Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

In Dugu Bo's view, a genius like Wu Qi, having already experienced life-and-death adventures, only needs to cultivate steadily, and his strength will naturally be greater than that of his peers.

Becoming a top expert in the future is a certainty.

Did Wu Qi not know that only living geniuses are qualified to become strong?

You should know that during the era when Dugu Bo grew up, countless geniuses and strongmen emerged on the continent. Although their strength was slightly inferior to that of contemporary geniuses, they were probably no less than everyone in the Seven Treasures Team, except for the others.
From today's perspective, that era is long over.

The geniuses who grew up in that era were only a few elders of the Spirit Hall and Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

Other geniuses either perished during their trials or struggled to break through due to mental issues; in short, they have long been forgotten by the times.

Could it be that Dugu Bo and those elders of the Spirit Hall were the most powerful geniuses at that time?

I'm afraid not.

But where are the most brilliant geniuses of their era now?

no one knows.

Perhaps that genius lived up to his talent and became one of the strongest figures on the continent. However, because he belonged to a secluded sect, he did not appear on the continent.

While such cases cannot be ruled out, they are, after all, a minority.

If those reclusive sects truly had the ability to dominate the continent, why would they remain hidden? Wouldn't it be better for them to simply step forward and reap the benefits?

More likely, these geniuses have long since faded into obscurity, forgotten by all.

Dugu Bo certainly didn't want Wu Qi to become such a genius.

But for Wu Qilai, he had to give it his all.

Bibi Dong has obtained the inheritance of the Rakshasa God. Once she becomes a god, the entire Spirit Hall will be hers to command. The future situation on the continent is inevitable.

Tang San has now been crippled by him. If Wu Qi cannot stop this, who knows what crazy things Bibi Dong will do.

At that time, even the Hall of Worship will be unable to compete with it.

Gods dwell in this highly poisonous land; how can one be content without venturing forth?

Wu Qi chuckled and said, "Old man, you're worrying unnecessarily."

"Danger is inevitable, but the opportunity within it is crucial to me. If I miss it, I will never have another chance in my life."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Dugu Bo stopped talking and shrugged.

"You can decide for yourself; I'll just offer some advice."

"According to you, even titled Douluo can't enter that place. So I can't help you with this training. You'd better be careful."

Dugu Bo has been a great help to him over the years, and Wu Qi has always kept that in mind.

If he truly passes the divine test after this ordeal, his future will be secure.

Then we can provide for Dugu Bo in his old age.

……

After parting ways with Dugu Bo, Wu Qi went to the Martial Soul Temple.

Wu Qi's status within the Spirit Hall is now vastly different from what it used to be.

Even Salas, a platinum bishop, had to treat him with utmost respect.

For Salas, it felt like a lifetime ago.

I vaguely remember that more than ten years ago, Wu Qi was just a greenhorn, and his martial spirit was awakened with the help of the Holy Temple.

During the Soul Master Competition, Wu Qi was just a top-tier elite disciple of the Spirit Hall.

Only about three years have passed, and his status is already no less than that of the elders of the Spirit Hall.

Salas felt no dissatisfaction or disappointment; on the contrary, he was quite fortunate. Strictly speaking, he was Wu Qi's first mentor, and the greater the talent Wu Qi displayed, the greater the value of his investment.

In the future, once Wu Qi rises to a truly high-level position, he will also be able to reap some benefits.

"Your subordinate greets Lord Wu." Salas bowed warmly, showing no difference in status.

Wu Qi looked slightly embarrassed.

His relationship with Salas wasn't particularly close.

After all, he hadn't lived in Tiandou City since he was taken away by Qingluan Douluo.

Although he returned to Heaven Dou City afterward, to avoid the inconvenience of his identity being exposed, he never visited the Spirit Temple, nor did he have any contact with Salas.

Given the other party's attitude, he was at a loss.

“Bishop Salas, there’s no need for that. You are my mentor and my senior. I can’t accept such a title.”

Salas waved his hands repeatedly, "Lord Wu, you are joking. In the Spirit Hall's system, there is a distinction between the noble and the lowly. Your current status is equivalent to that of an elder, while I am merely a Platinum Bishop. How dare I be disrespectful?"

After some pleasantries, we got down to business.

Investigating the Wu family's affairs will require Salas's help, after all, he has been working in Tiandou City for a long time and has far more intelligence than Wu Qi.

In the subsequent investigation, the power of the Temple became the main force.

There are only two Platinum Bishops in the entire Spirit Hall system.

They are a very special group within the Spirit Hall. Their status is lower than that of ordinary elders, but higher than that of all Soul Douluo powerhouses.

Therefore, Salas was aware of this operation beforehand.

Wu Qi needed to investigate the mine first, so the training team assembled by Bibi Dong was temporarily useless.

These people are all trainees. They're fine with fighting and dying, but they have no ability to investigate.

"Lord Wu, shall we set off now? As for the people you brought, why not settle them in a nearby city? I will arrange for people to keep a close watch on them to ensure they don't wander off and expose our whereabouts."

As a competent subordinate, Salas naturally wanted to share Wu Qi's burdens.

Wu Qi had no better solution and could only follow his advice.

After all, in his opinion, there was no need for the Spirit Hall to send out a team of trainees.

As for what Guangling Douluo said about using these people as scapegoats, that's probably not going to work.

Bibi Dong wasn't stupid; she deliberately sent out this group of elite students because she was certain that the Hall of Offerings wouldn't dare let them be completely wiped out.

As long as one person returns alive, she can gather information about the poisonous land, and she won't suffer any loss.

After packing their gear, led by Wu Qi, the group embarked on their journey to the Kingdom of Häagen-Dazs.

Salas did not travel with the main force; as the Platinum Bishop, he needed to remain at the Martial Soul Temple.

However, since there are people specifically passing intelligence between the two, it doesn't affect anything.

Furthermore, once it is confirmed that there is a mole from the Xinshan Sect within the Wu family, it is necessary to capture this mole as soon as possible.

Salas's presence in Tiandou City allows for better mobilization of manpower and the execution of the arrest operation.

Everything is ready; now we just need to see the results of the investigation.

If He Niannian and her father can be found again this time, the investigation will proceed very smoothly.

Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention to their movements back then, and it will probably be difficult to find them now.

However, for Wu Qilai, He Niannian and her father were not the only solution; he could approach the problem from many angles. (End of Chapter)
