You Can Graduate Now
For the two years after returning to Spirit City, Su Cheng and Bibi Dong did not leave again, but stayed in Spirit City and quietly cultivated.
Qian Daoliu also learned from Su Cheng about what had happened between Bibi Dong and the Clear Sky Sect.
He didn't say much about it, but he had some doubts in his heart.
Logically speaking, since Su Cheng knew about the story that happened between several Peerless Douluo, he must also know about Tang Chen's situation.
So why would they disregard Tang Chen's feelings and choose to directly attack the Clear Sky Sect founded by him?
Qian Daoliu knew in his heart that Bo Saixi had a much deeper affection for Tang Chen.
After all, when the three of them were together, Bo Saixi had said that she would choose whoever could become a god.
The other person's intentions are already quite clear from this sentence.
They both knew that, as guardians of the gods, neither Qian Daoliu nor Bo Saixi had any hope of becoming gods in their lifetime.
By saying this, she was already hinting at her own choice.
However, Tang Chen was either arrogant or clueless about romance, and ultimately did not choose to stay there.
The two years Su Cheng spent in Spirit City were not boring at all; in fact, they were quite exciting.
The excitement made him somewhat worried.
Su Cheng silently retracted his previous thought.
Bibi Dong is not stupid at all; on the contrary, she is quite intelligent and learns things at an astonishing speed.
He used to view people with prejudice.
The reason why Bibi Dong did so many stupid things in the past was not because she lacked talent, but because her teachers didn't know how to teach her.
After she learned to read and study, organize her notes, and reflect on herself, her daily conduct and perspective on problems far exceeded Su Cheng's expectations.
This is certainly a good thing. The faster Bibi Dong grows, the greater Su Cheng's chances of success in the future.
But another problem that arose during this period is the root of his concerns.
Bibi Dong's romantic relationships.
Before this, Su Cheng had preconceived the idea that the other person liked Yu Xiaogang.
Because Bibi Dong in reality is like this, and the original timeline is even more so. Including after their first meeting in this Simulation, the other party had met Yu Xiaogang many times, so they obviously knew each other long ago.
But after so many years of getting along, he finally had to admit that he was wrong.
In the past year, Bibi Dong has become increasingly proactive. Whenever she has free time, she will come to see him under various pretexts, and she will even suggest traveling together again from time to time.
Although he rejected them all, the other party's increasingly undisguised words, actions, expressions, and demeanor all revealed her burning passion.
These days, he has become increasingly demanding, sometimes even coming to the Elder Hall to eat with him.
Although Su Cheng always maintained a taciturn demeanor and never took off his mask in front of her, she always seemed completely unconcerned, telling him about all sorts of trivial things that happened in her daily life while she ate.
These details were constantly tugging at his nerves.
As they spent more time together, Bibi Dong came to understand him better and better, constantly testing the limits of what was right.
Su Cheng himself was not a person without desires, so it was impossible for him to be indifferent to Bibi Dong.
"This can't go on any longer."
In the Star Dou Great Forest, watching Bibi Dong sitting cross-legged not far away, silently absorbing Soul Ring, Su Cheng secretly made up his mind.
The three years of travel and practical experience I had gained were not in vain.
Whether in terms of her mindset or her application and control of power, Bibi Dong is no longer the same as before.
Moreover, the medicinal effects of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red are still in effect.
She has now successfully advanced to level 80 and is absorbing the Soul Ring of a 90,000-year-old Spider Emperor Soul Beast, preparing to use it as her Eighth Soul Ring in order to advance to Soul Douluo.
No need for Silver Needle Acupoint Stimulation.
After cultivating the Innate Skill Second Scroll, and with the addition of Immortal Herb to strengthen her physical foundation, Bibi Dong's physical condition was sufficient to withstand the pressure of this level of Soul Ring.
In fact, given her accumulated experience, absorbing 100,000 Year Spirit Ring at this point is not impossible. Although it's a bit risky, with Su Cheng watching over her, the success rate is still very high.
There's no need for that.
Bibi Dong still has a Second Martial Soul. Once she advances to Titled Douluo, there will be plenty of room for her to absorb high-limit Soul Ring, so there's no need to rush.
She currently only has level 80 Soul Power and cannot absorb two Soul Rings at the same time. Su Cheng did not want to alert the few close Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Time passed by, second by second.
An hour later, Bibi Dong slowly opened her eyes, her Eighth Soul Ring beneath her feet dark and deep.
She finally succeeded in advancing to the Soul Douluo level.
"Congratulations."
Su Cheng's voice also carried a hint of joy as he looked at Bibi Dong and spoke softly, slowly walking to her side.
Bibi Dong first silently sensed the extent of her current improvement, then looked up at Su Cheng.
Those usually delicate and bright eyes suddenly appeared somewhat hazy at this moment, and patches of red flushed off the fair skin at the corners of her eyes, making her look exceptionally alluring and exuding a stunning Charm.
At this moment, her blurry eyes seemed to be filled with layers of mist, and Sisi traces of purple light shone through them.
"Cheng Xue, thank you."
As she spoke, she lunged forward and crashed into Su Cheng's arms.
Bibi Dong wasn't very tall; she was a full head shorter than Su Cheng.
But she has a great figure, with perfect proportions of a curvy figure.
At this moment, her full, firm breasts pressed tightly against Su Cheng's body, and the soft touch made his heart flutter.
At the same time, a pair of soft, slender hands stroked his back.
"Bibi Dong, have you gone mad?!"
Su Cheng reprimanded in a low voice, then quickly reached out and pressed Bibi Dong's shoulder, pushing her away.
She used Soul Skill, and it was an extremely rare mental Soul Skill; otherwise, Su Cheng wouldn't have been able to be ambushed by her.
The purple halos resembling spiderwebs in those eyes were a sign that the Soul Skill was about to be activated.
This kind of Soul Skill cannot restrain Su Cheng.
With just a single sword intent, one could easily shatter the spiderweb formed by the opponent's Spiritual Power.
But at this moment, Bibi Dong was completely unguarded.
He could certainly resolve it instantly with violence.
The price would be that Bibi Dong's spirit would suffer a severe blow, and even the foundation of her soul would be damaged.
Helpless, Su Cheng could only suppress his instinct to retaliate and use his physical strength to push her shoulder.
But at this moment, Bibi Dong used a lot of strength, and stretched out her arms to wrap around his waist, her cheek pressed against his chest, and a fragrance wafted from her hair.
"Don't move, just for a little while, just for a little while..."
Upon hearing this, Su Cheng paused, but then exerted even greater force, no longer caring whether he would hurt the other party. With a surge of Soul Power, he separated the two.
Looking at Bibi Dong standing in front of him, her face flushed and still breathing softly.
His brows furrowed tightly. "Bibi Dong, what are you trying to do!"
"I..."
Bibi Dong opened her mouth, then suddenly raised her arm and reached towards the mask on Su Cheng's face.
But the next moment, Su Cheng tightly grasped that hand.
"..." Su Cheng didn't say anything more, but just stared at her silently.
"I... I just wanted to see what you look like," Bibi Dong said in a low voice, flustered by his gaze.
After a long while, Su Cheng released his hand and sighed softly.
"Now that you have cultivated to the Soul Douluo level, your knowledge is also quite extensive. I have passed on the Innate Skill to you, and there is nothing more I can teach you. Next, I will travel across the continent. You should return to Spirit City and cultivate diligently on your own."
"What?" Bibi Dong was taken aback at first, then her eyes widened slightly and she hurriedly said, "I can accompany you."
"No need." Su Cheng shook his head. "Now is not the time for you to relax. What you need is to cultivate to the Titled Douluo as soon as possible."
"I can't do it on my own. There are many things I don't understand, and I need your guidance." Bibi Dong's voice was pleading. "Besides, it's better if we're together so we can look out for each other. Although you are very strong, as you said, there are many talented people on the continent, and you will inevitably encounter dangers on your own."
"..."
Seeing Su Cheng remain silent, she continued, "By the way, didn't you say you'd need my help sometime? If I can get promoted sooner, I can help you accomplish what you want to do sooner, right?"
"..." Su Cheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he said seriously, "That's precisely why you should work harder on your own. If we're together, it will only slow down your cultivation progress. As I just said, I have nothing more to teach you."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong stared at him blankly for a moment before whispering, "You're trying to avoid me."
Su Cheng didn't offer any further explanation or rebuttal; he simply turned his head away, avoiding the other person's gaze.
It's good that Bibi Dong realized this.
The relationship between the two of them really can't go any further.
"You don't need to do this. I won't do that again." Bibi Dong reached out and grabbed his sleeve, explaining somewhat flusteredly, "It's because of the Soul Ring. After the advancement, my mind was a bit confused. It was just a momentary impulse."
"... When you reach Level 90, come find me at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well." Su Cheng patted Bibi Dong's arm, signaling her to let go. "At that time, I will help you find Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and also help you attach Soul Ring to your Second Martial Soul."
What he just said was true. Bibi Dong's cultivation is now on the right track, and her knowledge is rich enough that even without his guidance, she can still cultivate step by step to become Titled Douluo.
Moreover, the other party's advancement speed was slower than he had initially expected. Even with the aid of cultivation techniques and Immortal Herb, without the blessing of divine power, Soul Douluo could only increase their Soul Power by one level at most per year.
If we continue to stay together like this, we'll be spending too much time together.
