Leaving Academy and Trial

School office.

Morning.

Quan Cangtian pushed the door open and went in.

Two people stood there.

Quan Bo, the old steward of the Quan Family and a Spirit Douluo.

Quan Feng, a young guard and a Spirit Saint.

Quan Bo saw him.

"Young Patriarch."

The tone was complicated.

Quan Cangtian nodded.

"Quan Bo."

He walked over.

"Why are you here?"

Quan Bo did not waste words.

"The head of the family sent us to investigate the Dark Soul Cult."

"The Dark Soul Cult?"

"We found out about the Evil Soul Master from the snack street yesterday."

Quan Bo handed over a file.

"Their target is the heavenly fire inside you."

Quan Cangtian took the file.

He opened it.

Dark Soul Cult.

A secret organization of Evil Soul Masters.

They collected various special types of soul power.

Target: heavenly fire.

He closed the file.

His gaze was cold.

"Dark Soul Cult..."

Quan Bo looked at him.

"The family head is worried about your safety, so he asked me to bring some resources."

He handed over a Storage Ring.

Quan Cangtian took it.

He opened it.

Pills, spirit herbs, and Spirit Bones.

There was also a jade box.

It was packed separately.

Quan Bo: "That jade box contains an Immortal Herb, prepared a thousand years ago."

Quan Cangtian opened the jade box.

Zixiao Thunder Ganoderma.

An aura of thunder and lightning rushed toward his face.

"Zixiao Thunder Ganoderma. It is most suitable for Zixiao."

Quan Cangtian smiled.

"Prepared a thousand years ago?"

Quan Bo: "Arranged by our ancestors."

Quan Cangtian closed the jade box.

"Good."

He put the Storage Ring away.

"Is there anything else?"

Quan Bo shook his head.

"No. The family head asked me to tell you to be careful of the Dark Soul Cult. They are not simple."

Quan Cangtian nodded.

"I know."

He turned around.

He left.

Dormitory.

Afternoon.

Huo Yuhao was there.

Wang Dong was there.

Zixiao was there.

Quan Cangtian pushed the door open and entered.

He took the resources out of the Storage Ring.

A pile of pills and a pile of spirit herbs.

Huo Yuhao looked.

He was stunned.

Wang Dong looked.

Her gaze was complicated.

Zixiao looked.

She didn't speak.

Quan Cangtian picked up two pills.

"Huo Yuhao, these are for you."

He handed them over.

"Soul Ascension Pills. One pill raises you by one level. Two are enough for you to reach Level 18."

He picked up a pile of spirit herbs again.

"These are for you too. They are enough for you to break through to Level 20."

Huo Yuhao took them.

His hands were shaking.

"This... is too much."

Quan Cangtian: "Take them."

Huo Yuhao looked at him.

"Young Patriarch... I..."

Quan Cangtian interrupted him.

"Don't call me Young Patriarch. Call me Big Brother."

Huo Yuhao was stunned.

Then he smiled.

"Big Brother."

Quan Cangtian nodded.

"Take them now. I will protect your cultivation."

Huo Yuhao sat down.

He took the first Soul Ascension Pill.

The pill entered his body.

His soul power climbed.

Level 16... Level 17!

Quan Cangtian stood nearby.

The powers of destruction and Abundance enveloped Huo Yuhao.

They stabilized his foundation.

They prevented any instability.

Huo Yuhao took the second Soul Ascension Pill.

Level 17... Level 18!

Then he took the spirit herbs.

His soul power continued to climb.

Level 18... Level 19... Level 20!

Breakthrough!

Quasi Grand Soul Master!

The whole process lasted for two hours.

Huo Yuhao opened his eyes.

His gaze was firm.

He looked at Quan Cangtian.

"Big Brother, I won't let you down."

Quan Cangtian smiled.

"Mm."

Zixiao watched.

Quan Cangtian took out the jade box.

"Zixiao, this is for you."

Zixiao took it.

She opened it.

Seeing the Zixiao Thunder Ganoderma, her eyes lit up slightly.

"This is..."

Quan Cangtian: "Zixiao Thunder Ganoderma. It was prepared for you a thousand years ago."

Zixiao looked at him.

Her gaze was complicated.

"A thousand years ago..."

Quan Cangtian: "Take it. It's enough for you to break through to level 40."

Zixiao nodded.

She took the Immortal Herb.

The Immortal Herb entered her body.

Lightning erupted.

Zixiao's soul power climbed crazily.

Level 35... Level 36... Level 37... Level 38... Level 39... Level 40!

Breakthrough!

Quasi Soul Ancestor!

The entire process lasted for an hour and a half.

Zixiao opened her eyes.

Lightning danced in her deep purple pupils.

She looked at Quan Cangtian.

She smiled.

Xiao Xiao pushed the door open and came in.

Seeing the resources, she was stunned.

Quan Cangtian looked at her.

"For you."

He handed over a portion of resources.

"Enough for you to rise to Level 18."

Xiao Xiao took them.

"This... is too much."

Quan Cangtian: "Take them."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

She put the resources away.

Her heart felt sweet.

But she didn't say it out loud.

Quan Cangtian looked at everyone.

"I have a plan."

Everyone looked at him.

"The things at the school are basically all learned."

"We're going out for a trial."

Huo Yuhao: "Where to?"

Quan Cangtian: "Challenge dojos, exterminate the Dark Soul Cult, and then go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a soul ring for Zixiao."

Zixiao: "A soul ring?"

Quan Cangtian: "A top-tier lightning-attribute sub-dragon species. It suits you."

Zixiao's eyes lit up.

"Okay."

Wang Dong was on the side.

She didn't speak.

But she would follow.

Xiao Xiao was on the side.

She didn't speak either.

But she would follow too.

Quan Cangtian: "We leave tomorrow."

At the academy gates.

Late at night.

The five of them packed their luggage.

Preparing to set off tomorrow.

They walked to the academy gates.

Wanting to take one last look.

Suddenly—

A terrifying pressure descended.

The entire Tianhun City was trembling.

Everyone looked up.

An old man descended from the sky.

With white hair and a white beard.

His gaze was as sharp as a knife.

Quan Batian.

A level-99 semi-god.

Cangtian Douluo.

He looked at Quan Cangtian.

And smiled.

"Little Cangtian."

Quan Cangtian was stunned.

"Grandpa? Why are you here?"

Quan Batian: "I heard you're going out for a trial?"

Quan Cangtian: "Yeah."

Quan Batian: "Where to?"

Quan Cangtian: "Challenge dojos, exterminate the Dark Soul Cult, and then go to the Extreme North."

Quan Batian: "The Extreme North?"

Quan Cangtian: "Help Huo Yuhao acquire his third martial soul. The Ice Emperor."

Quan Batian finished listening.

And smiled.

"The Ice Emperor? A 400,000-year-old Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion?"

Quan Cangtian: "Yeah."

Quan Batian: "Good. I'll take you."

Quan Cangtian was stunned.

"Grandpa, you're taking us?"

Quan Batian: "The Extreme North is dangerous. I'm not at ease with just a few little dolls like you going."

Quan Cangtian: "But Grandpa, you're a semi-god, going to the Extreme North..."

Quan Batian interrupted him.

"What is there to fear? If we can talk it out, we'll cooperate directly."

"If we can't talk it out, we'll suppress them first, then reason with them."

Quan Cangtian smiled.

"Good."

Quan Batian looked at the others.

"You few, get yourselves ready."

The few of them were momentarily stunned, then recovered and nodded.

Zixiao didn't speak.

She only looked at Quan Cangtian.

Quan Batian: "We set off tomorrow. To the Extreme North."

Huo Yuhao looked at Quan Batian.

A level-99 semi-god.

Cangtian Douluo.

He felt shock in his heart.

The young patriarch's grandfather... is this strong?

Xiao Xiao looked at Quan Batian.

The Quan family... is this strong?

Zixiao looked at Quan Cangtian.

Her heart felt warm.

Grandpa has come.

He will be even safer.

Quan Batian looked at Quan Cangtian.

"As for the matter of the Dark Soul Cult, I already know."

"I will send people to keep an eye on them."

"You guys go to the Extreme North, don't worry about it."

Quan Cangtian nodded.

"Okay."

Quan Batian smiled.

"Let's go. Go back and rest."

"We set off tomorrow."

He turned around.

And walked away.

The pressure dissipated.

Tianhun City returned to peace.

Quan Cangtian looked at Quan Batian's retreating back.

Grandpa has come.

The Extreme North is secure.

He looked at the others.

"Let's go. Go back and rest."

The group nodded.

Zixiao walked over.

And held his hand.

"We set off tomorrow."

Quan Cangtian smiled.

"Yeah."

Dormitory.

Late at night.

Quan Cangtian lay on the bed.

Thinking about tomorrow's affairs.

The Extreme North.

The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.

Four hundred thousand years.

Grandpa leading the team.

It's secure.

He closed his eyes.

And fell asleep.

Huo Yuhao was in his dorm.

Unable to sleep.

Thinking about today's events.

Quan Cangtian gave him resources.

And called him big brother.

He broke through to level 20.

Tianhun City.

Late at night.

Quan Batian stood on a rooftop.

Looking up at the sky.

"Dark Soul Cult..."

He said in a low voice.

"Daring to touch my grandson..."

He smiled.

"You're courting death."

[Envoy of Elation Danmaku]: A level-99 semi-god grandpa is personally leading the team. The Ice Emperor: I thank you so much, how is this even supposed to be negotiated?
