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

"Oh? Is that so? Then why were you gathered here brawling?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke gravely, his eyes flashing with menace.

"We... we hadn't seen Dong'er in a long time. When we saw her this time, our hands got itchy, so we were sparring with her."

"Yes, that's right. That's exactly what happened."

Yi and Xie Mo were disheveled and dusty, not daring to act out.

"Hmph! This is a crucial moment for the Holy Son's Martial Soul Awakening! If anything goes wrong, you won't be able to bear the consequences. Get out of here!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan snorted coldly.

Although Yi and Xie Mo had made a mistake, they were still among the future generation of elites of Spirit Hall.

Since they knew enough to take the offered way out, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan naturally would not make things difficult for them.

"Yes."

Upon hearing that they were being dismissed, Yi and Xie Mo felt as though they had been granted a pardon and fled in disgrace.

As they ran, neither of them even dared to look at Bibi Dong.

Too humiliating. Absolutely too humiliating.

Seeing Yi and Xie Mo leave in such a sorry state, Bibi Dong's icy expression softened, and her mood improved considerably.

"Holy Maiden!"

At that moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan called out.

"Elder Ju, what are your instructions?"

Bibi Dong replied.

"The Holy Son is currently undergoing his second Martial Soul Awakening. I am standing guard here and cannot leave. I ask that the Holy Maiden inform His Holiness the Pope of this matter."

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan instructed her.

"Yes, Elder Ju!"

Bibi Dong accepted the order.

Du Bai was Spirit Hall's Holy Son. Now that he was undergoing a Martial Soul Second Awakening, such a major matter truly had to be reported to His Holiness the Pope.

Even if...

Bibi Dong did not wish to see Qian Xunji, she still had no choice but to go.

Soon after.

Bibi Dong arrived at the Pope Palace.

"Greetings, Teacher."

Qian Xunji was rather surprised to see Bibi Dong arrive.

As he looked at the beautiful figure before him, Qian Xunji could not help but ponder.

Dong'er has come to see me. It must be because of Du Bai!

I had Yue Guan convey my order for Du Bai to seek a way to undergo a Martial Soul Second Awakening. If he could not awaken in time, I would send him to train in the City of Death.

A Martial Soul Awakening is not so easy. Dong'er must have come to plead for him!

Hehe, Dong'er does care for Du Bai, but as your teacher, I refuse to let you husband and wife have your way.

I'll separate the two of you, then find a way to have you! Who told me to crave your body, Dong'er?

Qian Xunji silently made up his mind, determined not to soften or yield.

"Dong'er, what is it?"

Qian Xunji asked indifferently.

"Reporting to Teacher, Du Bai is undergoing a Martial Soul Second Awakening. Elder Ju is guarding him, while I came to report this to you."

Bibi Dong answered respectfully, burying her disgust deep within.

"Hm? What? Du Bai is undergoing a Martial Soul Second Awakening?"

Whoosh—

Qian Xunji's previously teasing expression changed dramatically, and he was utterly stunned.

"Yes, Teacher. Du Bai is undergoing a Martial Soul Second Awakening."

Bibi Dong repeated herself out of habit. Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others had been equally shocked at the time.

"Where is he now?"

"At Du Bai's residence."

"What? At Du Bai's residence?"

Qian Xunji had thought Du Bai had suddenly encountered some great opportunity. He never expected him to be undergoing a Martial Soul Second Awakening at his own residence.

This came as an enormous surprise to Qian Xunji.

"Yes, Teacher."

"You said Chrysanthemum Douluo is guarding him?"

"Yes!"

"Good! Very good! My obedient disciple has given your teacher a great surprise."

"I'll go take a look first."

A sharp glint flashed through Qian Xunji's eyes. Then, with a tap of his feet against the ground, he was already out of the Pope Palace.

Behind Qian Xunji, a ghostly figure closely followed.

That ghostly figure was Ghost Douluo, Ghost Douluo, a level 94 Titled Douluo famed alongside Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Soon after.

Qian Xunji and Ghost Douluo arrived at Du Bai's residence.

"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan briefly explained Du Bai's situation to Qian Xunji.

"Good. I understand."

Qian Xunji replied, then swiftly went to inspect the area beside Du Bai's house.

"As expected, my fine Holy Son truly is Spirit Hall's Kirin Son!"

Qian Xunji sounded proud, but his heart ached.

He had originally intended to use the Martial Soul Second Awakening as an excuse to send Du Bai away to train.

While Du Bai was out of the way, he would find a means to possess Bibi Dong.

Yet Du Bai had slapped him in the face without a word, undergoing a Martial Soul Second Awakening right at his own doorstep as soon as dawn broke.

Qian Xunji's feelings were complicated. He did not know whether to be pleased or angry.

Du Bai marrying Bibi Dong was, to Qian Xunji, the hatred of having his wife stolen, but Du Bai was still Spirit Hall's Holy Son.

Alas, it will be even harder to make a move on Dong'er in the future. Is this fate?

Qian Xunji let out a deep sigh inwardly, his heart exceedingly conflicted.

"Ghost, Yue Guan, the three of us will stand guard for the Holy Son and protect him during his Martial Soul Second Awakening."

Qian Xunji gave the order.

"Yes."

Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan answered respectfully.

Thus, Qian Xunji, Ghost Douluo, and Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan—three mighty Titled Douluo—stood guard over Du Bai.

This was the heart of Spirit Hall. Even if Qian Xunji and the other two were not present, no one would dare intrude.

Yet the three of them still chose to do so. This was the respect Spirit Hall showed its Holy Son!

Soon after.

Bibi Dong also hurried over from the Pope Palace. Du Bai was now Bibi Dong's husband, so naturally she had to be present.

Inside the house.

Du Bai naturally noticed the commotion outside.

Du Bai, who had originally wanted to keep a low profile, could only laugh bitterly now.

Even keeping a low profile is hard!

Du Bai sighed inwardly. He had deliberately chosen his old residence for his second Martial Soul Awakening.

Yet he had still drawn others over to guard him.

It was too difficult.

Putting those thoughts aside, Du Bai focused wholeheartedly on his Martial Soul Second Awakening.

At this moment.

Du Bai's martial soul in his right hand had evolved into an AK-47 automatic rifle forged from gold, its entire body gleaming with brilliant golden light.

Most extraordinary of all, a mighty Fire Qilin lay atop the AK rifle, fused as one with the gun itself.

The Fire Qilin's eyes shone with fiery light, causing one's heart to tremble.

This martial soul had a name: AK-47 Fire Qilin.

Meanwhile, the martial soul in Du Bai's left hand had evolved into a Barrett cannon forged from dark gold. The entire cannon restrained its dark golden radiance, seeming ready to strike at any moment.

In particular, before the Barrett cannon's illuminated-dot scope were two Qilin eyes blazing with red light. They looked incomparably imposing and emanated a dangerous aura, even more terrifying than the AK-47 Fire Qilin.

This martial soul had a name: Barrett—Destruction.

At this point, both of Du Bai's martial souls had evolved into their final forms, yet the Martial Soul Awakening had not ended.

It turned out that the sixth soul ring of Du Bai's AK-47 Fire Qilin martial soul was unwilling to fall away, unwilling to become Soul Power that nourished Du Bai.

"I remember this sixth soul ring came from a forty-five-thousand-year Berserk Giant Ape. I never expected it to seem conscious, unwilling to leave my AK-47 Fire Qilin martial soul."

Watching the sixth soul ring struggle and tremble, Du Bai could only laugh bitterly.
