You Have Twin Martial Souls Too? The Influence of Divine Sense
"You said..."
"His name was..."
"Yu Xiaogang?"
At the sound of that name, Bibi Dong's expression visibly fell still for a moment. Astonishment appeared on her face, and a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes.
But she quickly composed herself again.
"Yes!"
"Yu Xiaogang, the one who calls himself Grandmaster at Nuoding Academy."
Tang Wulin nodded earnestly and spoke frankly.
"Your teacher knows about this now."
Bibi Dong took a deep breath and patted him on the head. A tangle of complicated feelings welled up in her heart as she spoke slowly.
"Yes!"
Tang Wulin answered, watching the expression of the person before him. At last, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He had brought up Yu Xiaogang on purpose.
After all, Yu Xiaogang was also an indispensable figure in the heart of the woman before him, who had been deeply affected by the Rakshasa Divine Sense. But from the looks of it, good intentions were indeed fairly effective.
The obsessed love fool was no longer obsessed or a love fool, so did it even need saying what form of Bibi Dong would appear next?
Everything was moving in a better direction.
"Elder Ju, I'll leave the arrangements for Wulin's enrollment at Spirit Hall Academy to you."
"And Ghost Elder—Wulin has only just arrived in my Spirit City and doesn't have a suitable place to stay yet. Arrange a residence for him on the Holy Mountain. I remember there's one next to Nana's..."
"He just returned from the Star Dou Great Forest in the past two days, so have him take care of it."
Afterward, Bibi Dong gave her instructions.
"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope..."
"Teacher, there's something I need to tell you in private."
After hearing Bibi Dong's instructions, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan promptly agreed and prepared to take Tang Wulin away. But the latter suddenly spoke up, interrupting his thoughts.
"Hmm? What is it?"
A hint of curiosity appeared on Bibi Dong's face.
The serious look on the little boy's face especially piqued her interest.
As a veteran of two generations who even knew the art of being a lackey, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan hastily used a visit to Gui Mei as an excuse and soon left the Pope's Hall.
"Wulin, now that you and I are the only ones in the inner hall, what is it you want to tell your teacher?"
Bibi Dong wore a kindly smile.
"Teacher, although I only had a single dragon-attribute Martial Soul during the Martial Soul Awakening at the Martial Soul Sub-Hall, I actually have another Martial Soul inside me."
Tang Wulin looked at her and spoke without hesitation.
"?"
"What?"
At those words, the smile on Bibi Dong's face froze. She stared at him in surprise. Don't tell her this disciple of hers also possessed Twin Martial Souls!
As the name implied, Twin Martial Souls meant that a person had two Martial Souls after awakening. Although there had been a few examples throughout history, only one had continued to develop.
And she, Bibi Dong, was the only one who understood how to cultivate Twin Martial Souls!
"Wulin, let your teacher see your Martial Soul."
At that moment, Bibi Dong could not help speaking excitedly. As someone who possessed Twin Martial Souls herself, she knew all too well the benefits and advantages they offered in the future!
"Yes, Teacher."
Tang Wulin nodded without hesitation, and immediately afterward, in his other hand—
A golden light emerged, and a plant glowing gold and blue appeared in Tang Wulin's hand.
"What abundant vitality."
"This is a top-tier Plant-type Martial Soul."
With a single glance, Bibi Dong sensed the Martial Soul's power from its imposing presence.
Unlike his First Martial Soul, this plant might not be so domineering and powerful, but it would surely progress in vitality beyond what was normal. Perhaps...
It might even surpass the Nine Heart Begonia!
But why did it look so much like Blue Silver Grass?
"This..."
Bibi Dong silently studied the plant in his hand.
For a time, the silence in her heart grew heavier and heavier. At last, she thought of the Blue Silver Emperor, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who had disappeared alongside Tang Hao six years ago.
"Wulin, your Martial Soul developed through a positive mutation of Blue Silver Grass. It has already grown into a top-tier Plant-type Martial Soul."
"But... for the time being, your teacher hopes you won't reveal the existence of this Second Martial Soul. At least, don't do so until you're capable of protecting yourself."
Bibi Dong looked at him and spoke earnestly.
"Teacher, I understand. I haven't even told Grandpa about this. You're the only one who knows so far."
Tang Wulin answered with a smile, responding earnestly.
"You did very well, Wulin. But from now on, in Spirit Hall, you can freely bring out your potential and talent in everything except your Second Martial Soul."
Bibi Dong first acknowledged him, then spoke slowly, evidently worried that he would be too cautious in the future.
But with her there, no one could hurt Wulin!
"All right, Chrysanthemum Douluo should be waiting for you outside the hall. Go with him. If anything comes up afterward, you can go to him. He is your teacher's most loyal subordinate."
"Yes, Teacher..."
Tang Wulin smiled and nodded. Sure enough, he soon found Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan at the entrance and left with him.
"Twin Martial Souls. Wulin truly is the disciple heaven made to suit me best, whether in my... whether in his personal qualities or his Martial Souls."
"It's just that I never expected..."
"Yu Xiaogang. I never expected it to be you, Yu Xiaogang."
In the Pope's Hall, after Tang Wulin and Yue Guan had left, Bibi Dong's eyes filled with an emotion that was hard to put into words. Something had clearly come back to her.
Yu Xiaogang—a name both strange and familiar to her. Ever since she had learned twenty years ago that his marriage to a woman had failed, she had paid him no more attention. Or perhaps it would have been more fitting to say that he had disappeared.
She had never imagined that, so many years later, he would hear that person's name from someone else's lips today.
So he was in Nuoding City, where there was scarcely a single Soul Ancestor. And he had done such a thing simply because a genius had refused to submit to him.
"Still, I have you to thank."
"You sent me such a wonderful disciple."
Bibi Dong's gaze finally grew calm again.
Yu Xiaogang was nothing more than a dead white moonlight. He should have been completely swept out of her world long ago.
"..."
Elsewhere, not long afterward, a figure as uncanny as a ghostly shadow fully appeared beside Tang Wulin and Yue Guan.
The man was tall and wore a mask. He was none other than Bibi Dong's other capable subordinate, Ghost Douluo Gui Mei.
"Old Ghost, this is Tang Wulin, the disciple Her Holiness the Pope has taken in. He's a top-tier genius with Innate Full Soul Power..."
"Your Highness Wulin, this is Ghost Elder. If you have any problems in Spirit City from now on, you can come to either of us."
Smiling, Yue Guan came to Gui Mei's side and introduced the two of them in one breath.
"Greetings, Ghost Elder."
Tang Wulin's gaze fell on Gui Mei as he spoke respectfully.
"Mm. Wulin, you can come to us whenever you need anything."
A smile also appeared on Gui Mei's cold face. Although it was somewhat creepy, and although others could not see it beneath his mask, the importance he placed on the boy was no less.
After all, this was Her Holiness the Pope's disciple!
What was more, with a genius who had Innate Full Soul Power, he might have the chance to see the boy's cultivation surpass his own in his lifetime. Naturally, he could not neglect him.
"All right, Old Ghost, I'll have someone clean up His Highness's residence at once. Her Holiness the Pope wants you to take His Highness to enroll in Spirit City, so I won't be coming with you."
"Of course I know that."
"Hmph, you really don't know how to appreciate the mood!"
"..."
Gui Mei gave him a speechless look. Then his figure flashed away, and he and Tang Wulin soon appeared at Spirit Hall Academy.
