Having just become a Title Douluo, Bibi Dong came to propose marriage.

Upon seeing the papal token before them, the Spirit Hall Soul Masters did not hesitate and immediately knelt on the ground, bowing and paying their respects to Qin Yuan.

It should be noted that holding the papal token is equivalent to the presence of the pope himself, and anyone from the Spirit Hall, even those platinum bishops, must bow and pay their respects.

Otherwise, it will be considered a great disrespect!

"Junior Cassius, a guard from the Spirit Hall branch, pays his respects to the Elder!"

Cassius hurriedly handed the papal token back to Qin Yuan, saying timidly, "Please take back the token, Elder."

Qin Yuan took the token handed to him, glanced at the Spirit Hall branch, and said, "If I remember correctly, the Spirit Hall branch in Heaven Dou City should be guarded by a Platinum Bishop, right?"

Just as Qin Yuan finished speaking, a Soul Master at the Soul Douluo level, dressed in magnificent robes and with graying hair and beard, rushed out of the scoring hall.

"Junior Salas, Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, greets Your Majesty Qin Yuan."

Salas hurriedly bowed to Qin Yuan, his face filled with fear, and said, "I received the Pope's order yesterday, but I did not expect Your Majesty to arrive so quickly. Please forgive me for not greeting you properly."

"I have already fulfilled His Holiness the Pope's request. Please follow me, senior."

Salas gestured for him to proceed, afraid of offending the Title Douluo before him.

After all, the Pope's letter clearly stated that if Qin Yuan had any dissatisfaction, then there was no need to keep his head.

Although the relationship between Qin Yuan and His Holiness the Pope is unknown, it is clear from this that Qin Yuan's status in the Spirit Hall is second only to His Holiness the Pope.

If you offend him, death will probably be the only thing waiting for you.

Soto City, Tiandou Empire.

Shrek Academy.

As the only intermediate-level Soul Master academy in Soto City, Shrek Academy has exceptionally high admission standards.

Shrek Academy has strict admission requirements, requiring students to be no older than twelve years old and have a soul power level of twenty-one or higher. Those with a soul power level of twenty-five or higher are exempt from the preliminary test.

Similarly, Shrek Academy's admission philosophy is to only admit monsters, not ordinary people. This admission philosophy of Shrek Academy sounds reasonable at first glance, but upon closer examination, one can find something fishy about it.

If we categorize newly recruited Soul Masters, there are only two types: ordinary Soul Masters and elite Soul Masters.

Ordinary Soul Masters have ordinary Martial Souls, average talent, and slow cultivation speed, making it almost impossible for them to break through to higher realms in the future.

Elite Soul Masters generally possess extraordinary Martial Souls, with high grades and talents, allowing them to cultivate faster than ordinary people and reach higher realms in the future.

Therefore, Shrek Academy could only enroll a handful of students each year, which indirectly led to a shortage of funds, and ultimately the academy could only be built in the mountains behind Soto City.

"You're saying... that a powerful figure at the Title Douluo level in the Star Dou Great Forest has captured Xiao Wu?"

Dean Flander pushed up his glasses, his brow furrowed as he stared angrily at Zhao Wuji's swollen cheek. "What kind of teacher are you? Don't you know how to protect your own students first?" he said.

Zhao Wuji also looked aggrieved and said, "Boss, I didn't expect there to be a strong person in the valley. These kids thought they were just ordinary Soul Masters... I never imagined..."

Seeing Zhao Wuji's helpless expression, Dean Flander was also speechless, subconsciously frowning as he looked at Yu Xiaogang, the honey badger beside him.

"Xiao Gang, what should we do next... We can't just leave Xiao Wu alone in the Star Dou Great Forest..."

"Besides, she's still a girl. If someone were to act out of lust... wouldn't something irreversible happen?"

Yu Xiaogang also frowned, looked at Zhao Wuji, and asked, "Zhao Wuji, I want to clarify, is the Qin Yuan you mentioned really only a teenager?"

As a wise man in Douluo Continent, Grandmaster has loved studying martial spirits and spirit beasts since childhood, and has created works such as "Ten Core Theories of Martial Spirits" and "Ten Core Competencies of Martial Spirits".

His books are treasured by the Pope of the Spirit Hall and are still displayed in the top shelf of the Spirit Hall's library.

Hearing that a titled Douluo was only a teenager, he was clearly somewhat incredulous.

Zhao Wuji held up three fingers, his face full of certainty, and said, "I'm sure he's just a teenager, and he must have just broken through to level ninety, but the pressure he gives me is no less than that of His Majesty Haotian."

Upon hearing Zhao Wuji's words, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's expression turned solemn. If that were the case, then the possibility of saving Xiaowu would be almost zero.

After all, he was a Title Douluo!

He is also the youngest Title Douluo powerhouse in the Douluo Continent.

With his mere level 29 Chaos Realm cultivation, if he were to ask for Xiao Wu in front of him, he would likely only suffer a fate worse than death.

"Then... what should we do about this... we can't just... give up on Xiaowu, can we?"

Zhao Wuji asked with a grave expression.

Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang also sighed. There was nothing they could do now. They still needed to go to the Heaven Dou Empire and join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

There was simply no time to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to find Xiao Wu.

Even if there is still time, the possibility of bringing Xiao Wu back in front of a Title Douluo powerhouse is almost zero.

Seeing that the master was not willing to take the risk, Zhao Wuji could only look at Flander, but Flander had the same idea as Yu Xiaogang.

There's no need for Shrek Academy to disappear from this world entirely because of a little girl…

Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang looked out the window, put one hand behind his back, and said calmly, "I hope Xiao Wu is safe and sound."

Heavenly Dou Empire, Heavenly Dou City.

Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, personally led Qin Yuan to a private courtyard, which was the most luxurious mansion in the city.

As for the nobles who once lived here, they must have all moved away, and there is still a faint smell of blood in the air.

Qin Yuan, with one hand hovering behind his back, glanced at the bloodstains being cleaned from the wall and said, "Aren't you afraid of displeasing the Heavenly Dou Empire with such bandit-like methods?"

Salas stroked his pale beard and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, rest assured, this mansion was originally planted by the Star Luo Empire's spies. Even if we kill them all, Emperor Xueye won't say anything."

"If Your Majesty doesn't like it, there's another mansion on the next street, also staffed by spies from the Star Luo Empire. Shall we use it...?"

Qin Yuan waved his hand speechlessly and said indifferently, "Forget it, there's no need to clean this place anymore. You can leave now."

Salas nodded in agreement, bowed to Qin Yuan, and said, "This junior understands. If Your Majesty needs anything, you may go directly to the branch hall."
