Chapter 91 The Deeply Scheming Salas
After watching the selection process for the Heaven Dou Academy, Salas rushed back to the Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City. Without even having time to drink a sip of water, he ordered someone to contact His Holiness the Pope of Spirit City.
Salas's trip to Tiandou Academy to watch the match was not intentional, but rather because of Yan Xiao. Since Yan Xiao faded out of the Soul Master world three years ago, his disciple Xiao Yan has also disappeared from everyone's sight.
All I knew was that the other person had enrolled in the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, but I hadn't seen them for three years.
Currently, all of Xiao Yan's information has been listed as high-level matters by the Spirit Hall.
Therefore, when Salas heard that Xiao Yan was participating in the selection competition, he came uninvited.
After repeatedly checking the comparison of Xiao Yan's cultivation level over three years on the paper, Salas frowned: "With Xiao Yan's cultivation level, he is not even as good as that Blue Silver Grass Soul Master named Tang San. In three years, he only cultivated from level 25 to level 35. This is not particularly outstanding among the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall. Apart from his age."
Salas tapped his fingertips on the paper. No matter how much he studied it, Xiao Yan's level was not high enough to warrant the Spirit Hall's attention. Therefore, he did not understand why Bibi Dong would list Xiao Yan's information as a high-level case.
"In the battle against the Netherworld Cat Soul Master, he relied on his third soul skill attached to himself to withstand the opponent's three soul skills, hmm..." Salas read through Xiao Yan's battle records from this competition again, including the one against Shrek Academy.
"It is indeed a bit strange. This young man clearly has a separated martial soul, yet he releases his soul skill onto himself, rather than his martial soul. And it seems the effect is quite good. But that alone is not enough to make His Holiness the Pope take it seriously."
After thinking for a moment, he pulled the bell in his office.
A member dressed in the Spirit Hall's casual attire pushed open the door and entered.
"Your Holiness the Pope," the other person greeted politely, kneeling on one knee.
"Go and recall the Soul Master who delivered the message. This information is not enough to alarm Bibi Dong... the Pope." Salas thought for a moment and still used the honorific title, even though he didn't understand why this woman had become the new Pope of the Spirit Hall.
But what could he do? He even felt that Xiao Yan's attention was just that crazy woman playing tricks, since the only point of contact between the two was that useless Yu Xiaogang.
Since that's the case, I need to change some of the contents of the letter, at least to prevent Bibi Dong from focusing so much on this Soul Master.
"Yes." The person who entered responded and immediately activated their soul power, rushing out.
"A separated martial spirit, and an ultimate fire. Why can't it be my disciple?" Salas paced back and forth in his office.
So this was his true thought. Among the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong had Hu Liena as her successor, but he, the Platinum Bishop, didn't have a single decent disciple, let alone any geniuses.
While Tang San, who was by Xiao Yan's side, certainly had decent talent, Blue Silver Grass was still a martial soul with little practical use, no matter how much it was touted.
"But Xiao Yan already has a master. A Soul Master can only have one master in their lifetime. What can we do..."
"Got it."
Salas thought for a moment, then rang another bell. A masked Soul Master knocked on the door and entered his dimly lit room.
"You, go to Notting Academy in Notting City, find that guy named Yan Xiao, and kill him."
Salas casually revealed his dark thoughts.
"By the way, remember, try to make it an accident. That Yan Xiao probably doesn't have much soul power, but you, as a Soul Emperor, should be more than capable."
"Understood." The assassin who came in didn't say anything more and remained half-squatting in front of Salas. After confirming that the other party had no further instructions, he left.
"Xiao Yan, if you had no master, wouldn't my status, position and strength be more than enough to be your master?"
……
In the following days, Xiao Yan had some peace and quiet. Apart from his ingrained cultivation, he had nothing else to do. The academy also selected them, along with Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and others, to temporarily form the Royal Battle Class, which was taught by Qin Ming.
Currently, the members are only himself and Yu Tianheng, a total of six people.
According to Meng Shenji from the Education Commission, including the main team and substitutes, this class should consist of twelve people.
However, Xiao Yan didn't care at all. The groups of people in the Heaven Dou Academy were extremely friendly, and some parents even wanted to use gold soul coins to buy a spot on the substitute team for their children.
But who is Xiao Yan? Ever since that high-stakes gamble, he has basically never had to worry about the cost of gold soul coins.
After a week of rest, Yu Tianheng, who had been in a coma, finally woke up under Dugu Yan's worried gaze. Upon seeing her lover awaken, Dugu Yan immediately embraced him.
"Tianheng, I thought you'd never wake up again. I asked Grandpa to avenge you, but he said that Xiao Yan had already held back, and that you were fine, and that this whole thing was actually a good thing for you. Tell me, aren't you furious!"
Looking at the girl who was crying a little in his arms, Yu Tianheng smiled and patted her head.
"Yanyan, I'm alright now."
Dugu Yan observed the other person's mental state. It seemed that they had indeed recovered quite well, and their tone was not laced with anger, but rather somewhat indifferent.
"My uncle is right. I should have been careful of Xiao Yan. I didn't expect to be so careless. If you had made the first move in that battle, you wouldn't have been countered by Tang San with his Blue Silver Grass, which affected your performance." Yu Xiaogang was right, but he actually hoped that his nephew could defeat Xiao Yan and avenge him.
"I charged out first, and without knowing my location, you couldn't easily unleash your soul skill. This time, I truly accept my defeat. Did Xiao Yan say anything after the match?"
Dugu Yan watched as the other person began to analyze on their own, and smiled gently: "Ever since you met your uncle, you've been in a very strange state. Now you're finally back."
"Xiao Yan?" Dugu Yan thought for a moment and replied, "He said he's not familiar with most of the students in the academy, so he doesn't have much of an opinion on who to choose. He'll just leave one or two spots for him at most. We'll decide on the rest of the Royal Fighting Team members after you wake up."
"Heh. That's exactly what he's capable of doing." Yu Tianheng recalled that during the duel with Shrek Academy and the finals, Xiao Yan was actually reluctant to take action, but when others provoked him, his reaction was more intense than anyone else's.
"By the way, Tianheng, he also said that you should be the captain of the Royal Fighting Team, and he wants to join the reserve team."
