Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 101 Sows the Seeds of Doubt for Bibi Dong

Listening to Bibi Dong and Shui Lanxin's conversation, Ye Liangchen felt something was wrong. This giant spider wanted to take him as a disciple, which meant she must have known through the Rakshasa Divine Sense that his martial soul was a god-level martial soul. It was too dangerous. If she lost control, he might become the second Qian Xunji.

"Xiao Chen, what is your second martial soul?"

Bibi Dong called out to Ye Liangchen, glanced at the little guy who was now far away, and smiled bitterly to herself. It was all the fault of the Rakshasa Divine Thought, which had stirred up her evil thoughts and scared him away.

"Your Holiness, my second martial soul is the Chun Jun Sword."

Ye Liangchen knew that this woman possessed the Rakshasa Divine Sense and could sense his twin martial souls, so he was not surprised and no longer concealed it.

"I already told you to call me Aunt Dong, not Your Holiness the Pope. I'm friends with your parents, so there's no need to be so formal."

Bibi Dong tried her best to be sincere and build a closer relationship with the little guy.

"Alright, Aunt Dong."

Ye Liangchen was speechless. All these old ladies were eyeing him. Ye Suling wanted to send her daughter away, Liu Erlong wanted to pull him into the academy, and Tang Yuehua seemed to have her eye on his musical talent. But none of them were dangerous. It was Bibi Dong who was eyeing him, and his life was in danger at any time.

Tired!

"Clang clang..."

At Ye Liangchen's summons, an ancient and unparalleled divine sword appeared in his right hand.

"It's actually a sword spirit?" Ling Yuan was shocked when she saw Ye Liangchen's sword spirit.

"Ye Feng's martial soul is also a sword, and Liu Ruyan's martial soul is her own human form. They are both super geniuses with innate full soul power. It seems that the little guy inherited their couple's martial souls, but a benign mutation has occurred."

Bibi Dong quietly looked at Ye Liangchen's sword spirit, recalling the extraordinary talents of that divine couple. If they hadn't died, they would have already become Title Douluo. Thinking of this, Bibi Dong was filled with emotion.

"Your Holiness, that's what we thought too," the Shui sisters chimed in from the side.

"Ye Feng and Liu Ruyan's martial souls are very powerful, both possessing innate full soul power. Their talents have been completely inherited by Xiao Chen, and have even become stronger. What a little guy, truly favored by heaven!"

"Xiao Chen, I want to take you as my disciple. Come back to the Spirit Hall with me! I will make you the Holy Son, gather all the resources of the Spirit Hall, and personally train you to become a Title Douluo. At that time, you will be the next Pope."

"You have twin martial souls, and so do I. Only by cultivating with me can you safely reach the Title Douluo level."

Bibi Dong immediately offered her biggest reward, hoping to bring the little guy to her side.

Holy crap! Bibi Dong actually wants to make me her Holy Son?

At this moment, Ye Liangchen really wanted to say: Auntie! I don't want to work hard anymore.

However, he was a person who had transcended base desires and could not give in. He also had a group of beautiful women by his side and could not abandon them to go to the Spirit Hall alone.

Moreover, if I go to the Spirit Hall, it will attract Qian Daoliu and his gang, which will be a huge problem.

"Aunt Dong, I can't become your apprentice. If Sister Na finds out, she'll break my legs, and she might even kill you. I can't bring harm to you."

"As for the cultivation method of twin martial souls, Sister Na has already told me that as long as you use soul bones to enhance your physical qualities and divine power to harmonize them, cultivating to the title of Douluo is child's play."

Ye Liangchen racked his brains and decided to refuse Bibi Dong in a tactful way to see how she would respond.

"Xiao Chen, you actually knew how to cultivate twin martial souls, why didn't you tell us?"

Shui Lanxin and her sister reached out and rubbed Ye Liangchen's head. They had been worried about the little guy's twin martial soul cultivation for years, but it turned out he already knew.

"Aunt Lan, Aunt Yue, I didn't think it was anything important, so I didn't tell you."

Ye Liangchen thought to himself, "As a transmigrator, if I don't know how to cultivate twin martial souls, then what's the point of transmigrating at all!"

When Bibi Dong heard Ye Liangchen say this, it was as if an explosion had occurred in her mind.

"Boom..."

Her head was buzzing again. Bibi Dong never expected that the method for cultivating twin martial souls, which she had obtained through a near-death experience, was already available to someone else.

"Xiao Chen, who is this Sister Na you mentioned? What does she look like?" Bibi Dong asked curiously.

"She's very beautiful, almost like my goddess martial soul. She doesn't seem like an ordinary person. As for her true identity, she didn't tell me. She told me that I would know when the time is right."

Ye Liangchen made up an excuse to appease Bibi Dong, trying his best to make the power behind him seem as mysterious as possible.

"Hehehehe...! Bibi Dong, stop making a fuss. As someone chosen by the Goddess of Life, this little guy has already been taken care of. The Sister Na he's talking about is probably the protector arranged by the Goddess of Life. Maybe she's watching us from somewhere right now!"

"You should focus on passing the Rakshasa God's test! Becoming a god is the most important thing for you."

At this moment, Rakshasa's divine sense rang in Bibi Dong's mind again, reminding her not to mess around anymore, otherwise she would anger the God of Destruction and her true self would definitely be annihilated.

"Heh...! Come to think of it, that makes sense. It seems I've run out of leverage to win the little guy over. Why is it so difficult to get him to work for me?"

Bibi Dong sighed inwardly, feeling utterly exhausted. Such a prodigious talent, yet she couldn't have him.

With a powerful figure like Shui Lanxin protecting him, it's impossible for ordinary people to mess with him, let alone Sister Na behind him.

As expected, the little guy will definitely grow up and stand at the pinnacle of this world. He is Liu Ruyan's child and even calls her "Auntie." Even if she can't have him, she can't bear to destroy him.

"Xiao Chen, if Aunt Dong needs your help in the future, will you help me?"

Bibi Dong thought for a moment. Although she couldn't win the little guy over herself, she could use her status as an elder to ask him for help!

"Aunt Dong, do you have some kind of enemy?" Ye Liangchen asked, feigning curiosity.

"Yes, I have a very powerful enemy, and I can't beat him right now."

Bibi Dong now wants to completely control the Spirit Hall and destroy the Angel Spirit, but Qian Daoliu is too powerful and she can't do anything about it. So she wants to wait for the little guy to become stronger so that he can help her.

"If even you can't beat them, then they must be very powerful. I'm just a lowly Soul Master right now, so there's even less I can do anything. Unless I get stronger, with my weak arms and legs, I'll just die if I go up there."

Ye Liangchen knew that Bibi Dong's goal was to get rid of Qian Daoliu and then completely control the Spirit Hall.

"Not now, Auntie will help you when you get stronger." Bibi Dong was very happy to see that the little guy had agreed.

"Aunt Dong, how big is your enemy? It will take at least twenty or thirty years for me to become a Title Douluo. Won't your enemy be unable to hold on by then? In that case, you won't even need to lift a finger, and he'll already be dead."

Ye Liangchen said this on purpose to appease Bibi Dong. By the time he became a Title Douluo, that old man Qian Daoliu would probably have already sacrificed himself to Qian Renxue, so whether he fought or not would be irrelevant.

"Pfft...! Xiao Chen, you dare to say you've become a Title Douluo after only twenty or thirty years? You've got ambition."

"However, my enemy is a Limit Douluo, who is already over 100 years old and can live for many more years. I'm afraid I won't be able to outlive him. Let me tell you, after becoming a Title Douluo, living past one or two hundred years old is no problem. With each level you increase, you can live for about a hundred more years..."

Bibi Dong was amused by Ye Liangchen's comment about dying, so she patiently explained the lifespan of a Title Douluo to him.

"Aunt Dong, so your enemy actually lived to be over 100 years old. He really is an immortal old man."

"Heh...! Xiao Chen is right, he's just an old geezer."

"Aunt Dong, you can do it like this..."

"Ah! Xiao Chen, this works too?... "

"Even if I can't kill them, I can still annoy them."

"That makes sense. I'll try it when I have the chance."

Ye Liangchen said some wildly imaginative things, which made Bibi Dong very happy, and she laughed from time to time.

"I've never seen the Pope smile in all these years, but today he was actually made to laugh by Xiao Chen."

"Xiao Chen is really bold, daring to talk to the Pope like that."

Ling Yuan, Shui Lanxin, and the others watched from the sidelines as the old man and the young man talked like two old friends, which was simply unbelievable.

Seeing Bibi Dong amused by some of his wildly imaginative topics, Ye Liangchen understood why she had been fooled by Yu Xiaogang back then; she was simply a naive and innocent girl.

However, considering that this woman has treated me quite well, I should find a way to remove her Rakshasa divine sense and give her a good ending, otherwise it would be a great pity.

Hmm! There is a method we can try; perhaps Rakshasa will choose a new candidate for the divine test.

Hehehehe…! This method will definitely work, and there might even be unexpected gains.

Bibi Dong chatted with Ye Liangchen for a while, and suddenly remembered that the little guy had said before that he had not yet undergone the divine test, but his soul ring combination was beyond the theory, which made her very curious.

"Xiao Chen, you said you didn't undergo the divine trial, so why were you able to absorb a spirit ring that exceeded the theoretical lifespan?"

"You should know that the first spirit ring's lifespan is only 423 years, and the second spirit ring's lifespan is only around 700 years. But your first spirit ring is yellow with purple hues, and it's already close to a thousand years old."

Bibi Dong asked curiously, as if the theory of limits was completely unsuitable for this little guy.

"Aunt Dong! I've read a lot of books and I think that the so-called Soul Master Limit Theory is only for ordinary geniuses and not suitable for super geniuses."

"I accidentally discovered that the stronger the martial soul level, the more likely it is to absorb a higher-age soul ring, but of course, you also need to strengthen your physical body first. If it is a god-level martial soul, as long as you strengthen your physical body, you may be able to absorb a thousand-year soul ring for the first time. I was too impatient at the time and only absorbed a 999-year soul ring. If I had trained for a while longer, absorbing a thousand-year soul ring would not have been a problem."

"Ordinary genius Soul Masters can also absorb Soul Rings beyond their level if they strengthen their physical body, but they can't cross too many age limits. I have a friend who listened to my advice and absorbed a Soul Ring with a 2000-year age limit for his third Soul Ring. Of course, this requires ten or even a hundred times more effort, because you only reap what you sow."

Ye Liangchen offered his opinion, but he dared not say too much about ordinary soul masters, only that they should work hard to train their bodies.

"Hmm! You're right."

Bibi Dong pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered her annoying daughter, who possessed a god-level angelic martial soul but still used the standard soul rings. In that case, wasn't it a waste?

"Shui Lanxin, how does Xiao Chen know so much?" Bibi Dong turned her head and asked Shui Lanxin.

"Your Holiness, Xiao Chen learned all the knowledge taught in our academy in just a few months. He figured it all out himself by reading a lot of books and figuring it out on his own. I didn't teach him anything."

Shui Lanxin spread her hands, indicating that her son had been clever since childhood and was a prodigy.

"Xiao Chen, let me tell you, there was once a person who was also a master of theory. He proposed the ten core competencies of martial spirits."

"Given time, you too will become a true master of theory."

Looking at the intelligent Ye Liangchen, Bibi Dong thought of an old friend who liked to study theories, but unfortunately that person was not capable enough.

"Aunt Dong! The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls? What are those?"

When Ye Liangchen heard Bibi Dong mention that plagiarism master, it seemed that she still had feelings for that person, so he decided to expose that master's ugliness.

"It was proposed by someone whose strength was only level 29. People call him the Invincible Theory Master."

"Aunt Dong, has the other party trained any outstanding apprentices?"

"I don't think I've ever heard of it."

"Only level 29 in soul power, and he hasn't even taught any powerful disciples, yet he dares to call himself an invincible theoretical master. Aunt Dong, I feel like he's just talking nonsense."

"Oh! Xiao Chen, why would you say that?"

"Aunt Dong, think about it. A level 29 Great Soul Master who hasn't taught any powerful disciples can't prove his theories. Since they haven't been proven, yet he keeps saying his theories are invincible, he's just bragging, showing off, and fooling people. The world is vast and full of wonders. No one dares to claim they're invincible because there are always people better than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding."

Upon seeing Bibi Dong claiming to be an invincible theoretical master, Ye Liangchen immediately contradicted her, planting a seed of doubt in her mind.

At this moment, Flame Eagle Douluo was extremely shocked. She knew that the invincible master was named Yu Xiaogang, a conman who swindled people out of food and drink, and was also the Pope's lover when he was young. Now, this little guy had exposed his true colors in front of the Pope.

But this is for the best. Perhaps hearing a child say that the person was a fraud will give the Pope a clearer understanding.

When the Shui Lanxin sisters were young, they met Bibi Dong and knew that she had once liked a man named Yu Xiaogang. Back then, Liu Ruyan had warned Bibi Dong that he might be a fraud.

The little guy's words about Bibi Dong's first love have made the two sisters very nervous.

"Xiao Chen, why are you so sure the other person is bragging?"

Bibi Dong recalled what Liu Ruyan had said. Now, her son had judged the other party to be a fraud based solely on the title of "Invincible Theory Master." They were truly mother and son! Their tone of voice was almost identical.

"Aunt Dong, could you tell me what his ten core competitive theories are? Let's analyze them."

"His ten theories of competition include...."

"Aunt Dong, after hearing what you've said, I can conclude that person is a fraud. Some of his basic theories on Soul Masters were definitely copied directly from the Spirit Hall, with a tiny bit of his own added, and he calls it his own theory. And his claim that plant-based Soul Masters can absorb animal Soul Beast Soul Rings—isn't that common sense? Our Soul Master predecessors proved that long ago..."

When Ye Liangchen pointed out a bunch of contradictions in the ten core theories, Bibi Dong's mind went blank.

"Hehehe...! I see!"

Bibi Dong gave a bitter smile. Even a child could see so many problems, and she even admired his theories. She was truly blind and had no discernment.

After Ye Liangchen said that, that person's image in Bibi Dong's mind collapsed. Recalling her own naivety back then, she felt extremely disgusted.
