Dugu Bo said, "These three Soul Bones were accumulated by the Martial Soul Hall and were obtained from the remains of deceased elders."
"The Pope dares to bring them out as the final champion's reward, so you can imagine their confidence in the participants."
"Do you still harbor any illusions now?"
"What do you mean, illusions?" Ye Fan rolled his eyes. "I will only use my overwhelming strength to defeat them all."
"Since they brought them out, they don't need to take them back."
Dugu Bo was stunned by Ye Fan's words. "Little monster, are you running a fever?"
"Didn't you understand what I just said?"
"You shouldn't covet those Soul Bones."
"Give up on this tournament."
"At your age, you can still participate in the next one."
"By then, no one should be a match for the team you lead."
"Also, your strength will bring you endless trouble."
"Do you think the Martial Soul Hall won't notice you? If you were the Martial Soul Hall and encountered such a genius, what would you do?"
"There are only two possibilities: to recruit or to destroy."
"If I'm not mistaken, your information is already on the desk of at least one Platinum Bishop."
"The Martial Soul Hall won't make a move against you behind the scenes,"
"They can absolutely use this tournament to get rid of you right on the stage."
"The competition rules are just a game to the Martial Soul Hall."
"If they can't eliminate you on the Soul Arena, then they'll have to resort to underhanded tactics. They won't risk letting their opponent have such a genius."
"A Title Douluo might even come after you."
Dugu Bo sighed. "At your age, your current level truly means your future is limitless,"
"The more talented you are now, the more you should hide yourself away. Come out when you become a Title Douluo, and no one will be your match."
Looking at Ye Fan, something appeared in Dugu Bo's eyes that he couldn't control. "Forget it, I don't want to deal with you."
"Suit yourself. I'm off."
"I rushed back here from so far away, and I haven't even eaten yet. Time to go foraging."
With that, a flash of green light, and Dugu Bo's tall figure vanished.
The Platinum Bishop's office was resplendent, covering more than two hundred square meters.
The spacious room was filled with all sorts of treasures.
Salas sat behind his ornate desk, which was almost absurdly large.
In front of him lay a file, a document transferred from Notting City.
It had to be said, the Martial Soul Hall's efficiency was quite high.
After only a month, it was like searching for a needle in a haystack. The required file was found within the registration archives of the Martial Soul Hall in various cities.
Salas had already read this file seven times, but he still found it hard to believe what he was seeing.
The file before him contained the information of a Soul Master.
This Soul Master's name was: Ye Fan.
The details were comprehensive, starting from Ye Fan's first registration at the Martial Soul Hall to confirm his Soul Master status.
Then, it documented his progress to the second and third Soul Rings. However, there was no information between the third and fifth rings.
He hadn't visited the Martial Soul Hall at all during that period, yet it was the time when his Soul Power increased the fastest.
This wasn't the reason Salas had read the file seven times. The reason he kept rereading it was actually just to look at a single number, the one representing age.
Fourteen years old, only fourteen.
He was still a few months away from turning fifteen.
A Soul King above the fiftieth rank.
A fourteen-year-old Soul King.
Salas slapped his forehead. He really didn't want to believe it.
Standing up, Salas walked to the bookshelf behind his desk. He reached out and pulled on a thick book on the shelf.
With a creaking sound, the bookshelf slowly moved aside, revealing the wall.
There was a square metal plate on the wall, emitting a faint fluctuation of Soul Power. Clearly, this metal plate was a Soul Tool.
He pressed his right palm onto it.
Immediately, a faint red light emanated from the metal plate, instantly covering Salas's palm.
Another series of clicks echoed,
and the metal plate slowly receded, revealing a square space.
The space wasn't large,
only about one square foot, and it held a stack of documents.
Salas casually flipped through them,
pulling out one in particular. Marked on this document were the words "Top Secret."
Inside the file were only three sheets of paper, each containing a piece of information.
Salas carefully examined the documents,
and quickly found what he was looking for.
"Twenty-four, twenty-four, twenty-four,"
"All three of them reached Fiftieth Rank Soul Power at the age of twenty-four."
With a snap, Salas slammed the files shut. He quickly closed the hidden compartment, strode back to his desk, and picked up Ye Fan's file again.
He looked at the number for the eighth time.
"Ten whole years earlier than the Golden Generation,"
"Able to summon plant and zombie illustrations."
"Not only is his Martial Soul powerful and unique, but Ye Fan's Soul Power increase is also too fast."
Salas was clearly unaffected by Emperor Xueye's tough stance today. He picked up a pen and quickly wrote a letter.
The envelope bore five words: Top Secret, For the Pope.
A month passed quickly,
and the Advancement Tournament began in the blink of an eye.
Unlike the preliminary rounds, the Advancement Tournament of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament wasn't as lively. To protect the privacy and safety of the Soul Masters, no audience was allowed.
The Advancement Tournament was still divided by the two great empires. The thirty teams that passed the preliminary rounds would compete within their respective empires. The three teams that had already advanced to the finals would not participate in the Advancement Tournament.
In the Heaven Dou Empire, including the five teams that advanced from the Heaven Dou City preliminary rounds,
a total of fifteen teams had completed the registration process in the morning,
and gathered at the location of the Advancement Tournament.
While the number of teams was smaller, those who had passed the preliminary rounds
were undoubtedly the elite of the elite.
The five kingdoms and duchies arrived even earlier than the ten teams that had qualified through the preliminary rounds; they needed to familiarize themselves with the environment.
At the same time, they all came bearing numerous promises from the kingdoms or duchies they represented.
The rewards they could receive if they performed well were even greater than those promised by Emperor Xueye.
After all, those kingdoms and duchies were even more desperate for talent. Who wouldn't want to have more powerful Soul Masters under their control?
Especially given the delicate relationship between the five major kingdoms and duchies and the Heaven Dou Empire.
Any discerning person could see that, although the five kingdoms and duchies were still within the Heaven Dou Empire's system, they were almost unrelated.
