"Father, I will surely contribute to the great cause of the Spirit Hall."
Qian Renchuan's expression was intense, always ready to strike down any forces obstructing the Spirit Hall from unifying the continent.
"Mm."
Qian Xunfeng nodded in approval. Not long after, news came that Qian Renxuan, Qian Renxue, as well as Tian Yue and Dugu Qiubai, had also arrived.
Yan and Xieyue were still on their way, having been training frantically in recent days, driven by revenge.
As for Hulina, after being isolated by Yan and Xieyue, over these years she had become a complete simp for them.
However, Yan wasn't interested. The girls chasing him could line up from Spirit Hall all the way to the gates of Spirit City—he wouldn't give up a forest just for one flower.
Moreover, he had already experienced being the center of attention; he could never go back. Every time he recalled Hulina simping over him, he thought of his own hard past.
Outside the Spirit Hall, Hulina watched Yan and Xieyue entering, speaking in a coquettish tone:"Yan, and brother, do your best. I believe you will gain the recognition of His Holiness the Pope."
At this point, Hulina hadn't received any preferential treatment from the Spirit Hall, barely reaching Level 49. Meanwhile, Yan was already a Level 60 Soul Emperor without a Soul Ring, and Xieyue a Level 62 Soul Emperor.
"This time His Holiness asked me to rise, and I heard he prepared a special Soul Spirit. I don't know what it is yet."
Yan, previously criticized by Qian Xunfeng for his appearance, had undergone a makeover. Now his hair was styled, his physique perfect, and his clothing no longer gaudy. This transformation made him attractive to the girls of Spirit City.
"Yan, your Spirit Beast is unique. I believe the Soul Ring His Holiness prepared for you will perfectly match your Spirit Beast—it might even be the Flame Lord Soul Ring."
Xieyue smiled lightly. Although he was two levels higher than Yan, in a fight it wasn't certain who would win. Yan's Flame Lord Spirit Beast, an ancient beast, was stronger than many top-tier Spirit Beasts.
"Let's hope… the Flame Lord, as a Soul Beast, hasn't been extinct for tens of thousands of years. Otherwise, no one would have ever seen it now."
Yan hoped that the sixth Soul Ring really was the Flame Lord, which would further improve his mastery over his Spirit Beast.
But as an ancient Soul Beast, it might have long been extinct.
"Let's go meet His Holiness first. Even if it's not the Flame Lord, it will surely be an extremely rare Soul Beast."
After speaking, Xieyue prepared to enter with Yan, only to notice the tagalong Hulina behind them, head down, wanting to say something but afraid.
As Hulina's brother, Xieyue naturally knew what she was thinking.
But past grudges couldn't be completely set aside, and since Hulina hadn't done anything wrong this time, he couldn't completely isolate her either.
He sighed helplessly:"Sister, train well this month. The Tiandou Royal Battle Team is short of members. If you break through to Soul King, you might even get a chance to compete."
"Mm, understood, brother. I'll work hard."
Hulina nodded earnestly, her previous disappointment completely gone.
"Good. We'll mention it to His Holiness. I believe your talent is excellent; with effort, you will succeed."
"Alright, I'll go train now."
With that, Hulina happily left the Pope's Hall.
"Ah… I hope this time you won't go astray."
Xieyue watched her leave, sighing.
If only they could see the current Tang San. With a shrunken Zhao Wuji, Hulina was extremely appearance-oriented.
If she liked him… that would be blind.
"Let's go. It's best for her to be safe and steady this life, otherwise I'll have to intervene."
Yan said casually.
The two exchanged a glance, nodded, and entered the Pope's Hall, discovering they were the last to arrive.
"Apologies, Your Holiness, Yan and I are late."
"No matter, let Yan absorb the Soul Ring first."
Qian Xunfeng didn't care. Two cultivation fanatics were late due to training; he wouldn't blame them.
And he hadn't set a strict time either.
"Absorb a Soul Ring?"
Yan looked around, bewildered. Between the Pope's Hall and the Offering Hall stood a tall tower.
Seeing that Yan and Xieyue didn't yet know about the Soul Transmission Tower, Qian Renchuan stepped forward to explain:
"Yan, Xieyue, you don't know yet. This is a new device Father set up to supply future Spirit Hall cultivators with Soul Rings for training."
After explaining the Soul Transmission Tower, Yan and Xieyue understood, excited—their future Soul Rings could all be a hundred thousand years old.
"Then I'll go first."
Led to the Soul Transmission Tower, Yan was excited and immediately entered.
When the Tower activated, Yan's consciousness entered a scorching space.
"Young one, are you the one with the Flame Lord Spirit Beast?"
In front of him lay dozens of Flame Lord Soul Spirits, the strongest already 190,000 years old.
"You're the Flame Lord!"
Yan froze. The Flame Lord wasn't supposed to live in groups; how were they all together? Weren't they supposed to fight to the death?
"Of course. Our tribe has fewer than a hundred. Without unity, we'd have been wiped out by other Soul Beasts or humans long ago."
The lead 190,000-year Flame Lord glanced at him with disdain.
"Fine. I see your body can only bear an 80,000-year Soul Ring. Let Xiao Yanzi be your first Soul Spirit."
He pushed forward a small rock-like creature covered in molten lava.
"Thank you, Senior."
Yan was overjoyed to really obtain a Flame Lord Soul Ring—he had struck gold.
"When you become a god, remember to let Xiao Yanzi return."
Making Xiao Yanzi a Soul Spirit was partly because this red-haired young man had impressed the elder.
To produce god-level talent, their tribe would also have god-beasts to expand the species.
"Don't worry, Senior."
Although Yan didn't know if this Flame Lord believed he would become a god, he still promised.
Then, after confirmation from the 190,000-year Flame Lord, Xiao Yanzi sacrificed itself. A black ten-thousand-year Soul Ring wrapped around Yan.
"Wildfire Domain!"
The domain expanded. The moment the Soul Ring merged into Yan, deep red flames erupted, his arms instantly covered with armor resembling a face.
"So strong!"
Clenching his powerful hands, Yan was brimming with confidence, wishing he could punch Tang San into mush on the spot.
"From now on, every ten-level breakthrough, absorb a Soul Ring. For your future Soul Rings, we, the Flame Lords, will provide. If you truly succeed, I can be your ninth Soul Ring."
Yan's face flushed with unprecedented joy. Three 100,000-year Flame Lords as his subsequent Soul Rings—he had truly struck gold.
He then exited the Soul Spirit realm, still exhilarated, unable to hide the grin on his face.
