Chapter 83: The Hidden Soul (3k)

Amidst the brilliant red light, Arou’s form finally dissipated, and a crimson soul ring gradually condensed on Bibi Dong’s body.

As a special seventh soul ring position, it only brought one soul skill: Martial Soul True Body.

Due to it being a 100,000-year soul ring, Bibi Dong’s Martial Soul True Body strength would be elevated to another level.

In the complete sacrifice, where Arou had been, only a soul bone emitting a soft glow remained—the right leg bone of the Soft-Boned Rabbit.

It brought two soul skills: Instantaneous Movement and Moonlight Sky-Shattering Kill.

One for displacement, one for powerful offense.

It can only be said that only Instantaneous Movement was still usable. The powerful offensive soul skill produced by the Soft-Boned魅兔 (魅兔 – charming rabbit) would inevitably not be comparable to her other soul skills in power.

After Bibi Dong’s ascension to godhood, the Instantaneous Movement skill became even less useful, and naturally, it was used less frequently.

This is why Bibi Dong hardly used Arou’s two soul bone skills in the later stages.

However, even so, this was a 100,000-year soul bone; its enhancement to physical strength was incomparable to a 10,000-year soul bone.

Bibi Dong snatched the soul bone from the air and sent a voice transmission to Qingluan and the others:

“Retreat immediately!”

“Aaaaaah, humans!”

The Azure Bull Python glared at Qingluan, its massive body rushing towards Xiao Wu, blocking Qingluan’s attack on Xiao Wu.

Looking back again, where was the shadow of those people?

Sadness and anger filled the chests of the two soul beasts. They fled towards the Lake of Life with Xiao Wu.

Along the way, they finally met the Titan Great Ape, who was also rushing towards them.

Er Ming pounded his chest:

“Roar! Where’s Aunt Rou?!”

Da Ming closed his eyes, his enormous snake tail sending Er Ming flying.

The force was so great that Er Ming felt like he was going to meet his great-grandmother (a euphemism for dying).

“Roar! Big Brother, what are you doing?!”

“You idiot! Aunt Rou sacrificed herself!”

“What?! Those damned humans, I’m going to kill them all for Aunt Rou!”

“Don’t go!”

Xiao Wu screamed, her originally petite body now standing at 3 meters tall.

Xiao Wu lowered her head:

“We can’t catch up now. Even if we did, we would pay a price for revenge. I will definitely avenge Mother’s blood feud. Now, come back with me!”

“Sister Xiao Wu…”

Er Ming’s large, yellow crystal eyes drooped, his large mouth opening and closing, unable to speak.

“Roar, it’s all my fault! I came too late!”

Er Ming beat his chest and feet, rapidly moving through the forest, destroying the bushes and trees along the way, raising a cloud of dust.

Da Ming looked angrily at the frenzied Er Ming, his bell-like eyes narrowed slightly as he looked towards the direction where the humans had left.

He placed Xiao Wu on his back and rushed towards the Lake of Life.

…………

The group quickly left the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, heading towards the Spirit Hall.

Although they didn’t want to admit it, facing the Azure Bull Python, the Titan Great Ape, and a certain rabbit, with only Qingluan and Bibi Dong, two Super Douluo, they might not be able to win.

Even if they could win, they would probably have to pay with their lives. In a battle between evenly matched opponents, Lin Feng and Qian Renxue’s safety could not be fully guaranteed.

Without a moment’s hesitation, they left the Star Dou Great Forest and headed towards Spirit City.

Along the way, Qian Renxue remained silent.

She occasionally looked at Bibi Dong, who held the soul bone with a serious expression, not knowing what she was thinking.

“What’s wrong?”

Lin Feng asked softly.

Qian Renxue shook her head, her lips slightly pursed:

“Nothing, just thinking about some things.”

How could Lin Feng miss the change in Qian Renxue’s gaze? He sighed inwardly.

Perhaps Arou and Xiao Wu’s actions had touched her heart.

On one hand was a mother and daughter who were united, willing to sacrifice their lives to protect each other; on the other hand was years of harshness and resentment.

Their relationship had been completely antagonistic, only recently softening slightly.

Perhaps it was longing, envy, or even resentment towards Bibi Dong—all of it, perhaps.

Lin Feng gently rubbed Qian Renxue’s soft hand and said softly:

“Don’t think too much, you still have me.”

“Mm.”

Qian Renxue leaned against Lin Feng’s shoulder and closed her eyes to rest for a while.

Only after leaving the Star Dou Great Forest did Bibi Dong begin to absorb the 100,000-year soul bone from Arou.

In the soft pink glow, the right leg bone of the Soft-Boned魅兔 (魅兔 – charming rabbit) attached itself to Bibi Dong’s fair thigh.

As the soul bone disappeared, a red light flashed from Bibi Dong’s body, entering her right leg.

Bibi Dong frowned secretly. This 100,000-year soul beast named Arou had actually left behind a trace of its soul during the sacrifice.

Taking advantage of her inattention while she absorbed the soul bone, it hid within the bone, allowing its soul, which was about to dissipate, to find a foothold.

“Hmph.”

Bibi Dong snorted coldly in her heart. Although she couldn’t do anything to her now, as long as she became a god, or even reached the peak of a Super Douluo, she could separate her.

Let that sleeping remnant soul quietly await death!

As she stood up, her aura, no longer hidden, surged forth—a Level 98 Super Douluo!

The youngest Title Douluo in Douluo history, the most powerful dual-spirit possessor, and an inheritor of a Level 1 god position!

If it weren’t for the past events, if it weren’t for the Shura God’s plot, Bibi Dong would have been undoubtedly the strongest of her era.

Even now, this remained true. Without the Shura God’s suppression, without a doubt, Bibi Dong would be the strongest besides the three Limit Douluo.

Strength brought confidence.

Bibi Dong restrained her aura, a slight smile on her lips.

In just one month, she had risen from Level 90 to Level 98.

This was the terror of a dual-spirit.

“Except for Qian Daoliu, no one can suppress me anymore.”

Bibi Dong clenched her fist, feeling relieved. Many plans and ideas could now be implemented.

And the most important part of it all was…

“Congratulations, Your Holiness, on obtaining a 100,000-year soul ring. So, what are your plans next? My time is limited; I must return to the Palace of the Offerings to report soon.”

Bibi Dong glanced indifferently at Qingluan. Now that she was a Level 98 Super Douluo, Qingluan dared to be so arrogant?

Hmph, she would unify the Douluo Palace and the Spirit Hall sooner or later!

“Return to Spirit City. I don’t intend to add any more soul rings for now.”

Feeling the immense benefits of the 100,000-year soul ring, Bibi Dong’s greed was aroused. The Azure Bull Python and Xiao Wu she had encountered earlier…

were now considered spoils of war and trophies in her grasp.

100,000-year soul beasts only existed in legends. To think that she had stumbled upon their nest today, discovering three 100,000-year soul beasts at once.

As long as she used that flower garden as a starting point, continuing to investigate, she was certain to find their tracks.

“I will come again to take their lives, those two escaped fish.”

“Very well. It’s time for Qingluan to take her leave.”

“Your Holiness, have you decided on your title?”

Lin Feng asked. He had always been curious about Bibi Dong’s title. The original work didn’t explicitly state it; she was only referred to as the Pope or Your Holiness.

Bibi Dong was startled, looking at Lin Feng, and suddenly smiled:

“Titles are not that important to me. The Spirit Hall doesn’t lack a Title Douluo, but it can’t lack a Pope. I don’t need a title. The name ‘Pope’ is more noble and revered than any title.”

Yes, the Pope was inherently a Title Douluo, so why did she need a title? From Bibi Dong’s perspective, letting the world remember her title…

was inferior to leaving a deeper impression with the name of Pope.

Lin Feng was slightly stunned. Bibi Dong’s words did not hide her ambition in the slightest.

But why was her tone so calm? Had she truly undergone some kind of transformation? Another variable…

“Speaking of which, Xiaofeng, your fourth soul path has been formed, right? When are you planning to announce the fourth path?”

Lin Feng pondered for a moment:

“It should be on the eve of our departure. I should release the fourth path soon. We should stay a little longer this time, but not too long.”

Bibi Dong smiled:

“When are you going to announce the effects of that whale jelly you mentioned before?”

Lin Feng frowned. The effects of whale jelly appearing in the era of Douluo I would disrupt the balance.

Although whale jelly, due to its nature, was a very rare treasure, the Spirit Hall had stockpiled almost all of it through prior collection.

The whale jelly in the Spirit Hall’s treasury was enough to shape the second soul rings of the current generation of new talent into purple.

Achieving double purple soul rings was difficult. The first soul ring mainly depended on one’s own aptitude.

“Let’s wait a few more days. This involves a lot of things. I personally think it’s best to delay it for now. Of course, the Spirit Hall’s talented new generation can use it.”

Bibi Dong nodded; that was exactly what she thought. Hu Liena’s second soul ring was a thousand-year soul ring.

Even though the effect of the whale jelly could not be hidden forever, creating a difference in strength between themselves and other forces was what mattered most.

The whale jelly was not much, but enough.

Bibi Dong had also thought of how to handle the reactions of other forces once they found out about the Spirit Hall’s head start.

Six years was the period. By the time Hu Liena graduated from the junior academy, it would be about right.

Lin Feng and the others returned to the Spirit Hall and, after reporting their findings to Qian Daoliu, went back to their forest cabin.

The next day, the Spirit Hall announced the birth of a new Title Douluo.

Title Douluo Lingyuan—the Spirit Iris.

In an era where the number of Title Douluo in the Empire could be counted on one hand, Lingyuan’s ascension brought enormous pressure.

Although the pressure was already significant. The seven offerings of the Palace of Offerings were all Super Douluo.

What other force on the continent could have such strength? Not to mention the two in the Pope’s Palace, countless Soul Douluo and Soul Saints in the subordinate Spirit Halls.

“You? What are you doing here?”

Qian Renxue’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Bibi Dong.

“I just came to visit and have a meal, is that unwelcome?”

Bibi Dong, dressed in casual clothes, was more pure and sweet.

Standing in front of Qian Renxue, she looked like a pair of sisters.

Qian Renxue’s eyes were complicated. During this past month of hunting soul beasts, even though she was reluctant to believe it…

Bibi Dong had been consistently kind to her. Such is human nature.

Even if Bibi Dong truly concealed darkness within her heart, Qian Renxue no longer felt the same anger as before.

“Finish eating and leave…”

Qian Renxue turned and walked into the wooden house.

Bibi Dong smiled slightly.

Yes, that’s it. Only by integrating herself first can she then work her plans…
