The Pope's Palace!
On top of the high throne, a woman silently seated.
She had a stunningly beautiful face, skin like snow, long beautiful wine-red hair, snow-white palms clutching a golden scepter, wearing a luxurious coronet, elegant and imposing, it was none other than the supreme ruler of the Martial Soul Hall, Pope Bibi dong.
"Your Holiness, there is news from the main hall of the Barak Kingdom!" A cardinal knelt in the hall, holding a letter in his hand!
"Present it!" The Pope's lips were softly opened, but her cold voice was full of authority!
At the end of the sentence, a man dressed in a flowery chrysanthemum style garment took the letter from the Cardinal and respectfully handed it to Bibi dong.
She took the letter in her hands and read it with her gorgeous eyes!
"Thud!" It was the sound of the scepter hitting the ground, Bibi Dong's face looked indifferent, and there was unspeakable anger in her eyes, " Phoenix Rising Village has been slaughtered!"
Bibi dong's tone was light, but it was like a shattering sound, causing all the people in the hall to shake!
"What!" The crowd looked in disbelief, knowing that Phoenix Rising Village is the hometown of the reigning Pope, how could someone dare to massacre Phoenix Rising Village?
"Your Holiness, what are the casualties?" The man in chrysanthemum attire on the side asked.
"All the men, old and weak, died, and only a few women and children survived!" There is fury in Bibi Dong's tone, it is true that she has no attachment to Phoenix Rising Village, but it is still her homeland, and this is a slap in her face.
"I wonder what kind of madman would dare to do such a heinous deed?" The man then spoke with anger in his voice, this act was also a challenge to the majesty of the Martial Soul Hall.
"Who else could it be? Of course, it's those evil spirit masters, and the letter also said that the evil spirit masters' target is not just the Phoenix Rising Village, this is an act of well-planned revenge!"
Bibi dong's gaze turned stern, "Yue Guan, I'll leave this to you, make sure to kill all those evil spirit masters and leave no one behind!"
"Yue Guan takes his order!" The man dressed in chrysanthemum robes bent down, and it turned out that he is the Martial Soul Hall's famous Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan.
"The letter mentions that it was a deacon from the Fasno main hall and a small child called Lu Yuan who killed those evil spirit masters and saved those women and children, what should be done about this matter?" Bibi Dong's gaze shifted across the room.
"I wonder what the strength of these two is?" Yue Guan asked.
"That deacon is a fifty-second level Spirit King with the martial spirit Gale Raging Lion, age forty-eight; that young boy called Lu Yuan is a level fifteen Spirit Master with the martial spirit Golden Dragon, age six, and is said to be an innate full soul power." Bibi dong said indifferently.
"Your Holiness, Yue Guan thinks that deacon should not be concerned, just hand out some rewards at will, but that child called Lu Yuan has amazing talent, we should cultivate him vigorously!"
"That is a valid point, the Golden Dragon is a legendary martial spirit, extremely powerful, we should take such a talent into our own hands!" An old man in black on Bibi dong's left also spoke out.
"Then send this Lu Yuan into the genius training camp, if he can win the selection competition in three months, he will be the second disciple under this seat." Bibi dong said indifferently.
"Respect the coronation's order!" The crowd did not object to Bibi dong's words, the Genius Training Camp is a special training camp set up by the Martial Soul Hall to recruit children under the age of ten, specifically to select talents for the Martial Soul Hall, there will be a selection tournament every three years, this year happens to be the year when the selection tournament begins.
...
After several days of travelling, Lu Yuan and Xu Fei finally arrived at Martial Soul City!
"Martial Soul City is so prosperous!" Lu Yuan couldn't help but speak out in admiration, he had seen many prosperous cities along the way, but even the capital of the Heavenly Dou Empire was a little inferior to the Martial Soul City in front of him.
"This is the holy city for all of us, spirit masters, after all!" Xu Fei said with a look of reverence.
Lu Yuan did not deny it, Xu Fei's words were indeed true, those so-called sects aside, the civilian spirit masters of the world still held very high respect for Martial Soul City.
"Where are we going now? Head straight to the Martial Soul Hall?" Lu Yuan asked.
"No, we'll go to Pope Hall first, there will be a Martial Soul Hall deacon there who is specifically responsible for receiving incoming guests, we have to wait for the instruction from Pope Hall, this has always been the rule!" Xu Fei said.
"Oh!" Lu Yuan nodded, wasn't this the same as ancient China, where foreign guests had to stay at the foreign guesthouse and wait for the holy emperor to summon them?
It seemed that whether it is the Douluo Continent or ancient China, these things were actually basically similar.
"Stop here!" The carriage of the duo was stopped by the Holy Palace knights who were responsible for guarding Martial Soul City!
" Let's get off!" Xu Fei said.
Lu Yuan nodded, and the two of them exited the carriage together!
"We are from the Fasno Martial Soul Main Hall, here is our paperwork!" Xu Fei took out a piece of paperwork from his pocket, with the seal of the Fasno Province Martial Soul Master Hall on it!
After checking the paperwork, the knight gave a bow before saying, "The staff-house is just ahead, please go there on foot!"
After all, this place is close to the Pope's palace, so unless one is an elder bishop, even a platinum bishop would have to get off the carriage and walk.
The Pope's authority should not be violated!
"Alright, thanks for the trouble!" Following Xu Fei, Lu Yuan entered the staff house!
There were quite a few people in the pavilion, and there were a dozen of children around the same age as Lu Yuan, and these children would be young geniuses sent by the Martial Soul Branch Halls or Sub Halls from all over the region, generally speaking, the geniuses that could be sent here, their innate soul power was at least at the seventh level or above.
"Yo, there's another newcomer here!" The one who spoke was a girly dressed middle-aged man with a spiky voice and spoke with an unmanly accent that gave Lu Yuan goosebumps all over!
"Hmph, Yue Ling, you'd better speak properly!" Xu Fei furrowed his brows and shouted angrily.
"Yo, Little Fei Fei, why did your Fasno main hall send you out, it's really rare!" That Yue Ling did not care about Xu Fei's words, instead, he made a charming gesture and looked at Xu Fei with "affectionate" eyes.
" Ugh!" Lu Yuan felt his stomach churning, Yue Ling's manner truly disgusted him.
Xu Fei's face turned black, and he pulled Lu Yuan towards the room!
"Hey, Little Fei Fei you haven't replied to someone yet?" The shrill voice came again.
Only to see Xu Fei's body tremble and once again speed up more ...
