Douluo Continent: Martial Soul - Dragon Abyss Sword, Peerless Prodigy

Chapter 25 The Hall of Offerings Attracts Attention!

The Hall of Spirit Offering is located atop the sacred mountain behind the Papal Palace.

The entire structure is made of milky white angelic jade, shrouded in mist all year round, sacred and majestic, far surpassing the grandeur of the Papal Palace.

This is the foundation of the Spirit Hall, where the Spirit Hall's most elite forces—the seven Elders—are hidden.

Each one of them is a Super Douluo-level existence, among whom the Grand Elder Qian Daoliu is a level 99 Peerless Douluo.

The successor of the Angel God, the true pillar of the Spirit Hall.

In the past, the Hall of Offerings was quiet and still, with the seven enshrined monks either in seclusion cultivating or comprehending divine inheritances, rarely concerning themselves with the sect's trivial matters.

Even Pope Qian Xunji, unless there was something important to attend to, dared not easily step into the Hall of Worship.

But today, the council hall of the offering hall was unusually lively.

Seven elderly men dressed in gold and white robes sat around a round stone table, each with a different expression, yet all bearing a hint of approval and satisfaction.

"I didn't expect that Qian Xunji would have taken on such a good disciple."

The three priests stroked their white beards, their voices full of praise.

"A level 20, second-ring Great Soul Master, without using Soul Skills, defeated Yu Chen, a level 31, third-ring prodigy of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, solely with his normal swordsmanship."

"He crushed my Spirit Hall's inner disciples without even drawing his sword. This talent and temperament are truly one in a hundred years." "More than one in a hundred years?" A fiery glint flashed in the eyes of the Fifth Elder.

"He absorbed the second soul ring in a thousand years at the second ring level, with one yellow and one purple soul ring configuration, breaking the shackles of the soul master's absorption time limit."

"Add to that his unparalleled understanding of swordsmanship, and Lin Han's future achievements will likely far surpass all of ours; he might even have a chance to reach the god level!"

"What's most commendable is that he has the Spirit Hall and the sect's honor in his heart," the Second Elder said solemnly.

"The Spirit Hall's honor must not be trampled upon by anyone. Anyone who dares to provoke us, I will shatter them with a single sword strike."

That's a powerful statement!

"In just one sentence, he ignited the fighting spirit of all the disciples and gave the younger generation of the Spirit Hall a belief and a benchmark."

"This mindset is even more valuable than talent!"

The worshippers chatted amongst themselves, their words filled with praise for Lin Han.

They often secluded themselves, but they kept a close eye on the Spirit Hall's movements.

Lin Han's deeds of defeating Yu Chen and upholding the sect's reputation, as well as his domineering quote, had already been passed on to the Hall of Worship by the guards.

Within an hour, the news had reached the ears of all seven attendants.

They were all ancient monsters who had lived for hundreds of years and had seen countless geniuses, but they had never seen anyone like Lin Han.

A young man with top-notch talent, temperament, strength, and vision.

Around six years old, at level 20, second ring, with superb swordsmanship, he could even crush a third ring with his second ring.

He can also single-handedly revitalize the morale of the younger generation of the Spirit Hall.

Anyone would love such a disciple.

Seated in the main seat was a man dressed in a pure white angel robe, with an aged face but sharp eyes like an eagle.

The one emanating a terrifying, sacred aura was none other than the Grand Priest, Sendou Ryu.

He listened quietly to the discussion of the worshippers, a faint smile always playing on his lips.

The approval in his eyes was even greater than that of the other worshippers.

Qian Daoliu, a level 99 peerless Douluo, the Grand Priest of the Angel God, and the father of Qian Xunji.

He was also Lin Han and Bibi Dong's grandmaster.

He devoted his life to the inheritance of the angels and rarely concerned himself with worldly affairs. He was also quite strict in his teaching of Qian Xunji.

But when he heard about Lin Han's deeds, he was surprisingly moved.

He knew all too well that the Spirit Hall wanted to stand at the pinnacle of the continent for a long time and wanted to complete the inheritance of the Angel God.

It cannot be separated from the support of top geniuses.

While Qian Xunji was undoubtedly excellent, he always lacked the potential to break through to the pinnacle.

But Lin Han's appearance gave him hope.

Exceptional swordsmanship talent, doubled training speed, and a composure far exceeding that of his peers.

There's also that deep-seated sense of sect honor, and the secret to breaking the limit of soul ring absorption.

All of this filled Qian Daoliu with affection and anticipation for this nominal "second grand-disciple".

"Lin Han is indeed a good kid," Qian Daoliu said slowly.

The voice was old yet full of authority, each word clearly reaching the ears of every worshipper.

"He is exceptionally talented, has a calm and steady temperament, and what's even more remarkable is that he knows how to protect the honor of the Spirit Hall."

"This dedication is more important than any talent. It is Qian Xunji's blessing to have such a disciple, and it is also a blessing for our Spirit Hall."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other worshippers nodded in agreement.

"The High Priest is right," the Fourth Priest said.

"Lin Han is only about six years old, yet he already possesses such strength and vision."

"Given time, they will surely become pillars of our Spirit Hall, and may even help us complete the inheritance of the Angel God."

O

"Lead the Spirit Hall to even greater glory."

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly, a hint of calculation flashing in his eyes.

As Lin Han's grandmaster and the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, he naturally couldn't remain silent about Lin Han's outstanding performance.

Since you like this grand-disciple, you must show sufficient sincerity in your gift to him.

It shouldn't seem stingy, but it also needs to align with Lin Han's talent and needs.

"I remember there was also an angel sword tassel in the storeroom," forged from angelic feathers.

"It can nurture sword intent, improve the accuracy of sword skills, and even withstand an attack at the level of a Contra Douluo. It's quite suitable for Lin Han."

Qian Daoliu murmured softly, then shook his head.

"Not enough. This sword tassel is not worthy of his talent."

"And that 'Evil-Slaying Sword Embryo' was forged from fragments of an ancient divine artifact."

"It contains pure power to ward off evil and can suppress evil martial spirits, complementing Lin Han's Dragon Abyss Sword."

"Giving it to him would not only enhance his combat power, but also make his path of swordsmanship smoother."

Thinking of this, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Qian Daoliu's eyes.

The Demon-Slaying Sword Embryo and the Angelic Sword Tassel are both practical and substantial gifts.

This would not only demonstrate his respect as a master, but also truly help Lin Han.

"In addition, I will teach him the basic techniques of Angelic Swordsmanship." Qian Daoliu continued to plan.

"My Angel Swordsmanship and his Dragon Abyss Swordsmanship are different, but they can learn from each other."

"Perhaps it can help him break through the bottleneck in swordsmanship and reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship more quickly."

Several of the retainers were shocked when they heard Qian Daoliu's plan.

The Demon-Slaying Sword Embryo and the Angelic Sword Tassel are both top-tier treasures in the Spirit Hall's treasury, which are difficult for even ordinary Super Douluo to obtain.

The Angel Sword Dao Technique is a unique inheritance of Qian Daoliu, which has never been easily passed on to outsiders. Even Qian Xunji only learned the basics.

"Grand Elder, you value Lin Han far too much, don't you?" the Sixth Elder couldn't help but ask.

"The Demon-Slaying Sword Embryo and the Angelic Sword Tassel are both top-tier treasures. Add to that the Angelic Sword Dao Heart Sutra, and this gift is truly unprecedented."
