Tuoba Yan stared at Tuoba Xi with eyes as sharp as torches, his face full of displeasure, his expression almost as if his displeasure was carved on his face.
Tuoba Xi, however, turned a blind eye to this. For the Tuoba family's grand ambitions, he had already burned his boats and said in a deep voice, "I've made inquiries from various sources. His Holiness the Pope has recently expressed interest in accepting a disciple. According to His Holiness Chrysanthemum, the candidate will be chosen from the top candidates in a year's time. Hu Liena is very likely to stand out."
The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, held every five years, is considered the pinnacle event in the soul master world.
At this time, Bibi Dong would carefully select gifted students from the Junior Soul Master Academy in advance and focus on their cultivation, just to win supreme glory for the Spirit Hall in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition.
Every year when the junior soul master academy graduates, the four districts of southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest will hold a soul fighting party, and the elites of each school will take the stage to compete with each other.
The winner will not only receive generous rewards, but will also be included in the key training list of the Spirit Hall and become a high-level member of the Spirit Hall, especially within the sight of Pope Bibi Dong.
Being noticed by the top leaders of Spirit Hall means that one has a promising future and many benefits.
"Hu Liena is in sixth grade this year and will participate in the Four Colleges Fighting Spirit Gala in a year. She has an innate spirit power of level nine and is exceptionally talented. His Majesty Chrysanthemum said that among all the candidates, the Pope is particularly interested in Hu Liena."
Tuoba Xi's eyes sparkled with excitement. "It seems now that Hu Liena can be considered the Pope's chosen disciple."
"Yan'er, our chance has come!"
"The Pope's disciples will surely become saints or saintesses in the future."
"If you can win Hu Liena's heart, it will be a matter of vital importance to our family, enough to propel it to a higher level of prosperity!"
"Yan'er, do you understand?"
Feeling Tuoba Yan's sharp gaze, Tuoba Xi deliberately turned away, facing his grandson, fearing that he would be soft-hearted and compromise again on the matter of Hu Liena. "If you still don't understand, I can explain it to you in detail."
Tuoba Yan scoffed and said coldly, "I understand, how could I not understand? After all this talk, in the final analysis, you just want to cling to Bibi Dong and cling to her thighs!"
Although these words were filled with a strong sense of hostility, Tuoba Xi did not get angry. Still with his back to Tuoba Yan, he advised earnestly, "Yan'er, you are my grandson. You enjoy wealth and glory that ordinary people cannot achieve, so naturally you must shoulder the corresponding family responsibilities. This is your unshirkable mission."
"I've already said it, no one can influence my thinking!"
"Yan'er..."
Tuoba Xi turned around, his tall figure looking down at Tuoba Yan, and continued to persuade him: "Grandpa knows that you don't want to be wronged. As long as you marry Hu Liena, Grandpa promises you that you can take a concubine."
"This isn't a question of whether to take a concubine or not!"
"You're so resistant, are you disgusted by Hu Liena's ugliness?"
"She looks... just like that."
"Since you say 'that's just so-so', then it's acceptable."
A smile appeared on Tuoba Xi's face, as if he saw the dawn of hope. He stretched out his broad palm and gently placed it on Tuoba Yan's shoulder.
"Grandpa has already found out everything. Hu Liena has practiced the art of seduction since she was young. She must be a charming and considerate woman. Marrying her will definitely not put you at a disadvantage. More importantly, we can also take this opportunity to learn the Spirit Hall's extremely powerful original spirit skills."
Hearing this, Tuoba Yan was secretly shocked and said sarcastically, "So you arranged the couple here just to learn their self-created spirit skills?"
"Yan'er, you haven't realized how important creating your own soul skills is to the success or failure of your family."
"In order to create your own spirit skill, you are actually willing to use your own grandson as a bargaining chip?"
"Yan'er..."
Tuoba Xi's eyes suddenly became as sharp as an eagle. As the Platinum Bishop of the Soul Hunting Brigade, he was a veteran of the battlefield and unconsciously exuded a fierce and murderous aura.
This sudden look of seriousness startled Tuoba Yan, who was stunned for a moment. He had never seen his grandfather look so majestic.
Tuoba Xi said in a serious tone, "You are my grandfather's most beloved child. How could I harm you? As the young patriarch of the Tuoba family, you enjoy abundant resources and should contribute to the family."
Tuoba Yan put his hands in his pockets, his expression calm, and said slowly: "If you are just trying to please Bibi Dong in order to create your own spirit skills, there is no need. You can just come and curry favor with me and hug my thighs!"
Tuoba Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, his face full of suspicion, "Besides the Dragon Step I taught you, how can you create any soul skills of your own!"
Tuoba Yan's lips curled up in a confident arc, his eyes gleaming with pride. "Don't look down on me. What a coincidence! I've been studying very hard recently and have finally developed a new soul skill. Do you dare to challenge me in a sparring match?"
"Okay! Then give it a try and let Grandpa see how much you've improved."
Hearing this, Tuoba Yan turned and walked ten meters away from Tuoba Xi, then stopped and turned back to face his grandfather. He said solemnly, "Release your martial spirit and spirit skills to avoid hurting you."
Tuoba Xi laughed confidently, his tone full of arrogance, "What a joke! I'm a Platinum Bishop, and I don't need to activate my martial spirit or spirit skills to play with my grandson. Will I die from a fight with my grandson?!"
"Are you sure?"
Tuoba Yan slowly raised his right hand, and an invisible wind force quickly gathered in his palm. In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a high-speed rotating Rasengan, and the air flow was turbulent, making a buzzing sound.
The White-Armored Earth Dragon Martial Spirit is known for its defense.
As an eight-ringed Soul Douluo, Tuoba Xi was confident that he could rely on his physical strength to block any soul skills of a one-ringed Soul Master even without using his martial soul.
"Come on! Let grandpa see what this is!"
Tuoba Xi planted his feet firmly on the ground. He spoke with contempt on the surface, but was secretly on guard in his heart.
He had already made up his mind that as long as he took over this seemingly powerful soul skill, he would take the opportunity to belittle it as a strange trick, which was completely different from the soul skills created by the Spirit Hall, and then continue to put pressure on Tuoba Yan to pursue Hu Liena.
"Then I won't be polite!"
"Come on!"
"Take that, Rasengan!"
Tuoba Yan rushed towards Tuoba Xi as fast as lightning.
Tuoba Xi crossed his arms, ready for battle.
The moment the Rasengan touched his arms, there was a loud bang and it exploded!
"boom!"
Tuoba Xi flew backwards at high speed like a gyroscope, and hit the wall of the courtyard heavily, with his whole body deeply sunken into the wall.
Tuoba Yan was startled and hurriedly called out with concern: "Grandpa, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay!" Tuoba Xi struggled to get out of the wall, but his right hand involuntarily gave his grandson a thumbs up, his eyes full of praise, "Great, good job!"
