6: Yu Xiaogang

Regarding the cave, since Little Fairy Doctor temporarily had no plans to act, Mo Yuhan could only wait.

Moreover, even if they obtained those Dou Skills now, they couldn't cultivate them before becoming a Dou Zhe.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

Mo Yuhan was now 7 years old, and he had officially joined the Inner Courtyard of the Martial Soul Hall Academy shortly after his Spirit awakening, becoming a key cultivation target.

However, at this time, the Martial Soul Hall didn't yet have the concept of the Golden Generation; that would have to wait several decades for the Golden Generation centered around Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan.

The Golden Generation was considered the “next core of Martial Soul Hall's rule,” and Hu Liena would even become the direct disciple of Bibi Dong, who would then be the Supreme Pontiff, making her the first in line to inherit the position of the next Supreme Pontiff.

Xie Yue and Yan were candidates for future Elders of the Martial Soul Hall.

However, although the Martial Soul Hall had not yet proposed the idea of a Golden Generation, it already had the Martial Soul Hall Academy.

The Martial Soul Hall Academy was the top Spirit Master academy on the Douluo Continent, divided into the Outer Courtyard (basic teaching) and the Inner Courtyard (elite cultivation).

The core of the Inner Courtyard included closed-door special training—

Inner Courtyard students needed to pass the cruel “Elite Training Ground” assessment, with an extremely high elimination rate, reaching over 90%, while survivors could receive inclined resource support from the Martial Soul Hall.

Some strategic missions also required the involvement of Inner Courtyard students.

The Inner Courtyard cultivation mechanism of the Martial Soul Hall Academy, to be precise, was first proposed by Qian Xunji, who gradually established the Elite Training Ground and the Inner Courtyard system, specifically for cultivating core combat power loyal to the Martial Soul Hall.

And during Bibi Dong's reign, the Inner Courtyard system was further perfected. The so-called “Golden Generation cultivation plan” was personally formulated by Bibi Dong, who raised the graduation standard for Inner Courtyard students to a five-ring Spirit King and established exclusive Spirit Bone repositories and cultivation secret realms, such as the Valley of Death.

The news of Mo Yuhan's innate full Soul Power had long been known to a select few high-ranking officials of the Martial Soul Hall, including Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji.

Mo Yuhan also had no reason to stop Bibi Dong from telling Qian Xunji.

After all, before Qian Xunji's beastly outburst, he had always presented himself as a perfect master.

However, Mo Yuhan didn't do nothing; he secretly kept a close watch on Bibi Dong, resolutely preventing any opportunities for Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji to meet alone.

Under the careful cultivation of the Martial Soul Hall, Mo Yuhan's cultivation had already reached sixteen levels of Soul Power (Dou Qi eight segments).

Such progress in cultivation not only shocked the other Inner Courtyard students of the Martial Soul Hall but also surprised Little Fairy Doctor.

Because Little Fairy Doctor herself had only just broken through to the seventh segment of Dou Qi.

And on the Dou Qi Continent, Mo Yuhan had already gained Little Fairy Doctor's trust, but perhaps due to the fact that neither of them was yet a Dou Zhe, and considering the unknown danger level in the 7th cave, she did not propose having the Blue Eagle take them to investigate the cave.

One day, Mo Yuhan was practicing at the training ground when he saw a disheveled, unkempt, decadent man with an ordinary, even below-average appearance, passing through the training ground led by guards.

“Who is that person? Why does he look like a beggar?”

“Not sure, maybe he's a powerful expert. I heard my grandpa say that some powerful experts like to be unkempt, and you should show reverence when you encounter such people.”

Only Mo Yuhan, looking at that person, paused slightly.

“Could it be Yu Xiaogang?”

Mo Yuhan had never met Yu Xiaogang, but from the person's appearance, it was highly likely to be him.

To be safe, he wiped his sweat, told the Martial Soul Hall Academy Inner Courtyard student he was sparring with, and then jogged towards the Platinum Bishop's reception hall.

“Young Master Mo, why are you running so fast?”

On the way, Mo Yuhan met Platinum Bishop Salas, who at this time had not yet been dispatched to the Heaven Dou Empire Imperial City to be in charge of the Martial Soul Hall branch there.

“I'm looking for my aunt. Bishop Salas, have you seen her?”

Normally, Bibi Dong would receive common people in the White-Robed Bishop's reception hall, unless it was an important figure, in which case she would receive them in the Saintess's Healing Hall or the Council Hall.

“Young Master Mo, I saw Her Royal Highness the Saintess this morning going to the Mimicry Training Ground to temper her Soul Power. Didn't you know?”

Mo Yuhan shook his head. Bibi Dong was a genuine cultivation fanatic, often going to the outer energy-gathering arrays of the Consecration Hall to seek Soul Power resonance.

This was something that should only be done at the Spirit Douluo level.

Mo Yuhan's current level was too low; his focus was still on tempering his Dou Skills and his physique.

He went to the Mimicry Training Ground quite often, but the probability of meeting Bibi Dong there was not high.

“Is there anything you need with Her Royal Highness the Saintess? If there's any important person to receive, I can accompany you first and have someone help contact Her Royal Highness the Saintess.”

Salas saw that Mo Yuhan was heading towards the reception hall and thought that some important figure was about to visit.

“It's someone named Yu Xiaogang, he should be employed at the research institute. I saw him being brought by a Purple-Robed Bishop at the training ground.”

“Yu Xiaogang?”

Salas frowned, “I seem to have heard of him… I remember now, isn't that the good-for-nothing expelled by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Yu Xiaogang who proposed the Ten Core Competencies of Spirits a few days ago?”

“Precisely.”

Mo Yuhan was still relatively nervous; if his aunt was still attracted to this good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang, he would probably want to die.

Unexpectedly, Salas laughed, “Young Master Mo, you must be joking. A useless person like him, even if he proposes some eye-catching Spirit theory to deceive and gain fame, it wouldn't be Her Royal Highness the Saintess's turn to personally receive him.”

“The Yu Xiaogang you mentioned should have been sent to the Purple-Robed Bishop's reception hall for reception.”

Mo Yuhan was stunned.

That's right.

He had been in contact with the high-ranking officials of the Martial Soul Hall for too long, almost forgetting the strict hierarchy here.

Below the Saintess were Elders, Platinum Bishops, Red-Robed Bishops, Purple-Robed Bishops, and White-Robed Deacons.

Yu Xiaogang, as a minor figure of low rank, being received by a Purple-Robed Bishop was probably due to his identity as a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

To meet Bibi Dong directly, unless Bibi Dong personally summoned him.

However, due to Mo Yuhan's intervention and early disclosure, Bibi Dong would not go to the research institute, nor would she be amazed by Yu Xiaogang's theories.

How could she possibly spare a second glance for a good-for-nothing like Yu Xiaogang?

It was indeed worrying too much.

“Thank you, Bishop Salas. Since that's the case, I'll go see for myself; there's no need to disturb my aunt.”

“You're too kind, Young Master Mo.”

Salas was very polite.

He knew that Mo Yuhan's position was unusual, and with his exceptional talent, as soon as the Saintess ascended to power, it was not impossible for him to be immediately appointed as the Holy Son.

It was not excessive for him to curry favor with such a person.
