Douluo Continent: The True Body and Blood Soul, Starting from Blacksmithing

Bibi Dong's eyelids twitched as she listened to the string of reasons without repetition. Good heavens, she didn't even dare to believe what this kid was saying.

"You are indeed loyal to the Spirit Hall."

Bibi Dong commented with a forced smile.

Lin Yu bowed: "Three months ago, if it weren't for the Spirit Hall's enforcement team's rescue, I'm afraid I would have turned into a handful of dust by now. I am loyal to the Spirit Hall."

"Loyalty is all that matters." Bibi Dong nodded slightly, but her next words caused the air to freeze.

"However, according to the elders of the Spirit Hall, your 'Blood Soul' can only be considered a mid-to-low grade among all spirits. Although your cultivation speed is fast, its strength is limited. You won't have much of a chance against other spirit masters of the same level."

Lin Yu's expression didn't change much. He dared to sign up because he could control Hu Liena.

Now that Hu Liena is no longer a saint, this selection of the holy son has little to do with her.

"The Pope's lesson is correct. I am very aware of the limitations of my martial spirit. However, my original intention in registering for the selection of the Holy Son and Holy Daughter was not to win a ranking, but only to hope to meet the current Pope."

Lin Yu's words carried a hint of nonchalance and the relief of having fulfilled her wish.

"Having seen the Pope's true face and expressed my loyalty to the Spirit Hall, I have no regrets. I will not waste Your Holiness's precious time any longer and will take my leave now."

Lin Yu clasped his hands in a fist salute and retreated quickly, clearly not wanting to linger there.

Lin Yu's decisiveness surprised Bibi Dong: Is this right? She only mentioned that his martial soul quality was not high, and he's already preparing to run away?

Where is the loyalty you speak of?!

Seeing that Lin Yu wasn't just pretending to attract her attention, but had actually opened the door and leaned half her body out, Bibi Dong decisively unleashed a powerful pressure, stopping the other's figure.

"You have strong execution skills," Bibi Dong commented simply.

At the same time, she manipulated her soul power to pull Lin Yu back and closed the door.

Seemingly feeling that she shouldn't be too forceful, Bibi Dong encouraged him in a slightly gentler tone.

"Someone once said that there are no useless martial spirits, only useless soul masters. Don't give up on yourself just because your martial spirit is not good."

Hearing these words directly from Bibi Dong's mouth, Lin Yu found it hard not to ask a question.

"Your Holiness, although it may be presumptuous, I would like to ask, what is the power of the person who uttered these words?"

Lin Yu's words seemed to evoke some fond memories for Bibi Dong, and her expression softened slightly, which was unusual for her.

"The person who said this had an innate soul power level of 0.5, but he raised his level to 29 through amazing willpower."

Seeing that Bibi Dong was starting to get love-struck, Lin Yu didn't interrupt her. After she calmed down, Lin Yu asked her a question.

"Your Holiness, may I ask what kind of martial spirit the person who uttered those words possesses?"

Bibi Dong, who had just calmed down, was reminded of her memories again and fell into deep thought once more.

"That person's martial soul is a mutated Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, and its name is Luo Sanpao..."

Before Bibi Dong could speak again, a soft murmur echoed in the empty hall.

"Martial spirits are definitely not useless..."

Bibi Dong stared at Lin Yu with cold eyes: This kid seems quite honest, but she always felt that he wanted to provoke her!

Realizing that Bibi Dong was more sensitive than she had thought, Lin Yu quickly coughed lightly and changed the subject.

"Thank you for your reminder, Your Holiness. I will never slack off in my cultivation because of my poor martial soul quality. With sufficient resources, I am confident that my cultivation speed will not lag behind Hu Liena, who has a level nine innate soul power. I dare not waste Your Holiness's time and will take my leave now."

As he said this, Lin Yu clasped his hands in a fist salute and stepped back.

However, this time, as soon as it took two steps back, a powerful pressure locked onto it, rendering it unable to move an inch.

Lin Yu looked up in confusion, not understanding what Bibi Dong wanted to do by controlling him twice.

"You must know that the former Pope Qian Xunji was killed by Tang Hao, a disciple of the Haotian Sect, one of the three upper sects."

Bibi Dong stopped keeping them in suspense and revealed the cause of Qian Xunji's death, wanting to see Lin Yu's reaction.

Upon hearing Bibi Dong mention the former Pope, Lin Yu naturally had to demonstrate his loyalty: "Your Holiness, I will remember this grudge. I will make the Haotian Sect and Tang Hao pay for their crimes in blood sooner or later."

Bibi Dong nodded in agreement with Lin Yu's promise, and then mentioned the Heaven Dou Empire.

"The Clear Sky Sect has retreated to the mountains under pressure from the Spirit Hall, so it probably won't cause any trouble. But there are a few foolish forces under the Clear Sky Sect who, instead of distancing themselves from the sect at this time, dare to seek protection from the Heaven Dou Empire."

"It's one thing for those forces to dare go to the Heavenly Dou Empire, but for those nobles there to actually dare to keep those people here. Lin Yu, what do you think the Heavenly Dou Empire is planning with this action?"

Bibi Dong, who posed the question, looked at Lin Yu with great interest. If this guy was smart enough, that would be perfect.

If you're not smart enough, then you can only...

"The Heaven Dou Empire's actions are a blatant provocation against the authority of my Spirit Hall. As a member of the Spirit Hall, I can only watch helplessly as the Heaven Dou Empire acts so arrogantly. I... am truly powerless to do anything about it."

Lin Yu became more and more excited as she spoke, and by the end she was even stammering.

Bibi Dong was satisfied with Lin Yu's performance, as he understood her meaning, but his acting skills... seemed to be not very good.

However, she didn't really want Lin Yu to do anything; his acting skills were just a little lacking.

"Lin Yu, there is now an opportunity for you to do something for the Spirit Hall, but it may be a bit difficult for you. I wonder if you are willing."

Lin Yu knelt down on one knee and clasped his hands in a deep fist salute.

"Your Holiness, please speak. I will do my utmost for the Spirit Hall, whatever it may be."

Bibi Dong no longer hid anything and revealed her plan.

"Now that the Haotian Sect has collapsed, many forces have flocked to Tiandou City, making it very easy to integrate into Tiandou City at this stage."

"I hope you can take this opportunity to infiltrate Heaven Dou City, pass on intelligence about Heaven Dou City, and do something for the Spirit Hall at the same time."

Upon hearing that it was an infiltration mission, Lin Yu hesitated.

Seeing Lin Yu's expression, Bibi Dong frowned: "You little brat, what happened to your loyalty?!"

Sensing Bibi Dong's displeasure, Lin Yu quickly cleared her throat.

"Your Holiness, it's not that I'm unwilling to infiltrate Heaven Dou City and serve the Spirit Hall, but mainly because I'm not good at interpersonal communication, and I'm afraid that infiltrating Heaven Dou City wouldn't be able to provide the Spirit Hall with any useful intelligence."

It wasn't that Lin Yu was deliberately avoiding it, because until now, he had been completely immersed in cultivation.

"Ahem, Your Holiness, rather than going to Heaven Dou City to infiltrate, I think staying in the Spirit Hall and improving my cultivation is what I should do."

Bibi Dong didn't care about any of that; she directly issued an ultimatum.

"If we send someone too clever to go undercover, it would probably arouse suspicion. A cultivation fanatic like you is more likely to make people lower their guard."

"As for your cultivation speed, don't worry about falling behind. Before you go to the Heaven Dou infiltrate, you can go to the Spirit Hall's treasury to choose a suitable soul bone. With a soul bone to enhance your strength, your cultivation speed won't fall too much behind."

"Of course, considering your safety, a senior member of the Spirit Hall will visit you in Tian Dou City every month to check on your situation. If you encounter any trouble during your undercover work, you can also report back through that senior member."
