In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 220 Wang Zhao: Odd Changes, Even Remains the Same?

"So it seems Qingyi does have the aptitude to try cultivating two systems simultaneously. But regarding the soul ring configuration, I'd like to know how you originally planned it for her?"

Wang Zhao then asked.

"Um……"

Jiuxin hesitated for a moment.

"According to our family's long-standing tradition, choosing the Mandragora Serpent as the first spirit ring is the most suitable. Uh, Palace Master, you don't think it's strange for a plant-attribute martial soul to absorb a beast-type spirit ring, do you?"

"Of course not."

Wang Zhao smiled.

"I heard that a certain master proposed a related theory."

"Master? That Yu Xiaogang? Who is he...?"

Upon hearing this, Jiuxin shook his head.

Recently, he has been thinking about leading his family to re-emerge, so he has been learning about the current situation on the mainland, and has inquired about the deeds of famous people from top to bottom, including the so-called "number one theoretical master of the Soul Master world".

"Plant-attribute martial souls absorbing beast-type soul rings? Is it even his place to guess? Countless people have tried this over thousands of years, but they have all failed, or even if they succeeded, the effect was not significant. It is better to just absorb plant-type soul rings as usual."

"As for our family's inherited martial soul, the Dragon Pattern Rose, it is more accurate to say that it is a plant martial soul with dragon bloodline rather than a pure plant attribute martial soul. According to our family history, our family's Dragon Pattern Rose contains a trace of the bloodline of an ancient, unknown, power-type true dragon. The more dragon patterns on the rose petals, the more concentrated the dragon blood is, and the more domineering the power is."

"Under such circumstances, our family's inherited martial soul is qualified to simultaneously absorb both beast soul rings and plant soul rings. Of course, this only means that our family's soul masters have more choices in soul rings than ordinary soul masters."

"The Mandragora Serpent Soul Ring is more suitable for our family's inherited martial soul. However, Qingyi's martial soul has lost its toxicity due to mutation, so it is naturally not easy for her to absorb the Mandragora Serpent Soul Ring in the conventional way."

"So my original plan was to find soul beasts like the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent and the Iron-blooded Flower Monster, which either emphasize speed or strength and sharpness, to absorb, so as to enhance her early combat ability."

"After all, the emphasis of the spirit rings will directly change the spirit itself. The former can probably give Qingyi the spirit instantaneous and quick response capabilities, making her control more deceptive; while the latter mainly amplifies the advantages of her spirit, using the domineering power of the dragon pattern to bind the enemy, and sharpening the thorns on the flower branches to cause a tearing effect on the enemy."

"good……"

Hearing this, Wang Zhao nodded again, but then asked, "The latter choice is clearly better than the former. The reason you considered the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent is probably because of Qingyi's food-type cultivation path, right?"

Jiuxin smiled sheepishly.

"Yes, I don't know much about this, so I can only rely on the general public's understanding to make a preliminary plan for Qingyi. I'm thinking of waiting until she absorbs her first spirit ring to see the effect before considering her choice of subsequent spirit rings."

"Um."

Wang Zhao looked at Jiu Xin one last time and nodded with a firm expression.

"Since that's the case, then hand her over to me. I guarantee you here and now that Qianlong Academy will train her well and truly make her an unprecedented dual-element Soul Master of Control and Food!"

Jiuxin met Wang Zhao's gaze, said nothing, but calmly nodded.

Afterwards, Wang Zhao handed Jiu Qingyi over to Qian Renxue to take care of, asking her to take Jiu Qingyi to Qianlong Academy later. He then quickly went outside with Jiu Xin to discuss other matters.

Qian Renxue silently watched Wang Zhao's "elegant" departure, and couldn't help but puff out her cheeks, her gaze somewhat resentful.

You promised to go shopping with me...

Just then, she heard a little girl's timid voice beside her.

"Hello, sister, my name is Jiu Qingyi."

……

Several days have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Jiu Xin had officially entrusted Jiu Qingyi to Qianlong Academy and left. Under Wang Zhao's arrangement, Jiu Qingyi was directly sent to the core of Qianlong Academy, which was the closest small student dormitory to the Dragon Transformation Pool. However, it was more like a luxurious small building than a dormitory. The four girls living inside were Su Linglong, Tian Yue, Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran.

From now on, the five of them will receive top-notch training together at Qianlong Academy, but we won't go into details here.

The Heaven Dou City and even the entire continent have been getting more and more lively lately, with one explosive piece of news after another. However, the most eye-catching thing is the sacred ceremony that the Spirit Hall is about to begin!

Across the continent, from the royal families of the two great empires and the high-ranking officials of the three upper sects to ordinary soul masters and even commoners, everyone gathered around the nearest Martial Soul Branch Hall, either openly or secretly, all watching this grand ceremony.

What exactly is the Spirit Hall up to? We'll find out today.

In Wuhun City, Bibi Dong stood in the Papal Palace, gazing at the foot of the Hall of Worship, which should have been quiet and peaceful but was unusually bustling today. She gently tapped her Papal scepter with her fingers.

The hall was always quiet. Qian Daoliu was sitting cross-legged on the futon in front of the angel statue with his eyes closed in piety. A golden phantom slowly appeared in front of the angel statue.

At the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan's stronghold, a domineering and imposing figure stepped through the air, his eyes gazing into the distance with profound depth.

In Xingluo City, a tall, handsome, resolute, and mature-looking middle-aged man silently donned a black robe and headed towards the Martial Soul Temple within the city.

Barak City, Silves City, Northland City...

Such noisy scenes are playing out all over mainland China.

Ultimately, the camera will focus on Tiandou City, where the undercurrents are most turbulent.

In the Moon Pavilion, Tang Yuehua plucked a roll of letter paper from the leg of a swallow with pointed tails. Upon opening it, the Haotian Sect's emblem was clearly visible on the paper. After silently examining it for a while, she instructed the person outside the door, "Someone, prepare the carriage. We're heading to the Martial Soul Temple."

Outside Tiandou City.

Wang Zhao sat leisurely on the dragon's head, with Qian Renxue beside him, her mood somewhat complicated and nervous. Behind them, the two titled Douluo, Qian Jun and Dugu Bo, flew in the air.

Just as they were about to enter the city, by sheer coincidence, the group ran into two of the three giants of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, who were also heading to the Martial Soul Temple in Heaven Dou City. They were none other than the well-known Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi. As for Gu Rong, he naturally stayed in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to guard the home. Oh, and on Chen Xin's enlarged flying sword, there was a quiet little girl sitting.

The meeting between the leaders of the two super powers naturally involved a round of polite greetings. Qianjun and Chenxin looked at each other from afar, with a hint of fighting spirit rising in the air. At this moment, the little girl was patted by Ning Fengzhi and looked at Wang Zhao before reluctantly managing to say, "Greetings, Palace Master Brother."

Upon seeing this, Wang Zhao's eyes flashed with a strange light.

"Odd changes, even remains the same?"
