They certainly knew who the overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest was.

This thing is far superior to those ancient artifacts found outside.

After thinking about it, Yue Guan wasn't surprised.

Yang Jian's first four spirit rings were all ten thousand years long, and the fourth ring came from a Titan Giant Ape that was ninety-nine thousand nine hundred years old. It was only natural that he chose a one hundred thousand year long spirit ring for his fifth spirit ring.

“Yue Guan,” Bibi Dong looked at him, “you will stay with Yang Jian and protect him closely. If he shows any interest in hunting for a spirit ring, inform me immediately. I will personally help him hunt it down.”

"Yes." Yue Guan cupped his hands, his expression becoming solemn.

He taught Yang Jian for six whole years, watching that thin and pale little boy grow up step by step to where he is today, and he had long regarded him as his own family.

A twelve-year-old Soul King, whose first four Soul Rings are all ten thousand years, and whose goal for the fifth Soul Ring is one hundred thousand years. Once such talent is exposed, what will those unstable forces think?

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, Clear Sky School...

They will not stand idly by and watch the Spirit Hall produce another unparalleled genius.

There's a high probability that someone will intervene and nip it in the bud.

Yue Guan's gaze gradually sharpened.

He must protect Yang Jian and not give anyone an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Don't worry too much.

Ghost noticed his old friend's expression, and the black mist rippled slightly.

He and Yue Guan had worked together for many years.

Naturally, one can guess what the other person is thinking.

He rarely spoke, but he said something long: "Don't underestimate Yang Jian just because he's only level 50. In terms of combat power, he's probably not much weaker than an ordinary Title Douluo."

Yue Guan was stunned for a moment, then remembered Yang Jian's monstrous physical strength and the exaggerated weight of the three-pointed double-edged sword, and the solemn look on his face immediately faded a bit.

He shook his head with a self-deprecating laugh: "That's right, that kid really doesn't need me to worry about him too much."

Bibi Dong listened to their conversation and her brows furrowed slightly.

For the past six years, she has been undergoing the divine test of the Rakshasa God, and at the same time, she has also had to deal with the mountain of affairs piled up in the Spirit Hall, so she has hardly paid attention to Yang Jian's cultivation.

Why does it sound like Yue Guan and Gui Mei are talking about this now...?

"Are you saying that Yang Jian can now go toe-to-toe with a Title Douluo?"

Bibi Dong's tone carried a hint of doubt.

Upon hearing this, Yue Guan smiled slightly.

A hint of pride flashed in his eyes as he stepped forward, making no attempt to hide his admiration.

"Your Holiness may not know this, but I just tested Yang Jian a while ago, and his current physical strength is comparable to that of an ordinary Title Douluo."

"Like that old poisoner."

"In terms of physical strength alone, even the old poison master can't compare to Yang Jian."

Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes slightly.

Yue Guan continued, "And his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Sword Martial Soul now weighs 50,000 jin. Your Majesty, can you imagine what it means to strike with a 50,000-jin weapon, plus the amplification of four Soul Skills?"

"An ordinary Title Douluo could be killed on the spot if he is not careful."

"Moreover, I always felt that the kid was holding back."

Chapter 26 Departure, Homecoming

The hall was quiet for a moment.

A complex emotion flashed in Bibi Dong's purple eyes.

At twelve years old, his physical body was comparable to that of a Title Douluo, his martial soul weighed 50,000 jin, and he was empowered by four ten-thousand-year soul rings...

Such a genius is absolutely capable of carrying the banner of the Spirit Hall after me.

"By the way, what's the relationship between Yang Jian and Nana like?"

Bibi Dong suddenly changed the subject, "Have you progressed to being boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Guan's smile became somewhat subtle.

Not yet.

"In my opinion, Nana definitely has that in mind."

"As for Yang Jian..."

He shrugged, not finishing his sentence.

Bibi Dong probably understood.

It seems I'll have to give Yang a push once he gets back from rehearsing.

We should also formally accept him as our personal disciple.

……

Meanwhile, Yang Jian was on her way back to the courtyard.

The flowers and trees on both sides of the bluestone road are in full bloom, and a gentle breeze carries their delicate fragrance.

"Yang Jian".

Suddenly a familiar voice came from the side.

Yang Jian turned his head and saw Xie Yue slowly approaching from another side road.

After several years, Xie Yue had grown considerably taller. His short silver hair remained as aloof as ever, but his brows now held a touch of maturity.

“Senior Brother Xie Yue.” Yang Jian stopped in his tracks.

The two greeted each other and walked forward side by side.

Xie Yue looked at the boy beside her who was half a head taller than her, and then remembered that the other party was much shorter than her six years ago, and felt a mix of emotions.

As Hu Liena's brother, Xie Yue was naturally aware of his sister's feelings for Yang Jian.

To be honest, he had no complaints about Yang Jian.

His talent, temperament, and ability are all impeccable.

This kid just doesn't seem to get it when it comes to relationships.

Xie Yue recalled his younger sister's angry yet helpless expression every time Yang Jian was mentioned, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Didn't Nana just come looking for you?" Xie Yue snapped out of her thoughts and asked casually, "Why are you here alone?"

"I need to go out and gain some experience for a while," Yang Jian answered truthfully. "I just told my teacher, and I'll go back and pack my things before leaving."

Xie Yue nodded knowingly.

"Be careful. Nana, Yan, and I are preparing to participate in the Spirit Hall's elite training program, aiming to break through to the Soul King level in a few years. We'll spar again when you come back."

"Okay." Yang Jian nodded.

The two walked for a while longer when Yang Jian suddenly remembered something and casually asked, "By the way, what has Yan been up to lately? It's been so long since I've seen him."

Xie Yue paused slightly, a somewhat helpless expression on his face.

“Him…” Xie Yue sighed, “Ever since that incident six years ago, he has been cultivating like a madman. He goes to the martial arts arena before dawn and doesn’t come back until dark. His personality has also changed a lot. He doesn’t like to talk anymore, and he’s always gloomy.”

"I guess you've left him with a bad impression."

Yang Jian responded with an "oh" and didn't say anything more.

He didn't have a good impression of Yan.

Anyway, it's best not to mess with yourself anymore.

Otherwise, we'll have to teach this guy another lesson.

……

After saying goodbye to Xie Yue and returning to the courtyard, Yang Jian packed his luggage.

In fact, there is nothing to deal with.

It's nothing more than a few changes of clothes.

He put the items into a ring-shaped storage soul tool and was about to go out when he saw Yue Guan walk in from outside the courtyard.

"Ready?" Yue Guan glanced at him.

"Ah."

"Then let's go. His Holiness the Pope has ordered me to protect you personally."

Yang Jian did not refuse.

After all, having another Title Douluo by his side would make things much easier for him.

The two walked out of the courtyard and headed towards the gate of the Spirit Hall along the bluestone path.

I met quite a few people on the way.

"Brother Jian! Want to go for tea together?"

"Brother Jian, are you going out?"

"Brother Jian, remember to come visit us when you get back!"

Most of them were students who had witnessed that battle at the training ground six years ago.

Over the past six years, they have made numerous trips to visit Yang Jian and invite him to various gatherings and events.

Yang Jian responded with a smile, neither appearing cold nor overly enthusiastic.

He knew it in his heart.

These people did so because they demonstrated sufficient talent and ability.

So they want to curry favor with me.

But he didn't mind.
