Would You Take Me as Your Master?

After recovering from their daze, the three Cardinal Archbishops stared at Ling Chang'an with burning eyes, like a pack of old lechers.

"Would you be willing to join Spirit Hall Academy?"

"Would you be willing to join the Hall of Elders?"

"Would you be willing to come with me to meet the Pope?"

The three Cardinal Archbishops spoke almost simultaneously, yet each said something different. This represented their respective positions!

One was in charge of Spirit Hall Academy, one belonged to the Hall of Elders, and one served at the Pope's side.

To be honest, Ling Chang'an had not expected that merely revealing his twin martial souls would make three Cardinal Archbishops so excited. Still, the effect seemed rather good. Twin martial souls truly held a great advantage.

The three Cardinal Archbishops exchanged glances. Then the leader among them said to the Plain-Clothed Attendant, "Test this young friend's Soul Power first."

The Plain-Clothed Attendant naturally did not dare say anything more. He properly took out a crystal ball for testing Soul Power and gestured for Ling Chang'an to place his hand on it.

As the crystal ball radiated light in every direction, Ling Chang'an's Soul Power was revealed to everyone. Without question, level ten—Innate Full Soul Power!

Twin martial souls of terrifying power and Innate Full Soul Power—these two titles combined were enough to leave everyone present, including the three Cardinal Archbishops, nearly breathless.

Just as the three Cardinal Archbishops were about to fight over him, a gentle breeze swept through the hall. Then a dark figure suddenly appeared at its center.

He was a tall man dressed in dark robes, ghostlike in appearance, and his aura seemed extremely elusive.

"The Pope wishes to meet this child with twin martial souls. I'll take him with me. Continue the Martial Soul Awakening."

As soon as the figure finished speaking, Ling Chang'an felt himself being lifted up. The scenery around him kept changing, and before long, he found himself in an even more sacred hall.

This hall was not much larger than the previous one, but its surrounding decorations, the soft crimson carpet beneath his feet, and the ten-meter-tall doors behind it all proclaimed its status!

"Don't be nervous later. After hearing that you possess twin martial souls, the Pope was quite impressed," Ghost, the ghostlike figure who had brought Ling Chang'an here, reminded him.

Others might have merely been shocked by Ling Chang'an's twin martial souls, but at Ghost's level, they knew far more. Twin martial souls represented far more than simply having an extra martial soul.

This was the benefit of awakening in Spirit City. As long as your talent was high enough and great enough, you would immediately draw the attention of powerful figures.

Of course, Ling Chang'an was the first person to attract the Pope's attention and prompt an immediate response!

Ling Chang'an was mentally mature, so he was naturally not too frightened. Yet the excitement in his heart was unavoidable. Who would have thought that he would get to meet that legendary woman so soon?

Just as Ling Chang'an's thoughts ran wild, he suddenly heard a steady set of footsteps. Looking up, he saw a woman holding a scepter approaching from the other side of the hall.

The moment Ling Chang'an saw her, only one sentence remained in his heart: To hell with Shrek. Long live Spirit Hall!

What kind of woman was she? The solemn yet luxurious purple papal robe perfectly highlighted her nobility, while her finely defined features were exquisite to the extreme!

She had the face of a woman in her twenties, the allure of a woman in her thirties, and the maturity of a woman in her forties!

Her skin appeared delicate and flawless, as though not a single pore could be seen on her face. The moment she appeared, she naturally gave off an air of nobility. Combined with her slightly curled hair, she was simply breathtakingly beautiful!

Ling Chang'an, who possessed a soul in his twenties, admitted that at this moment, he had fallen for her. Completely and utterly!

The woman calmly walked to the papal throne in the hall and sat down. Her gemstone-like eyes met Ling Chang'an's as he watched her, and Bibi Dong could not help nodding lightly.

Anyone would praise beautiful things upon seeing them, and Bibi Dong was no exception. It had to be said that Ling Chang'an's appearance was truly outstanding.

"What is your name?"

Bibi Dong's ethereal yet imposing voice rang out.

Ling Chang'an first bowed respectfully, then answered with composed grace and a trace of "nervousness," "Your esteemed Holiness, I am Ling Chang'an. Chang'an, as in everlasting peace."

It was Bibi Dong's first time hearing someone introduce their name like that, and she found it rather interesting. She asked as gently as possible, "I heard that you possess twin martial souls. May I take a look?"

Ling Chang'an obediently nodded. He first spread open his right hand, and a black Pangu Axe slowly emerged. Then he opened his left hand, and the ancient Eastern Emperor Bell gradually appeared as well.

To be honest, Ling Chang'an had not expected his martial souls to be this powerful. The Pangu Axe and the Eastern Emperor Bell—who in Chinese mythology did not know the status of these two divine artifacts?

Even if Ling Chang'an were beaten to death, he would never have imagined that his martial souls would be these two ancient divine artifacts!

As the Pangu Axe and Eastern Emperor Bell appeared, the suppressive pressure of their martial souls emerged as well. However, Ghost and Bibi Dong were both Titled Douluo-level experts, so they did not fear it. Still, their surprise was inevitable.

"Ding. You showed off your martial souls before Bibi Dong and Ghost. Points +33."

As expected of two Titled Douluo. They gave dozens of points at a time. When he had revealed his twin martial souls in the previous hall, those people had only given him single-digit points.

"Twin martial souls, and both are of extremely high quality, with different focuses. Not bad!"

Bibi Dong rose from her chair and nodded in satisfaction.

Her two martial souls were of the same type. Compared to hers, Ling Chang'an's two martial souls had even greater potential.

"Can you tell me what effects your two martial souls have?" Bibi Dong continued, though there was now a hint more excitement in her voice.

"Your Holiness, this axe of mine is called the Pangu Axe. It is an offensive martial soul. This bell is called the Eastern Emperor Bell. It is a defensive martial soul."

Following the information he had received in his mind, Ling Chang'an gave a half-true, half-false answer.

The Pangu Axe truly was an offensive martial soul, but aside from defense, the Eastern Emperor Bell possessed another, even more terrifying ability: Space Break!

However, Ling Chang'an had no intention of telling anyone about Space Break for the time being. His plan was to use it as a trump card!

Bibi Dong nodded. "One for offense and one for defense. Though they lack other traits, when offense and defense reach the extreme, they become immensely terrifying as well. Tell me, would you be willing to take me as your master?"
