The Spirit Hall was bustling with activity today, filled with many unfamiliar faces.
These people came from various sects or the two great empires.
They shared a common purpose: to congratulate the Pope of the Spirit Hall on finding a worthy disciple!
In the magnificent golden hall of the Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji, dressed in the Pope's exclusive robes, sat at the head of the table.
To his left was Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, followed by four cardinals.
To his right was Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, also flanked by four cardinals.
This grand ceremony demonstrated how much Qian Xunji valued this disciple-acceptance ceremony.
Qian Xunji's eyes gleamed as he subtly surveyed the arriving representatives from various forces.
Respect! Submission!
This was the attitude he desired!
This feeling was simply wonderful!
He glanced around briefly; a few key forces were still absent.
Of the three upper sects, only the Clear Sky Sect had not yet arrived; the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School were already there.
The four lower sects had arrived in Spirit City early, bringing very generous gifts!
Emperor Xue Ming of the Heaven Dou Empire sent his prime minister with a delegation, making a grand entrance and subtly enhancing the prestige of the Spirit Hall.
Emperor Dai Yuntian of the Star Luo Empire's delegation was still en route and had not yet arrived in Spirit City.
However, there was still some time before the ceremony began, so there was no rush.
"The outstanding Battle Soul Hammer, the majestic Clear Sky Sect..."
"Sooner or later, the Clear Sky Sect will also have to submit to the Spirit Hall!"
Dispelling his thoughts, Qian Xunji stood up and looked towards the gate.
He just didn't know when his useless younger brother would arrive!
If he had any self-awareness, he shouldn't have appeared at such an important occasion.
The Spirit Hall couldn't afford to lose face like that!
...
Bibi Dong, on the other hand, had changed into magnificent attire. It was her first time encountering such a grand scene, and she was still quite nervous.
"Your Highness, don't be nervous. Once His Holiness the Pope begins his summons, simply walk across the red carpet to him!"
"Don't pay attention to the stares of those outsiders; just treat them like wooden figures!"
A woman dressed as a maidservant beside Bibi Dong gently reminded her.
Bibi Dong nodded, "Sister Yu Mei, I understand!"
She was still a little unaccustomed to the identity of the Holy Maiden.
"No, Your Highness, you can't call me that anymore !"
"Otherwise, if His Holiness the Pope finds out, he'll punish me for not knowing my place!"
Yu Mei hurriedly said.
At this point, she thought to herself: Second Young Master, Yu Mei wants to go back!
She didn't understand why His Holiness the Pope wanted her to leave the Second Young Master temporarily, but she had missed him terribly these past few days.
Being with the Second Young Master felt so comfortable and relaxing!
"I won't do it again!"
The naive Bibi Dong quickly said she understood.
Yu Mei took care of her daily needs, and she didn't want her to be punished because of her.
Bibi Dong was also looking forward to what life would be like after becoming the Holy Maiden!
She must cultivate diligently and become stronger!
Only in this way can she eliminate more evil spirit masters and avenge her family and villagers!
She must never allow evil spirit masters to harm civilians again!
Gradually, Bibi Dong's heart calmed down, and her gaze became more resolute.
…
Ling Yuan looked at Qian Yucheng, puzzled as to why he hadn't set off yet.
The Pope's disciple-acceptance ceremony was less than an hour away.
He was still calmly flipping through his books, even nodding at interesting passages.
"Second Young Master, shouldn't we go to His Holiness the Pope now?"
Qian Yucheng stopped what he was doing, looked up at her, and said,
"Look, you're in such a hurry!"
"Perhaps he doesn't want me to go?"
"Huh?" Ling Yuan looked at him, confused. Why did the Pope invite him but then not want him to go?
"Wuhun City is so lively today! The last time I saw such a grand scene was when my good brother became Pope!"
"My brother values the honor of the Wuhun Hall. If I go like this, you should know how he'll feel!"
Qian Yucheng smiled slightly and continued flipping through his books.
"However, I will definitely go. The protagonist always makes his appearance at the crucial moment."
"If I'm not mistaken, the people from the Clear Sky Sect haven't arrived yet. What's the rush?"
Ling Yuan sensed many powerful auras in Martial Soul City: the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, the Diamond Mammoth, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda…
but she couldn't sense the domineering aura belonging to the Clear Sky Hammer.
How did the Second Young Master know so clearly?
"Alright, then I'll stand guard outside. If the Second Young Master needs anything, just call Ling Yuan!"

After speaking, she withdrew.
Reading? Absolutely not!
The dense text would give her a headache!
Seeing Ling Yuan's expression, Qian Yucheng shook his head slightly and continued reading his book.
…
"Haotian Sect congratulates His Holiness the Pope on the arrival of his new disciple!"
A deep, resonant voice echoed from outside the Papal Palace.
The people inside stopped talking and looked towards the door.
The Haotian Sect had arrived!
Their voices preceded their arrival; the Haotian Sect truly lived up to its reputation as a force capable of rivaling the Spirit Hall!
The newcomers entered the Papal Palace, their hammer emblems on their chests confirming their identities.
Haotian Sect!
"Your Holiness, the Sect Master is preoccupied with other matters and has specially dispatched four of us to bring congratulatory gifts!"
The speaker was the current Grand Elder of the Haotian Sect,
a level 95 Super Douluo with the title Green Mountain.
The remaining three were all at levels 92, 93, and 91.
The Clear Sky Sect dispatched four Title Douluo-level experts to offer their congratulations.
This strength instilled fear in other sects and forces; the mighty Clear Sky Sect was indeed powerful!
The Prime Minister of the Heaven Dou Empire was already planning how to persuade the Emperor to befriend the Clear Sky Sect.
The cabinet ministers of the Star Luo Empire shared the same thought; the Star Luo Emperor would certainly appreciate such a powerful ally!
Qian Xunji hadn't expected the Clear Sky Sect to send four Title Douluo!
This strength seriously threatened the Spirit Hall!
He calmly observed them, then smiled and said, "On behalf of my disciple, I thank the Clear Sky Sect for their congratulations. Please, everyone, have come from afar; please take your seats!"
After the Clear Sky Sect members sat down, all the representatives from various forces had arrived.
They were all very curious about the Pope's disciple's powerful talents!
Qian Xunji rose and said, "Gentlemen, you have traveled a long way. Today, the Spirit Hall is honored with your presence. I am deeply humbled and grateful for your arrival!"
"I now declare the disciple-acceptance ceremony officially open!"
As his voice fell, magnificent music began to resound in the hall.
Maids appeared one after another, lining both sides of the red carpet.
Then, Bibi Dong, led by a female Title Douluo, slowly walked in.
Her magnificent attire instantly attracted everyone's attention!
"This girl..."
"My spirit is trembling!"
"A top-tier beast spirit, absolutely no doubt!"
"His Holiness is truly fortunate; this disciple possesses the potential of a Title Douluo!"
Those in the hall looked at Bibi Dong with astonishment.
In everyone's eyes, this child's origins were ordinary, but her noble and elegant aura was undeniable!
Her luxurious attire seemed tailor-made for her!
The Title Douluos' eyes flashed with a sharp light.
The aura of a top-tier beast spirit!
Although unfamiliar, this familiar feeling was unmistakable!
They all looked at Qian Xunji, a hint of envy in their eyes.
Qian Xunji naturally noticed their gazes, but maintained a calm demeanor.
"Bibi Dong greets her teacher!"
Reaching the end of the red carpet, Bibi Dong curtsied.
"No need for formalities!"
Qian Xunji rose and slowly walked to her, a happy expression on his face.
He placed a silver crown on Bibi Dong's head, his tone solemn:
"Bibi Dong, today I accept you as my disciple. From this day forward, you are not only my disciple, but also a member of the Spirit Hall!"
"I hope you will abide by the rules of the Spirit Hall, diligently cultivate, live up to your talent and efforts, shine brightly in the world of spirit masters, and add glory to the Spirit Hall."
Bibi Dong's red lips parted slightly, her bright eyes revealing a resolute tone through her smile.
"This disciple will certainly live up to Master's expectations, remember Master's teachings, and diligently cultivate!"
"With a righteous heart and unwavering resolve, I will eliminate demons and defend the righteous path, upholding the prestige of the Martial Soul Hall!" As
the words fell, a voice came from outside the hall:
"Second Young Master, congratulations to His Holiness the Pope on the arrival of his fine disciple! I have prepared a small gift to offer my congratulations!"
Qian Xunji's expression changed, and anger began to build within him.
That useless younger brother, had he come to disturb his good deed?!
