Martial Soul Hall Conference

Hu Liena stammered, "Saintess Sister... are you telling the truth?"

Bibi Dong saw Hu Liena's adorable expression and smiled. "Of course it is true, little girl. Are you willing to become my disciple?"

"I am, I am, Saintess Sister!" Hu Liena exclaimed excitedly.

Bibi Dong nodded with satisfaction and added, "Now that you are my disciple, will you still call me Saintess Sister?"

Hu Liena realized her mistake and quickly said, "Teacher."

"A clever child. Come with me."

Bibi Dong took Hu Liena's hand and walked toward the main gate of Martial Soul City.

As Hu Liena walked through the streets of Martial Soul City, she kept turning her head to look back at the distant, mist-shrouded Pope Mountain, her face gradually filling with confusion.

She knew that Bibi Dong was the Saintess of the Martial Soul Hall, and the Saintess should reside in the Pope Hall. Why was Bibi Dong taking her further and further away from it?

Just as they were about to reach the main gate of Martial Soul City, Hu Liena finally couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, where are we going?"

Bibi Dong replied, "Heaven Dou Empire, Fasinuo Province, Nuoding City."

Hu Liena's eyes widened. "Teacher, why are we going so far away? Shouldn't I be going to the Martial Soul Hall Soul Master Academy?"

Bibi Dong stopped in her tracks, looked at Hu Liena very seriously, and asked, "Nana, are you willing to listen to your teacher?"

Hu Liena was slightly stunned, then nodded.

Bibi Dong's expression softened. She stroked Hu Liena's head and, using a focused sound transmission, spoke with a tone full of seriousness and disdain, "Then remember this: the Martial Soul Hall is actually a filthy, disgusting, and degenerate place. Teacher is taking you away from the Martial Soul Hall for your own good. You are my disciple, and Teacher will never harm you. You will understand when you are older."

Hu Liena nodded in a daze, though her heart remained full of confusion regarding Bibi Dong's words.

"Teacher, since we are going so far, I want to tell my brother. If he can't find me, he will be worried."

"Your brother? Does he study at the Martial Soul Hall Academy? What is his Innate Soul Power?"

Hu Liena nodded, her face full of admiration for her brother. "Teacher, my brother is named Xie Yue. His Innate Soul Power reached level eight, and his grades in all subjects at the Martial Soul Hall Academy are at the top. My brother says he has hope of breaking through to become a Titled Douluo."

Bibi Dong was shocked internally. This was a family of two potential Douluos, two rising stars. With Xie Yue's talent being so exceptional, perhaps when she sought revenge against the Martial Soul Hall in the future, she could use him to gather intelligence.

"Do not worry, your brother will know that you have left with me. Nana, your talent is even more exceptional than your brother's. Study hard with Teacher, and you will surpass him in the future."

"I understand, Teacher."

Hu Liena felt reassured.

As the Saintess of the Martial Soul Hall, when Bibi Dong wanted to leave Martial Soul City, the patrol guards at the gate naturally dared not stop her.

Afterward, Bibi Dong took Hu Liena into a carriage and sped off toward the Fasinuo Province of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Not long after, in the conference room of the Pope Hall.

Qian Xunji was buried in the affairs of the Martial Soul Hall. Only by immersing himself in these mountains of paperwork could he temporarily forget that his own daughter had acknowledged a soul beast as her mother and was acting intimately with one.

At this moment, a red-robed bishop walked in. "Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope."

Qian Xunji looked up and said, "Bishop Nuosen, what is it?"

Bishop Nuosen said, "Your Holiness, these are the children from this year's Awakening Hall who possess the potential to become Titled Douluos. Please take a look."

"Present it."

Qian Xunji's face lit up with joy. For the top three sects, any genius with the potential of a Soul Douluo would be reported, but this was the Martial Soul Hall. To become a sect elder in the top three sects, one had to reach the Soul Douluo level, but to become an honorary elder in the Martial Soul Hall, one had to reach the Titled Douluo level.

Qian Xunji opened the document and saw only one name: Hu Liena, Innate Soul Power level 9.5, Martial Soul: Heavenly Fox.

"Where is that little girl?"

Qian Xunji was overjoyed. With an Innate Soul Power of 9.5, this girl had the potential to become a patron. Even if she didn't reach that level, with the resources of the Martial Soul Hall, reaching a level 95 Titled Douluo would be no problem at all.

The red-robed bishop said respectfully, "Your Holiness, according to the white-robed bishop who performed the awakening, this girl named Hu Liena has taken the Saintess as her teacher and has left with her."

Qian Xunji's expression changed slightly, and he waved his hand. "You may go."

As soon as the red-robed bishop left, Qian Xunji sighed. By sacrificing some of Hu Liena's talent and letting Bibi Dong see the gap between Hu Liena's cultivation speed and the geniuses of the Martial Soul Hall, perhaps Bibi Dong would realize the importance of the Martial Soul Hall.

He would just have to wrong that little girl named Hu Liena for now. With her talent, as long as it wasn't delayed too much, she would still have the possibility of breaking through to Titled Douluo upon returning to the Martial Soul Hall and being cultivated with its resources.

Between Bibi Dong, who possessed Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power, and Hu Liena, who had an Innate Soul Power of 9.5 and only one martial soul, it went without saying who was more important and who brought greater benefits to the Martial Soul Hall.

Three days later, Martial Soul Hall, Elder Hall.

This was the largest building in the Pope Hall and represented the source of the entire Martial Soul Hall's formidable power. Inside the high-domed building, the entrance led to a spacious hall. The vaulted ceiling was nearly thirty meters high, and the surrounding area was divided into three levels, each with ten rooms.

Except for extremely special circumstances, the primary condition for residing here was having a soul power of level ninety or higher and the strength of a Titled Douluo. This was the true seat of supreme power in the Martial Soul Hall; even the Pope was subject to its constraints. Ultimately, it was a matter of strength. If the elders living here were to unite, they could destroy one of the top three sects in a single day. This was no exaggeration.

At this moment, there was not a single servant in the Elder Hall, because all the Titled Douluo elders had come out. Except for the Ghost Leopard Douluo, who was still secretly monitoring the Clear Sky Sect, all the elders were gathered in the Elder Hall.

The six patrons had also arrived at the Elder Hall.

The one capable of summoning all the elders and patrons of the Martial Soul Hall at once was naturally not Qian Xunji, who had been hammered by Tang Hao and lost all his dignity, but Qian Daoliu.

Bibi Zhu also walked to a corner of the Elder Hall, holding Qian Renxue's hand.

Regarding the reconciliation between Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, none of the Titled Douluo elders or the six patrons showed any surprise.

During the days when Qian Xunji was injured, Bibi Dong had acted like a gentle and virtuous wife, bringing him medicine and caring for him tenderly; they had all seen it clearly.

In particular, Thousand Jun and Falling Devil had even seen Bibi Dong walk into Qian Xunji's bedchamber late at night wearing her nightgown. Late at night, in the dark, with Bibi Dong in her nightgown—did it really need to be said what had happened?

Since Bibi Dong had already forgiven Qian Xunji, it was only logical that she would accept their talented and adorable daughter, Qian Renxue.
