Frostmourne

In the end, after discussing it with Bibi Dong, Mu Ge changed his identity.

To keep others from recognizing Mu Ge, he put on a half-mask as well—the kind Tang San and the others wore in the anime. It covered everything above his nose, leaving his finely sculpted lower face exposed.

Mu Ge had been handsome to begin with, and wearing the mask did not diminish his looks in the slightest. Instead, it added an air of mystery. Paired with his deep eyes, he became even more captivating.

"From now on, I'll temporarily be called Hu Ge!"

Mu Ge then told Bibi Dong the name he intended to use for his disguise. After all, his looks were no worse than Hu Ge's at all. Calling himself Hu Ge would not disgrace the name!

"Hu Ge? Mm, then Hu Ge it is from now on!"

Bibi Dong had no objections, though she gave Mu Ge a somewhat surprised look. When people changed their names, they generally either kept their surname and changed their given name, or changed both. Mu Ge, on the other hand, changed his surname but kept his given name!

In the end, after discussing it, the two of them also fabricated an identity for Mu Ge.

Hu Ge was from overseas, a Sea Soul Master who had heard of the mystery of Slaughter City by chance. He had come to the continent and voluntarily entered Slaughter City to train.

In the end, he had successfully emerged from Slaughter City alongside Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong had also met Mu Ge in Slaughter City. Because she admired his talent and knew that he was not a Fallen One, but had voluntarily entered Slaughter City to train, she had invited him to join Spirit Hall.

His martial soul was Frostmourne, a top-quality Ice Attribute longsword. Mu Ge had created this martial soul himself through life simulation, combining the two high-quality Ice Attribute martial souls he had devoured.

Its quality was slightly above high-quality, barely reaching the top tier.

Sea Soul Master did not mean that every Sea Soul Master possessed a sea soul beast martial soul. It was merely a collective term for soul masters from beyond the continent, so there was absolutely no problem with Mu Ge claiming that he had once been a Sea Soul Master.

"Frostmourne? Are you sure this isn't just a high-quality Frost Sword?"

Looking at the longsword in Mu Ge's hand that radiated an icy chill, Bibi Dong eyed him suspiciously.

"You could say that. It mutated from the Frost Sword martial soul, but this Frostmourne is far stronger than the Frost Sword. It isn't just a sword—it is also a sealed sword. There is a dragon tattoo on Frostmourne's blade, and within it is sealed the soul of a Frost Giant Dragon. Once I reach Soul Saint and can use my Martial Soul Avatar, I'll even be able to summon it!"

Mu Ge smiled proudly, making it clear that his Frostmourne was definitely a top-tier martial soul.

As for the dragon pattern on it... well... for now, it was only an Ice Scale Snake.

Even so, the martial soul Mu Ge had created himself had indeed reached the quality of a top-tier martial soul.

Bibi Dong carefully examined the Frostmourne in Mu Ge's hand and found that there did indeed seem to be a dragon tattoo on the blade.

If it was truly as Mu Ge said, then this really was a top-tier martial soul.

It possessed the abilities of both a tool martial soul and a beast martial soul. As far as she knew, Snake Lance Douluo and Subduing Dragon Douluo of Spirit Hall possessed such dual-form martial souls. Every one of them had a top-tier martial soul.

"So that's how it is. Where did you get this martial soul?"

"Won't revealing a martial soul like this cause trouble?"

Bibi Dong looked at Mu Ge skeptically. Of course, she hoped that Mu Ge's disguised identity would possess a top-tier martial soul. Only then would it match Mu Ge's background.

But top-tier martial souls were rare. Behind nearly every one of them stood a family or faction.

"No. It mutated because of an accident during one of my simulations. This is also the first time it has appeared in this world!"

Mu Ge casually made up an excuse.

"The martial soul you simulate can mutate too?"

Hearing Mu Ge's words, Bibi Dong could not help being shocked by his martial soul once again.

It was simply too versatile!

If the mutation went in a bad direction, he could just abandon that martial soul. But if it went in a good direction, that would be truly incredible!

Simulating and copying someone else's martial soul, then mutating it into something even more powerful than the original—it was simply absurd!

"It was an accident. If I had a choice, I wouldn't want it. That accident nearly killed me!"

Mu Ge explained with lingering fear.

Mu Ge gave himself full marks for that performance.

In the end, Mu Ge's disguised identity was settled: a twenty-year-old, level 54 Sea Soul Master from overseas, with Frostmourne as his martial soul. Like Bibi Dong, he had emerged from Slaughter City and possessed Divine Slaughter's Domain.

It took several days before Mu Ge followed Bibi Dong to Spirit City.

During those few days, Bibi Dong's attitude toward Mu Ge was completely different from how she had been in Slaughter City.

She was no longer as distant as when they had first met, completely refusing to let him get close, but she still kept her distance from him.

Of course, Bibi Dong explained that it was for safety's sake. Even when no one was around, they had better not act too intimately.

They should even do their best to forget everything that had happened between them.

What else could Mu Ge do about that? Naturally, he cooperated with Bibi Dong's act.

Fortunately, Mu Ge had long been mentally prepared for this. He knew that once they left, it would be impossible to keep Bibi Dong to himself, so he did not feel much of a psychological gap.

On the way back to Spirit City, Bibi Dong's beauty attracted some trouble as well.

But Mu Ge and Bibi Dong dealt with it all easily, killing every one of them outright.

"Saintess!"

"It's Saintess!"

"..."

When Bibi Dong arrived at the gates of Spirit City, the guards quickly recognized her and bowed to her one after another.

"Rise."

Bibi Dong looked calmly at the guards kneeling all over the ground and spoke indifferently.

It seemed that after arriving in Spirit City, the lofty, noble aura around Bibi Dong had become even more pronounced.

"Come on, I'll take you to Pope's Hall."

Without even turning her head, Bibi Dong called out to Mu Ge before taking the lead into Spirit City.

Mu Ge glanced at the majestic Spirit City, then followed her inside.

Knowing that he was about to meet Qian Xunji, Mu Ge felt somewhat nervous, unsure whether his decision had been right or wrong.

If Bibi Dong revealed what had happened between them, he would be dead for sure.

She definitely won't. If Bibi Dong wanted to kill me, she could have done it the moment we left Slaughter City. Killing me herself would have relieved her hatred even more!

Mu Ge shook his head inwardly, still trusting his own judgment.

He believed Bibi Dong would never reveal it.

If she did, she would not get off easy either.

Perhaps once he had grown strong enough to contend with Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong might reveal it and let them fight to the death. But she definitely would not do so now.

I wonder how old Qian Renxue is? The current Qian Renxue should be pretty adorable, right?

No longer worried, Mu Ge thought of another female character from Douluo Continent whom he rather liked.

And this woman was Bibi Dong's daughter!
