The First Soul Ring

After a moment, only Lin Yu and Bibi Dong remained in the Pope Hall.

When others were still present, Lin Yu hadn't been particularly afraid, but now that it was just the two of them, he couldn't help feeling a bit uneasy.

Bibi Dong's gaze was fixed steadily on Lin Yu, but he dared not meet her eyes, his own darting around nervously.

"What's wrong? Weren't you quite bold just now? Not even afraid of the Great Worship of the Worship Hall, yet you're scared of a woman like me?" Seeing Lin Yu like this, Bibi Dong found it amusing and couldn't help teasing him.

Perhaps because of the connection she felt through her body, when facing Lin Yu, Bibi Dong would reveal a side of herself unknown to others—a face she never showed anyone else.

Lin Yu didn't answer, still avoiding her gaze.

"Come over here and tell me about your second martial soul. How is it that I didn't know you had Twin Martial Souls?" Bibi Dong licked her luscious red lips.

To anyone else, this sight would be irresistibly alluring, but to Lin Yu, it sent a chill down his spine.

'She's not planning to devour me here, is she?' Though reluctant, Lin Yu obediently walked over to Bibi Dong's side.

After all, Bibi Dong's strength was far beyond what Lin Yu could match; even if he wanted to flee, he couldn't.

"Teacher, you won't blame me for hiding my second martial soul, will you? I actually wanted to tell you, but yesterday when I first met you, I was so captivated that I forgot. And today, as you saw, I really had no time to tell you—it's not that I didn't want to." Lin Yu put on a timid expression as he looked at Bibi Dong.

This was a trick he'd picked up from his past life, where he'd often seen posts about how such innocent, white-lotus male leads made the wives or girlfriends of the main male lead utterly unable to resist.

"Alright, little one, I'm not blaming you. After all, you only arrived at Martial Soul City yesterday—time has indeed been too tight. So, can you tell your teacher about your second martial soul now?" Seeing Lin Yu like this, Bibi Dong's heart trembled.

'What do I do? Little Yu is so adorable—the urge to devour him is even stronger.' Bibi Dong quickly suppressed the thought, even as she faced Lin Yu, reverting to her usual cold, unapproachable demeanor.

Seeing Bibi Dong's reaction, Lin Yu was puzzled.

'What's going on? Did my green-tea, white-lotus boy act fail? Why has Bibi Dong become even colder than before?' Still confused, Lin Yu hurriedly began explaining his second martial soul.

"My second martial soul has no name—it's just a faint light. When not in use, it hovers over my right hand. Once activated, it covers my entire body, greatly increasing my speed. Moreover, this martial soul can be used together with my first one, sharing the same spirit rings. However, if I don't attach spirit rings to it, the skills unique to this martial soul need to be created by myself." Lin Yu thought for a moment before telling Bibi Dong the truth about this martial soul.

After all, this martial soul was far too peculiar—it felt to Lin Yu like he'd eaten a fruit that gave him a sly, underhanded ability. Telling Bibi Dong might let him hear her advice, since her research abilities were no joke, far surpassing so-called masters.

"Your second martial soul is very strange. Ordinary Twin Martial Soul holders can't use both souls together, but yours not only allows simultaneous use but even shares skills. This doesn't seem like Twin Martial Souls—it's more like one soul with two forms, as if they belong to the same martial soul." Hearing Lin Yu's words, Bibi Dong pondered and gave her opinion.

"I don't know the specifics yet, but it won't hinder your cultivation. Before you attach nine spirit rings to your first martial soul, don't bother adding rings to this one." As the first person to solve the Twin Martial Soul problem, Bibi Dong naturally knew the best way to cultivate both souls.

"You have Innate Full Soul Power, so you don't need to train to level ten before adding a spirit ring like others. You can attach your first ring right now. Have you decided what soul beast's ring to use for your first?" After stating her thoughts, Bibi Dong asked Lin Yu about his plans.

"No, I'll leave it entirely to you, Teacher." Hearing Bibi Dong's question, Lin Yu shook his head.

Seeing him shake his head, Bibi Dong wore an expression that said 'I knew it.' After all, Lin Yu was just a little guy who had just awakened his martial soul. No matter how mature he seemed, he was still only a six-year-old child who hadn't studied systematically—it was normal for him not to know.

"Your martial soul is a beast soul, specifically a spider type. Normally, absorbing rings from the same type of soul beast is best, but I've never seen your Undying Emperor Spider recorded in the annals of Douluo Continent. So, absorbing a ring from a spider-type soul beast for your first ring will do. Martial Soul City has a Soul Beast Farm belonging to Martial Soul Hall, which has the highest age soul beast suitable for you to absorb right now. Let's go there to absorb your first spirit ring." Without waiting for Lin Yu to object, Bibi Dong grabbed him and flew off, intending to personally choose a soul beast for him.

"Your martial soul is very peculiar. Though it's a spider soul, it radiates powerful life force—that's strange. But it fits the name 'Undying' of your martial soul. Still, since it's a spider soul, it also possesses strong toxins. So, you have many choices for your first ring: Poison Spider, Man Faced Demon Spider, Cave Demon Spider, Death Demon Spider, Soul Devouring Demon Spider—all of these can serve as your first spirit ring." Bibi Dong looked at the forest below and explained the suitable soul beasts to Lin Yu.

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

He knew about the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor—both were Bibi Dong's martial souls. But he'd never heard of the Death Demon Spider or the Soul Devouring Demon Spider.

"The Death Demon Spider is a powerful soul beast. After growing to a hundred thousand years, it evolves into the Death Spider Emperor. The same goes for the Soul Devouring Demon Spider." Hearing Lin Yu's confusion, Bibi Dong didn't elaborate, merely glossing over it lightly.

Lin Yu obediently didn't press further.

After all, these two martial souls had always been a painful reality for Bibi Dong. Such a beautiful woman possessing such ugly martial souls—Bibi Dong had always been somewhat unwilling to accept it.

Bibi Dong's first martial soul, the Death Spider Emperor, when used, covered the upper half of her body with a layer of purple-black armor, even her face hidden behind a carapace. Below her eyes, four small eyes grew out. When activated, her legs disappeared, and from the waist down, she transformed into a huge round sphere. From this sphere grew eight thick, long legs, propelling her body as she moved swiftly, covered in tufts of green hair and nauseating slime. Where it dripped to the ground, it made a pfft sound, corroding fiercely, making Bibi Dong look like a giant venomous spider.

Bibi Dong's second martial soul, the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, when used, showed dark green web patterns on her forehead, and a layer of crystalline dark green light spread from her body. Behind her appeared three pairs of dark green spider legs, her arms turned into similar dark green spears, and her lower body was completely enveloped in a dark green glow.

"Have you decided which soul beast to use for your first ring?" Bibi Dong clearly didn't want to talk about these two spiders, so she asked Lin Yu about his plans.

"I'll go with the Death Demon Spider." Lin Yu finally chose the Death Demon Spider as his first spirit ring.

After all, among these spider-type soul beasts, the Death Demon Spider and the Soul Devouring Demon Spider were the top-tier ones—either would do.
