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

Chapter 3 Shocking the Spirit Kite: The Theory of Core Competitiveness

Ling Yuan watched as the Second Young Master led her away from the Spirit Hall and to a secluded courtyard, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Why did this second young master bring me to such a remote place?

Could it be...?

A sense of vigilance rose in her heart. If the other party had any improper thoughts about him, then she would teach him a lesson!

So what if he's the second young master? He still has to be punished for his mistakes!

Qian Yucheng had no idea what Ling Yuan, who was following him, was thinking. He brought her here so that she could see some of the results of his research over the years.

Soon, they arrived at a courtyard.

Qian Yucheng said to the gate, "Odd changes, even remains the same; the sign depends on the quadrant!"

Ling Yuan looked at him in confusion. What kind of bizarre password was this?

The gate opened, and a woman dressed in blue casual clothes walked out.

She respectfully greeted Qian Yucheng, "Young Master, you've arrived!"

Qian Yucheng smiled and said, "Yes, Yunyan, you've worked hard. Were the children behaving well?"

Shui Yunyan smiled and said, "Very obedient, and your cultivation is normal!"

Looking at Shui Yunyan's gentle and tender face, and her slender waist adorned with snow-white skin like a ripe peach, Ling Yuan felt even more wary of Qian Yucheng.

What is such a beautiful woman doing hiding here?

Qian Yucheng led Ling Yuan inside, and Shui Yunyan closed the courtyard gate.

As Qian Yucheng walked in, he heard the voices of children.

"The teacher is here! Come out and greet her!"

Soon, four children came out.

Two men and two women looked at Qian Yucheng with happy expressions.

"Teacher, come here!"

"Teacher, we miss you so much!"

"When are we going to hunt spirit beasts? I'm so bored!"

"I want to eat the teacher's cooking!"

Hearing the children's words, Qian Yucheng smiled.

"The teacher came here this time just to drop by. Did you all listen to what Sister Yunyan said?"

"Yes, we're all good, obedient children!"

After the four children finished speaking, they looked at Ling Yuan with curiosity.

They looked at Qian Yucheng and asked, "Who is this beautiful lady?"

Shui Yunyan smiled at the children and said, "Before you get to know others, you should introduce yourself first!"

"My name is Wang Lei, I'm eight years old, my martial soul is the Mighty Hammer; I'm an 18th-level power-attack type soul master!"

"My name is Shui Qing'er, I am nine years old, my martial soul is Ice Grass, and I am a level 21 Great Soul Master!"

"My name is Mu Lan, I'm ten years old, my martial soul is the Thunder Blade; I'm a level 25 Great Soul Master!"

"My name is Shui Weiwei, I am eight years old, my martial soul is Sunflower, and I am a level 17 support-type soul master!"

Looking at the children's introductions, Ling Yuan thought, "Their talent is just too high!"

She looked at Shui Yunyan and asked, "Are these children's martial soul awakening with innate full soul power?"

"No!" Shui Yunyan shook her head: "When they awakened, they were all children whose soul power was no more than level three, which is what the Spirit Hall considers a useless spirit."

This is unbelievable!

Ling Yuan stared in shock at the four children. Their innate soul power was no more than level three, yet they had cultivated to this level in less than five years!

"Kids, show me your spirit rings!"

After Qian Yucheng finished speaking, the four children revealed their various spirit rings.

Wang Lei: Yellow (800 years)

Shui Qing'er: Yellow (700 years), Purple (3000 years)

Mu Lan: Purple (1500 years), Purple (3500 years)

Shui Weiwei: Yellow (900 years)

"How is that possible? The first spirit ring's configuration is no more than 500 years old, and the second spirit ring's configuration is no more than 1000 years old!"

"With their configuration..."

Ling Yuan was speechless with surprise. The strength of these four children had already surpassed that of the children who were junior Soul Masters at the Spirit Hall!

"Young Master said that there is a close connection between Martial Soul and Soul Rings!"

"Different martial souls, when matched with suitable soul rings, can produce extraordinary effects!"

"The information recorded in the book is too superficial and easily misleading!"

Shui Yunyan explained.

"Yes, Sister Yunyan is right!"

"Teacher's theory about spirit souls is amazing! My first spirit ring is an 800-year-old gold-devouring rat!"

"Absorbing the spirit ring was completely painless!"

Wang Lei, as Qian Yucheng's number one fanboy, looked at him with stars in his eyes.

Afterwards, the other three children also told Ling Yuan about the age of their soul rings, and she felt that her knowledge was insufficient!

Shui Yunyan smiled at her and introduced herself:

"Water Clouds and Mist, Martial Soul: Ice Bird!"

"A level 78 offensive Soul Saint!"

She revealed her spirit rings: purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black.

Ling Yuan looked at the opponent's martial soul configuration; this configuration was terrifying!

Five black spirit rings, judging from their color, they are all over 20,000 years old!

She looked at Qian Yucheng, her tone somewhat urgent:

"Second Young Master, this configuration for her, was that also your suggestion?!"

Qian Yucheng nodded: "Indeed, according to my research on the core competition theory of martial souls, Yunyan's martial soul configuration is already perfect!"

"In a battle between opponents of the same level, her strength completely overwhelms them!"

"She can easily retreat from any Soul Douluo below level 85!"

However, he concealed the fact that Shui Yunyan possessed a soul bone.

Soul bones are too rare to be easily disclosed to others.

Ling Yuan now believed that what the Second Young Master had told her before was true!

That thing called Yin-Yang Harmony can really solve her cultivation dilemma!

His spirit rings are all fire-attribute bird spirit rings, so he may have really reached the Title Douluo level!

It turns out that the second young master was telling the truth from beginning to end; I just didn't believe him because I was prejudiced!

As expected, the child of the Grand Master is no ordinary person!

"Second Young Master, this matter is very important. Are the Hall of Offerings and the Papal Palace aware of it?"

Ling Yuan felt that this matter was of utmost importance and must be kept a secret!

"Tell them what to do. The theory isn't finished yet. If we rush to report it, it'll be disastrous!"

Qian Yucheng immediately dismissed Ling Yuan's idea.

If his elderly father and good brother find out, he'll never have a peaceful life again!

He looked at Ling Yuan with sincere eyes: "Elder Ling Yuan, you wouldn't want me to be punished by the Hall of Offerings and the Papal Palace for submitting an incomplete theory, would you?"

"Of course, I will keep this a secret for the Second Young Master!" Ling Yuan nodded without hesitation.

In her eyes, since the second young master trusted her so much, he naturally wanted to help him!

"Once I've perfected my theory, I'll personally hand it over to the Grand Elder, which will be my small contribution to the Spirit Hall!"

"The Spirit Hall has nurtured me for so many years, and this is all I can do. I truly feel guilty!"

Qian Yucheng then put on an act as if he could never repay the debt of gratitude to the Spirit Hall, which greatly moved Ling Yuan.

It turns out that the Second Young Master had been silently enduring ridicule and sarcasm, working hard in secret, wanting to repay the Spirit Hall!

That's amazing!

The Grand Master assigned her to protect the Second Young Master, and she must fulfill this important task!

"Second Young Master, don't worry, your safety is in my hands!"

"No matter what happens, Lingyuan will always protect you!"

Seeing Ling Yuan's determined look, Qian Yucheng knew that his plan could proceed smoothly!

He looked in the direction of Wuhun City, his heart filled with confidence.

"Father, I will prove myself!"

"My dear brother, you'd better hold onto your position as Pope of the Spirit Hall!"
