Chapter 3: Qingluan Douluo Personally Arrives

On the streets of Tiandou City.

Wu Qi and Wang Fang were strolling as usual.

Today, in front of a stall selling sugar treats, they bumped into a grandfather and granddaughter.

The girl was lively and cute, skipping about as she bought her favorite items, while the old man behind her looked dignified, yet was trying hard to squeeze out a kind smile.

"Big brother, Rongrong has taken a liking to this candy, could you let Rongrong have it?" The little girl blinked her eyes at him.

Wu Qi's soul was not that of a child; he was buying candy to make it easier to get along with other children during his future studies.

Once the people from the Spirit Hall came to pick him up, he would inevitably have to study at the Spirit Hall Academy in the future.

Children, after all, only have so many interests, and candy is enough to keep them occupied.

Hearing the girl's words, Wu Qi was startled.

Rongrong, could it be Ning Rongrong?

The old man behind her, dressed in a long white robe, looked dignified without being angry and possessed an extraordinary temperament; he must be the Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Alright, I'll let you have it." Wu Qi generously handed the candy to her.

"Thank you, big brother, what is your name?" Ning Rongrong asked with a smile.

Before Wu Qi could speak, a large hand patted his shoulder from behind, "Are you that little fellow?"

Wu Qi turned his head; at some point, a young man in a brocade robe had appeared behind him, wearing a badge shaped like an angel on his chest.

On the other side, Chen Xin acted as if facing a great enemy, quickly shielding Ning Rongrong behind him, his gaze looking at this young man with vigilance.

"Uncle, who are you?"

In his heart, Wu Qi felt a strange sense of closeness.

This emotion came from the depths of his martial soul!

The young man did not say much, turning his head to glance at Chen Xin, "Let's go, I am here to pick you up."

Wang Fang hurriedly said, "Little brother Wu, go with him. Don't forget to come back and visit often in the future; big sister will be waiting for you at Wuhun Shengdian."

Wu Qi nodded in agreement.

The young man held his hand and walked toward the outside of the city.

Wang Fang cupped her hands toward Sword Douluo and turned to return to Wuhun Shengdian.

"Sword Grandpa, why did you stop Rongrong?"

Chen Xin breathed a sigh of relief and gently stroked her forehead, "It's nothing, Grandpa will take you to play somewhere else."

……

Outside the city.

The young man stopped, squatted down, and looked at Wu Qi, "Child, what is your martial soul?"

Wu Qi moved his mind, and the Qingluan Spirit appeared behind him.

Confirming there was nothing unusual about the martial soul, he smiled: "My name is Qingluan, and my martial soul is also a Qingluan."

"Uncle, did you name yourself after your martial soul?" Wu Qi asked curiously.

Qingluan Douluo seemed unwilling to mention his real name and changed the subject, "Child, your martial soul and mine are the same; are you willing to take me as your master?"

"I can teach you how to cultivate your martial soul and help you hunt for a Soul Ring."

Wu Qi feigned ignorance, "Uncle, I heard from Sister Wang that I have innate full soul power and can directly obtain a Soul Ring. Is that true?"

Qingluan Douluo nodded with a smile, "By taking me as your master, you can learn many theories that are difficult to know in the outside world. This will be of great help to your future cultivation."

He was not like Yu Xiaogang, who only knew how to bluff and hint. Instead, he openly stated the benefits of becoming his apprentice.

Of course, this was also because Wu Qi's martial soul and talent were impressive enough.

After some communication, Wu Qi bowed to him with a sincere attitude, "Master is above, please accept this bow from your disciple."

"Haha, good. Come, Master will take you to hunt for your first Soul Ring. From now on, you are a true Spirit Master."

After speaking, the two walked toward the distance.

Tiandou City was very close to the Sunset Forest, so soul hunting was a convenient task. After returning, Wu Qi would officially begin his life as a Spirit Master.

……

A powerhouse from the Spirit Hall appearing in Tiandou City was a matter of great importance.

Not knowing if the Spirit Hall had other plans, how could Chen Xin dare to continue strolling in the city with Ning Rongrong?

Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Chen Xin called for Gu Rong and reported the matter to Ning Fengzhi.

"Uncle Sword, do you know the identity of that crown-wearer?" Ning Fengzhi asked urgently.

Chen Xin nodded, "The Third Elder, Qingluan Douluo."

"His strength is above mine; I could not probe his specific power."

Gu Rong asked, "Old Sword, didn't you say he entered the city and took away a child?"

"Since that is the case, what is there to worry about?"

Ning Fengzhi did not think so, "To have a Super Douluo personally intervene, this child's talent must be highly valued by the Spirit Hall."

"Sigh, it's a pity; such a genius, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect didn't discover him."

"In the future, the strength of the Spirit Hall will only grow stronger."

Chen Xin added, "Old Bone, Fengzhi, do not be careless. Perhaps taking the child was just incidental; the true purpose of the Spirit Hall is still unclear."

"Oh, by the way, that child seems to have been discovered by Wuhun Shengdian."

"In this day and age, who still goes to the Shengdian to awaken their martial soul?" Ning Fengzhi was puzzled.

There are many dignitaries and nobles in Tiandou City, and the disciples of their respective families have their martial souls awakened by themselves.

Furthermore, in order to discover talent, these nobles also provide free martial soul awakening for the commoners in the city.

It could be said that it is rare for even one person to go to the Wuhun Shengdian to awaken their martial soul in several years.

Gu Rong analyzed, "I think there are two possibilities. First, this child has a grudge against the nobles who help awaken martial souls and is unwilling to accept their help."

"Second, this child just turned six, and in order to awaken their martial soul as soon as possible, they took the initiative to go to the Wuhun Shengdian."

Analyzing these matters at this moment has no meaning for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The person has already been taken away by the Spirit Hall; could they possibly poach them?

Along the way, Qingluan Douluo taught Wu Qi many basic Spirit Master theories.

Upon entering the Sunset Forest, he smiled and asked, "Xiao Qi, based on what I just said, let me test you."

"In your opinion, how should one choose their first Soul Ring?"

Wu Qi replied, "The quality of the Qingluan Spirit is comparable to a pure-blooded phoenix, and all avian-type martial souls belong to the Agility Attack System, so I will also follow the Agility Attack System path in the future."

"If possible, it is best to absorb a Soul Ring from a Qingluan or a phoenix."

Qingluan and phoenixes are both legendary divine birds; how could they appear in a Soul Beast Forest!

Therefore, for the Soul Ring, one must settle for the next best thing; choosing an avian-type Soul Beast with a rare wind-attribute bloodline is most appropriate.

Qingluan Douluo nodded with satisfaction.

The definition of a genius is not limited to a high level of Innate Soul Power; one must also possess exceptional intelligence.

Someone with strength but no brains is destined not to go far on the path of a Spirit Master.

For a six-year-old child, having just come into contact with Spirit Master theory and already being able to draw inferences is extremely intelligent.

Wu Qi did not yet know the types of Soul Beasts.

This requires a great deal of time to study and consult materials to master; it cannot be explained in a sentence or two.

Qingluan Douluo asked another question: "The number of avian-type Soul Beasts in the Sunset Forest is not large; if there is nothing particularly suitable, would you settle for the next best thing?"

Wu Qi said earnestly, "Better to have nothing than to accept something inferior. The first Soul Ring is the starting point for a Spirit Master and relates to the Spirit Master's future strength."

"Therefore, I would rather wait for a better Soul Ring than make do with a poor substitute."

Hearing this, Qingluan Douluo was quite satisfied with him.

To be neither arrogant nor impetuous is truly rare and commendable in a six-year-old child.

"Let's go; if there is nothing suitable, I will entrust someone to help you search for one."
