Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 404 Frankness
"It seems that Tang San has fallen into your hands due to the way the Xuan Tian Gong's soul power operates."

Lin Rong looked up ahead, and under the cover of his mind, the circulation route of Bibi Dong's soul power was clearly visible in his eyes.

"It is truly an insult to our authentic Taoist secret teachings to fall into the hands of a blue-faced evil ghost like you."

The young and calm voice reached Bibi Dong's ears, and her already dark complexion immediately turned even more somber. Her gaze lingered on Lin Rong, scrutinizing him, her expression shifting between surprise and relief.

"So you also come from another world like Tang San, but you are even more outstanding than him, so outstanding that you are practically inhuman. At the young age of fifteen, you have already reached the realm of gods."

"I'm curious, you and Tang San both come from another world. He has the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heavenly Treasure Record, what do you have?"

"But since you have been able to cultivate to this level at such a young age, your secret must be no less powerful than the Tang Sect's Xuan Tian Treasure Record."

Jin E was completely bewildered. He recognized every single word in what other world and Tang Sect Xuan Tian Bao Lu, but when they were put together to form a sentence, he couldn't understand it.

Beside Lin Rong, the old butler listened to the conversation between his young master and Bibi Dong, his expression unchanged, showing no change. He simply silently reached out and clasped the young master's hand tightly.

The old butler's handshake completely put Lin Rong's worries at ease.

He revealed his deepest secret to the old butler in this way, though it was a spur-of-the-moment decision. Without sufficient affection, he wouldn't have had the courage to make this clear.

"That's right, the inheritance I have is indeed much stronger than the Xuan Tian Treasure Record that Tang San stole."

"What? You want it?"

"It's in my head, come and get it if you dare!"

Lin Rong pulled the old steward up, and the two transformed into blue and white streaks of light, rushing towards the sky. In the blink of an eye, they were already above the clouds.

"I can't ask for it!"

Bibi Dong had just achieved the position of Rakshasa God, and the immense expansion of her power caused her ego to swell rapidly as well.

This is also reflected in the original work.

That was the first time Bibi Dong and Tang San clashed after Bibi Dong became gods. The three godhoods of Rakshasa God, Angel God, and Sea God were of equal status, but Bibi Dong arrogantly believed that her Rakshasa Godhood was superior to that of Angel God and Sea God, and that her strength was also superior to that of Sea God Tang San.

With her twin martial souls, after inheriting the Rakshasa God's position, her second martial soul, the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, although not inheriting the Rakshasa God's position like her first martial soul, was able to condense an avatar with strength comparable to her original self under the power of the god's position.

The only drawback of the clones is that they lack intelligence; Bibi Dong needs to distract herself to control them in order to unleash their power.

Perhaps it was this point that gave Bibi Dong inflated courage and confidence, making her in the original work feel that her strength was above Tang San's, and also making her feel at this moment that even if she were to fight two against one, she was confident that she could defeat Lin Rong and Yu Yuan.

Ignoring the golden crocodile beside her, Bibi Dong soared into the sky alone, determined to obtain the inheritance that Lin Rong had mentioned.

Although the golden crocodile was completely confused and couldn't understand what they were saying, anything that could be valued by a god must be a good thing.

Since it's a good thing, he naturally wants a share.

Because of this, Jin E forgot to ask Lin Rong and the others what their purpose was in coming to the Spirit Hall; his curiosity urged him to hurry up and follow them.

The sky, above the clouds.

The four people were paired up and faced off from a distance.

"Young Master, leave Bibi Dong to this old servant to deal with."

The old steward inherited the divine position, so he naturally knew what divine positions existed in the divine realm and their ranks.

The Rakshasa God's position is above the God of War's position, and Bibi Dong's talent and foundation are also superior to the Golden Crocodile.

Therefore, in terms of strength, Bibi Dong, who inherited the position of Rakshasa God, must be stronger than Jin E, who inherited the position of War God.

For the young master's safety, he naturally had to pick the tough one. "Well, then I'll take care of the golden crocodile."

Lin Rong nodded slightly.

The old steward inherited the divine position of the God of Light. Rakshasa is a malevolent force of killing, and the power of the God of Light can more or less have a restraining effect on it.

The advantage of having a divine attribute doesn't guarantee a win, but it at least ensures invincibility, just like how the Golden Crocodile was able to remain undefeated against the Old Butler last time by leveraging the War God's ability to grow stronger with each battle.

Lin Rong himself had just broken through to the Title Douluo level. Although he was confident that he had the strength to confront the gods head-on, it was always better to be cautious.

Among the two from the Spirit Hall, Golden Crocodile is the weakest. It's good to occasionally bully the weak.

Forty-five spirit rings and three divine rings appeared almost simultaneously.

Of the four, the old butler, like the golden crocodile, had six black, three red, and one gold.

The only difference is that the old butler's halo is platinum, while the golden crocodile's halo is pure gold.

Bibi Dong's is much more luxurious. Her first martial soul, the Death Spider Emperor, which inherited the Rakshasa God's position, is six black, three red, and one gold. The gold of her divine soul is a black-gold with a bluish-purple hue.

The clone formed by the second martial soul, the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, has nine red soul rings, all of which are 100,000-year soul rings.

After becoming a god, the lifespan of all soul rings increases by 50,000 years.

Bibi Dong's second spirit rings are all over 50,000 years old. She increased them by another 50,000 years, creating the spectacular sight that all nine of her spirit rings are 100,000-year spirit rings.

In the original novel, Tang San was the first to achieve this feat, but now it has been accomplished by Bibi Dong.

"Having twin martial souls is indeed a unique talent."

Of the four people present, the old butler and the golden crocodile both had a hint of envy in their eyes. Which soul master wouldn't yearn for all their soul rings to be red, symbolizing 100,000 years?

Even though they are already gods, they only have a soul ring configuration of six black and three red.

Unlike the others, Bibi Dong's gaze did not fall on Yu Yuan, but instead looked at Lin Rong, who was opposite Jin E.

"Three black, five red, and one gold—you also possess twin martial souls?"

Bibi Dong's eyes widened, her tone filled with shock, jealousy, and resentment.

When did twin martial souls become so common? Tang San is one, and Lin Rong is another.

But then she thought about it again. Both Tang San and Lin Rong came from another world. If transmigration could happen to them, it seemed perfectly normal for them to have twin martial souls that were a once-in-a-millennium occurrence.

"No, I only have one martial soul."

Lin Rong answered without any hesitation.

There's nothing to hide, and no need to conceal it.

Upon hearing this, apart from the old butler who remained calm, Bibi Dong and Jin E both wore expressions of disbelief.

"This is impossible!"

Of the two, the one least willing to believe it was Bibi Dong.

A single martial soul accomplished what she, with her twin martial souls, couldn't. This not only slapped her in the face but also shattered the pride she had built up because of her twin martial souls.
