Just as Qi Lin and his large group arrived at Spirit City, Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao and his son also arrived at Spirit City at almost the same time.
Although they departed Heaven Dou City eight or nine days after the various academy teams, unlike the slow progress of the main group, the carriage they rode in was extremely fast.
This resulted in them taking only six or seven days to cover a distance that the main group took half a month to complete, making their speed twice as fast as the main group.
After the three arrived at Spirit City, Yu Xiaogang looked at the familiar city before him, a hint of nostalgia appearing in his eyes.
Spirit City, I never thought I, Yu Xiaogang, would have a day where I would come to this sorrowful place again.
Stepping down from the carriage and taking a deep breath, Yu Xiaogang gradually put away his nostalgic emotions.
He looked at Tang San and said with deep affection, "Little San, don't worry, even if I have to risk my old life, I will definitely help you get a solution to the twin spirits conflict."
He still remembered the blood-red eyes of his precious disciple when he learned that he had been humiliated by those guards.
Furthermore, Little San personally avenged him, killing all those who had humiliated him, along with their families.
Such actions truly made Yu Xiaogang feel avenged.
And what surprised Yu Xiaogang the most was that after a year, Little San's spirit power level had reached forty-five.
Such a fast cultivation speed truly lives up to his innate full spirit power.
This further filled Yu Xiaogang with confidence in Tang San, believing that within twenty years, he would surely stand at the peak of the continent.
However, what he didn't know was that Tang San had only just reached level forty two months ago.
Although Tang Hao knew, with his mind, he was easily placated by any random excuse Tang San came up with.
After all, if the spirit power of those from Tian Dou Academy could advance by leaps and bounds, why couldn't he, Tang San?
As for the reason for Tang San's rapid advancement in spirit power...
This was naturally because during the time he cultivated at the waterfall, he often went out alone to hunt evil Spirit Beasts in Sunset Forest, then devoured their spirit power and flesh essence, which allowed his spirit power level to advance rapidly in a short period.
Beside him, Tang San looked at the deeply emotional Yu Xiaogang, equally moved, and sincerely looked at Yu Xiaogang, saying, "Grandmaster, you are too kind to your disciple. Your disciple truly doesn't know how to repay you."
A smile appeared on Yu Xiaogang's slightly stiff face.
"Between us, master and disciple, why speak such formal words? Isn't it only right for me to help you?"
"Little San, if you truly wish to repay your Grandmaster, then strive to stand at the very peak of the continent."
"Your Grandmaster looks forward to that day!"
Tang San said, deeply moved, "Grandmaster—"
Tang San, who had been watched over by Yu Xiaogang since he was a child, despite knowing that Yu Xiaogang could sometimes be unreliable, still held him in immense respect.
In his opinion, although Yu Xiaogang wasn't his biological father, he cared for him much more than his own father.
It's just that his strength was a bit weak!
Many times he thought, how great would it be if Yu Xiaogang also had the strength of his biological father, Tang Hao.
Yu Xiaogang held Tang San's hand and said with a smile, "Alright, Little San, now that we've seen Spirit City, it's time for me to act."
"While I go to find Bibi Dong, you two can stay at the Soaring Wind Hotel in Spirit City. Once I get the solution to the Spirit conflict, I'll come find you."
Upon hearing this, Tang San couldn't help but say, "Then, Grandmaster, you must also pay attention to your own safety. After all, so much time has passed; Bibi Dong might not remember her feelings for you."
Grandmaster heard this and said confidently, "Don't worry about that; your Grandmaster believes he understands Bibi Dong quite well."
After speaking, he bid farewell to the two and hurried towards the center of Spirit City.
Meanwhile, on the other side, after the various academy teams arrived at Spirit City, Qi Lin's figure also quietly left the group and headed towards the Spirit Hall in the center of Spirit City.
His steps seemed slow, yet each stride covered more than ten zhang, and the surrounding pedestrians seemed unable to perceive his presence.
In just a few minutes, he had already reached his destination.
His third trial of the Life God's Examination required him to defeat or assist in defeating five Titled Douluo above ninety-five ranks within three months.
Although the three-month deadline was approaching, Qi Lin was not anxious.
Because several High Priests of Spirit Hall happened to meet this requirement.
Spirit Hall, Douluo Hall!
Qi Lin ascended to the very top of Spirit Hall's sacred mountain alone. Looking at the magnificent and grand palace before him, not a single ripple appeared in his eyes.
And despite his large presence deep within Spirit Hall, no one detected his arrival.
It wasn't until he walked into the main hall of Douluo Hall and saw the giant statue standing in the center of the hall that he was discovered by the tall figure standing devoutly beneath the statue.
This person turned around, and the moment he saw Qi Lin, his eyes narrowed slightly, a flash of alertness and confusion passing through them.
"Hello!"
Qi Lin looked at the handsome man, who appeared to be in his thirties or forties, and greeted him with a smile.
He recognized the identity of the person before him.
Qian Renxue's grandfather, the High Priest of Spirit Hall, a ninety-ninth rank Titled Douluo, Qian Daoliu!
"You are..." Qian Daoliu, however, looked at Qi Lin in confusion, not recognizing his identity, only curious as to how Qi Lin had managed to arrive here without alarming anyone else.
"You should have heard my name. I am Qi Lin."
"You are Qi Lin!"
Qian Daoliu's pupils contracted sharply upon hearing Qi Lin's self-introduction.
He naturally knew of Qi Lin, but had never met him in person. Now that he saw him, he truly was young.
Most importantly, Qian Daoliu actually felt a hint of danger from Qi Lin.
This feeling made Qian Daoliu feel incredibly absurd.
To make him feel threatened, one would at least need to be above rank ninety-seven, right?
Even if this young man had started cultivating from his mother's womb, he couldn't possibly have reached this level!
"How did you get up here?" Qian Daoliu asked curiously.
Qi Lin spread his hands and said, "I just walked up."
Qian Daoliu's face darkened. "I'm asking how you managed to come up without being discovered."
Qi Lin smiled slightly and said, "As long as I don't want people to find me, no one can find me, and neither can you."
"This kid..." Qian Daoliu raised an eyebrow.
He saw no trace of lies in Qi Lin's expression and tone.
"Then why are you here?"
"I want to challenge a few people, and it just so happens that Spirit Hall has suitable candidates," Qi Lin said, smiling at Qian Daoliu, appearing harmless.
Qian Daoliu, however, looked bewildered and asked Qi Lin, "Do you know what kind of place this is?"
"This is Douluo Hall. There's no one here for you to challenge."
Qi Lin heard this and said with a smile, "How can there be no one?"
Qian Daoliu was stunned by the remark, but seeing Qi Lin's smiling gaze directed at him, he immediately realized.
This kid, the person he wanted to challenge was actually himself!
