Facing Ye Qifeng, Bibi Dong was overjoyed. The corners of her lips lifted slightly, revealing a gentle smile.
In a soft voice, she asked, "Child, are you willing to take me as your teacher?"
"Take a teacher?" Ye Qifeng looked at her in surprise.
He had not expected Bibi Dong to want to accept him as her disciple.
"Mhm!" Bibi Dong nodded. "I am Bibi Dong, the Pope of Spirit Hall. The place beneath your feet is the Pope Palace. Elder Gui, who brought you here just now, must have already introduced it to you."
Seeing Ye Qifeng staring at her with wide eyes, Bibi Dong continued:
"I know your name is Ye Qifeng, so I'll call you Xiao Feng."
"Speaking of which, Xiao Feng, you and I share quite a deep bond."
"Back then, I was the one who brought you back to Spirit Hall. But because of certain matters, I could only leave you in the care of the Orphanage."
"You were still young then, so you probably didn't know about these things."
"If you are willing, I hope you will call me Teacher. I will nurture you with Spirit Hall's finest resources."
After speaking, Bibi Dong looked at Ye Qifeng expectantly, waiting for his answer.
Ye Qifeng actually knew everything Bibi Dong had mentioned. He was not truly a child, after all.
Still, becoming Bibi Dong's disciple seemed quite good.
With the status of the Pope's disciple, many things would benefit him in the future. It would also be much more convenient for the things he wanted to do later on.
Taking her as his teacher brought only benefits and no drawbacks.
Having made up his mind, Ye Qifeng immediately performed the disciple's bow. "Teacher!"
"Good, good, good!"
Seeing Ye Qifeng agree, Bibi Dong was delighted. "Xiao Feng, from today onward, you are my second disciple."
"You and Nana are childhood sweethearts, so you should know that she is also my disciple. From now on, Nana will be your senior sister."
"However, you cannot see Nana right now. I arranged for her to cultivate in Spirit Hall's exclusive Secret Realm."
Hearing news of Hu Liena, Ye Qifeng's eyes lit up, and he could not help asking, "Teacher, when will Nana return?"
"She will be back in a couple of days."
Bibi Dong smiled. "You have not tested your Innate Soul Power Level yet, have you? Let us first test your Innate Soul Power, then Teacher will take a look at your Martial Soul."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bibi Dong brushed her jade-like hand across the Soul Tool jade bracelet on her wrist. A blue crystal ball appeared, supported by pale violet Soul Power as it floated above her palm.
Faint streams of blue light flowed across the surface of the crystal ball.
It was several times larger than the Soul Power Crystal Ball used during the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony at the Spirit Temple in the West District.
"This is a Soul Power Crystal Ball, specially used to accurately measure one's Soul Power Level. You should have seen one when you awakened your Martial Soul."
"It will emit different lights according to the detected Soul Power Level. The higher the Soul Power Level, the brighter its glow."
"However, the one in Teacher's hand can detect Soul Power up to Level 70."
After explaining the functions of the Soul Power Crystal Ball, Bibi Dong held it out before Ye Qifeng.
"Come, Xiao Feng. Place both hands on the Soul Power Crystal Ball. It will automatically identify the Innate Soul Power Level contained within your body."
Ye Qifeng had originally wanted to tell Bibi Dong that Qian Daoliu had already checked it for him, but Bibi Dong moved too quickly, and he did not want to dampen her enthusiasm.
Since Bibi Dong wanted to see it, he naturally would not refuse.
Ye Qifeng then extended both hands and placed them atop the Soul Power Crystal Ball.
The next moment, the crystal ball instantly shone with dazzling light.
"Innate Soul Power Level 20!"
Bibi Dong cried out. Her expression froze for an instant, and her pale violet eyes became slightly unfocused.
She stared fixedly at Ye Qifeng.
"It is actually the same as that detestable child of the Qian Family, Qian Renxue."
"Xiao Feng, release your Martial Soul and let Teacher take a look." Bibi Dong's gaze grew more solemn.
"Alright." Ye Qifeng released his Martial Soul as instructed.
In an instant, a Dark Shadow identical to Ye Qifeng appeared above his left hand.
With a thought, Ye Qifeng activated a portion of his Martial Soul's power.
There was no need to hide anything before Bibi Dong, his teacher.
At the same time, Ye Qifeng repeated the words he had said to Qian Daoliu in the Worship Hall.
"Teacher, my Martial Soul is called Dark Shadow. It is a Martial Soul formed from the Rule of Ultimate Darkness. It possesses an extreme Dark Attribute and has an exceptionally strong suppressive effect on negative abnormal states. This is what my Martial Soul told me."
Once the Shadow Martial Soul appeared, Ye Qifeng infused it with Soul Power under the control of his mind. The Dark Shadow instantly expanded to more than two meters tall, then floated behind Ye Qifeng.
In that instant, the great hall of the Pope Palace became somewhat dim.
Dark black light continuously swirled and scattered over Bibi Dong's body.
"This is..."
Bibi Dong's purple eyes flickered, and the influence of Rakshasa Divine Power was instantly suppressed to an almost negligible degree.
Bibi Dong suddenly felt incomparably refreshed in both body and mind. She had not experienced such a comfortable feeling of mental clarity in many years.
At this moment, she could barely feel the influence of Rakshasa Divine Power upon her.
Instead, the sensation of comfort became clearer and more intense.
This comfortable feeling made Bibi Dong unable to resist becoming entranced. Her heart trembled, wanting to sink into it.
After a moment, Bibi Dong suppressed the comfort in her heart. She extended a jade-like hand and touched Ye Qifeng's Shadow Martial Soul, guiding her immense Spiritual Power into it through her hand.
Suddenly, the two Spider Emperor Martial Souls within her body began throbbing even more violently.
The feedback from the two Spider Emperor Martial Souls actually conveyed submission toward Xiao Feng's Shadow Martial Soul.
There was no resistance at all, not even the slightest hesitation.
Bibi Dong was stunned.
Her two Spider Emperor Martial Souls were both Top-tier Martial Souls. Even when facing the Golden Crocodile King, the Super Martial Soul of Jin E, the Second Worship of the Worship Hall, or Qian Daoliu's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, they had never shown any sign of submission.
What did that mean?
It meant Xiao Feng's Martial Soul was of a higher grade than even Qian Daoliu's.
That was right, it was on the same level as Qian Renxue's.
A God-level Martial Soul with Innate Soul Power Level 20, a Supreme Grade even among God-level Martial Souls!
After confirming it, Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes gleamed as she stared intently at Ye Qifeng.
She was overjoyed.
"Alright, Xiao Feng, withdraw your Martial Soul." Bibi Dong pulled back her hand.
"Alright, Teacher."
With a thought from Ye Qifeng, the Shadow Martial Soul instantly shrank before returning to his body.
Bibi Dong looked at Ye Qifeng, a smile on her lips.
"Xiao Feng, Teacher has confirmed that your Shadow Martial Soul is of an extremely high grade. It is a God-level Martial Soul, and a Supreme Grade among God-level Martial Souls."
"Yes, Teacher. That old man Qian from the Worship Hall came to the same conclusion."
Ye Qifeng had already learned this from Qian Daoliu.
"Old man Qian?"
Bibi Dong was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter. "If Qian Daoliu knew you called him that, he would probably jump up in anger."
"Uh... he is not that petty, is he?" Ye Qifeng smiled indifferently.
"You can never truly know what lies in someone's heart. Xiao Feng, Qian Daoliu is no good person. Be careful around him."
Bibi Dong's expression turned serious as she warned her disciple.
"Yes! I will listen to Teacher in everything," Ye Qifeng said.
In truth, Qian Daoliu was not as bad as Bibi Dong claimed, but he was not entirely a good person either. One could see that from how he had allowed Qian Xunji to act so recklessly.
There was also a reason for Bibi Dong's hatred of Qian Daoliu.
However, Ye Qifeng did not hold any negative impression of Qian Daoliu. It simply was not the right time to defy his teacher.
