In Douluo Continent, I was being chased by the Silver Dragon King at the very beginning.

"You've finally deigned to come see an old man like me." Qian Daoliu glared at him angrily. "After being in a coma for over ten years, the first thing you did upon waking up wasn't to come see me."

Qian Xunhan's whereabouts could not escape his notice.

This kid has a family now and has forgotten about his father.

"Father, is Mother still alive?" Qian Xunhan lowered his head slightly. "Just recently, I felt an indescribable palpitation in my heart, it was very painful."

"Mother……"

Qian Daoliu's face instantly turned ashen. "Impossible."

"Her cultivation level is not much different from mine, it's impossible for her to have perished..."

Both he and Poseidon were guardians of the divine throne, but she was different from Tang Chen. Therefore, when she left, Qian Daoliu knew that she wanted to seek the divine throne and become a god.

More than twenty years have passed since that day, and Yueyan has been gone for more than twenty years. Qian Daoliu actually misses her very much.

However, as she said, Qian Daoliu was a very cowardly person.

He dared not look into his own heart, and he did not even express his love.

He always kept these emotions hidden inside, making them impossible for others to understand.

At this moment, Qiandao Flu felt regret.

If he had explained things clearly to Yueyan from the beginning, she wouldn't have made that decision.

“Father, this is Mother’s choice, and I think she doesn’t regret it.”

There was sadness in Qianxunhan's eyes.

Everyone makes choices, just like Xue Di resolutely parted ways with him more than 20 years ago.

Qian Xunhan had long been accustomed to all kinds of partings, and her heart had long since become quiet.

The thought of not being able to sense her mother's presence still caused Qian Xunhan's heart to ache.

"You can't control this, just let nature take its course."

Qian Daoliu's eyes were filled with sorrow, and his face looked much older. He was too weak to care about his appearance, and his heart was filled with desolation.

He couldn't leave with her.

He has his own responsibilities.

"This is our fate."

Upon learning of Yueyan's unfortunate news from Qianxunhan, Qiandaoliu was filled with mixed emotions.

He always hoped that Yueyan would be alright, so that he could see her one or two more times before he died.

He no longer asks for anything else. In the end, it is he who has wronged Yueyan.

“Mother must have found the divine successor, but I don’t know if she succeeded. That palpitation felt like a warning…”

He trusted his intuition, so he was very worried about Yueyan's safety. The inheritance of a divine position was something that could not be sought after.

The fact that his mother, Yueyan, was able to encounter a divine successor shows that she was very lucky.

"Don't worry," Qian Daoliu said calmly, his expression returning to normal. "Whether she succeeds or not depends on her will."

“Our generation was a failed generation, and I don’t want you to repeat the same mistakes. Also, I see hope in you.”

Qian Xunhan broke and created countless records, leaving his heart in awe.

He can accomplish what they cannot.

If this generation can't finish it, then let the next generation do it.

"I don't believe in fate." Qian Xunhan's voice turned cold instantly. "Everyone talks about fate, and she also said that we believe in fate."

"But I have never seen fate. If fate is predetermined and cannot be changed, why should we know about it? What exactly is the word 'fate'? No one can tell me, and no one can answer it."

"Perhaps we shouldn't believe in fate; betting everything on fate is a mistake. The sacrifices of the Spirit Race over the past ten thousand years prove that fate doesn't necessarily have to be followed."

Qian Xunhan's question echoed in the Elder Hall.

Qian Xunji and Lingxi defied fate by falling in love decades ago. This daughter of the Ling Clan Chief inherited the highest level of martial spirit bloodline in the Ling Clan's history of ten thousand years.

Qian Renyan's martial spirit was inherited from her, and she received a divinely bestowed martial spirit due to her bloodline.

Twin martial souls are actually just a result of bloodline issues.

“If she truly believed in fate, she wouldn’t have fled that place and stayed with her older brother.”

Qian Xunhan's eyes were filled with helplessness. "The Spirit Clan does not allow intermarriage with other clans. In order to ensure the purity of the bloodline, she had no way out after she fell in love with her elder brother."

"Once the Spirit Clan discovers her whereabouts, she will only face a lifetime of imprisonment."

She believes in fate, yet she doesn't obey it; isn't that going against fate?

“This is different…” Qian Daoliu sighed, his aged voice ringing out, “Fate is very difficult to change.”

"Lingxi escaped from there at the cost of her life and freedom, and she considers Douluo Continent her home. It takes determination to do that. We will not interfere in their past."

"Tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament. Is Yan'er ready?"

"She... is preparing to show off her skills at the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament and kill Tang San."

……

Qian Renxue led Qian Renyan to the Spirit Hall Academy. This advanced spirit master academy, founded in the name of the Spirit Hall, is the premier academy on the entire continent.

The only institutions that can compare to it now are the Royal Academy of the Star Luo Empire and the Royal Academy of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Apart from that, the Five Elements Academy is far superior.

This place serves as a cradle for geniuses from humble backgrounds, nurturing countless talents. It doesn't value family lineage or bloodline; it values ​​talent and strength.

As long as your soul power is strong enough, you will be the most famous in the Spirit Hall Academy. Of course, you will also receive the most resources.

Where geniuses gather, resources become even more scarce. Most resources are poured into top geniuses, leaving only a small portion for the general public, resulting in severe polarization within the Spirit Hall Academy.

Qian Renxue didn't want her to see these dark sides; she only wanted to preserve her sister's innocence.

She led Qian Renyan through more than a dozen martial soul simulation training grounds, finally stopping at a fire-attribute martial soul simulation training ground.

Her gaze fell ahead, where three young men stood.

They looked to be in their early twenties, but they exuded a very imposing aura.

They felt the gazes on them and turned to look at them.

"Little Lord."

Hu Liena was the first to perform the etiquette, "May I ask what brings you here, young master?"

Her beautiful eyes were filled with shock; it was the first time she had seen Qian Renxue at the Spirit Hall Academy.

Given this young master's cultivation level, he shouldn't be coming to the Spirit Hall Academy.

"Of course it's something important." Qian Renxue held Qian Renyan's hand. "This is my cousin, Qian Renyan."

"She's not much older than you, just the right age to participate in the Continental Elite Soul Master Competition. So she'll be in charge of this competition, and you'll be her mentors. As for the remaining three, you can choose them yourselves."

The Spirit Hall is not lacking in geniuses, and she believes she can gather seven teammates in just one day.

"There's no need to go to too much trouble to find a support type. A combination of defense and offense types might not be worse than a support type plus an offense type."

Qian Renxue spoke nonchalantly, putting immense pressure on them.

Her few simple words were enough to keep Hu Liena and the other two busy for a while, but the time limit was very short.

"Understood," Hu Liena replied readily. "Then, does Young Master Yan require our cooperation?"

"Half a day is enough for us to get to know each other."

A team needs time to gel, and they only had half a day left to train.

For the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament, the Spirit Hall specially created a circular arena located in the center of Spirit City. This arena has a radius of about 100 meters and is the largest project undertaken by the Spirit Hall.

The arena is reinforced with a large number of soul tools to ensure its safety and protect it from fluctuations in soul power. The Spirit Hall states that the arena can withstand the soul power fluctuations of soul masters below the Title Douluo level.

The entire competition took place on this arena. To accommodate this, the Spirit Hall implemented a ticket system, allowing a limited number of spectators.

Therefore, tickets for this competition were resold at exorbitant prices. Of course, this competition is open to all, regardless of status, as long as you have the money to buy a ticket.

Directly in front of the stage is the Papal Palace.

The Pope watches the competition, but only the top three finishers receive her awards.

The contestants all arrived, and their team leaders came up to draw lots. This draw was conducted in front of all the spectators.

Shrek Academy drew Blazing Academy this time, but the academy withdrew, which made them happy. They had a bye in the competition, so they came to watch.

Not long after the opening ceremony of the competition ended, the Shenfeng Advanced Soul Master Academy, represented by Feng Xiaotian, came into the view of the Shrek Academy students.

They were all surprised because Huo Wu and the others from Blazing Fire Academy had all come from Divine Wind Academy.

They formed a new Kamikaze Academy team, quickly defeated the opposing team, and successfully advanced to the second round.

Upon seeing their lineup, the Shrek Seven Devils all looked grim. No wonder someone as honor-driven as Huo Wu was willing to forfeit the match; it turned out she was waiting for them here.

Flander, the dean of Shrek Academy, went to ask, and returned with a grim expression, explaining the reason to them.

Shenfeng Academy and Chihuo Academy exploited a loophole in the rules of the Continental Elite Soul Master Competition, which allowed them to form a completely new Shenfeng.

Furthermore, the Heaven Dou Empire has not raised any objections. Since the Divine Wind Academy belongs to the Heaven Dou Empire, the stronger they are, the greater their contribution to the Heaven Dou Empire.

From the perspective of self-interest, Xue Haicang and Xue Qinghe, who came from the Heavenly Dou Empire, tacitly approved of their actions.

The first two rounds of the competition ended quickly, and the top ten of the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament were determined.

The third round of matches is between the Spirit Hall Advanced Soul Master Academy and the Heaven Dou Empire Royal Soul Master Academy, and between Shrek Academy Advanced Soul Master Academy and the Star Luo Empire Royal Academy...

Two seeded teams met, and Shrek Academy faced off against another seeded team.

The third round was even more intense.

After the Shrek Academy finished their match, Yu Tianheng stood in the corridor and said something to them, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Shrek Academy students.

Then, a golden figure appeared before everyone's eyes.

Tang San's pupils contracted slightly; it was the young master of the Spirit Hall from that day.
