After recovering from their daze, the three Cardinal Archbishops stared at Ling Chang'an with burning eyes, like a pack of dirty old men.
"Are you willing to join Spirit Hall Academy?"
"Are you willing to join the Hall of Elders?"
"Are you willing to come with me to see the Pope?"
The three Cardinal Archbishops spoke at the same time, yet each said something different. This represented their respective positions!
One was the person in charge of Spirit Hall Academy, one belonged to the Hall of Elders, and one served by the Pope's side.
To be honest, Ling Chang'an had not expected merely revealing his Twin Martial Souls to make the three Cardinal Archbishops so excited. Still, judging by the situation, the effect was quite good. Twin Martial Souls truly held a tremendous advantage.
The three Cardinal Archbishops exchanged glances, then the leader said to the Plain-Clothed Attendant, "Test this young friend's Soul Power first."
The Plain-Clothed Attendant naturally did not dare say anything unnecessary. 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 shone brilliantly, Ling Chang'an's Soul Power was revealed to everyone. Without question, Level Ten—Innate Full Soul Power!
The terrifyingly powerful Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power—these two titles combined were enough to make everyone present, including the three Cardinal Archbishops, feel as though they could barely breathe.
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 in the center of the great hall.
He was a tall man dressed in dark clothes, ghostlike in appearance, and his aura seemed especially elusive and unpredictable.
"His Holiness wishes to meet this child with Twin Martial Souls. I'll take him away. Continue the Martial Soul Awakening."
As soon as the figure finished speaking, Ling Chang'an felt himself being lifted up. The scenery around him shifted continuously, and before long, he found himself inside an even more sacred hall.
This hall was not much larger than the previous one, but the decorations around it, the soft red carpet beneath his feet, and the towering gate behind them that stood nearly ten meters high all proclaimed the status of this hall!
"Don't be nervous later. After hearing that you possess Twin Martial Souls, the Pope has taken quite a liking to you." At that moment, the ghostly figure who had brought Ling Chang'an here, Ghost, reminded him from beside him.
Others might have merely been shocked that Ling Chang'an possessed Twin Martial Souls, but at Ghost's level, they knew much more. Twin Martial Souls represented far more than simply having one extra Martial Soul.
This was the advantage of awakening in Spirit City. As long as your talent was great enough, you would immediately draw the attention of powerful figures.
Of course, Ling Chang'an was still the first person to attract the Pope's attention and prompt an immediate response!
Ling Chang'an was mentally mature, so he was not particularly afraid. Still, he could not avoid feeling excited inside. Who would have thought he would get to meet that legendary woman so soon!
Just as Ling Chang'an's thoughts were running wild, he suddenly heard a series of calm footsteps. Looking up, he saw a woman holding a scepter walking over from the other side of the hall.
The first thought that came to Ling Chang'an's mind when he saw her was: Screw Shrek, long live Spirit Hall!
What kind of woman was this? The solemn yet luxurious purple papal robe suited her perfectly, setting off her noble bearing, while her beautifully defined features were exquisite to the extreme!
She had the face of a woman in her twenties, the charm of a woman in her thirties, and the maturity of a woman in her forties!
Her skin was delicate and smooth, 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 the soul of someone in his twenties, admitted that at this moment, he had fallen for her. Completely fallen for her!
The woman unhurriedly walked to the papal throne in the hall and sat down. Then her gemlike eyes met Ling Chang'an's, who was staring at her, and Bibi Dong could not help but nod slightly.
Anyone who saw something beautiful would praise it, and Bibi Dong was no exception. It had to be said that Ling Chang'an's appearance was truly exceptional.
"What is your name?"
Bibi Dong's voice rang out, ethereal yet majestic.
Ling Chang'an first respectfully bowed, then answered with a composed manner and a hint of "nervousness," "Reporting to the esteemed Pope, my name is Ling Chang'an. Chang'an as in everlasting peace."
It was the first time Bibi Dong had heard someone introduce their name this way, and she found it rather interesting. Keeping her tone as gentle as possible, she asked, "I heard you possess Twin Martial Souls. May I have a look?"
Ling Chang'an obediently nodded. He first spread open his right hand, and a black Pangu Axe slowly appeared. Then he spread open his left hand, and the ancient Eastern Emperor Bell gradually emerged as well.
To be honest, Ling Chang'an had not expected his Martial Souls to be so formidable. The Pangu Axe and the Eastern Emperor Bell—who in Chinese mythology did not know the status of these two divine artifacts?
Even if he were beaten to death, Ling Chang'an 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 were not afraid. Even so, surprise was unavoidable.
Ding! You showed off using your Martial Souls in front of Bibi Dong and Ghost. Points +33.
As expected of two Titled Douluo. They gave dozens of points at a time. When he 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. Two Martial Souls with different strengths—excellent!"
Bibi Dong rose from her chair and nodded in satisfaction.
Her two Martial Souls were of the same type. In comparison, Ling Chang'an's two Martial Souls held even greater potential than hers.
"Can you tell me what effects your two Martial Souls possess?" Bibi Dong continued, though there was now a trace more excitement in her words.
"Reporting to the Pope, this axe of mine is called the Pangu Axe. It is an attack-type Martial Soul. This bell is called the Eastern Emperor Bell. It is a defense-type Martial Soul."
Following the information he had received in his mind, Ling Chang'an gave a half-true, half-false answer.
The Pangu Axe was indeed an attack-type Martial Soul, but apart from defense, the Eastern Emperor Bell possessed another, even more terrifying ability: space-breaking!
However, Ling Chang'an had no intention of telling anyone about the space-breaking ability for now. He planned to use it as a trump card!
Bibi Dong nodded. "One for attack and one for defense. Though they lack other special qualities, when offense and defense are taken to their extremes, they become extraordinarily terrifying as well. Tell me, are you willing to take me as your master?"
