Bibi Dong slowly closed her eyes, feeling the power surging within her like a raging river.

Even without using her soul power, the mere pressure naturally emanating from her caused the surrounding space to creak under the strain.

Four golden orbs of light silently merged into her body.

Her previous soul ring configuration underwent a drastic change at this moment.

Past regrets, past flaws, all were erased.

Bibi Dong suddenly opened her eyes.

Two tangible beams of purple light shot out like sharp swords, blasting two bottomless pits into the hard obsidian floor in front of her.

This power.

It was at least twice as strong as before!

She even had the illusion that, at this moment, she could contend with a legendary god.

The corners of Bibi Dong's mouth curved upwards, revealing an extremely confident smile.

Fourteenth Place?

That was merely an illusory number.

In the face of this absolute power, she firmly believed that she was the undisputed strongest on this continent.

Even if that so-called Li Xin were to stand before her now, she was confident she could crush him underfoot.

Heaven Dou City, Tang Sect headquarters.

Tang San stood in the courtyard, hands behind his back, looking up at the magnificent scene on the Heavenly Curtain.

His gaze was calm, but if one observed closely, they could discover the deep jealousy hidden beneath that calmness.

Four God-Bestowed Soul Rings.

Twin Martial Souls evolved.

Such an opportunity, and it fell upon that woman from the Martial Soul Hall.

Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes slightly contracted, a shadow flashing in his eyes.

He subconsciously touched his left wrist, where his Hidden Arm Blade was concealed, and which also connected to his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul within his body.

"Hmph."

A very light cold snort came from his nostrils.

Tang San withdrew his gaze, a hint of disdain hanging on the corner of his mouth.

"Fourteenth Place is still just Fourteenth Place."

"So what if it evolved? A spider is still a spider. How can such a dark and ugly creature ever be considered elegant?"

In his opinion, Bibi Dong's Martial Soul Evolution was merely adding flowers to an embroidered garment.

Its inherent inferiority could not be changed by external forces.

"The so-called Number One Under Heaven with Twin Martial Souls, ranked in this position, is simply disgracing all possessors of Twin Martial Souls."

Tang San judged silently in his heart, his tone filled with a condescending sense of superiority.

He thought of his own Blue Silver Emperor, the emperor of plant-type spirits.

He thought of his own Clear Sky Hammer, the Number One Under Heaven offensive Weapon Martial Soul, the bane of all powerful enemies.

This was the true perfect combination.

One hard, one soft, one control, one offense.

This was the ultimate profound meaning of Twin Martial Souls.

Compared to his setup, Bibi Dong's two spider Martial Souls were simply trash among trash, lacking any beauty or coordination.

"Just wait."

Tang San clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with intense confidence.

"When I reach the Top Ten, or even the Top Three."

"The world will know what true Twin Martial Souls are."

"My ranking will absolutely crush that old spider underfoot, letting her know who is the true chosen one."

He took a deep breath, turned, and walked back into the house, his back proud and arrogant.

Outside Chang'an City, the eight-hundred-mile Qin Chuan.

This was a desolate Gobi, with rugged rocks and sandstorms filling the sky.

Normally, this place was rarely visited by humans, and even the most drought-resistant Camel Thorn could hardly survive here.

However, at this moment.

Two figures walked unhurriedly across the desolate land.

Li Xin, clad in a Mysterious Black Robe, remained spotless amidst the swirling yellow sand.

He walked casually, as if strolling through his own backyard.

Behind him, Li Bai carried a Wine Gourd, occasionally taking a swig and humming an unknown tune, looking every bit the roguish wanderer.

"Lord, we've arrived."

Gongsun Li, who had been walking beside Li Xin, suddenly spoke.

Her agile Rabbit Ears twitched slightly, as if sensing something.

Though the little girl was still a bit down about Yang Guifei, she knew how to prioritize when it came to important matters.

Li Xin stopped and calmly looked at the empty Void ahead.

To ordinary people, there was nothing but rocks and sand here, nothing special.

But in his perception, the spatial structure ahead was in an extremely precise and complex folded state.

"Interesting."

Li Xin commented lightly.

This method had already surpassed the scope of ordinary Soul Tools, even touching upon the fringes of Space Law.

Mozi's Mechanism Arts indeed had some substance.

Just then.

The Void ahead suddenly rippled, visible to the naked eye.

There were no soul power fluctuations, but instead, the dull grinding sound of gears meshing could be heard.

Clack, clack, clack--

Rumble--

The ground began to tremble slightly.

Then, to Li Bai's slightly surprised gaze.

A magnificent and breathtaking Steel Giant City slowly peeled away from the Void, like a Mirage.

It was a city built entirely of Metal and mechanisms.

Giant Bronze Gears slowly turned on the city walls, each gear as large as a house, emitting a grating metallic friction sound as they meshed.

On the towering building that pierced the clouds, white steam was being expelled.

Countless precise linkages, bearings, and pistons operated simultaneously at this moment.

It was as if a steel beast that had slept for a thousand years had awakened at this moment.

The originally barren Gobi was instantly replaced by this steel jungle.

Sunlight shone on the buildings interwoven with brass and black iron, reflecting a cold, hard, and murderous metallic luster.

This was the Mo Family Mechanism City.

A miracle city hidden from the world, representing the pinnacle of Mechanism Arts on the Douluo Continent.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Li Bai smacked his lips, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"Old Mo's work, no matter how many times I see it, I still feel shocked."

"Shutting himself in this hunk of iron for decades, only a lunatic like him could endure it."

Li Xin remained silent, quietly gazing at the massive city.

His gaze seemed to penetrate the thick metal shell, looking directly into the deepest core of the city.

Mo Family Mechanism City Core Control Room.

It was filled with various complex dashboards and flashing Soul Guide Lights.

A middle-aged man in simple work clothes, with messy hair like a bird's nest, was hunched over a huge blueprint, writing and drawing.

His eyes were fanatical and focused, muttering to himself, completely immersed in his own world.

Suddenly.

A red warning light on the control console lit up.

The middle-aged man frowned and impatiently looked up.

"Who is it? Disturbing me at this time?"

He casually pulled a lever.

A crystal screen in front of him immediately lit up, displaying the scene outside the city.

In the image, the figures of those two men and a rabbit-eared girl were clearly visible.
