Chapter 276 Breakthrough to Soul Emperor, New Training Mission

Several days passed quietly, and Wu Qi and Qian Gu Chang Kong completed the absorption of the soul bone.

Early this morning, the two of them brought Chen Ping to the Hall of Offerings.

Chen Ping was originally a student of the Spirit Hall Academy, and now he was training behind Wu Qi and the other two, so there was no reason for him to hide his existence.

When Chen Ping first arrived at the Hall of Offerings, he appeared extremely awkward, following closely behind Wu Qi, not daring to look around.

Since he had been notified in advance, the worshippers were not opposed to his presence.

After all, Chen Ping was also a member of the champion team. Although his performance was not as dazzling as Wu Qi and Qian Gu Chang Kong, it was still quite remarkable.

The Hall of Worship has always been very tolerant of geniuses.

"Hehe, no need to be nervous," Qian Daoliu said calmly from his high seat.

Wu Qi was unaware of the distribution of soul bones in Tang Hao's body. He only knew that the Thousand Ancient Sky had been given a 90,000-year-old soul bone, which was the oldest among them.

He has already obtained Xiao Wu's spirit ring and spirit bone, so he is obviously not on the allocation list.

Today, I have come to the Hall of Offerings to receive the next training mission.

The Spirit Hall has a mature system for cultivating geniuses.

However, when Wu Qi and the others left, they were still Soul Venerables; now they are respectively High-level Soul Masters and Soul Emperors.

Indeed, after absorbing two 100,000-year-old soul bones, Wu Qi's strength successfully broke through to level 61, reaching the level of Soul Emperor.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is the youngest person in the continent with the highest soul power.

In contrast, Qin Ming, who was so arrogant back then, only broke through to the Soul Emperor level at the age of thirty. Now, Wu Qi is not even half his age.

Such a rapid breakthrough in strength means that many training missions cannot be completed, and one can only fast forward to the subsequent training plans.

"Tell me, where do you want to go?" Golden Crocodile Douluo asked.

Wu Qi and Qian Gu Chang Kong both exclaimed in unison, "A place of deadly poison!"

The Soul Master Competition has ended, and Wu Qi's strength has made a qualitative leap. He really wants to venture into the land of poison.

But the danger of that place is no joke, how could the worshippers possibly agree to it?
"Let's find something more practical," Qingluan Douluo said irritably.

Qian Gu Chang Kong and Chen Ping are already a whole stage behind Wu Qi, so how could their training missions be the same?
In other words, they must now separate and complete their respective training tasks.

The three had anticipated this, and Qian Daoliu offered three choices: "Destroy the mountain range, the verdant forest, or the overseas islands. Which one would you choose?"

Among them, evil spirit masters have been appearing in the Destruction Mountains recently, so it is absolutely forbidden to go there.

Of the three options, the trial mission to destroy the mountain was the simplest, but because of the evil spirit master, no one could guarantee that no accidents would happen.

As for overseas islands, they don't want to choose them either.

After all, they are all landlubbers, and their combat effectiveness will be halved when they go to sea, so they may not be able to complete the mission.

Qian Gu Chang Kong asked, "Grandpa Qian, isn't the Green Forest just a small forest in the south of the Heaven Dou Empire? What's so good about training there?"

Qian Daoliu did not answer, but instead asked with a faint smile, "So, you've chosen the Green Forest mission?"

The other two missions both had uncontrollable dangers in their training locations, leaving Qian Gu Chang Kong and Chen Ping with no choice.

Having received an affirmative reply, Qianjun Douluo explained the details of the mission.

The verdant forest was indeed not dangerous, but a month ago, a grain transport wagon belonging to the Spirit Hall was attacked nearby and its entire force was wiped out.

After investigation, it was determined that the bandits were responsible, and the strongest among them was only a low-level Soul King, not even with optimal Soul Ring configuration. Therefore, the Spirit Hall did not rush to eliminate the bandits, but instead reserved them for a genius training program.

Qian Gu Chang Kong and Chen Ping's mission was simple: to kill all the resistance fighters in the stronghold, and they had to kill the stronghold leader to complete the mission. The time limit was six months.

Wu Qi noticed the flaw in the argument and asked, "Teacher, grandfathers, how dare a bandit stronghold at the Soul King level attack the Spirit Hall's grain transport convoy?"

It should be noted that the Spirit Hall's grain transport convoys are guarded by Spirit Emperor level experts. How could a bandit leader at the Spirit King level possibly succeed?
The fact that this is a training mission at the Soul Master level proves that there are no hidden powerhouses behind it.

The problem either lies with the bandits or with the grain transport convoy.

Seeing that he had guessed something, Golden Crocodile Douluo interrupted, "Just think of it as a way to create a training mission, a sting operation."

"Alright, there's no need to think about this too much. The Spirit Hall has its own plans."

Wu Qi didn't say anything on the surface, but he checked the situation near the incident site based on the map of the mainland in his mind.

There are no big cities near the verdant forest, only an unnamed town.

The grain transport convoys are usually traveling in long lines, so how could they possibly drive in an uninhabited area?
Therefore, the grain must have been transported to a nearby mountain valley.

It's obvious that the Spirit Hall is funding certain shady forces.

Therefore, the grain transport convoy must keep a low profile and cannot display the Spirit Hall's flag.

Whether there were deeper considerations involved, Wu Qi could not know.

We can only wait until our strength improves before we can gradually uncover the deeper secrets of the Spirit Hall.

After Qian Gu Chang Kong and Chen Ping finished their training mission, they were sent away by the Demon-Slaying Douluo.

Next, the location of Wu Qi's training grounds is a top secret of the Spirit Hall and cannot be easily revealed to others.

Qian Daoliu said, "Regarding your training mission, I originally planned to send you to the Lost Canyon to complete your training with the Golden Generation of the Papal Palace."

"However, I think that with your current strength, you should have more options."

"After careful consideration, I have decided to give you two choices."

"The Golden Generation of the Papal Palace will depart early tomorrow morning for the Mysterious Grand Canyon for training. If you also decide to participate in this training, you must make your decision today."

"In addition, you have another option—to go to the Killing City for training."

The Killing City is indeed dangerous, but compared to the Poisonous Land, the former offers some flexibility.

As mentioned earlier, the grain transport vehicles that were hijacked by the Spirit Hall were the very ones transporting grain to the City of Slaughter.

The Killing Capital is a secluded little world where food cannot be grown.

The Spirit Hall chose to cooperate with them in order to take advantage of the characteristics of that small world to gather criminals and evil spirit masters.

If Wu Qi enters, the King of Slaughter will give face to the Spirit Hall and ensure his safety.

Of course, if the King of Slaughter comes to the rescue, it means that Wu Qi's training has failed, and he will no longer receive cultivation resources from the Hall of Offerings.

Moreover, the experience gained in the Killing City is of great importance.

Bibi Dong's ability to become the new Pope after Qian Xunji was inseparable from her experience in the Killing City.

Similarly, Tang Hao was established as the successor of Haotian Douluo because he completed the training in the City of Slaughter.

Only those who fight their way out of that deadly place are the true strong ones!
Only then can we gain more power in the future.
