"Ye Chen, from now on, if you tell us to go east, we'll never go west."
Yu Feng was the first to state his position.
As a member of the Imperial Fighting Team, he was also considered a genius at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
However, he could not compare to Captain Yu Tianheng, much less Ye Chen.
With a powerful backer like Ye Chen, all he could do was cling tightly to him. From now on, Ye Chen would be one of his connections.
"That's right. From now on, you're our big brother."
The Shi Mo brothers said foolishly.
The two had been won over by Ye Chen's strength. Having such a big brother, they accepted it wholeheartedly.
Thus, Yu Tianheng was the captain while Ye Chen was their big brother. The two held different positions.
"I, Osler, am convinced as well."
Osler also stated his stance.
He knew clearly that this was his only chance to get close to Ye Chen, so he had to build a good relationship with him.
When Ye Chen became a Titled Douluo in the future, this connection would bring considerable benefits to both his family and himself.
"Although I'm the captain, I have no choice but to admire Brother Ye's strength."
Yu Tianheng greatly admired Ye Chen.
A twelve-year-old Soul King whose every soul ring had been absorbed beyond its limit—who knew how powerful he would become in the future?
Perhaps Ye Chen alone could suppress the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. No matter what, Yu Tianheng could not afford to become enemies with him.
"You don't need to care too much about me."
"I'm going to strive for a breakthrough to Soul Emperor next. Train your coordination yourselves. I'll handle everything."
Ye Chen had originally planned to crush everyone single-handedly.
If the Advanced Soul Master Tournament had not required seven people to register and an academy with the proper qualifications, he could have cleared it alone with ease.
Whether it was an individual battle or a team battle, no one his age could become his opponent.
The only thing that interested Ye Chen even a little was Hu Liena and Xie Yue's Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
"Then cultivate on your own, Ye Chen. I'll lead them through the next round of special training."
Qin Ming nodded in agreement.
With Ye Chen's strength, there was no need for him to take part in special training. It would be better for him to break through his realm.
Later, Ye Chen could spar one-on-one with the Imperial Fighting Team so they could familiarize themselves with one another's soul skills.
Spirit Hall, Papal Hall.
A woman sat in the seat of honor. She was the Pope of Spirit Hall—Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong was not tall. She wore a brilliant golden ceremonial gown that fit her perfectly from head to toe. The dazzling robe glittered with jeweled light and was set with more than a hundred red, blue, and gold gemstones.
The Nine-Curve Purple-Gold Crown atop her head shone with countless rays of light, while she held a nearly two-meter-long scepter inlaid with innumerable gems.
Her fair skin and nearly flawless features made her seem utterly extraordinary.
In particular, the invisible air of nobility and holiness she exuded made people unable to resist the urge to worship her.
Bibi Dong was breathtakingly beautiful—noble, elegant, serene. It seemed that every beautiful word in existence could be used to describe this woman.
Although she was no longer young, time seemed to have left no traces upon her.
"The Body Sect has finally appeared again?"
Bibi Dong's gaze turned cold.
She was extremely curious about the Body Sect, yet she had never managed to learn much about it.
Qian Renxue had kept her lips sealed.
Other than knowing that the Body Sect only accepted those with Body Martial Souls and possessed several Titled Douluo, she knew nothing else.
As the Pope of Spirit Hall, she did not know a single useful detail about the martial souls or soul rings of the Body Sect's members.
"Yue Guan, Gui Mei, make a trip to Heaven Dou City yourselves."
"Bring Ye Chen back to me. I want to see whether the person she chose really has three heads and six arms."
Bibi Dong sneered.
Qian Renxue had recruited Ye Chen into Heaven Dou Royal Academy to use him against Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.
This made Bibi Dong extremely displeased. Did Qian Renxue think she was worthy of being compared with Hu Liena?
Since Qian Renxue had chosen Ye Chen, she would destroy everything. She would ensure that Qian Renxue received no favor whatsoever.
"Yes, Your Holiness."
Yue Guan and Gui Mei withdrew respectfully.
Neither of them took Ye Chen seriously. He was merely the young sect master of some unknown sect.
Even if it possessed several Titled Douluo, it was still incomparable to a colossal force like Spirit Hall.
They were level 95 Super Douluo. Not only could they unleash a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but they could also restrain any Titled Douluo below level 99.
However, the drawbacks of the Two Extremes Static Domain were equally obvious. Not only could it be easily interrupted, but its users themselves could not move.
"Qian Renxue, you should be like me, able only to live in dark, damp corners."
Bibi Dong gripped the armrest tightly.
Back then, seeing that Qian Renxue was doted on by the various offerings in the Worship Hall, she had sent her out as an undercover agent.
Such a filthy thing would only make Bibi Dong feel sick if she remained before her.
On the other side.
The Worship Hall presented an entirely different scene.
"Big Brother, are we really not sending anyone to take a look?"
"That boy is suspected to be an inheritor of a god, and the Body Sect has many Titled Douluo. If Xue'er is exposed, she may be in danger."
Golden Crocodile Douluo was worried about Qian Renxue's safety.
Heaven Dou Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect alone were nothing to worry about. Neither force would dare keep Qian Renxue, but the Body Sect was different.
The Body Sect had at least five Titled Douluo, likely more than two above level 95. The rest of its powerful members were complete mysteries.
If Qian Renxue was exposed and Ye Chen felt deceived, it was possible that he might attack Xue'er. She Long and Ci Xue would not be able to protect her.
"Don't worry. Xue'er knows her limits."
"However, now that the Body Sect is preparing to emerge, our Worship Hall should indeed make contact with them."
Qian Daoliu needed to see the Body Sect's attitude toward Spirit Hall, as well as whether it stood with Xue Qinghe or with the Heaven Dou Empire.
If it stood with Xue Qinghe, then even if Qian Renxue's identity was exposed, their many years of friendship might leave room for reconciliation.
"Big Brother, let Guang Ling go. He looks harmless enough."
Golden Crocodile Douluo thought for a moment.
Guang Ling Douluo would be more suitable.
Guang Ling Douluo was a level 96 Peak Super Douluo, yet he looked like a child and would not give off too much pressure.
"Fine. Have Guang Ling sound out Xue'er again and see what her attitude toward Ye Chen and the Body Sect is."
Qian Daoliu respected Qian Renxue's choice.
If Ye Chen was an inheritor of a god, he would be the most suitable person for Xue'er. When the two ascended to the God Realm together in the future, they could look after one another.
The only problem was that Qian Renxue had been disguising herself as Xue Qinghe and deceiving Ye Chen. How could this enormous problem be resolved?
In truth, Ye Chen had been somewhat correct: divine authority stood above all else.
Compared with the Heaven Dou Empire's scheme of replacing the crown prince, Ye Chen, a suspected inheritor of a god, was far more important.
"Big Brother, Bibi Dong has definitely taken action."
Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression darkened.
Back then, he had suggested killing Bibi Dong. Keeping that woman alive would always be a future threat.
"The Body Sect is not so easy to bully."
"Tell Guang Ling that at a critical moment, he may lend the Body Sect a hand. Ye Chen is Xue'er's friend."
Qian Daoliu waved his hand.
In his view, if Ye Chen truly was an inheritor of a god, there might be a level 99 divine servant behind him.
Relying solely on Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to trouble Ye Chen would gain them no advantage.
Bibi Dong might even offend Ye Chen over this matter and end up losing both men and resources.
