Qian Xunji abruptly rose to his feet. The aura of a Titled Douluo swept across the entire Martial Arts Arena like collapsing mountains and raging seas!
Everyone, regardless of their Soul Power level, felt as though an invisible hand had seized their hearts, making it hard to breathe!
"Bibi Dong!"
"What are you doing?!"
Under the gaze of those eyes burning with fury, Bibi Dong's delicate little face instantly turned pale, and her body began trembling uncontrollably.
It was her teacher...
The person she revered most, and feared most.
Qian Xunji's voice rang out again.
"Get down here at once!"
"Causing trouble at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's ceremony—are you trying to make Spirit Hall lose all its face?!"
His gaze remained fixed on Bibi Dong.
Every hair on Bibi Dong's body stood on end.
She knew her teacher was truly angry.
She was... finished this time.
But then she turned around and looked at the boy behind her.
Courage from nowhere instantly overwhelmed the fear buried deep in her bones.
Bibi Dong abruptly raised her head. Meeting Qian Xunji's gaze, she shouted with all her strength:
"Brother Xiaoheng will definitely awaken the strongest Martial Soul!"
"He definitely has Innate Full Soul Power!"
Besides cultivating, Bibi Dong was good at one other thing.
Reading people.
From struggling to survive in the cracks of the orphanage to treading carefully in Spirit Hall, she had long learned how to tell sincerity from falsehood.
She could tell that when Yu Xiaoheng had first approached her at the back mountain, there had been some insincerity in his words.
But when he said, "I'll take you away from Spirit Hall," the seriousness in his eyes was something she had never seen before.
So, she had rushed out.
She wanted to do something for that sincerity.
After all, no one else would say they wanted to take her away from Spirit Hall.
It was a sacred land for soul masters to cultivate, an opportunity others could only dream of...
But it was also a...
Prison for a little girl.
Bibi Dong had once thought she could only sit quietly at the edge of that cage and watch the world from afar.
But just now, someone had knocked on its window with a stone.
"Impudent!"
Qian Xunji had completely lost his patience.
He could not even be bothered to step down from the VIP Seats. The phantom of the Six-winged Angel behind him merely flashed.
Buzz—!
A golden hand formed from pure Soul Power appeared out of thin air, ignoring the distance between them as it seized Bibi Dong's small body and violently dragged her back toward the VIP Seats!
Suspended in midair, Bibi Dong was completely unable to resist, yet she still screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Brother Xiaoheng definitely has Innate Full Soul Power!"
That shout drove Qian Xunji's rage to its peak.
Compared to his initial shock, what he felt now was more the furious violation of a twisted possessiveness.
"Wretched disciple! Shut your mouth!"
He yanked Bibi Dong in front of him, his five fingers clamping around her arm like iron pincers.
The immense force made Bibi Dong's little face scrunch up in pain.
Qian Xunji did not care in the slightest. He stared fixedly at this "perfect creation" he had personally nurtured. She actually dared to defy him in public for some worthless brat from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
Even if the other party was only a six-year-old child, it still set his fury ablaze!
Amid the excruciating pain, Bibi Dong continued struggling. Gathering the last of her strength, she called out one final sentence to Yu Xiaoheng in the arena.
"Brother Xiaoheng... good luck!"
For a moment, the entire Martial Arts Arena fell silent.
Everyone was stunned by the sudden turn of events.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan members had wanted to forcibly drag Yu Xiaoheng away.
But now that the Pope of Spirit Hall had personally intervened and things had escalated this far, stopping him again would only make the clan lose even more face before the world.
At this point, this awakening ceremony was no longer something they could stop whenever they wanted.
Yu Xiaoheng was stunned as well.
His gaze passed through the crowd and landed on the girl in the VIP Seats, tightly restrained and quietly sobbing.
You've got love-brain too, huh?!
Are we even that close??
If you hadn't rushed out, these people would have only stopped me with a few words at most.
They'd soon realize that forcibly dragging me down in front of all the clans in the world would only make the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan lose even more face!
And after you pulled this... Qian Xunji is really going to go mad!!
He kept "blaming" her in his heart.
But that voice grew quieter and quieter.
Because...
I can't awaken Innate Full Soul Power.
Yu Xiaoheng knew better than anyone how much Bibi Dong feared Qian Xunji.
He also knew exactly who had made her so timid and fearful all the time.
Yet he had never expected that a girl like her would actually "go mad" in public for his sake.
At that moment, the confident smile on Yu Xiaoheng's face gradually vanished.
He had originally been looking forward to what came next.
Even a clay figurine had some temper, let alone him, after enduring years of relentless ridicule from his family.
Today, Yu Xiaoheng intended to argue back!
But it seemed he was about to disappoint the hopes this girl had risked everything to give him.
Yu Xiaoheng said nothing.
He merely took a deep breath and, beneath countless watching eyes, walked step by step straight toward the Crystal Ball for the awakening.
After Bibi Dong's outburst, no one dared step forward to stop him again.
Yu Xiaoheng had become the sole focus of the Martial Arts Arena.
Even Qian Xunji, seated in the VIP Seats, had gained a trace of scrutiny in his eyes still burning with rage. He wanted to see just what this brat, who had made Bibi Dong defy him, could awaken.
Of course, in the minds of most people present, the answer had already been decided.
Twins usually had similar Martial Souls.
Yu Xiaogang had Luo San Pao, so Yu Xiaoheng was probably not much better.
As for Innate Full Soul Power?
That was utter fantasy.
Across the entire history of Douluo Continent, how many people could possess such talent?
Amid countless gazes filled with contempt or curiosity, Yu Xiaoheng's hand finally pressed against that massive crystal ball.
Buzz—!
A blinding light erupted instantly!
Then the light stabilized, and it seemed... nothing else happened.
He didn't awaken anything??
"No!"
Someone cried out in alarm.
The crowd froze for a moment before hurriedly following that person's gaze toward the side.
Under the dazzling illumination, a small beast-like figure was slowly taking shape.
The beast's outline grew clearer and clearer. Judging by its size, it was about as big as the pig Yu Xiaogang had awakened earlier...??
The deathly silence in the Martial Arts Arena was abruptly torn apart by a shrill, frenzied laugh.
"Ha! Hahahaha!"
The laughter came from below the stage, manic and twisted.
Everyone looked toward the sound and saw Yu Xiaogang red-faced, eyes wide, pointing at Yu Xiaoheng on the stage. He was trembling all over with excitement.
He roared himself hoarse.
"Just as I thought! I knew it! You're just like me!"
"You're just like me!!"
"Yu Xiaoheng, you're... you're trash too!"
"Your Martial Soul is also a pig!!"
"You were pretending to gloat just now, weren't you?!"
