Six Years Later, a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor

"Both your Martial Souls are Spider Emperors."

"They are indeed top-tier Beast Martial Souls, but neither has the potential for the Power Attack System. As for Wulin..."

"He's beyond your ability to handle."

Golden Crocodile Douluo shook his head.

Perhaps her destructive power and strength were indeed extremely high now, but at the same level, she still fell far short of him, a Power Attack System expert.

"My disciple..."

"Is naturally no concern of yours."

"Please return, Second Worship."

Bibi Dong gave him a cold look. What sense was there in handing a disciple over to someone else after accepting him?

"But you really can't handle—"

Golden Crocodile Douluo had lived this long as an elder, so naturally he was not unreasonable. He was about to continue persuading her.

"Second Worship, what if I told you..."

"Wulin has Twin Martial Souls?"

Seeing that the old man's interest had not diminished, Bibi Dong interrupted him and spoke calmly.

"Twin Martial Souls!"

"He has Twin Martial Souls too?"

At those words, Golden Crocodile Douluo froze.

If Tang Wulin had only possessed a Power Attack System Martial Soul, he would indeed have been qualified to tell her she was unfit, but Tang Wulin had...

Twin Martial Souls!

For a moment, a wry smile appeared on his face. It seemed he could no longer take this disciple, even by force.

"I was presumptuous."

"Then congratulations, Pope, on gaining such a fine disciple."

Golden Crocodile Douluo looked deeply at the woman before him. The Pope, who possessed Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power, had taken a disciple with talent equal to her own. Both were top-tier prodigies...

"Mm, if there's nothing else, I'll be going."

"Wait..."

"Mm?"

Bibi Dong turned back and looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo, whose expression was still friendly and even expectant, a questioning look on her face.

"His Martial Soul is a top-tier Beast Martial Soul, after all. I may not be able to take him as a disciple, but could I give him some pointers later?"

"Of course, I won't make him call me teacher."

Golden Crocodile Douluo asked. He was simply too eager to spend some time with a top-tier Beast Martial Soul genius.

"Of course you're qualified to do that, Second Worship. Later, I'll find a suitable time to introduce Wulin to you."

Sensing a light-attribute presence not far away, Bibi Dong agreed. If that was all, it was no great matter.

Besides... she didn't believe her Wulin would become a rebellious disciple, did she?

"Then my thanks, Your Holiness the Pope."

A brilliant light burst from Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes. To witness, or even help, a genius grow and rise would make for a fine story for him, whose cultivation could hardly advance any further.

"Mm..."

Bibi Dong did not linger. After one last look at him, she sensed the old man nearby who had never shown himself, but paid him no more attention. Her figure flashed and vanished.

"Second Brother, that's not like you."

As soon as Bibi Dong left, Qian Daoliu appeared as well. Looking at the man before him, he could not help speaking.

Second Brother was considered the most warlike of the seven worships. Although they had gradually settled down over the years, his behavior today had still exceeded Qian Daoliu's expectations.

"What, in your eyes, Big Brother, do I have to beat Bibi Dong up, make things even tenser with the Pope's Palace, and leave Spirit Hall's upper ranks in a panic?"

"Bibi Dong took him as her disciple first, after all. It's natural for me to look forward to a genius's future, and just as natural for her to do the same..."

Golden Crocodile Douluo shook his head and spoke slowly.

"Besides, rather than talking about this..."

"Come on, let's go see that Tang Wulin first!"

As he spoke, his face was full of anticipation.

The two of them headed together toward the mountain behind the Pope's Palace, finally stopping at the little courtyard. As they gradually extended their senses, the figure cultivating in the bedroom appeared before them.

"..."

"Good boy."

"What a good boy."

Golden Crocodile Douluo observed the fluctuations of Tang Wulin's cultivation, his face full of appreciation. Good, truly good.

A six-year-old Soul Master at level 15. Aside from their young lady, perhaps no one on the entire Douluo Continent could surpass him.

"He really is a good boy."

Beside him, Qian Daoliu was also taken aback. This talent might truly be second only to Xiao Xue's...

At that thought, a strange glint flashed through his eyes. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"Teacher, who is this elder?"

Three days later, Tang Wulin finished meditating and looked at the old man beside his teacher, a trace of suspicion on his face.

"You may call him Senior Golden Crocodile. He's a top expert of Spirit Hall's Power Attack System. From now on, he'll also give you pointers on your cultivation from time to time."

Bibi Dong looked at the boy before her with a gentle smile, and when she mentioned Golden Crocodile Douluo, her tone involuntarily softened a little.

"Senior Golden Crocodile."

Tang Wulin promptly greeted him, though surprise showed in his eyes. So this was Golden Crocodile Douluo...

"..."

Time flew, and six years passed in the blink of an eye.

Spirit City.

At Tang Wulin's residence, a well-figured young woman lifted her leg, pushed open the courtyard gate on tiptoe, and carefully made her way inside.

She looked seventeen or eighteen and was exceptionally beautiful. There was a faintly enchanting quality to her pretty face, and she was lovely when she smiled. At this moment, however, her face was serious.

She was Hu Liena. After six years, she had blossomed into a graceful young woman. Her cultivation had long since reached the higher levels of Soul Ancestor, and she was not far from becoming a Soul King.

"Mm, good. Junior Brother is still meditating."

Hu Liena glanced at the figure still meditating in the bedroom, a smile on her face as she muttered to herself.

She then looked happily at the fresh fruit on the peach tree in the courtyard, plucked one, and held it in her hands.

He always caught me before, but...

This time I chose a moment when he was in seclusion meditating. Nothing can possibly go wrong.

"Senior Sister."

"Sneaking over to steal peaches isn't a good habit."

Just as Hu Liena thought her plan was flawless, a figure suddenly appeared behind her, though she had no idea when. His voice reached her an instant later.

"E-e-e-e-eh—"

"Junior Brother, you're out of seclusion!"

Hu Liena froze at the sound of his voice. The peach slipped from her grasp and fell to the ground. A little embarrassed, she turned around, a faint blush on her face.

Again...

I got caught again!

"Mm... I broke through yesterday. I was just meditating the whole time, so I didn't come out."

"I've actually told you before, Senior Sister. If you want to eat my peaches, you can just take them. There's no need to sneak around."

The boy stepped out from behind her to the left, picked up the fallen peach, and handed it to her with a smile.

He was around twelve years old, yet already nearly 1.8 meters tall, with a sturdy build.

He was exceptionally handsome; it was hard to imagine how breathtakingly handsome he would become. His deep eyes were also immensely captivating, as if they could draw in a person's very soul.

This was naturally Tang Wulin.

After six years of growth, he was gradually coming into his own, not only in Soul Power but even more so in appearance.

"I just happened to take one..."

Hu Liena looked at him and spoke earnestly.

"I think you said the same thing two months ago?"

"Don't say another word!"

In the end, whether because of Tang Wulin's pressure or because she, his senior sister, was too embarrassed, Hu Liena fled.

But before she left, sensing the presence of a Soul Ancestor in her junior brother, she could not help feeling troubled. His cultivation was already about to catch up to hers!

"Who's the senior sister here, and who's the junior brother?"

Watching her leave, the boy wore a helpless smile. Then he looked at the peach in his hand, washed it, and prepared to have a taste.

"..."

"Crunch... It's pretty sweet."

Tang Wulin chuckled. No wonder Senior Sister had come to sneak a taste. Then, as he sensed his current cultivation, he fell into thought.

Six years have passed, and my cultivation reached level 45 some time ago. Once I eat the Immortal Herb before my fifth ring, it'll rise another step.

Over the past few years, besides cultivating diligently, he had naturally intercepted everything he ought to have intercepted. And if he remembered correctly, Xiao Sanzi's path of development should have taken him to Suotuo City by now...

Tang San, Tang Hao, Shrek Academy...

"It's time to go to Suotuo City."

"I wonder if that Little Rabbit is with Xiao Sanzi?"

A thoughtful look appeared on Tang Wulin's face. Although he had spent a little time with Xiao Wu, he was not so confident that he could have changed much...

He soon shook his head and stopped dwelling on it. At the same time, he left the room and headed toward the Pope's Palace.

"But before going to Suotuo City..."

A smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face. He had already made plans; he would not be going alone.

Given his current identity, since he was certain to run into Tang Hao and be served a dose of the way to death, why not bring a powerful elder or worship with him?

He asked for nothing else, only... that Tang Hao die there!

"I might as well call on that old senior."

As Tang Wulin walked, the figure of an old man appeared in his mind. If it were that senior...

Perhaps even Ring Detonation would not let Tang Hao escape.

Isn't that right, Senior Golden Crocodile?
