's Crown atop Bofeng's head erupted with dazzling Golden Light. In an instant, the entire Martial Soul Main Hall was flooded with golden radiance.
By the time Ju Hua Guan reacted, the siblings had already vanished from the hall.
He clenched his fists. Never before had anyone dared escape right in front of him, and so openly at that.
"Salas, pass down the order. Search the entire city for those two."
