Bibi Dong's Recruitment

With a dragon's roar, the Azure Dragon Sword entered the world!

It welcomed this sword's first battle on the Douluo Continent!

The moment the Azure Dragon Sword appeared, no one could remain seated—not Bibi Dong, not the other five worshippers besides Radiant Feather Douluo, and not even the confident Huyan Zhen.

"Twin Martial Souls? He actually has Twin Martial Souls!"

"Twin Martial Souls, something rarely seen in a hundred years, have appeared within our Spirit Hall!"

"You fool! Isn't Her Holiness the Pope also someone with Twin Martial Souls? The Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor and the Death Spider Emperor."

"I never expected Ye Tianxing to hide himself so deeply. His first Martial Soul is the Withered Wood Bow, while his second is a sword. Does he excel at both the bow and the sword?"

"..."

Everyone was discussing it, because this was far too significant. Before long, news that Ye Tianxing possessed Twin Martial Souls would shake the entire Spirit Hall.

In the VIP seats, Bibi Dong could no longer sit still. She looked at the Azure Dragon Sword in Ye Tianxing's hand and sensed the sharp edge concealed within its blade. Ye Tianxing's gaze had become firmer than ever, just like his sword.

"Good boy! Twin Martial Souls—no wonder Qian Daoliu suggested using that Soul Bone as the prize for this competition. It was prepared for you."

"This time, I concede."

Bibi Dong gradually calmed down. She had figured everything out now. Having lost a trump card like Ye Tianxing, and as someone with Twin Martial Souls herself, Bibi Dong could not possibly fail to recognize the power of the Azure Dragon Sword in Ye Tianxing's hand.

Titled Douluo were all perceptive. They could tell at a glance whether something was good, and whether it was powerful.

"It is just a pity that someone with Twin Martial Souls joined Qian Daoliu's faction." A fierce glint flashed through Bibi Dong's eyes. Her hatred for the Angel Clan led by Qian Daoliu had reached a point where it was nearly impossible to resolve.

Qian Xunji had destroyed her, and she would likewise destroy the entire Spirit Hall, even if she had to drag this world down with her.

"Twin Martial Souls? Fifth Brother, you and Eldest Brother hid this better than anyone. We're brothers—it's not as if we'd leak it. Why didn't you tell us even now?" Mighty Lion Douluo complained in his booming voice.

"Your voice is a little too loud, so of course I didn't tell you!" Radiant Feather Douluo was as childish as ever. He slowly said, "When Little Xing first told me he had Twin Martial Souls, I was shocked too. But when I saw the Azure Dragon Sword in his hand, I discovered..."

Everyone pricked up their ears, afraid of missing even a single word.

"His Azure Dragon Sword is growing! As Little Xing's Soul Power increases, the Azure Dragon Sword gradually grows stronger as well. Given enough time, who knows how terrifying this sword may become."

"Hisss..."

Everyone sucked in a cold breath, and the temperature in the room dropped to freezing.

A Martial Soul capable of growth had already surpassed the scope of a Martial Soul. It should have been considered a unique individual existence.

But on the Douluo Continent, Martial Souls were the core of everything, so the Azure Dragon Sword could only be classified as part of a Martial Soul.

"So I reported it to Eldest Brother. He also closely observed the Azure Dragon Sword and said that once this sword reached maturity, it likely would not be inferior to the Angel Holy Sword in the slightest."

Radiant Feather Douluo's words were like crashing waves, constantly overturning everyone's understanding.

Not inferior to the Angel Holy Sword—that was the Angel God's...

"As it happened, Bibi Dong intended to offer up a Soul Bone that had just passed ten thousand years, using it as leverage to recruit the Elephant Armored Sect. After I discovered that Little Xing had Twin Martial Souls, Eldest Brother and I simply went along with it."

"So that's how it is."

Everyone felt as though the clouds had parted and the light had finally shone through.

With such a powerful Martial Soul, he was indeed worth recruiting with a head Soul Bone not inferior to a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

With the Azure Dragon Sword in hand, Ye Tianxing's bearing was completely different.

Hu Liena gradually became transfixed. Just moments ago, Ye Tianxing had only one Martial Soul. How had he suddenly become someone with Twin Martial Souls?

He had hidden himself more deeply than anyone. Everyone who joined Spirit Hall underwent rigorous scrutiny, yet Ye Tianxing had concealed his Twin Martial Souls until now without taking the initiative to reveal them. He truly was not simple.

"Twin Martial Souls, is it?"

A flash of astonishment passed through Huyan Bo's eyes, but his gaze soon hardened. "So what if you have Twin Martial Souls? You're still just a Spirit Master. Do you think you can overturn the heavens?"

Huyan Bo stamped the ground, and the Second Spirit Ring beneath his feet lit up. The entire arena began to tremble.

"Second Soul Skill, Tremor!"

The cracked ground spread like a spiderweb. A powerful current of air surged from the earth, sending shattered stones flying as terrifying pressure descended upon Ye Tianxing.

Ye Tianxing was utterly unafraid. He raised the Azure Dragon Sword and held it level, then gave it a light sweep. A streak of sword qi flashed past.

The tremor stopped. A bloody wound appeared across Huyan Bo's chest, the flesh split open on both sides, deep enough to expose bone.

"Your defense is not worth mentioning before my Azure Dragon Sword." Ye Tianxing's calm words entered Huyan Bo's mind like a bolt from the blue.

Huyan Zhen in the audience could no longer smile. He glared at Ye Tianxing with resentment, feeling that this fellow had hidden himself more deeply than anyone.

This was just perfect. Not only would they fail to obtain the Soul Bone, but even the sect's inherited Soul Bone that had originally been intended for Li'er had been given to a disciple instead.

Bibi Dong had previously intended to recruit the Elephant Armored Sect, so she arranged all of this and made that Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone the reward for this competition.

Since Huyan Bo possessed the highest Soul Power in the entire Elite Class, Huyan Zhen had naturally agreed. Who could have expected a person with Twin Martial Souls to suddenly appear? No one had anticipated this.

It filled him with regret!

Even with a mind as simple as Huyan Zhen's, could he still fail to see it now?

This competition involving Spirit Hall and the Elephant Armored Sect had long since been disrupted by someone. When the ordinary Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone was replaced with a sixty-thousand-year head Soul Bone, Huyan Zhen should have realized it.

But Huyan Zhen had been dazzled by that sixty-thousand-year Soul Bone. Not only had he suffered a loss, but he had also wasted his sect's inherited Soul Bone.

Training muscles but not his brain—who could he blame?

The Azure Dragon Sword had broken through the Diamond Mammoth's defenses. This battle had long since lost all meaning.

Huyan Bo gave Ye Tianxing on the stage one last unwilling look. After meeting the eyes of Huyan Zhen, who sat in the audience full of regret, he sighed and said weakly, "I concede."

It was within expectations. A single streak of sword qi had broken the defenses of the Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul. This was one of the Douluo Continent's most powerful defensive Martial Souls.

With that defense, Huyan Zhen dared to ram the Seagod Trident. He really would ram it!

And he had really been putting on an act!

Seeing this, Hu Liena drew a deep breath and announced, "The winner of this Elite Class Competition is Ye Tianxing!"

In the end, the Soul Bone went to Ye Tianxing.

The sixty-thousand-year Skull of Wisdom, which gathered spiritual power—having stolen Tang San's opportunity, Ye Tianxing felt rather excited.

Bibi Dong personally took the stage to present the award. Before going up, Ye Tianxing clearly saw that Her Holiness the Pope wore a very unpleasant expression, but once she stepped onstage to face the public, Bibi Dong changed her expression at once.

She approached Ye Tianxing with elegant and noble steps, holding the Soul Bone in her right hand.

"Congratulations, Ye Tianxing, on becoming the winner of this Elite Class Competition. This is your reward. From this day onward, this Soul Bone belongs to you."

Ye Tianxing accepted the Soul Bone with both hands, only to find it remarkably heavy.

It turned out that Bibi Dong's slender jade-like hand was resting on his shoulder. Using Soul Power to transmit her voice, she said, "To be honest, I also possess Twin Martial Souls. I can bring out the full power of Twin Martial Souls to the greatest extent. Will you consider it?"
