A sharply defined jawline, a high nose bridge, and thin lips always pursed into a sharp arc—he exudes an air of authority without being angry.
Those amber vertical pupils were full of sharpness, with the corners of their eyes slanting towards their temples. The flowing golden light was like Thunder, and with just one glance, one could feel the powerful pressure lurking in one's bloodline.
His dark hair was tied back, with a few stray strands falling across his forehead, adding a touch of unruliness to his cold and handsome face. Every gesture he made exuded a natural aristocratic air and the sharp edge of a powerful figure, making people dare not look directly at him.
Judging from this, Yu Tianheng is indeed a man of exceptional talent.
Then Bibi Dong looked at Yu Xiaogang, who was standing next to Yu Tianheng.
By calculation, Yu Xiaogang is nearly fifty years old, and his Soul Power Level is not high. Logically speaking, he should look like a middle-aged man, or even older. However, to Bibi Dong's surprise, Yu Xiaogang is not old at all. On the contrary, he is younger than her, looking no more than twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old.
She was slender yet upright, and her faded blue cotton robe accentuated her sharp shoulder line.
What's most striking about him are his eyes—his jet-black pupils, like obsidian soaked in a clear spring, always revealing a stubbornness that seeks to understand the ways of the world.
With a high, straight nose, well-defined lips, and a pale complexion typical of someone who spends years buried in books, her brow bone appeared even more prominent.
His black hair was tied up with a simple wooden hairpin, and a few stray strands were often blown into disarray by the wind, adding to his air of unruly scholar.
He is not much different from Yu Xiaogang when he was young twenty years ago, except that with the passage of time, he has gained a unique aura.
Bibi wanted to recruit Yu Tianheng to serve the Spirit Hall, but after meeting Yu Xiaogang, all of that was forgotten.
Bibi Dong stared at Yu Xiaogang for a long time before finally saying, "You've come!"
Yu Xiaogang nodded. "Yes, I'm here. Bibi Dong, it's been a long time. How have you been?"
Because Yu Tianheng was present, Bibi Dong maintained her Pope dignity and thus did not reveal much emotion. "I am fine, Yu Xiaogang. We haven't seen each other for over twenty years. I wonder what brings you here to see me today?"
I want to ask you for a favor.
"Oh?" Bibi Dong's expression changed. She knew Yu Xiaogang's personality well; he was a strong-willed person who would never ask her for help unless absolutely necessary.
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong spoke up, "You speak."
Yu Xiaogang then pointed at Yu Tianheng and said, "I believe you know Tian Heng's background. That's right, he is my nephew. To this day, I, Yu Xiaogang, have no wife or children, so Tian Heng is like my own son to me."
"Yesterday, he told me about your attempt to recruit him. However, Tian Heng is the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and will inherit the position of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in the future. It's impossible for him to side with the Spirit Hall again."
"But I also know that, according to the Spirit Hall's style of doing things, the only way to deal with a genius who can't be used by you is to eliminate him. But I hope you can consider my feelings and not make things difficult for him."
I'm begging you!
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong glanced at Yu Tianheng and saw that he had a calm expression and seemed to be fearless.
It seems he really has a close relationship with Qian Renxue, otherwise he wouldn't act this way.
Putting aside the fact that she had already promised Qian Renxue not to touch Yu Tianheng, she couldn't make things difficult for Yu Tianheng even out of respect for Yu Xiaogang.
After all, as Yu Xiaogang said before, Yu Tianheng is his nephew, and Yu Xiaogang currently has no wife or children. Therefore, this nephew is basically no different from a son.
If we really mess with him, we'll likely be locked in a life-or-death struggle with Yu Xiaogang from now on.
Moreover, although Yu Tianheng did not outwardly pledge allegiance to the Spirit Hall, he secretly allied himself with Xue Qinghe, whose true identity was Qian Renxue, a member of the Spirit Hall. In a sense, Yu Tianheng's service to Xue Qinghe Xue Qinghe actually his service to the Spirit Hall.
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong said, "Alright, since you've put it that way, I agree."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you!"
Immediately afterward, Yu Tianheng stepped forward. " Your His Holiness the Pope, I have some things I wish to discuss with you privately, and I hope you will grant me permission!"
"Then I'll wait for you outside." Before Bibi Dong could answer, Yu Xiaogang got up and left the main hall to wait outside.
This behavior made Bibi Dong frown, but she couldn't worry about that for the moment and directly asked Yu Tianheng, "What do you want to say?"
Yu Tianheng took out the Wisdom Condensing Mind Skull and the Rapid Advance Wind Chasing Left Leg Soul Bone: " Your His Holiness the Pope, I know that the three Soul Bone of the Soul Master Tournament champion were originally awarded to the Golden Generation, but things didn't go as planned, and these three Soul Bone ended up in my hands. I imagine the Spirit Hall is quite unhappy about this."
"But due to the rules, there's not much I can do."
"However, I can do you a favor and return two of the three Soul Bone to the Spirit Hall, keeping only one."
"Oh!" Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong was shocked. She never expected that Yu Tianheng would be able to resist the temptation of the Soul Bone and instead return it to the Spirit Hall.
This is Soul Bone, something even Titled Douluo might not possess. Even if Yu Tianheng doesn't use it, he can still take it back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan as a family heirloom, leaving it for those who need it.
"What are your demands?" Bibi Dong asked. She didn't think Yu Tianheng would be so generous as to return the Soul Bone to the Spirit Hall for nothing. There must be a price to pay, but she didn't care. Compared to the Soul Bone, everything else was nothing. Moreover, with the Spirit Hall's resources, they could satisfy any request Yu Tianheng made.
Yu Tian, "I have two requests. If His Holiness the Pope can grant them, I will offer these two Soul Bone with both hands."
Bibi Dong nodded. "Two Soul Bone for two requests, that's fair. Tell me, what do you need?"
"First, as a reward for winning this Soul Master Tournament, the Heaven Dou Empire will grant me the title of Earl and a fiefdom—a city called Suotuo City, located within the Balak Kingdom. However, Suotuo City is not under the jurisdiction of the Heaven Dou Empire, and it will be difficult for me to control it, as I would have to confront the Balak Kingdom directly. But I know that the Spirit Hall has a branch in Suotuo City and branches in various cities throughout the Balak Kingdom. Therefore, I hope the Spirit Hall can lend me a hand and help me control Suotuo City."
The Spirit Hall is the strongest force on the continent, with branch halls scattered throughout various cities.
Suotuo City, as the most prosperous city in the Balak Kingdom, has a third-level Spirit Hall hall configuration, which is rare among the two empires.
People dressed in the Spirit Hall uniforms can be seen patrolling the streets and alleys of the city. The Spirit Hall of Suotuo City also sends personnel to post notices on bulletin boards at various important locations in the city. In addition, the Spirit Hall of Suotuo City is also responsible for the local Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony.
It can be said to hold a pivotal position.
