At this moment, Chen Pi was just as Lin Fan had described, his legs trembling uncontrollably and his face etched with terror.
Facing the aura currently radiating from Bibi Dong, Chen Pi felt as if a giant hand were gripping his throat, rendering him unable to move a muscle!
Seeing Chen Pi's state, Bibi Dong smiled slightly, her belief in Lin Fan's words growing even stronger.
Taking advantage of the momentum, Bibi Dong unleashed her power, and a pale purple spirit ring appeared around her, pulsing with light.
"First Spirit Skill—Magic Pearl Poison Sting!"
As the words left her lips, the eight spider legs on Bibi Dong's back suddenly flared with light.
Eight spider legs formed from spirit power manifested instantly, accompanied by deep purple venom.
Like arrows released from a bow, they whistled through the air with a piercing shriek as several needle-thin poison stings shot forward, their tips dripping with highly corrosive venom.
As the venom dripped onto the arena floor, even the hard stone ground began to hiss and emit a faint purple toxic mist.
Before Chen Pi could even react, Bibi Dong's poison needles were already upon him!
Just then, the combat instructor suddenly intervened.
A flash of golden light streaked across the stage, instantly blocking the poison stings flying toward Chen Pi.
Seeing the golden wall before him, Chen Pi finally snapped out of his daze, realizing he had just narrowly avoided being struck by those needles!
However, the instructor's intervention meant that Bibi Dong had already won the match.
"This match, Bibi Dong wins!"
The combat instructor announced the result, his eyes filled with shock.
Even he had not known that Bibi Dong's first spirit ring was actually a thousand-year purple spirit ring!
Likewise, those in the spectator stands, the waiting area, and even Chen Pi, who had been fighting Bibi Dong, all wore expressions of utter disbelief.
If Chen Pi hadn't been stunned for a moment by the sight of that thousand-year spirit ring, he might have actually dodged Bibi Dong's poison needles.
Unfortunately, between the suppression of her Martial Soul and the shock of seeing a thousand-year first spirit ring, even a fourth-year student as experienced as Chen Pi could not react in time.
Bibi Dong, filled with joy, returned directly to her seat.
She said nothing, yet her silence spoke volumes.
Looking at the expressions of those on the stage, Bibi Dong felt an immense sense of satisfaction!
Martial Soul Hall
Council Hall
"Keep the matter of your disciple's first spirit ring being a thousand-year one suppressed for now," Qian Daoliu said indifferently. "How is the collection of Whale Rubber progressing?"
Below him, Qian Xunji and several red-robed cardinals listened respectfully.
"Your Excellency, the collection of Whale Rubber in Martial Soul City has been completed."
Beside Qian Xunji, one of the cardinals stepped forward to speak.
Qian Daoliu nodded; the collection of Whale Rubber in Martial Soul City had gone quite smoothly, as it was their own territory after all.
"Aroke, how is the situation in the Heaven Dou Empire?" Qian Daoliu asked, looking toward another cardinal.
Aroke hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Your Excellency, in the Heaven Dou Empire, we have only collected about sixty percent."
"You know how the subordinates of those princes and dukes in the Heaven Dou Imperial Family are."
"To pry that Whale Rubber from their hands in such a short time without paying a price is truly impossible."
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu's expression did not change in the slightest. "Whatever demands they have, as long as they aren't excessive, you may agree to them."
"Of course, this must be done discreetly; do not let too many people know."
Aroke nodded. "Understood!"
"What about the Star Luo Empire and the sea spirit masters?"
Several days later.
At night, the door to a dormitory was opened by a boy dressed in thin clothing.
Standing in the hallway, seven purple-black Star Seeds suddenly appeared in Lin Fan's hand.
These Star Seeds hovered over his palm, but a moment later, under Lin Fan's mental command, they slowly arranged themselves into a specific pattern.
From start to finish, it took exactly three seconds.
Star Orbit formed!
Magic manifested!
"Thunder Seal—Wild Whip!" Lin Fan shouted sharply.
Purple-black lightning surged in Lin Fan's hand, and a ferocious Thunder Seal swirled around his body as arcs of lightning danced wildly.
The next moment, Lin Fan raised one hand high, lightning surging from his palm, and in an instant, ten lightning whips lashed out like enraged beasts, charging forward.
Lightning danced wildly, thunder roared deafeningly, and the air was thick with overbearing thunderous might.
Primary Level 2 Lightning Element Magic! Thunder Seal—Wild Whip!
Having reached Soul Power Level 13, Lin Fan was already capable of unleashing a Primary Level 2 Thunder Seal!
Its power was naturally far greater than that of the Primary Level 1 Thunder Seal—Reckless Mark!
"Too cool! Absolutely awesome!" Lin Fan shouted in excitement, his heart surging with thrill!
This was the first time Lin Fan had unleashed magic since arriving in this world.
In Lin Fan's eyes, no other moment could compare to this instant of wielding lightning magic.
Calming down, Lin Fan began to reflect on the time it took him to trace the Star Orbit.
"It takes me a full three seconds to trace the Star Orbit, which is about twice as long as it takes others to release a soul skill."
"Releasing a soul skill takes about a second, and while I have the uniqueness of the Star Seeds, I still need to practice diligently!"
Lin Fan turned around, ready to head back and continue his cultivation.
But just as he turned, he saw Bibi Dong standing behind him in thin clothing, a mischievous smile on her face, clearly intending to startle him.
"Junior Sister, what are you trying to do?" Lin Fan looked at Bibi Dong with a smile and gave her soft, tender cheek a firm pinch.
"Ooh, I've been found out~" Bibi Dong blinked, looking like a child caught doing something naughty.
Lin Fan let go, the soft sensation of her cheek still lingering on his fingertips, and couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at her slightly puffed-up cheeks.
"Not sleeping in the middle of the night, sneaking up behind me—were you trying to scare your Senior Brother?"
Bibi Dong rubbed her face, playfully stuck out her delicate tongue, and stepped forward, her eyes fixed with wonder and intensity on the palm of Lin Fan's hand, where faint traces of lightning still flickered.
"Senior Brother, what was that just now? Was that the soul skill released by your Star Seed martial soul..."
Just a moment ago, a thunderclap had echoed, and Bibi Dong, who had been cultivating, had even caught a glimpse of purple electric light flashing past her face.
Judging by the sound of the thunder alone, Bibi Dong felt its power was not inferior to her own first soul skill!
Of course, that was just a feeling.
Lin Fan nodded at her words, "That is indeed a type of soul skill released by connecting the Star Seeds of my Lightning Element martial soul."
"However, while its power might be comparable to your thousand-year soul skill, it possesses the inherent paralysis and penetration of my lightning, which should make it superior to your soul skill in other aspects."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong pouted, "Senior Brother, you really are something. It's one thing for your first soul skill to be so strong, but now this innate skill from your special martial soul is also this powerful."
"If it were combined with the amplification of your first soul skill, wouldn't it be far stronger than my first soul skill?"
"Don't worry, Senior Brother will definitely protect you in the future." Lin Fan ruffled Bibi Dong's hair affectionately.
"Hmph, Dong'er is very strong on her own; I don't need Senior Brother's protection." Despite her words, Bibi Dong dove into Lin Fan's arms, looking quite greedy for his presence.
"Junior Sister, let's cultivate together. I've been so busy controlling the Star Seeds these past two days that I haven't helped you with body tempering." Lin Fan smiled and whispered in Bibi Dong's ear.
Bibi Dong's face flushed red, but she nodded, "Okay!"
