Martial Soul Second Awakening: Destruction Fire Qilin (Part 2)

The three stood in a standoff for a moment before Yi, who had the hotter temper, stepped forward directly.

"Dong'er, to tell you the truth, we came to challenge Du Bai. Spirit Hall has rules: if you're dissatisfied with someone, you can issue them a legitimate challenge. So please don't stop us."

As Yi spoke, his courage gradually grew, and his fierce aura reignited.

After all, whoever chickened out today was a bastard with only 10 centimeters.

"Indeed. Please do not interfere!"

Xie Mo said calmly, but the strange patterns on his face churned with killing intent, displaying his determination.

"A challenge is fine, but Du Bai is busy right now. Please leave."

Bibi Dong's face was frosty as she spoke in a low voice.

"Heh, we're challenging Du Bai today. Don't stand in our way! Otherwise, don't blame me for getting rough!"

Yi said irritably as he released his Martial Soul, the Flame Lord. The surrounding temperature instantly soared.

The Flame Lord was a top-tier Martial Soul of fire and earth attributes. Seven soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black—pulsed around it, radiating a dangerous aura.

"Interesting."

Seeing this, Xie Mo also released his Martial Soul, the Crescent Demon Blade, without holding anything back. He possessed the same optimal soul ring configuration: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black.

With Crescent Demon Blades in both hands, Xie Mo was engulfed in baleful energy, his demonic aura even stronger.

"Yi, hold Dong'er back. I'll see how long that turtle can keep hiding!"

Xie Mo was steeped in wickedness. Having always disregarded rules, he had never intended to confront Bibi Dong head-on.

After several swift shifts in position, Xie Mo had already bypassed Bibi Dong and charged straight at Du Bai.

A flash of killing intent passed through Bibi Dong's eyes. Naturally, she would not let Xie Mo and Yi have their way.

In that instant.

Determination appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes.

Her First Martial Soul, the Death Spider Emperor, was released.

Her Seventh Soul Skill was unleashed—Martial Soul Avatar, Death Spider Emperor Avatar!

Her Third Soul Skill was unleashed—Death Spider Web Restraint.

After activating her Martial Soul Avatar, Bibi Dong resembled an enormous Poisonous Spider. A dark-purple web shot forth, shrouding Xie Mo in hazy purple toxic fumes.

Xie Mo had not expected Bibi Dong to act with such ruthless decisiveness, using her Martial Soul Avatar and Third Soul Skill the moment she attacked.

Bibi Dong was an eighty-sixth-rank Soul Douluo, far stronger than Xie Mo.

"Dong'er, you really are ruthless!"

After weighing the pros and cons, Xie Mo abandoned his advance toward Du Bai and dodged backward.

"Don't be afraid, Old Demon Xie. I'll help you hold Dong'er back!"

Seeing Bibi Dong make her move, Yi's fiery temper flared as he released his Martial Soul Avatar as well.

In an instant, Yi transformed into the Flame Lord, commanding terrifying flames.

Then his Fifth Soul Skill was unleashed—Flame Meteorite!

With a wave of Flame Lord Yi's massive fiery hand, meteorites carrying terrifying dark-red flames appeared out of thin air and crashed toward the enormous Poisonous Spider.

But at that moment, a figure radiating a terrifying aura appeared on the battlefield.

Then, a yellow chrysanthemum burst from this figure and traced an arc through the air, rapidly expanding from small to enormous.

In the blink of an eye, the yellow chrysanthemum had grown towering and immense, wrapping around and obliterating the flaming meteorites.

This yellow chrysanthemum was the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

"What are you doing?!"

The figure shouted angrily.

The aura of a Titled Douluo.

The newcomer was none other than Chrysanthemum Douluo, Yue Guan.

Yue Guan had come under Pope Qian Xunji's orders to deliver a command, telling Du Bai to find a way to undergo Martial Soul Awakening.

He had not expected to find the three members of Spirit Hall's Glory Generation fighting in front of Du Bai's house the moment he arrived.

It was utterly outrageous.

"Greetings, Elder Ju!"

After retracting their Martial Soul Avatars, Bibi Dong, Yi, and Xie Mo respectfully greeted Yue Guan.

"Tell me, what are you doing? If you want to fight, go to the Douluo Arena. What kind of behavior is it to fight here?"

Yue Guan said angrily.

Yi and Xie Mo looked at each other. The two of them had come to arrange a fight.

Go ahead, Dong'er. Tattle on us!

Yi thought to himself.

In Yi's view, the two of them would receive, at most, a minor punishment for publicly causing trouble in order to challenge Du Bai.

But Du Bai had hidden inside the house, too afraid to come out, and even needed a woman to protect him.

If word got out, he would definitely become the laughingstock of the ages.

Thinking of this, Yi felt secretly pleased.

Xie Mo beside him had come to the same conclusion. Though they had failed to arrange the fight, making Du Bai lose face was still not a bad outcome.

But Bibi Dong's next words left Xie Mo and Yi so shocked that their jaws nearly hit the ground.

Bibi Dong naturally noticed the smug looks on Yi and Xie Mo's faces. She sneered and said indifferently.

"Du Bai is undergoing Martial Soul Second Awakening."

"Mm. Du Bai is undergoing Martial Soul Second Awakening. What? Say that again? Du Bai is undergoing a second Martial Soul Awakening?"

"Yes. Du Bai is undergoing Martial Soul Second Awakening inside the house!"

Whoosh—

The expressions of the three uninformed people changed drastically.

Yi and Xie Mo, along with Yue Guan, whose face had initially been filled with anger, were all now stunned beyond belief by what Bibi Dong had said.

"I'll take a look!"

As Yue Guan spoke, he flashed forward impatiently toward Du Bai's house.

One look confirmed Bibi Dong's words.

"As expected, Du Bai truly is undergoing Martial Soul Second Awakening! Hahaha! Spirit Hall is about to produce the greatest peerless genius on the continent!"

"What bullshit Clear Sky Sect! Even Tang Hao, the youngest Titled Douluo, is nothing before Spirit Hall's Holy Son!"

Yue Guan was exhilarated. His entire face flushed red, and he was in an exceptionally good mood.

Seeing Yue Guan's excited expression, Xie Mo and Yi's moods instantly plummeted to rock bottom.

"That's impossible!"

Unable to accept it, Yi rushed forward to take a look.

Xie Mo hurried forward as well.

Inside the house.

Du Bai was wholeheartedly undergoing Martial Soul Second Awakening.

At this point, the original pair of Three-Unlike Golden Rods had visibly transformed into two extraordinary divine weapons.

The facts were right before them.

Xie Mo and Yi's faces turned ashen.

Du Bai had not remained inside because he was afraid to fight.

It was because Du Bai was undergoing Martial Soul Second Awakening and could not spare the attention, while Bibi Dong had been standing guard for him.

After all that, they themselves were the clowns.

"What did you two come here for?"

Yue Guan glared at them.

"We... we..."

Yi and Xie Mo had lost all their earlier arrogance.

Before Chrysanthemum Douluo, they now resembled two startled chicks, not daring to act recklessly.

"We... we came to congratulate His Highness the Holy Son..."

Xie Mo stammered. The moment he mentioned congratulations, his old face turned red.

"That's right, we came to congratulate Holy Son Du. To congratulate him on his wedding, and on his Martial Soul Awakening!"

Yi's old face also reddened as he continued along with Xie Mo's words.

At this moment, Yi and Xie Mo wore extremely strange expressions.

Originally, Yi and Xie Mo had intended to find Du Bai, fight him, and humiliate him in passing.

Instead, they had failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice; they were the ones humiliated, and they even had to congratulate Du Bai, force smiles, and apologize.

It felt like taking a dump when a long turd was just half a thumb's length from coming out, right at the most satisfying moment.

Only for it to be forced back in, and then having to shove it in a few more times before it would stop.

It was awful. This feeling was truly awful.
