On the Tree-Lined Path at Spirit Academy.
Sunlight filtered through the lush leaves, scattering patches of dappled light and shadow across the ground.
Dressed in his papal robes, Pope Qian Xunji carried himself with regal poise as he strolled along the quiet path with Qian Renchuan and Qian Renxue.
All along the way.
He was clearly in high spirits, his little mouth chattering away without pause.

"Little Chuan, Xiao Xue, your talents are unprecedented in the entire history of our Spirit Hall!"
"Innate full soul power, twin martial souls, and even a thousand-year first soul ring."
"With such gifts, you could scour the entire history of the Douluo Continent and never find another like you!"
As he walked, he swept his hand out, pointing at the buildings ahead.

"Both of you have the potential to inherit the Angel Godhood in the future!"
"When that day comes, our Qian Family will be the true gods of this continent!"
"Your father and grandfather have very high hopes for you."
Brimming with fervor, Qian Xunji kept painting visions of his grand ambitions and conquests.
