A moment later.
"I concede!"
Gu Yue and the other's soul power was exhausted, and they could no longer teleport, so they could only raise their hands to concede.
Seeing this, Jiang Yi flipped and landed, and the demon wolf also turned into a streak of blood light and merged back into his body.
"Was that your soul spirit just now?"
Wu Changkong looked at Jiang Yi who had walked back, his eyes flickering slightly.
That thousand-year-old soul spirit was probably almost as strong as a real thousand-year-old soul beast.
Otherwise, Gu Yue and the other wouldn't have been beaten so badly, only able to teleport and dodge, and finally exhausted their soul power and lost the competition.
"Yes!"
Jiang Yi nodded.
This Greedy Wolf Spirit was a system reward he received when he became the Abyss Saint King's adoptive father.
It was named Greedy Wolf and could evolve infinitely by devouring soul spirits without any bottlenecks, as long as Jiang Yi could withstand it.
This was just a sparring match on the arena. If it were on the battlefield, the power of the Fangtian Halberd would be even more terrifying.
"Okay! You guys take a rest first!"
Wu Changkong didn't delve any deeper, but instead let the group recuperate.
Everyone has their own opportunities; he only needed to know that his student was strong, and that was enough.
"Damn! Jiang Yi, your soul spirit is too awesome!"
Xie Xie immediately put his arm around Jiang Yi's shoulder, his face full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
He suspected he couldn't even beat that wolf!
Unfortunately, his soul spirit was a special metal soul spirit, completely fused with his martial soul, leaving him no opportunity to show off.
Tang Wuling sat quietly to the side, her beautiful eyes blinking slightly, her gaze towards Jiang Yi filled with admiration.
Her soul power was the lowest, her martial soul the worst, and her soul spirit was only ten years old; besides her immense strength, she was useless.
Perhaps, I should try what Old Tang said...?
On the other side, Gu Yue leaned against a tree alone, her purple eyes flashing slightly, looking at the radiant Jiang Yi, a thought involuntarily welling up in her mind.
If only this child were a descendant of my dragon clan…
But the thought had barely formed in her mind when she shook her head violently, a barely perceptible blush rising on her fair cheeks, feeling utterly ashamed of her thoughts.
Gu Yue, Gu Yue… what nonsense are you thinking!
A few minutes later.
Seeing that the others' breathing was gradually calming down, Wu Changkong immediately began to review the battle with the four of them.
"You all did quite well just now! But there were still some problems!"
"First of all, Gu Yue! When Xie Xie was being chased by Jiang Yi, why didn't you use your spatial ability to teleport him? And Xie Xie, you..."
The four of them sat together, being criticized by Wu Changkong one by one, yet his criticisms were all reasonable and well-founded, leaving them unable to refute him.
The special training continued until very late before they finally dispersed.
...
For the next period of time, the four of them attended classes normally during the day and trained with Wu Changkong at night, and time quietly passed.
A month later.
Donghai Academy, at the school gate.
The students were like birds released from their cages, breathing in the free air outside the school.
Although the academy didn't usually restrict their free time, it felt different now that it was the weekend.
"Jiang Yi, do you want to come to my house for a couple of days?"
Xie Xie waved to Jiang Yi. Compared to the girls, the two boys were closer.
"Next time! I have something to do, I have to go home first, my sister is waiting for me at home!"
Jiang Yi politely declined.
There's a business gala in Donghai City tonight, and he needs to go with Leng Yulai to make an appearance.
To solidify this fake identity, showing his face is essential.
"Alright then! See you next week!"
Xie Xie shrugged, no longer insisting, turned and got into his car, disappearing at the end of the street.
Donghai Academy requires students to live on campus to create a good learning environment, and Xie Xie couldn't wait to go home and rest.
This month of special training had exhausted him.
Beep! Beep beep!
Just then, a flamboyant, non-mainstream sports car with black graffiti roared up, drifted sideways, and stopped precisely in front of Jiang Yi, honking its horn deafeningly.
"Get in!"
The window rolled down, and a little girl with pigtails sat inside, patting the door. It was Na Nali, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
Jiang Yi glanced at Na Nali, opened the door, and got in.
"Why are you back?"
Jiang Yi asked Na Nali from the back seat.
He finally understood: Na Nali ali had come with him on this mission purely to slack off.
To say she was only half-hearted was an understatement!
However, among the Holy Spirit Cult's top echelons—the Emperor, the Two Kings, and the Four Heavenly Kings—few were truly dedicated.
"I didn't go out to play!"
Na Nali rolled her eyes and loudly protested.
This time, she was escorting a group of researchers to a secret base for the Holy Spirit Cult from an unnamed ally.
This is official business!
She's only been out and about for about twenty days.
"Alright!"
Jiang Yi nodded, not asking any further questions. Besides, Na Nali wasn't his subordinate.
"Let's go! Little Phoenix is waiting for us over there."
Na Nali stepped on the gas, and the sports car roared off.
However, looking at Na Nali in the driver's seat, Jiang Yi suddenly thought of a question and couldn't help but ask,
"Do you have a driver's license? You're driving?"
Na Nali 's official status, like his, was that of a minor!
Na Nali glanced at Jiang Yi and shook her head matter-of-factly.
"Of course not!"
Jiang Yi: ...
I'm so worried!
If we're unlucky and get caught on the street, we'll probably both end up in jail.
(Friendly reminder: Obeying traffic rules is everyone's responsibility.)
...
On the other side, at the East Sea Spirit Pagoda.
"This way, Miss Gu Yue, that lord has been waiting for you for a long time."
The tower master of the East Sea Spirit Pagoda led the way, speaking to Gu Yue who was following behind.
Some time ago, he discovered this peerless genius who had just joined the Spirit Pagoda and immediately reported it to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters.
Unexpectedly, a high-ranking figure took a liking to him and came specifically today.
"Hmm!"
Gu Yue nodded slightly, following the Tower Master through corridor after corridor, finally arriving at an elegant living room.
At this moment, a red-haired woman was already seated on the sofa in the living room.
The red-haired woman had a beautiful face and looked very young, only in her early twenties, but her every move revealed a hint of mature charm.
"Your Majesty, Miss Gu Yue has arrived!"
The Tower Master of the East Sea Spirit Pagoda humbly reported to the red-haired woman.
"Hmm!"
The red-haired woman raised her head, her gaze falling on Gu Yue, scrutinizing her for a moment, her eyes showing increasing satisfaction.
"Would you be willing to become my disciple?" the red-haired woman asked Gu Yue directly, without any hesitation; she had come today specifically for this purpose.
Since her younger sister's passing, she had been heartbroken and lost all interest in matters of love, remaining childless to this day.
With no outstanding descendants in the family over the years, she saw Gu Yue's information and decided to take her as a disciple.
Meeting her today, Gu Yue indeed met her expectations.
"Ahem! Gu Yue… this is the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo from headquarters, not only a four-word Douluo, but also only one step away from becoming a Limit Douluo."
The East Sea Tower Master reminded Gu Yue from the side, afraid she would miss this opportunity.
He would also have the credit for recommending her if she successfully became a disciple.
The East Sea Spirit Pagoda was good, but the air at headquarters was still sweeter!
"Disciple is willing!"
Gu Yue cupped her hands, bowing solemnly to Leng Yaozhu.
"Good! From now on, you are my disciple, Leng Yaozhu's disciple."
Leng Yaozhu smiled sweetly, her gaze towards Gu Yue filled with affection.
"Teacher!"
Gu Yue's face also smiled, but her deep purple eyes held a different kind of charm.
The first step in the grand plan to revive the soul beasts has been successfully completed!
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on taking on such a fine disciple!"
the East Sea Tower Master congratulated from the side, but then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
"Is there anything else?"
Leng Yaozhu glanced at him.
"Your Majesty, there's a banquet hosted by the Ministry of Commerce in East Sea City tonight, and they've sent you an invitation."
The East Sea Tower Master bowed and presented an exquisite invitation.
Leng Yaozhu pondered for a moment, then slowly accepted the invitation.
"Very well! Yue'er, you should come with me!"
Having just taken Gu Yue as a disciple, it was indeed time to give her some opportunities to shine.
"Yes, Master!"
Gu Yue replied respectfully.
