Chapter Twenty-Seven: Qian Renxue Smiled

"Young Master." The two titled Douluo, Serpent Spear and Porcupine, looked respectfully at the girl whose back was to them and said in a respectful voice.

"Uncle She Long, go to Notting City tonight to investigate Lan Si's background. I need all his information," Qian Renxue said calmly.

"Yes." Serpent Spear Douluo did not hesitate and respectfully replied. His figure transformed into a ghost and disappeared into the forest.

“Uncle Thornblood, you stay here with me and see if this kid can withstand the Soul-Devouring Spider Soul Ring that exceeds its limits,” Qian Renxue said again.

"Yes, I am also very interested in this little guy. If he can persevere, his future is limitless. Only a genius like him is qualified to assist the young master." The Porcupine Douluo glanced at Lan Si, who was absorbing the Soul-Devouring Spider's soul ring, and said respectfully to Qian Renxue with a light smile. He knew that his young master valued Lan Si's talent and had taken a liking to him.

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue did not reply, but simply gazed at Lan Si. As night fell and the bright moon hung high, its pure white light poured down, and faintly, one could see Qian Renxue's beautiful and otherworldly noble face, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Silent all night.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Serpent Spear Douluo had already returned.

Qian Renxue's gaze had become very solemn. In front of her, Lan Si, who was sitting cross-legged next to the Soul-Devouring Demon Spider, could no longer be seen. His whole body was shrouded in a layer of light red mist.

Within the red mist, one could vaguely see blue electric arcs and pale white flames flashing by.

The red color in the mist was none other than Lan Si's blood. An hour ago, as his soul power fluctuated violently, a layer of fine blood beads began to seep from Lan Si's skin. Then, under the high temperature of the pale white flames, the blood evaporated into the air and turned into this light red mist.

Lan Si's brows were furrowed, his teeth were clenched, and his body was convulsing uncontrollably. Coupled with the beads of blood on his body, one could imagine the immense pain he was enduring at that moment.

Within the blood mist, the cracking sounds of bones echoed intermittently, each sound sending a chill down one's spine. However, the third soul ring, which should have appeared with the absorption, had yet to materialize, indicating that Lan Si had not yet fully absorbed the Soul Devouring Spider's soul ring.

“Young Master, the Soul-Devouring Spider is an extremely ferocious and violent creature among soul beasts. It is over two thousand years old, nearly two thousand five hundred years old. A whole night has passed, and I’m afraid this kid won’t be able to hold on.” The Porcupine Douluo glanced at Lan Si, who was in the blood mist, and said to Qian Renxue with some regret.

From Serpent Spear Douluo, he learned that Lan Si was a commoner genius with a clean background, who had never been involved with any powerful forces, and seemed to have a considerable fondness for the Spirit Hall. It would be a real pity if such a genius were to perish.

Serpent Spear Douluo stood next to Porcupine Douluo, holding a stack of documents in his hand. He had spent an entire night collecting these documents using the Spirit Hall's channels. They contained a record of Lan Si's general situation from Spirit Awakening to graduation from Notting Academy.

Half an hour ago, Serpent Spear returned, but seeing his young master staring intently at Lan Si, he chose to stand aside without saying a word. He simply communicated with his old buddy, Porcupine, using telepathic communication.

Upon hearing the words of the Porcupine Douluo, Qian Renxue raised her eyebrows, recalling her previous conversations with Lan Si. After hesitating for a moment, she walked up to Lan Si, bent down slightly, and slowly approached Lan Si with golden light pulsating in her hands.

The two men standing nearby, Porcupine and Serpent Spear, were shocked. They thought to themselves, "Could it be that our young master intends to use the Angel Domain to purify the violent energy within the Soul Devouring Spider's soul ring for this kid?"

Just as the golden light in Qian Renxue's hand was about to approach Lan Si, a dazzling white light suddenly shone from beneath Lan Si. The white light became increasingly bright, and a huge blue lotus with a diameter of over two meters slowly emerged, with eight lotus leaves gathering to envelop Lan Si entirely.

The moment the golden light in Qian Renxue's hand touched the green lotus, it was deflected back.

The purple halo representing the third spirit ring slowly emerged, swirling around the giant blue lotus...

"What is this?" Qian Renxue looked surprised.

"Young Master, it seems this kid pulled through." The Porcupine Douluo walked excitedly to Qian Renxue's side and said respectfully. Although he had already broken through to the Title Douluo level, this was the first time in all his years of life that he had witnessed someone absorbing a spirit ring beyond their level. Moreover, it was the most ferocious and violent spirit beast among spirit beasts, the Soul Devouring Demon Spider.

It should be noted that the Soul-Devouring Spider can grow into the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor, and Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, has the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor as her second spirit.

Serpent Spear Douluo also handed over the documents in his hand at the right time, and said respectfully, "Young Master, this is the information that I have investigated overnight."

Qian Renxue took the documents, nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Thank you both, Uncles. Lan Si will be waking up soon, so please hide for now."

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo exchanged a glance, then nodded, and with a flash, disappeared into the jungle.

Qian Renxue glanced at Lan Si again. Now that the third soul ring representing the Soul Master had appeared, it meant that Lan Si was out of danger. Now she was no longer in a hurry. She simply found a rock, sat down, and flipped through the information about Lan Si.

Name: Lan Si; Awakened her martial spirit at age six.

Martial Soul: Azure Fire Lotus;

Innate soul power level five; (After repeated confirmation with Su Yuntao, the guide to Lan Si's martial soul awakening, it is undoubtedly true that her innate soul power is level five.)

Three months later, he broke through level ten, and soon after, he obtained his first spirit ring, became a certified spirit master, and his spirit power reached level eleven.

Two years and six months later, he obtained his second spirit ring and was certified as a Great Spirit Master...

Looking at the information, Qian Renxue smiled and murmured to herself, "A person with innate soul power at level five, yet managed to raise their soul power to level ten within three months. That's quite interesting."

Turn to the next page and continue reading.

This is a record of Lan Si's performance in Nottingham.

When Qian Renxue saw Lan Si defeat a Soul Master with innate full Soul Power who possessed a Rabbit Martial Soul more than a hundred times, she didn't care much. In her opinion, the so-called innate full Soul Power was just a slightly more powerful ordinary genius, and it was not worth mentioning at all compared to Lan Si's twin Martial Souls.

On the contrary, Lan Si was often harassed by a middle-aged man who claimed to be a master, which aroused her interest.

As far as she knew, the only one in the entire Soul Master world who could shamelessly call himself a master was Yu Xiaogang, the one that the woman longed for.

According to the information, Lan Si often left that master speechless, and this was even in the latter's most prized theoretical field. Every sentence was reasonable and well-founded, leaving no room for rebuttal and putting Yu Xiaogang in an awkward position several times.

His face flushed red, and he fled in a disheveled state...

Upon seeing this, Qian Renxue felt a surge of intense vengeful pleasure. She smiled. She was already beautiful, and her smile captivated the entire Star Dou Great Forest, just as the saying goes, "One smile can captivate a city, another can captivate a nation."

He thought to himself, "So this kid really is self-taught."

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Bibi Dong's Shock

Meanwhile, in Wuhun City, at the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong also received a document delivered by someone from the Serpent Spear Douluo.

The Spirit Hall has three centers of power: the Pope's Hall, the Elders' Hall, and the Hall of Offerings.

Normally, the Hall of Offerings does not interfere with the affairs of the Spirit Hall, so the decision-making power rests with the Papal Hall and the Hall of Elders. Among them, the Papal Hall is the most prestigious.

Although Serpent Spear is a titled Douluo, he is not qualified to enter the Hall of Worship, so he belongs to the Hall of Elders and is loyal to Bibi Dong. However, because he was ordered to protect Qian Renxue, who is the granddaughter of Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Hall of Worship and a level 99 Peerless Douluo, he is a peacemaker between the Papal Hall and the Hall of Worship, and does not offend either side.

As a titled Douluo elder of the Spirit Hall, he knew a little about Bibi Dong's past. Knowing that Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong had a past relationship, he cleverly made two preparations.

One of the documents given to Qian Renxue was related to Yu Xiaogang.

The other document, addressed to Bibi Dong, skipped over Yu Xiaogang's part and only described how remarkable Lan Si's talent was: twin martial souls, and at just over twelve years old, at level thirty, he could kill a Soul-Devouring Spider with an age of two thousand five hundred years on his own, and was currently absorbing that super-age-limited soul ring.

"Twin martial souls, the martial souls are a blue fire lotus and a cone-shaped hammer that is no weaker than the Clear Sky Hammer, containing lightning attribute, which is quite interesting."

Inside the spacious and brightly lit hall, Bibi Dong sat languidly on the large throne, one hand supporting her cheek, the other holding documents, muttering to herself.

She was tall and slender, her long, flowing gold gown fitting her perfectly from head to toe. The dazzling dress shimmered with over a hundred red, blue, and gold gemstones. Her nine-curved purple-gold crown was even more radiant. A two-meter-long scepter, inlaid with countless jewels, lay casually to her side. Her fair skin and near-perfect features made her stand out from the crowd. Especially striking was the intangible nobility and sanctity she exuded, inspiring an overwhelming sense of reverence.

A girl with short blonde hair, around seventeen or eighteen years old, entered the main hall, bowed to Bibi Dong, and said, "Teacher, what are you looking at?"

"Elder Serpent Spear sent word that they encountered a genius with twin martial souls in the Star Dou Great Forest," Bibi Dong replied with a slightly amused smile.

"Twin martial souls, wouldn't that be just like the teacher..." Hu Liena looked incredulous.

Bibi Dong nodded slowly, her noble face serene and content.

"Teacher, will he join our Spirit Hall?" Hu Liena asked with a serious expression. At this time, Hu Liena had not yet fallen in love with Tang San as she did in the original story, so she had a strong sense of belonging to the Spirit Hall and would not do anything as foolish as she did in the original story.

A genius with twin martial souls is a double-edged sword. Joining the Spirit Hall would be a boon, but joining another force or creating their own could pose a threat to the Spirit Hall in the future. Geniuses have considerable influence, and the Douluo Continent has many opposing forces to the Spirit Hall. Therefore, dealing with a genius possessing twin martial souls requires extreme caution...

"Whether he will join our Spirit Hall or not is another matter. The key is whether he can get through this ordeal. Do you know that he is currently absorbing a Soul Devouring Spider that is nearly 2,500 years old as his third spirit ring?" A mocking smile appeared on Bibi Dong's noble face.

A long time ago, Yu Xiaogang once did a summary of the limits of spirit ring absorption based on the data he had collected over the years.

The first spirit ring has a lifespan of 423 years.

The second spirit ring has a lifespan of 764 years.

The third spirit ring has a lifespan of 1760 years.

The fourth spirit ring has a lifespan of 5000 years;

The fifth spirit ring has a lifespan of 12000 years;

The sixth spirit ring has a lifespan of 20000 years.

The seventh spirit ring has a lifespan of 30000 to 50000 years.

The eighth spirit ring has a lifespan of 50000 years or more;

The ninth spirit ring has a lifespan of over 100000 years.

Although the Spirit Hall never acknowledged this, Bibi Dong, who had an almost blind confidence in Yu Xiaogang, had no doubt about it.

Her first martial soul acquired its soul rings according to this time limit, and the configuration was: yellow yellow purple purple black black black black red;

Because 100,000-year-old soul beasts are rare, the age limit for hunting soul rings for the second martial soul is set at 50,000 years or more. Except for 100,000-year-old soul rings, it will absorb any suitable one it encounters.

Lan Si actually intended to break this limit, and on the basis of exceeding the limit of the third soul ring by nearly 700 years, reaching 2,500 years, he absorbed a Soul Devouring Demon Spider, the most ferocious and violent soul beast in the world.

That's just wishful thinking.

No one knows better than her how terrifying the Soul-Devouring Spider is, because her second martial soul is the evolved version of the Soul-Devouring Spider, the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor. The terrifying and violent energy contained in its soul rings is something that a level 30 Quasi-Soul Master simply cannot withstand.

"A Soul-Devouring Spider that's 2,500 years old..." Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, Hu Liena exclaimed in surprise, her eyes flashing with disbelief. Her delicate, rosy lips formed an "O" shape as she exclaimed, "Teacher, didn't you say the maximum age for a third soul ring is 1760 years? He's absorbing a soul ring that's 2,500 years old? Does he have a death wish?"

This celebrity really wants to retire.

"Who knows? We'll have news soon enough. We'll know whether they're alive or dead when we ask," Bibi Dong said with a smile.

Just then, hurried footsteps sounded outside the hall, and a cardinal strode in, knelt down, and said respectfully, "Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope."

"So, is that kid dead or not?" Bibi Dong asked casually.

"Your Holiness, according to the message just sent by Elder Serpent Spear, Lan Si has succeeded and has also obtained the external soul bone of the Soul-Devouring Demon Spider, along with its eight spider legs." The cardinal raised his hands, respectfully handed over a note, and said in a trembling voice.

"What..." Upon hearing the cardinal's words, even Bibi Dong, with her composure, couldn't help but be taken aback. She used the teleportation skill of the Death Domain to instantly move in front of the cardinal and snatch the creed.

The creed is clearly written, bearing the exclusive seal of the Spirit Hall elders, and is indeed in the handwriting of Serpent Spear Douluo.

The Serpent Spear Douluo would never dare to lie to her, which means the news is true.

An external soul bone! Lan Si, who possesses twin martial souls, actually has an external soul bone, and it's even produced by the Soul Devouring Demon Spider. If he fully grows up, it would be fine if he pledges allegiance to the Spirit Hall; otherwise, he will become a major threat to the Spirit Hall, surpassing even Tang Hao.

Just then, the cardinal spoke again, trembling, "Your Holiness, I have something else to report to you."

As he spoke, he glanced at Hu Liena beside him.

Bibi Dong understood, and waved her hand, signaling Hu Liena to leave.
