"Xiao Fan, you're really outstanding. Why don't you spar with the teacher and see for yourself?" Hu Liena suggested.
"Senior sister, don't talk nonsense. Teacher is very strong. Let me tell you a secret, Teacher is now a level 99 Limit Douluo." Duan Yu Fan was a little embarrassed. He hadn't become arrogant enough to compare himself to a Limit Douluo.
"Huh! Teacher is a level 99 Limit Douluo? I thought he was around level 96." Hu Liena said with a bewildered look.
It's not surprising that Hu Liena made such a guess, after all, Bibi Dong wasn't actually that powerful, and even the Grand Elder Qian Daoliu wasn't sure of Bibi Dong's exact soul power level.
"That's right, the teacher's talent is also extraordinary. It can be said that in the teacher's generation, the teacher's talent was ranked first in the entire continent."
Duan Yufan explained to Hu Liena, and also gave her some popular science information.
"Teacher's soul power level? I really didn't expect it to be that high. But Xiao Fan, how did you know about Teacher's soul power level?" Hu Liena was very surprised, as if she was seeing her teacher Bibi Dong for the first time.
"I broke through to Soul Saint three days ago. Of course, my teacher told me personally and even showed me his Soul Rings. Don't tell Xie Yue and the others about my teacher's strength. There must be a reason why he's hiding his strength like this." Duan Yufan whispered to Hu Liena, reminding her not to tell anyone.
"I know, I'm not stupid." Hu Liena rolled her eyes at Duan Yufan.
"Senior sister, you're tempting me again." Duan Yufan watched with a unique interest.
"whee?)"
"Senior Sister, we should go out too. We've been admiring the flowers all afternoon, Elder Ju might be upset. We've kept Elder Ju from watering the flowers." Duan Yufan kissed Hu Liena as he spoke.
"Yes! I'm going to have lunch with my teacher," Hu Liena said sweetly.
Duan Yufan and Hu Liena then walked out of Chrysanthemum Douluo's courtyard, but they hadn't gone far when they found Chrysanthemum Douluo coming towards them.
Zhu Zhuqing 91 years later
Duan Yufan saw that Chrysanthemum Douluo seemed to be coming towards him, because Chrysanthemum Douluo stopped in front of him and Hu Liena.
"Elder Ju, is there something you need?" Duan Yufan asked, puzzled.
"Yes, Your Highness, there's someone at the Spirit Hall gate who specifically asked to see you by name. She's a rather aloof little girl. The guards told me about her. I figured that if she knew your name, she must know you, so I came to report to you," Chrysanthemum Douluo said politely.
"A little girl! A rather cold little girl?" Duan Yufan couldn't think of her for a moment.
"How big is it?" Hu Liena asked from the side.
"The guards said he's about the same age as the Holy Son," Chrysanthemum Douluo said, unsure himself.
"Oh! I remember now, it should be Zhu Zhuqing, the second young lady of the Zhu family in the Star Luo Empire. I told her before that if she wanted to join the Spirit Hall, she could come to the Spirit Hall in Spirit City to find me anytime." Duan Yufan slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, then remembered Zhu Zhuqing whom he had met three years ago.
"It's her. I've met her before. She's a pretty stubborn girl." After Duan Yufan mentioned it, Hu Liena remembered her too.
"Is it starting already? I didn't expect it to be so soon." Duan Yufan felt like he was in a dream, not expecting it to start so quickly.
"Xiao Fan, what did you say?" Hu Liena stood next to Duan Yufan and heard his rambling.
"It's nothing, let's go see if it's as we guessed," Duan Yufan said, walking ahead.
“Okay.” Hu Liena thought she had misheard and didn’t pay any attention.
Before long, they arrived at the entrance of the Spirit Hall. Duan Yufan saw Zhu Zhuqing, dressed in all black, standing alone at the gate. She was thin and had a cold expression, even more indifferent than she had been three years ago.
Three years later, Zhu Zhuqing was already over 1.6 meters tall. Although she was very thin, she was no less than Hu Liena a few years earlier in other aspects.
"Miss Zhu, it's been a long time. If it weren't for the fact that your demeanor is so similar to what it was three years ago, I almost wouldn't have recognized you." Duan Yufan stepped through the door and greeted Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing quietly, with a smile.
"Greetings, Your Highness, Holy Son and Holy Daughter." The guards on both sides of the gate immediately bowed and clasped their hands in greeting upon seeing Duan Yufan and Hu Liena.
"Ah."
"Zhu Zhuqing greets the Holy Son." Zhu Zhuqing looked at Duan Yufan, who hadn't changed much, and greeted him coldly before falling silent.
"I didn't expect you to come after all. Three years have passed, and I thought you wouldn't come anymore. What happened to make you so desperate?" Duan Yufan looked at the cold and aloof Zhu Zhuqing and couldn't help but say.
Zhu Zhuqing remained silent for a long time before slowly and gently recounting her story.
"You all know the traditions of the Star Luo Empire's royal family and the Zhu family..."
It turns out that after the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament ended, Davis lost to the Martial Soul Team. Unwilling to fall behind, he worked hard to improve himself and at the same time became even more determined to suppress his younger brother.
Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing's fiancé, fled the Star Luo Empire a year after the Elite Tournament because he couldn't bear the blows from his brother Davis. This meant he left Zhu Zhuqing alone to face the suppression from both Davis and Zhu Zhuyun.
Zhu Zhuqing later found out Dai Mubai's location and fled the Star Luo Empire, but her sister Zhu Zhuyun continued to chase after her.
Zhu Zhuqing traveled over mountains and valleys, arriving alone at the Barak Kingdom, one of the four major kingdoms affiliated with the Tiandou Empire.
Zhu Zhuqing then arrived at Dai Mubai's location in Soto City of the Barak Kingdom, but what Zhu Zhuqing despaired about still happened.
Zhu Zhuqing arrived at a hotel called Rose and unexpectedly witnessed Dai Mubai with two women on his left and right, and even saw him lose to a second-ring Great Soul Master.
At this moment, everything Zhu Zhuqing had held onto collapsed instantly. Zhu Zhuqing originally thought that Dai Mubai had fled the Star Luo Empire to find a quiet place to cultivate diligently, but what Zhu Zhuqing saw was Dai Mubai's depravity.
Zhu Zhuqing stood coldly in a corner of the hotel lobby, witnessing her fiancé Dai Mubai arguing with a second-ring Great Soul Master. What made Zhu Zhuqing most desperate was that Dai Mubai had actually lost, lost to a second-ring Great Soul Master.
The next day, Zhu Zhuqing followed the great soul master to an academy called Shrek Academy. The dilapidated state of the academy made Zhu Zhuqing even more desperate, and she silently left Soto City.
Zhu Zhuqing felt utterly hopeless. She wandered aimlessly along the road, her eyes filled with confusion, and a tear slowly rolled down her cheek.
All the moments of her life flashed through her mind, and finally, the words of the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall and Duan Yufan, whom she had met three years ago, flashed through her mind.
Zhu Zhuqing felt as if everything she had encountered had been foreseen by this Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.
Moreover, after Zhu Zhuqing inquired about some information about Duan Yufan, she discovered that the Duan Yufan she met three years ago was only 11 years old.
So Zhu Zhuqing came to the Spirit Hall in Spirit City to find Duan Yufan, clinging to a sliver of hope.
By the time Duan Yufan, Hu Liena, and others finished recounting the events of the past three years to Zhu Zhuqing, it was already getting dark.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't go into details, only gave a general overview, but this still made Hu Liena furious, furious at people like Dai Mubai.
Having spoken for so long, it was impossible for them to stand at the gate of the Spirit Hall. As soon as Zhu Zhuqing began her story, Duan Yufan led her to his courtyard.
"How can there be such a person? He actually abandoned his fiancée to indulge in debauchery outside. A Soul Venerable can't even defeat a Great Soul Master." Hu Liena, as a woman, spoke up for Zhu Zhuqing, feeling indignant.
When Duan Yufan heard Zhu Zhuqing's account, although it was only a brief summary, it was roughly in line with his expectations. Therefore, the person Dai Mubai fought at the Rose Hotel should be Tang San.
"Alright, Senior Sister, don't be angry. It's not worth getting angry over someone like that," Duan Yufan comforted Hu Liena.
"Zhu Zhuqing, have you thought it through? Are you sure you want to join the Spirit Hall? I can guarantee that you will surpass Dai Mubai within a few years, and I will also let you participate in the Elite Tournament two years from now. Defeat your sister with your own hands."
"Of course, after you join the Spirit Hall, I can give you some resources, but how many levels of spirit power you can reach within two years depends on your efforts."
After comforting Hu Liena, Duan Yufan turned to Zhu Zhuqing and made a promise.
"Your Highness, I am determined to join the Spirit Hall. This is my last hope. I want to use my own hands to escape this heartless and cruel fate of my family," Zhu Zhuqing said with a hint of pleading.
"Haha, no rush. You've been traveling a lot lately, so rest at the Spirit Hall for the night first. I think you probably haven't eaten yet. My senior sister and I haven't eaten either. We were just about to go eat when you showed up."
Duan Yufan calmed Zhu Zhuqing down and slowly offered his suggestion.
"I will listen to His Highness." After calming down, Zhu Zhuqing could not hide the fatigue in her eyes.
Duan Yufan made this suggestion after noticing Zhu Zhuqing's condition.
Zhu Zhuqing then followed Duan Yufan and Hu Liena to the cafeteria. After they finished eating, Duan Yufan took Zhu Zhuqing to a guest room and let her stay there temporarily.
Ninety-two Quiet Cats
After Duan Yufan and Hu Liena settled Zhu Zhuqing in, Duan Yufan went to the Papal Palace to meet Bibi Dong.
"Xiao Fan, it's so late, why aren't you going to sleep? What are you doing here?"
Although Bibi Dong had already guessed it, she still asked Duan Yufan about his purpose in coming.
"Teacher, what do you think of Zhu Zhuqing, the second young lady of the Zhu family in the Star Luo Empire? How should we arrange things for her? I think she has good talent and is quite diligent in her cultivation. I can sense that she already has level 26 soul power."
Duan Yufan decided to consult Bibi Dong first.
"You can handle this yourself. Our Spirit Hall doesn't care about background. Any Soul Master can join, and it's not bad to reduce the number of Netherworld White Tigers in the future."
Bibi Dong naturally learned of this information as well.
"Teacher, I still have quite a few immortal herbs. I plan to give her one. I think she is worth nurturing. She should be able to become a Title Douluo after consuming an immortal herb."
Duan Yufan expressed his thoughts, believing that if he was going to help, he should help to the end.
"Xiancao, Xiaofan, you decide what to do. After all, a little girl can't cause much trouble. However, you should give her a proper warning." Bibi Dong had no ideas and left everything to Duan Yufan to decide.
"Teacher, I understand."
After finishing his sentence, Duan Yufan turned and left the Papal Palace, returning to his own courtyard.
Hu Liena was still sitting in the yard when she saw Duan Yufan return, and she stood up.
"Xiao Fan, what did the teacher say?"
"The teacher has no objections; it's entirely up to me to decide."
Duan Yufan told Bibi Dong because Bibi Dong is the head of the Spirit Hall. Although it's not impossible for him to make decisions on his own, Duan Yufan still felt it was inappropriate not to tell Bibi Dong.
"Xiao Fan, how are you going to help Zhu Zhuqing? Give her some immortal herbs, otherwise she might not be able to catch up with someone like Dai Mubai." Hu Liena said, still somewhat indignant when she mentioned Dai Mubai.
"Yes, that's what I'm planning too. Otherwise, in two years, Zhu Zhuqing will only be at the Soul Venerable level at most. How can she compete with her sister?"
Duan Yufan had to admit that the innate soul power limited the people of Douluo Continent. There were basically no special cultivation methods, only a relatively primitive unified meditation cultivation method.
This also leads to a large difference in soul power among people of the same innate soul power at different ages, especially in youth, where the gap in soul power levels widens, unless there are other special opportunities.
"That's good. It's getting late, so I'll head back now. Xiao Fan, get some rest." Hu Liena looked at the late hour and decided to return to the next room.
"Yes, Senior Sister, you should also get some rest. Tomorrow, call Zhu Zhuqing and bring her here to eat the immortal herb," Duan Yufan reminded her.
"Ok."
After Zhu Zhuqing was placed in a guest room by Duan Yufan, she couldn't sleep at all. Besides her years of vigilance, she was also in an unfamiliar environment and was even thinking about what Duan Yufan had said.
In fact, Zhu Zhuqing was quite uneasy when she came to the Spirit Hall in Spirit City to find Duan Yufan, after all, they were not related and had only met once.
Zhu Zhuqing couldn't understand how Duan Yufan could possibly get himself to participate in the elite competition two years later and face off against his sister.
Although Zhu Zhuqing was unwilling to admit defeat, she had to acknowledge that her older sister would definitely reach the late-stage Soul Master level in two years, while she herself would probably only reach the Soul Venerable level at most in two years.
As she pondered, Zhu Zhuqing slowly drifted into sleep. Having fled from the Star Luo Empire to the Heaven Dou Empire without a moment's rest, traversing half of the Douluo Continent, she was utterly exhausted, and finally fell asleep in an unfamiliar place.
The next morning, Zhu Zhuqing was awakened by the sound of a door opening. She sat up reflexively and only relaxed her guard when she saw Hu Liena enter the room.
Hu Liena arrived early in the morning as promised, before sunrise, and went to the room where Zhu Zhuqing was resting.
