Spirit Kite Douluo
**Chapter 30 Spirit Kite Douluo**
"That's right!"
"Whether it's true or not, Senior Ayres, you just need to test it, and you'll see the result for yourself!"
"But Senior Ayres, your Soul Power level is relatively high. My first soul skill might not have much of an effect on you. It would be better to find a Soul Master or a Great Soul Master to test it on!"
Gu Ziyi nodded affirmatively, showing no fear.
"Alright, I'll make the arrangements right now!"
After hearing his words, Ayres responded immediately.
Ayres quickly found a suitable Soul Master and tested Gu Ziyi's first soul skill on the spot.
In addition to that Soul Master, he also had Gu Ziyi use his first soul skill on himself as well.
Even though the effect wasn't great, he still wanted to experience it personally.
The result, as expected, was no surprise. Gu Ziyi's first soul skill did indeed have the effect of increasing cultivation speed.
"Good, good, very good!"
"Gu Ziyi, your skill is excellent. I've decided to report your situation to Spirit City and let the higher-ups decide your future arrangements!"
Ayres said excitedly to Gu Ziyi.
"Okay!"
Gu Ziyi naturally had no objections to this suggestion.
So he stayed temporarily at the Martial Soul Hall branch, waiting for the final decision from the higher-ups.
It was hard to say whether he could be favored by the Pope Qian Xunji.
Though he had plenty of confidence in himself.
...
Spirit City, Supreme Pontiff Palace or Papal Palace.
A blonde man, exuding majesty, sat on the papal throne, holding a report from the Tiandou Imperial City branch in his hands.
"It can really increase cultivation speed?"
"Interesting!"
"This is truly a skill worth nurturing, but his innate Soul Power is only Level 1, what a pity. I wonder if he'll be able to reach Soul Elder in the future!" (N/E: The barrier that exists at Level 30.)
What Qian Xunji was reading was naturally the report from Deacon Ayres.
The unique effect of Gu Ziyi's soul skill certainly caught his eye.
However, Gu Ziyi's low innate Soul Power of Level 1 also left him a bit disappointed.
"But his skill is really useful for Dong'er. Right now, Dong'er is in her golden phase of growth. It would be better to speed up her progress during this period!"
Just as Gu Ziyi had predicted, after Qian Xunji learned about his skill, even though he wasn't happy with the Level 1 innate Soul Power qualification, his first thought was how to best use this skill to benefit his disciple, Bibi Dong.
"Tell Elder Li Chanfei to go to the Martial Soul Hall in Tiandou Imperial City's branch and bring back the boy named Gu Ziyi!"
"Also, have her verify his background."
Qian Xunji quickly made his decision.
...
Gu Ziyi waited at the branch for half a month for someone to come for him.
Finally, a woman arrived, dressed in an Elder's robes.
"Gu Ziyi, come quickly, this is Elder Li Chanfei, an Elder of the Martial Soul Hall!"
(N/E: In the original text, she is called a Platinum Bishop, but based on the hierarchy, she must be an Elder, as there are only four Platinum Bishops under the Supreme Pontiff. And it should be 'Elder' not 'Eldress', since the Douluo Continent is quite patriarchal.)
After Ayres brought Gu Ziyi to greet her, he quickly introduced him to Elder Li Chanfei.
"Hello, Elder Li Chanfei!"
Gu Ziyi greeted her respectfully.
This Elder named Li Chanfei had stylish short hair and a voluptuous figure.
Her Elder robe from the Martial Soul Hall, aside from adding an aura of holiness, also brought out an unexpected touch of allure, despite being a standard outfit.
By appearance, she seemed to be in her twenties.
But Gu Ziyi knew that she was definitely not as young as she looked, perhaps she was even a woman over fifty years old.
Because Elders who sit in the Martial Soul Halls of the two Empires are all powerful people with Soul Douluo level cultivation, meaning they are at least at Level 80 or above.
At this level, age naturally wouldn't show on someone young.
As for the Titled Douluo who are above Level 90, they no longer need to manage mundane affairs in the Martial Soul Hall and are promoted directly to the Elders in the Hall of Elders.
"Okay, I'll be taking him now!"
Elder Li Chanfei nodded and spoke to Ayres.
"Boy, come with me. I'm here to take you to Spirit City!"
Elder Li Chanfei then said directly to Gu Ziyi before turning and walking away slowly.
"I don't know if the Pope has lost his mind, sending an Elder like me to escort a kid back to the city!"
As she walked away, she didn't forget to grumble about the Pope Qian Xunji.
"Gu Ziyi, hurry and follow Elder Li Chanfei!"
When Ayres heard her complaint, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, pretending he didn't hear it, and then quickly urged Gu Ziyi to follow her.
"Yes, goodbye, Grandpa Ayres!"
Gu Ziyi nodded and, after bidding farewell to Ayres, quickly caught up with Li Chanfei.
"Let's go, we won't be using a carriage, it's a waste of time!"
Upon reaching the gate, Li Chanfei stretched out her hand briefly, her Soul Ring blossomed, and then a 'Fire Kite' made entirely of flames appeared in front of them.
Before Gu Ziyi could steady himself, Elder Li Chanfei grabbed him by the collar, lifting him up, and then leapt onto the back of the 'Fire Kite'.
Caw~
Before Gu Ziyi could stabilize himself, the 'Fire Kite' beneath them flapped its wings and soared into the sky, flying swiftly out of the Imperial City.
The future Lingyuan (Spirit Kite) Douluo?
Once he regained his balance and managed to stand, looking at the 'Fire Kite' beneath him, Gu Ziyi secretly guessed the identity of this Elder in his heart.
There is a female Douluo named Lingyuan among the Elders of the Martial Soul Hall, and her Martial Soul is a 'Fire Kite'.
Thus, Gu Ziyi suspected that this Elder named Li Chanfei was the future Lingyuan Douluo.
Given that she had the audacity to complain about Qian Xunji earlier, it was probably due to her arrogance stemming from her great talent.
However, even though she might become a Titled Douluo in the future, that was still something for later. Right now, she was just a normal Douluo.
Standing on the back of the Fire Kite, Li Chanfei gazed forward and clearly didn't want to talk to him. She probably wasn't interested in conversing with a weak Soul Master like him.
Gu Ziyi was also calm and said nothing. He simply enjoyed the ride, admiring the scenery from the sky.
This experience of standing and flying in the air was his first, and it was truly different.
From above, all kinds of scenery appeared exceptionally beautiful.
"Boy, when you were at the Tianbao Academy, you seemed to have a very good relationship with two classmates, right? These two classmates are named Tang Yuehua and Bai Lu!"
While Gu Ziyi was admiring the scenery, Elder Li Chanfei finally spoke to him for the first time, asking about his time at Tianbao Academy where he studied.
Before coming to fetch him, she had gone to Tianbao Academy to learn more about his situation.
As for Gu Ziyi's previous time at Liusha Academy in the Principality, she already knew and had investigated it.
Gu Ziyi, who was at Liusha Academy, had no issues. He had a clean background and was a commoner.
What surprised her was that the two classmates he met at Tianbao Academy were actually members of the Haotian Sect.
It was also during her investigation of Gu Ziyi that she discovered these two members of the Haotian Sect had come to a small academy like Tianbao.
"Yes, Elder Li Chanfei!"
Gu Ziyi's heart tightened slightly when he heard the question. He hadn't expected her to investigate him.
But when he remembered that he hadn't joined the Haotian Sect, he relaxed quite a bit.
"So you know their identities?"
...

--
N/E: I think that Spirit Kite or Lingyuan Douluo is not called Li Chanfei, but she doesn't have a name in the work (as far as I've researched).
N/E2: Guys, I'm making some changes to this text. First, I changed the 'Elder Lingyuan' that I originally wrote to 'Li Chanfei'.
Your Martial Soul will be called Lingyuan most of the time, but it can also be called Kite Flame. I hope I don't confuse anyone.
