Bibi Dong's Summons

Mo Bai named his conditions.

What he lacked most right now was Blue Silver Grass's armor-piercing ability—and poison!

Blue Silver Grass would have to wait until he reached level 40 before it could gain another Spirit Ring, so poison was his only option.

He needed to cultivate his Jade Hand.

Only Hidden Weapons coated in poison were truly deadly Hidden Weapons.

As long as I wounded you, you were finished.

Previously, Mo Bai had only used ordinary poisons to cultivate his Jade Hand. They worked well enough against ordinary people and low-level Spirit Masters, but they were not enough against opponents of his own rank.

"Poisons?"

Hearing Mo Bai's words, Qian Renxue gave him a surprised look, curious about what he wanted poisons for.

But after thinking it over, Qian Renxue did not ask. Poisons were indeed not difficult for him to obtain; they simply took time to gather.

"How much do you need?"

Qian Renxue asked.

"The more, the better. I hope that for as long as I remain undercover, Your Highness will continue supplying me with them."

Mo Bai answered.

"Very well, I agree!"

Qian Renxue said with a smile.

These were all minor matters. As long as Mo Bai performed well, he would put more effort into having people search for poisons. If Mo Bai performed poorly, he could just get a few things at random to fob him off.

As long as he successfully talked Mo Bai into going to Martial Soul Hall Academy, that would be enough.

As for what came after, that would depend on Mo Bai's performance!

With that in mind, Qian Renxue naturally agreed without hesitation.

Afterward, Qian Renxue told Mo Bai that once the poisons had been gathered, he would arrange for someone to deliver them to him.

Within Martial Soul Hall, Bibi Dong lounged lazily upon her throne, her slender jade fingers tapping softly as though she were lost in thought.

Tap, tap, tap!!!

In the otherwise empty grand hall, only the sound of Bibi Dong's fingertips tapping could be heard. Yet she did not find the silence lonely; instead, she enjoyed it.

Until a set of footsteps shattered that tranquility.

"Your Excellency the Pope!"

A Steward from the Pope's Palace approached Bibi Dong and respectfully stopped below her.

"What is it?"

Bibi Dong asked indifferently.

"Your Excellency the Pope, a twelve-year-old level 32 Soul Elder arrived at the Martial Soul Hall Academy under our Martial Soul Hall today!"

The Steward immediately replied.

"A twelve-year-old level 32 Soul Elder?"

At the Steward's words, Bibi Dong's fingers abruptly stilled. She looked at her subordinate in surprise.

"Is it a child named Mo Bai?"

Then, a sharp gleam flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes as she directly spoke Mo Bai's name.

"Your Excellency the Pope knows him?"

The Steward below was instantly startled by Bibi Dong's words.

Because the name Bibi Dong had mentioned was precisely the name of the student who had come to enroll at Martial Soul Hall Academy today.

"So it really is that child. Go bring him here. I want to see him!"

Seeing the Steward's reaction, Bibi Dong immediately smiled and gave the order.

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Hearing Bibi Dong's command, the Steward immediately acknowledged it.

He did not ask anything else. Since Bibi Dong had been able to accurately name that student, she presumably knew him.

"How interesting. He actually came to my Martial Soul Hall!"

After the Steward left, the corners of Bibi Dong's lips lifted slightly. She found Mo Bai's arrival quite interesting.

How could she not know of someone with Innate Full Soul Power?

Any Spirit Master who awakened through one of Martial Soul Hall's branch halls, as long as they possessed a certain degree of talent, would be recruited and registered by Martial Soul Hall.

If some were especially talented or unusual yet unwilling to join Martial Soul Hall, the branch halls would report them as well.

Therefore, she certainly knew that three children with Innate Full Soul Power had emerged from that little place called Nuoding City.

Moreover, based on Tang San's martial soul, surname, and age, she had guessed that Tang San was very likely that man's child.

"Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao!"

Pope Bibi Dong parted her crimson lips and softly spoke that man's name.

From the moment she learned that Tang San's martial soul was Blue Silver Grass, that he possessed Innate Full Soul Power, bore the surname Tang, and was exactly twelve years old, Bibi Dong had suspected that Tang San was likely Tang Hao's son.

However, since Tang Hao was the one responsible for severely wounding Qian Xun Ji and had indirectly avenged her great grievance, Bibi Dong had chosen not to make a move against Tang San or Tang Hao.

Of course, another reason was that Master happened to be at Nuoding Academy as well.

Bibi Dong missed Master, yet she also dared not face him. Thus, even with two Innate Full Soul Power geniuses like Xiao Wu and Mo Bai, she had given up on continuing to recruit them.

Besides, forcibly snatching students from an academy would also harm Martial Soul Hall's reputation.

Bibi Dong had not expected that, even after giving up on a genius like Mo Bai, he would actually come straight to Martial Soul Hall Academy.

"According to Xiaogang's theory, Blue Silver Grass cannot possibly produce Innate Full Soul Power. That child Tang San was even accepted as Xiaogang's disciple, which means Xiaogang must have confirmed it. That child named Tang San definitely has Twin Martial Souls!"

"Then what about you? What will your Twin Martial Souls be?"

The person Bibi Dong was referring to was naturally Mo Bai, who had delivered himself right to her doorstep.

For a moment, Bibi Dong grew curious as well.

"No rush. I'll find out soon enough!"

Bibi Dong smiled faintly.

She greatly supported and acknowledged Master Yu Xiaogang's theories, so she was almost certain that Mo Bai possessed Twin Martial Souls as well.

Mo Bai had no idea that, the moment he arrived, he had already been summoned by Pope Bibi Dong of Martial Soul Hall.

At that moment, he had just completed his enrollment procedures and collected the Martial Soul Hall Academy uniform. He was about to head to his dormitory.

"Student Mo Bai, come with me."

"Your Excellency the Pope of our Martial Soul Hall wishes to see you!"

Before Mo Bai could enter the academy, the Steward who had previously been with Bibi Dong appeared before him.

"The Pope wants to see me?"

Mo Bai was immediately startled upon hearing the Steward's words.

Could I have been exposed?

That was Mo Bai's first reaction, considering that he was here as an undercover agent.

But after thinking about it, that seemed impossible. He had only just arrived in Spirit City and had not done anything to betray Martial Soul Hall. There was no way he could have been exposed.

It was also nearly impossible for the Heaven Dou Crown Prince to have exposed him.

With that thought, Mo Bai quickly calmed down.

He guessed that his talent had most likely caught the attention of Martial Soul Hall's Pope, who wanted to meet him, rather than his identity as an undercover agent having been exposed.

After all, if his identity had truly been exposed, they would have simply arrested him.

"Yes, come with me."

"Student Mo Bai, have you met Your Excellency the Pope before?"

The Steward nodded. As he led the way ahead, he cautiously asked Mo Bai the question.

He was simply curious as to why Bibi Dong knew Mo Bai.

"No, this is my first time in Spirit City!"

Mo Bai answered truthfully.

"Oh, then it's nothing. Just be careful when you meet Your Excellency the Pope later!"

Second update. That's all for today. Thanks to reader [King Baba] for the reward!
