Douluo Continent: The Second Young Master of the Spirit Hall, who became a god through reading.

Chapter 2 Qian Xunji: I also wanted to be a good older brother

When Ling Yuan caught up with Qian Yucheng, she found Pope Qian Xunji standing in front of her.

Ling Yuan stepped forward and respectfully said, "Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope!"

"No need for formalities!"

Qian Xunji gave a curt reply and then looked at his younger brother.

"Second brother, you've spent the last thirty years in the library; you've truly had great patience!"

"Brother, I've found a promising disciple! The apprenticeship ceremony is about to begin, you have to be there!"

Qian Yucheng had long since stopped caring about his elder brother's veiled sarcasm.

These words are far less damaging than the PUA tactics his ex-girlfriend used in his past life!

"Brother, this is great news! Of course I have to be there!"

"You've been stuck at level 89 for two and a half years now. Maybe you'll break through to become a Title Douluo after you take on a disciple!"

He looked delighted and sincerely congratulated Qian Xunji on having found such a good disciple.

Seeing their brotherly and respectful demeanor, Ling Yuan became somewhat skeptical of the rumors circulating outside.

Who spread the rumor that the two sons of the Grand Master are at odds?!

(Qian Yucheng: That's me!)

Qian Xunji was displeased. Since his second younger brother started studying, he had become increasingly arrogant in his speech!

However, he is ultimately just a useless person who cannot cultivate a martial spirit!

"It's good that you understand. As the second young master of the Spirit Hall, you must not tarnish the Spirit Hall's reputation under any circumstances!"

After saying those words, Qian Xunji left.

As the Pope, who is the center of attention, he wouldn't waste too much time on such a useless person!

Qian Yucheng shook his head, thinking that his older brother was too eager for quick success and instant benefits.

His talent even surpassed his father's; he was already a level 59 Soul King at the age of twenty!

It's a pity that sixteen years have passed and I'm stuck at level 89.

However, this speed still made the old guys in the Hall of Offerings place high hopes on him.

Otherwise, how could someone without the title of Douluo possibly serve as the Pope of the Spirit Hall?!

"Brother, the wheels of fate have begun to turn!"

Qian Yucheng sighed inwardly and turned to look at Ling Yuan.

"Elder Lingyuan, there is actually another way to solve your martial soul problem!"

"The best and simplest method is the balance of Yin and Yang. Heaven and earth are natural, and Yin and Yang complement each other. This is the principle of the Way of Heaven."

"If you could find six ice-attribute soul bones, you could solve this problem too. Unfortunately, ice-attribute soul bones are extremely rare!"

Upon hearing his words, Ling Yuan completely disregarded the first option and still felt that the second method was more reliable.

She didn't believe in the concept of yin and yang in harmony; it was clearly a flirtatious and frivolous remark meant to tease her!

"Second Young Master, I've remembered the ice-attribute soul bone!" She indicated that she understood.

Seeing Ling Yuan say this, Qian Yucheng stopped talking. If he said too much, she might think he was lusting after her body.

But to be fair, her figure is indeed top-notch.

"Okay, come with me!"

Qian Yucheng left the library with Ling Yuan.

...

"Your Holiness the Pope, the High Priest has summoned you to the Hall of Priests!"

Upon seeing Qian Xunji return, the guard immediately reported it.

"I see!"

Qian Xunji glanced at the huge angel statue and headed towards the sacrificial hall.

He arrived at the main hall and looked at Qian Daoliu sitting in the middle.

"Father, I've come!"

"Xunji, went to the library to see the imperial palace again?"

Qian Daoliu opened his eyes and looked at his eldest son.

"Father, I did visit my second brother, and he's still the same as before."

Qian Xunji did not hide anything and told the truth.

"well……"

Qian Daoliu sighed. His second son's temperament and other aspects far surpassed those of ordinary people, but unfortunately he was unable to cultivate soul power.

The eldest son, Qian Xunji, is exceptionally talented and ambitious, but unfortunately, his character is not up to par.

The legacy of the Angel God cannot be relied upon in this generation.

"I've met Bibi Dong; she's the best candidate for the position of Saintess!"

"The second person on the continent to possess twin martial souls, and with innate full soul power at that—the Spirit Hall deserves to nurture them with all its might!"

Qian Daoliu was quite pleased; this trip to exterminate the evil spirit masters had brought back an unexpected surprise.

"Father, I will nurture her well. Such a rare twin martial soul—the Spirit Hall won't let such a genius be left to languish!"

A hint of smugness flashed in Qian Xunji's eyes. This would be the beginning of him leaving a significant mark on the history of the Spirit Hall!

The youngest and fastest Pope in the history of the Spirit Hall to break through to the Title Douluo level!

Just thinking about it makes my heart flutter!

He hid it well, but Qian Daoliu was an old and shrewd man; how could he not see through it?

The eldest son, on whom they had placed high hopes, had become obsessed and it would be difficult for him to turn back.

Qian Daoliu's smile faded, and he asked, "The people around Yu Cheng, were they all arranged by you?"

"Indeed, his maids were all carefully arranged by me, and their conditions in all aspects are top-notch."

"Although my second brother cannot cultivate, he can ensure the continuation of the Qian family line. Perhaps he will even give birth to a genius descendant!"

Qianxun said quickly.

"Do you think what you're doing is so discreet, and that your dear brother is a fool?"

"Those women were all very attractive, so why didn't he touch any of them?"

"Xunji, you've disappointed me greatly!"

"Miyuki... he's your own younger brother!"

Qian Daoliu's expression changed, and he immediately reprimanded Qian Xunji.

"Even if he can't cultivate, you can't cut off his hope of continuing his lineage. Is that something a brother should do?!"

Qian Xunji never expected that even though she had kept this matter so secret, her father would still find out.

So he stopped hiding it and revealed a hint of madness in his blond hair and blue eyes.

The person looked completely unfamiliar to Qian Daoliu!

"You understand nothing, Father. I really want to improve!"

"From the moment he was born, the eyes of my mother, the elders... everyone was focused on my second brother!"

"I feel like a forgotten child!"

"To be honest, I'm really jealous of him!"

"From the age of three, I secretly vowed to myself that I would surpass him and gain everyone's approval!"

Qian Daoliu never expected that his eldest son would become jealous of his younger brother because of this.

"But you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qian Xunji interrupted him.

"What are you trying to say? I'm the older brother, shouldn't I take care of my younger brother?!"

"I want to be a good older brother too!"

"But he stole all my childhood memories. I was born a moment before him, and I was a child too!"

"He always gets priority; I, as his older brother, can only choose what's left!"

The more Qian Xunji recalled the past, the more intense her jealousy became.

"If he hadn't awakened his martial soul at six years old, he would have had a useless martial soul. Do you think I would be in this situation today?!"

"To be honest, I'm truly grateful to God for giving me back everything I lost!"

"I have successfully awakened my six-winged angel form, and with innate full soul power at that! Your attention is finally focused on me. I never knew the feeling of being admired was so intoxicating!"

"My second brother is a piece of trash; in the history of the Spirit Hall, he's a disgrace!"

"And this is also a disgrace to my entire family!"

"A family with a six-winged angel lineage has produced a good-for-nothing. If this news gets out, the entire continent will probably laugh at the Spirit Hall!"

"Therefore, even if I bear the infamy, I will wash away this shame for the Spirit Hall!"

Qian Daoliu instantly stood up, exuding a powerful aura, and came to Qian Xunji, raising his right hand.

"You unfilial son! He's your own brother! How could you do something like this, killing your own flesh and blood!"

"No matter how useless he is, he's still my son, Qian Daoliu's son. How I deal with him is my business!"

"Now I understand why you couldn't gain the idol's approval..."

"A person with such a dark mind can never gain the approval of the light!"

"I've lived an upright life, how could I have such a rebellious son like you!"

Qian Xunji was not afraid at all, his eyes fixed on his father.

"So what if I can't gain recognition? I am now the Pope of the Spirit Hall, the object of everyone's admiration!"

"Second only to the emperor, above all others, the Spirit Hall will become even more glorious in my hands!"

As the two faced off, a burly figure walked in.

"Great Master, what has happened? Has a foreign enemy invaded?"

As the newcomer approached, he was an elderly man with a powerful aura, dressed in a gold and silver embroidered robe, and with white hair and beard.

It was none other than the Second Elder of the Spirit Hall, Golden Crocodile Douluo.

His martial soul is the Golden Crocodile King, and he is a level 98 peak offensive-type titled Douluo!

Qian Daoliu withdrew his imposing aura and returned to his seat, his expression unreadable.

"It's nothing, just testing Xunji's abilities."

"He's been stuck at level 89 for two and a half years. He just tested the waters, and he'll probably break through to level 90 soon!"

Hearing Qian Daoliu say this, Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Qian Xunji with satisfaction.

"Excellent, excellent, truly worthy of being the most outstanding Pope in the Spirit Hall's millennium!"

"Once you break through level ninety, I will personally hunt down a suitable soul beast for you!"

Qian Xunji looked respectfully at Golden Crocodile Douluo, "Xunji thanks the Second Elder!"

He then looked at Qian Daoliu and said, "Father, there are still matters awaiting my attention in the Papal Palace, so I must take my leave!"

"Um!"

Qian Daoliu nodded and then left the Hall of Offerings.

"Leave him away from the entrance," said Golden Crocodile Douluo, looking at Qian Daoliu with a serious expression, puzzled.

"Great Elder, why did you show murderous intent towards Xunji just now?"

Qian Daoliu shook his head and sighed:

"It's a pity that Yu Cheng can't cultivate, otherwise he would be the most suitable candidate for Pope!"
