Douluo Continent: I Have a Nameless Law

As for the Hall of Offerings and the Hall of Elders, they are located far behind the Papal Palace, and are generally not visible or accessible to the general public.

I won't say much about the Papal Palace; it's where the popes have ruled throughout history.

The Douluo Hall is the most sacred place in the history of the continent where the spirit tablets of the Douluo with titles from all dynasties are enshrined. Even the Pope could not enter the Douluo Hall before his death.

It is recognized by all Soul Masters on the continent as the Holy Land of Soul Masters, and its status in their hearts is even higher than that of the Papal Palace.

The Papal Palace is the most magnificent building on the continent; just standing in front of it evokes a sense of awe.

Above the ninety-nine steps lies the location of the Papal Palace. Directly in front of the palace stands a statue of an angel, the six-winged angel most symbolic of the Spirit Hall.

Yue Guan led Gu Han through the doors of the Papal Palace and respectfully entered.

At the very top of the hall, a dashing blond man sat languidly yet imposingly on the papal throne. He glanced down at the two people below, but did not speak first.

"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope."

Gu Han followed Yue Guan, one hand on his chest, kneeling on one knee.

"Well, no need to be polite."

Chihiro's voice seems to have its own built-in speaker, giving people a natural sense of oppression.

"Thank you, Your Holiness the Pope."

The two then got up.

"Yue Guan, this child must be the one you're supposed to pick up, right? Didn't I tell you to take him to school?"

"What brings you to my papal palace?"

Qian Xunji stood up, walked down the steps with his hands behind his back, and his golden eyes made Gu Han's hair stand on end.

Yue Guan dared not meet his gaze, and with her head down, she repeated what Gu Han had said to her.

"Oh, interesting. I didn't expect you to have this kind of ability?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji raised an eyebrow and gently squeezed Gu Han's shoulder.

"Yes, his physique is indeed stronger than that of an ordinary Great Soul Master, and he even has the physique of a high-level Soul Venerable. That's right, you're not lying."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Holiness. I was just lucky to have discovered it."

Qian Xunji sized up Gu Han and said, "I heard that you like to study martial spirit theory?"

"Just some minor hobbies," Gu Han answered honestly.

Qian Xunji nodded. This child was quite humble and had good talent. With the help of whale glue, his talent was no weaker than those innate level seven or eight soul masters.

Coupled with his own hard work, he is indeed a promising talent.

Moreover, this child is studious, and keeping him around might influence Xiao Dong.

The thought of his disciple Qian Xunji gave him a headache. Xiao Dong's talent was indeed one in a hundred years, but he just didn't like to study. Every time he tried to read, he looked like he was about to fall asleep, and no matter what he said, it was no use.

Perhaps having a studious playmate could also provide more encouragement for Xiaodong.

Thinking of this, Qian Xunji asked, "I intend to take you as my student. Are you willing?"

Gu Han's eyes widened in surprise, and even Yue Guan was equally shocked. His Holiness the Pope had actually offered to take this child as his disciple.

Qian Xunji was very satisfied with Gu Han's expression, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

"What, you don't want to?"

"No, disciple greets teacher!" Gu Han immediately came to his senses and performed a disciple-acceptance ceremony.

No matter how despicable Qian Xunji may be in the future, it will not change the fact that the other party is the most powerful figure in the world, so he will naturally not refuse.

Moreover, the other party brought it up on their own initiative, and Yue Guan was watching over them.

If he were to refuse, he would be offending the other party, and wouldn't he be in a very bad situation?

"Hmm, not bad. You'll be my student from now on. You also have a senior sister. Get settled in today, and I'll introduce you to her tomorrow."

Qian Xunji was very satisfied with Gu Han's attitude, his tone softened considerably, and he changed his form of address accordingly.

"Yue Guan, settle Xiao Han in the Papal Palace, and then you can go back to rest."

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope."

Yue Guan bowed slightly and led Gu Han away from the main hall.

Chapter 11 First Encounter with Bibi Dong

"You're lucky, kid. His Holiness the Pope actually agreed to take you as a student."

On the way, Yue Guan didn't forget to tease Gu Han.

"Senior Yue Guan, please stop teasing me. Actually, I don't know how to describe my feelings right now."

Gu Han gave a wry smile. To be honest, Qian Xunji wanting to take him as a student was really not in his plans at all; it was something he had never expected.

When Qian Xunji suddenly brought this up, he was also extremely shocked.

Logically speaking, he only provided information about the effects of whale glue, which was far from being valuable enough to warrant a titled Douluo or even the Pope personally accepting him as a disciple.

"You little brat, you're getting a good deal and then acting all innocent. His Holiness the Pope has accepted you as a disciple, shouldn't you be happy? Why are you smiling bitterly?"

"Uh, Senior Yue Guan, of course I am happy that His Holiness the Pope has accepted me as his disciple, but I am just a little overwhelmed by the honor."

"I am flattered. That's true, after all, His Holiness the Pope only accepted Xiao Dongdong as a student."

Yue Guan realized that this kid was just a teenager after all. Even if he was mature enough to be taken as a disciple by His Holiness the Pope, he would still show his lack of experience.

"Little Dongdong..."

Gu Han was speechless to himself, his face twitching. Was this referring to Bibi Dong?

Thinking of Bibi Dong's domineering queen-like appearance in the future, and recalling Yue Guan's earlier address, Gu Han immediately shook his head, banishing the incongruity from his mind.

Bibi Dong is only 9 years old now, so it's not surprising that Yue Guan, a Soul Douluo, calls her "Little Dongdong." I just hope that Yue Guan will still have the courage to call her that in the future.

Yue Guan led Gu Han all the way to the Martial Soul Academy and arranged a single room for Gu Han.

This is not a special treatment, but because those who can enter the Martial Soul Academy are among the most outstanding geniuses in the entire continent, and each person has their own single dormitory.

Give everyone privacy.

"Alright, you can rest here for the day, I'm leaving."

After making the arrangements, Yue Guan was a little tired. He also had a garden to tend to. What if his beloved flowers and plants withered while he was away for a few days?

"Yes, Senior Yue Guan, thank you for your help along the way."

"Let's go, let's stop with all this nonsense, it's tiring."

Yue Guan waved his hand and left without looking back.

After seeing Yue Guan off, Gu Han closed the door to his dormitory.

The dormitory room is only about 60 or 70 square meters in size. The overall style of the room is similar to that of Europe, but it also has a touch of Chinese rusticity. This seemingly incongruous combination actually doesn't feel out of place at all.

Upon entering the foyer, the kitchen is on the right, and the bathroom and toilet are combined on the left.

This room is more than enough for one person, and there's plenty of room to spare.

Because it's a dormitory, there's no living room. The south side of the room is a balcony, and opening the floor-to-ceiling curtains allows plenty of sunlight into the room.

The room was fully equipped; Gu Han only needed to go out to buy some towels and toiletries.

After a long and tiring journey, Gu Han was also quite exhausted, so he simply lay down on the bed and rested for the night.

The next morning, there was a knock on Gu Han's dormitory door.

"Gu Xiaogui, is he inside?"

It was Yue Guan's voice. Gu Han quickly got out of bed, responded, straightened his slightly wrinkled clothes, and opened the door.

Sure enough, Yue Guan was leaning against a pillar in the corridor outside the door.

"Good morning, Senior Yue Guan."

"Don't be so early. Wash your face, change your clothes, and come with me to meet your teacher."

Yue Guan looked Gu Han up and down and spoke, while taking out a Martial Soul Academy exclusive uniform from his soul tool.

"This is your school uniform. Wear this for now if you don't have any other clothes."

"Thank you, Senior Yue Guan. Please wait for me."

Gu Han nodded, took the clothes, went back into the house, washed his face, combed his hair, and changed his clothes.

Because he was a sword cultivator, Gu Han naturally possessed a sharp and piercing aura. Now, after changing into a proper set of clothes, he seemed like a completely different person, exuding extraordinary heroic spirit.

"Indeed, clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse. I wonder how many young girls will be captivated by your outfit."

Yue Guan winked seductively at Gu Han.

Gu Han immediately got goosebumps and said with a wry smile, "Senior Yue Guan, please stop teasing me. Let's set off quickly; we can't keep our teacher waiting."

"That's right, let's go."

Yue Guan nodded, not daring to delay, and quickly led Gu Han to the Papal Palace's back garden.

The scenery here is beautiful, and many plants that Gu Han does not recognize are planted here.

In the garden, there was a pavilion where Qian Xunji was drinking tea. Beside him was a beautiful little girl.

The little girl had long, wine-red hair, delicate features, and a slightly chubby face, making her look incredibly cute. She was staring at Gu Han with the same curious gaze.

"Greetings, Pope."

"I've met you, teacher."

Gu Han deeply understood the principle of taking advantage of opportunities, and addressed the teacher without any sense of shame. There was no other way; someone like him, without any affiliation or school of thought, was just too eager to improve.

Before one grows up, it is necessary to have a strong teacher to guide and protect them.

"Okay, get up." Qian Xunji nodded, then looked at Yue Guan and said, "Yue Guan, go and rest."

"Thank you, Teacher Xie."

"Thank you, Your Holiness. I will take my leave now." Yue Guan replied and turned to leave.

After Yue Guan left, Qian Xunji pointed at Bibi Dong and spoke.
