I, Qian Xunji, Bow to No Pressure

What did you mean, nothing else?

Bibi Dong, who had been listening intently from the side, immediately flared up.

"Little crocodile, what kind of bullshit is that?"

Bibi Dong rolled up her sleeves, exposing her pale arms as she marched over aggressively.

"Little spider, you've got quite the temper!"

Tian Yue answered with no less force.

Born with a golden spoon in her mouth,

she could be considered one of heaven's favored daughters.

Could she really suffer this kind of bullying at Spirit Hall Academy?

Su Mu was completely dumbfounded.

He had only just finished laying down the rules, and they already wanted to fight?

Little crocodile, little spider?

Were these two planning to become sworn enemies?

Su Mu rubbed his forehead, coughed twice, and reached out to tug both girls by the ears.

"Both of you, settle down."

The anger in their eyes instantly vanished, replaced by obedient, aggrieved expressions.

"We were wrong," they said in unison.

Seeing this, Su Mu did not continue punishing them.

He released their ears and warned, "If you dare mess around again, both of you will go stand facing the wall and reflect. Do you really think I wouldn't punish you?"

Tian Yue nodded repeatedly.

Bibi Dong was also exceptionally obedient.

"Tian Yue, this is your first time joining the team, so I'll introduce you to our members."

Su Mu decided to introduce Tian Yue to them.

"Xie An and Hu Liena are an extremely close pair of partners. They work together seamlessly and are quite strong."

"Dugu Xin is Dugu Bo's son. His martial soul has evolved from the Jade-Scaled Snake into the Jade Phosphor Dragon."

After learning the basics about the three of them, Tian Yue greeted each of them in turn.

"My Golden Crocodile King can provide all of you with exceptionally powerful defense."

Tian Yue was fairly confident.

"For today, get familiar with each other first. Afterward, I'll assign you some simple missions to build up your coordination. They'll all involve hunting low-level soul beasts."

Spirit City had many high-level bounty missions.

Low-level soul masters could not complete them.

High-level soul masters could not be bothered with them.

This created many gaps that were gradually filled by mercenary groups, though the strengths of those groups varied greatly.

The missions they could take on were also quite limited.

Every year, quite a few soul masters died while hunting soul beasts.

If soul beasts were not so difficult to transform into human form,

then the storage Soul Tools and Gold Soul Coins left behind by the humans who died each year alone would have been enough to drive soul beasts completely mad.

"Hey, hey, hey, Tian Yue, hadn't you heard of Boss Su before?"

Xie An and Hu Liena came over and flanked Tian Yue from both sides.

"Of course I had. It was just that, for certain special reasons, I had never come here before. And the reason my first soul ring could increase in age was also Su Mu's Whale Rubber body-tempering method."

The reason she had her current soul ring was precisely because of Su Mu.

Golden Crocodile Douluo had mentioned Su Mu before. He was a healing-type soul master who possessed abilities even stronger than the Nine-Heart Begonia.

The Nine-Heart Begonia had only one effect for all its soul skills: healing. Yet Su Mu's Healing Angel lineage could soar through the sky and also possessed the ability to protect itself.

Soul masters with self-protection abilities were extremely rare and could play a greater role on the battlefield.

"No wonder. And isn't Boss Su incredibly good-looking?"

Hu Liena said with a grin.

Tian Yue agreed. "Beautiful. The kind that leaves you stunned and makes your heart race at first sight."

Tian Yue had seen him, and she had already decided in her heart that Su Mu was someone very special.

"Little crocodile, I have to say, you do have good taste. Senior Brother really is beautiful."

The moment Bibi Dong saw the three of them talking about Su Mu, she immediately joined in.

Tian Yue gave a soft snort. "As if you needed to say that, spider girl. I don't know what makes you qualified to be Su Mu's junior sister."

Bibi Dong's expression darkened. "Little crocodile, watch your words. Senior Brother is someone different to me, and you and I have only just met."

Tian Yue snorted. "Spider girl, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're his junior sister."

"Sorry, but I really can do whatever I want. I've even washed under Senior Brother's bed, and I wash his clothes and underwear too."

Bibi Dong planted her hands on her hips and spoke with utter confidence.

No one knew Su Mu better than she did.

"Underwear?" Tian Yue thought she had heard wrong.

Xie An and Hu Liena were stunned as well.

They had never heard of this before. Then they exchanged looks and began to laugh.

As people with a penchant for gossip, they were extremely interested in this matter.

"Dong'er, I think you're really itching for a beating."

Su Mu had been thinking about the trip to the Blue Silver Forest.

But when he heard Bibi Dong's brazen words, his anger instantly surged.

He immediately appeared behind Bibi Dong, locked an arm around her neck, and began knocking her on the head.

"Senior Brother, have mercy! Dong'er only misspoke," Bibi Dong begged.

She really had only misspoken.

"I think you did it on purpose. You secretly washed my clothes yourself, and you still have the nerve to say it out loud?"

Su Mu was furious.

Bibi Dong really dared to say anything.

She had never suffered a loss in ordinary times.

"Senior Brother, I was wrong. Stop hitting me. As your junior sister, I've always had your best interests at heart. Please forgive me."

Bibi Dong began acting cute.

Of course, only Bibi Dong herself knew the bitterness, sweetness, hardships, and joys of that process.

No one knew what Bibi Dong had done during it.

Just as Su Mu was not planning to let Bibi Dong off, a tremendous boom suddenly came from the direction of the Pope's Palace, accompanied by a golden beam shooting into the sky.

"I, Qian Xunji, have broken through to Titled Douluo!"

Qian Xunji flew out of the Pope's Palace and hovered in midair, laughing toward the heavens. He raised both hands and clenched them toward the sky, his aura soaring incomparably high.

Soon after, Qian Daoliu flew over as well. Seeing that Qian Xunji had successfully broken through, he revealed a gratified smile and inwardly marveled at the wonders of the immortal herb.

A single immortal herb had allowed Ji'er to break through to Titled Douluo ahead of time, and he could even attach a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

With a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, his realm after breaking through to Titled Douluo would be higher.

A Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, however, would impose limitations. He might only be able to reach rank ninety-seven.

Azure Luan Douluo was not lacking in talent, but because his ninth soul ring was not a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, he had been stuck at rank ninety-seven for a long time.

"Father, I will definitely become the strongest Pope in history. When that day comes, the Qian family genealogy will have to be rewritten starting with me."

"I, Qian Xunji, should rightfully occupy the first position."

Qian Xunji laughed wildly.

As for where his confidence came from,

it naturally came from his two disciples.

It made his confidence swell to the brim.

Qian Daoliu's face twitched. Hearing his precious eldest son utter such arrogant words left him utterly speechless.

"Enough. Talk after you become a Peerless Douluo. You want to put yourself first in the family genealogy? The strongest of the previous Popes were all Peerless Douluo."

"They couldn't do it, but my disciples have divine inheritances. Did their disciples? Spirit Hall will produce gods in the future!"

Qian Xunji spoke as if it were only natural.

I, Qian Xunji, bow to no pressure!

Qian Daoliu clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed his anger.

What a filial, wonderful eldest son he had!

No, no. He needed to take the other three to hunt soul beasts now.
