Dark Disguise

After leaving the Secret Chamber, the two headed toward a spot in the woods. Bibi Dong asked somewhat puzzled, "Zihan, what's going on with the Soul Rings on your body? And that External Soul Bone—was it bestowed by a god as well?"

"No. My Soul Rings and Soul Bone are exclusive to me. Every one of my Soul Rings has two soul skills, while the External Soul Bone has three skills. But my second Martial Soul can't generate Soul Rings on its own." After thinking for a moment, Bi Zihan did not mention the Fallen Angel. It was simply too unbelievable; even if he explained it, people might not believe him.

"Your second Martial Soul, the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, may not be a true God-tier Martial Soul, but it is extremely close to one. It doesn't matter if it can't produce Soul Rings on its own. In the future, you can directly attach Ten-thousand-year Soul Rings, or even hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings, to it. So for now, don't attach any Soul Rings to it." Bibi Dong merely smiled, unconcerned that Bi Zihan's second Martial Soul could not generate its own Soul Rings.

"Oh, right, Zihan. Do you know what age your Soul Rings are? And what are your soul skills? Can you tell me?" Bibi Dong looked at Bi Zihan. Because his Soul Rings were Dark Gold, she had initially mistaken them for Ten-thousand-year Soul Rings. But based on her theoretical knowledge of Martial Souls, she quickly rejected that possibility.

Although Dark Gold and black were similar in color, careful observation revealed a difference between them. Dark Gold had a metallic sheen, and its color was not as pure as black. However, only those highly knowledgeable about Martial Souls and Ten-thousand-year Soul Rings could tell the difference. Ordinary people would only assume they were Ten-thousand-year Soul Rings.

"Mother, my Soul Rings have no age limit. Their soul skills grow stronger as my own strength increases. I currently have four soul skills: the first soul skills, Dark Warden and Starfall, and the second soul skills, Evil Seduction and Power Descent."

Dark Warden—Darkness transformed into a prison that enclosed the opponent, accelerating the depletion of their Soul Power while extracting thirty percent of it to replenish the user's own consumption.

Starfall—Soul Power transformed into stars, inflicting wide-area damage upon all enemies and ignoring all defenses. If more than two manifested stars collided, they would produce a violent explosion and deal secondary damage.

Evil Seduction—When the user's spiritual power exceeded that of the opponent, they could use their spiritual power to lure the opponent. If successful, the user could expend spiritual power to forcibly control the opponent for a certain period of time.

Power Descent—Instantly tripled all attributes, temporarily removed the sensation of pain, and granted immunity to all negative effects. Duration: fifteen minutes. Afterward, the user would fall into a weakened state.

"Very good soul skills. You have control, powerful offense, and a boost to all attributes. They're exceptionally well-rounded. Zihan, what effects does your External Soul Bone have?" The more Bibi Dong looked at Bi Zihan, the more satisfied she became. Not only was he highly gifted, but he was also intelligent, calm, decisive, and never hesitated. If he could temper away the evil in him, he would be even more perfect.

After thinking for a moment, Bi Zihan said, "Mother, my External Soul Bone is called the Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel. Aside from allowing me to fly, it has two other skills: Holy Wing Guard and Dark Disguise."

"Holy Wing Guard: It can defend against ninety percent of physical attacks and is immune to all energy attacks, but it can only be used three times a day."

"Dark Disguise: It can disguise both myself and my Martial Soul as anything, but while disguised, I cannot use any soul skills. Otherwise, the disguise will be exposed."

Upon hearing Bi Zihan's words, Bibi Dong suddenly stopped. Looking at him, she said, "Zihan, you can disguise both yourself and your Martial Soul as anything?"

"Yes. I can disguise myself as anything, but the prerequisite is that I have seen that person before. Otherwise, I can't disguise myself as them." Bi Zihan nodded lightly, unable to understand why Bibi Dong looked so delighted.

"Zihan, disguise yourself as me. Let me see whether there are any major flaws in your disguise, and how long you can maintain it." Bibi Dong released her first Martial Soul, the Death Spider Emperor. Nine Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, and red—flashed around her body for Bi Zihan to observe closely.

After watching for quite some time, Bi Zihan released his External Soul Bone: the Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel. Twelve black wings wrapped around his body as black light emerged from them.

Before long, the twelve black wings vanished. From within the black light stepped someone who looked exactly like Bibi Dong, with even the Martial Soul and Soul Rings completely identical.

Bibi Dong carefully examined Bi Zihan's disguised form. In the end, she found that aside from the occasional flash of evil in his eyes, there was no abnormality whatsoever. It was as though a mirror stood before her.

Bibi Dong asked in surprise, "Zihan, how long can you maintain the disguise at once?"

Bi Zihan withdrew his disguise. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Maintaining the disguise doesn't consume my Soul Power, so I can keep it up indefinitely."

A smile appeared on Bibi Dong's face as she said with some emotion, "Zihan, this skill of your External Soul Bone is incredibly useful. But first, you need to temper away the evil within yourself."

"Mother, I think you misunderstand. Although I can disguise myself with nine Soul Rings, those Soul Rings are only for appearance. They can't actually be used." Seeing Bibi Dong's delighted expression, Bi Zihan hurriedly explained.

Although he could disguise himself with nine Soul Rings, they were merely a bluff to scare people. Disguising himself as a Titled Douluo did not mean he possessed a Titled Douluo's strength.

"Of course I know that. If disguising yourself as a Titled Douluo gave you the strength of a Titled Douluo, then this skill of yours would be far too heaven-defying. Do not reveal this skill in front of anyone. You must keep it well hidden, understand?" Bibi Dong chuckled and gently patted Bi Zihan on the head.

"I understand, Mother." Bi Zihan nodded and agreed immediately. Although he did not know what Bibi Dong was thinking, agreeing with her could not be wrong.

In any case, he did not plan to use this skill often. Why would he disguise himself as someone else when he was perfectly fine as himself?
