Beginning the Undercover Mission

Outside Spirit City on Douluo Continent, an elder and a youth were walking toward the city.

Through the smiles on their faces, one could tell that the two of them were very happy.

Especially the old man, who was smiling as he spoke to the child beside him:

"Hao, you really brought face to your grandfather. At seven and a half years old, you have obtained a second soul ring and become a Grand Soul Master, and your second soul ring is even a millennium soul ring."

"When we return to the Elder Hall, Grandpa must go and fiercely show off to those old fellows."

Hearing this, Jin Hao spoke to his grandfather, Golden Crocodile Douluo:

"Grandpa, it is fine if you talk to the other grandpas, but do not forget that Sister Xue'er is already a Spirit Ancestor at just thirteen years old, so you cannot show off in front of Great Grandfather."

At this, Golden Crocodile Douluo waved his hand and then said:

"What does that matter? Xue'er has the Six-Winged Angel martial soul and Rank 20 Innate Soul Power, but you are not bad either. You not only have Innate Full Soul Power, but also twin martial souls—the Myriad Manifestations Mirror, which can replicate other people's martial souls, and the Golden Dragon Crocodile, an evolved martial soul of the Golden Crocodile King that rivals a true dragon."

"When the time comes later, Xue'er might not surpass you."

Hearing this, Jin Hao also smiled. Jin Hao knew very well that the future Qian Renxue was going to inherit the Angel God Position, but if he could not find a godhead to inherit or create one of his own, then even if his second martial soul absorbed all hundred-thousand-thousand-year soul rings by then, he still would not compare to Qian Renxue.

Thinking of Qian Renxue, Jin Hao also pondered that Qian Renxue was thirteen now, which meant it was almost time for her to head to the Heaven Dou Empire to go undercover and carry out the usurpation plan. Thinking of this, Jin Hao only felt it was a pity. With such good Rank 20 Innate Soul Power, instead of cultivating inside Spirit City, she was running off to go undercover and waste her talent.

Therefore, Jin Hao prepared to return to Spirit City this time and go have a good chat with his childhood sweetheart, persuading her not to go undercover in the Heaven Dou Empire.

Just as Jin Hao was still thinking about this, a figure appeared right in front of Golden Crocodile and Jin Hao.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the grandfather and grandson called out:

"Eldest Brother!" "Great Grandfather!"

The newcomer was none other than Qian Daoliu.

Seeing Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile said to him:

"Eldest Brother, why did you even come outside Spirit City to meet us? Could it be that you knew our little Hao's second soul ring was a millennium soul ring?"

Hearing this, a smile also surfaced at the corner of Qian Daoliu's mouth as he spoke:

"I didn't expect little Hao's second soul ring to actually be a millennium soul ring. Truly a joyous and congratulatory occasion."

Hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo laughed happily, while Jin Hao could see a bitter smile on Qian Daoliu's face.

Within his gaze, there was also a lingering expression as if he felt sorry for him and his grandfather.

Seeing this scene, Jin Hao spoke up:

"Grandpa, we might as well ask Great Grandfather why he came to find us."

At this, Golden Crocodile said:

"That's right. Eldest Brother, did you have something to convey when you came to find us?"

Hearing the words of the grandfather and grandson, especially Jin Hao's remark just then, Qian Daoliu believed from the bottom of his heart that Jin Hao was a sensible, good child, and in his heart he felt even more apologetic toward Jin Hao.

Then Qian Daoliu spoke:

"Second Brother, little Hao, I have failed you both!"

"While you two were away from Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong plotted a usurpation plan. During this period, the Heaven Dou Empire's Second Prince, Xue Qinghe, is also out obtaining his second soul ring. Bibi Dong's meaning is that before little Hao returns to Spirit City, we will publicly declare that an accident occurred during this trip to acquire little Hao's soul ring, and that little Hao has perished. Then, we will go and kill Xue Qinghe, and rely on little Hao's martial soul's ability to copy other people's martial souls to have little Hao replace Xue Qinghe, becoming the prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. Afterward, Spirit Hall will cooperate with little Hao to help him eliminate Xue Qinghe's brothers, securing little Hao's position as the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."

Hearing this, Jin Hao was stunned. What did this mean? Wasn't this Xue'er's mission? How did Bibi Dong set her sights on him instead?

Equally shocked, Golden Crocodile was displeased. His grandson possessed the strongest talent in their family for many years, with a martial soul that rivaled a true dragon after its evolution. Now Bibi Dong wanted to send him off to do some undercover plan—wasn't this wasting his talent?

Therefore, Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke up:

"No, Eldest Brother, I disagree. Little Hao's talent cannot be wasted on undercover work."

"Besides, as for that woman Bibi Dong, how dare she let little Hao go undercover? If Xue'er weren't still young, the position of Pope wouldn't have fallen to her in the first place."

"If worse comes to worst, Eldest Brother, you can retake control of Spirit Hall and not let Bibi Dong be this Pope. In any case, I do not agree to let little Hao go."

Looking at the extremely unwilling and furious Golden Crocodile, Qian Daoliu sighed and said to him:

"Second Brother, I am not happy to let little Hao go undercover either. Little Hao also grew up before my eyes; who would want to waste his talent?"

"But I have no choice either. You also know that ever since Qian Xunji died four years ago, Xue'er has only had Bibi Dong left as a mother. Xue'er has always wanted to grow close to Bibi Dong, but you know Bibi Dong's attitude toward Xue'er. Originally, when Bibi Dong told me she wanted little Hao to go undercover, I directly rejected her."

"But do you know what Bibi Dong said to me after I refused? She told me that if I disagreed to let little Hao go, she would send Xue'er instead. She said that given Xue'er's current attitude toward her, as long as she told Xue'er: 'Go complete this matter, and I will acknowledge you.' Second Brother, you are clear on what Xue'er is like; when the time comes, Xue'er will definitely go."

"Second Brother, as an elder of Spirit Hall, you should understand what Xue'er's Rank 20 Innate Soul Power represents. Xue'er is someone who can potentially re-establish the glory of the Angel God. Therefore, I cannot let Xue'er go."

After saying this, Qian Daoliu fell silent.

Hearing these words, Golden Crocodile understood as well, realizing why Qian Daoliu had made such a decision. Qian Renxue truly was an existence capable of inheriting the Angel God Position.

Yet, thinking of his own grandson having to go undercover and waste his talent, Golden Crocodile remained displeased.

Just as Golden Crocodile was still hesitating, Jin Hao stepped forward and spoke:

"Great Grandfather, I am willing to go. A man going is always better than Sister Xue'er going."

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu said to Jin Hao:

"Good child, such a good child! Rest assured, Great Grandfather will not just let you go like this. Great Grandfather will send two Title Douluo to protect you, and Great Grandfather will take an eighty-thousand-year spirit bone from Spirit Hall's treasury to give you as a reward for going undercover, compensating for the talent that the undercover work will waste."

"Right now, the remaining eighty-thousand-year spirit bones are only the right arm bone, trunk bone, and left leg bone. Little Hao, which position do you want?"

Hearing this, Jin Hao spoke up:

* "At that time, I'll have my grandfather help me choose one that suits my martial soul."

At this moment, Golden Crocodile Douluo said to Jin Hao:

"Little Hao, have you thought this through?"

"Grandpa, don't worry, I've thought it through. I grew up together with Sister Xue'er, and I cannot watch Sister Xue'er go."

Hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo said:

"Sigh, alright then. Little Hao, rest assured, when the time comes Grandpa will also send two people to go protect you, and Grandpa will often come to visit you."
