Tang Hao stared in shock at the young boy. He hadn't expected his overwhelming pressure to be blocked by someone so young.
Though Qian Yu appeared to be only five or six years old, his inner maturity was striking. Tang Hao sensed that this child was no ordinary person.
Qian Yu remained calm, looking at Tang Hao and saying mildly, "As you can see, I'm just a child who has recently awakened his Martial Soul. Is there anything else, Uncle?"
Tang Hao studied Qian Yu, unaware of his true identity. Even if he knew, he wouldn't harm a child. Yet he understood that this boy was far from ordinary. If Qian Yu reached his full potential, his name would undoubtedly echo across the Douluo Continent.
"Hahaha..." Tang Hao burst into laughter.
Then, he looked at Qian Yu and said, "Nothing else. I just look forward to witnessing your future accomplishments."
Qian Yu didn't elaborate, simply turning and walking away with cool composure.
Returning to Old Jack's house, Qian Yu was surprised that Tang Hao had come looking for him. With his current strength, he was no match for Tang Hao. However, possessing the Void Wings Martial Soul allowed him to instantly teleport through the void.
Tang Hao wanted to kill him, but that was simply impossible.
However, it seemed he needed to grow stronger as soon as possible.
He was a god in his ninth incarnation. He didn't want to be threatened by even a minor Titled Douluo in this small Douluo Continent.
In the following days, Qian Yu spent every day training in the forest.
He possessed ten Martial Souls, and mastering all ten was no easy task.
To become stronger, he needed to proficiently control all ten Martial Souls and switch between them effortlessly.
"Wind!"
Qian Yu shouted.
Instantly, two wind blades shot from his hands, slicing through the massive tree before him.
Although he hadn't yet acquired a Soul Ring, his wind Martial Soul was an elemental type.
This allowed him to condense wind elements into any desired shape without relying on Soul Skills.
Thus, Qian Yu could freely create wind blades, wind arrows, and more.
The same principle applied to other elements.
"Earth Shield!"
Qian Yu commanded next.
A massive earthen shield surged up from the ground, solidifying before him.
Even without a Soul Ring, Qian Yu's current strength meant that even a Soul Ancestor would struggle to match him.
Three months passed quickly.
Qian Yu and Tang San were about to head to Notting Academy.
Tang San bid farewell to his father, and Old Jack set off with Qian Yu and Tang San towards Notting City.
Although they were traveling together, Qian Yu ignored Tang San throughout the journey.
At the end of the day, Qian Yu still didn't like Tang San, so he avoided interacting with him. Even though they were from the same place, Qian Yu had no intention of looking after him.
The distance from Holy Soul Village to Notting City wasn't far. The trio walked for half a day, stopping to eat some dry rations along the way. By afternoon, they could already see the distant city walls.
Although Notting City wasn't a major metropolis, its thick walls, built close to the border of the Heaven Dou Empire, were sturdy and well-fortified. After being inspected like all other travelers, Tang San and Old Jack entered the city.
The Notting Junior Soul Master Academy was located in the western part of the city. After asking several passersby for directions, Old Jack finally led Qian Yu and Tang San to the academy.
From afar, they could see a massive archway. The gateway was twenty meters wide and over ten meters tall, constructed entirely of solid stone.
Below the arch stood two iron gates, their dark surfaces gleaming with the quality of the refined metal from which they were forged.
Through the iron gates, one could see a winding path leading to a secluded courtyard. A wide road stretched into the interior, flanked by towering trees.
At the top of the arched gateway were four large characters: "Notting Academy."
Even from the academy's gates alone, one could discern the immense importance of the Soul Master profession on the Douluo Continent. And this was merely a junior Soul Master academy.
As Old Jack led Qian Yu and Tang San up to the gates, they were immediately stopped by the gatekeeper. "What do you want? Do you think a place like this is for country bumpkins like you?"
Old Jack's attire, which had been considered respectable in Holy Soul Village, now made him look like a complete country bumpkin in Notting City. The gatekeeper's gaze carried a hint of disdain.
Old Jack quickly smiled apologetically. "Young man, we're from Holy Soul Village. These two children are the village's work-study students for this year. Could you tell us what procedures we need to follow?"
The gatekeeper frowned, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "Can a golden phoenix really hatch from a haystack? Does a tiny village like yours even have people with soul power? And two of them? The academy hasn't had work-study students in years. You're not phonies, are you?"
His words had barely faded when—
*Boom!*
A deafening explosion shook the air.
The gatekeeper was instantly sent flying, crashing violently into the iron bars.
Panic surged through the gatekeeper as he realized Qian Yu had somehow appeared right in front of him.
Tang San and Old Jack were equally stunned. Though they had come with Qian Yu, they had no idea of the immense power he possessed.
"You..." The gatekeeper struggled to rise. "You dare hit me?"
Qian Yu pressed his foot down on the man's chest, holding out the Martial Soul Hall certification Su Yuntao had given him.
"Open your dog eyes and look carefully," Qian Yu said in a chilling voice. "If you still can't see clearly, I can help you."
The gatekeeper sensed the lethal intent behind those icy words. This child was not to be trifled with, and the certification was genuine. He immediately nodded.
"This... this is indeed the Martial Soul Hall's certification. You may enter."
Qian Yu nodded and looked down at the gatekeeper. "Have you forgotten something?"
The gatekeeper was deeply shaken, overwhelmed by being subdued by a mere child.
He hastily knelt and bowed his head, stammering, "Honored guests, I have been blind to your greatness. I apologize sincerely—my apologies! I should never have judged you by appearances!"
Only after the gatekeeper finished his apology did Qian Yu nod in satisfaction.
His gaze calm, Qian Yu turned to Old Jack and said, "Thank you for taking care of me these past few days. I'll head in now. The kindness you've shown me will be repaid in the future."
Still dazed by the shock, Old Jack merely nodded in response to Qian Yu's words.
Tang San stared at Qian Yu in utter astonishment. He never imagined the boy possessed such formidable strength.
Even using the Tang Sect's most advanced techniques, Tang San might not be a match for Qian Yu!
In that moment, Tang San felt as if he had finally found a worthy opponent, and a fierce determination ignited within him.
"Grandpa Jack, I'm going in too," Tang San said, looking at Old Jack.
"Good. Make sure you study hard!" Old Jack watched the retreating figures of Qian Yu and Tang San.
He couldn't make sense of this little Qian Yu. He had a strong feeling that this boy was no ordinary child.
