This was not an exaggeration at all.
Because Qian Renxue was very clear on one thing.
Spirit Hall did not lack Super Douluos; what it lacked was a supreme powerhouse capable of suppressing an entire era.
If Yang Yuan truly possessed Innate Level 20 spirit power, then looking across the entire continent, she was likely the only one who could rival him in terms of talent.
Innate Level 20—it wouldn't be an overstatement to say he possessed the bearing of a god.
Therefore, Qian Renxue held Yang Yuan in high regard.
She spoke in a soft, gentle voice, "Little Brother Yang, have you considered joining a certain power?"
Yang Yuan was still young, making this the absolute best opportunity for recruitment; naturally, Qian Renxue would not miss it.
To the side, Snake Lance Douluo also cast his gaze toward Yang Yuan, waiting for his response.
Seeing Qian Renxue be so direct, Yang Yuan was slightly taken aback.
Then, under the gaze of the two, Yang Yuan said in a lighthearted tone:
"I'm not opposed to joining a power, but once I join one at this age, I certainly won't be as free and unconstrained as I am now."
Although they didn't hear exactly what they wanted, Qian Renxue and Snake Lance Douluo still felt a slight sense of relief.
From Yang Yuan's tone and attitude, it was clear there was still plenty of room for maneuver.
That was already enough.
Because a peerless Prodigy like Yang Yuan must never be coerced.
Otherwise, even if he chose to submit under threat, he would very likely harbor hidden motives.
Over time, he would inevitably become a disaster!
The three chatted as they walked. Qian Renxue smiled and tested the waters, "Little Brother Yang, if you were to choose, which power would you favor more?"
"Speaking of that, I've read a few books at the academy and know some common knowledge."
"The powers on our continent are nothing more than the Upper Three Sects, the Lower Four Sects, the royal families of the two Great Empires, plus Spirit Hall."
"The strongest in the Lower Four Sects is only a Spirit Douluo, so I won't consider them."
"Among the Upper Three Sects, the Clear Sky Sect has gone into seclusion, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is arrogant; besides, those two great Sects aren't friendly to Spirit Masters who aren't direct descendants, so I don't like them either."
"As for the remaining four, I feel they're all okay. However, Spirit Hall helped me with my Spirit Awakening, so they've shown me kindness."
"If I had to pick one, then I would perhaps choose Spirit Hall."
In front of Qian Renxue and Snake Lance Douluo, Yang Yuan naturally had to proactively show his goodwill toward Spirit Hall.
This was a necessary piece of political correctness.
Of course, he himself also harbored some good feelings toward Spirit Hall.
If it weren't for wanting to keep a respectful distance from a lunatic like Bibi Dong, he might actually join Spirit Hall.
Seeing that Yang Yuan was more inclined toward Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue and Snake Lance Douluo were instantly overjoyed.
Snake Lance Douluo said in a deep voice, "In that case, why don't you join Spirit Hall?"
Yang Yuan feigned confusion, "Are you two from Spirit Hall?"
Qian Renxue signaled with her eyes, stopping Snake Lance Douluo from continuing, and asked back with a smile.
"Guess?"
Yang Yuan shrugged with an indifferent expression.
"If you don't tell me, how would I know which power you belong to?"
"But initially, I did guess that you, Sister Qianxun, might be some princess of the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family."
"After all, the surname Xue in the Heaven Dou Empire is more or less related to the imperial family."
"And the noble air you exude is the richest among everyone I've ever seen."
After hearing Yang Yuan's analysis, Qian Renxue did not deny it; instead, she reached out and patted Yang Yuan's head.
"Little Brother Yang really is clever!"
She wasn't like Snake Lance Douluo, who grew anxious to recruit Yang Yuan into Spirit Hall the moment he saw a hint of goodwill.
Because she knew very well.
If Yang Yuan wanted to join Spirit Hall, he would have joined long ago.
A forced melon isn't sweet; Qian Renxue didn't want to ruin Yang Yuan's slight goodwill toward Spirit Hall because of impatience.
Moreover, precisely because she was clear on Yang Yuan's talent, Qian Renxue actually didn't want Yang Yuan to join Spirit Hall immediately.
Because with Yang Yuan's talent...
If he joined Spirit Hall, he would inevitably be noticed by that woman, who might even take him as a Disciple.
And at the thought of Yang Yuan potentially becoming that woman's Disciple, Qian Renxue felt a wave of irritation.
It was clearly a Genius she had discovered; why should he be sent to that woman?
So, a sudden thought occurred to Qian Renxue.
Why let Yang Yuan join Spirit Hall?
Wouldn't it be the same if he directly became her person?
With this thought, Qian Renxue no longer obsessed over having Yang Yuan join Spirit Hall. Instead, she smiled and said to him:
"Little Brother Yang, I heard you mention your academy earlier. I wonder which institution it is?"
"Nuoding Academy. Sister Qianxun probably hasn't heard of it."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly and noted the name.
Then she smiled again, "With your talent, why not join a better academy?"
"There weren't any particularly good academies near us anyway, and our village just happened to have a work-study student quota for Nuoding Academy."
"Since that's the case, what does it matter where I go to study?"
Hearing this, a sharp light flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes.
"In that case, how about I recommend an academy to Little Brother Yang?"
"After all, the environment of ordinary small academies is indeed a bit poor—no resources and no famous teachers. I really don't wish to see your talent buried like this."
"Oh? I wonder which academy Sister Qianxun wants to recommend to me?"
In fact, Yang Yuan could also guess.
There were only two academies that Qian Renxue could recommend.
One was the Spirit Hall Academy, and the other was Heaven Dou Academy.
Of course, Yang Yuan guessed the probability of Heaven Dou Academy was higher.
After all, Spirit Hall Academy was Bibi Dong's territory; Qian Renxue's reach was limited there, and her influence was almost negligible.
But Heaven Dou Academy was her territory.
To be precise, it was the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire's Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe.
Sure enough, as soon as Yang Yuan finished speaking, he heard Qian Renxue smile and say, "Little Brother Yang, what do you think of Heaven Dou Academy?"
"Heaven Dou Academy!"
"Sister Qianxun, your identity really is related to the imperial family."
Qian Renxue didn't answer the question, but smiled and said, "Well? Do you want to enter Heaven Dou Academy?"
Yang Yuan grinned, "I couldn't ask for more!"
With things having reached this point, there was no way he could refuse.
Yang Yuan was very clear.
Before fully trusting him, Qian Renxue could not allow a Genius like him to remain outside.
He had anticipated this situation from the moment he met Qian Renxue and Snake Lance Douluo.
However, going to Heaven Dou Academy didn't matter; he could also take the opportunity to plan for the Immortal Herbs.
Seeing Yang Yuan agree so readily, a look of satisfaction appeared on Qian Renxue's face.
As long as Yang Yuan joined Heaven Dou Academy under her recommendation, he would count as half one of her own.
"Little Brother Yang, let's go. I'll take you to obtain a spirit ring first!"
"By the way, what is your Spirit, and what kind of Spirit Beast do you plan to hunt for your first spirit ring? Have you done your homework on these in advance?"
