Divine Phenomenon Alarms the Elder Hall

Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong sat upon the Pope Throne.

She was reviewing files.

A powerful surge of energy swept instantly across the Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong set down her pen.

She walked straight to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Half of the sky was brilliant with golden light.

The other half churned with thunder.

Bibi Dong's brows furrowed slightly.

She sensed two distinct, extreme attributes.

One was Ultimate Light and Ultimate Fire.

The other was Ultimate Darkness and Ultimate Destruction.

This was certainly no ordinary spirit beast manifesting.

The great hall doors were pushed open.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei walked in quickly.

Both knelt on one knee simultaneously.

Yue Guan lowered his head to report:

"Your Holiness. The source of the anomaly is at the Awakening Plaza. Today is the day for the orphanage children's spirit awakening."

Bibi Dong turned and walked toward the hall entrance:

"Follow me."

Elder Hall.

Several elders at the Title Douluo level were discussing matters in the main hall.

The ceiling was illuminated by the light from the sky.

Demon Bear Douluo stood up and walked outside the hall.

He looked up at the sky.

Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo followed closely behind.

"What level of spirit awakening is this?"

Snake Lance Douluo said.

Ghost Leopard Douluo flashed to the edge of the hall.

"This kind of pressure surpasses top-tier spirits. I fear only that person in the Worship Hall could trigger such a commotion."

"Go and see."

Demon Bear Douluo shouted.

He channeled his spirit power.

His body soared into the air, heading straight for the Awakening Plaza.

The other elders released their spirit power one after another, following closely behind.

Deep within the Worship Hall.

A massive Angel Statue was enshrined here.

Second Worship Golden Crocodile Douluo opened his eyes.

He sensed a pure, sacred aura.

Yet, this aura was intertwined with an attribute of destruction.

He felt deeply puzzled.

Golden Crocodile Douluo stood up.

He walked to a heavy stone door deep within the great hall.

Just as he was about to speak.

An aged voice drifted from within the stone door.

"I have felt it. Go to the Awakening Plaza."

Golden Crocodile Douluo bowed his head slightly.

He turned and transformed into a streak of golden light, flying out of the Worship Hall.

Awakening Plaza.

The anomaly in the sky continued.

Bishop Sino stood at the edge of the high platform.

He commanded the Temple Knights to disperse the surrounding civilians.

He had to ensure the safety of Su Chen.

Su Chen stood in the center of the high platform.

He retracted his Martial Soul and closed his eyes.

He was currently adapting to the surging Soul Power within his body.

Suddenly, several sharp whistling sounds pierced through the sky.

Sino looked up.

Several powerful streaks of light flew in from various directions.

After pausing for a moment above the plaza, the streaks of light descended rapidly.

A series of booming sounds echoed out.

Several old men dressed in the robes of Martial Soul Hall Elders landed on the high platform.

Demon Bear Douluo landed first.

The nine soul rings on his body flickered in and out of existence.

The pressure of a Titled Douluo forced the surrounding knights to retreat repeatedly.

Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo followed closely behind.

Ghost Leopard Douluo stepped out from a patch of shadows.

The four Elders looked simultaneously at Su Chen in the center of the magic circle.

Sino hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Subordinate Sino, pays respects to the Elders."

Demon Bear Douluo grabbed Sino by the shoulder.

"What was that phenomenon just now? Was it caused by this brat?"

Enduring the pain in his shoulder, Sino replied.

"Reporting to the Elder, it is indeed this orphan. He has awakened Twin Martial Souls."

"Twin Martial Souls."

Snake Lance Douluo immediately stepped forward.

"What are his Martial Souls? What is his level of Innate Soul Power?"

Sino took a deep breath.

"This subordinate witnessed two Tool Martial Souls, one of light and one of darkness. The pressure was immense. The high-grade crystal ball shattered on the spot during the test. It is preliminarily estimated to be Innate Full Soul Power at level twenty."

The four Elders were stunned for a moment.

Demon Bear Douluo released Sino.

He looked Su Chen up and down.

"Good lad. Heaven blesses Martial Soul Hall."

Porcupinefish Douluo stepped forward.

"This kid is a genius. I happen to be lacking a successor for my mantle. He belongs to me."

"Bullshit."

Demon Bear Douluo retorted loudly.

"You deal in poison, yet he awakened Tool Martial Souls. What does that have to do with you? This old man possesses infinite strength; I am best suited to teach him."

Ghost Leopard Douluo let out a cold snort.

"You are fighting over him before even figuring out his Martial Souls. Such talent should naturally be cultivated collectively by the Elder Hall."

The several Titled Douluos began to argue on the platform.

They all wanted to take this peerless genius under their own wings.

Su Chen opened his eyes and looked at the four Elders before him.

He did not speak.

This was not enough.

The ordinary Elders of the Elder Hall were not qualified to be his teachers.

Just as the four Elders were arguing, two cold and sharp auras descended.

A massive golden chrysanthemum bloomed in the air.

Countless petals drifted down.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan stepped on the petals and descended from the sky.

A cluster of black mist coalesced beside Yue Guan.

Ghost Douluo Gui Mei revealed his true form.

The appearance of the two caused the four elders to cease their bickering.

Yue Guan raised a hand.

"You elders have quite the temper. His Holiness the Pope has yet to speak, yet you are already in such a rush to snatch people away?"

Demon Bear Douluo let out a cold snort.

"Yue Guan, this kid has extraordinary talent. He should rightfully be brought into the Elder Hall for cultivation. Why does the Pope Palace want to interfere?"

Gui Mei's voice was hoarse.

"The orphanage is under the direct jurisdiction of the Pope Palace. Naturally, he belongs to the Pope Palace."

A factional struggle existed between the Elder Hall and the Pope Palace.

Faced with such a genius, neither side was willing to yield.

Su Chen remained silent.

He stood in place, watching the two sides confront each other.

He knew the one who truly held the power had yet to appear.

The temperature in the air plummeted sharply.

A massive pressure spread over from the direction of the Pope Palace.

All the Titled Douluo present changed their expressions simultaneously.

They immediately retracted their own soul power fluctuations.

Turning toward the direction of the Pope Palace, they bowed slightly.

Sino and the surrounding knights knelt on one knee immediately.

A tall figure walked slowly through the air.

She held a scepter inlaid with a massive gemstone.

A purple-gold crown rested upon her head.

Her face was devoid of any expression.

Pope Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong landed on the high platform.

Her gaze swept directly over everyone.

Finally, it landed on Su Chen.

Su Chen looked up to meet Bibi Dong's gaze.

He did not kneel.

He watched the supreme ruler of Martial Soul Hall with composure.

Bibi Dong looked at Su Chen.

To be able to remain calm in the face of a Titled Douluo's pressure.

"What is your name?"

Bibi Dong asked.

"Su Chen."

Su Chen replied.

Bibi Dong nodded slightly.

"What is your martial soul?"

Su Chen did not speak.

He simply raised both hands.

Golden light surged in his right hand.

The Judgment Holy Sword took form in an instant.

Darkness roiled in his left hand.

The God-Slaying Magic Spear appeared in its wake.

Two supreme god-level tool martial souls were displayed before everyone simultaneously.

A terrifying pressure swept across the entire scene once more.

The elders closest to him hurriedly circulated their soul power to resist.

They discovered that their own martial souls were actually trembling.

Bibi Dong's pupils contracted slightly.

She herself possessed Twin Martial Souls.

She could sense that the quality of Su Chen's two martial souls far surpassed her own Death Spider Emperor and Soul-Eater Spider Emperor.

"Very good."

Bibi Dong slammed her scepter heavily against the ground.

"From this day forward, you are This Seat's personal disciple."

As these words were spoken, the expressions of several elders shifted drastically.

Demon Bear Douluo hurriedly spoke up.

"Your Excellency Pope, I fear this is inappropriate. An innate full soul power of level twenty is a matter of great importance; it must be decided by a meeting of the Elder Hall."

Bibi Dong looked at Demon Bear Douluo.

"When has This Seat ever needed the Elder Hall's consent to take on a disciple?"

A formidable killing intent erupted from Bibi Dong's body, bearing down directly upon Demon Bear Douluo.

Cold sweat broke out on Demon Bear Douluo's forehead.

He retreated two steps, not daring to speak another word.

Bibi Dong looked at Su Chen once more.

"Are you willing?"

Just as Su Chen was about to open his mouth to agree, a golden light suddenly flashed across the sky.

This golden light tore directly through the surrounding pressure.

A divine aura, even purer than Bibi Dong's, enveloped the entire Awakening Plaza.
