Inside Heaven Dou City, Spirit Hall!
As the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City was naturally given immense importance by Spirit Hall.
The Spirit Hall stationed here, in terms of rank and scale, was above the Spirit Sub-Hall, Spirit Branch-Hall, and Spirit Main-Hall, second only to the Spirit Main-Temple.
The person in charge was Platinum Bishop Salas, a Spirit Douluo-level powerhouse.
Today, just as Wang Li and Dugu Yan entered the city, someone reported the news to Salas.
Upon learning the news, Salas took out the information he had collected about Wang Li and Dugu Yan.
After all, there are no impenetrable walls, especially for Spirit Hall.
Although Wang Li and Dugu Yan usually stayed at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, it didn't prevent Spirit Hall from obtaining their intelligence.
Dugu Yan's intelligence was unremarkable in all aspects.
However, Wang Li's intelligence was somewhat outrageous: awakening his Spirit at six years old, a mutated Spirit evolved from Blue Silver Grass, with innate spirit power of level three – this could still be explained by luck.
But then, he first entered Notting Academy, graduated in one year, then entered Liejia Academy, graduated in two years, and then entered Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Although he hasn't graduated yet, at twelve years old, he had already become a Spirit Ancestor with spirit power as high as level forty-one.
Outrageous, absolutely outrageous!
Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, with impeccable talent and full cultivation from Spirit Hall, only reached the Spirit Ancestor level around fifteen years old.
Except for that one...
At this moment, Salas's face showed a thoughtful expression, his eyes deep and full of wisdom, as he sat on a soft sofa, thinking:
"Wang Li, his background and experiences are too pure: born to ordinary villagers outside Nuoding City, Fasinuo Province, Heaven Dou Empire.
Notting Academy, Liejia Academy, Heaven Dou Royal Academy, favored by those three Teachers, and now he's the Poison Douluo's grandson-in-law.
Even the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou and Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School personally went to win him over.
We, Spirit Hall, have no way to approach him."
"However, his Spirit was awakened by our Spirit Hall, which can be used as an excuse to first make contact with him, and then try our best to uncover his background."
"I refuse to believe that our Spirit Hall's full cultivation is inferior to the Poison Douluo alone, or that our Spirit Hall's Golden Generation is inferior to a boy with a mutated Spirit and only three levels of innate spirit power.
What is the difference?
What kind of life-and-death tempering can cause such a great change in a person?"
But at this moment, Salas's ears twitched, and he instantly stood up, his expression serious, as if someone was speaking to him right beside him.
He kept nodding in agreement.
After a long while, Salas covered his face with his hand and spoke with difficulty:
"It seems my old face is going to be sacrificed today.
Too low-end, too low-end.
To think that I, the dignified Platinum Bishop Salas, would have to use such methods to bully a child.
Forget it, everything is for Spirit Hall..."
Immediately, Salas lowered his hand, emptied his mind, and dispersed the deep light in his eyes.
Gradually, gradually... all that remained was the arrogance of one in a high position and an overbearing demeanor that brooked no disobedience.
He flicked his sleeves, clasped his hands behind his back, walked out of the room, and ordered loudly:
"Someone, come with me!"
...
On the streets of Heaven Dou City!
Salas led his men to this place and happened to witness such a scene.
He widened his eyes and muttered to himself:
"Unseemly, unseemly.
To do such a thing in broad daylight, in front of everyone's eyes.
Eating a candied hawthorn, and needing to be fed, even mouth-fed."
Such frivolousness and wantonness, how could he be a Spirit Master who could endure life-and-death tempering and surpass his limits?
But he still dutifully played the role of the villain, his face filled with arrogance, and spoke domineeringly:
"Wang Li!"
Wang Li also noticed these people, dressed in Spirit Hall uniforms, each exuding a powerful aura.
However, it wasn't until they called out his name that he confirmed these people were looking for him.
He wiped his mouth to appear more serious, then calmly said:
"I am Wang Li.
May I ask who you are?"
Dugu Yan answered for Salas.
She stood in front of Wang Li, her green eyes no longer gentle, but instead radiating a cold, indifferent light:
"Platinum Bishop of Spirit Hall, Salas."
Wang Li was a little surprised.
Salas, a figure of this level, why would he personally come to cause him trouble?
Salas was also very surprised.
Wang Li's ability to gain the Poison Douluo's favor seemed to be because he had won over the Poison Douluo's granddaughter.
However, now was not the time for his surprise.
He sternly said with a cold expression:
"Wang Li, come with me.
Your talent, your spirit power level, can only receive the best cultivation in Spirit Hall!"
Dugu Yan wouldn't have it.
She furiously threatened:
"Salas, a dignified Platinum Bishop of Spirit Hall, bullying the young, aren't you afraid of losing face?
Xiao Li will not go with you, and everything that happens today, I will tell grandpa, and let my grandpa pay a visit to your Spirit Hall!"
Salas was here on a mission.
He also knew that this method was too low-end and too crude.
If the Poison Douluo really came for revenge, at most he would just take a beating.
As the Platinum Bishop of Spirit Hall, his life wouldn't be in danger.
He let out a cold laugh, directly released his spirit power, his robes billowed without wind, and a terrifying oppressive force swept towards Wang Li and Dugu Yan:
"This is not up to you.
As for Your Grace, Bi Lin, if he comes, I will personally welcome him.
But Wang Li, I truly value him and wish to recommend him to Spirit Hall for better guidance!"
The powerful spirit power seemed to solidify the air, but when it reached Dugu Yan, it silently dissipated into nothingness.
The Yearning Heartbroken Red had the effect of invulnerability.
Let alone Salas, a Spirit Douluo, even a Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo, his fierce aura after breaking through to level ninety-three spirit power, was blocked by the Yearning Heartbroken Red.
Dugu Yan felt no pressure, and Wang Li, behind Dugu Yan, also felt no pressure.
However, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Although he was somewhat baffled, the situation today clearly showed that Salas had ill intentions.
How did such a person become a Platinum Bishop?
Was his left brain water and his right brain flour, so a shake would turn his head into paste?
This was Heaven Dou City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, and he, a Platinum Bishop of Spirit Hall, was acting so arrogantly.
Wang Li placed a hand on Dugu Yan's shoulder and calmly said:
"Yan Yan Jie, let me handle this!"
After speaking, Wang Li pulled Dugu Yan behind him, placing himself in front of her.
The Yearning Heartbroken Red was on Dugu Yan's body, and he stood in front of Dugu Yan, outside the protection range of the Yearning Heartbroken Red.
He immediately felt the spirit power pressure of Salas's Spirit Douluo level.
However, Wang Li was not afraid in the slightest, standing tall and proud.
In this situation, Salas was using the pretense of being good for him to bully him.
First, he couldn't be led by the nose; he had to make as big a scene as possible.
