Rewards

Bibi Dong received the Martial Soul Hall Academy Promotion Assessment results at once.

Seeing Ji Wushuang ranked first, the corners of her lips lifted slightly.

"Not bad."

The next day.

Ji Wushuang came to the Pope's Palace as usual, but he did not see Bibi Dong inside. After giving it some thought, he went to Bibi Dong's residence.

He had just arrived in the courtyard.

Bibi Dong's personal maid came to greet him. "Young Master Wushuang, Your Excellency the Pope asks that you go in."

"How is Teacher's mood today?" Ji Wushuang asked.

"You'll know when you see her yourself." The maid did not dare say more.

Ji Wushuang pushed open the door and, after making several turns, stopped before a screen. The air was filled with the refreshing fragrance of chrysanthemums.

"Teacher."

Ji Wushuang spoke softly toward the screen.

"I heard that you took first place in the promotion exam. Well done."

Behind the screen, Bibi Dong spoke leisurely.

"Thank you for the praise, Teacher." Ji Wushuang smiled faintly.

"However, I also heard that you used three flying swords against a Level 16 Control System Spirit Master." Bibi Dong's voice turned faint and cool.

Ji Wushuang noticed the change in Bibi Dong's tone, and his smile stiffened. "I simply didn't want to play the fool to catch the tiger. If something had truly gone wrong, it would not only have disgraced me, but you as well, Teacher. Wouldn't it?"

"That is true... but..." Dressed in a Golden Long Dress, Bibi Dong's long purple hair draped over her shoulders. Her soul-stirring purple eyes stared fixedly at Ji Wushuang as she said, "Could it be that you cannot even accurately judge the strength of both sides?"

"No one can guarantee whether an enemy has hidden trump cards, or how many they might have. Just like me—aside from you, Teacher, no one knows that I can control four flying swords at once, or that I even possess Twin Martial Souls." Ji Wushuang smiled.

Bibi Dong was quite satisfied with that answer. Her jade-like hand landed on Ji Wushuang's head and gently ruffled his hair as she smiled. "In this assessment, you defeated a Control System Spirit Master only one level below you without even using your First Soul Skill. And among all Spirit Masters, Control System Spirit Masters are considered quite troublesome."

"In short, you did very well."

"Here is a Sword Dao Experience written by the Wind Sword Sect Master, along with the method for using their Sect Protecting Sword Formation. Take them and have a look. They may be of some help to you."

The Wind Sword Sect?

Ji Wushuang was rather surprised. "The Wind Sword Sect, one of the Lower Four Sects? These things are vital treasures to any sect. How did you obtain them, Teacher?"

Bibi Dong replied indifferently, "When your strength is great enough, you can have whatever you want. Forget a single Sword Dao Experience and sword formation—even the entire Wind Sword Sect is nothing much."

"Do you understand the importance of strength now?"

Bibi Dong stretched out both hands and pinched and tugged at Ji Wushuang's cheeks.

"This disciple understands. Teacher, you don't need to say it every day." Ji Wushuang was helpless as well.

It seemed that no matter who it was.

Once they became a teacher, they all turned this naggy.

"You understand? If you truly understood, why do you still spend all day hanging around with Hu Liena and the other two?" Bibi Dong asked coldly.

"We live under the same roof. It's unavoidable..." Ji Wushuang did not even know how to explain it.

"Go back and cultivate. Tomorrow morning, I will inspect your progress. You will not need to attend classes for a while. Try to go out and play less with Yan and the other two. Do you understand?" Bibi Dong asked blandly.

"This disciple understands. I shall take my leave." Led by the maid, Ji Wushuang left Bibi Dong's residence.

He had originally intended to report his assessment results to Bibi Dong.

He also knew perfectly well that Bibi Dong would certainly have learned of it immediately.

But Bibi Dong knowing it herself was one matter.

His taking the initiative to report it was another.

There was a great difference between the two.

The promotion assessment had ended. He would not move into the Earth Class dormitories until the holiday was over.

For now, he still had to make do in the Human Class dormitories.

Although Martial Soul Hall Academy had exceptional facilities and could be considered the best on the continent—even the royal academies of the Two Great Empires could not compare—the Heaven, Earth, and Human Classes still differed from one another.

Ji Wushuang opened the Sword Dao Experience written by the Wind Sword Sect Master, along with the Sect Protecting Sword Formation, and began studying them carefully.

Bibi Dong had not merely been talking.

Tomorrow would bring another hard battle.

Unless Bibi Dong drained all his Soul Power, she would never let him off.

Spirit City clearly had the strongest sword-wielding Douluo on Douluo Continent.

Unfortunately.

Bibi Dong was on bad terms with him and was unwilling even to mention his name, much less personally visit him to ask for Sword Dao Experience.

Naturally, he was referring to Qian Daoliu.

The strongest figure in Spirit Hall, a Level 99 Titled Douluo!

Even Chen Xin's father had been defeated by Qian Daoliu in the way of the sword, ultimately dying in despair.

Sure enough.

Things unfolded just as Ji Wushuang had predicted.

The next day.

In Bibi Dong's tranquil courtyard.

Bibi Dong held a longsword as she quietly watched Ji Wushuang.

Having obtained the Wind Sword Sect's swordsmanship inheritance and needing to teach Ji Wushuang, she had spent some time learning a few of its principles.

Compared to a year ago, Bibi Dong now truly resembled a swordswoman.

At the very least, her stance was flawless.

"Master, be careful!" A vortex of wind gathered in Ji Wushuang's palm as the Peerless Sword Casket slowly opened.

"Life Slayer!"

In an instant, sword qi crisscrossed the air.

A dark green sword flash arrived before Bibi Dong in the blink of an eye.

"Clang!"

Bibi Dong raised her sword to block it. With a flick of her wrist, she sent Life Slayer flying and remarked, "Your speed has improved considerably. Is it because of those techniques from the Wind Sword Sect?"

Ji Wushuang said, "This disciple combined the Sword Control Technique with the Wind Sword Sect's sword arts and cultivated this Wind Control Swordplay. My flying swords are roughly ten percent faster than before."

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Azure and Vast shot from their sheaths in an instant, hurtling toward Bibi Dong.

"Qingshuang!"

Ji Wushuang gripped Qingshuang and closed in on Bibi Dong, unleashing the Nation-Splitting Swordplay.

The Nation-Splitting Swordplay complemented Tianzhan perfectly.

But his current level was too low, so using it was pointless.

While blocking the attacks of the three flying swords, Bibi Dong charged forward.

Close-quarters combat?

He certainly had some nerve!

Bibi Dong sneered inwardly.

Just because she was not adept at using a sword did not mean she was easy to bully.

Did he know what it meant to break all techniques with sheer strength?

Bibi Dong leaped into the air and unleashed Mountain Splitting Force.

As a Titled Douluo.

If she became serious, how could her movements possibly be something Ji Wushuang could react to?

Ji Wushuang's eyes widened as he watched Bibi Dong break through the encirclement of the three flying swords in the blink of an eye and rush before him.

"Heh!"

The corners of Bibi Dong's lips curled upward slightly.
