Shared Heavens from Douluo Continent

"Thousand-Year Soul Ring!"

When Hu Liena saw that the Soul Ring surrounding Dai Changsheng was a purple Thousand-Year Soul Ring, she could not help crying out.

Bibi Dong's pupils also contracted slightly as she turned to Chrysanthemum Douluo and asked, "Elder Chrysanthemum, what's going on?"

"Reporting to His Holiness the Pope, this little fellow is Gifted. His physical constitution far surpasses that of ordinary people and can even rival a Battle Soul Venerable of over level thirty, which is why he was able to directly absorb a Thousand-Year Soul Ring."

"Whoosh—"

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong could no longer remain seated. She appeared in front of Dai Changsheng as though she had used Teleportation and grabbed his wrist.

Dai Changsheng only felt an incomparably pure stream of Soul Power flow into the meridians in his palm. It was not withdrawn by Bibi Dong until his meridians began to ache from swelling.

"Your Holiness, is there a problem?"

Seeing Bibi Dong's Willow Eyebrows furrow slightly, Chrysanthemum Douluo's heart skipped a beat.

"The problem is huge!"

Bibi Dong glared at Chrysanthemum Douluo irritably, then rubbed Dai Changsheng's little head and said, "This child's physical constitution does not merely rival that of a Battle Soul Venerable. It is stronger than that of many Battle Soul Sects. You should have let him absorb a Soul Ring of around seven thousand years. Only then would his talent not have been wasted."

"What?!"

Hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo hurriedly grabbed Dai Changsheng's other wrist and used his own Soul Power to examine his physical strength.

"Damn it! How exactly did that old fool Luo Dun conduct his examination? Couldn't he even determine a child's exact physical constitution?"

After confirming that Dai Changsheng's physical constitution truly rivaled that of a Battle Soul Sect, Chrysanthemum Douluo could not help cursing aloud.

To keep the innocent Bishop Luo Dun from taking the blame, Dai Changsheng hurriedly explained, "You can't blame Grandpa Luo Dun for this. It was only after I absorbed the External Soul Bone dropped by the Thousand-Year Adamant Tiger that I felt my strength become much greater."

"An External Soul Bone?!"

Bibi Dong and the others' expressions changed drastically upon hearing that, and they all fixed their gazes on Dai Changsheng.

"Good child, can you summon your External Soul Bone and let us have a look?"

"Mm!"

Faced with Bibi Dong's expectant gaze, Dai Changsheng immediately summoned the tailbone of the Thousand-Year Adamant Tiger. A silver-white Tiger Tail emerged out of thin air behind his backside.

Seeing that Dai Changsheng had not only awakened Twin Martial Souls but had also obtained an External Soul Bone while hunting his first Soul Ring, even Bibi Dong could not help feeling a little envious of his good fortune.

"Good child, are you willing to take me as your master?"

"Master, please accept this disciple's bow!"

As soon as Dai Changsheng finished speaking, he dropped to both knees and kowtowed to Bibi Dong three times in succession.

A man's knees were worth their weight in gold. Now was the time to cash them in!!!

"Good child, good child, hurry and get up~"

Bibi Dong hurriedly helped Dai Changsheng to his feet. Looking at his slightly reddened forehead, she smiled and rubbed it with her hand. "What an honest child."

Feeling the strange sensation on his forehead and smelling the faint fragrance emanating from Bibi Dong, Dai Changsheng had to admit that she truly was a peerless beauty. Her taste in men was just a little questionable—she had actually fallen for trash like Yu Xiaogang.

"Nana, come over and meet your junior brother."

Bibi Dong first beckoned to Hu Liena, then pointed at her as she introduced her to Dai Changsheng. "Changsheng, her name is Hu Liena. She is my eldest disciple. From now on, you are to call her Senior Sister. Understand?"

Building a Scholar Persona

"Hello, Senior Sister~"

"What a good boy!"

Seeing Dai Changsheng's obedient and adorable appearance, Hu Liena could not help reaching out to rub his cheeks. "That's wonderful. I've actually wanted a little brother as cute as you for a long time."

Bibi Dong revealed a somewhat doting smile and said, "In that case, Nana, you can take Changsheng around Spirit City first. Show him around and help him get familiar with the city!"

"Rest assured, Teacher. I guarantee the mission will be completed."

Hu Liena gave Bibi Dong a playful salute, then took Dai Changsheng's little hand and left the Council Hall, bringing him out to stroll through Spirit City.

After Dai Changsheng and Hu Liena left, Bibi Dong began discussing matters regarding deeper cooperation with the Star Luo Empire and the holding of an Apprenticeship Ceremony with Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others.

As the current Pope of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong could not simply take Dai Changsheng as her personal disciple with a verbal agreement.

She needed to hold an official Apprenticeship Ceremony and formally accept Dai Changsheng into her school in the presence of powerful figures from the major factions.

Led by Hu Liena, Dai Changsheng first toured several of the city's most bustling commercial streets before following her to the Spirit Hall Soul Master Academy.

Because Spirit City had few residents, there was plenty of space within the city, and the Spirit Hall Soul Master Academy was naturally located there as well.

According to Hu Liena's introduction, the Spirit Hall Soul Master Academy had over two thousand students. They were further divided into five different grades, ranked from low to high: Soul Scholar Class, Soul Master Class, Great Soul Master Class, Soul Elder Class, and Soul Ancestor Class.

Unlike ordinary academies, the Soul Master Academy did not divide students into classes according to age, but according to their strength.

For example, the weakest Soul Scholar Class consisted of children who had only recently awakened their Martial Souls and had yet to absorb their first Soul Rings. They had to begin with the most basic lessons in reading and writing.

A one-ring Soul Master like Dai Changsheng, on the other hand, could directly enroll in the Soul Master Class.

Students in the Soul Master Class not only had to study basic theoretical knowledge regarding Soul Masters and soul beasts, but also attend courses such as practical combat training.

As for Hu Liena, who was six years older than Dai Changsheng, she was currently in the Great Soul Master Class. Her Soul Power had already reached level twenty-nine.

As long as Hu Liena's Soul Power rose by one more level, she could absorb her third Soul Ring and advance to the Soul Elder Class.

According to the rules of the Spirit Hall Soul Master Academy, once a student's Soul Power reached level fifty and they had absorbed their fifth Soul Ring, they could apply to graduate from the academy.

The reason Hu Liena and the others had not applied for graduation in the original story was because they wanted to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament.

Time flew by like a white colt passing a crack. In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.

Ever since Bibi Dong formally accepted Dai Changsheng as her disciple before guests from the major factions at the Apprenticeship Ceremony, his name had quickly spread throughout Douluo Continent.

Compared to Hu Liena, Dai Changsheng, who had awakened Twin Martial Souls, was clearly more likely to inherit the position of the next Pope.

Moreover, Dai Changsheng was the Fourth Prince of the Star Luo Empire and was highly likely to become the next Star Luo Emperor. The balance of power across all Douluo Continent might even change because of his sudden emergence.

Dai Changsheng paid no attention to the outside world's reactions. Apart from cultivating and attending school every day, he spent most of his remaining time in the library, reading through the various materials and records collected by Spirit Hall.

Just as Dai Changsheng was, as usual, reading through the library's materials while compiling his new Ten Great Martial Soul Core Theories, a graceful figure suddenly crept up behind him.

That figure suddenly covered Dai Changsheng's eyes with both hands and deliberately asked in a strange voice, "Guess who I am?"

"Senior Sister, you're so childish~"

Smelling the faint fragrance emanating from Hu Liena, Dai Changsheng shook his head helplessly.

"Hehe~"

Hu Liena was not embarrassed after Dai Changsheng saw through her identity. She smiled as she released her hands, then naturally sat down beside him.

Looking at the table full of books and materials, as well as the drafts in front of Dai Changsheng, Hu Liena could not help feeling a headache coming on.

Hu Liena was also a good student, but compared with studying dry theoretical knowledge, she still preferred cultivation and practical combat training.

Hu Liena lazily lay across the desk, making the curves of her lovely figure appear even more alluring. Tilting her head, she asked Dai Changsheng, "Changsheng, you spend several hours in the library every day. Don't you find it boring?"

"Not at all~"

Dai Changsheng shook his head. "Books contain houses of gold, and books contain beauties fair as jade. Learning makes me happy!"

In truth, Dai Changsheng was deliberately Building a Scholar Persona. That way, whenever he produced useful new knowledge in the future, he could claim that he had researched it through reading.

Although there were currently only three versions of Dai Changsheng who could enter the Gray Mist Space, there would certainly be more in the future.

If there were a version of himself from a martial arts world, Dai Changsheng could share that person's memories of practicing martial arts, then openly use them under the name of Self-Created Soul Skills.

Unfortunately, Dai Changsheng could not enter the Gray Mist Space whenever he wanted. Only when the Gray Mist Space drew in newcomers from other worlds would Dai Changsheng and the others be pulled into it as well.

Otherwise, Dai Changsheng would have long since shared his massively increased strength with Hong Kong Film World Dai Changsheng and Conan Dai Changsheng.

If Hong Kong Film World Dai Changsheng and the others gained the monstrous strength to easily lift objects weighing seven or eight hundred jin, then as long as they did not encounter enemies armed with firearms, they could basically run rampant in their own worlds.

Besides helping him Build a Scholar Persona, Dai Changsheng's habit of spending time in the library could also improve Bibi Dong's impression of him.

Yu Xiaogang had also liked spending all day in Spirit Hall's library back then. Dai Changsheng's actions allowed Bibi Dong to see traces of Yu Xiaogang in him, making her feel a fondness by association.

As for the new Ten Great Martial Soul Core Theories that Dai Changsheng was compiling, they appeared to be a tribute to Yu Xiaogang, but were actually a slap in his face.

Among the Ten Great Martial Soul Core Theories published by Yu Xiaogang was one that stated that when a Soul Master absorbed their first Soul Ring, the maximum they could absorb was a Soul Ring under four hundred and twenty-three years old.

However, that theory was obviously wrong. Otherwise, Dai Changsheng could not have directly absorbed a Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

Therefore, in the new Ten Great Martial Soul Core Theories he compiled, Dai Changsheng pointed out that the age limit of Soul Rings a Soul Master could absorb was not fixed, but was related to the quality of one's Martial Soul, physical strength, and spiritual power.

I'm Feeling Really Fired Up Right Now

The Ten Great Martial Soul Core Theories published by Yu Xiaogang had been extremely superficial to begin with and full of loopholes.

Once Dai Changsheng's new Ten Great Martial Soul Core Theories were published, others would certainly compare the two. By then, it would only further prove that Yu Xiaogang was a theoretical "expert."

The reason Bibi Dong liked Yu Xiaogang was because of his vast learning.

If Bibi Dong discovered that the theories Yu Xiaogang had painstakingly researched for decades were not even as good as theories developed by six-year-old Dai Changsheng, then Yu Xiaogang, whom she had already deified in her heart, would likely lose some of his luster.

"Huh? What book is this?"

The bored Hu Liena swept her beautiful eyes around the room and was suddenly drawn to a Black Book. She flipped through it curiously, and her Pretty Face instantly turned bright red.

(ω)

Hu Liena instinctively shut the book, then grabbed Dai Changsheng's ear in embarrassed anger. "You little brat, Changsheng! You're so young, yet you're already secretly reading these Little Emperor Books. I'm definitely telling Teacher about this!"

"Senior Sister, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Dai Changsheng rolled his eyes speechlessly at Hu Liena and pointed to the large words on the Black Book. "This is a medical text specifically studying the structure of the human body. It records many diagrams of unusual human body structures, as well as data on the bodily changes that occur when Soul Masters circulate Soul Power.

"Based on my deductions, there should be certain special meridians and acupoints in the human body. As long as they are stimulated using the appropriate methods, a Soul Master's cultivation speed can be increased."

"..."

Seeing Dai Changsheng's clear conscience, Hu Liena knew that she had misunderstood and awkwardly curled her toes.

Bibi Dong, who was hidden in the shadows, nearly burst out laughing. Then, she involuntarily sank into memories of the past.

Back then, she and Yu Xiaogang had also made quite a few jokes of themselves in the library.

In Dai Changsheng and Hu Liena, Bibi Dong vaguely saw the shadows of herself and Yu Xiaogang, and she could not help developing the thought of bringing them together.

Although Hu Liena was not Bibi Dong's biological daughter, her status in Bibi Dong's heart far surpassed that of Qian Renxue.

Therefore, Bibi Dong very much hoped that Hu Liena would one day find a husband as outstanding as Yu Xiaogang. Dai Changsheng was clearly a perfect match.

Most importantly, once Dai Changsheng and Hu Liena became a couple, Bibi Dong would no longer have to worry about whom to pass the position of Pope to in the future.

Hong Kong Film World

Causeway Bay, Qiankun International Film Production Company.

Perhaps because the flow of time differed between worlds, less than half a month had passed on the Hong Kong Film World side.

Ever since Dai Changsheng shared the physique of his Douluo world counterpart, although his strength had not increased by much, his endurance and recovery ability had greatly increased.

Originally, when filming scenes that lasted around two hours, Dai Changsheng had needed to divide them into two takes. Now, he could finish them all in a single shot.

"Holy shit! Is this the legendary flying man?"

"As expected of Brother Sheng! No wonder everyone calls him Revolving Wheel Sheng!"

"Brother Sheng is Brother Sheng! Fucking fierce! Not like Brother Kwan, who's done in just a few minutes..."

Smack!

Just as the lackeys responsible for odd jobs around the film company were staring enviously at Dai Changsheng using Ah Wei's Eighteen Styles, Handsome Kwan suddenly appeared in an orange suit and slapped the lackey talking trash about him on the head.

"Damn it! Don't badmouth me behind my back. My ears are sharp."

Handsome Kwan waved his hand in irritation, making the onlooking lackeys clear a path. Then he beckoned to Dai Changsheng, who was diligently working away. "Ah Sheng, come to my office when you're done filming. I have something to tell you."

"Got it, Boss. Go wait in the office first. I'll be done in another half hour!" Dai Changsheng replied without turning around, making an OK gesture.

Fuck! What a fucking animal. You're making me wait half an hour. Who the hell is the boss here, you or me?

Handsome Kwan cursed inwardly. An unmistakable look of envy flashed in his eyes as he angrily scratched his crotch and headed for the office with Silly Keung.

More than half an hour later, after finishing his daily work, Dai Changsheng changed into a tailored black suit, put on gold-rimmed glasses that gave him the look of a refined scoundrel, and strolled unhurriedly into the office.
