The First Soul Ring

Before long, only Lin Yu and Bibi Dong remained in Pope Hall.

With other people around, Lin Yu hadn't been all that nervous. But now that it was just him and Bibi Dong, he started to feel uneasy.

Bibi Dong's gaze stayed fixed on Lin Yu, but he didn't dare look her in the eye and kept glancing around.

"What's wrong? Weren't you so brave just now? You weren't afraid of the Great Worship in the Worship Hall, but you're afraid of me, a woman?" Bibi Dong found Lin Yu's behavior amusing and teased him.

Perhaps because of the strange feeling her body gave her, Bibi Dong always showed a side of herself around Lin Yu that no one else knew—a face she never revealed to anyone.

Lin Yu didn't answer. He still didn't dare meet her gaze.

"Come here and tell me about your Second Martial Soul. How did I not know you had Twin Martial Souls?" Bibi Dong ran her tongue over her alluring red lips.

To anyone else, the sight would have been irresistible. To Lin Yu, it sent a chill down his spine.

Is she planning to devour me right here? Though Lin Yu was reluctant, he obediently walked over to Bibi Dong.

After all, there was no way he could match Bibi Dong's strength. Even if he tried to escape, he wouldn't get far.

"Teacher, you're not upset that I kept my Second Martial Soul from you, are you? I actually wanted to tell you, but when I met you yesterday, I was so captivated that I forgot.

"And today, as you saw, I didn't have a chance to tell you. It wasn't that I didn't want to." Lin Yu put on a timid expression as he looked at Bibi Dong.

In his previous life, Lin Yu had constantly come across posts featuring boys who acted just like this. Those delicate, innocent second male leads always left the male leads' wives or girlfriends unable to resist them.

"All right, little one. I'm not upset with you. You only arrived in Spirit City yesterday, after all. There really hasn't been much time.

"Now, can you tell your teacher about your Second Martial Soul?" Seeing Lin Yu like this made Bibi Dong's heart flutter.

What should I do? Xiao Yu is so adorable. I want to devour him even more. Bibi Dong hurriedly suppressed the thought. Even around Lin Yu, she returned to her usual aloof demeanor.

Seeing her reaction, Lin Yu couldn't help feeling puzzled.

What's going on? My innocent, coquettish act failed? Why did Bibi Dong become even colder than before? Though still confused, Lin Yu quickly explained his Second Martial Soul.

"My Second Martial Soul doesn't have a name. It's just a glimmer of light. When I'm not using it and only showing it off, it floats above my right hand.

"When I use it, it covers my entire body and greatly increases my speed.

"This Martial Soul can also be used alongside my First Martial Soul, and they can share a Soul Ring. But if I don't give it a Soul Ring, I'll have to create its unique Soul Skills myself." Lin Yu thought for a moment, then decided to tell Bibi Dong the truth about this Martial Soul.

After all, it was an incredibly strange Martial Soul. Its abilities made Lin Yu feel as though he'd eaten some kind of perverted fruit.

Telling Bibi Dong would let him hear her advice. Her research skills were no joke—far better than those of the so-called Grandmaster and his ilk.

"Your Second Martial Soul is strange. Most people with Twin Martial Souls can't use both at once, but not only can you use them together, they can even share a Soul Ring.

"This doesn't seem like Twin Martial Souls. It's more like two manifestations of a single soul—as if they're both part of the same Martial Soul." After hearing Lin Yu out, Bibi Dong pondered and offered her theory.

"I don't know exactly what's going on yet, but it won't stop you from cultivating. You don't need to consider giving this Martial Soul a Soul Ring until you've added nine Soul Rings to your First Martial Soul." As the first person to solve the problem of Twin Martial Souls, Bibi Dong knew how to cultivate both effectively.

"You have Innate Full Soul Power, so unlike other people, you don't need to cultivate to level ten before adding a Soul Ring. You can add your First Soul Ring right now.

"Have you decided what kind of Soul Beast you want its ring to come from?" After explaining her thoughts, Bibi Dong asked what Lin Yu had in mind.

"No. I'll leave it up to you, Teacher." Lin Yu shook his head.

Seeing him shake his head, Bibi Dong looked as though she'd expected it. Lin Yu had only just awakened his Martial Soul, after all.

No matter how mature he was, he was still only six years old. And he hadn't received any formal instruction, so it was perfectly normal that he didn't know.

"Your Martial Soul is a Beast Martial Soul, and it's a spider-type Martial Soul. Normally, the best choice would be a Soul Ring from a Soul Beast of the same type. But I haven't seen your Undying Emperor Spider mentioned anywhere in the records of Douluo Continent.

"So, you can use a Soul Ring from any spider-type Soul Beast for your First Soul Ring. Spirit City has a Soul Beast Farm owned by Spirit Hall, and it has just the right Soul Beasts for you—the strongest ones you can absorb at your current level.

"Let's go there and find your First Soul Ring." Without waiting to see whether Lin Yu objected, Bibi Dong grabbed him and flew off, intending to choose a Soul Beast for him herself.

"Your Martial Soul is very strange. It's clearly a Spider Martial Soul, but it gives off an incredibly strong life force. That's unusual.

"Still, it fits the 'undying' in your Martial Soul's name. But as a Spider Martial Soul, it also possesses potent poison.

"So there are plenty of suitable choices for your First Soul Ring: poison spiders, Man Faced Demon Spiders, Cave Demon Spiders, Death Demon Spiders, and Soul Devouring Demon Spiders." Bibi Dong looked down at the forest and explained which Soul Beasts would suit him.

"Death Demon Spider? Soul Devouring Demon Spider?" Lin Yu looked at Bibi Dong curiously.

Lin Yu knew about the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor. They were Bibi Dong's Martial Souls.

But he'd never heard of Death Demon Spiders or Soul Devouring Demon Spiders.

"The Death Demon Spider is a powerful Soul Beast. Once it reaches a hundred thousand years, it evolves into a Death Spider Emperor. The Soul Devouring Demon Spider is the same." Hearing Lin Yu's question, Bibi Dong didn't elaborate, merely giving a brief explanation.

Lin Yu obediently didn't ask any more.

After all, these two Martial Souls were a reality Bibi Dong had never wanted to face. Such a beautiful woman had such hideous Martial Souls, and she had always struggled to accept them.

When Bibi Dong used her First Martial Soul, the Death Spider Emperor, her upper body was covered in purplish-black armor, and even her face was hidden behind a carapace.

Beneath her eyes, four more tiny eyes had grown.

Her legs vanished, and her lower body turned into a massive, round abdomen. Eight thick legs grew from it, carrying her swiftly along. They were covered in a thick coat of green hair and oozed nauseating slime.

The slime dripped onto the ground with a steady series of splats, corroding it fiercely and making Bibi Dong look like a gigantic poisonous spider.

When Bibi Dong used her Second Martial Soul, the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, a dark green web pattern appeared on her forehead, and a layer of crystalline, dark green light spread across her body.

Three pairs of dark green spider legs emerged from her back. Her arms also transformed into similar dark green spears, and her lower body was completely enveloped in dark green light.

"Have you decided what kind of Soul Beast you want for your First Soul Ring?" Bibi Dong clearly didn't want to talk about these two kinds of spiders, so she asked Lin Yu what he wanted.

"I'll choose the Death Demon Spider." In the end, Lin Yu picked the Death Demon Spider for his First Soul Ring.

After all, among these spider-type Soul Beasts, the Death Demon Spider and the Soul Devouring Demon Spider were the most powerful. Either one would do.
