The Spirit Hall originally held a very large advantage in high-level soul masters.
If they also had an army of several hundred thousand soul masters between levels 10 and 20, launching a war would definitely allow them to crush the two great empires like dry weeds and rotten wood.
However, when dealing with the Heaven Dou Empire, it was better not to start a war if possible.
After all, Qian Renxue's plan had been in progress for many years and had already made significant progress. If they used forceful means to seize it directly, they would only be left with a complete mess in the end, and Qian Renxue's previous hard work infiltrating would have been in vain.
The Spirit Hall had already regarded the entire Heaven Dou Empire as something within their grasp, so how could they bear to let the Heaven Dou Empire suffer damage?
The safest method was to wait a few more years until the Spirit Hall's army had grown. By then, no matter what method they used, the Spirit Hall would have sufficient confidence.
...
At night, in Old Jack's room.
Old Jack sat by the bed, while Jiang Chen sat on a small wooden stool in front of the bed.
"Grandpa, are you really unwilling to go to Spirit City?" Jiang Chen asked.
Old Jack shook his head and said, "I'm old. My roots are in Holy Soul Village; I'm not going anywhere. Let the rest of my life contribute a little more to Holy Soul Village."
"Grandpa really can't bear to let you go. You just came back and stayed for only one day, and now you have to leave again."
Jiang Chen said, "Grandpa, don't worry. I won't be that busy in the future and will come back to see you often."
If it were just him alone, returning from Heaven Dou City would be much faster than riding a horse; perhaps it would only take three or four days to get back to Holy Soul Village.
If he remembered correctly, after Tang San left Nuoding City, he never returned to Holy Soul Village even once during the more than ten years until he finally became a god.
If Tang San didn't come back, Tang Hao probably wouldn't come back either. If he returned alone, he wouldn't have to worry about running into Tang Hao.
Old Jack patted Jiang Chen's shoulder and said earnestly, "Hurry up and settle that Pope's daughter. Grandpa hopes that the next time you return, you'll be bringing back my great-grandson."
Grandpa, this request of yours is a bit difficult… Jiang Chen patted his chest and promised, "Grandpa, rest assured. Xue'er will be mine sooner or later."
Old Jack stroked his beard, his face full of relief. "Our Holy Soul Village is really going to rise to prominence."
Then the grandfather and grandson chatted for a while longer before Jiang Chen bid farewell and left the room.
The guards had been arranged by him to stay in the small courtyard where he used to live alone; there were several rooms there.
The Ninth Elder stayed in the carriage to rest.
Jiang Chen left Grandpa's room and then entered his own room.
The two girls had already washed their bodies and were both sitting cross-legged on his bed cultivating.
"What do you want to do?" Qian Renxue's sharp gaze shot over like two sharp swords, carrying a powerful pressure.
Jiang Chen acted as if he didn't notice at all and chuckled, "Nothing much, just checking if you need any special service."
"Not needed." Qian Renxue refused without the slightest hesitation. Seeing Jiang Chen's smile, she knew nothing good would come of it and decisively rejected him.
"We're going to cultivate. Please get out!"
This is my room, though… Jiang Chen was driven out. He wandered around the courtyard for a bit and then climbed onto the roof to swallow and spit out moonlight.
He felt that he was not far from level 45 and should be able to break through before returning to Heaven Dou City.
...
In the early morning, after eating breakfast, Jiang Chen and his group continued their journey.
At the entrance of Holy Soul Village, Old Jack reluctantly bid farewell to Jiang Chen.
The villagers brought many things: melons and fruits, eggs, and even a few hens.
Jiang Chen had the guards accept them all. After all, this was the villagers' sincere feelings.
He had never expected that one day he would be so beloved by the villagers.
After leaving Holy Soul Village, the group headed east all the way, maintaining the fastest speed toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
Four days later, they arrived at a small town on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
This was the last stop before entering the Star Dou Great Forest.
There were very few ordinary people in the small town; at a glance, almost all were soul masters.
The soul masters who came here were basically preparing to enter the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Star Dou Great Forest was the largest soul beast habitat on the Douluo Continent. Basically, no matter what type of soul master, as long as they spent time searching, they could find a suitable soul beast for themselves inside the Star Dou Great Forest.
Although the hunting forests around the major cities belonged to the Heaven Dou Empire, they required a token from the Spirit Hall to enter, which restricted many people.
Moreover, the number and variety of soul beasts in the hunting forests were relatively small, and their cultivation years were low, so the Star Dou Great Forest had become the most popular place for soul masters on the Douluo Continent.
Every day, countless soul masters entered the Star Dou Great Forest. For example, even though it was already evening, many temporary adventure teams were still calling out, inviting soul masters to join them and enter the Star Dou Great Forest together tomorrow.
Shops lined the streets, selling all kinds of items that soul masters needed, and there were even quite a few soul tools, though they were all relatively low-level.
After Jiang Chen and the others entered the small town, they did not linger and went straight to the huge mansion belonging to the Spirit Hall.
Jiang Chen had come here before when he hunted his third soul ring.
At that time, he had come with his teacher Bibi Dong and senior sister Hu Liena.
The mansion was cleaned year-round by maids. As soon as Jiang Chen and the others arrived, they received enthusiastic hospitality.
The mansion occupied a large area and even had a training field about a hundred meters in diameter. Jiang Chen had just put down his things when Qian Renxue dragged him over there.
Women were vengeful creatures. Qian Renxue clearly remembered all the teasing Jiang Chen had done to her along the way.
She had also remembered all the nonsense Old Jack had said and pinned it on Jiang Chen's head.
Xiao Ying followed along gloating, thinking that Jiang Chen was about to be beaten up badly by Qian Renxue. She almost clapped her hands in delight.
The other guards had originally wanted to go out and relax and have some fun, but seeing this situation, they immediately followed behind with smirks on their faces.
The fight between the granddaughter of the Grand Worshipper and the Holy Son was a rare sight.
They knew that Qian Renxue's martial soul was the Angel martial soul with powerful attack power, but they still didn't know what Jiang Chen's martial soul was.
Within the Spirit Hall, only a small number of people had seen Jiang Chen's martial soul.
Including the Ninth Elder, everyone was very curious.
Since he could become the Holy Son, his martial soul must also be extremely powerful.
Xiao Ying secretly clenched her fists, her pretty face excited.
Jiang Chen had bullied her many times; today, retribution had finally come.
Miss would definitely avenge her.
Was there any suspense in a level 60 against a level 44? It was definitely going to be a trampling. Thinking about it, Xiao Ying almost laughed out loud.
Jiang Chen allowed Qian Renxue to drag him along without any resistance.
He was secretly excited in his heart. He finally had the chance to fight Qian Renxue.
He had been looking forward to this day for far too long.
When he was six years old, he had been chased and beaten by Qian Renxue. At that time, he had sworn that one day he would press Qian Renxue down and beat her.
That day had finally arrived.
Looking at the alluring figure in front of him, Jiang Chen felt excited in his heart.
"Usually, you won't even let me touch you once. This time, let's see where you can run…"
The simplest and crudest way to conquer a proud woman was to be stronger than her.
No matter how proud and stubborn a woman was, in the end, she would still cry out softly.
The group poured in and arrived at the training field.
Qian Renxue and Jiang Chen stood in the very center.
"Miss, go for it! Beat him into a pig's head!" Xiao Ying waved her fists.
The dozen or so guards started betting. The loser would pay for the girls' money later.
Half bet on Qian Renxue winning and half on Jiang Chen winning.
Jiang Chen had never shown his hand in front of them, and he looked about twenty years old. They thought that since he could become the Holy Son, his cultivation at this age should not be inferior to Qian Renxue's.
Those who bet on Jiang Chen felt that they wouldn't lose out.
