The Martial Soul White Tiger Ability Lock is unparalleled in the world.

Chapter 28: Skilled at charming others, yet charmed in return.

Let's go back thirty seconds.

"Um... when you meet the teacher later, be more humble."

"The teacher doesn't usually like to talk to men, so if you're not careful, she might become dissatisfied with you," Hu Liena whispered a reminder.

A strange light flashed in Dai Yunxuan's eyes as he glanced at Hu Liena and said, "Thank you for the reminder."

"You're welcome." Hu Liena smiled gently, raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, revealing her pink cheeks.

……

The scene changes.

Inside the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong shed her earlier languidness, her expression subtly becoming solemn, giving off an aura of great authority.

“Teacher, I’ve brought the person here,” Hu Liena said to Bibi Dong. She didn’t leave, but took two steps forward and came to Bibi Dong’s side.

Bibi Dong grasped the two-meter-long, gleaming scepter beside her, lowered her long, slender legs that had been crossed, and stood up to walk towards Dai Yunxuan.

"I wonder what business Your Holiness the Pope has summoned me for?" Dai Yunxuan raised his eyes to meet Bibi Dong's emotionless purple eyes.

"You dare call yourself 'King' in front of me?" Bibi Dong stopped less than two meters away from Dai Yunxuan, her phoenix eyes narrowed, and a terrifying pressure emanated from her as she attacked Dai Yunxuan.

Hu Liena thought to herself that things were going badly and felt very helpless: the girl wouldn't listen to advice and she couldn't be led astray.

"Your Holiness the Pope has probably forgotten that I am not a member of the Spirit Hall." Dai Yunxuan frowned, his posture imposing and unmoving.

Bibi Dong was surprised, a cold and serious look flashed in her beautiful eyes, and the pressure she exerted on Dai Yunxuan became more and more terrifying: she was indeed an extraordinary prodigy. At such a young age, she had such terrifying strength. If she were on the same starting line as her, she would probably be stronger than him!
“Dai Yunxuan, your Star Luo Empire has launched several large-scale military campaigns against the Heaven Dou Empire in recent years. Is this an attempt to start a full-scale war with the Heaven Dou Empire and plunge the continent into the flames of war?!” Bibi Dong said coldly, her expression indifferent.

"The war between Xingluo and Tiandou has a long history, and I have decided to put a final stop to the war between the two great empires," Dai Yunxuan said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"What arrogance!" Bibi Dong said with a disdainful look, but in her heart she was surprised by Dai Yunxuan's determination: This young man has such courage at such a young age. It's a pity he is not a disciple of my Spirit Hall, otherwise he would be a perfect match for Nana!
Seeing that Dai Yunxuan's expression hadn't changed at all after so long, Bibi Dong immediately withdrew her oppressive aura and stopped testing Dai Yunxuan.

At the same time, she also noticed the familiar tension and worry on Hu Liena's face.

She had exhibited similar behavior in her youth, but that behavior has been buried deep within her ever since.

“Dai Yunxuan, the continent is now in an unprecedented period of peace under the protection of the Spirit Hall. I do not wish to see the Star Luo Empire send troops against the Heaven Dou Empire again, causing turmoil on the continent!” Bibi Dong said solemnly.

Even if it causes turmoil, even if it unifies the continent, she should come in person!
Who else could have accomplished such a feat but her?

Little Dai Yunxuan dares to steal her way!

“I just made an agreement with Miss Qian of the Spirit Hall last month. Doesn’t His Holiness the Pope know about this?” Dai Yunxuan asked calmly.

He was asking a question he already knew the answer to, and was deliberately trying to sow discord between Bibi Dong and Bibi Dong.

The relationship between Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue was extremely bad; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as a "life-or-death struggle."

Of course, it was a one-sided life-or-death struggle between Bibi Dong and Bibi Dong.

Just as Dai Yunxuan had thought, Bibi Dong was extremely sensitive to the word "thousand".

Bibi Dong's expression grew even colder.

Hu Liena felt a sense of doubt.

In her memory, there were no women with the surname Qian in the Spirit Hall.

All she knew was that the previous Pope of the Spirit Hall was surnamed Qian, but he was killed by the Clear Sky Douluo during a battle for a spirit beast. 'Could this Miss Qian be a descendant of the previous Pope?'

That's the only possibility.

'Otherwise, how could he have represented the Spirit Hall to negotiate with Dai Yunxuan, bypassing even his teacher?'

'It seems the Spirit Hall is hiding many things I don't know.'

Just as Hu Liena was deep in thought.

Bibi Dong then replied to Dai Yunxuan: "I am aware of your agreement, but this is an agreement between you and me, and it has nothing to do with anyone else!"

"Do you understand?"

Bibi Dong's tone was somewhat cold, and it was unclear who she was referring to.

"Of course, I am not an unreasonable person. If the Heaven Dou Empire takes the initiative to send troops against Star Luo, I will also go and warn Heaven Dou!"

Dai Yunxuan felt disdain.

Did the Heavenly Dou Empire initiate an attack on the Star Luo Empire?
That would probably only happen when Qian Renxue has complete control and leads the Spirit Hall army.

The Heavenly Dou Empire alone does not yet possess that capability.

However, with Jialing Pass already in their hands, the decision of whether to wage war rests with them.

Secondly, within the Star Luo Empire, there are two major kingdoms and countless nobles that have been infiltrated by the Spirit Hall, and these issues need to be addressed.

These people all defected to the Spirit Hall after the Spirit Hall implemented the Soul Hunting Plan.

Together with several kingdoms and duchies of the Heaven Dou Empire, they formed the Martial Soul Empire.

Solving these problems is also a considerable undertaking.

"Dai Yunxuan, people call you the God of War, but you are not a true god after all!"

"It's best to be humble in life; being too rigid leads to breaking!"

"You are a genius, but a genius who doesn't grow up is just a genius!"

She herself has experienced this firsthand.

If she had shed the title of genius and transformed into a true powerhouse in her youth, she wouldn't have encountered that kind of tragedy.

Only the strong can control their own destiny, not geniuses!
“Your Holiness is right, and I will keep that in mind,” Dai Yunxuan said. “If Your Holiness has nothing else to say, then I will not disturb you any longer.”

“Actually, what’s the point of ruling the continent if you don’t have real strength?” Bibi Dong stared at Dai Yunxuan and said, “Do you know why the Spirit Hall is a holy land in the hearts of Spirit Masters? It’s because only here in the Spirit Hall can Spirit Masters receive the most proper training.”

"I have long heard of the Golden Generation's reputation and am ready to see for myself." Dai Yunxuan looked directly into Hu Liena's beautiful eyes and said calmly, "Your Holiness the Pope's disciple, your charm is indeed unprecedented. You can be said to be the best among your peers. When we meet, please do your best."

"I will!" Hu Liena's lips curled up slightly, her cheeks flushed slightly, and a strange look appeared in her beautiful eyes. She nodded very seriously.

But in Bibi Dong's view...

Hu Liena, who is naturally alluring and possesses extremely high mental talent, seems to be bewitched by Dai Yunxuan at this moment.
