In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

Chapter 213 Yue Guan Qian Renxue Comes Searching

Lin Hai's actions made the two old men feel that their kindness towards him was worthwhile. Although they had long known that Lin Hai was a grateful person, when this reward actually came their way, their feeling became a reality.

Lin Hai remembered their kindness, whether it was the immortal herb or the soul bone that nourished their granddaughter. Both proved Lin Hai's character.

"Alright, now that you've all received the soul bone reward, hurry up and absorb it! Otherwise, things might get complicated."

"Yes!" X4.

The four who obtained the soul bones were eager to absorb them, especially Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran, who had not yet absorbed any soul bones, and were the most excited.

After they took their leave, they each went their own way.

After they left, Dugu Bo and Meng Shu finally had a chance to talk behind closed doors.

"Xiao Hai! It's rare that you're still thinking about our granddaughter."

"Teacher, you old poisoner, you're just making fun of me. If it weren't for you, would I be who I am today?" Lin Hai said with a smile.

"If it weren't for the immortal herbs from the Poison Old Man's Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, let alone those three soul bones, we probably wouldn't even have had a chance to win the championship of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. If it weren't for the immortal herbs enhancing the strength of Sister Yanzi, Yiran, Jiabao, and me, we really wouldn't have been able to defeat the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall."

"Teacher, you have helped me a lot, and you have been kind to me just as much. I will not let you down."

"If you hadn't given me your head's soul bone, I wouldn't have the soul power and achievements I have now."

"I'm very happy to be able to help Yiran and Sister Yanzi."

"Besides, they also made huge contributions to the victory of the competition. It just so happens that I have extra soul bones, and they can all get them, so it won't affect our relationship."

"Hahaha, you little rascal, we only said one sentence and you replied with ten." Dugu Bo looked at Meng Shu and teased Lin Hai.

"Alright, you should get lost too, hehe." Meng Shu said with a laugh.

"Okay, teacher, old poisoner, I'll take my leave now."

"Hmm!" Lin Hai then left as well.

……

After the champion's prize was distributed, everyone went back to their own training.

After absorbing the soul bone, Feng Xiaotian decided to go home.

After all, he had made a promise to Shenfeng Academy: they would let him go and allow him to successfully transfer to the Beast Academy, while he would become the champion and bring fame to Shenfeng Academy. Now it was time for him to fulfill his promise.

As it turns out, Shenfeng Academy made the right bet. Before Feng Xiaotian even returned, their reputation for gambling had already become well-known.

The new enrollment season is almost here, and if Feng Xiaotian goes back now, he'll have the best enrollment brochure for Shenfeng Academy. Wherever he is, people will flock to him.

Mu Jiabao and Meng Yiran returned to their inseparable romance. After the competition ended, the required long and rigorous training sessions were no longer necessary.

Actually, Feng Xiaotian's eagerness to return was partly due to Huo Wu. Huo Wu's proactive expression of love stirred up memories of Feng Xiaotian's love at first sight. Although he wouldn't fawn over her anymore, Huo Wu's initiative did indeed bring him back to his previous feelings.

Grandpa and grandson Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo now basically stay at the Beast Academy, thanks in no small part to little Jia Yue.

This little guy made Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo so happy! They were so happy they forgot all about home.

In fact, Dugu Bo had spent many years in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye to suppress the poison in his body by using its unique environment.

Since Lin Hai removed the poison from his bloodline, he no longer needs to spend years at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well suppressing the toxins.

As for Dugu Yan, she has nowhere else to go but with her grandfather. Fortunately, the two of them have a good impression of Lin Hai, so they decided to stay at the Beast Academy. Besides, there's also Kaixinbao here; although Xiao Jiayue is playful, she's also extremely obedient.

Anyway, in this Beast Academy, the little guy is the one who gets pampered, so as for worrying about whether he'll be spoiled...

Lin Hai said he wasn't worried at all, as he could continue to pamper Xiao Jiayue because she would become stronger and stronger.

As for Lin Hai's post-match matters, he is currently in seclusion.

During the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, his soul power broke through to level 57.

It has been less than a year since Lin Hai obtained his fifth spirit ring.

His soul power increased too quickly. Although Lin Hai himself was eager to improve his strength quickly, he was also afraid that the rapid increase would lead to an unstable foundation.

However, Lin Hai did not slack off in cultivating his soul power. Instead, he studied soul tools while cultivating.

When researching soul tools, it is inevitable to use soul power. Soul power is consumed and then replenished. This can not only increase the cultivation speed, but also stabilize the soul power.

In order to prepare for the impending war and to unify the Douluo Continent as soon as possible, Lin Hai began to research war soul tools. Moreover, Tang San's hidden weapons were not as bad as imagined; on the contrary, at this stage, Tang San's hidden weapons were quite powerful.

However, Lin Hai was confident that the soul tool he had researched could disable Tang San's hidden weapons. Of course, the soul tool that Lin Hai could research was only suitable for warfare; his current level was not yet sufficient for fighting against advanced soul masters.

Regarding the enhancement of combat power, Lin Hai was quite interested in the so-called battle armor technology. However, nothing can be accomplished overnight; he currently only had the idea and couldn't guarantee that he could manufacture it. Perhaps by the time he could manufacture it, he would have reached another level, and then he would be researching the forging of divine artifacts.

Lin Hai once again entered that leisurely time before the competition, going back and forth between the research lab and home, and playing with Xiao Jiayue every day.

Lin Hai didn't want to go out and train anytime soon. Firstly, he was already level 57 and not far from level 60; secondly, he finally had a little sister and wanted to spend more time with Jia Yue as she grew up!

Although Tang Hao was a formidable obstacle, Lin Hai knew that cultivation could not be rushed. After reaching level 60, Lin Hai would begin training to enhance his strength.

Lin Hai now hopes that his great-uncle Ju Douluo is real, so that he can provide his family with a stable guarantee of safety.

Four months later, through his daily work and cultivation, Lin Hai's soul power cultivation reached level fifty-eight. His research on soul tools also made some progress.

That day, Lin Hai was chatting with Dugu Bo while holding Lin Jiayue in his arms during his free time! However, a gatekeeper from the academy came to report that someone was looking for him.

Lin Hai was a little puzzled. Who could be looking for him at this time? He had basically refused to see the nobles he disliked, using the excuse of needing to cultivate. As for those he wanted to see, such as the royal family of the Kingdom of Silves, he had no choice but to meet them, and he had already done so.

Filled with suspicion, Lin Hai prepared to go and take a look.

"Come on, I'll go with you to take a look."

"Little Yue'er, come here, Grandpa will take you out to play." Dugu Bo called out to Lin Jiayue in a gentle voice.

"Going out to play? Yay! Here I come, Poison Grandpa."

"Hey, Yueyue, slow down."

"Hehehe, come and chase me, Sister Yan." Lin Jiayue's silvery laughter was a pleasure to everyone who heard it.

"Alright, just wait and see how I punish you when I catch up with you." Dugu Yan pretended to chase after him.

"Ah!" Lin Jiayue exclaimed in surprise when she saw that Dugu Yan had really caught up with her, and then ran faster towards Dugu Bo.

"Grandpa Poison, save Little Yueyue!" she cried out to Dugu Bo as she ran.

"Come here to Grandpa, your sister Yan won't be able to catch you here!" Dugu Bo said with a smile.

"Ah!" Lin Jiayue quickened her pace and fell into Dugu Bo's arms. Dugu Bo picked her up, and the sudden feeling of weightlessness made Lin Jiayue creak softly.

"Hehehe, Sister Yan, you can't catch me!" With Dugu Bo as her backer, Lin Jiayue became smug towards Dugu Yan.

"Hmph, little Yueyue, this is also my grandfather!" With that, Dugu Yan rushed over, trying to snatch Lin Jiayue from Dugu Bo's arms.

However, Dugu Bo turned to the side, and Dugu Yan missed him perfectly.

"Grandpa! You've gone too far!" Dugu Yan stopped and called out to Dugu Bo in a coquettish manner.

"You're such a grown-up, still acting like a child, tch!" Dugu Bo curled his lip.

"Grandpa, were you just saying that you were disgusted with me?" Dugu Yan said blankly.

"You're a grown woman now, still trying to act cute. How can your cuteness compare to our little Yueyue?"

Dugu Yan suddenly felt that she was no longer loved.

"Hehehe, alright, Sister Yan, didn't you realize that the old poisoner was just teasing you?"

"Hahaha!" Sure enough, after Lin Hai told the truth, Dugu Bo burst into laughter.

"Our Yanyan is so innocent!"

"Ugh, Grandpa, you're really something, lying to me again."

"Hehehehe, Sister Yan, how embarrassing!"

"Hmph, if I can't arrange things for Grandpa, can't I arrange things for you, little guy?" As she spoke, Dugu Yan took advantage of a moment when Dugu Bo was laughing to pick up the little guy and start rubbing his armpits.

"Hehehehehehehe." The little guy was amused and laughed heartily.

"Sister Yan, Little Yueyue was wrong, hehehe..."

"Alright, stop playing around, let's go see who contacted your little brother!"

"Oh!" Dugu Yan stopped making a fuss.

Little Jiayue knew something important was going on, so she stopped fooling around and behaved well on the way.

……

"Elder, how do I look today?" A strange woman appeared beside Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, but her voice sounded familiar.

"This... Young Master, you didn't actually have to come." Yue Guan said helplessly, looking at Qian Renxue, who had deliberately changed her appearance.

In the second month after Lin Hai left Tian Dou City, Qian Renxue followed Lin Hai's advice and wrote a letter to her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, roughly meaning that she wanted to change the guards, replacing the Serpent Spear Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo with the Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Ghost Douluo.

When the letter reached Qian Daoliu, he immediately expressed his doubts. Although he was no longer managing the Spirit Hall, he still knew that Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo played a significant role in the positive affairs of the Spirit Hall.

However, Qian Daoliu was a doting granddaughter after all, and he also knew that sending Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo would not affect his granddaughter's grand plan. In any case, when it was time to expose her, it wouldn't change anything just because she was standing next to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo instead of Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo.

Although Qian Daoliu no longer manages the affairs of the Spirit Hall, he remains the supreme First Elder of the Spirit Hall's Hall of Worship, a level 99 demigod. His position in the Spirit Hall's Elder Hall is unshakeable, even by Bibi Dong.

Since Qian Daoliu believed there wouldn't be any unexpected problems, he simply said one sentence and Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo switched jobs. Bibi Dong was extremely unwilling because Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were the most obedient to her in the Spirit Hall, and Bibi Dong even suspected that Qian Renxue was doing it on purpose.

Although unwilling, she had no choice but to let Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, two titled Douluo she was extremely comfortable with, leave.

Qian Renxue's trip was ostensibly a tour of various countries, and their first stop was the Kingdom of Silves. This inspection wasn't particularly grand, but the security was sufficient, with the Royal Knights and Soul Emperor-level guards. Therefore, news of the Heaven Dou Empire's Crown Prince's inspection tour hadn't yet spread.

Sure enough, Qian Renxue had just arrived in the Kingdom of Silves and attended a private banquet yesterday to discuss matters. Today, she changed her identity and ran away with Chrysanthemum Douluo.

The reason why Chrysanthemum Douluo was still in a good mood after changing jobs was because his current job was not as complicated or demanding as his previous one. Most importantly, his current job gave him time to search for the bloodline left behind by his sister.

After the competition ended, he was constantly being assigned tasks by Bibi Dong and couldn't leave at all. As for taking leave, forget it. He didn't want his sister's lineage to come into Bibi Dong's sight. Having followed Bibi Dong for so many years, even without Lin Hai's evaluation of Bibi Dong, he knew Bibi Dong's character.

If he were to request leave, Bibi Dong would definitely ask questions. If he didn't answer, she would doubt his loyalty. If he did answer, Bibi Dong would definitely investigate, and she would find unprecedented leverage over him. Previously, he was alone, and his stay at the Spirit Hall was only because of the good treatment he received there, and he had also met Ghost Douluo. Although he had no intention of leaving the Spirit Hall, anyone would feel very uncomfortable if someone had leverage over them.

Although it's unclear why the young master transferred him and Old Ghost to her side, it conveniently gave Chrysanthemum Douluo an opportunity. Moreover, Chrysanthemum Douluo's feelings towards Qian Renxue are better than his feelings towards Bibi Dong. Firstly, Qian Renxue possesses an Angelic Martial Soul, which upholds justice and would generally not engage in despicable acts like kidnapping someone's child. Secondly, Qian Renxue is a woman, and is full of kindness at heart.

I'd like to recommend a cultivation novel to everyone: "Family Cultivation: Reborn in a Monster Breeding Farm." It's a family-based cultivation novel with a rather novel theme. I encourage you to check it out.
