Bibi Dong: "Is Tang San a Twin Martial Soul?"

When his left hand was seized, Mo Bai's body stiffened slightly.

His first instinct was to resist, but in the end, he chose to endure it silently.

Because he knew that the woman before him was not only beautiful, but also powerful.

The moment Bibi Dong's soul power entered through Mo Bai's left hand, it paused slightly.

"An External Soul Bone?"

Bibi Dong looked at Mo Bai in surprise. Before she could determine whether he possessed Twin Martial Souls, she had already detected the External Soul Bone attached to his left claw bone.

Since that was the case, Bibi Dong was in no hurry to inspect Mo Bai's martial soul. She first examined his External Soul Bone carefully, only to discover that it was very weak, containing merely a few decades' worth of soul power.

"When did you obtain this External Soul Bone?"

As Bibi Dong continued examining Mo Bai's martial soul, she questioned him.

"External Soul Bone? What's an External Soul Bone? Isn't the one on my left hand a left arm bone?"

Mo Bai was immediately stunned when he heard Bibi Dong's words.

"You don't know? Even if no one in a place like Nuoding City knew, doesn't your Nuoding Academy have a Master? Didn't he tell you?"

Bibi Dong immediately laughed. She had not expected Mo Bai to be unaware of even External Soul Bones.

"You're the only one who knows about this soul bone, Teacher!"

Mo Bai answered, then could not help asking in return, "Teacher, do you know Master too? You must agree with his theory as well, which is why you believed I possessed Twin Martial Souls, right?"

"...I know him," Bibi Dong replied with a trace of complicated emotion, offering no further explanation.

After saying that, Bibi Dong released Mo Bai's left hand, obvious surprise on her face.

Because she had discovered that Mo Bai truly possessed only a single martial soul, not the Twin Martial Souls she had assumed he had.

If that was the case, then Yu Xiaogang's theory was wrong as well.

Then could it be that Tang San, the disciple Yu Xiaogang had taken in, did not possess Twin Martial Souls either—and was not Tang Hao's son?

"What about that Tang San? The Tang San whom Master accepted as his disciple—does he possess Twin Martial Souls?"

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong directly pressed Mo Bai for an answer.

"I don't know. I've never met him, but I think Tang San should have Twin Martial Souls!" Upon hearing Bibi Dong's question, Mo Bai first shook his head, then stated his own opinion.

He and Tang San were merely classmates.

If revealing it would put Tang San in danger, Mo Bai might have helped him conceal it.

But judging from the current situation, revealing that Tang San possessed Twin Martial Souls posed no danger to him.

The moment Mo Bai arrived at Martial Soul Hall Academy, Bibi Dong had known about him and had even concluded that he possessed Twin Martial Souls.

Then Bibi Dong must have long since concluded that Tang San possessed Twin Martial Souls as well.

Yet over the years, Bibi Dong had taken no action. Whether he hid it now or not seemed to make no difference to Tang San.

"Oh? Tell your teacher everything you know!"

Upon hearing that, Bibi Dong immediately had Mo Bai tell her what he knew.

She needed to determine whether Tang San was truly Tang Hao's son.

"Yes, Teacher!"

Mo Bai did not conceal anything, aside from certain things he knew from watching a few episodes of the anime—for example, that Tang San's father was no ordinary man, and that Tang San's second martial soul was a hammer.

He did not mention any of those things. Mo Bai only recounted what had happened from the time he met Tang San, to when Master wanted to take them as disciples, and finally how Master had rejected him because he told the truth.

Tang San, meanwhile, had not denied it after Master said they possessed Twin Martial Souls, and had become Master's disciple.

"Going by what you said, that Tang San is indeed undoubtedly a wielder of Twin Martial Souls!"

Bibi Dong immediately smiled upon hearing this. She truly had not expected that the disciple she had just accepted had been rejected by Master.

And the reason was that Master himself had made the wrong judgment.

It was also Master's theory that had caused her to judge incorrectly.

Had she known earlier that Mo Bai did not possess Twin Martial Souls, but only a single martial soul—and that it was merely ordinary Blue Silver Grass—she might not necessarily have offered to accept him as her disciple.

But now that things had come to this, she had no intention of going back on her word.

Even without Twin Martial Souls, Innate Full Soul Power still demonstrated Mo Bai's potential.

"Display your soul skills for me. Let me see what you can do!"

Bibi Dong then had Mo Bai use his soul skills. As his teacher, she naturally needed to understand her disciple's abilities and approximate strength.

"..."

Mo Bai's teeth ached when he heard Bibi Dong's words.

"Teacher, it's difficult to judge my strength just by looking at my soul skills. Why not call in a Soul Elder? We can have a soul fight, and that will let Teacher gain a more direct understanding of your disciple's strength!"

Mo Bai then made a suggestion to Bibi Dong.

If she only looked at the soul skills from his three Spirit Rings, they were truly unbearable to watch.

By now, Mo Bai somewhat regretted not choosing a spirit ring for his Third Spirit Skill that directly granted penetration and armor-piercing abilities.

There were indeed quite a few Spirit Beasts with spirit skills capable of penetration and armor-breaking. However, those that could make the Martial Soul itself evolve such abilities after absorbing the spirit ring were truly exceedingly rare.

What Mo Bai wanted was for his Blue Silver Grass leaves to evolve the ability to penetrate and break defenses, not merely gain armor-piercing power briefly whenever he used a spirit ring skill.

At the very least, he had only seen two such Spirit Beasts in Nuoding Academy's Spirit Beast encyclopedia: the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear and the Gold Devouring Demon Bee. Both were far too difficult to find.

That was why Mo Bai had first chosen to solve his lack of Soul Power with his Third Spirit Ring.

The reason he wanted to join an academy with great strength was so that he could consult more knowledge about Martial Souls and more Spirit Beast encyclopedias.

He needed to learn about more Spirit Beasts that could allow his Martial Soul itself to evolve.

People of the Douluo Continent placed greater importance on spirit skills.

Mo Bai intended to use his Blue Silver Grass as hidden weapons, so he valued the evolution of the Martial Soul itself more. What spirit skills it possessed did not matter.

"As long as they're a Soul Elder?"

Bibi Dong had not expected Mo Bai to answer like that and asked with interest.

Soul Elders were not all the same. Both level 30 and level 39 were Soul Elders, but the gap between them was enormous.

"Mm, as long as they're a Soul Elder!"

Mo Bai nodded and replied confidently.

"Alright, then Teacher will call over a Soul Elder right now. Let Teacher see what you can do!"

Seeing that Mo Bai was truly certain, Bibi Dong immediately agreed with a smile.

PS: Another short, weak, filler chapter!

Sorry, I wasn't in good condition today, so there are only two updates.

Today, I went to the hospital for thread embedding at acupuncture points. They embedded four threads in my back and four in my hands and feet. My hands and feet are fine, but my back feels so uncomfortable that I don't want to move at all.

Thanks to reader [Western Traveler] for the reward!
