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

Chapter 55 Win people’s hearts
……

Several more days passed, and Xuanming remained in the Papal Palace, rapidly recovering his damaged martial soul with the medicinal soup prepared by Bibi Dong.

Damage to one's spirit is a very troublesome matter. Without top-tier treasures as medicine to assist in recovery, although it will recover slowly, it will leave many dangerous aftereffects, and the process will be very slow, especially for low-level spirit masters. If it is delayed, ten or more years will pass.

This process requires guidance from high-level Soul Masters, somewhat like rehabilitation and correction after surgery.

"how do you feel?"

On the training field, Xuanming is trying to use two martial souls at the same time.

Xuanming stopped and withdrew his domain. "It doesn't hurt anymore, but..."

"I feel my soul power is a bit chaotic?" Bibi Dong said.

"Mm." Xuanming nodded.

“That’s normal. Activating a martial soul means fusing soul power with the martial soul. Different martial souls produce different energies. If you use two martial souls at the same time, two different energies will be circulating in your body simultaneously, and these different energies will conflict with each other,” Bibi Dong said.

"The fact that you can use two martial souls at the same time means that the energy properties of your two martial souls are similar."

"As for your feeling of confusion, it's because your mental strength is too low and your control over your own soul power is too weak."

"come over."

Xuanming was taken aback. "What are you doing?"

“Come here when I tell you to,” Bibi Dong said.

"Oh." Xuanming withdrew his blood spear and walked over.

"Close your eyes and concentrate." Bibi Dong placed her hand on Xuanming's head.

"I'll give you something."

As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely powerful spiritual force surged into Xuanming's mind, carrying with it a complex message.

"What...is this?" Xuanming opened his eyes, his mind a little confused.

"This is a method I figured out to train and improve my control over my twin martial souls, as well as a method to simultaneously control two kinds of soul power without causing them to collide or become chaotic," Bibi Dong said.

"Both of my martial souls are beast martial souls, so they cannot be used at the same time. However, my control over my own soul power is strong enough that I can directly switch between martial soul possession and martial soul true body without having to recall them first and then release the other one."

"Your two martial souls are not very interfering, and you have two thoughts, so you can multitask. If you train using this method, you should be able to safely control both martial souls at the same time in a few years."

"..."

"What's wrong?" Bibi Dong patted Xuanming's head.

"Why?" Xuanming asked.

"Why what?" Bibi Dong asked.

"Why...why did you help me?" Xuanming asked.

"Why should I help you..." Bibi Dong thought for a moment.

"There are many reasons, but the first and most direct reason is that I was threatened."

Qian Renxue used Hu Liena to threaten her. Although the girl was probably just saying it out of anger, and Qian Daoliu wouldn't really lower himself to lay a hand on a child, Jin E, that shameless old bastard, might not be so bold!

Although he is currently the most senior person in the Spirit Hall, Golden Crocodile Douluo's character is really not flattering. To put it bluntly, he is no better than Dugu Bo.

In other matters, this old man might consider the reputation of the Spirit Hall and restrain himself, but when it comes to the Six-Winged Angel lineage and Qian Renxue, he doesn't care about saving face at all.

Not to mention that Golden Crocodile and she were already at odds. If this matter really goes wrong, the old man is very likely to resort to underhanded tactics!

"Anything else?" Xuanming asked.

"Anything else?" Bibi Dong half-squatted down and pinched Xuanming's cheek.

"you guess?"

Xuanming frowned slightly. "Sympathy?"

“A little, but not much,” Bibi Dong said.

Xuanming's background was indeed tragic, and she did feel a little sorry for him, but that was all.

There are plenty of pitiful people in this world, and some are even worse off than Xuanming. She doesn't have that much sympathy. "My talent?" Xuanming asked.

Bibi Dong couldn't help but laugh, "What does your talent have to do with me?"

"Besides, do you really think my talent is weak?"

She broke all the cultivation records in the history of the Spirit Hall, becoming the first person to successfully cultivate twin martial souls, and the youngest Title Douluo on the Douluo Continent. Soon, she will become the youngest Level 99 Peerless Douluo, and will officially activate that thing, potentially reaching a realm that even Qian Daoliu cannot reach.

No matter how strong Xuanming's talent is, how much stronger can it be than hers?
"Why is that?" Xuanming asked.

“Because of you,” Bibi Dong said.

"Because of you as a person, because you interest me, I'm willing."

Repairing the damaged martial soul wasn't something she necessarily had to accomplish. After all, it was very difficult, even Qian Daoliu couldn't do it. She could simply try and then say that she didn't have the ability, or that Xuanming couldn't bear that kind of pain.

She initially only intended to give it a try, thinking that even if she failed, it wouldn't have much of an impact on her.

After all, if a patient can't bear the treatment process and chooses to give up, can they blame the doctor?
To put it bluntly, the reason she went to such great lengths was simply because Xuanming himself hadn't given up.

You could say she was moved, or you could say she was intrigued.

What good is talent if a child doesn't have the will to succeed?

Whether she's crippled or dead, it's none of her business.

"And now?" Xuanming asked.

"These things in my head."

"To win people's hearts," Bibi Dong said.

"You're leaving in a few days, so I should hurry up and give you something in return so you'll remember my kindness."

“Aren’t you… being too blunt?” Xuanming said.

"Otherwise what?" Bibi Dong retorted.

"What else can I say? I can't exactly treat you like a three-year-old, can I?"

She knew Xuanming's personality; she could only take it slow and gradual, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water. It was impossible to achieve everything in one step.

Because of his past experiences, this child's suspicions are difficult to dispel, or rather, impossible to dispel at all.

But she doesn't have time to take it slow now; Qian Daoliu and the others won't give her that chance.

Moreover, she didn't think that after this incident, Xuanming would truly believe her.

Even if he truly believes it now, once he arrives in Tiandou City and spends a long time with Qian Renxue, their constant interaction and subtle influence will inevitably rekindle his suspicions about her.

Therefore, she didn't expect to bring Xuanming to her side right now. All she could do was make things more difficult for Qian Renxue and at most prevent Xuanming from actually siding with Qian Renxue.

As for more, we'll have to wait and see.

"Alright, you can continue your cultivation. I have other things to do."

Bibi Dong patted Xuanming on the head, stood up, and disappeared from the training ground.

Xuanming remained silent. Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at a certain place in the distance. Three heads stared in that direction for a while, as if they saw something, yet also as if they saw nothing at all.

Frowning, Xuanming turned back to his cultivation.

"..."

"He found us?"

High up, Golden Crocodile Douluo, who felt as if he had made eye contact with Xuanming, looked somewhat uneasy.

“He doesn’t know we’re here; he probably just senses that someone is watching him,” Qian Daoliu said.

"However, this intuition for danger is a bit of an exaggeration."

Some special beast spirits do indeed possess a powerful sense of danger, or rather, a premonition or intuition about danger.

However, this was the first time he had encountered someone so perceptive...
