The Golden Generation of Douluo Continent, starting with the inheritance of the Flame Emperor.

"Your Holiness, the person has been brought."

Standing in the center of the main hall, Yue Guan placed his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and greeted Bibi Dong at the head of the table.

"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope."

Behind him, Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena also hurriedly bowed. They dared not bow slightly like Yue Guan, but instead knelt respectfully on one knee.

The Pope of the Spirit Hall holds a revered position on the continent, and in the hearts of Soul Masters, his status even surpasses that of the emperors of the two great empires, so the etiquette he performs is naturally solemn.

Yan felt helpless, but fortunately it was only kneeling on one knee, which was barely acceptable.

"Get up."

A clear and majestic voice resounded in the hall.

The voice wasn't loud, but every word seemed to fall right next to my ear, incredibly clear.

The three of them stood up, but still kept their heads down.

Yan stared at the gleaming ground beneath his feet, recalling the information about Bibi Dong from the original novel.

Although Bibi Dong was not qualified in many aspects as the Pope of the Spirit Hall, her powerful strength was never in doubt.

With her twin martial souls and the inheritance of the Rakshasa God's position, Bibi Dong's strength at this moment is perhaps only second to Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo in the entire Spirit Hall.

"Elder Yueguan, you've worked hard." Bibi Dong's voice rang out again, this time addressed to Chrysanthemum Douluo.

"Serving His Holiness the Pope is my duty."

Yue Guan nodded slightly, then stepped aside to let the three children behind him pass, and introduced them one by one.

"These are the three children: Xie Yue, six years old, with the top-tier weapon spirit Moon Blade and innate level nine soul power."

Hu Liena, six years old, possesses the top-tier beast martial soul, the fox demon, and innate level nine soul power.

Yan, six years old, the top-tier beast martial soul, Flame Lord...

At this point, Yue Guan couldn't help but glance at the red-haired boy: "Innate full soul power."

Following Yue Guan's introduction, Bibi Dong looked at the three children below one by one.

Even though Yan had awakened his innate full soul power, he still couldn't make Bibi Dong's gaze linger on him for long.

Her gaze, however, lingered more on Hu Liena.

For Bibi Dong, who was destined to stand at the pinnacle of the Soul Master world and was destined to undergo the Rakshasa God Trial, there was not much difference between having innate level nine Soul Power and having innate full Soul Power.

More importantly, she saw her own past self in Hu Liena. Both were orphans, both were exceptionally talented, and both possessed a mental strength far surpassing that of Tongji University.

For a Soul Master who aspires to become a Title Douluo, exceptional talent is indispensable.

However, if one wants to cross the threshold of level 95 and advance to become a Super Douluo of level 96 or above, strong mental power is also indispensable.

Seeing Hu Liena with her head down and looking timid, Bibi Dong couldn't help but feel a pang of pity. Even her usually cold and hard face softened considerably in an instant.

"Hu Liena." Bibi Dong's lips parted slightly, her voice still cool, but lacking some of its aloofness, it had gained a subtle gentleness.

"Yes." Hu Liena's delicate body trembled slightly, and she instinctively raised her head, her bright golden eyes reflecting Bibi Dong's stunningly beautiful face.

As if burned, just as she was about to lower her head again, she heard the voice continue.

"You have great talent, especially your mental strength. Would you be willing to...?"

Bibi Dong paused, her gaze sweeping over the two people beside Hu Liena.

Xie Yue's body was tense, and he didn't dare to breathe too hard, while Yan remained calm.

"To become my disciple in name only?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of breathing in the hall almost ceased.

His Holiness the Pope's disciple!

Everyone present understood what this meant: it was a ladder leading directly to the core of the Spirit Hall's power and influence, the starting point that almost every spirit master in the spirit master world dreamed of.

Even Yue Guan was momentarily surprised when he heard Bibi Dong's words. As the Pope's right-hand man, he knew that His Holiness the Pope valued this child named Hu Liena, but he did not expect that this valuing had reached the point of wanting to take her as a disciple.

Hu Liena was completely stunned. Her mouth was slightly open, her mind was blank, and she didn't know what to say.

On the contrary, Xie Yue clenched his fist tightly, his knuckles turning white, and looked at Hu Liena with anticipation and excitement in his heart.

Yan's expression remained calm and composed. As expected, it was still Hu Liena. He wasn't too surprised by the result.

In the original novel, Hu Liena was chosen by Bibi Dong to be her disciple and was groomed to be her future successor.

His title of being born with full soul power may seem impressive to others.

But in the eyes of a pope who has already begun to undergo divine trials and whose goals have long surpassed the boundaries of mortals, it is probably just "not bad."

The key to winning over Bibi Dong was her innate spiritual power and the shared sense of destiny.

"What, you don't want to?"

Seeing that Hu Liena hadn't come to her senses for a long time, Bibi Dong's lips curled into a slight smile.

"No!"

Hu Liena gasped in surprise, then realized her rudeness.

He quickly lowered his head and knelt on one knee in the main hall: "I...I, this disciple is willing!"

Bibi Dong revealed a hint of satisfaction and raised one hand slightly: "Get up. As my disciple, you will cultivate with me from this day forward."

"Your talent is exceptional. If you can break through to the Soul Master realm within five years, you can shed the 'registered disciple' label and become my personal disciple."

For an ordinary person, going from initial awakening of a Soul Master to breaking through to the Soul Venerable level within five years would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

However, for Hu Liena, who is extremely talented and will never lack resources in the future, this can only be considered a test of moderate difficulty.

"Yes, teacher."

Hu Liena got up from the ground, her excitement overwhelming her, and her body trembled slightly.

"Yue Guan," Bibi Dong spoke again.

"Your subordinate is here."

"Yan and Xieyue are both top-tier talents and should not be wasted."

"You can arrange for him to enter the core class of the Spirit Hall Academy, with all resources provided according to the highest standards."

Bibi Dong's voice regained its usual majesty as she glanced at Xie Yue and Yan: "I hope you two will cultivate diligently, not waste your talents, and serve the Spirit Hall in the future."

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope will follow your teachings!" Xie Yue immediately knelt on one knee, his voice trembling with emotion.

This included the excitement of his younger sister being favored by the Pope and taken as a disciple, as well as the joy of being able to enter the core class of the Spirit Hall and enjoy the highest resources.

Yan also bowed again, following Xie Yue's instructions: "I will respectfully obey His Holiness the Pope's teachings."

Such treatment was expected, so he wasn't as excited as Xie Yue, but a look of joy still appeared on his face.

He was more concerned about the Flame God Body Tempering Technique, wondering to what extent this so-called top-level resource supply would enhance his strength.
