Chapter 5: Choice
. The next day.
In the Spirit Hall,
Qin Ming once again found Bishop Kelin.
Kelin was conversing with several deacons. Seeing
Qin Ming approach again, he immediately stood up, his expression slightly grim.
"Qin Ming, why are you here today?
The people from Spirit City will be arriving soon. You need to hurry up and practice."
Hearing this, Qin Ming silently grumbled inwardly.
"Is that all you want to improve..."
After rolling his eyes, Qin Ming spoke again.
"Bishop Kelin, I've already achieved a breakthrough."
"That's good,"
Kelin replied casually.
The next second...
"What!
Qin Ming, say that again!"
Kelin, realizing what he was doing, grabbed Qin Ming's arm, his gaze blazing.
"Did you really achieve a breakthrough?"
Facing Kelin's intense gaze, Qin Ming coughed twice, silently withdrawing his arm, and then nodded calmly.
"With Bishop Kelin's help, I've successfully achieved a breakthrough to the Soul Master level."
Hearing Qin Ming's words, Kelin couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha..."
At this moment, the Spirit Hall deacons around him also looked at Qin Ming in surprise.
One of the middle-aged men couldn't help but mutter.
"A 12-year-old Soul Master..."
His expression kept changing, and a wry smile spread across his face.
Several Spirit Hall deacons around him also spoke up.
"When I was 12, I don't think I had yet reached the Grand Soul Master realm."
"Is this genius?"
"If Qin Ming keeps up this momentum, he'll definitely become the youngest Titled Douluo in the history of the continent..."
The Spirit Hall deacons all looked at Qin Ming with envy.
At this moment, a hint of awe unconsciously appeared in their eyes.
"Alright, alright, you guys, stop crowding here.
Qin Ming is a super genius destined to become a Titled Douluo.
Can he be like you?"
Ke Lin waved at the deacons, then looked at Qin Ming again and asked.
"Qin Ming, you came to me this time to ask for my help in hunting for your third soul ring, right?"
Hearing this, Qin Ming bowed slightly and cupped his fists towards Ke Lin.
"I'll have to trouble Bishop Kelin again.
My spirit's characteristics dictate my cultivation path towards fire attributes.
As for my third spirit skill, I'd like to acquire an explosive or sustained burning one.
The more powerful the better..."
Hearing Qin Ming's words, Kelin gave him a new look.
"With a clear understanding of his spirit and future path, Qin Ming's future may be even brighter than I imagined.
It's truly a blessing from the angels that I've met this undiscovered super genius..."
After a moment's reflection, Kelin spoke slowly.
"Qin Ming, the soul skills you want aren't rare.
Ordinary soul beasts like the Fiery Monkey and Blazing Tiger should be able to provide you with explosive soul skills.
These soul beasts can be found in the Soul Hunting Forest near Soto City.
The Burning Heart Flower and the Fire Oil Dog should be able to provide you with burning soul skills.
These soul beasts are a little rarer, but they should also be found in the Soul Hunting Forest.
If you want, I can always arrange for someone to take you to hunt these soul beasts.
However... the effects of these soul skills are relatively ordinary..."
At this point, Ke Lin paused and looked up at Qin Ming.
Seeing this, Qin Ming also understood Ke Lin's thoughts.
After taking a deep breath, Qin Ming bowed and clasped his fists. "Please advise, Your Excellency the Bishop."
Hearing this, Kelin nodded and added,
"In my opinion, the soul beast most suitable for you would be the three-headed red devil dog mentioned in our Spirit Hall's annals.
This soul beast is extremely rare, and its population is located deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, making it difficult to find.
However, this soul beast has a strong compatibility with your Fiery Wolf spirit, and will definitely provide you with the most powerful and appropriate soul skills."
Kelin gritted his teeth, deciding to take a gamble on Qin Ming.
"Qin Ming, you don't have to pay back the 10,000 gold soul coins.
It counts as a personal contribution to you.
Furthermore, I am a Soul King.
I will use my connections to contact several powerful individuals, and together they will lead you deep into the Star Dou Great Forest.
Even if we can't find the three-headed red devil dog population, we will do our best to help you hunt for a high-quality third soul ring."
Kelin's gaze fell on Qin Ming, and a hint of anticipation shone in his eyes.
Noticing his gaze, Qin Ming didn't hesitate and quickly clasped his fists in greeting.
"Qin Ming will remember Bishop Kelin's help and will repay him in the future."
"Okay, okay..."
Kelin laughed, helping Qin Ming to his feet. Then, turning to the deacon beside him, he said,
"Hurry and go to the south of the city to invite Dean Flanders to a meeting.
Tell him that he recently proposed opening an academy, and I
, Kelin, am willing to help." Qin Ming raised an eyebrow at this.
Kelin's choice to invite Flanders and his group had surprised Qin Ming.
But after a moment's reflection, Qin Ming understood Kelin's intention.
"Soto City is an important city in the Barak Kingdom. While it's known as the kingdom's granary
, it's only a medium-sized city within an ordinary kingdom.
Therefore, the Spirit Hall's presence here pales in comparison to that of a larger city like Tiandou City.
As the bishop of this branch hall, Kelin's Soul King cultivation is already impressive.
The other deacons are mostly Soul Venerables.
With such strength, they need to bring along a burden like me, who's still unfamiliar with combat."
Going deep into the Star Dou Great Forest to search for rare soul beasts carries considerable risk.
Flanders and his group are essentially Soul King-level powerhouses.
Flanders has even reached the Soul Emperor level.
With their help, the operation will undoubtedly go more smoothly.
Just as Qin Ming was contemplating this, Kelin interrupted him.
"Qin Ming, don't be impatient. Listen to me."
Hearing this, Qin Ming looked up at Kelin.
Kelin's voice rang out again.
"Flanders and his group arrived in Soto City six months ago. Even the weakest of them possess Soul King-level cultivation.
Flanders and his group planned to establish an academy in Soto City, but have been stuck with paperwork for a long time.
I can help them resolve this issue.
With this information, it shouldn't be difficult to get them to take action."
Qin Ming finally understood.
In the original novel, due to paperwork issues, Flanders was unable to establish Shrek as an official academy recognized by the Empire until over 20 years later, when the story begins.
Flanders and his group are probably still struggling with this issue.
It's understandable that Kelin wanted to use this as an excuse to ask them for help.
Thinking of this, Qin Ming smiled and nodded, then resumed his conversation with Kelin.
Both Qin Ming and Kelin wanted to befriend each other.
Under these circumstances, their relationship grew increasingly lively as the conversation deepened.
Time slipped by.
Half an hour later,
the deacon who had left earlier hurried over and interrupted their conversation.
"Bishop Kelin, Dean Flanders is here."
