Douluo Continent: Qian Daoliu has had a crush on me for a long time

Chapter 30 Control, Powerful Attack Dual Cultivation

"But there are actually many hidden sects in Douluo Continent, and their strength should not be underestimated. Some sects have not appeared in the world for thousands of years."

"And this Soul-Capturing Bell is a martial soul inheritance that only direct disciples of the reclusive Soul-Capturing Sect can receive."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingqiu frowned. She searched her memory for the name "Soul-Seizing Sect," but found nothing. She was quite certain that she had never heard of this name before.

"Does the High Priest mean that my father was a member of the Soul-Seizing Sect?"

Qian Daoliu nodded. "Not only that, he should also be a direct disciple of the Soul-Seizing Sect. This sect is very well hidden."

"When I was young, I traveled across the continent. That was nearly two hundred years ago. At that time, I learned about the Soul-Seizing Sect by chance, but I didn't know much. However, I can confirm that you must have some connection with the Soul-Seizing Sect."

Ye Jingqiu's heart skipped a beat, and he involuntarily twitched his knuckles. "Grand Elder, do you know where the Soul-Seizing Sect is located?"

Ye Jingqiu had never met her father and didn't even know what kind of person he was. If possible, Ye Jingqiu wanted to learn about him, even if it was just from what others told her.

But reality was destined to disappoint Ye Jingqiu. Qian Daoliu slowly shook his head. "I don't know where the Soul-Seizing Sect is. Although the Pope doesn't know much about it, she sent someone to look for the Soul-Seizing Sect after she learned that your martial soul is the Soul-Seizing Bell."

"But to this day, seven whole years have passed and she has found nothing."

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Ye Jingqiu's eyes.

Qian Daoliu said, "The Pope made you a control-type Soul Master, so your father must have been a control-type Soul Master. But what she doesn't know is that the Soul-Capturing Bell can also make you a power-attack-type Soul Master."

"The person from the Soul-Seizing Sect that I met when I was young also had the Soul-Seizing Bell as his martial soul, but unlike you, he was a power-attack type soul master, an extremely powerful power-attack type soul master."

Ye Jingqiu listened attentively. A person who could be praised as powerful by a level 99 peerless Douluo must be truly powerful.

"What does the High Priest mean?"

Qian Daoliu said, "When you were attacked on your way back to the Spirit Hall Academy, I saw you use your third spirit skill."

Ye Jingqiu nodded slightly. "That's the soul skill I obtained after hunting a thousand-year-old rattlesnake, the Three Snake Formation."

"Actually, this rattlesnake wasn't the most suitable soul beast for me at the time, but the situation was special. When we were hunting soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, we encountered a nine-thousand-year-old flamingo that was nearly ten thousand years old."

"At that time, Elder Ju was entangled by a soul beast that was nearly 100,000 years old, and my soul power was about to be exhausted. In order to save me, Lu Si'en lured the flamingo away. I had no choice but to absorb the soul ring of this rattlesnake, but I didn't expect that this misfortune would turn into a blessing."

"This third soul skill, the Three Serpent Formation, adds a small serpent for every ten levels it is upgraded. In addition to being highly poisonous and damaging to enemies, these serpents can also absorb up to 10% of the enemy's soul power and transfer 3% of it into my body."

"Moreover, this three percent will also increase as soul power increases."

Qian Daoliu's gaze was scrutinizing. "Your third soul skill is very strong, so strong that it doesn't seem like a soul skill that an ordinary thousand-year-old soul beast could give you."

"I think you might be more suited to be an offensive Soul Master than a control-type Soul Master."

Ye Jingqiu's expression was complicated. He fell silent for a long time before finally speaking, "Does the High Priest mean for me to become a power-attack type Soul Master?"

Qian Daoliu shook his head, raised his thick eyebrows, and became interested. "On the battlefield, offensive-type Soul Masters have their advantages. They have high burst damage, but their control ability is relatively weak."

"A good control-type Soul Master can undoubtedly crush opponents of the same level. In the Soul Master world, control-type Soul Masters are undoubtedly terrifying."

"However, control-type Soul Masters generally need the cooperation of power-attack-type Soul Masters. If the two work well together, they are an extremely terrifying force."

Ye Jingqiu's eyes lit up strangely. "Grand Elder, do you mean I should be both a control-type Soul Master and a power-attack-type Soul Master?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu gave Ye Jingqiu an appreciative look and said, "That's right, that's exactly what I meant, but this is something that has never happened before in the entire history of Douluo Continent."

"Therefore, I am not entirely certain that if you follow the Pope's advice, with your current talent, you will definitely become a very powerful Soul Master in the future, and perhaps becoming a Title Douluo will not be difficult for you."

"But if you choose this more difficult path, it may be filled with countless thorns. If you succeed, you will become the most powerful being, but that's only a possibility. Are you really willing to take that risk?"

Ye Jingqiu was undoubtedly hesitant. She understood Qian Daoliu's meaning, but she was indeed wavering.

The most powerful being.

That was the goal of every Soul Master, and Ye Jingqiu was no exception. After a long while, Ye Jingqiu stopped hesitating. Her clear eyes shone brightly, which made Qian Daoliu slightly stunned.

Ye Jingqiu said with burning eyes, "Grand Elder, I want to give it a try."

Qian Daoliu's gaze lingered on her for a moment before he said, "Alright, but I think you shouldn't tell the Pope about this yet."

"it is good."

The latest novel is first published here!

"Go back and prepare. The special training starts this afternoon. Have your maid take you to the training ground at two o'clock."

"Yes."

Ye Jingqiu didn't linger after receiving the message; he turned around and followed Chunshui back.

……

On the way back to the Papal Palace, Yue Guan and Gui Mei were both unusually silent.

As they approached the Papal Palace, the ghost finally couldn't help but speak up, "Why did you stop me from telling the saint the truth?"

Yue Guan turned to look at him and then sighed, "You're just too much of a straight man. What good would it do if you told the Holy Maiden in this situation? Would she come back with us?"

"Although the Grand Elder is a bit strict and aloof, he is currently one of the top five strongest individuals in the Douluo Continent."

"That's a peerless Douluo. It would only bring benefits to the Holy Maiden if she followed him."

"But have you thought about what would happen if something unexpected happened and the Holy Maiden came back?" Ghostly frowned and looked at Yue Guan with disapproval.

"But Ghost, the Holy Maiden is no longer an ordinary girl from a mountain village. She is the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, the next Pope of the Spirit Hall. She carries too much on her shoulders, and she can no longer do as she pleases."

Ghostly pursed her lips, ignoring Yue Guan, and vanished in a flash.

Yue Guan shook his head helplessly, "Everyone says you're scary, but in my opinion you still have the temper of a child."
