Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 45 Restraint
……

"Ok?"

Just as Qian Daoliu was about to continue to investigate the situation, a fierce aura appeared outside the Hall of Worship, completely out of place in this Temple of Angels!

"Great Elder, I'll go and resolve the trouble I've caused," said Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Qian Daoliu shook his head. "I'll go."

Since returning from the City of Slaughter, Bibi Dong has possessed a fierce and eerie power, but he didn't pay attention to it at the time.

But in recent years, that feeling has become increasingly stronger.

That was neither the power of a martial spirit nor the power of a human; it was another divine power that seemed to be inherently opposed to the angelic divine power within him!
"You wait here." Qian Daoliu glanced at Xuan Ming, then walked out of the offering hall with Jin E.

Xuanming stopped courting death and sat obediently in place.

……

Outside the offering hall.

Bibi Dong stood nearly a hundred meters away from the gate, not taking another step closer.

The gate slowly opened, and Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo walked out.

“I thought the Grand Elder intended to pretend he didn’t see anything, like before,” Bibi Dong said sarcastically.

Qian Daoliu narrowed his eyes. "This is the Hall of Offerings, not your Papal Palace. Don't be too presumptuous."

“How dare I be disrespectful to the Grand Elder?” Bibi Dong said.

"However, I'd like to ask, did Elder Jin'e go to the Martial Soul Academy to attack a nine-year-old child and forcibly abduct a six-year-old child? Was that the Grand Elder's doing?"

“What if I said yes?” Qian Daoliu said.

“Then naturally I wouldn’t dare say anything more,” Bibi Dong said.

"It's just that there are too many people and too many eyes at the Martial Soul Academy. Some of them do things that are disrespectful to their elders. It's best for the Grand Elder to avoid doing such things to avoid damaging his reputation."

"You!" Golden Crocodile Douluo's face fell.

“Jin E did something wrong in this matter, and I will arrange some compensation for that child,” Qian Daoliu said.

“No need, it’s just a child, how could we trouble the great patron?” Bibi Dong said.

"Since you don't dare to trouble yourself, don't wander around here. Go back to your Papal Palace," said Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"Elder Jin'e is in such a hurry to get rid of me, could it be that he's doing something shady?" Bibi Dong asked.

"For example... coercing or bribing a six-year-old child?"

"Really? Both of you are highly respected seniors in the Soul Master world. Surely you wouldn't do something so despicable?"

"You!" Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes narrowed, and his level 98 aura poured out.

Bibi Dong slammed her papal scepter on the ground, blocking Jin E's imposing aura. "Elder Jin E, what's wrong with you? Did I hit the nail on the head?"

"Golden Crocodile." Qian Daoliu spoke calmly, stopping Golden Crocodile Douluo from taking further action.

“Bibi Dong, just say what you want to say. There’s no need for such veiled sarcasm.”

“The methods we used to bring people here were certainly not honorable, but yours were no less so.”

Whether Yue Guan went to Tian Dou City to kidnap people or snatched them right in front of Xue Qinghe, in a sense, what they did was almost the same.

"Give me back my person," Bibi Dong said.

“Impossible,” said Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"I've already told you before, that kid doesn't belong to you."

"Is that what the Grand Elder meant?" Bibi Dong looked at Qian Daoliu.

Qian Daoliu paused for a moment, then said, "This child is Xiaoxue's."

"So, the High Priest is determined to kill him?" Bibi Dong said.

Golden Crocodile Douluo narrowed his eyes. "You still want to make a move?"

“How could I dare to go against the Grand Elder? But, given that kid’s condition, I’m afraid he won’t live for more than a few years,” Bibi Dong said.

"Didn't the High Priest notice?"

Qian Daoliu frowned slightly. "What do you mean?"

“Why don’t you go and see for yourself first, Grand Master?” Bibi Dong said.

"Maybe I'm just exaggerating?"

"..."

The doors of the offering hall opened again, and Qian Daoliu walked straight to Xuanming, grabbed his shoulder, and began to examine him carefully.

The body is indeed somewhat strange, the mutation is a bit exaggerated, but how could it be in mortal danger...?

"Hmm?" Qian Daoliu's expression changed slightly.

"How could this be?"

Despite having already completed their awakening, the two martial souls are still devouring each other!
"..."

Time ticked by, and Qian Daoliu carefully examined the condition of his two martial souls, his expression gradually turning grim. Normally, twin martial souls can exist stably once the awakening process is complete.

However, there was a strange connection between the two martial souls of this kid, and that connection had been forcibly broken, causing the two martial souls to start devouring each other again.

If one can awaken twin martial souls, it means that the quality of the two martial souls is almost the same, neither can devour the other, and they can coexist peacefully.

However, weapon spirits with added spirit rings are much more powerful than before, and beast spirits that haven't started cultivating yet are no match for them...

"Are you going to die?" Xuanming asked.

Qian Daoliu's eyes twitched slightly. "It's you who's going to die."

"Then what's with that expression?" Xuanming asked.

"It looks as ugly as if it's about to die."

Qian Daoliu's expression froze for a moment. "Your mouth... really is like a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers."

"Even a rabbit will bite when cornered," Xuanming said.

“I can’t bite you, I’m just saying a few words. I haven’t used any foul language or insulted your ancestors. As a dying man, I think I’ve been very polite.”

"At least they are much more noble than you bunch of human traffickers who look respectable."

Qian Daoliu frowned. "Don't be too presumptuous."

"You're angry already? Weren't you quite eloquent when you were teaching that old man a lesson?" Xuanming said.

"What, now that it's your turn, you can't keep up the act anymore?"

"You!" Qian Daoliu took a deep breath.

This is the Temple of Angels. This kid is the one Xiaoxue wants. He'll endure it!

"To put on airs even with a dying man, no wonder you're a highly respected elder, the head of human traffickers," Xuanming said.

"admire!"

hum!
Qian Daoliu narrowed his eyes, and a terrifying gravitational pressure landed on Xuan Ming's head, knocking him unconscious.

"Grandpa!" Qian Renxue hurriedly ran out from the shadows.

"Don't worry, he's not dead yet," Qian Daoliu said.

"Is this what you mean by profound character?"

They seem quiet and reserved, but once they open their mouths, it's like they've poisoned it!
They were just taught a lesson by the Golden Crocodile, and now they're back again, even worse than before!

What kind of profound character is this?
“Grandpa, he was kidnapped by the Spirit Hall’s patrolling deacons and sold to human traffickers because of his body mutation right after he awakened his martial soul. He barely escaped, but then he encountered Dugu Bo, who was being chased by Yue Guan and his group. After arriving in Heaven Dou City, he was almost beaten to death by Barak’s prince as a slave. He finally had two days of peace and obtained his first spirit ring, but then he was kidnapped by Yue Guan in the middle of the night.” Qian Renxue’s expression was somewhat unnatural.

"And judging from what you just said, it seems that Grandpa Jin'e forcibly brought him back from the Martial Soul Academy."

"From a lowly patrolling deacon to an elder or revered elder, they've all been repeatedly lured away by the Spirit Hall..."

"Even the most patient person couldn't withstand this kind of torment, right?"

"..."

Qian Daoliu fell silent.

No wonder this kid was holding back his anger from the very beginning.

If that's the case... this kid is indeed quite restrained.

“Xiaoxue, this child’s situation is a bit complicated,” Qian Daoliu said.

You might be disappointed.

Qian Renxue was taken aback. "What's wrong?"

“His martial spirit is damaged, which is troublesome. I have no clue how to solve it,” Qian Daoliu said.

"Damaged?" Qian Renxue looked puzzled.

"Isn't he able to cultivate normally?"

If a martial soul is damaged, a low-level soul master cannot cultivate normally and must have it repaired.

“It just looks normal,” Qian Daoliu said.

"There is a problem with the connection between his two martial souls. It should have happened during the awakening of the martial souls. If a high-level soul master is present and can help to clear the blockage with a special guidance ritual, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"However, it seems that he forcibly broke through that part of the adhesion, causing the two martial souls to clash again."

“His two martial souls are not completely independent and are devouring each other. If this continues, it would be better if he stopped cultivating, and he could live a few more years. But if he continues to cultivate at this rate and continues to add soul rings to his weapon martial souls…”

"I don't know how much longer he has to live."

He had never seen anything like this before and had no clue what to do.

The mutual devouring of martial souls should have been completed before the martial soul awakens. The weaker martial soul will become the nourishment for the stronger one. Sometimes, this mutual devouring can even cause martial soul mutation.

But this child's two martial spirits are a bit too ferocious!

Even if they cannot devour each other, they cannot tolerate the existence of the other!
