Choosing a Teacher

Innate Level 20 Soul Power!

In an instant, the crowd erupted.

"My heavens! Two god-level Martial Souls and Innate Level 20 Soul Power—is he blessed by the gods?!"

"Innate Level 20 Soul Power? Unheard of! This boy has made history!"

"More than that! Two god-level Martial Souls—that's a first in the history of the entire Douluo Continent!"

"What terrifying talent! If he's allowed to grow, Spirit Hall's dominance will last for at least another thousand years!"

Countless people buzzed with discussion.

In truth, the first person on the Douluo Continent with Innate Level 20 Soul Power was Qian Renxue.

But Qian Renxue's identity was a closely guarded secret and had never been made public.

That was why these people mistakenly believed Qian Guxing was the first person with Innate Level 20 Soul Power.

Even so, that did nothing to lessen their shock at Qian Guxing's talent.

Everyone present, whether they were Soul Masters from childhood, Spirit Hall Soul Masters, or Soul Masters from other factions, realized that as long as Qian Guxing was allowed to grow, the Douluo Continent would belong to Spirit Hall for the next era and even the one after that!

From a distant pavilion, Qian Renxue stared blankly at Qian Guxing.

They were so alike.

Both possessed god-level Martial Souls, and both had Innate Level 20 Soul Power.

As I thought, Xiao Xing is the gift the Angel God gave me!

Meanwhile.

At the scene.

Two scorching gazes fell on Qian Guxing at the same time.

Qian Daoliu glanced at Bibi Dong. After a mere second's thought, he grabbed Qian Guxing and flew straight toward the Worship Hall!

"You cunning old bastard!"

Bibi Dong was stunned. She had never expected Qian Daoliu, who had always cared about his dignity, to disregard all decorum and fly off with Qian Guxing, intending to cook the raw rice before anyone could stop him.

At that thought, Bibi Dong could no longer care about maintaining her papal dignity. She shot straight into the sky, close on Qian Daoliu's heels.

The titled powerhouses from the Elders Hall and Worship Hall who remained behind looked at one another in bewilderment.

Qian Guxing, who had not had a say from beginning to end, was still in Qian Daoliu's grasp. The moment they landed, the first words he heard Qian Daoliu say were:

"Child, I am the Great Enshrined of the Worship Hall, a Level 99 Peerless Douluo and the strongest person in the world today. Would you be willing to take me as your teacher?"

Seeing how eager Qian Daoliu was, Qian Guxing nearly failed to hold back his laughter.

He had never expected someone as thick-browed and wide-eyed as Qian Daoliu to be so crafty.

But Qian Guxing wanted to shop around. Qian Daoliu wanted to take him as a disciple before Bibi Dong could, but Qian Guxing was determined not to let him have his way.

Without the Female Lead System, taking Qian Daoliu as his teacher would indeed have been a good choice.

With a Level 99 Limit Douluo backing him, he could go anywhere he pleased, except that he couldn't afford to provoke the Ferocious Beasts beneath the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest.

But Qian Guxing's Female Lead System was unhinged.

It had identified Qian Guxing as the female lead.

At the same time, it had identified the original Douluo story's female lead as the male lead.

Qian Renxue, his number-one big sister, had already dropped so many good things for Qian Guxing.

There was no reason Bibi Dong, the number-one supervillain in the original story, would drop fewer things than Qian Renxue.

So, before his new number-one big sister arrived, Qian Guxing wouldn't say a word.

The next moment, Bibi Dong arrived in a hurry. After landing, she looked at Qian Daoliu, her eyes filled with anger:

"Impressive tactics, Great Enshrined. Were you really in such a hurry?"

Qian Daoliu's old face burned with embarrassment. He really had no choice—with such a fine seedling, she couldn't rest easy unless he nurtured Qian Guxing himself.

But now that Bibi Dong had arrived, the situation had changed.

Although Qian Daoliu was the Great Enshrined of the Worship Hall and had the authority to summon the other enshrined and remove Bibi Dong from her position as Pope,

It had never been the case that someone became powerful by becoming Pope; rather, only the powerful were qualified to become Pope.

Bibi Dong had already accepted the Rakshasa God Trial and was a Quasi-God.

Qian Daoliu didn't dare make an enemy of her.

If they truly tore off all pretense, it would be nothing short of a catastrophe for Spirit Hall.

More importantly, Qian Daoliu feared that Bibi Dong would make a move against Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue was Qian Daoliu's greatest weakness. She was both the Qian Family's only direct descendant and the person most qualified in all of history to begin the Angel God Trial and become the Angel God.

Thus, for Spirit Hall's sake, and even more for Qian Renxue's, Qian Daoliu could yield to Bibi Dong in every possible way.

Even though Qian Daoliu knew that Bibi Dong was the true murderer of his son, Qian Xunji, he still chose to endure.

Qian Daoliu was just like the Third Hokage in Naruto, hailed as the hero of endurance. Yet by the time he was done enduring, his son was dead, his granddaughter's path to godhood had been severed, and he had played a fine hand of cards to ruin.

But faced with a genius of Qian Guxing's caliber, would Qian Daoliu still endure?

He looked at Bibi Dong, met her gaze, and said:

"Qian Guxing's talent is extraordinary. I am a Level 99 Limit Douluo. On the entire continent, no one but me can teach him!"

"Heh." Bibi Dong sneered and shot back, "Then can you teach him how to keep his Twin Martial Souls from exploding?"

Qian Daoliu was immediately at a loss for words.

Bibi Dong was the second person in the continent's history to possess Twin Martial Souls, and the only one who had successfully cultivated them.

In that regard, Qian Daoliu truly could not match Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong stepped gracefully forward until she stood before Qian Guxing. Looking at his face, she couldn't help marveling at how such exquisite features could exist in the world; he was simply as if made by a god.

Qian Guxing was studying Bibi Dong as well. Her features were delicate, and her figure was voluptuous without a trace of excess flesh, like a fully ripened peach.

Qian Guxing admitted he was shameless.

He coveted Bibi Dong's body.

He simply liked top-tier mature women like Bibi Dong.

As for Bibi Dong's past, Qian Guxing, as someone who came later, would sum it up, if asked, as three fools using the stupidest methods to solve a problem.

"Qian Guxing," Bibi Dong said, a faint pressure in her gaze:

"Would you be willing to take me as your teacher? On the entire continent, I alone can teach you how to cultivate Twin Martial Souls."

When Bibi Dong finished speaking,

A system notification appeared.

[Bibi Dong, the current Pope of Spirit Hall and disciple of the previous Pope, Qian Xunji, was deceived in her youth by the malicious supporting female character Yu Xiaogang and fell in love with him. Upon learning of this, Qian Xunji forced himself on Bibi Dong in a secret chamber, and she gave birth to their daughter, Qian Renxue.

From then on, Bibi Dong became completely entangled in hatred, a slave to revenge.

She has now accepted the Rakshasa God Trial, and her emotions are extremely unstable.

Faced with Bibi Dong's invitation to become her disciple, what is your choice?

Choice one: Reject Bibi Dong. To serve a ruler is to keep company with a tiger, and Bibi Dong is a mad tigress besides. Join Qian Daoliu instead and gain a safer environment in which to grow. Reward: a complete guide to crafting Level 1 through Level 9 Soul Tools.

Choice two: The bigger the storm, the more valuable the fish. Only the weak fear consequences; the strong pursue results alone. Take Bibi Dong as your teacher and tame this tigress! Reward: Hashirama Senju Physique!]

The moment Qian Guxing saw the reward, he nearly cried out in excitement.

As expected of Bibi Dong!

The number-one villain in the original story!

The reward she gives is so heaven-defying!
