Qian Daoliu stood frozen in place, stunned, unable to believe his ears.
It must be known that the greatest wish of his life was to become a god.
He had already reached level ninety-nine, just one step away from godhood, yet he could not take that final step.
How difficult that step was, others could never understand.
It was so close, yet that tiny gap meant he could never cross it.
He had thought he would never have another chance in this lifetime, but now, unexpectedly, a turning point had appeared.
The ancestor had emerged and was actually going to tell him the method to become a god.
"Ancestor, is... is this true?" Qian Daoliu asked in shock.
Qian Yu nodded and said, "Indeed. After all, you are a member of the Spirit Hall, and the Spirit Hall was founded by my own hands. Naturally, I will help you."
"Thank you, Ancestor!" Immediately, Qian Daoliu knelt down and said.
"Ancestor, what do you need me to do now?" Qian Daoliu asked again.
Qian Yu remained very calm, looking at Qian Daoliu and saying, "No need. If I have matters to attend to, I will contact you."
"Yes, Ancestor!" Qian Daoliu promptly replied.
"Ancestor, then I shall take my leave now," Qian Daoliu added.
Qian Yu nodded, and Qian Daoliu's figure slowly vanished into the forest.
Qian Yu also returned to his dormitory, as if none of this had ever happened.
.....
The next day.
Tang San discovered the unconscious Grandmaster and immediately rushed him to the hospital for treatment.
A few hours later, the healing spirit master slowly walked out. Tang San hurriedly approached and asked, "Doctor, how is my teacher? Is he alright?"
The healing spirit master shook his head and said, "Sigh, his life is not in danger, but... that part could not be saved."
"What?"
Tang San was greatly shocked.
"How could this happen?" Tang San asked in disbelief.
After a long time, Grandmaster finally woke up.
Tang San immediately went to Grandmaster's side. Grandmaster was sullen and utterly dejected.
Tang San tiptoed in and stood before Grandmaster.
"Teacher, please accept my condolences."
Grandmaster remained expressionless and said nothing.
At that moment, Tang San tentatively asked, "Teacher, tell me who did this to you. In the future, I will surely avenge you!"
Grandmaster looked at Tang San and said, "Xiao San, you are all I have now. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but you are not yet his match. So, I don't want you to seek revenge."
"It was Qian Yu, wasn't it?" Tang San immediately asked.
Grandmaster nodded and said hypocritically, "Yes, it was him. Xiao San, you must not go after him. You are not his match yet."
Upon hearing this, Tang San exclaimed in shock, "How could this be?"
"Why would he harm you?"
Grandmaster shook his head and said, "I don't know. I never provoked him. Perhaps he harbored resentment against me. I clearly did nothing, but he..."
As Grandmaster spoke, tears streamed down his face.
"Perhaps he is afraid, afraid that we, teacher and student, will surpass him. That's why he attacked me," Grandmaster continued.
At this, Tang San clenched his fists.
He said fiercely, "Don't worry, teacher. I will definitely work hard to become stronger and surpass Qian Yu. In the future, I will surely avenge you."

.......
When Qian Yu returned to the dormitory, Xiao Wu immediately hugged him.
"Brother Qian Yu, where did you go last night? You didn't come back all night," Xiao Wu asked, holding onto Qian Yu.
Qian Yu calmly stroked Xiao Wu's head and smiled, "Nothing much. I just went out for a walk."
"What's wrong?" Qian Yu asked, looking at Xiao Wu.
"Nothing, I just missed Brother Qian Yu," Xiao Wu said.
Patting Xiao Wu's head, Qian Yu said lightly, "Alright, let's go eat first!"
"Mm-hmm!"
Xiao Wu nodded, linked her arm with Qian Yu's, and the two headed toward the cafeteria.
At that moment, they saw a child standing in their path.
The child wore blue clothes and had a resolute gaze. He was none other than Grandmaster's disciple, the son of Haotian Douluo—Tang San.
Tang San stood before Qian Yu, glaring angrily and said, "Was it you who injured my teacher?"
Qian Yu stopped with Xiao Wu, looked at Tang San, and said, "Yes, it was me. What, do you want to avenge him?"
Tang San's gaze was firm as he coldly stared at Qian Yu and said, "Qian Yu, I admit you are very strong now, but thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—do not bully a young man for being poor!"
"Heh... thirty years east, thirty years west—do you think you're Xiao Yan?"
Qian Yu thought to himself.
But then, he looked at Tang San and asked, "Why don't you ask why I injured him?"
"You are innately at level thirty, while my teacher is only at level twenty-eight. Could he possibly have come to trouble you? I don't need to ask. It must be that you feared under his guidance I would surpass you, so you harmed him!" Tang San said fiercely.
Hearing this, Qian Yu found it utterly laughable. Looking at this situation, Yu Xiaogang truly was an unmitigated scoundrel.
Qian Yu did not explain. He was not about to lower himself to explain to a mere Tang San.
"Heh... as expected."
"What are you laughing at?" Tang San shouted angrily.
"Nothing. Since you are so determined, I'll wait for you to surpass me! Xiao Wu, let's go."
Qian Yu patted Xiao Wu's head and led her toward the cafeteria.
Tang San watched the intimate figures of Qian Yu and Xiao Wu from behind, and a sharp pain twisted in his chest.
"Qian Yu, I... will definitely, definitely surpass you!"
Tang San swore silently in his heart.
........
In the days that followed, Qian Yu continued training at Notting Academy.
After training for a while, Qian Yu had mostly consolidated the power of his first spirit ring.
It was time to obtain his second spirit ring.
For the second spirit ring, Qian Yu planned to head to the Star Dou Great Forest.
The spirit beasts in the Hunting Spirit Forest could no longer satisfy him, so going to the Star Dou Great Forest was his best choice.
Qian Yu went to the Spirit Hall. Whether it was Matthew Nuo or Su Yuntao, everyone treated Qian Yu with great respect.
Because their strength was inferior to Qian Yu's, and they felt Qian Yu was definitely extraordinary. Thus, although Qian Yu was just a minor spirit master at the Notting City Spirit Hall, in terms of status, even Matthew Nuo had to follow his orders.
Qian Yu had them prepare a carriage.
Then, Qian Yu embarked on the journey to the Star Dou Great Forest.
However, Qian Yu did not bring Xiao Wu along. Xiao Wu came from the Star Dou Great Forest, and bringing her would inevitably stir up memories.
Now, Xiao Wu was practically the big sister in the academy, and no one dared bully her. So, going alone would be more convenient.
