Chapter 2: Qian Xunji's Direct Disciple, Bibi Dong's Junior Brother
Seeing Pope Qian Xunji urge him on, the Cardinal in Red Robes, holding the crystal ball for awakening innate Soul Power, came before Yun Yuan.
"Child, quickly put your hand on it."
Upon hearing this, Yun Yuan also snapped out of his joy over his Martial Soul awakening.
He had actually awakened the Martial Soul of the Heaven-Supporting Douluo from twenty thousand years later—the Atlas Spear!
Just how powerful was the Heaven-Supporting Douluo of ten thousand years later? He broke through to Titled Douluo at twenty-three, became a Super Douluo at twenty-six, achieved Limit Douluo at thirty-one, and ascended to quasi-god at thirty-five, becoming the strongest expert on the Douluo Continent.
With unparalleled grace, a single Atlas Spear suppressed the entire Soul Master World at that time, earning the admiration of countless Soul Masters.
Possessing the Atlas Spear Martial Soul, coupled with his innate comprehension and talent, Yun Yuan was confident that his future would definitely not be inferior to Yun Ming's.
Thinking this, Yun Yuan placed his palm on the crystal ball for awakening Soul Power, beginning to test his innate Soul Power.
Just as Yun Yuan expected, the crystal ball emitted a dazzling white light, indicating that Yun Yuan was an unparalleled genius with innate full Soul Power.
"Hahaha, Heaven blesses my Spirit Hall!"
Seeing this, Qian Xunji, who was by the awakening platform, burst into laughter. His figure flickered, and he appeared beside Yun Yuan.
"Child, are you willing to take me as your master?"
Qian Xunji looked at Yun Yuan with a benevolent expression, his eyes filled with appreciation for him.
An unparalleled prodigy with innate full Soul Power, whose Martial Soul quality surpassed even the Clear Sky Hammer, was destined to become his, Qian Xunji's, disciple.
With Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong, these two great prodigies, Qian Xunji believed that in a few decades, their Spirit Hall would surely reach an even higher level.
Facing Qian Xunji's offer of discipleship, Yun Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest, immediately responding:
"Your Holiness, I am willing!"
Qian Xunji was currently the Pope of Spirit Hall and also the patriarch of the Angel Clan. His power was immense, second only to his father, Qian Daoliu.
Although Qian Daoliu did not involve himself in the affairs of Spirit Hall and the Angel Clan, ultimately, Qian Daoliu was the true foundation of the current Spirit Hall.
His words were decrees within Spirit Hall, and no one dared to defy them, not even Qian Xunji, who was the Pope.
And between Qian Xunji's disciple and a genius of Spirit Hall, it was obvious which one would receive more resources and guidance.
Only a fool would not choose to become a disciple of Qian Xunji, the Pope of Spirit Hall, at this moment.
"Good, from today onwards, you are my second disciple."
Seeing Yun Yuan agree, the smile on Qian Xunji's face grew wider, his eyes filled with doting affection.
"Dong'er, come here, quickly come and greet your junior brother."
Qian Xunji looked towards Bibi Dong in the distance, calling her over, wanting to introduce the senior and junior disciples to each other.
Hearing her teacher's command, Bibi Dong took light steps and quickly ran to Qian Xunji's side, her eyes constantly sizing up her junior brother before her.
"My name is Bibi Dong, Teacher's eldest disciple. From now on, I'll be your senior sister."
"By the way, what's your name, and where are you from?"
After introducing herself, Bibi Dong asked, wanting to know Yun Yuan's background.
Hearing this, Qian Xunji, who was beside them, also turned his gaze to Yun Yuan.
Come to think of it, he didn't know his disciple's name clearly. It seemed he would have to get to know his new disciple well later.
"Teacher, Senior Sister, my name is Yun Yuan, and I come from the Martial Soul Orphanage."
Yun Yuan looked at Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong in turn, then slowly replied.
Upon hearing Yun Yuan's background, Bibi Dong looked at him with a sense of shared misfortune.
It turned out they were both orphans, but Yun Yuan had it better, growing up in Spirit Hall, while she, Bibi Dong, grew up in a beggar's den.
When Qian Xunji learned of it, his eyes showed distress, and he secretly resolved to treat this junior disciple even better in the future.
The children in the Spirit Hall Orphanage, their parents were heroes who died for Spirit Hall.
As the Pope of Spirit Hall, he, Qian Xunji, should take even better care of their children, not to mention that Yun Yuan was now his disciple.
Thinking of this, Qian Xunji patted Yun Yuan's head and comforted him:
"Child, from now on, Dong'er and I will be your closest teacher and senior sister. If you have anything, just tell us."
Hearing her teacher's comfort, Bibi Dong also chimed in from the side:
"That's right, Junior Brother, if you have anything in the future, just tell me, your Senior Sister. I am already a Soul Master, so I'll protect you from now on."
After a round of pleasantries, Qian Xunji began to discuss serious matters.
"Xiao Yuan, since you have become my disciple, you will follow Teacher to study from now on."
"By the way, does your Martial Soul have a name? Or do you plan to name it yourself? Or should I, your Teacher, help you name it?"
In response to Qian Xunji's question, Yun Yuan enlarged the Atlas Spear Martial Soul, stood it before him, and displayed the two large characters "Qingtian" at the junction of the spear shaft and blade for Qian Xunji to see.
"Qingtian, that's a good name. It truly has the imposing aura of a spear supporting the heavens."
Looking at the two powerful characters on the Atlas Spear, Qian Xunji gave his assessment.
Then, Qian Xunji took Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong to watch the remaining youths awaken their Martial Souls.
But without exception, their Martial Souls were all very ordinary, and their Soul Power was only at a mediocre level.
"Alas, I'm still too greedy. To have unparalleled prodigies like Xiao Yuan and Dong'er appear at the same time is already the limit; I shouldn't ask for more."
After sighing, Qian Xunji led Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong away from the place.
Next, Qian Xunji prepared a luxurious palace for Yun Yuan, located on a mountaintop behind the The Pope's Palace, adjacent to Bibi Dong's palace.
As Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong were senior and junior disciples, Qian Xunji also intended to make their relationship more intimate.
Yun Yuan arrived before the palace Qian Xunji had prepared for him, and he couldn't help but marvel at its luxury, and furthermore, it even had a dedicated cultivation ground.
"Xiao Yuan, this will be your palace from now on. Your senior sister's palace is next door; you can go find her if you need anything."
Qian Xunji instructed Yun Yuan, showing exceptional favoritism towards this newly accepted junior disciple.
"Thank you, Teacher."
Yun Yuan bowed to Qian Xunji in thanks.
"Hmm, in that case, I have urgent matters to attend to, so I'll leave first."
"Starting tomorrow, you will follow your senior sister to find me. I will instruct you on cultivation matters."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Xunji's gaze turned to Bibi Dong, instructing her as well.
"Dong'er, from now on, you must treat your junior brother well. As fellow disciples, you two must support each other and jointly ascend to the peak of Soul Masters. This is what Teacher hopes for."
"Do you understand, Dong'er?"
Qian Xunji was very worried about his eldest disciple. After all, his eldest disciple was very mischievous, and he was concerned that her future interactions with Yun Yuan might sour their relationship.
