Chapter 16 High-level meeting, the 8th priest Ling Kuang!

Chapter 16 High-level meeting, the eighth priest Ling Kuang!
Seeing that the chief priest could tell the breakthrough of his soul power at a glance, Ling Kuang felt more and more in awe of Qian Daoliu's unfathomable strength, and said in an increasingly respectful tone: "Just as the chief priest said, I have successfully broken through to level 96."

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly, his expression calm and majestic, and said: "It seems that your trip to the Xingdou Great Forest this time not only successfully hunted a spirit ring for Xiaoye, but also brought you this unexpected gain."

"Talk to me." Qian Daoliu's voice was steady and powerful.

Hearing this, Ling Kuang did not hesitate at all and immediately recounted his experiences during the trip to the Star Dou Great Forest.

He narrated all of Ling Ye's two outstanding spirit rings, the fierce battle with the 80,000-year-old firebird, and the precious spirit bones that exploded without reservation.

However, he did not mention the matter of the ultimate martial spirit. It was not that he did not trust Qian Daoliu, but that it had no direct connection with this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Moreover, Ling Kuang felt that this matter concerned his cherished grandson, and the fewer people who knew the details, the better. This was not a question of trust or not.

As an elder of the Spirit Hall and a loyal and powerful person of Qian Daoliu's lineage, he still has full confidence in Qian Daoliu's character and integrity.

“One is a 1700-year soul ring, the other is a 2800-year soul ring, and both are from soul beasts with powerful bloodlines and destructive attributes. The young are truly formidable!” Qian Daoliu praised without reservation.

Ling Ye smiled when he heard Qian Daoliu's praise. His young face was filled with confidence and vigor. He said, "Thank you for your praise, Grandpa Qian. I will work harder to practice and live up to everyone's expectations of me."

Qian Daoliu smiled and nodded gently, his eyes full of kindness and expectation.

He then looked at Ling Kuang and said earnestly, "Demon Bear, Xiaoye's talent is outstanding, and he carries the legacy of the God of Destruction. You must teach him well in the future and never let him down."

Ling Kuang quickly responded, his expression solemn and determined: "Don't worry, Great Lord, I will do my best, even if it means giving up everything, I will definitely make Xiaoye grow into a pillar of the Spirit Hall."

Qian Daoliu stood up and walked slowly, his posture upright and majestic, and said: "Since you have obtained the 80,000-year soul bone, it can be regarded as your opportunity."

"You are now a level 96 peak Douluo, and you are qualified to become a priest. I ask you, are you willing to become the eighth priest of my Spirit Hall?" Qian Daoliu stared at Ling Kuang with burning eyes, with a hint of expectation in his tone.

Hear this.

Ling Kuang's face instantly showed obvious joy, and he said excitedly: "Of course I am willing! I believe that among the many elders of the Spirit Hall, no one would be unwilling to become a worshiper. I, Ling Kuang, couldn't ask for more!"

The priest holds an extraordinary status in the Spirit Hall. Only those whose soul power breaks through level 96 are qualified to become priests. They have the privilege of not obeying the orders of the Pope and only follow the command of the great priest. They are the most powerful force in the Spirit Hall.

It is no exaggeration to say that the status of the Spirit Hall's worshipers is much higher than that of the elders!

"That's very good. Later, I will gather all the priests, the Pope, and the elders to officially announce that you are the Eighth Priest." Hearing Ling Kuang's accurate answer, Qian Daoliu nodded with satisfaction and a smile on his face.

Ling Kuang's expression lit up with joy, and he immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, great priest!"

Qian Daoliu waved his hands and said calmly: "No need to do this, this is what you deserve. From now on, call me big brother. We worshippers have always called each other brothers, and you will be no exception."

"Brother!" Ling Kuang said excitedly.

Ling Ye on the side said with a smile: "Should I change my name to Grandpa?"

Qian Daoliu laughed loudly, his laughter was hearty and heroic, and said: "Of course you can call me 'Grandpa', Xiaoye can call me whatever you like!"

"Grandpa." Ling Ye's little face was filled with smiles.

Subsequently.

Qian Daoliu said, "Xiao Ye, how about I take you to Tiandou City after a while? Go see Xue'er. I haven't seen her for a long time." Ling Ye was stunned at first, but after reacting, he smiled and nodded, "Okay!"

It is easy to guess the purpose of Qian Daoliu doing this, which is nothing more than to match him with Qian Renxue. However, he is not disgusted. Instead, he has some expectations and is looking forward to meeting Qian Renxue.

Of course, it is undeniable that Qian Daoliu also wants to see his precious granddaughter.

Afterwards, the three of them chatted for a while, and Ling Kuang and Ling Ye took their leave.

After returning to his residence, Ling Ye said excitedly, "Grandpa, now that you have become a worshiper, your status in the Spirit Hall will be even higher!"

Ling Kuang smiled and patted Ling Ye's head, saying: "This is a good thing, but we can't be complacent because of this. We have to work harder to practice."

Ling Ye nodded vigorously, "I know, Grandpa. I will definitely work harder and become a strong man like you as soon as possible."

……

Not long after, the Spirit Hall's top leaders held an important meeting.

The original seven great priests, many respected elders, the powerful Pope Bibi Dong, and all the Titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall were present.

Although the relationship between Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu has always been unfriendly, there are many grudges and conflicts between them.

However, the great priest Qian Daoliu was the one who truly controlled the Spirit Hall, and his unfathomable strength was even above hers. Even someone as strong as Bibi Dong had to give him enough face.

During these days, Bibi Dong has already learned exactly about Ling Ye's innate level 20 soul power and the mysterious Nine Nether Beast martial soul.

After some investigation and analysis, she basically confirmed that Ling Ye was the chosen one who inherited the legacy of the God of Destruction.

At this moment, when Bibi Dong saw Ling Ye's grandfather Ling Kuang, she also wanted to take this opportunity to establish a good relationship with Ling Kuang, so she behaved much more friendly than before.

Originally, because of the different factions they belonged to, Bibi Dong's attitude towards Ling Kuang had always been just barely acceptable, neither cold nor warm.

But now, when they met, Bibi Dong changed her usual coldness, put on a faint smile on her face, and took the initiative to nod to Ling Kuang.

This sudden change made Ling Kuang a little confused for a moment, and he secretly wondered the reason why Bibi Dong changed her attitude so drastically.

The meeting officially begins.

Qian Daoliu glanced at everyone present, and then solemnly announced: "The Demon Bear has broken through to level 96. He has made great contributions over the years and will become the eighth worshiper of the Spirit Hall from now on."

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned at first. They did not expect Ling Kuang to suddenly reach level 96. After they realized what was happening, they all expressed their approval.

Ghost Leopard Douluo, who was a close friend of Ling Kuang, was the first to speak: "The Demon Bear has broken through to level 96 and should become the Eighth Worshiper."

Several priests also nodded and said, "Yes, Elder Ling has worked hard for the Spirit Hall and has now become a peak Douluo. This is what he deserves."

Bibi Dong still had that faint smile on her face and said, "Venerable Ling, you will definitely make greater contributions to the Spirit Hall in the future."
