Heir of the Rakshasa God

Bibi Dong gripped her scepter until it creaked, her eyes locked onto the Sky Screen. Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, standing by for orders, were so terrified by her aura that they didn't even dare to breathe.

Qian Daoliu was equally surprised. While Golden Crocodile Douluo and the other elders were unaware of Bibi Dong's true depths, Qian Daoliu knew them well.

If Bibi Dong was only third, what kind of monsters were the top two? Could it be that the Akademiya possessed two peerless Title Douluos under the age of fifty?

In Heaven Dou City, at Blue Tyrant Academy, Qian Renxue's expression was incredibly complex as she watched Bibi Dong's name appear on the Sky Screen.

Yu Xiaogang's face was just as complex, and perhaps a bit pale; he considered the possibility that the Sky Screen might expose the history between him and Bibi Dong.

Liu Erlong, however, was simply jealous. Her love-struck mind insisted that Yu Xiaogang refused to be with her because of Bibi Dong, rather than the reality that they were siblings—and close cousins by blood at that.

The Sky Screen then updated to show images of Bibi Dong, depicting her in her Martial Soul Hall Pope regalia, clutching a scepter and appearing exceptionally noble.

That unique temperament was truly something not everyone could command.

Of course, such an aura would also stir a desire for conquest in certain men; if one could conquer the Pope of Martial Soul Hall, it would surely satisfy an explosive sense of vanity.

However, the images that followed would pour a bucket of ice water over those restless men.

The Sky Screen immediately updated with two more images, both showing Bibi Dong in her true Martial Soul form.

The half-human, half-spider appearance was enough to instantly deter many, to say nothing of the venom in her Death Spider Emperor form that could dissolve a person in an instant.

The high-and-mighty, beautiful, and noble Pope stood in stark contrast to the ugly, terrifying, and repulsive true Martial Soul form.

Seeing the images displayed by the Sky Screen, Bibi Dong's face turned even darker. She rarely used her true Martial Soul form precisely because she did not want others to see that hideous appearance.

Now, this Sky Screen had exposed her in this state to the entire Douluo Continent.

She suspected the Sky Screen was targeting her, yet she was helpless to stop it.

At the same time, she wondered if the Sky Screen would make public the one event she least wanted to recall. If it were truly revealed...

Bibi Dong could not predict what would happen.

Ouyang Kong, already nearing Heaven Dou City, watched the Sky Screen begin its ranking of Bibi Dong. He thought that if all of Bibi Dong's secrets were exposed, the plot of the Douluo Continent would surely collapse.

However, that had little to do with him; he only needed to stay with Nahida and rebuild the Akademiya.

Sensing Ouyang Kong's gaze, Nahida offered a sweet smile. Indeed, the smile of Lesser Lord Kusanali was the most healing thing of all.

Inside Blue Tyrant Academy, Qian Renxue felt a secret thrill seeing that many were frightened by Bibi Dong's true Martial Soul form.

Sethos, Tighnari, Nefer, and even Dori and Collei showed no reaction.

Even Collei had dealt with many monsters; Bibi Dong's true Martial Soul form alone was not enough to scare her.

"The Martial Soul system is quite interesting. This should fall under the research of your Amurta, right?"

Nefer asked Tighnari.

"Yes, Amurta studies biology, ecology, medicine, pharmacology, and so on. Although Martial Souls are a new research project, they are based on the human body, so they fall under our Amurta. Miss Nefer, which Darshan are you from?"

"I didn't graduate. If I had to say, I suppose it would be Haravatat—studying history and lies."

"Haravatat studies the essence of knowledge through its composition; it is not merely history and lies."

Nefer smiled and did not argue with Tighnari, though their conversation left those who did not understand the Akademiya completely bewildered.

At this moment, the Sky Screen continued to update Bibi Dong's basic information.

[Affiliation: Martial Soul Hall]

[Age: 48]

[Martial Souls: Death Spider Emperor, Soul-Eater Spider Emperor]

[Soul Power Level: 98]

[Identity: Pope of Martial Soul Hall, Successor to the Rakshasa God]

Many knew Bibi Dong possessed twin Martial Souls, but apart from Qian Daoliu, no one knew she was the successor to the Rakshasa God.

Sure enough, upon seeing this information exposed by the Sky Screen, Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes widened.

"Big Brother, Bibi Dong... did you know about this?"

Qian Daoliu nodded.

"Sigh! This is one of the reasons I haven't moved against her."

Golden Crocodile Douluo laughed at himself. He had never held Bibi Dong in high regard, assuming any elder in the Worship Hall could suppress her. Now, it seemed he had been nothing but a clown.

"Big Brother, if Bibi Dong receives the Sky Screen's reward and accelerates her path to godhood, then..."

Qian Daoliu understood what Golden Crocodile Douluo meant. After a moment of contemplation, he sighed again: "Sigh, it is time to call Xue'er back."

Only a god could contend with a god. The only solution Qian Daoliu could think of was to call Qian Renxue back to complete the Angel God trials and inherit the position of the Angel God.

In the Pope's Palace, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were also astonished; they had only just learned that Bibi Dong was a divine successor.

But Bibi Dong could not be happy. The exposure of her status as the Rakshasa God's successor brought her no benefits at all.

She could only hope that the reward from the Sky Screen would compensate for the loss of her secrets.

In Heaven Dou City, at Blue Tyrant Academy, Qian Renxue's expression was also one of shock.

"She is actually the successor to the Rakshasa God. Does Grandfather know about this? If he did, why didn't he tell me? The Rakshasa God! Just hearing the name tells me it's no benevolent deity!"

Qian Renxue's thoughts were a tangled mess, yet she maintained a perfect facade, revealing not a single crack.

"Is a divine successor like Cyno, inheriting the power of Hermanubis?"

Sethos asked aloud.

"It shouldn't be that simple. The gods here likely refer to those with a divine rank, like the Seven Archons, rather than Demon Gods. A divine successor should inherit not just power, but the divine rank itself. I wonder if His Highness the Crown Prince agrees with my assessment."

Nefer suddenly called out to Qian Renxue, causing her heart to skip a beat. Could it be that my disguise has been seen through by her?

Qian Renxue looked at Nefer, whose expression remained a constant, smiling mask, and unable to discern any clues, she feigned confusion. "Ah? Why ask me, Miss Nefer? I am completely ignorant of such matters."

"Is that so? What a pity!"

On the other side, the word 'jealousy' was practically written all over Liu Erlong's face.

However, she quickly consoled herself: "So what if you're about to become a god? Yu Xiaogang is still by my side. In this regard, I am the winner, and she, Bibi Dong, is the loser."

Meanwhile, on Sea God Island, Bo Saixi also furrowed her brows. Bibi Dong was a divine successor; if she attained godhood, she might launch another assault on Sea God Island, and Bo Saixi had to be prepared.

Yet, if a successor to the Sea God were to appear, she would have to sacrifice herself to pave the way for the new god, a fate she was deeply unwilling to accept.
