From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 147 This humble girl, though unworthy, wishes to challenge her teacher! [Bonus Chapter for 500 Monthly Tickets]

Bibi Dong's intuition is undoubtedly terrifying; she guessed Chen Hong's cultivation level fairly well through her knowledge of Soul Ring Intent.

However, Bibi Dong underestimated Chen Hong. Strictly speaking, Chen Hong's soul realm was at a terrifying level, touching the threshold of the Heaven and Man Harmony Realm.

"Huh?!" When Bibi Dong uttered the name Chen Hong, Hu Liena, whose mind was filled with thoughts of the Spirit Hall's High Priestess, suddenly froze on the spot.

"Is he really that good?" Hu Liena asked, stunned.

Bibi Dong looked at Hu Liena's expression, shook her head, and said softly, "He is an extremely rare spiritual soul master with a terrifying innate ability to observe minute things, and he is especially good at mental interference and influencing souls. Although you are also considered a half spiritual soul master, compared with him, a pure spiritual soul master, you still have to admit that there is a considerable gap in the details of mental power."

"According to the Spirit Hall's records, there have been more than thirty Spirit Soul Masters. Of these, more than two-thirds of them fell into evil Spirit Masters and were eliminated by the Spirit Hall. Most of the remaining Spirit Soul Masters were of mediocre talent and achieved nothing in their lives."

"Does the teacher mean that the stronger a spiritual master is, the more likely they are to fall into becoming an evil spiritual master?" Hu Liena asked blankly.

Bibi Dong looked at Hu Liena, who was acting strangely, with a deep gaze, nodded and said in a deep voice: "Take the recent example of Evil Soul Emperor Qianyu. He was originally a member of a certain soul master mercenary group. He was exceptionally talented, but in the end, he encountered a powerful enemy during a mission, and his beloved died. As a result, his personality changed drastically, and even his martial soul underwent a mutation."

"Illusion, mental interference, soul control. A Soul Emperor-level mental evil soul master inflicted far more damage on the Spirit Hall than an ordinary Soul Saint or even a Soul Douluo! And do you know what the most bizarre thing about him is?" Bibi Dong stared intently at Hu Liena, her most promising disciple, and then said, word by word:

"Soul possession! The Spirit Hall has clear records of capturing him and sending him to the Slaughter City, but not long after, one member of the Spirit Hall's capture team went missing and reappeared six months ago in the Sword Mountains, at the border of the Barak Kingdom and the Häagen-Dazs Kingdom, and attacked Ning Lu and Chen Hong, mother and son, in the Technology Chamber of Commerce's convoy!"

Even if the Technology Chamber of Commerce wanted to cover up the news about Evil Soul Emperor Qianyu, even if they absorbed those two mercenary groups, they could not completely block the news.

The Spirit Hall's higher-ups now know that Chen Hong was nearly possessed by the Evil Soul Emperor Qianyu, and they also know that the head soul bone that originally belonged to the Spirit Hall is in Chen Hong's possession. However, the Spirit Hall's higher-ups have not taken any rash action. According to the information from their scouts, Chen Hong seems to have not only not been possessed, but has actually subdued Qianyu. Although Bibi Dong and others do not quite believe this explanation, since the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has already given its stance (sending Ning Quan to accompany Chen Hong), the Spirit Hall cannot continue to interfere.

However, looking at the Soul Ring in her hand, Bibi Dong began to believe that the evil Soul Master Qianyu had been defeated by the monster Chen Hong. After all, Bishop Soto was very curious about Chen Hong's amazing Soul Skills, and thus left a lot of records for the Spirit Hall: Mental Focus (also known as Sage Time), suppressing distracting thoughts, clear mind, and has an unimaginable resistance to mental interference-type Soul Skills!

"Ah?! Then they..." Hu Liena's expression changed drastically upon hearing this news for the first time. She knew that the Technology Chamber of Commerce had been attacked, but she had no idea that the attacking Soul Masters were evil Soul Masters wanted by the Spirit Hall!

"Is that little monster something you care about so much? You can rest assured about that. It's almost certain that the evil spirit master Qianyu has been defeated by the little monster."

Bibi Dong looked at Hu Liena with a deep gaze and solemnly said, "You are free, Na'er. But I hope you won't follow my wrong path. I'm telling you all this only to tell you that spirit masters are especially adept at manipulating people's hearts and bewitching living beings. I just hope you won't fall into their trap. Once you're influenced by a spirit master, without a strong enough will and soul, you won't even be able to detect it!"

Because of her own dark experiences, Bibi Dong, who almost regarded Hu Liena as her own child, did not want to control Hu Liena's freedom, but she did not want Hu Liena to become the other party's puppet and lose her self-awareness.

When interacting with a spiritual master, special caution is required.

In fact, when the Spirit Hall discovered that Chen Hong's spirit was a spiritual spirit, Bishop Soto had already labeled Chen Hong as a "future little evil spirit master who is still growing." However, after Chen Hong acquired his first spirit skill, Sage Time, Bishop Soto, who understood the specific effects of Sage Time, quietly removed the label from Chen Hong.

"Ah, teacher, what are you saying?" Hu Liena's face, which had been somewhat dazed, flushed slightly after being teased by Bibi Dong, adding a touch of charm to her already pure and alluring appearance.

Looking at Hu Liena's expression, Bibi Dong couldn't help but sigh heavily.

"Sigh, this girl idolizes me so much, she idolizes me for everything, good or bad."

As a woman standing at the pinnacle of power in the Douluo Continent, Bibi Dong saw through Hu Liena's girlish thoughts at a glance.

Everyone on the mainland knows that Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang had a tragic past, so naturally Hu Liena knows as well. Moreover, not only does Hu Liena know, but because she's so close to Bibi Dong, she also understands some of Bibi Dong's feelings.

The fact that the world's most powerful woman could develop feelings for a man who claims to be a theoretical master is unbelievable to Hu Liena, yet it also fills her with curiosity.

Therefore, Hu Liena's curiosity about Master Yu Xiaogang will eventually evolve into curiosity about the "erudite and talented Soul Master scholar".

And coincidentally, Chen Hong, whose innate soul power is only six-fold, but whose intelligence is almost demonic, perfectly fits the script setting of "a learned and talented soul master scholar".

At first, Hu Liena didn't really have much of an opinion about Chen Hong; she just thought of him as a useless man who was destined to be unable to keep up with her.

However, with the rapid development of the Technology Chamber of Commerce, the fate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the 'swallowing up' of Shrek Academy, the terrifying speed of development of Soto City, and the emergence of Soul Ring Intent Theory, all of these things began to arouse Hu Liena's curiosity about Chen Hong.

And began to wonder if Chen Hong was working on an enhanced version of The Master's script?

If Chen Hong is an enhanced version of Master, then who would be an enhanced version of Bibi Dong?

Hu Liena felt that she was not very talented, but perhaps she could compete with her most admired teacher!
