Bang!!!
With a loud crash, the door slammed shut.
Bibi Dong returned to her Saintess quarters with a dark expression.
She had never imagined that she, a dignified Soul Douluo and Martial Soul Hall Saintess, would actually be put at a disadvantage by a brat who had only just awakened his martial soul!
What utter humiliation!
"No! I absolutely can't let this matter end like this!"
Bibi Dong's eyes flickered. She had now completely fallen out with Ao Zhan, and his talent was far too terrifying. He had only just awakened his martial soul, yet he could already fight her to this extent. If he were given time—even just a year—she might no longer be his match.
She had to crush this threat while it was still in its infancy!
"You seem to be in a very bad mood."
A cold, seductive voice rang out in Bibi Dong's heart. It was the Rakshasa Divine Will.
The moment Bibi Dong heard that voice, she became furious. "You have the nerve to say that! You were the one who told me to investigate him, and now you're standing there making snide remarks! Not only did you make me suffer at that brat's hands, you also made me provoke such a powerful enemy!"
"Why are you in such a hurry? He's just a child right now."
"A child?"
Bibi Dong laughed angrily. "He doesn't even have a soul ring, yet he can already fight me. If he's given time, I feel that in just one year—or even less—I'll be trampled beneath his feet! Hurry up and let me pass the God Trial. If not, then at least give me an idea for killing that guy. Stop standing there making sarcastic remarks!"
A trace of gloom flashed through the Rakshasa Divine Will's eyes within Bibi Dong. She was merely a pawn, yet she dared speak to her like that.
"It's impossible to give you special treatment in the God Trial, because those are the rules of the God Realm. How could becoming a god possibly be so easy?"
That was naturally a lie. The final interpretation of a God Trial belonged to the Divine Residence itself. So-called God Trials were merely a formality, meant to let people understand the difficulty of becoming gods and maintain their reverence for them.
Although they were also meant to increase a Divine Position inheritor's affinity with divine power, God Trials were not actually necessary. After all, hadn't Tang San become the Asura God in one step without undergoing the Asura God Trial?
Thus, so-called God Trials were nothing more than procedural work. Whether Bibi Dong became a god depended entirely on the Rakshasa God's mood, and the Rakshasa God did not want Bibi Dong to become a god immediately.
"Still, that brat she mentioned is indeed a problem. There's something very wrong with his martial soul."
At this point, the Rakshasa Divine Will frowned.
She had seen the Dragon Clan, but none of the dragons in this universe looked anything like Ao Zhan. Even the Dragon Clan's former strongest expert, the Dragon God, supreme god of the beast race, had merely been a large winged lizard.
Therefore, this fellow was very likely not from this world.
It was not impossible for the Rakshasa God to think so, because a rumor had always circulated among the gods: as long as they passed down their Divine Positions, they could travel to a higher world.
But after all this time, they still did not know where that world was, nor did they know how to get there.
Besides, even a monster like the Dragon God had not gone to a higher world. The other gods naturally would not believe that they could get there.
The reason they passed down their Divine Positions now was merely for another matter.
Still, the existence of a higher-level world might not be groundless, especially now that Ao Zhan's uniqueness made her even more certain of it.
"It seems the plan has encountered an unexpected variable—a huge one. But it may not be a bad thing. If handled properly, it could allow us to escape this sea of suffering and reach a higher world!"
Light flickered in the Rakshasa Divine Will's eyes. Then she said to Bibi Dong, "Don't act rashly for now. Find a way to pass the first trial of the Rakshasa God Trial first. I'll think of something regarding that brat myself."
She said this only to preserve Bibi Dong, this pawn. As for Ao Zhan, it was not as though she could simply make a move against him whenever she wanted.
Setting aside his exaggerated combat strength, the Worship Hall elders would certainly protect him in secret from now on. Golden Crocodile would definitely be among them.
On Douluo Planet today, leaving aside the Sun Moon Continent, the only ones who could reliably defeat Golden Crocodile were Bo Saixi in the sea and Tang Chen in Slaughter City. Other than them, no one could defeat Golden Crocodile.
Not to mention that besides Golden Crocodile, there would certainly be other Worship Hall elders, such as those who had appeared today.
Therefore, once they moved against Ao Zhan, Bibi Dong, this pawn, would very likely become useless.
Bibi Dong was an extremely important pawn in their plan. They absolutely could not lose her over something like this.
Hearing the Rakshasa God tell her to remain still, Bibi Dong was unwilling, but she did not voice any objection.
In the end, improving her own strength was still the most important thing.
"Brat! Just you wait!"
She glared resentfully in the direction of the Worship Hall, then sat down to cultivate.
The sky was bright and clear, without a cloud for thousands of miles.
After finishing his conversation with Qian Daoliu, Ao Zhan went to find Qian Renxue.
At that moment, Guang Ling was coaxing her. To put it bluntly, Guang Ling was telling her jokes and making her laugh so much that she had no time to ask about what had just happened.
Ao Zhan relaxed and called out, "Xue'er!"
Qian Renxue, whose eyes had filled with tears from laughing at Guang Ling's joke, looked over at the sound. The moment she saw Ao Zhan, her eyes lit up. "Brother Zhan."
She had just been about to run over when a gust of wind swept past. Ao Zhan appeared at her side and pulled her into his arms, patting her back. "Alright, alright. You don't need to run over. I can come to you myself. You're not even as fast as I am."
The other Worship Hall elders' pupils contracted. They had almost failed to see how Ao Zhan had gotten over there.
Wasn't that speed a little ridiculous?
If Ao Zhan knew what they were thinking, he would only chuckle.
In truth, this speed was naturally thanks to the Alien Energy of Miao Tiaojun within him.
Although that little fatty Miao Tiaojun's Alien Energy had no offensive power whatsoever, when it came to running away, if he claimed second place, no one would dare claim first.
At his current level, Ao Zhan could leave agility-type soul masters so far behind that they could not even see his dust, even without using Martial Soul Possession.
However, the Worship Hall elders quickly adjusted their mindsets. Azure Luan asked, "Little Zhan, it seems you've finished talking with Big Brother?"
Ao Zhan nodded. "Yes."
Qian Renxue looked at him curiously. "Brother Zhan, what did you talk about with Grandpa?"
"Nothing much. But have you decided what soul ring you want?"
Ao Zhan did not continue discussing that subject and instead shifted Qian Renxue's attention to choosing her soul ring.
"Not yet. I'll listen to all of you grandpas." After thinking for a moment, Qian Renxue shook her head. She felt that she should listen to her elders.
Whatever soul ring her elders told her to choose, she would absorb.
They were all powerful experts standing at the peak of the continent. Their judgment would surely be better than hers.
What she did not know was that sometimes, what elders chose was not necessarily the best.
