Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, the seven High Priests all showed strange expressions, which made Qian Renxue very puzzled.
"What's wrong with Xiao Bai? Grandpa?" Qian Renxue frowned.
Qian Daoliu chuckled, "Your Xiao Bai is fine, it's just that a very rare Genius has appeared in Spirit Hall recently, and she and Xiao Bai have become quite close."
Qian Renxue's entire Face crumpled, and a chill emanated from her body: "Quickly tell me what happened."
Qian Renxue couldn't even bother to absorb the god-bestowed spirit ring; she only wanted to know what had happened between Xiao Bai and that person.
Half an hour later.
Qian Renxue finally learned what had happened from her grandpas.
Gu Yuena!
She was raised by Vicious Beasts since childhood. Her Spirit, Silver Dragon, is a pure-blooded True Dragon, possessing the ability to intimidate most Dragon Spirit Beasts, causing them to voluntarily offer themselves in sacrifice.
The Silver Dragon Soul specializes in controlling seven elements, all of which are ultimate attributes and possess an Element Heart.
Gu Yuena herself is extremely beautiful, and like Xiao Bai, she has silver hair.
At twelve years old, she is a Rank 55 Spirit King, and she is suspected to not have a single Spirit Bone on her.
She came to Spirit Hall specifically to find Xiao Bai for a competition.
Although Hu Bai claimed they were just friends, many people outside were already'shipping' them.
The more Qian Renxue listened, the darker her expression became. She felt that her status as a fiancée was somewhat in jeopardy.
Qian Daoliu chuckled and comforted her, "Xue'er, you don't need to be nervous. Xiao Bai truly has no romantic relationship with Gu Yuena; they are merely friends."
Gold Crocodile Douluo also replied, "That's right. We actually tested her in private and found that Gu Yuena might be quite innocent because she grew up in the Star Dou Great Forest, raised by Vicious Beasts. She's very straightforward and doesn't understand anything about ambiguity."
The other High Priests also chimed in, "That's right, those high-level Spirit Beasts aren't as complicated as us humans."
Qian Daoliu also rubbed his forehead: "Actually, their interactions are indeed like friends. It's just that some onlookers outside think they have the same hair color and are both good-looking, so they..."
"Moreover, although you are Xiao Bai's fiancée, you haven't appeared in the public eye for a year."
Qian Renxue snorted, "I'll keep this god-bestowed spirit ring for now and absorb it later. Right now, I'm going to find Xiao Bai. I want to see who dares to steal my man!"
Qian Renxue spread her wings behind her and flew outwards.
Watching Qian Renxue fly away, Gold Crocodile Douluo couldn't help but say, "Big Brother, is this really okay? Are we just going to let things develop like this? Those rumors outside are..."
Qian Daoliu narrowed his eyes and shook his head: "Those rumors are not important. In the relationship between the three of them, Xiao Bai's attitude is actually the most important."
Qian Jun and Jiang Mo said in unison, "Big Brother, what do you mean?"
Qian Daoliu chuckled, "Gu Yuena's appearance might be an opportunity. In my opinion, the emotional foundation between Xue'er and Xiao Bai is not very deep, after all, they have only known each other for two or three years. Xue'er spent almost a year in the Angel Sacred Hall, and they only met once during that time."
Qingluan frowned: "Big Brother, are you trying to use Gu Yuena to provoke Xue'er? What if it backfires? After all, it must be admitted that Gu Yuena is, to some extent, indeed more beautiful than Xue'er."
Guang Ling retorted, "You're being a bit shallow. Falling in love with someone might start with looks, but looks alone aren't enough. You also need to understand their character, values, and so on."
"High looks will eventually fade, and one will eventually tire of them. Take us, for example; we are so old. Would we still want to fall in love, marry, and have children just because someone is very beautiful?"
Qingluan chuckled: "Is that why you don't have a girlfriend or a wife?"
"Moreover, isn't our Big Brother an example? He once thought about pursuing the High Priest of Sea God Island. Oh, by the way, that High Priest seems to also have silver hair. What a coincidence..."
"Cough cough." Gold Crocodile Douluo gave Qingluan a look, telling him to stop talking.
Doesn't Qian Daoliu care about his Face?
Qian Daoliu, however, said, "It's fine, there's nothing to say about this. I was indeed attracted by Posessi's beauty and strength back then. I didn't expect that on this continent, besides Tang Chen and me, there would be someone else who could reach Rank 99."
"But she and I both have our own missions. She cannot leave Sea God Island for too long, and I cannot leave Spirit Hall for too long. The two of us are ultimately unable to be together."
As Qian Daoliu spoke, he looked into the distance, in the direction of Sea God Island, and sighed.
So many years had passed, and he still couldn't let go of Posessi.
The fiery-tempered Lion Douluo couldn't hold back: "Big Brother, tell me, why doesn't Posessi like you, but she likes Tang Chen! In terms of appearance, Spirit Masters with the Seraphim Spirit are never ugly, and while Tang Chen isn't ugly, he can't be called handsome."
"You two are both Rank 99. Although you lost slightly to Tang Chen in your match, that was because you had the pride of an Angel Saint and were unwilling to dodge his Ring Explosion and Great Sumeru Hammer."
"Let alone you, if Posessi were to directly withstand Tang Chen's attack without the help of the sea's power, she would essentially be defeated!"
Qian Daoliu shook his head: "Perhaps... it's because Tang Chen reached Rank 99 through his own strength, without relying on the power of the God's Trial."
"And whether it's me or Posessi, we were able to advance to Rank 99 because we are the High Priest of the Angel God and the High Priestess of the Sea God, respectively, with the blessing of the God's Trial."
"Of course, with our talent, if it weren't for the help of divine force, we could actually still reach Rank 99, but that would probably take a very long time."
"And if you think about it, Tang Chen broke through to Rank 99 by his own power, and his age is not much older than mine or Posessi's."
Qian Daoliu and Posessi were both around 120 years old, while Tang Chen was about thirty years older than them.
However, Qian Daoliu might not have realized that Tang Chen was able to reach the super Douluo at such a young age, perhaps because he also received a God's Trial.
And it wasn't an Angel Eight Trials like his, but the Asura Nine Trials!
Otherwise, how could Tang Chen, at over a hundred years old, reach the Peak of Rank 99?
When Tang Chen first met Qian Daoliu and the others, he should have already passed the Hell Road and obtained the Slaughter God Domain.
At that time, Tang Chen had actually already passed the first trial of the Asura God.
And later, perhaps the Asura God felt that Tang Chen's talent was indeed the strongest on the continent, capable of creating the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method, Ring Explosion, Great Sumeru Hammer, and the Nine Secrets of Clear Sky, a Genius worthy of inheriting his Asura God Trial.
Otherwise, how to explain Tang Chen's situation?
And why didn't Qian Daoliu and Posessi detect the divine aura on Tang Chen at that time?
There could be two explanations.
First, because Tang Chen inherited the Asura Nine Trials, each trial was extremely difficult. When he met Posessi, he might have only completed the first few trials and had not yet reached the point of obtaining the Asura Blood Sword.
And without the recognition of a Divine Artifact, even if he had a God's Trial on him, he wouldn't possess Asura divine force. Coupled with the absence of a Legacy mark on his forehead, he naturally wasn't detected.
Second, it is that the Slaughter God Domain on Tang Chen contained the divine force of the Asura God, and the Asura God concealed the aura of the God's Trial on Tang Chen, not wanting it to be discovered.
Because he might still be waiting, waiting for an even more powerful successor than Tang Chen to appear!
And the fact might indeed be so; after Tang Chen completed the Asura Eighth Trial, he was accidentally Parasite by the Nine-headed Blood Bat.
Generally speaking, parasitic organisms Parasite others because their main body is too weak and needs to borrow the physical strength of others.
This suggests that perhaps the Nine-headed Blood Bat, in terms of individual strength, might not even be as strong as the Ten headed Fierce Yang Serpent of the Hell Road.
And although Tang Chen was injured after completing the eighth trial, he was in Slaughter City, which was the Asura God's base camp.
The place was filled with the power he left behind. Who would believe that it wasn't his intention?
Moreover, after the Nine-headed Blood Bat Parasite Tang Chen and became the Slaughter King, it was able to bestow the Slaughter God Domain upon Bibi Dong, Hu Liena, and Tang San, who later passed the Hell Road!
Without the Asura God's tacit approval, where would he get the Asura divine force to condense the Slaughter God Domain for others?
Qian Renxue left the Hall of Worship and flew directly to the Supreme Pontiff Palace. She didn't know where Hu Bai was at the moment and could only ask her mother.
When Bibi Dong saw Qian Renxue, a look of joy appeared on her Face: "Xue'er, have you completed your first trial?"
Qian Renxue nodded, without wasted words: "Mom, where is Xiao Bai?"
Bibi Dong smiled: "At this time, he should be in the academy's arena. You must have heard about Gu Yuena from your grandpa, which is why you're in such a hurry to come over, right?"
Qian Renxue said, "Xiao Bai isn't with Gu Yuena right now, is he?"
Bibi Dong: "Hmm, they both control elements. Xiao Bai is preparing for his entry into Slaughter City in over a year, constantly practicing and perfecting his self-created element-type Spirit Abilities, and Gu Yuena happens to be a very good helper."
"What? Is our Xue'er jealous?" Bibi Dong's eyes curved, finding it a bit amusing.
Before the appearance of a love rival, although they were engaged, to be honest, their relationship was still very far from the so-called passionate phase.
This engagement was merely in accordance with Qian Daoliu's wishes.
They might be boyfriend and girlfriend, but their time together was too short, and their emotions weren't intense enough.
But Gu Yuena's appearance suddenly gave Qian Renxue a sense of urgency.
Qian Renxue snorted, not answering Bibi Dong's question, and left the Supreme Pontiff Palace directly, flying towards the Spirit Hall Academy not far away.
Bibi Dong's lips curved slightly; now there would be a good show to watch.
All of them were too young to understand what love was. Perhaps Gu Yuena's appearance this time was a good thing.
At the same time, Bibi Dong also felt a bit troubled and sighed.
Hu Bai's Spirit, Nine-tailed Sky Fox, brought him increasingly powerful abilities with the improvement of his strength.
This refers not only to elemental control and the nine Divine Artifacts.
But also Hu Bai's Charm power!
It is unknown whether it is because the inherent Charm power of the Nine-tailed Sky Fox, as Hu Bai's cultivation increased, caused him to inadvertently exude an invisible Charm, like a male succubus.
To call it Charm isn't quite right; to be precise, it should be temperament?
The Spirit not only endowed Hu Bai with a top-tier appearance but also elevated his temperament to its Peak.
This Charm power, at the same Rank, is unmatched by Hu Liena, a Spirit Master specializing in mental force, unless she actively uses one or two Spirit Abilities.
It's also possible that as Hu Bai's cultivation improved, the spirit ring and Spirit Bone granted by the million-year Spirit Beast Tianmeng Iceworm began to display their rightful level of ability.
Tianmeng Iceworm's offensive abilities might be very, very weak at the same Rank.
But his auxiliary abilities and the boost to Hu Bai's mental force are absolutely immense!
The million-year spirit ring and million-year Spirit Bone, as his cultivation improved, began to release their Seal, continuously feeding back to Hu Bai.
And the strength of Charm, besides being greatly related to one's own appearance, is also closely related to mental force.
The higher the mental force, the stronger all abilities such as Charm, mental control, and illusion creation will become!
Although Hu Bai had no intention of actively releasing his mental force, the aura he usually emitted was enough to captivate the Spirit Masters in the academy who were weaker than him, especially the female Spirit Masters.
Not to mention those unwanted admirers, but talented students in Spirit Hall, such as Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Water Binger, all held varying degrees of goodwill towards Hu Bai.
Bibi Dong shook her head; her Disciple's immense Charm didn't seem to be a good thing, and her daughter's pressure would be great.
In just one short year, the changes were so significant.
It is worth mentioning that during these four months.
Even if the Heaven Dou Empire was unwilling, for the sake of appearances and to avoid disheartening its people, it had to grit its teeth and hand over the ransom to Spirit Empire.
If they didn't pay, it wouldn't just be the loss of tens of thousands of Heaven Dou soldiers, but the remaining 800,000 troops of the Empire would become unstable, even leading to internal strife.
And in these four months, not only did Tianshui City completely belong to the Spirit Empire, but even Chihuo City, Shenfeng City, Lei Ting City, and their surrounding small cities all submitted to the Spirit Empire!
Thunder Academy in Lei Ting City had been forcibly disbanded by the Spirit Empire, and the dean of Thunder Academy and the lord of Lei Ting City were both killed by the Spirit Empire!
These two, one was considered a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the other was from the Heaven Dou Empire.
They had to pay the price for their previous support of the Heaven Dou Empire!
And the Strength Clan, after the last battle, had basically vanished. Most of their clansmen perished in that battle, and the few who didn't come had already been placed on the Spirit Empire's kill list!
