Douluo's Golden Lion Roars to the Sky

Chapter 297 Acting as Manager of Internal Affairs, Qibao's Visit

"Of course we have to wait for Grandpa to come back."

The excitement in Su He's eyes still couldn't fade; he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

From the moment I arrived in this Douluo world, from the moment I met Qian Renxue in my childhood.

He had mentally rehearsed this day countless times. Although he knew it would come sooner or later, Su He hadn't expected it to arrive so quickly.

I originally thought I would have to wait until I became a god or completely unified the continent. But I never expected that the one who couldn't wait the first time would be the God of Destruction.

Su He made a very bold guess: the God of Destruction had mentioned that Qian Renxue would also receive considerable benefits from this reward.

The assessment involves marriage, so could it be related to that mysterious God of Life?
In a previous assessment, Su He obtained a treasure that allowed Qian Renxue's martial soul to split into two martial souls.

If this guess is correct... then everything can be pieced together from the details of those smiles...

The Spirit Hall will also have two successors to the God-King level.

Heh, Asura God King, no matter how shameless you are, you never expected that the Destruction God King would be even more shameless than you...

Moreover, because the Asura God King had repeatedly set a precedent for interfering in the lower realms, the Evil God King and the Good God King, though they did not say it, were already dissatisfied with this behavior.

If the Asura God King dared to impeach the Destruction God King in the God Realm Committee over such a matter, he would undoubtedly be shooting himself in the foot.

"Xue'er, you're already level 89?"

Su He came to her senses and realized that Qian Renxue had also broken through to the Soul Power level. She had been worried that Qian Renxue was too busy with official duties to cultivate.

"Huh, that's natural."

"If it weren't for the sheer amount of official business and the fact that I had to do some things personally, I would already be at level 90 by now."

"We will definitely be able to break through within a month."

Upon hearing this, Su He looked at Qian Renxue with affection.

That look seemed to say: Okay, okay, I know you're the best.

"Cough cough."

Qian Daoliu cleared his throat again.

"In that case, let's wait until you all reach level 90, then we'll set off together to find your ninth spirit rings, how about that?"

“It doesn’t have to be that complicated,” Qian Renxue said. “The eighth test of the Divine Trial provided me with a divinely bestowed soul ring. If I can successfully pass the test, I can directly absorb the soul ring. After that, I will also absorb the last part of the Angel Set. I only need one more test to inherit the divine position.”

"That's great. Then I'll leave my spirit rings to you, grandfathers."

Since Qian Renxue's ninth spirit ring could be obtained through divine bestowal, absorbing a spirit ring that would last for 500,000 years wouldn't be a big problem for her with her current strength. Knowing that she and Qian Renxue would disturb the elders' cultivation, Su He took this opportunity to take her leave.

Chaos Emperor Golden Lion's eighth spirit ring has been acquired from Bear King of the Star Dou Great Forest, a 460,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear King.

The target of the ninth spirit ring must be stronger than Xiong Jun, not weaker.

As for the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian, ​​they are temporarily unable to act. Although the Spirit Hall is extremely powerful now, it is still just a large spirit master organization and has not yet produced a god-level expert. If they were to attack Di Tian, ​​and were to encounter the Silver Dragon King who was determined to retaliate, their side would suffer heavy casualties, at best the worst outcome; it would be a miracle if they were not completely annihilated.

Even when severely injured, the Silver Dragon King could still unleash terrifying power. Killing several Soul Masters below level 100 before the God Realm sent reinforcements would not be a difficult task for her.

Therefore, Su He ruled out the option of Di Tian.

The remaining opponents are the Evil Eye Tyrant and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. The former specializes in mental power and possesses a terrifying and incredibly powerful technique called the Light of Time and Space. However, with their own lineup, the assistance of the Sun Moon Empire's Sun Emperor, Xu Zhanhuang, the head of the Xu family, and the support of the soul tool troops, it wouldn't be difficult for them to surround and kill the Evil Emperor.

Hunting the Deep Sea Demon Whale King would be more difficult. The ocean is the home ground of the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan, but with Golden Crocodile Douluo, a Limit Douluo, on our side, we have the strength to fight in the water.

Qian Daoliu's six-winged angel can unleash its full power almost anywhere, while Lion Douluo's performance on the high seas would be limited. However, hunting the Deep Sea Demon Whale King has another significant advantage: it can greatly disrupt Tang San's divine examination. Becoming the Sea God inevitably involves hunting the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. If they manage to kill the 990,000-year-old Deep Sea Demon Whale King prematurely, Tang San's divine examination will at least be forced to change to a lower-level test, affecting his affinity for godhood and the rewards.

This would be a win-win situation that would harm both oneself and the enemy. Therefore, after a moment's thought, Su He decided to make the Deep Sea Demon Whale King her ninth spirit ring.

To be on the safe side, we'll wait until Qian Renxue passes the eighth test of the Divine Examination before making any plans. Having another Title Douluo, a successor of the Divine Examination, by our side will greatly increase our chances of success.

The Angel God's test was much gentler than that of the Destroyer God King. Due to Qian Renxue's seclusion, Su He temporarily assumed the position of Pope.

...three months later

"Elder Judge, Sect Master Ning and Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have come to pay their respects and wish to meet the Pope."

Su He was sitting in the Pope's seat, idly reviewing memorials. Only after actually doing it did he realize how boring the Pope's job was.

After the evil spirit masters were purged, most of the memorials that the Pope had to review were about routine political matters, such as how much relief food to provide in a drought-stricken area.

"Oh... Ning Fengzhi is here?"

"Invite him in."

Su He gave the instructions, and soon after, Ning Fengzhi led Sword Douluo into the main hall.

Upon seeing Su He, Ning Fengzhi performed a greeting befitting a peer. The Su He of today was no longer the junior she was a few years ago; in terms of status, she was already their equal.
"Elder Judge."

"Sect Leader Ning, it's been a long time."

"Having heard that Elder Judgment has broken through to level ninety... I have come here specifically to lend a helping hand to Elder's ninth spirit ring."

"Where is the Pope now?"

Upon hearing this, Su He understood perfectly.

Ning Fengzhi is a shrewd businessman. His visit to pledge his loyalty is also an attempt to infiltrate the inner circle of the Spirit Hall.

"The Pope is currently in seclusion, and the internal affairs of the Spirit Hall are being handled entirely by our hall. Sect Master Ning, please speak freely if you have any questions."

These words immediately caused Sword Douluo, who was standing to the side, to frown slightly. Clearly, he had sensed the firmness in Su He's words.

Ning Fengzhi, however, smiled slightly, his gentle and refined demeanor unchanged.

"I wonder if the Elder of the Arbitration could introduce me to that Master Hongchen, who possesses soul tools?"

(Heh, you've finally shown your true colors, you old fox.)
Sima Zhao's intentions are obvious to everyone. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has always suffered from a lack of strong self-defense capabilities. Although they are nominally allies with the Spirit Hall, the Spirit Hall will not share its most core soul tool technology with them.

"Oh?" Su He looked at Ning Fengzhi with a half-smile.

"Master Hongchen is a core secret agent of our Spirit Hall. May I ask what capacity Sect Leader Ning has come to inquire of our hall this time?"

"Being an ally alone... isn't enough..."

"Su He, don't go too far."

Sword Douluo frowned and tried to dissuade him.

"presumptuous!"

"Now I am the acting Pope of the Spirit Hall. Since the Pope is not here, I am the one who calls the shots here."

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School...do you have any objections?"
