Chapter Eleven: A Beautiful Master and Three Soul Bones from the Start?

Page 1 of 3

Xu Sheng’s eyes flickered a few times, but his expression remained calm as he said, “Your Holiness, please state your conditions.”

He had assumed that Bibi Dong would refuse outright. If so, he would simply settle for the next best option...

But judging from the way things were going, there might actually be hope?

Bibi Dong suddenly rose from her throne, revealing her tall, graceful figure. Only her sharp eyes seemed intent on seeing through the soul within Xu Sheng’s youthful body. She said coldly, “My condition is that no matter how long you intend to remain away, you must return to participate in the Continental Elite Tournament a few years from now!”

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo below were both stunned, completely unable to fathom Bibi Dong’s intentions.

Chrysanthemum Douluo glanced thoughtfully at Ghost Douluo. “The Elite Tournament? Isn’t that still a long way off?”

Ghost Douluo merely shook his head, signaling that he did not know either.

If this was only for the sake of winning the upcoming Elite Tournament, there was no need at all. The geniuses nurtured by the Spirit Hall were fully capable of claiming victory themselves.

Xu Sheng quietly let out a sigh of relief. The corners of his lips lifted slightly as he respectfully clasped his fists. “Your disciple Xu Sheng pays his respects to his teacher!”

Seeing that she could not glean any useful information from Xu Sheng’s face, Bibi Dong returned to her throne.

Then, with a solemn expression, she said, “Very good, Xu Sheng. From this moment onward, you are my disciple, Bibi Dong’s disciple. You are also hereby appointed the Spirit Hall’s Holy Son!”

Chrysanthemum Douluo, who had been holding himself back all this time, could no longer contain himself. He could understand what Bibi Dong had said before, but Xu Sheng had only just joined the Spirit Hall, and she had already appointed him Holy Son!

This was far too perfunctory! Besides, who knew whether this boy harbored ulterior motives?

Thus, despite the enormous pressure weighing on him, he stepped forward and said with an uneasy expression, “Your Holiness, I’m afraid that may be inappropriate.”

Ghost Douluo was much wiser this time. He quietly retreated a few steps, praying for Chrysanthemum Douluo in his heart.

Little Chrysanthemum, it isn’t that this old ghost refuses to stand with you. Don’t you understand the position this boy holds in Her Holiness’s eyes?

You’re courting disaster by provoking her now. Have you grown tired of living?

After Chrysanthemum Douluo repeatedly contradicted her, Bibi Dong’s expression gradually darkened. “What, exactly, is inappropriate?”

Chrysanthemum Douluo trembled all over. But since the words had already left his mouth, he could only brace himself and continue, hoping that Bibi Dong might change her mind.

He bent forward and explained, “This boy... No, Xu Sheng has only just joined the Spirit Hall, yet he has already been appointed Holy Son. The other young members of the Spirit Hall, those who do not know the circumstances, may refuse to accept him.”

Beside them, Xu Sheng stared coldly at Chrysanthemum Douluo, who kept dragging him into the argument. Supporting his chin, he pondered, What’s wrong with this Chrysanthemum fellow? Doesn’t he understand the situation at all? Should I find an opportunity to deal with him?

His first martial soul still had no soul rings. Even if he obtained some, Chrysanthemum Douluo’s wealth of battle experience meant Xu Sheng might not actually be able to defeat him.

Then he seemed to think of something, and the corners of his lips unconsciously curved upward.

If I can’t kill you, can’t I at least exhaust you to death? I’ll have you serve as a free laborer today!

Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes and slowly lifted her amethyst scepter. She then slammed it against the ground.

From beneath her elegant figure, nine awe-inspiring soul rings slowly rose into the air.

Yellow, purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, black...

The first several soul rings already surpassed the standard configuration. Then, as the final crimson hundred-thousand-year soul ring emerged—

A violent gale swept through the entire Spirit Hall, as though everything was under Bibi Dong’s control.

Only then did she speak with icy eyes and overwhelming authority. “I, Bibi Dong, am the Pope of the Spirit Hall! Who dares refuse to submit?”

Under the pressure of her imposing presence, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo did not even dare look her directly in the eye.

Only Xu Sheng’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he silently praised her.

Incredible! At this moment, he wanted nothing more than to say: To hell with Shrek, the Star Luo Empire, and the Heaven Dou Empire! Let them all go to hell!

This was Bibi Dong’s unique charm. In times of peace, she was as gentle as a drifting boat; when angered, she dared make mountains collapse and rivers run dry!

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo realized that things had taken a turn for the worse. They lowered their heads apologetically.

“Your Holiness, we had no intention of defying you. Please forgive us!”

“I spoke out of turn just now. Please forgive me, Your Holiness!”

There was not the slightest trace of warmth in Bibi Dong’s icy face as she uttered a single word.

“Begone!”

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo waited anxiously for her response. Once they heard her clearly, the hearts they had held in suspense finally settled.

After bowing slightly, they hurriedly left the hall.

If Bibi Dong became truly angry, given her decisive and ruthless nature, she could kill them both without anyone daring to say a word.

From now on, Chrysanthemum and I really need to be more careful, lest we end up suffering because of someone else’s mistake...

...

“Your martial soul is exceedingly evil. It must have some kind of flaw, correct?”

After Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had left, Bibi Dong stood with her back to Xu Sheng and spoke indifferently.

Xu Sheng’s heart sank. How did Bibi Dong know that?

He nodded and replied, “Yes, Teacher. My Nine-Hearted Blood Begonia requires frequent nourishment with blood and souls. Otherwise, the martial soul will gradually wither.”

What Xu Sheng said was true. Although this martial soul was tremendously powerful, it had to be nourished with blood and souls at regular intervals. Otherwise, it would wither until it eventually vanished altogether.

He suspected that his might be the first martial soul on the continent with such a restriction. A martial soul that could wither even after awakening...

Bibi Dong abruptly turned around and stared at Xu Sheng, murmuring, “Nourishment with blood... and souls?”

This condition was far more demanding than she had imagined.

She frowned, then relaxed again and said lightly, “In a moment, have Elder Chrysanthemum and Elder Ghost accompany you to the Star Dou Forest to hunt soul beasts. You can use the blood and souls of those beasts to nourish your martial soul.”

Xu Sheng put on a grateful expression. “Thank you, Teacher!”

Inwardly, he was delighted.

It seems my plan worked. Just you wait, Chrysanthemum fellow. I’ll make sure you’re exhausted until you become nothing more than a withered flower!

Should I have the two of them fight the Titan Giant Ape? Or perhaps the Azure Bull Python?

Hmm...

Bibi Dong gazed at Xu Sheng, who had fallen into a daze, and slowly shook her head. In a soft voice, she said, “There is no need for that. Since you are my disciple, these three soul bones will serve as my gift to you.”

With a wave of the amethyst scepter in her hand, brilliant multicolored light appeared wherever it passed. Three soul bones materialized in midair.

Guided by Bibi Dong’s soul power, they floated toward Xu Sheng and hovered before him.

All three soul bones had been obtained by the former Pope, Qian Xunji, through hunting soul beasts.

After Bibi Dong killed him, they naturally came into her possession.

Xu Sheng stared at the soul bones before him, his entire mind going blank.

What the hell? I get a beautiful teacher right at the start, along with three soul bones as a bonus? Then why do all those other transmigrators insist on opposing the Spirit Hall? Isn’t this wonderful?

Seeing Xu Sheng’s stunned expression, Bibi Dong’s lips seemed to curve into a smile, though it vanished in an instant.

Bibi Dong slowly closed her eyes. Her grip on the amethyst scepter tightened slightly as she said, “Take them. Absorbing nine soul rings at once will require soul bones to support you and alleviate the pressure those powerful soul rings will place on your young body. Otherwise, you will not survive for more than two years.”

Xu Sheng put away the soul bones and frowned. His heart turned cold.

“Not survive for more than two years?”

He truly had not known that. If he had not joined the Spirit Hall and received these soul bones from Bibi Dong, then...

Hiss...
