Twin Martial Souls

[It was not until the two of them had returned near the Saintess Palace that Bibi Dong finally made up her mind, stopped, and looked at Su Chen.]

[Under the night sky, that exquisite, stunningly beautiful face bore a rare trace of seriousness.]

["Su Chen."]

["I want to tell you a secret. You absolutely must not tell anyone else."]

[Su Chen looked up at her without speaking, merely giving a slight nod.]

[Seeing this, Bibi Dong took a deep breath.]

[Then she slowly spoke.]

["Actually... I have Twin Martial Souls."]

[As soon as those words were spoken, the air fell silent for a moment.]

[Yet the expression on Su Chen's face did not change much.]

[Bibi Dong continued.]

["Other than my teacher and a few elders, no one else knows about this."]

["I'm telling you today because I trust you."]

["And I've heard that every person with Twin Martial Souls died from their bodies exploding during cultivation."]

["I'm truly afraid—afraid that one day, I'll end up like those people before me..."]

[By this point, Bibi Dong no longer looked as cheerful and optimistic as before. Her face was filled with fear, and even her voice trembled.]

[At that moment, Su Chen interrupted her.]

["Don't worry! As long as I'm here, that will absolutely never happen to you."]

[Seeing the confidence in Su Chen's eyes and the unquestionable certainty in his words, the fear on Bibi Dong's face instantly vanished.]

[A moment later, Bibi Dong finally came back to herself. Looking at Su Chen before her, she did not know why, but she always felt that anything this young man said would surely come true.]

[With that thought, Bibi Dong completely relaxed and revealed a radiant smile.]

["Then it's settled. My future is in your hands!"]

["All right."]

[After receiving his answer, Bibi Dong did not linger.]

[She merely gave Su Chen a light wave before turning and walking toward the Saintess Palace.]

[The night breeze brushed past.]

[The girl's retreating figure looked especially captivating beneath the moonlight.]

[And just as Bibi Dong turned to leave.]

[Su Chen, who had been calm moments ago, suddenly had an unprecedented gleam rise in his eyes.]

[Twin Martial Souls.]

[Those four words echoed endlessly through his mind.]

[At this moment, the way he looked at Bibi Dong was no longer the way one looked at a person.]

[It was as though he were looking at a peerless treasure rarely seen in the world.]

Seeing this scene, quite a few people beyond the Sky Screen could not help twitching at the corners of their mouths.

Earlier, they had thought Su Chen had finally caught on.

After all, Bibi Dong clearly already had quite a favorable impression of him.

As long as Su Chen took even a slightly more proactive approach, he would probably win the heart of Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden within days.

But who could have expected it?

Research was still the only thing on Su Chen's mind.

For a moment, many people could not help posting comments.

[Passerby A]: Seriously, is Su Chen even a man?

[Passerby B]: Exactly! A beauty of this caliber is practically throwing herself at him, yet all he can think about are experiments?

[Ma Hongjun]: Yeah! What a waste of something so precious!

Seeing those comments, many people at Shrek Academy nodded instinctively.

However, Flender shuddered and stared fiercely at Ma Hongjun as he shouted sternly.

"Who told you to post comments carelessly?! Don't you know Bibi Dong's status and strength? If you anger her, our entire Shrek Academy will be buried with you!"

Only then did Ma Hongjun remember Bibi Dong's identity. His body began trembling uncontrollably, as though he could already see Spirit Hall settling accounts with him after the Sky Screen ended.

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang straightened his back and spoke with confidence.

"Don't worry. With me here, Bibi Dong won't do anything to you!"

Meanwhile, within the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong was not angered by the comments. In her view, their words were simply recognition of her beauty.

The only thing that made Bibi Dong somewhat displeased was that Su Chen had still been focused solely on experiments while facing her. Did that not make her seem utterly lacking in charm?

But a moment later, she let it go, her heart filled with disdain.

"Ha! As expected, Su Chen is nothing more than a petty man who knows only how to use others! Only someone as outstanding and devoted as Xiao Gang is worthy of me!"

Just as everyone in the comments was discussing the matter, Chen Xin could no longer stand it and posted a comment.

[Chen Xin]: Foolish.

[Chen Xin]: Beauty may indeed move the heart, but what a true powerhouse should value most will always be their own strength.

[Chen Xin]: If Su Chen had truly let romantic feelings cloud his judgment, he could never have reached this point.

Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Gu Rong could not help smacking his lips when he saw Chen Xin speaking up for Su Chen.

"Old Sword, I've never seen you so good at praising people."

Chen Xin merely snorted.

"I'm stating the facts."

"If this kid were truly the sort who could not walk after seeing a woman, how could he have forcibly shattered his own Martial Soul and opened an entirely new path of cultivation?"

Following Chen Xin's remarks, Di Tian also posted a comment for the first time.

[Di Tian]: Indeed.

[Di Tian]: Only becoming stronger is real. All other love and affection are merely superfluous.

Though these people did not know who Di Tian was, they all knew Chen Xin. For a time, no one said anything more.

At that moment, Shui Yue'er's sudden words caused another enormous uproar.

[Shui Yue'er]: Wait, haven't you all noticed the important part?

[Shui Yue'er]: The Pope is actually a legendary wielder of Twin Martial Souls!

At that instant, countless Soul Masters changed expression.

Most people knew that Bibi Dong was the current Pope of Spirit Hall and a Title Douluo.

But they had never known.

Bibi Dong was also a legendary wielder of Twin Martial Souls.

To most Soul Masters, Twin Martial Souls were the stuff of legend.

After all, over thousands of years in the Soul Master world, the number of people with Twin Martial Souls had not exceeded the fingers of one hand, and most of those people had died suddenly in their youth.

Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Gu Rong finally came to his senses as well.

"Bibi Dong actually possesses Twin Martial Souls!"

Chen Xin's expression beside him became completely solemn.

They had always regarded Bibi Dong as an ordinary Super Douluo, never imagining that she was a wielder of Twin Martial Souls.

At that moment, Ning Fengzhi slowly furrowed his brow as well.

He did not speak immediately.

He merely watched the Sky Screen in silence, the expression in his eyes constantly shifting.

Only after a while did he slowly speak.

"If Bibi Dong truly has Twin Martial Souls, and she has already cultivated to the realm of a Title Douluo..."

"Then it means she has most likely resolved the flaws in cultivating Twin Martial Souls."

The moment those words were spoken, Chen Xin and Gu Rong both felt their hearts sink.

Naturally, they understood what that meant.

The most terrifying thing about Twin Martial Souls had never been talent alone.

It was the combat power that could nearly crush Soul Masters of the same realm once their wielder had fully matured.

If not for the Sky Screen's revelation, who could have imagined that Spirit Hall possessed such a tremendous secret?

After a moment, Ning Fengzhi finally spoke again.

But this time, his voice carried an unprecedented gravity.

"Once the Sky Screen ends, we must immediately join forces with the other factions."

"Spirit Hall has hidden itself far too deeply."

"Bibi Dong alone is already terrifying enough."

"Not to mention that beyond this, we have no idea how many trump cards Spirit Hall is still hiding."

At this point, Ning Fengzhi slowly exhaled.

"Who can guarantee it?"

"That Spirit Hall won't suddenly produce a dozen or more Title Douluo?"

"If it truly comes to that, if they strike directly, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will probably be utterly destroyed before we even have a chance to react."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rong's expression instantly turned extremely ugly.

Because he knew Ning Fengzhi was not exaggerating.

Given the foundation Spirit Hall had revealed so far.

Such a thing was truly not impossible.

Chen Xin slowly nodded as well.

"Fengzhi is right."

"It seems we were still far too optimistic in the past."

Gu Rong also spoke in a deep voice.

"Indeed."

"If we do not prepare early, there may truly come a day when Spirit Hall catches us completely off guard and slaughters us."

The three exchanged glances.

At that moment, none of them had any mood left for jokes.
