Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, Martial Soul Enhancement Panel

Chapter 31 Confrontation: Pope Yu Xiaogang's Fortuitous Encounter with Tyrannosaurus Rex Spine

Inside the courtyard, the blue silver grass grows vigorously against a backdrop of blue sky and clear clouds.

Bibi Dong stared coldly at Qin Xu with an expressionless face.

The Bibi Dong of today is no longer the graceful and elegant woman she once was. Her hair is disheveled, her face is ashen, and she reeks of blood and sweat.

Seeing Bibi Dong's expression and recalling the information provided by Hei Bo, Qin Xu knew that Bibi Dong had helped him clean up the mess and had been waiting here for a week.

He was quite surprised. The Pope of the Spirit Hall was extremely busy and couldn't possibly be here to help him protect his home. He was probably here for Tang San.

Fortunately, he had already prepared a plan in his mind before meeting Bibi Dong.

Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Bibi Dong's words.

"Qin Xu, I want to ask you something," Bibi Dong said in a hoarse voice, getting straight to the point: "Tang San possesses twin martial souls; the other one is the Clear Sky Hammer. Did you know that?"

Qin Xu's pupils contracted, and his grip tightened slightly.

Although he had anticipated that Bibi Dong would ask him this question, he did not expect her to ask it so directly.

The other party's personality had changed so drastically, which Qin Xu had not expected.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Xu calmed down: "I understand."

Bibi Dong looked at Qin Xu and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Do you even know that his father is a great enemy of my Spirit Hall, my greatest enemy! Your disciple, Tang San, is his son!"

Qin Xu felt a powerful sense of oppression coming from all directions. In just an instant, Qin Xu broke free from this powerful soul pressure. As someone who mainly cultivated his physical body, he did not feel any discomfort in the face of this soul pressure.

He still pretended to be struggling. The other party's intention in using soul pressure was self-evident; if you act relaxed at this moment, it's like turning the table when your boss is serving you food.

Qin Xu said, "By the time I learned his identity, he had already become my disciple."

"Where is he now?" Bibi Dong's voice was hoarse and dry, and the pressure on her soul gradually disappeared.

"Not in Nottingham."

After the pressure subsided, Qin Xu looked at the almost dried bloodstains on Bibi Dong's body and asked, "How did you get injured like this? Did you run into Tang Hao?"

Bibi Dong ignored her and her hoarse voice rang out again.

"I'm going to kill him, will you stop me?" Bibi Dong asked.

"Yes." Qin Xu deliberately hesitated for a long while before saying, "Bibi Dong, can you spare his life?"

Bibi Dong looked at him quietly.

"The other party is now my apprentice," Qin Xu added.

Give me a reason.

Qin Xu racked his brains but couldn't come up with a reason for Bibi Dong to give up killing Tang San. After a long while, he said, "First of all, I can assure you that Tang San will not hate the Spirit Hall in the future."

He planned to talk to Tang San about this and get a concrete promise on the condition that Tang San would cure his mother.

Bibi Dong stared intently at Qin Xu, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

"Secondly, can I help you find a way to calm your mind?" Qin Xu probed. "Bibi Dong, I remember you said you were once corrupted by evil thoughts. I can help you find a way to calm your mind..."

"You? You think you can solve the test about 'god'?" Bibi Dong sneered. "Do you even know what malice is? A Soul Master, trying to solve the test about 'god'?"

Having lost her spiritual support and emotional anchor, Bibi Dong was almost overwhelmed by intense malice.

Rakshasa is an evil god whose power comes from negative emotions such as hatred, jealousy, enmity, and evil. To inherit the power of this god, one must have intense evil thoughts in one's heart.

Secondly, it prevents one from being completely corrupted by evil thoughts and becoming a puppet who only knows how to destroy the world.

"god?"

Qin Xu was suddenly shocked. Gods existed in this world? Titled Douluo was not the end?

"Then let me show you what I've been through."

Bibi Dong suddenly grabbed Qin Xu's wrist, and an evil and violent aura surged in. The coldness and eeriness of this aura were like an evil spirit, constantly assaulting Qin Xu's mind.

"Come to hell with me!"

Qin Xu shivered instantly, feeling a surge of mixed thoughts and a strong surge of hatred.

He felt a surge of anger, rising hatred, intense jealousy, and overwhelming resentment in his chest. But soon, Qin Xu found a way to break the ice. He emptied his mind, and within the secret chamber of his body, the fire of his heart burned fiercely, instantly suppressing and eliminating the evil thoughts and divine power.

However, Qin Xu's emotions were still affected and suddenly plummeted.

That feeling—despair, desolation, a loss of hope for life—was extremely intense.

This is Bibi Dong's current mood.

On top of power, emotions can actually be added?

Qin Xu had no time to think about these things. He just felt a tightness in his chest, a feeling somewhat like when he awakened his martial soul and only awakened the Blue Silver Grass.

At that time, his mother's disappointed expression and the elder's disdainful gaze left even him, an adult, feeling dejected for a long time.

Fortunately, this feeling came and went quickly.

Bibi Dong stared at Qin Xu, wondering how he had managed to resist the invasion of evil thoughts. Had he secretly studied methods to calm the mind? No wonder he dared to say that.

Normally, she would have investigated it in detail, because that would mean she could disregard the limitations of the divine test and unleash her full power anytime, anywhere. But now, it's meaningless.

Because her biggest challenge is the impact of malice on her emotions, the negative effects that occasionally plunge her into feelings of loss, confusion, and sadness.

The "master" is a fraud, and her past is a joke.

He wanted revenge, but was stopped by the Rakshasa god.

What use is her strength if she's so powerful?

Moreover, Bibi Dong's mind is now riddled with holes, which is commonly known as her Dao heart being shattered.

A normal person's broken heart can be healed with time, by looking at a phone, or by using food to soothe it. But Bibi Dong was imprisoned in a dark and gloomy chamber for a full year, and was also infected by the strange divine power of the Rakshasa God, which was inherently filled with negative emotions.

Once the Dao heart is completely shattered, the wound will only grow larger.

Originally, Bibi Dong could recall the good times and barely stabilize her emotions, but she was also prone to mood swings and nightmares.

Now, what was once a cherished ideal has become a worthless burden. If it weren't for the groundwork laid by the Qin Ruins, which lowered expectations of Yu Xiaogang, her reaction would have been even more intense.

At this moment, Bibi Dong is surrounded by countless negative emotions.

He even felt that he was just a scoundrel who was disloyal, unrighteous, and unfilial.

With a sigh, Bibi Dong thought that Qin Xu might have specifically searched for a way to calm her mind, and said.

"Enough, enough, they're all ingrates." Bibi Dong said wearily, "If you want me to spare his life, I won't kill him."

"I will help you, please don't give up." Qin Xu was still panting, and after a while he looked up.

"I told you I wouldn't kill him," Bibi Dong said coldly.

"But I also said I would help you," Qin Xu replied.

Bibi Dong remained silent; she felt it was pointless.

Is this a firm rejection? Or is it an inability to understand her own thoughts? She herself couldn't say for sure.

"How are your injuries?" Qin Xu asked.

Bibi Dong didn't speak, as if she hadn't reacted yet.

After waiting for a while, she said, "If you don't want to die, then don't meddle in other people's business."

Low-level Soul Masters are useless against her, but high-level healing Soul Masters can recognize her...

"You've misunderstood," Qin Xu said immediately. "I wanted to ask if you're going to die, and if so, if there's anything you'd like to leave behind, like an inheritance."

Bibi Dong's face darkened.

Qin Xu felt that the crisis had passed, that Bibi Dong had no ill intentions towards him, and that he had avenged his past rejection, which made him feel very happy.

After Bibi Dong realized what was happening, she actually felt a sense of relief.

She didn't want Qin Xu to do anything unnecessary, partly because she felt he lacked the connections to find any powerful support-type Soul Masters, but more so because she thought it would implicate unrelated people.

In her opinion.

Qian Daoliu had always wanted her dead.

She killed Qian Xunji, and her survival was not due to Qian Daoliu's mercy, but because Qian Daoliu, as an angel worshipper, dared not offend the gods, even though she was only a candidate for godhood.

The word "stability" permeated Qian Daoliu's entire life.

As for mercy? If Qian Daoliu were truly merciful, why would he force her to go to the City of Slaughter? And why would he lock her in a secret room for a whole year?

Wasn't it because he saw her talent for cultivation and worried that he would take revenge on Qian Xunji and the Spirit Hall after he grew up? He was worried that if she died at the hands of the Spirit Hall, his genius granddaughter would find out the truth when she grew up.

A test? You must be kidding me!

Over the past ten thousand years, only three people have survived entering the City of Slaughter. At that time, I was just a Soul Saint who secretly hid my twin martial souls. As long as I followed the plan step by step, I would have a chance for revenge sooner or later. There was no need for me to enter the City of Slaughter.

What kind of place is the Killing Capital?

Further on, Tang Chen was already a Super Douluo when he entered the City of Slaughter.

When Tang Hao entered, he was a Soul Douluo, but he entered the City of Slaughter because of Tang Chen.

She was able to emerge because she was chosen by the god Rakshasa. Without divine protection, even if she had completed a hundred hellish killing sessions, she would not have been qualified to walk the path to hell.

Instead, they will become playthings of the King of Hell.

If Qian Daoliu knew that her mind was broken and that she had almost failed the divine test, he would undoubtedly take action against her.

Therefore, she cannot return to Wuhun City, nor does she dare to return to Wuhun City.

"No need, thank you for your concern." Bibi Dong responded quickly this time.

This sounds like Sun Wukong praising Yamcha's Wolf Fang Wind Fist – the praise is so insincere, it sounds incredibly fake.

But Qin Xu felt quite good.

Bibi Dong suddenly tossed out a blood-red soul bone, saying simply, "Legacy."

The surface of this blood-red soul bone was adorned with golden dragon patterns, and Qin Xu felt his blood and qi surge as soon as he touched it.

"This is."

Qin Xu wanted to ask more questions, but Bibi Dong had already disappeared.

The small vermilion door was also tightly closed from the outside.

Bibi Dong leaned against the door, stared blankly for a moment, and then suddenly looked up.

As expected, her status was lower than Tang San's.

This is quite normal, since the two of them really don't have much contact.

But, sure enough, I felt even more uncomfortable.

*

"...This is my home," Qin Xu muttered, then began to examine the soul bone.

Then, Qin Xu felt a surge of energy.

This is a dragon-attribute soul bone, exuding a majestic dragon aura. Just by placing it in his palm and observing its patterns, Qin Xu could feel the powerful energy contained within this soul bone. Its quality far surpasses that of the Blue Silver King soul bone. The golden runes on the surface of the soul bone are like interwoven golden threads, dazzlingly bright.

Grass!

This is definitely not an ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul bone.

Just kidding, I actually got myself such a precious thing.

Qin Xu's mindset underwent a slight change.

Is this the power of those in authority to corrupt people's minds?

He completely forgave her for the sin of arrogance she had committed simply by casually giving her a soul bone of such quality.

Hakidon, you get 30 extra points!

Qin Xu decided to absorb it immediately because Bibi Dong was nearby, and even if the door was closed, she could protect him.

Most importantly, he felt that this soul bone was extremely suitable for him.

Cultivating martial arts requires more than just qi and blood.

Unparalleled power, unparalleled defense, unparalleled speed, unparalleled recovery...

The Yakuza... isn't that what it's all about?!

Moreover, the soul bone in the spine is the rarest part, not to mention the dragon attribute soul bone.

A dragon-attribute, ten-thousand-year-old soul bone—it's impossible to find one in the Qin Ruins anytime soon.

Qin Xu felt that the energy contained in this soul bone might allow him to break through to level 40 directly.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Xu pressed the soul bone against his back. The blood-red soul bone flowed with a soft light, glowing red and shimmering, as if it were polished from jade.

The soul bone touched Qin Xu's spine and transformed into a ball of crimson-gold liquid, instantly entering Qin Xu's body.

In an instant, a warm feeling rose up, and the effect was immediate.
