Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 472 The Fifth Soul Ring: I must set aside one day specifically to spend with my teacher!
Bibi Dong waved her hand, her tone carrying a hint of disdain: "It's alright."

"Improving our strength is the key, while fighting Shrek Academy is just a competition."

"Let them wait."

"Do you, Dai Chengfeng, really intend to waste your precious time improving your strength for a mere Tang San?"

"Go and obtain the spirit ring in peace. Remember to inform your master before you return, so that Tang San can experience your power as soon as possible."

Consider it a testing ground for you after you obtain your fifth spirit ring.

"how?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Chengfeng was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter.

Yes, when did I become so fixated on a bet?

In this Douluo Continent, improving one's strength is the eternal theme.

Tang San? He's just an insignificant person on my path to growth. Why should I disrupt my cultivation rhythm for him?

Just because he's the protagonist of the original story? Ha!
“Teacher is right, I was too attached to appearances.” Dai Chengfeng readily agreed, “I will follow Teacher’s arrangements in everything.”

Seeing that Dai Chengfeng listened to her advice, Bibi Dong nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.

"Just figure it out."

Then, she sighed softly, "However, this time when you acquire your fifth spirit ring, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you personally."

As Bibi Dong spoke, she sat down on a chair to the side, crossing her slender, white legs.

"Last time, I accompanied you to obtain a spirit ring, which resulted in me being away from the Spirit Hall for a long time."

"But the old guys in the Douluo Hall had quite a few complaints about this!"

Bibi Dong picked up a cup of tea, a shadow of gloom flashing in her eyes. "Hmph!"

"One day, I will make those old guys pay..."

Bibi Dong shook her head, no longer continuing the topic, and looked back at Dai Chengfeng, "How about this..."

"This time, I will have Yue Guan and Gui Mei accompany you. With their protection, we can ensure that everything goes smoothly."

"Ghostly Demon and Senior Moon Pass?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Chengfeng pondered for a moment and then shook his head: "Teacher, I think there's no need to trouble Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo."

"My High Priestess Zhu Hongxiu of the Star Luo Empire recently broke through to the Title Douluo realm, and my mother happened to bring her to Wuhun City to see me..."

"Having her accompany me, Nana, and Zhuqing to the Star Dou Great Forest is enough."

"As for the two seniors, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, it would be safer for them to stay by the teacher's side. After all, this is where the teacher truly needs people."

Of course, these are just superficial explanations.

Dai Chengfeng's real considerations went far beyond that.

His fifth spirit ring was very special; it wasn't obtained through normal means, but rather through Qiu'er's sacrifice.

Therefore, Dai Chengfeng still planned to hold back, after all, Qiu'er's identity was extremely special, she was the Emperor Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and her soul ring was even more special...

This time, Dai Chengfeng might even possess his own second martial soul.

Therefore, the fewer people who know the details of his fifth spirit ring, the better.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei are both well-established titled Douluo with sharp eyes.

With them present, it would be difficult for Dai Chengfeng to completely conceal all energy fluctuations and unusual phenomena during the sacrifice, especially at the crucial moment when he might activate his second martial soul. What if they noticed something amiss…

On the other hand, although Zhu Hongxiu, the high priestess, has also been promoted to a titled Douluo, she is still a newcomer with a cultivation level of around 91, and her realm has not yet been fully stabilized.

Dai Chengfeng's spiritual power has quietly increased to the level of a Title Douluo after undergoing trials and tribulations, receiving numerous hidden nourishments within his body, and consuming the Four Symbols and Five Elements Lotus. This is roughly equivalent to a Title Douluo at level 91 or 92.

Therefore, given his powerful mental strength, if he intentionally concealed it and was well-prepared...

It's much easier to deceive Zhu Hongxiu's senses than to deceive Ju and Gui.

Moreover, Zhu Hongxiu came from the Star Luo Empire and was brought by her mother. Compared to the Title Douluo of the Spirit Hall, there was a layer of separation in their relationship, making some secrets easier to control.

Taking all these factors into account, having Zhu Hongxiu accompany him is the option with the lowest risk and most favorable for Dai Chengfeng to implement his plan under the current circumstances.

Bibi Dong was unaware of Dai Chengfeng's thoughts. After hearing Dai Chengfeng's explanation, she pondered for a moment.

She was well aware of Zhu Hongxiu's strength. She was a newly promoted Title Douluo, but her martial soul was the Netherworld Cat. While not the strongest, it was definitely not weak either. She was more than capable of protecting Dai Chengfeng and Hu Liena as they obtained their fifth spirit ring.

Moreover, leaving Yue Guan and Gui Mei behind would indeed be better suited to handle any potential internal affairs of the Spirit Hall.

"Alright."

Bibi Dong nodded in agreement, "Then it's your decision, let Zhu Hongxiu accompany you."

Then she asked, "When do you plan to leave?"

After a moment's thought, Dai Chengfeng said, "Since we've made the decision, the sooner the better."

"Let's get ready, we'll leave first thing tomorrow morning, okay?"

"the day after tomorrow……"

Bibi Dong was slightly stunned when she heard this.

Although she was the one who suggested that Dai Chengfeng go and obtain the soul ring, she couldn't help but feel a pang of indescribable reluctance when she heard that they would be parting ways the day after tomorrow.

After all, acquiring a soul ring takes at least a month, both in and out.

She looked up again, gazing intently at her increasingly upright and confident disciple. His figure was clearly reflected in her deep purple eyes.

Stripped of her papal authority, her eyes held a complex mix of emotions: concern, expectation, and a hint of attachment that even she herself was unwilling to admit.

But soon, Bibi Dong shook her head and stopped worrying about it.

She spoke again, "Since you say the sooner the better, why not tomorrow?"

His tone carried a hint of curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Dai Chengfeng did not answer immediately, but instead smiled.

He then stepped forward, and under Bibi Dong's slightly surprised gaze, he bent down, slipped his arms under her knees and back, and with a little force, easily lifted the powerful Pope from the chair.

He then sat down on the large chair that symbolized papal authority, and placed the soft, fragrant body in his arms on his lap.

"Teacher, you ask me,"

Dai Chengfeng looked down at the stunningly beautiful face so close to his eyes. "Since you said the sooner the better, why not tomorrow?"

He paused, then naturally wrapped his arm around Bibi Dong's slender yet strong waist to prevent her from breaking free. At the same time, he leaned close to her ear and whispered in a warm voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Because... I always need to set aside a day specifically to spend with my teacher."

"Just to keep me company?"

Bibi Dong was slightly flustered by Dai Chengfeng's bold and straightforward words, especially the warm, moist breath on her ear, which instantly blushed her fair neck.
