Chapter 17: Conversation

The Qingluan Douluo put down the two water snakes in his hands and washed them in the river.

"Little Heng, the Spirit Beast has been subdued, it is time for us to return to the Offering Hall!" the Qingluan Douluo said to Zhou Heng with a smile.

"Understood, Third Master."

Zhou Heng waved his hand, manipulating his Battle Instrument Martial Soul to retract the Dream Water Fish back into the Battle Instrument Martial Soul.

Afterwards, the Qingluan Douluo grabbed Zhou Heng's shoulder again, his soul power vibrating as he shot straight into the clouds, flying toward the direction of the Offering Hall.

This time, the Qingluan Douluo did not care about the consumption, flying at full speed like a cyan meteor, piercing through the clouds in the sky and heading straight toward the Offering Hall.

Not long after, Zhou Heng was brought back to the Offering Hall by the Qingluan Douluo.

Qian Daoliu and the others saw the Qingluan Douluo, who had left not long ago, return to the Offering Hall so quickly, and smiles appeared on all their faces.

"Old Third, how is the Spirit Beast Little Heng subdued? Is it strong?" the Second Consecrator, Golden Crocodile Douluo, asked the Qingluan Douluo with a loud laugh.

The Qingluan Douluo laughed heartily: "Hahaha, Second Brother, the quality of the Spirit Beast Little Heng subdued this time is quite good; it will be able to reach at least fifty thousand years of cultivation later on.

You can observe it for yourselves later."

The Lion Douluo walked forward, came to Zhou Heng's side, and patted Zhou Heng on the shoulder: "Little Heng, release the Spirit Beast you subdued, let us take a look and give you some advice on the Spirit Beast's growth path."

Zhou Heng nodded and said: "That is perfect, I also wanted to ask my masters to help me look at the cultivation direction for this Dream Water Fish of mine."

As Zhou Heng spoke, his Battle Instrument Martial Soul appeared on his right hand, a pinkish-white light shot out, and the Dream Water Fish landed directly into a pool within the Offering Hall.

This pool was built inside the Offering Hall for raising ornamental fish, and it contained many brightly colored and exquisitely shaped ornamental fish.

Furthermore, there were also a few fish in this pool that had become Spirit Beasts; Zhou Heng had observed them before, and the Spirit Beast fish in the pool were all close to a thousand years of cultivation.

After the Dream Water Fish entered the pool, three fish that had become Spirit Beasts leaped out of the water and lunged at the Dream Water Fish.

Seeing these three fish attacking him, the Dream Water Fish emitted a fluctuation of mental power; the three fish, which had been lunging at him, showed a hint of incoordination and twisted their bodies violently on the water surface, trying to break free from the Dream Water Fish's hypnosis.

However, the cultivation of these three fish was simply no match for the Dream Water Fish. After struggling for a few breaths, the three fish stopped struggling and just swam freely around the Dream Water Fish on the water surface.

Seeing the Dream Water Fish easily hypnotize three fish that had become Spirit Beasts, the Lion Douluo could not help but become interested and walked closer to the pool to observe the Dream Water Fish.

The Guangling Douluo was also somewhat interested in the Dream Water Fish, though not because of the Dream Water Fish's potential, but because of its stunning appearance.

The Guangling Douluo stood by the pool, reaching out to tease the Dream Water Fish, and even took out some meat paste from his own Storage Soul Guidance Device.

He fed it to the Dream Water Fish; this meat paste was obtained from the corpses of some Spirit Beasts that the Guangling Douluo had killed, and it contained quite a bit of energy.

The Dream Water Fish was also attracted by the Spirit Beast meat paste in the Guangling Douluo's hand, following the Guangling Douluo's teasing and chasing after the meat paste in his hand, continuously devouring it.

The other Consecrators walked toward the pool together to observe the Dream Water Fish that Zhou Heng had newly subdued, teasing the Dream Water Fish and playing with it from time to time.

After a while, the Seven Consecrators turned back and asked Zhou Heng to retract the Dream Water Fish.

After Zhou Heng retracted the Dream Water Fish, the Guangling Douluo spoke first: "The potential of this Dream Water Fish is quite good; with only two thousand seven hundred years of cultivation, it already has two mental abilities, and its control over the Water Element is also decent.

If you cultivate it well later, you will definitely be able to make the Dream Water Fish a Spirit Beast of over fifty thousand years."

The Lion Douluo followed up by saying: "I think so too. It easily hypnotized three Spirit Beast fish with nearly a thousand years of cultivation; this ability is even stronger than mine.

In the future, this Dream Water Fish can develop toward being a mental-attribute Spirit Beast; its potential is definitely very strong."

Qian Daoliu watched with a smile as Zhou Heng retracted the Dream Water Fish, his heart filled with deep emotion regarding Zhou Heng's potential. If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Heng had joined the Spirit Hall, he would definitely have taken the Angel Holy Sword and rushed to his home to hack him to death with one sword before he could grow up.

However, looking at Zhou Heng standing in front of these old brothers of his, accepting their guidance, a smile could not help but appear on Qian Daoliu's face.

Having such a disciple is truly wonderful!

"Little Heng, go back and get some good rest. Tomorrow morning, I will have someone send you to the Spirit Hall Academy to attend school." Qian Daoliu spoke, causing the other Consecrators to stop talking.

A trace of worry flashed in Zhou Heng's eyes. In the seven months of training before, although Zhou Heng spent most of his time training,

Zhou Heng still had some time to rest, and during his rest, he was also gathering information.

According to the information Zhou Heng had gathered himself, the reason he was being sent to the Spirit Hall Academy to attend school was because, after he subdued the Profound Thunder Purple Bamboo, the commotion caused when the Qingluan Douluo flew him back to the Offering Hall had reached Bibi Dong's ears.

Zhou Heng was still very afraid of Bibi Dong. He had taken the Seven Consecrators as his masters; if Bibi Dong found an opportunity, would she target him and cripple him?

Watching the changing expressions on Zhou Heng's face, Qian Daoliu naturally understood Zhou Heng's thoughts and said: "Do not worry, I have arranged for ten Soul Saints and three Spirit Douluos to protect you in secret. In Wuhun City, no one can pose a danger to you."

Hearing this, Zhou Heng looked at Qian Daoliu, who was sitting in the seat of honor, in disbelief.

With so many High-level Soul Masters protecting him in secret, what was there to be afraid of?

"Thank you for your concern, Teacher. This disciple will definitely study hard." Zhou Heng bowed respectfully to Qian Daoliu and said.

Afterwards, he spoke again: "This disciple will return now!"

"Mm, go down and rest," Qian Daoliu replied casually.

Zhou Heng turned back to his room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to cultivate.

On the other side, in the Offering Hall, after seeing Zhou Heng leave, the Lion Douluo spoke directly to Qian Daoliu: "Big Brother, are you really going to send Little Heng to the Spirit Hall Academy to attend school?

I always thought you were just putting off that woman Bibi Dong and didn't intend to let Little Heng go to the Spirit Hall Academy."

Qian Daoliu shook his head, looked at the puzzled expressions of the other old brothers, and explained: "The reason I am sending Little Heng to the Spirit Hall Academy to attend school is that there are peers in the Spirit Hall Academy, which will allow Little Heng to make friends and relieve the pressure generated during cultivation, which is more beneficial to Little Heng's cultivation.

As for Bibi Dong, with us here, she is not worth worrying about. Her actions can even motivate Little Heng's growth; as long as she doesn't go too far, we should not make a move first."

After hearing Qian Daoliu's explanation, the other Consecrators all lowered their heads in thought.

After a while, the Qingluan Douluo raised his head and said: "What if Bibi Dong doesn't intend to win Little Heng over, but wants to destroy him?"

Qian Daoliu shook his head and said: "That won't happen. I have already had people spread some news about Little Heng. With Little Heng's talent, Bibi Dong will never give up on winning Little Heng over.

Unless there are spies from other factions among the subordinates, Little Heng will not be in any life-threatening danger."

The other Consecrators looked at each other, all nodded, and said nothing more, agreeing with Qian Daoliu's decision.
