The system had said that any Soul Ring under fifty thousand years was unworthy of his Martial Soul and would be stripped away by the system.
So Du Bai had no choice.
For now, he could only patiently wait for the Sixth Soul Ring to fall off.
But judging by the situation, it seemed it would take quite a long time.
Just as Du Bai decided to wait patiently.
A Soul Power energy pillar as thick as an arm erupted from Du Bai's chest and surged toward the Sixth Soul Ring that refused to leave his Martial Soul.
As the Soul Power poured out, the Sixth Soul Ring's trembling gradually weakened. It was slowly growing stronger—in other words, its age was increasing.
Originally, nourished by the Soul Power brought by the shedding of the First through Fifth Soul Rings, Du Bai had already reached level 85 Soul Douluo, with faint signs of breaking through to level 86.
But as the Soul Power within him continued pouring outward, Du Bai felt his level begin to loosen.
He fell from the peak of level 85 to the late stage of level 85, then finally to the middle stage of level 85 before stopping.
Having absorbed enough Soul Power, the Sixth Soul Ring had now evolved to an age of over fifty thousand years.
"This Sixth Soul Ring is really interesting. It's like a cockroach—it just won't die no matter how hard you crush it, and it even got stronger."
Watching this unbelievable scene, Du Bai did not know whether to laugh or cry.
As the Sixth Soul Ring surpassed fifty thousand years, the Martial Soul Second Awakening also entered its final phase.
A moment later.
Du Bai's right-hand Martial Soul, the AK-47 Fire Qilin, and his left-hand Martial Soul, the Barrett-Destruction, erupted with dazzling light once more.
After the brilliant light reached its peak, it began to withdraw until everything finally returned to calm.
The two peerless gun Martial Souls quietly radiated a terrifying, intimidating aura.
The Martial Soul Second Awakening had succeeded!
"Now this is the standard gear of a peerless powerhouse! In the future, I'll be even more capable of protecting Dong'er!"
Looking at the Martial Souls in his hands, Du Bai could not hide the delight in his eyes.
"I need to find some clothes to put on, then go see Dong'er, the Pope, and the elders."
Du Bai slowly rose to his feet and gave a wry smile as he looked at his naked body.
During the awakening, lightning had blasted all of Du Bai's clothes to pieces. He was completely bare now.
"Thankfully, no one barged in while my Martial Soul was undergoing its second awakening."
"Otherwise, they'd definitely feel inferior because of my third gun and be unable to sleep at night."
Muttering to himself, Du Bai quickly cleaned up and found a suitable set of clothes to change into.
Once he stepped outside.
Du Bai saw Pope Qian Xunji, along with the two Titled Douluo powerhouses Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo, all looking in his direction as they walked over.
Besides those three, there was naturally also his wife, Bibi Dong.
Du Bai was not surprised to see them.
Earlier, while Du Bai had been awakening his Martial Soul, he had noticed the commotion outside. Later, an elder had suggested standing guard for him.
"Greetings, Teacher."
"Greetings, Elders."
Du Bai respectfully bowed to Qian Xunji and the two elders, Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Then, Du Bai's gentle gaze fell upon Bibi Dong.
"Little Dong Dong, you came too."
Du Bai greeted Bibi Dong affectionately.
Hearing that intimate form of address, Bibi Dong froze for a moment. Then she remembered having just seen Du Bai naked while awakening his Martial Soul, and two blushes rose on her lovely face.
"Yes. Are you all right?"
Bibi Dong asked with concern as she walked to Du Bai's side.
As the beauty drew close, though they were still separated by some distance, Du Bai could feel a trace of warmth radiating from Bibi Dong's alluring body.
Combined with the holy, pleasant fragrance filling his nostrils, Du Bai's third gun actually rose slightly in public.
Of course.
Pope Qian Xunji and the elders did not notice anything unusual.
Seeing Du Bai and Bibi Dong acting so intimately, Qian Xunji felt a sharp pang in his heart. But he quickly returned to normal, his expression becoming stern and composed.
"Good disciple, did your Martial Soul Second Awakening succeed?"
"Yes, Teacher."
"Good. As expected of the Holy Son of Spirit Hall, blessed with exceptional talent. Disciple, release your Martial Soul and let me see it."
Pope Qian Xunji could not wait to take a look at Du Bai's Martial Soul.
Du Bai's Martial Soul had always been a Three-Unlike rod-cone, neither gun nor polearm nor club, and it had never been able to display its original power.
Now, Du Bai's Martial Soul Second Awakening had succeeded.
Not only the Pope, but even the two elders, Ghost and Chrysanthemum, wanted to see what these Twin Martial Souls would look like after their second awakening.
"Very well, Teacher."
Du Bai replied calmly, then extended his right hand.
Martial Soul AK-47 Fire Qilin, release!
As waves of golden light surged forth, an AK-47 Fire Qilin forged from gold appeared in his palm. The Fire Qilin's eyes atop the gun body shone with fierce, intimidating flames.
The appearance of the AK-47 Fire Qilin Martial Soul immediately changed everyone's expressions.
"What kind of Martial Soul is this?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan could not help asking.
"This..."
Qian Xunji was stunned. Even with his experience, he could not tell what kind of Martial Soul it was.
However, the dangerous aura emitted by Du Bai's AK-47 Fire Qilin Martial Soul made their hearts palpitate.
"Wait, why are there only three Soul Rings left on this Martial Soul?"
Qian Xunji suddenly noticed something, and his heart was once again shaken.
Everyone had been drawn to the strange appearance and golden glow of the AK-47 Fire Qilin, so they had not noticed the Soul Rings.
Now, after Qian Xunji pointed it out.
They discovered that only three Soul Rings—black, black, black—remained on the Martial Soul, pulsing in a steady rhythm.
One had to know.
A Soul Master's Soul Rings followed them for life. They could not be changed or stripped away.
Du Bai had previously been a level 84 Soul Douluo. His Martial Soul had possessed eight perfectly matched Soul Rings, yet the other five had now vanished in the strangest manner.
"Du Bai, are you really all right?"
Bibi Dong suddenly thought of something and asked anxiously.
"My wife, I'm fine."
Du Bai answered calmly, his face composed.
Little Dong Dong is worried about her husband?! Hahaha. Not only is your husband fine, but he's gotten stronger! Your husband is about to show off and shock all of you!
Listening to his inner thoughts and seeing Du Bai's calm, unruffled expression.
Bibi Dong truly wanted to smack him on the head. He was pretending to be so composed.
Still, it was good as long as Du Bai was fine. Next, she would just watch how he showed off. Heh.
"Good disciple, what is going on? Tell me the entire awakening process in detail."
Qian Xunji asked.
"Fine. It happened like this, Teacher..."
Du Bai embellished the story of his Martial Soul awakening from beginning to end.
At that moment, the expressions of all four people present, including the Pope, became strange.
"What?! Du Bai, you're saying that Dong'er has always been a knot in your heart?"
"If you didn't marry Dong'er, you might never reach Titled Douluo in this lifetime!"
"It was precisely because your bold confession of love succeeded this time that you broke through the Shackles in your heart, triggered the Martial Soul Second Awakening, and advanced your Soul Power further?!"
Qian Xunji spoke with a strange expression.
