53: Spirit Hall Attack

Seeing this, Dai Mubai could understand Gu Yuena's feelings. After all, anyone whose subordinates had a traitor would be unhappy, especially since Xiao Wu was technically under her command, given that Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast undergoing rebirth.

"No rush, let her grow for another two years after the finals. We'll save her for Oscar to use as a Soul Ring then."

Gu Yuena knew that Oscar, as a support-type Soul Master, always wanted to become stronger.

Gu Yuena could clearly feel Oscar's persistent desire to become stronger during their usual interactions. Moreover, Oscar's combat awareness and way of thinking, for someone in his teens, made Gu Yuena feel that he was indeed a usable talent.

Thinking of this, the coldness in Gu Yuena's eyes dissipated somewhat. After all, even if Xiao Wu was a bit useless and disgusting, she seemed like recyclable waste for now.

So, Gu Yuena suppressed her disgust and anger, intending to let Xiao Wu, this traitor, off the hook for now. At the same time, there was a knock on the door.

Saras smiled and pushed the door open. He looked at Dai Mubai and Gu Yuena, his eyes filled with satisfaction when looking at Gu Yuena, and then he began to apologize first.

"Miss Gu Yuena, hello. I am Saras, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall. Our Spirit Hall judges previously made foolish mistakes due to insufficient theoretical knowledge. I have sent them back to review their theories, and I hope you won't take it to heart."

Gu Yuena instantly guessed his purpose from Saras's actions, so she didn't bother to put on a show with him. She just nodded coolly and perfunctorily.

Seeing this, Saras's expression changed slightly, and he felt dissatisfied internally. He, a Platinum Bishop, personally came to apologize, yet she had such an attitude?

However, Saras still held Gu Yuena in high regard. He inwardly persuaded himself.

Gu Yuena was only about fifteen years old after all, and a peerless genius. It was normal for her to have some temper. So, Saras continued to smile and began to recruit Gu Yuena.

"Then, Gu Yuena, are you interested in joining our Spirit Hall? Our Spirit Hall is the strongest Soul Master organization on the continent, and once you join us, with your peerless talent, you will surely..."

"No need, please leave."

Gu Yuena was too lazy to continue enduring the chatter of a mere Soul Douluo. She directly interrupted Saras with a cold and decisive tone.

"What... you're willing to join, that's great... What did you say?"

Saras thought Gu Yuena had spoken and agreed to join the Spirit Hall. While he was thinking about what reward the Pope would give him, he came back to his senses and seemed to realize that Gu Yuena had just rejected his recruitment.

So, Saras's face slowly sank, and he spoke again with a somewhat threatening tone, admonishing Gu Yuena.

"It's good for young people to have pride, but arrogance is undesirable. Moreover, our Spirit Hall is the strongest Soul Master organization on the continent. I hope Miss Gu Yuena will reconsider before answering me. Ordinary people don't get the chance to be personally recruited by me, a Platinum Bishop."

Dai Mubai and Gu Yuena heard the obvious and subtle threats in Saras's tone, and impatience and killing intent simultaneously appeared in their eyes.

After all, how dare a mere Soul Douluo threaten them? Dai Mubai looked at the somewhat flustered Saras and, with an impatient tone, directly exposed Saras's inner thoughts and asked him to leave.

"Thank you, Bishop Saras, for the recruitment. However, people from our Shrek Academy will not consider joining any organization before graduation. Bishop Saras, please put away your petty thoughts."

Seeing Dai Mubai so impolitely expose his intentions to his face, Saras couldn't help but laugh in anger. He left after leaving a sentence behind.

"Good, good! It seems you Shrek people are truly unyielding. However, it's better for you, a prince of the Star Luo Empire, not to reach too far."

Seeing this, Dai Mubai and Gu Yuena couldn't help but look at each other and burst out laughing. After all, Saras's series of actions were simply too comical.

As a Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, he was so impatient that he put on this farce for them. But then again, Saras was not inherently a very steady person.

Holding a high position, this was his first time actively recruiting a genius, only to be met with such a result. Upon closer inspection, his reaction was perhaps inevitable.

And when everyone was returning, Dai Mubai suggested going to check on Dugu Bo's recovery. So, Gu Yuena also spoke up, planning to go with him.

Originally, Zhu Zhuqing also wanted to go along, but Ning Rongrong pestered her to go shopping, so she had no choice but to give up.

Sunset Forest

As soon as the two arrived at the Sunset Forest, they saw three figures above, seemingly talking about something.

And when the green figure saw Dai Mubai arrive, he directly sent a message intending to let the two of them leave first.

The other two figures also came down directly when they saw someone below. Seeing this, the green figure helplessly had to quickly come before the two.

"Old Poison, I didn't expect you to have guests. Aren't you going to introduce these two little guests to us?"

The dark figure slowly revealed its human form, looked at Dai Mubai and Gu Yuena, and spoke in a cold and hoarse voice.

"These two are..."

Before Dugu Bo could finish speaking, Chrysanthemum Douluo impatiently rushed directly in front of Dai Mubai. His eyes were full of infatuation as he looked at Dai Mubai, and he somewhat stutteringly confirmed something with him.

"Kid, you... have you perhaps consumed the immortal grade Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum?"

Seeing this, Dai Mubai couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly inwardly. As expected, Chrysanthemum Douluo was still as sensitive to immortal grades as in the original story. On the surface, however, he calmly admitted it.

"Mianxia has a keen eye. I did indeed consume the immortal grade Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum."

Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes became hazy after receiving the affirmative answer. Feeling Dai Mubai's Soul King level, he couldn't help but involuntarily express his desire for Dai Mubai to become his disciple.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Ghost Douluo cough, and he also realized the Pope's mission. He could only look at Dai Mubai with some reluctance.

So, Chrysanthemum Douluo looked at Dugu Bo, first affirming his strength, and then began to recruit Dugu Bo.

"I didn't expect, Old Poison, that your strength has advanced so rapidly in just a year. It seems your previous seclusion was not false. Since you can now directly defeat Tang Hao, the conditions we offered you a year ago can be doubled, and you are also allowed to make any request you wish. Our noble Pope will satisfy you."

After Chrysanthemum Douluo's words, Dugu Bo had a sudden idea and began to provoke the Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo.

"If I join the Spirit Hall, wouldn't my status be above yours? At that time, wouldn't you two have to respectfully salute me? Are you really willing to do this?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo was momentarily choked by Dugu Bo's words. To be honest, the thought of his good friend and himself being stepped on by an enemy they had known for half their lives made Chrysanthemum Douluo hesitate.

Ghost Douluo, on the other hand, looked completely unconcerned. His cold voice spoke again, clearly determined to get an answer from Dugu Bo.

"What does it matter? In this World, strength speaks for itself. Moreover, working together for His Holiness the Pope, you and Yue Guan can be considered to have turned hostility into friendship. Dugu Bo, do you mean you are willing to join our Spirit Hall?"

These words also enlightened Chrysanthemum Douluo, and the two looked at Dugu Bo together again.

And Dugu Bo seemed to know that he had to give them an answer today. After much hesitation, just as he was about to speak, Dai Mubai spoke first.

"Two seniors, Poison Douluo Mianxia has already joined our Shrek Academy before this, so I apologize."

These words directly shifted the attention of Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo to Dai Mubai. Feeling the pressure from the two Title Douluo, Dai Mubai immediately completed his Martial Soul Possession, showing no intention of being at a disadvantage against them.

And when Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo looked at Dai Mubai's Martial Soul, they actually felt a sense of suppression. So, Ghost Douluo's gaze, like a cold scythe, slowly spoke with dissatisfaction, questioning.

"Kid, do you mean you are going to snatch people from our Spirit Hall?"

Before Dai Mubai could think of an excuse, Chrysanthemum Douluo impatiently provided one for him.

"That's easy to handle. Why don't your Shrek Academy just join our Spirit Hall? It just so happens that I also have a love for talent in you, so it's hitting two birds with one stone."

Hearing Chrysanthemum Douluo's words, Ghost Douluo also nodded in satisfaction. After all, the strength displayed by Shrek Academy in the preliminaries was also at the level of top geniuses. He was naturally very happy to accomplish so many things at once.

"I've heard that the Spirit Hall Team also has a few people known as the Golden Generation. Our Shrek Academy would like to compete with them first before making a decision, after all, who wants to be subservient to others?"
