One day later.
Qian Daoliu arranged for a powerhouse to take Xia Tian soul hunting.
It was a handsome blond man wearing pure white battle armor bearing the Angel God faith's emblem.
"I'm Qian Feng, my spirit is Wind Angel, Level 86 agility-type Soul Douluo. Captain of the Angel Legion's Third Squad."
Qian Feng spoke methodically.
Xia Tian quickly saluted politely in response. "Greetings, Senior! I'm Xia Tian, my spirit is Autumn Cicada, Level 10 quasi-Spirit Master. Student of Spirit Hall Academy's outer campus."
Qian Feng nodded. "I've learned about your situation. The Grand Worshipper values you highly, so I'll find the most suitable spirit beast for you."
"Thank you, Senior."
"I've already prepared the supplies. Without further delay, let's depart."
After speaking, Qian Feng directly released his spirit possession.
Qian Feng's Wind Angel spirit was a variant angel spirit. Its attribute was no longer light and holiness but wind.
A pair of white wings with green patterns spread behind Qian Feng, while a gentle breeze circled around him, blowing his hair and making him exceptionally dashing.
Immediately, Qian Feng grabbed Xia Tian and shot into the sky.
Whoosh—Qian Feng flew with Xia Tian from Pope Mountain, leaving Spirit City within moments and heading straight for the Star Dou Great Forest.
Xia Tian: "Ahhhh—!"
Star Dou Great Forest.
"Thrilling... ugh—"
Xia Tian leaned against a tree, dry heaving on the ground.
Physical discomfort required relief through dry heaving.
In less than half a day, Qian Feng had flown with Xia Tian to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Although Qian Feng protected him with spirit power, the visual changes caused by high-speed movement still made Xia Tian instinctively uncomfortable.
Normally, from Spirit City to Star Dou Great Forest, even a Spirit Emperor would need at least two days of full-speed travel.
However, regarding Xia Tian's performance, Qian Feng said approvingly, "Your endurance is good. Even ordinary Spirit Elders would feel dizzy after experiencing my burst of speed, but you're only dry heaving."
"If you can break through to Spirit Sage, you might qualify to join our Angel Legion."
Xia Tian couldn't help but praise, "Senior is so fast. You must be the most formidable agility-type battle Spirit Master in Spirit Hall, right?"
The corners of Qian Feng's calm mouth lifted slightly for an instant, but then returned to normal. Xia Tian almost thought he'd seen wrong.
"Just average, still can't compare to Titled Douluo powerhouses," Qian Feng explained calmly.
Xia Tian confirmed he hadn't seen wrong.
This Qian Feng wasn't as rigid as he seemed.
Can't compare to Titled Douluo—the implication was that except for Titled Douluo, he was the fastest, right?
Finally, Xia Tian recovered from his discomfort. He tentatively asked what he truly cared about. "Senior, what is the Angel Legion? I've never heard of it before."
"It's normal you haven't heard of the Angel Legion. The Angel Legion is Spirit Hall's secret force, known only to a few people," Qian Feng explained without hiding anything from Xia Tian.
In Qian Feng's view, since Qian Daoliu valued Xia Tian, it meant he also intended for Xia Tian to join the Angel Legion.
Qian Feng began introducing it. "The Angel Legion was originally a military force formed by the Angel Family's branch lines, directly under the Worship Hall, commanded by successive Grand Worshippers. It was once Spirit Hall's main combat strength."
"As Spirit Hall developed, the Angel Legion gradually moved behind the scenes, specifically responsible for maintaining the Angel God faith. It also began recruiting other talented Spirit Masters with firm beliefs."
"But those who successfully join the Angel Legion are, without exception, geniuses among geniuses!"
"Once you join the Angel Legion, you'll enjoy Spirit Hall's top-tier cultivation conditions and most precious cultivation resources."
"Moreover, every squad captain of the Angel Legion has the potential to achieve Titled Douluo!"
By the end, Qian Feng's tone carried some pride, because he was one of those squad captains.
With his age and talent, as long as he cultivated normally, achieving Titled Douluo in the future was unquestionable.
He only needed to spend time cultivating.
"Senior is amazing!" Xia Tian exclaimed, then smiled embarrassedly. "I don't dare dream of joining the Angel Legion. As long as I can become a Spirit Elder, I can give everyone at the orphanage a good life."
Qian Feng fell silent. He looked at Xia Tian, his gaze softening somewhat.
"Indeed, as the Grand Worshipper said, Xia Tian is a kind, good child."
Qian Feng couldn't help but crouch down and pat Xia Tian's head, promising, "Don't worry. Not just the people at Spirit Hall's orphanage—everyone in Spirit City will definitely live a good life in the future."
"Spirit City will once again bask in the Angel God's glory!"
Xia Tian feigned confusion. "Once again?"
Qian Feng didn't explain but stood up and said, "Since you've rested enough, we should start soul hunting."
"Okay, I'll leave everything to you, Senior." Xia Tian replied obediently, showing complete trust.
Qian Feng liked this feeling of being revered.
Qian Feng directly led Xia Tian to explore the Star Dou Great Forest's outer areas.
The Star Dou Great Forest was naturally full of dangers.
But with a Soul Douluo leading, within the outer range, Xia Tian only needed to consider suitable spirit beasts. He didn't need to worry about anything else.
He didn't even need to think about where suitable spirit beasts were.
Because Qian Feng came prepared.
Suitable spirit rings for Xia Tian were undoubtedly those produced by space or time attribute spirit beasts.
Both types were extremely rare spirit beasts.
Time attribute spirit beasts were even rarer than space attribute ones.
So Qian Feng's main target was space attribute spirit beasts.
If an ordinary Spirit Master searched, they might not encounter even one in their lifetime.
This highlighted the advantages of Spirit Masters from major powers.
Spirit Hall's accumulation over many years included not only intelligence on various rare spirit beasts but also unique research results on some spirit beasts.
When Qian Feng brought Xia Tian to encounter a nest of Soft Bone Rabbits, Qian Feng suddenly spoke. "Actually, Soft Bone Rabbits are also a type of spirit beast with space attributes."
"However, generally only ten-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbits can awaken the innate soul skill of teleportation, possessing space attributes then."
"Spirit rings produced by Soft Bone Rabbits below ten thousand years will only be physical enhancement soul skills."
Qian Feng was popularizing spirit beast knowledge for Xia Tian.
When Xia Tian needed a ten-thousand-year spirit ring in the future, he could consider ten-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbits.
However, like other space attribute spirit beasts that were scarce in number, ten-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbits were equally rare.
For such weak spirit beasts as Soft Bone Rabbits to grow to thousand-year level was one in ten thousand.
But if searched carefully, finding a ten-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit was still possible.
Xia Tian nodded, looking like he'd learned something.
Just as no one would expect there could be a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor, they similarly wouldn't expect a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Charming Rabbit.
Actually, what Xia Tian was curious about was whether bloodline extraction technology could be applied to spirit beasts.
For example, fusing the space talent bloodlines of several hundred Soft Bone Rabbits to let low-year Soft Bone Rabbits awaken space attributes early.
He could try it when the opportunity arose.
At dusk, Qian Feng brought Xia Tian to a valley.
"Today we'll rest here and also wait for a suitable spirit beast to appear."
"Within this valley exists a special butterfly spirit beast with space traversal abilities. There might be an individual suitable as your spirit ring."
