Half a month has passed, and Bibi Dong's soul power has reached level seventy.
This means she can go to the Netherworld Forest to hunt for her seventh soul ring!
Qian Yucheng in the Library Pavilion sensed this and was very curious about the scene of Bibi Dong's martial soul undergoing a metamorphosis after absorbing the seventh Death Spider!
"Bibi Dong, our show has begun. Those high and mighty gods should be watching with great interest!"
"I wonder if your martial soul metamorphosis will make them notice anything unusual?!"
Bibi Dong came to the Papal Palace and met Qian Xunji, saying,
"Teacher, my soul power has reached level seventy, and I can go to the Netherworld Forest to obtain my seventh soul ring!"
Qian Xunji nodded, quite satisfied with her talent.
"Good, good, good!"
"Someone, summon Elders Chrysanthemum, Ghost, Leopard, and Bear to the Papal Palace!"
At Qian Xunji's summons, four titled Douluo elders were called over.
The four bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope!"
"Elders, please rise. I've summoned you here to help Dong'er obtain her seventh spirit ring!"
Qian Xunji explained the reason for his summons.
The four were astonished and looked at Bibi Dong. Her talent was simply too monstrous!
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old Soul Saint was a rare find even on the entire Douluo Continent!
"We will certainly protect the Holy Maiden and ensure her successful acquisition of her seventh spirit ring!"
Yue Guan and the other three said in unison.
"I'm coming along this time too. Staying in the Spirit Hall for so long, it's good to get out and relax occasionally."
Actually, he had a feeling urging him to go out, as if his breakthrough was imminent!
Hearing Qian Xunji's words, Yue Guan said, "Since Your Holiness the Pope is accompanying us, shouldn't we also invite a Title Douluo?"
"Yes, let's invite Lion!" Qian Xunji said.
Lion then arrived at the Papal Palace, and the group discussed their plan of action.
Before leaving, Qian Xunji instructed, "Dong'er, go see your friends after you obtain your seventh spirit ring!"
Bibi Dong understood his arrangement and didn't say anything more.
...
On Yu Xiaogang's side, after leaving Wuhun City, he arrived near the Star Dou Great Forest, feeling lost and disoriented.
Fate seemed to have spared him; he first met Flander, a boy of similar age.
After a conversation, the two seemed to get along very well, as if they were kindred spirits!
That night, they chatted amiably and immediately became sworn brothers.
Flander was a year older than Yu Xiaogang, making him the elder brother.
Later, the two entered the Star Dou Great Forest and met a lively, straightforward, and fiery-tempered woman.
After a brief introduction, the three of them found themselves getting along very well.
Thus, the three of them embarked on an adventure in the Star Dou Great Forest together.
When the three of them activated their spirit power simultaneously, they exhibited a high degree of synergy!
Yu Xiaogang, with his richer theoretical knowledge than Flander and Liu Erlong, immediately saw the key point.
The three of them might be able to perform a Spirit Fusion Technique!
This is a powerful Martial Soul skill, not just a simple one plus one equals two!
After some theoretical verification and initial practice, it was indeed possible to perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
However, the Star Dou Great Forest was not safe, so the three left and came to a place where no one or any other Soul Masters would disturb them, preparing to focus on cultivating their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
This place was a valley about fifteen miles away from the Netherworld Forest.
Little did they know, their whereabouts had already been thoroughly discovered by the Martial Soul Hall's spies.
While the three were diligently cultivating their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Bibi Dong, Qian Xunji, and their group had already arrived at the outer edge of the Netherworld Forest.
Yue Guan, having been here six times, was already very familiar with this place.
"Your Holiness, Lion, this Netherworld Forest is fraught with danger, even more dangerous than the Star Dou Great Forest!"
"We must be vigilant at all times, and there are many poisonous creatures here. Once we enter, remember not to act recklessly!"
Hearing Yue Guan's words, Qian Xunji nodded.
"Elder Ju, we understand. Please lead the way!"
With that, the group headed towards the Death Spider's habitat.
The moment Bibi Dong stepped into the Netherworld Forest, the Death Spider swarm sensed it.
"Our clan's royal spirit wielder has arrived! The time for my sacrifice has come!"
one of the Death Spiders declared, its voice filled with unwavering resolve.
Since the divine tribulation bestowed upon them by the God Realm, the Death Spider clan had never had a Spider King reaching the 100,000-year level.
Countless years had passed, and now only three elders, each over 90,000 years old, remained.
They had been waiting for the Spider King's arrival, and the three 90,000-year-old Death Spiders sensed it when Bibi Dong acquired her first spirit ring.
Unconditionally helping the Spider King grow was the first mission of their inherited memories.
The Death Spider clan gained the ability to speak upon reaching 80,000 years of cultivation.
"Third brother, go! This is the glorious mission of our clan!"
the strongest Death Spider spoke, and then the third brother it spoke of, the 93,000-year-old Death Spider, left its burrow.
Bibi Dong suddenly stopped; her Death Spider King had sensed it!
"Teachers, elders, prepare for battle!"
"Danger is approaching, it might be a Death Spider!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a violent tremor shook the area ahead, and a gigantic Death Spider appeared!
Bibi Dong glanced at its forelegs and instantly knew its age:
93,000 years!
However, this Death Spider didn't attack immediately after appearing.
It stopped two hundred meters away from the group, carefully scrutinizing Bibi Dong.
"You are the human who possesses the royal spirit of my clan, aren't you!"
Hearing the spirit beast speak human language, Qian Xunji and the four Title Douluos stared at it in shock.
Bibi Dong, however, showed no fear and directly revealed her own spirit, the Death Spider Emperor.
Upon seeing this, the Death Spider became somewhat excited.
This was their emperor, the emperor of the Death Spider clan!
"Humans, accept my power!"
The Death Spider declared, its body radiating powerful soul energy.
"Another soul beast sacrifice! Has the Holy Maiden gained the favor of this race?!"
Yue Guan, though he'd seen it a few times, was still shocked.
Qian Xunji and the Lion stared wide-eyed; this was the first time they'd witnessed a soul beast sacrifice.
Under the Death Spider's sacrifice, Bibi Dong's martial soul uncontrollably possessed the body.
Then, powerful soul energy flowed into her body, causing her no discomfort.
Image
Instead, she felt a sense of comfort, like soaking in a hot spring!
Soon, the sacrificial Death Spider disappeared, and seven spirit rings appeared on Bibi Dong's body!
Purple, purple-black, black, black, black, black, black!
Her spirit power level also reached level 74!
But it wasn't over yet; her spirit fusion state also underwent a transformation!
The spider form of her lower body disappeared, and her jade-like feet touched the ground.
Then, the Death Spider King's outer shell armor enveloped her body.
Four pairs of Death Spider King's spider spears, symmetrically positioned on either side, spread out to the sides!
Her slender legs were also clad in spirit-condensed armor boots.
Death Spider King spirit transformation!
Bibi Dong was very satisfied with this appearance; it was exactly the same as the picture Qian Yucheng had shown her!
She turned to look at Qian Xunji and smiled, "Teacher, I'm going to see my old friend!"
Qian Xunji, seeing Bibi Dong's novel change, suppressed his urge to ask questions.
"Alright, let's go!"
Although Yue Guan and the others were puzzled, they didn't ask any further questions.
…
Yu Xiaogang was sitting in the courtyard in the valley, studying the theory of the three's spirit fusion technique.
Suddenly, a familiar female voice came from outside the door:
"Xiaogang, are you in there?"
He thought he was hallucinating. Why would Bibi Dong be here?!
Just as he was about to continue making annotations, the voice came again:
"Xiaogang, I've come to find you!"
*Click!*
Yu Xiaogang put down his pen, realizing it wasn't a hallucination!
Bibi Dong had really found him!
To be honest, his first instinct was not to see Bibi Dong!
Because he… now had Erlong!
Since the Spirit Hall had expelled him, why would she come here and disrupt his peaceful life?!
After thinking it over, he got up and slowly walked towards Bibi Dong's location.
Soon, Bibi Dong saw Yu Xiaogang and showed a look of joy.
"Xiaogang, I've come to find you!"
"I was going to look for you after you disappeared, but I was confined!"
"How have you been these past few days?!"
She looked at him with concern, very worried that he hadn't been doing well.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang was momentarily speechless.
"I..."
Just as he was about to speak, another female voice rang out.
"Xiaogang, Boss Fu and I had great luck today! We picked a lot of fresh mushrooms and even caught two plump pheasants!"
"We're in for a treat tonight!"
Bibi Dong's face paled slightly upon hearing this voice.
Liu Erlong was indeed very happy; today's harvest was fantastic!
Naturally, she was eager to rush home to prepare a delicious dinner for Yu Xiaogang.
However, as she entered the courtyard, she found a woman whose appearance was no less striking than hers, with a noble and elegant demeanor, standing before Yu Xiaogang.
A woman's intuition told her: this woman was no ordinary person!
Liu Erlong hurriedly approached Yu Xiaogang, her gaze unfriendly as she looked at Bibi Dong.
"Who are you, and what are you doing here looking for Xiaogang?!"
Seeing Bibi Dong's protective stance towards her husband, Bibi Dong realized that what her teacher had said was true!
She took two steps back, her face turning deathly pale!
"Xiao Gang, it's only been a little over a month, and you…"
"I've tried so hard to help you, but I never imagined…"
She realized that she had only been wishfully thinking!
"Dong'er, I…"
Yu Xiaogang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Bibi Dong.
"You don't need to explain anything to me, you're not worthy to call me that!"
"I was so stupid to do such a foolish thing!"
Bibi Dong's emotions were somewhat out of control, and her expression became somewhat ferocious.
Liu Erlong sensed something was wrong and promptly revealed her martial soul.
Five soul rings appeared: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black.
"Soul King, your talent is not bad."
"Unfortunately…"
Before Bibi Dong could finish speaking, she instantly appeared in front of Liu Erlong and knocked her unconscious.
"The gap between you and me is still too great!"
After Liu Erlong fell, a trace of worry flashed across Yu Xiaogang's face.
Bibi Dong looked at his expression, her eyes filled with a hint of tenderness.
"Xiao Gang, without you by my side, I'm truly in so much pain!"
"But seeing her happy, I also want to make her suffer. What should I do?"
Yu Xiaogang looked at her in confusion. What did she mean by that?
Did she want Erlong to suffer too?
Before he could react, Bibi Dong stood before him, her right index fingernail turning jet black and long, piercing his heart!
"Uh..."
Yu Xiaogang stared at Bibi Dong in disbelief, his face gradually turning black—this was the poison of the Death Spider Queen.
"Xiao Gang, I think she'll be in a lot of pain when she wakes up!"
*Swoosh!
* Bibi Dong withdrew her right hand and took a step back.
Thump!
Yu Xiaogang collapsed to the ground, unable to move, feeling his consciousness fading.
"Erlong..."
he whispered, his face turning black, and he fell silent.
"Hahaha, now it's not just me who's suffering!"
With that, Bibi Dong left, her face filled with sorrow.
