Chapter 65: Qian Daoliu's Further Observation
🕑 Added 2025-08-03 16:46:42 +0000 UTCA tall, golden-haired man stood with his back to Ci Xue. Under the sacred light of the Angel God statue, his silhouette appeared even more imposing.
"Greetings to the Grand Worshipper!"
Ci Xue looked at the continent's foremost figure before him—Qian Daoliu—and knelt reverently on one knee.
Qian Daoliu turned around, his golden eyes gazing down at Ci Xue with a peaceful yet infinite majesty.
"Rise. Has something happened to Little Snow in Heaven Dou?"
"Grand Worshipper, the Young Master is perfectly well. It's just that there's someone who greatly puzzles her. This is the Young Master's request regarding that person."
Ci Xue respectfully took out a golden envelope and handed it to Qian Daoliu.
Qian Daoliu opened it and was initially overjoyed, but after seeing the formal content below,
"Grandfather, this Ignaz is at most 14 years old but has already reached Spirit Ancestor level. His martial spirit is also a blood-colored spear. Could he really be someone chosen by a god? Please help me investigate this person thoroughly. I want to know everything about him from the day his martial spirit awakened."
At this moment, his brow furrowed tightly, and a terrifying spirit power pressure from a level 99 Peerless Douluo suddenly burst forth. The two Douluo present, Jiangmo and Ci Xue, felt immense pressure, and both knelt down.
Ci Xue, being only level 92, was completely pressed flat against the ground by this spirit pressure, and even the floor cracked under the force.
After ten years, this was the first time Qian Daoliu felt uneasy. If this were true, combined with the previous signs of the Angel God statue trembling, either that Ignaz was chosen by another god, or he was a fallen Spirit Master.
Qian Daoliu's brow furrowed as he commanded Jiangmo,
"Jiangmo, go to the various Spirit Hall branch temples and sub-temples across the continent to search for detailed information about Ignaz. As long as his martial spirit was awakened with Spirit Hall's help, his information must be on record."
"Yes."
"Ci Xue, we're leaving!"
Ci Xue, who had just managed to stand up, hadn't even reacted when he was forcibly taken away by Qian Daoliu.
In just over an hour, the two had crossed thousands of kilometers and arrived outside Heaven Dou Academy.
"Grand Worshipper, should I bring the Young Master over? Your personal visit to Heaven Dou would surely make the Young Master happy."
"Unnecessary!"
Qian Daoliu used his extremely powerful mental strength to scan the entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy, seeing a white-haired youth who was staying in his dormitory, meditating and cultivating.
"This person already has faint killing intent around him, yet lacks the extreme evil aura of those fallen ones. For such a young person to flexibly control killing intent is truly impressive."
After careful observation, once Qian Daoliu confirmed that Ignaz wasn't a fallen Spirit Master who had escaped from that place, he was somewhat pleased but still shook his head with slight disappointment.
There was no divine mark on Ignaz's forehead, which meant he wasn't someone chosen by a god, or rather, a candidate for a divine position.
Qian Daoliu looked at Ci Xue with great satisfaction,
"Ci Xue, you did extremely well this time. In the future, I will definitely find two quality spirit bones for you and She Long as a reward."
Upon hearing this, Ci Xue was extremely excited. He hadn't expected this errand to have unexpected gains, and moreover, it was spirit bones personally rewarded by the Grand Worshipper. He knew that in the Elder Hall, the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, who had contributed most to Spirit Hall, had only received one spirit bone each in decades.
Yet he, a level 92 Titled Douluo, could get a spirit bone for free just by running errands. His partner, She Long, was truly benefiting from his good fortune.
"Thank you, Grand Worshipper!"
"This is what you deserve. After returning, tell Little Snow that this person can be observed further. If she cannot subdue him, kill him immediately."
At this moment, a flash of killing intent appeared in Qian Daoliu's eyes. For such a talented genius with a cold, killing nature, if he couldn't become a person of Spirit Hall, then death was his only path.
A mere candidate for a divine position, not someone chosen by a god—even if they completely eliminated him, the gods couldn't blame them.
Ci Xue secretly rejoiced, realizing the Grand Worshipper didn't know the Young Master had already completely subdued that boy.
"This subordinate understands."
The two disappeared from their location together. At this moment, Ignaz inside the academy hadn't noticed anyone spying on him when the sound of a door opening suddenly awakened him.
"Big Brother Iggy, you and I have been selected for the official roster of next year's Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament! This is a grand event held once every five years."
"Little sister, don't be so startled. Of course, I know this, but I've had some issues with my recent cultivation. Moreover, next year I need to go to Thunder Valley for three to four months of lightning-tempering training. I've already discussed this with my teacher and the three education committee members—I'm withdrawing from next year's Spirit Master tournament."
Regarding the Spirit Master tournament held every five years, with next year being hosted by the Star Luo Empire, Ignaz couldn't muster any interest. The final prizes for tournaments hosted by the two great Empires were nothing more than gold spirit coins and noble titles, occasionally rewarding some spirit guidance devices.
Unlike the next tournament hosted by Spirit Hall—the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament—that would be a truly grand event, especially since the champion's prize would be three spirit bones.
Among them, the 50,000-year Mental Condensation Wisdom Skull Bone would be a very good choice for him. If combined with his head external spirit bone, the Thunder Dragon Fish Crown, his mental strength would be enhanced once again, though its age would still be relatively low.
The only thing that worried Ignaz now was whether that tournament six years later would still have three spirit bones, given his unpredictable factor.
If he wanted to participate in that tournament, his current strength still wasn't enough. With only one Titled Douluo ally, if that woman Bibi Dong wanted to make a move against him, going to Spirit City for the competition would be completely suicidal.
However, this matter was still too distant. For the current Ignaz, he could only take things one step at a time. If it really didn't work out later, he simply wouldn't go.
Hearing that Ignaz wouldn't be going, Dugu Yan felt somewhat disappointed and looked at him nervously.
"Big Brother Iggy, what went wrong with your cultivation? Do you need me to call your grandfather to help examine you? Your body absolutely cannot have any problems!"
"It's fine. That's just an excuse because I don't want to go. My thinking is that since I'm still young, even if I don't participate in this Spirit Master tournament, I can go next time. By then—"
The more Ignaz spoke, the harder it became to suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth. Dugu Yan, beside him, also thought of the next tournament's battle scenes and couldn't help but smile sweetly.
"Big Brother Iggy, you're so bad!"
"I'll be exactly 20 years old for the next tournament, perfectly meeting the competition age requirement. How am I bad?"
Ignaz stood up to stretch his body, giving Dugu Yan a somewhat playful look.
