Qian Renshang led Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling to the reception hall.
After the two women were seated, he quickly explained his experiences over the past few days.
He explained what soul spirits were, how the Spirit Transmission Tower was built, and why it was renamed the Spirit Transmission Academy.
Of course, Qian Renshang didn't reveal some crucial secrets.
Half an hour later!
After hearing Qian Renshang's explanation, the two women were utterly shocked.
They knew Qian Renshang was powerful, but they hadn't expected him to be this powerful!
He actually created another system independent of the Soul Ring system, the Soul Spirit system, which is an epoch-making change!
"That's roughly how things are.
I need to form a team to participate in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition with me... and it would be best if everyone in this team could have a Soul Spirit, so that everyone would be aware of the existence of Soul Spirits!"
"Senior Sister Ye and Senior Sister Dugu have come at the right time, so I wanted to ask if you two would be willing to participate in the experiment..."
Qian Renshang stared at the two girls and asked.
To be honest, he would give Soul Spirits to his friends first, since those who came first would have a wider range of Soul Beasts to choose from!
"Yes... of course we're willing!"
The two girls said eagerly, completely disregarding their ladylike reserve.
"Soul spirits, beings capable of fighting independently, sound intriguing, especially since one soul spirit can grant multiple soul rings.
"Dugu Yan said, "I recently reached level 40, and I was planning to hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings and break through to the Soul Master realm,"
Ye Lingling chimed in.
"I'm a little slower than her, only reaching level 40 yesterday.
Soul spirits… I'm willing to give it a try, even if I fail!"
"You two are both exactly level 40?
That's wonderful!"
Qian Renshang exclaimed with delight, surprised by this unexpected joy.
He immediately summoned Di Tian, who was in seclusion.
"Uncle Di Tian… I'm preparing to choose suitable soul spirits for my two friends. Could you please take them to choose one…?"
Di Tian, still in his familiar black robe, replied indifferently, his eyes almost devoid of emotion.
"Alright!"
He then spoke in a deep voice to the two women.
"Follow me!"
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling exchanged a glance, their expressions hesitant.
This man's aura was terrifying, even more so than the man who was as strong as a bear just now.
Why were there so many strange people on Qian Renshang's side all of a sudden!
Without hesitation, the two women quickly followed.
Di Tian's expression was cold and stern as he led Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling slowly into the deep forest behind the Spirit Pagoda.
This was a mysterious area specially created to house soul beasts, its tranquil atmosphere permeated with a mysterious and dangerous aura.
Di Tian's indifferent voice broke the silence, concise and decisive:
"Look over there, that's a thousand-year-old Shadow Leopard."
Following the direction of his finger, a lithe black leopard lay lurking in the Shadow.
Its black spots intertwined like shadows, and its deep blue eyes, like a deep, cold pool, gleamed with a chilling light in the dim light.
Its limbs were taut, ready to unleash astonishing speed at any moment, disappearing into the darkness.
"Over there, is the ten-thousand-year-old Fiery Lion,"
Di Tian's voice rang out again. A massive lion stood proudly, its body engulfed in blazing flames, each flame pulsating with ferocious power.
Its mane, like burning flames, was crimson and flamboyant, its majestic face inspiring awe.
Just as they were speaking, several strange soul beasts cast curious glances their way.
A spirit bird with five-colored wings flapped its wings and flew closer; it was called the "Rainbow Feather Sparrow," each feather shimmering with a rainbow-like brilliance, its lively eyes like dazzling gems, curiously observing these uninvited guests.
There was also a soul beast resembling a Qilin, but covered in ice crystals; it was called the "Ice Qilin Beast."
The crystal-clear ice emanated wisps of cold air, condensing the surrounding air into a white mist.
It proudly raised its head, its icy gaze conveying mystery and majesty.
Di Tian remained expressionless and continued, "This is a ten-thousand-year-old Green Wood Serpent."
A massive serpent coiled around an ancient tree, its verdant body blending perfectly with the lush foliage, almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
Its body was covered in strange patterns, as if containing ancient secrets.
After a brief introduction, Di Tian calmly stated,
"You can freely choose any of these soul beasts, but only after obtaining their consent!"
Dugu Yan's eyes widened, her lips trembling slightly.
"This...this is unbelievable! So many rare soul beasts gathered here...the Green Wood Serpent!
That's a soul beast my grandfather Ye coveted, supposedly perfectly suited to my martial soul."
Ye Lingling also gasped, covering her mouth in shock.
"Can we choose freely...hiss, these are too precious!"
Di Tian stood behind, arms crossed, watching the two women and nodding in satisfaction.
His discerning eye naturally revealed that both women were extraordinary.
They were likely among the top geniuses in humanity; it wouldn't be a disgrace for these soul beasts to follow them.
So, he used his spiritual power to send a message to all the soul beasts, allowing them to choose their masters...
Most of these soul beasts were nearing their end, or perhaps they genuinely wanted to experience a different kind of life!
After finishing these tasks, Di Tian left, intending to leave the choice to them.
...
Back in the reception hall, Di Tian approached Qian Renshang and praised him.
"Your two friends have good talent."
"Indeed, they are top-tier, after all, their martial souls are both top-tier."
Qian Renshang replied with a smile, then asked in return,
"By the way, Uncle Di Tian, what is Sister Nana doing now... I haven't seen her for several days!"
Qian Renshang was somewhat distressed because he hadn't seen Gu Yuena for the past few days, as if she was deliberately avoiding him.
"Haha..."
Di Tian's expression turned cold and unrestrained when he heard Qian Renshang's question.
Qian Renshang scratched his head, still confused.
Why was he laughing?
Di Tian: "The Master is currently undergoing special training!"
Qian Renshang asked in confusion, "Special training?"
"That's right. You've improved too quickly lately, especially after absorbing Zi Ji as your soul spirit.
Your level has even jumped to level 79.
The Master's soul power has been surpassed by you. She doesn't want to fall behind you."
Di Tian explained.
"So she's going into special training now, she'll only come out of seclusion if she's at least stronger than you... Judging by the time, she should be almost done by now."
"After all, our lord doesn't do regular training, she's just regaining her original strength."
"Ah... I see."
Qian Renshang couldn't help but chuckle.
He hadn't expected Sister Nana to be like this, afraid he'd surpass her?
What kind of mentality is that?
