Chapter 54 Wow, you're a max-level pro!
Qian Yuhan walked up the Heavenly Ladder to the Martial Soul Plaza and sat on a bench.
Qian Yuhan learned that she would be going to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy for her second year of study, and that she would be there for four years!
He was actually reluctant to part with his roommates, and even more reluctant to separate from Hu Lin'er. He wanted to talk to Hu Lin'er now; he wanted to visit her at her home. But before the holiday, she had told him directly that she was too busy at home to go on dates, leaving Qian Yuhan feeling empty inside.
"Hey? Fourth brother?! How did you get here?"
At this moment, a familiar voice came. Qian Yuhan looked up and saw Mu Chen staring at her in shock.
"I was strolling around Wuhun City when I saw this Heavenly Ladder and climbed up out of curiosity."
"Don't lie to me. There are guards on that ladder. You have to verify your identity to get up there. Everyone who can get up there is a person with a valid identity."
Mu Chen ruthlessly exposed him and continued to ask:
"Fourth brother, I sensed you were extraordinary back in the academy. Abandoned by your father?! A god-level martial soul can be abandoned?! Top-grade Xuanling Pills are given away so easily, and Heavenly Dragon Anti-toxic Pills are taken so readily. Tell me the truth, what kind of background do you have? Don't worry, your third brother will definitely keep it a secret for you."
Qian Yuhan looked at Mu Chen, knowing she couldn't hide it from him anymore, and honestly confessed the whole truth...
"Holy crap, Fourth Brother!! You...you...you are actually that incredibly mysterious young master?! A max-level expert!"
Although Mu Chen had been prepared, he hadn't expected Qian Yuhan's identity to be so extraordinary!
The son of the Grand Master, after all, is surnamed "Qian".
"Hey, don't tell anyone else. I only told you at the academy, and Lin'er doesn't know either."
"We're both the same, trying to hide our identities to study here. But hehe, I just gave myself away. You're even more of a scoundrel. No, you're even better at hiding it."
"I will be going to Tiandou Royal Academy for exchange studies in my second year."
"Huh? This matter has been decided so early?"
"You knew all along?"
Mu Chen nodded and replied, "Yes, I heard my dad mention it before. He said that a few students from our class will be selected to study at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. But the selection will not start until next semester. You've already reserved a spot."
Upon hearing this, Qian Yuhan shook her head. "The Pope has already said so, how can I refuse? Uncle Shao Hui is, after all, an elder."
Anyway, Qian Yuhan has already come clean with Mu Chen, and Mu Chen, as the son of the Second Elder Golden Crocodile Douluo, must know the Pope, so Qian Yuhan simply told him directly.
"Oh, so you went to see the Pope."
Qian Yuhan nodded. "He found me and asked for my opinion. I didn't have a reason to refuse, so I agreed."
"Hey, fourth brother, are you worried about being in a long-distance relationship with Hu Lin'er? Hehe."
Qian Yuhan remained silent, head bowed, offering no response to Mu Chen. Mu Chen knew from his demeanor that she had guessed correctly.
"Don't worry, there will be a selection competition next semester. Our college will definitely send the best students from our school to participate in the exchange. After all, it is an exchange between two major forces, and the exchange students sent out will be the business cards of each side. These business cards must be impressive to show their respective attitudes."
Mu Chen comforted Qian Yuhan and continued, "Moreover, with Hu Lin'er's abilities, I feel that she should have no problem passing the selection."
"Hmm, are you going?"
"Me? Of course I'm not going. Fang Ya is still at the academy..."
Qian Yuhan smiled slightly and said, "If I told you that Fang Ya would most likely be selected for an exchange program if she participates in the selection competition next semester, would you still go?"
"How could that be? She's only at level nine. If it weren't for her strong theoretical knowledge that the academy recognizes, she would have been expelled long ago."
"Look at you, look at you! You don't trust them at all. Their martial soul has already awakened and evolved. In terms of quality, your Golden Crocodile King can't even compare to theirs."
"How is this possible? I—wait, fourth brother, what...what did you say?! Fang Ya's martial soul has awakened?"
Qian Yuhan nodded. "Yes, on the first day of the holiday, I took her to a place and unexpectedly obtained the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. After she took it, her martial soul evolved into a Twin-Headed Fire Phoenix."
"Holy crap, a crested phoenix sunflower! A two-headed fire phoenix?!"
"Fang Ya's soul power increased by twenty levels after her martial soul awakened, and she's now at level twenty-nine. She's not far from breaking through to Soul Master..."
"I'll go! I'll definitely go. I'll go tell my dad right now."
Upon hearing this, Qian Yuhan quickly grabbed Mu Chen's arm and said, "Hey, don't rush. Don't you want to get revenge for the friendly match? I think we can have another match next semester, and wouldn't it be more fulfilling to pass the selection based on our own strength?"
Mu Chen lowered his head in thought, then nodded in agreement with Qian Yuhan's statement. Qian Yuhan, having heard Mu Chen mention the selection competition next semester, was quite confident in Hu Lin'er's abilities and believed she would easily pass the selection, so his mood instantly improved.
After Qian Yuhan and Mu Chen agreed to fight again next semester, Qian Yuhan said she would talk to her older brothers about it when they returned to the academy. It was so much fun to have the entire six-person outdoor training group go together to exchange ideas!
They both forgot that Tang Xuan's girlfriend was also from the Spirit Hall Academy, though her strength was just average. This fact was simultaneously forgotten by both of them…
"Alright, Fourth Brother, since you've laid your cards on the table, let's go to my place and have a good meal together."
"I will—"
"Hey, let's go, let's go, stop dawdling!"
Before Qian Yuhan could finish speaking, Mu Chen made the decision for her and pulled her away.
We climbed the Heavenly Ladder again, but this time we didn't go through the main gate of the Papal Palace. Instead, we took another path at the end of the ladder.
Qian Yuhan wasn't familiar with this road. Previously, when she returned to Mingyue Community from the Offering Hall, Qian Mo or Tianwei Douluo would teleport her directly. She had never traveled this road before.
"What? You've never taken this road before? That shouldn't be the case."
“My dad used to drive me home.”
Mu Chen: ...Why has my dad never been this good to me?
Walking up the path, you'll see a huge complex of buildings, ancient and sacred.
Qian Yuhan was very familiar with these buildings; they were the Hall of Offerings, the place where the worshippers cultivated and worked.
The worshippers usually live in a luxurious villa area on the other side of the Papal Palace, along with elders, the pope, and other high-ranking officials.
Therefore, it is very convenient for the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall to go to and from get off work.
Following Mu Chen, they arrived at the Golden Crocodile Hall where the Second Elder was cultivating, and pushed open the hall door to go inside.
"Dad! Dad, I brought my classmate."
Mu Chen burst in and started shouting.
"Shut up, brat. Bring your classmate in. I'm in the cultivation room."
Mu Chen led Qian Yuhan forward, then they went through a doorway and turned left to find a closed door.
Mu Chen knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
Mu Chen led Qian Yuhan inside.
As soon as Qian Yuhan entered the room, he saw the Golden Crocodile Douluo meditating cross-legged on a futon in the center of the room.
"You little rascal, you're here! How was school? You even brought a classmate back with you. What's your classmate's name?"
Qian Yuhan said, "Uncle Golden Crocodile, it's been a long time—"
