Chapter 2830 Background_1

After Qin Ming left, Meng Shenji's expression finally returned to calm...

Glancing sideways at Bai Baoshan beside him, he inquired, "Based on Qin Ming's words, what do you think of this Xu Sheng?"

Bai Baoshan replied without hesitation, "Very outstanding, but there is a prerequisite, he truly defeated Yu Tianheng without employing his Martial Soul; otherwise, it would be meaningless!"

Meng Shenji nodded in agreement, "Hmm, that's what I think too. If it's true, and he didn't utilize any unconventional methods, it would be possible to invite this Xu Sheng to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy for focused training."

Stroking his beard, Bai Baoshan remarked with a sigh, "Let's wait until we find this Xu Sheng to discuss these matters. Since he showed up at the soul fighting arena, he surely doesn't want his identity to be known by others!"

Meng Shenji pursed his lips, "That's true. So, will you take care of this matter or shall I?"

But Bai Baoshan, unhurried as ever, stretched lazily and casually said, "We don't need to do anything. Just wait here honestly and trust in Zhi Lin's efficiency!"

If nothing goes wrong, there should be news in a day or two!

...

Several days later!

Zhi Lin, having investigated information about Xu Sheng, informed Meng Shenji and Bai Baoshan of the specifics...

After listening, the two of them had a sudden change in expression...

Meng Shenji couldn't help but exclaim, "Zhi Lin, are you sure you're not joking?"

This information was indeed explosive!

It made his own heartbeat quicken quite a bit!

Upon hearing this, Zhi Lin responded with a cold expression, "How could I possibly joke about such an important matter. The information I've brought to you has been confirmed multiple times!"

Bai Baoshan took a deep breath and suggested, "If that's the case, it seems we must inform Qin Ming and have him abandon the search for Xu Sheng!"

"Otherwise, it might bring about unnecessary trouble!!"

Zhi Lin glanced at him, "Don't worry. The moment I got the news, I sent someone to notify him. It looks like he should be arriving soon!"

As expected, after waiting for more than ten minutes, Qin Ming's figure finally appeared...

He greeted them with a respectful fist-and-palm salute, "Qin Ming pays his respects to the three commissioners!!"

It seems that the real identity of Xu Sheng has been ascertained; otherwise, the three commissioners would not have notified me to come here.

Meng Shenji nodded slightly, "Teacher Qin, no need for formalities. The reason you were asked to come here is simple, it's about Xu Sheng's identity, which we have nearly figured out!"

Zhi Lin and Bai Baoshan nodded in unison, though their expressions clearly weren't looking too good...

Sensing something was off, Qin Ming couldn't resist asking, "Commissioners, your expressions seem a bit off. Could it be that... Xu Sheng's identity is complex?"

Meng Shenji swallowed hard, a wry smile on his face, "Xu Sheng's identity is not just complex, it's downright terrifying!!"

"Teacher Qin, I hope you're prepared for this!"

Qin Ming's eyes deepened, and he thought to himself, "A background that terrifies the three commissioners... could it be, the upper three families?"

No, that shouldn't be possible!

The Hao Tian Clan had already gone into seclusion, so it was impossible for any Sect Disciple to be wandering outside!

The disciples of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect were all support-class Soul Masters, who, no matter how much they trained, lacked such strong combat abilities!

As for the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect, there was no need to mention it. Tian Heng himself came from this sect. If a prodigy like Xu Sheng existed, it couldn't have gone unnoticed!

Then, the power that could overshadow even the upper three families...

At this thought, three words inadvertently escaped his mouth, "Spirit Hall!"

Meng Shenji looked slightly surprised, but still affirmed, "Correct, as Teacher Qin said, this Xu Sheng is indeed from Spirit Hall!"

"Of course, if it was just that, we wouldn't be so troubled; the key issue is that this Xu Sheng is also a direct disciple of the current Pope Bibi Dong, a member of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation!"

Qin Ming's mouth fell open in shock, "A member of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation, and even the direct disciple of the Pope."

In just two sentences, it had been proven that Xu Sheng defeated Yu Tianheng through his own strength, not with the aid of external objects!

Without releasing his Martial Soul, he could easily defeat Tian Heng; how strong would he be if he did release his Martial Soul?

Bai Baoshan continued, "When we found out, we were also very surprised, because Spirit Hall had never revealed Xu Sheng's existence, and even those geniuses of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation did not receive this treatment!"

"Therefore, we can be sure that Xu Sheng's talent is so outstanding that it needs to be kept secret!"

Zhi Lin coldly said, "Teacher Qin, I've already been warned by Spirit Hall for investigating Xu Sheng!"

"So, I advise you not to delve further into this matter, lest you bring disaster upon yourself!"

Provoking that Pope would mean that even the Heaven Dou Royal Academy couldn't protect the former!

Qin Ming tried his best to calm his emotions and said with a clasped fist, "I have troubled the three committee members; I, Qin Ming, will certainly not cause any trouble for the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"

Since he couldn't start with Xu Sheng, he had to find another way to guide Tian Heng!

...

Inside the Pope Hall!

Yueguan narrowed his eyes in anger and rebuked, "Humph, those committee members from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy are really bold, daring to send people to investigate our Spirit Hall!"

Gui Mei spoke with murderous intent, "In my opinion, we cannot let this slide; we must teach them a lesson!"

Bi Bidong said expressionlessly, "What do you want to do?"

Gui Mei subconsciously replied, "Your Holiness, let me kill that Zhi Lin; that'll remind the Heaven Dou Royal Academy what they should and shouldn't do!"

If I take action myself, I will definitely not leave any evidence behind!

Even if Heaven Dou Royal Academy suspects that it was the work of Spirit Hall, they won't have any proof!

Bi Bidong chuckled coldly, "Killing Zhi Lin, a Soul Douluo, is indeed not difficult; the trouble is how to deal with that Xue Ye!"

"As the emperor of the Tiandou Empire, how could he tolerate another power acting within the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"

"Even without evidence, it would still bring me quite a bit of trouble!"

Gui Mei lowered his head, "Your Holiness, I did not consider it thoroughly."

Bi Bidong waved her hand unconcernedly, "Never mind; even if we really killed Zhi Lin, that trifling matter does not bother me!"

"However, Yueguan, Gui Mei, the two of you should personally check who leaked Xu Sheng's information!"

Yueguan and Gui Mei exchanged glances, then spoke in unison, "Your Holiness, if we find out, then?"

The former's tone suddenly changed, "Of course, kill them!"

Xu Sheng, as Spirit Hall's trump card to win the Continental Elite Soul Masters Championship, had been exposed prematurely...

How could she not be furious...

Without any objection from Yueguan and the others, they responded, "Yes, Your Holiness, give us one day, and we will tear the informer into a thousand pieces!"
