Four years later, in a secret chamber of Spirit Hall, an extraordinarily handsome youth over 1.9 meters tall sat cross-legged in meditation. He cultivated while wearing a 2,000-jin blue robe, along with 300-jin bracelets and 400-jin shoes.
That youth was Bibi Han. Four years had passed, and he had grown up.
"My cultivation has broken through to level 50, and my spiritual power has reached the Soul Saint level as well. It's time to go see her."
Bibi Han opened his eyes, left the secret chamber, and arrived at the Papal Palace.
"Big Brother."
A sweet voice reached Bibi Han's ears. Naturally, the one calling him Big Brother was Na'er.
Looking at Na'er walking toward him, Bibi Han smiled and stroked her little face. Four years had passed, and Na'er had grown up too. She was breathtakingly beautiful, stood 1.65 meters tall, and her figure had begun to take shape. She was the goddess of Spirit Hall's younger generation, with a Soul Power Level as high as 46. Everyone in Spirit Hall knew Na'er. As for Bibi Han, the Saint Son, he was exceedingly low-profile. He had rarely shown himself over the past four years. Many people only knew that Spirit Hall had a Saint Son, but did not know what he looked like, nor did the outside world know his strength.
Bibi Han came before the Papal Throne.
"Mother."
"Han'er, you've broken through to level 50!" Bibi Dong said in pleasant surprise.
"Mm, I just broke through."
"Good. Then I'll have Elder Ju take you to obtain a Soul Ring."
"Mother, obtaining a Soul Ring is one matter. There's something else I'd like to request."
"What is it?"
"I want to go out and train," Bibi Han said.
Bibi Dong, who had been reviewing memorials, stopped writing and said worriedly, "Han'er, it's dangerous outside."
"Yes, yes, Big Brother, don't go outside," Na'er quickly echoed.
"It's precisely because it's dangerous that I need to go. Staying in Spirit City all the time is too comfortable. I want to temper myself. Only by becoming stronger can I protect Na'er." Bibi Han looked at Na'er dotingly as he stroked her little head.
Hearing that, Na'er's face flushed red and she lowered her head.
As Bibi Dong watched this scene, her face held relief, reminiscence, and regret. Then she said, "You may go out and train, but Mother will send two Soul Douluo to stay by your side."
"Mother, there's no need for Soul Douluo. I'm only going to the Heaven Dou Empire. Aside from the Upper Three Sects, how many Soul Douluo does the Heaven Dou Empire even have? If you send them with me, there'll be no point in training. High-level Soul Saints will be enough."
After thinking for a while, Bibi Dong agreed.
After bidding farewell to his mother and his Master, Bibi Han arrived at Spirit Hall's South Gate.
At this point, the hardest one to deal with was Na'er. She looked at him reluctantly and said, "Big Brother, are you going to see Sister Xue this time too?"
"Yes. Of course Big Brother is going to see her." Bibi Han did not hide it. Although Little Xue had returned a few times over the years and got along well with Na'er, when it came to him, the two of them fought openly and secretly, neither willing to give an inch.
"No! You're mine. You can only be mine." Na'er spoke firmly, hugging Bibi Han and refusing to let go.
Bibi Han said helplessly, "All right, Na'er. Big Brother still has to leave."
"If you don't go see Sister Xue, I'll let you go."
"All right, I won't go." Seeing how stubborn Na'er was being, Bibi Han could only answer like that.
"Then let's pinky promise." Na'er held out her little finger.
For Little Xue, I'll just have to be a little dog once, Bibi Han thought.
After hooking fingers with Na'er, Bibi Han left.
Along the way, Bibi Han stretched out his hand and took out a map. It was a route he had specifically asked someone to investigate for his trip to Suotuo City. A red line ran across the map, with several red X marks beside it.
"I'll deal with these parasites myself."
A few days later, Bibi Han slowly approached a mountain stronghold.
"Who are you? Get lost! Take another step and you'll die!" a Soul Master patrolling atop the stronghold wall shouted.
Bibi Han continued forward as though he had not heard him.
"Kill him! Fire!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Facing the arrows shooting toward him, Bibi Han's expression did not change. His eyes turned aqua blue—the Eye of Truth.
The trajectories of every incoming arrow became perfectly clear in Bibi Han's eyes. He reached out and caught several arrows fired at him.
"Your aim is pretty good," Bibi Han remarked calmly.
Then six arrows floated before Bibi Han. He condensed Soul Power in his hand and pushed forward. The six arrows flew back at three times their previous speed, piercing through six people on the spot and sending them crashing down.
Only one remained. His face filled with terror as he blew a whistle and called for everyone to gather. "Someone! Someone!"
"Who dares run wild in my Penglai Village?!" The gates were thrown open, and several dozen people rushed out, glaring murderously at Bibi Han.
Seeing this, Bibi Han smiled. "It's good that you've gathered. Saves me the trouble of running around to clean you up."
The formerly calm Bibi Han now seemed to transform into a god of slaughter. Grasping the Clear Sky Hammer, he charged into the crowd. Every swing of his hammer claimed a life.
"Impudent!" A man with six Soul Rings emerged and struck at him with his palm.
Bibi Han swung his hammer to meet it. After the collision, he merely took several steps back.
"Vajra Lion Martial Soul, Soul Emperor cultivation. You must be the chief of this mountain stronghold."
"Who are you? How dare you attack my Penglai Village?!" Seeing corpses all over the ground, the man roared venomously.
"Penglai Village. Such an impressive name. But in a moment, it will cease to exist."
Two purple and two black Soul Rings circled Bibi Han's body.
The people around them gasped sharply.
"First, let's clear out the fodder. Blue Silver Piercing Array."
Bibi Han's Soul Rings did not light up, yet strands of Blue Silver Grass emerged from the ground and pierced through the bodies of all Soul Masters below the Soul King rank. Then the Blue Silver Domain activated. More Blue Silver Grass sprouted, binding the Soul Kings before Blue Silver Grass vines pierced through them as well.
"You're only level 50 and haven't even obtained your fifth Soul Ring. How could you kill Soul Kings with a single Soul Skill?!" the Soul Emperor said in disbelief.
Bibi Han shook his head. "To be precise, I didn't use any Soul Skill at all. This is merely an ability possessed by my Blue Silver God."
"My Fourth Soul Ring came from a 34,000-year plant-type Soul Beast, the Sacred Immortal Flower. The dew within its blossoms possesses extremely powerful healing effects, capable of treating most internal injuries in a short time. Yet it is also a thorny rose. Its fired petals are incredibly sharp and can break through a Soul Emperor's defenses. After absorbing it, not only did I gain an extremely powerful Healing System Soul Skill, Blue Silver Sacred Dew, but the sharpness of its petals was also added to my Blue Silver God. Coupled with the strength of my Martial Soul, breaking through the defenses of anyone below Soul King is more than easy. As for breaking free from the restraints of Blue Silver Grass, that's impossible without the strength of a Soul Emperor."
"How can that be possible?! I'll kill you!"
The Blue Silver Domain activated once more, and Teleportation was unleashed. Bibi Han's body flickered five times, bringing him forty meters away from the Soul Emperor.
This was the final ability of the Blue Silver Domain that Bibi Han had discovered: Teleportation. A Soul King could teleport at most five meters, but absorbing Soul Rings beyond his rank had increased that distance to eight meters. His Soul Power could support five hundred uses.
When he had discovered this skill, Bibi Han had been incomparably excited. Honestly, the Blue Silver Domain should have been called the Life-Saving Domain instead—reconnaissance, support, long-range attacks, and Teleportation.
Bibi Han raised the Clear Sky Hammer and assumed the opening stance of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer. "This is my upgraded Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer. Take it. Remember to repent properly after you descend into hell, and be a good person in your next life."
Bibi Han began swinging the Clear Sky Divine Hammer. With every swing, a Clear Sky Hammer formed from Soul Power smashed forward. The attack power of the Soul Power Clear Sky Hammer was exactly the same as the force with which the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand had been swung. This was an ability he had continuously explored and discovered after gaining the Clear Sky Hammer's recognition.
He poured Soul Power into the Clear Sky Hammer, coating its surface with Soul Power and allowing the hammer to absorb it and grow larger. Then he drew a portion of the Soul Power out from within, shrinking the Clear Sky Hammer. At the instant it shrank, he swung it rapidly, and the image of a Clear Sky Hammer formed from Soul Power would fly directly outward. It was somewhat similar to the Clear Sky Hammer's enlargement and shrinking, but the principles were completely different. The Clear Sky Hammer's shrinking merely freely reduced its weight from the original five hundred jin, making it easier to swing. Enlarging it could only restore it to five hundred jin; to make it heavier still, one had to pour in Soul Power.
The principle behind this upgraded Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer was not difficult, but it required extremely powerful control and consumed a great deal of Soul Power. Other Clear Sky Hammers should be capable of it as well, but Bibi Han doubted they would discover it.
Ever since Tang Chen left, the Clear Sky Sect had never innovated again. The only exception was combining Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track with the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, which could not really be considered innovation.
It was precisely because practicing and improving this Self-Created Soul Skill had taken so much time that Bibi Han had only increased by eleven levels in four years.
