Douluo Continent: Martial Soul - Agave, Self-created Earth God Position

The Spirit Hall, the Papal Palace.

Night had fallen, but the main hall was brightly lit.

At the highest point, on the papal throne, Qian Xunji rested his chin on one hand, seemingly taking a nap.

Light footsteps came from the entrance of the palace.

Ju Douluo Yueguan knelt on one knee, his voice respectful: "Your Holiness, the operation to exterminate the Fallen in the Star Dou Great Forest stronghold has been completed."

"This is a detailed post-war report."

Qian Xunji slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was calm, without much emotional fluctuation, and he simply uttered two words: "Nian".

Chrysanthemum Douluo read quickly: "Your Holiness the Pope, our outer stronghold in the Star Dou Great Forest has been attacked by a large-scale attack from the Fallen."

"The Fallen Ones mobilized more than 200 people, who surrounded the stronghold from multiple directions."

"The results are as follows: 187 Fallen Ones were killed and 14 were captured (all of whom have been identified, most of whom were low to mid-level Fallen Ones, and the core members have not been captured).

"Our side has lost dozens of Soul Masters, over a dozen Soul Kings, and several Soul Emperors..."

The hall remained quiet for a long time.

Qian Xunji still rested his chin on one hand, his face revealing neither joy nor anger.

Finally, he spoke.

The voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable air of authority: "More than two hundred people, just thrown away like that, without even blinking an eye."

"It seems that among the fallen, there are a few ruthless characters who are willing to go to great lengths."

"By the way, what about that little guy? I heard he was also caught up in the Fallen Ones' attack."

Chihiro was somewhat interested.

"Yes, my disciple Sabo and a Soul Master teamed up to kill a Soul King."

"According to that Soul Master, Sabo played a crucial role in killing that Fallen Soul King."

"He used a special soul skill to blind the Soul King, and then the two of them attacked together, barely managing to win."

Sitting in his seat, Qian Xunji clapped his hands. "Not bad, commendable courage. An ordinary Soul Master plus a Great Soul Master is no match for a Fallen Soul King."

"When he awakened his martial soul a few years ago, his innate soul power was only level three!"

Qianxun rubbed her temples.

"Now that I have cultivated to the level of a Great Soul Master, I am calm and resourceful in the face of enemies."

"Yue Guan, I have already approved of his performance and willpower."

Chrysanthemum Douluo hurriedly spoke up: "Your Holiness, that's what I was planning too, but he's still recovering from his injuries. We'll talk about it after he's healed."

"I will send someone to inform him."

"That's all for today. We still need to prepare for the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony in a while..."

After he finished speaking, Kiku and Kiku withdrew first.

-----------------

A week later, Sabo hurriedly arrived at the gate of Wuhun City.

"Brother Qin Ming, are you really unwilling to stay in the Spirit Hall?"

"With the resources of the Spirit Hall and your talent, you could have easily become a Soul Douluo, or even a Title Douluo, much earlier..."

"No need, Sabo, I'm used to being free."

"Besides, my level has already exceeded the graduation requirements of the Advanced Soul Master Academy, and I also want to venture out onto the continent!"

"My teacher, Flander, met them during his adventures across the continent!"

Qin Ming turned his head and pointed to Li Yusong and the others who were waiting on the side.

"Alright, Brother Qin Ming, I won't insist. I wish you a safe journey."

"Let's keep in touch."

Qin Ming nodded, and the two embraced each other in the sunset.

See you later!

Sabo waved his large hand at the city gate. Qin Ming turned and left.

"Alright, I thought I could trick Qin Ming into studying experiments with me!"

"I'll stay in the academy's dormitory one more night tonight, and tomorrow I'll move into His Majesty Chrysanthemum Douluo's courtyard."

Sabo skipped and hopped back to his dorm.

The next morning, Sabo moved his belongings out of the dormitory and temporarily placed them downstairs.

The dormitory supervisor saw this and told him, "The adults have already told me that this dormitory will be your private dormitory from now on."

"No one else will be staying here, so you can rest assured. There's no need to move everything out."

"Okay!" Sabo was an easy-going person.

He chose to keep some items in his dormitory.

He carried other items with him.

He left the school gate and climbed the steps leading up the mountain.

Step by step, we arrived at Chrysanthemum Douluo's courtyard.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's courtyard was hidden in an inconspicuous corner of the back mountain of the Spirit Hall. If someone hadn't led the way, Sabo would have almost thought he had gone to the wrong place.

The courtyard gate was made of bamboo, a short door covered with light pink morning glories.

Sabo seemed a little reserved, lingering at the door.

"Come in, little one! The door's open."

Sabo gently pushed the bamboo door open, and a soft creaking sound filled the air, releasing a delicate floral fragrance.

He stepped over the threshold, then stopped in his tracks.

The courtyard is small, but it's a hidden gem.

The path paved with bluestone slabs is winding and lined with flowers of various colors.

Golden, snow-white, dark purple, jade-like... some are in full bloom, while others are still buds.

The flowers are arranged in varying heights and layers, with a few oddly shaped stones dotting the landscape, covered with a thin layer of moss.

In the center of the courtyard stands an old locust tree, its canopy spreading out a dense shade.

There was a stone table and two stone stools under the tree, with a white porcelain teapot and two cups on the table.

"What are you standing there for? Come on in!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo waved to Sabo, "See that house over there? That's where you'll be living from now on."

"Go and put your luggage down quickly..."

Sabo nodded in agreement and carried his luggage into his room.

Ghost Douluo, standing to the side, didn't speak, but instead drank the tea in his cup in one gulp.

He then took the teapot and refilled Ah Guan's tea.

"Old ghost, is there anything else?"

"Your Majesty, the things are all put away. When shall we...?"

"Your Majesty? Call me Teacher! This is... You can call me Teacher Kiku, and he can be called Teacher Oni."

Sabo immediately knelt down, "Your disciple greets your two teachers."

"Alright, get up quickly." Kikuzuki Kan hurriedly called for Sabo to get up.

Ghost Douluo turned his head away, "Ah Guan, I never said I would be this little guy's teacher..."

Sabo clenched his fists, placed them horizontally in front of his mouth, and exclaimed, "Wow!!!!!"

I never expected that the usually taciturn Ghost Douluo would act like this in front of Teacher Ju.

"Bo'er, may I call you that? That's what Old Ghost calls him..."

After some time, Sabo and Kikuki became quite familiar with each other.

Ghost is no longer as reserved as he was when Sabo first arrived.

Sometimes the three of them would comb each other's hair...

-----------------

The annual awakening ceremony for the offspring of high-ranking officials is about to end.

"I will personally conduct the upcoming awakening ceremony and lead these children down with me!"

"Yes!" The bishop led the children back.

Several figures suddenly appeared.

It turned out to be the Qian family, consisting of three generations, and the Jin family, consisting of two generations (the Jin Crocodile Douluo is set to have the surname Jin!).

In fact, the awakening ceremony of the "two sisters" Qianrenxue did not need to be held here.

Just awaken in the Douluo Palace.

But they only came here at Qianrenxue's request.

If she goes to the Douluo Palace, she will never see her beloved mother again.

She cheered herself up, "Come on, awaken a good martial soul, and Mom won't hate me anymore."
