"Using a Medusa as your fourth spirit ring? Not bad."
At this moment, Qian Xunji's mind was in complete disarray.
Her thoughts were not on Bibi Dong's words at all.
The reason for this was that the very instant her disciple had drawn near just now, her heart had inexplicably skipped a beat.
Ever since she had initiated the Eighth Angel Trial, her father had begun trying every possible method to urge her to find an excellent husband, so that the Angel Martial Soul could be passed down.
She had looked at many, but not a single one could catch her eye.
She always felt they were far too mediocre.
Her husband needed not only top-tier talent but also a peerless appearance.
To put it simply, Qian Xunji was a sucker for a pretty face.
How is this possible?
He is only twelve!
He is still just a child!
Qian Xunji, how could you have such filthy thoughts? He is your disciple!
Realizing just how absurd her thoughts had been a moment ago, Qian Xunji continuously lectured and cursed herself in her heart.
If not for today's encounter, perhaps she would never have had such thoughts.
The problem was that the moment this notion surfaced in her mind, it immediately grew like wild grass; no matter how she tried to suppress it, it could never be completely destroyed.
On the Douluo Continent, both men and women matured very early.
Many commoners already had children by the age of twelve.
Although Bibi Dong still retained a touch of childishness, both his appearance and his physique already marked him as a dashing young man.
And he was the kind of young man who could make one fall for him at a single glance.
This isn't attraction; this is possessiveness. This is extreme possessiveness.
I just don't want my disciple to belong to someone else so soon.
Yes, that must be it.
The more Qian Xunji thought about it, the more chaotic her heart became.
Coupled with the fact that she was currently undergoing the Eighth Angel Trial, her emotions were at their most volatile and uncontrollable state.
"What on earth is going on?"
Watching the ever-changing expressions on Qian Xunji's face, Bibi Dong was somewhat bewildered.
Hadn't he just mentioned the spirit beast he hunted for his fourth spirit ring and the spirit skill he had obtained?
How could that cause such a massive emotional fluctuation?
It shouldn't be like this.
His teacher already knew that his second and third spirit rings had been absorbed beyond the standard age limits.
Furthermore, her own eighth spirit ring was a hundred-thousand-year one.
She might be a little surprised, but not to this extent.
"Teacher? Teacher, is something wrong?"
Bibi Dong looked at the peerlessly beautiful Qian Xunji before him and instinctively took a step back.
He always felt that Qian Xunji seemed a bit abnormal.
Although he had grown accustomed to her being a woman over these years, it was precisely because he was accustomed to it that he needed to keep his distance.
If he still had any reservations, perhaps he wouldn't have any improper thoughts.
He was just terrified that one day he might truly become a disciple who rebels against his master.
"N-nothing, nothing at all."
Following Bibi Dong's repeated calls, Qian Xunji finally regained some clarity.
She banished her messy thoughts and feelings deep into the recesses of her mind.
"What? What did you just say?"
"Your fourth spirit ring is a twenty-thousand-year Medusa!"
Only then did Qian Xunji react to what her disciple had just said.
According to her previous estimations, her disciple's fourth spirit ring should have been around nine thousand years; after all, she had repeatedly warned him that ten-thousand-year spirit rings possessed soul shocks.
She never imagined that his fourth spirit ring would actually be a ten-thousand-year one.
And it was a twenty-thousand-year ring at that.
Is this kind of thing normal?
Is it even reasonable?
It was simply too shocking and unbelievable.
"Xiao Dong, don't move, let Teacher check your body."
Qian Xunji immediately grew worried.
Since her disciple was standing right in front of her, it meant his body had reached the threshold capable of withstanding the absorption of a ten-thousand-year soul ring.
Although she did not know the specific reason, given this little fellow's monstrous level of talent, it was not impossible for him to pull off such a miraculous feat.
What she worried about was whether there might be some issue with Bibi Dong's soul.
After all, a twenty-thousand-year soul beast, especially one possessing a special bloodline, already had an intelligence comparable to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child.
Perhaps it had used some special means to take over her disciple's body.
Was he still himself?
How could one not be worried about such a thing?
"Check, check... check my body!"
Hearing Qian Xunji say this, Bibi Dong felt a sudden shiver run through his entire body.
If these words had been spoken by any other elder, even if it were Yue Guan saying such things, Bibi Dong would not have thought anything of it.
The problem was that the person before him was Qian Xunji!
The infamous Chamber Douluo.
No matter what kind of things she did, Bibi Dong would not find it outrageous or absurd.
"That... Teacher, I am only ten years old, I am still a child..."
Bibi Dong was already thinking about how he could escape from her clutches.
Although he knew this day would likely come, he truly had not prepared himself for all of this; he still had not crossed that psychological threshold.
As for such matters, it would be better to wait a while longer.
"What on earth are you thinking about?"
Qian Xunji also realized that her previous behavior and those words might have caused a misunderstanding.
Stepping forward, she delivered a sharp rap to Bibi Dong's head.
Bibi Dong winced in pain, baring his teeth.
It had to be said that his appearance was truly resilient and striking.
Even with his face twisted into a grimace, it did not look hideous or ugly; instead, it gave him an unusual handsomeness and charm.
Seeing this, the composure Qian Xunji had finally steadied began to ripple once more.
She hurriedly suppressed this restlessness and began to examine Bibi Dong's soul.
It would have been fine if she hadn't checked, but upon doing so, Qian Xunji was completely shocked.
"Xiao Dong, you... what kind of fortuitous encounter did you have? Not only has your physique greatly increased, but even your spiritual power has risen to a realm comparable to a Soul Saint."
"It seems your Martial Soul has also undergone some changes!"
Qian Xunji was utterly stunned.
What she found most incredible was that such an improvement in Bibi Dong had not caused any damage to his body; on the contrary, it had enhanced his potential and talent.
It was in no way inferior to directly fusing with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
The circumstances behind this were simply too shocking and unbelievable.
"Teacher, this is all thanks to Uncle Yue Guan."
"He searched painstakingly and finally found a legendary Immortal Herb, which is why I have undergone such changes."
Bibi Dong did his best to push the credit onto Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
When the time came to help those two hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, he would still need his teacher to take action.
If it were anyone else, he wouldn't be able to trust them.
"Do Immortal Herbs really have such special effects?"
Qian Xunji was left in utter astonishment.
