Soul Hunt

As he observed from the shadows, Qian Xunji found Li Pu increasingly intolerable. Even with his father Qian Daoliu's explicit instructions, a voice deep within him kept screaming that he had to kill him.

Regarding the tasks assigned to Chrysanthemum Douluo, he had consistently arranged for beautiful women to get close to Li Pu, even sending out direct descendants of the Angel family.

After all, not every descendant of the Qian family could possess the Six-Winged Angel; there would always be one or two who regressed into Radiant Four-Winged Angels or Sacred Two-Winged Angels, and these individuals would go on to form the Angel Legion.

Yet for Li Pu, he could appreciate the view but remained unmoved. That so-called honey trap was truly lackluster; aside from sending a few beauties his way, there was nothing else. Did they really think he hadn't seen beautiful women in Slaughter City?

A true honey trap is the "white moonlight" of one's heart—the ideal, the one you wish to grow old with. It is never about serving with mere looks; it is a blessing cultivated over lifetimes, a treasure rare and hard to find, a soul so perfectly compatible that even if one were to confess everything in the end, one would still be filled with tenderness for them.

If you lack a white moonlight, then customize one!

Attacking the heart is the supreme strategy of the honey trap.

Pierce through their will, corrode their soul.

Beauties are merely tools.

They are not comparable to the world-level intelligence of an empire's military genius who kneels to sing "Conquer" just for a scheme involving grain supplies.

Seeing that the honey trap was useless against Li Pu—not to mention drugging him—Qian Xunji had to seek other schemes.

Several months later, Bibi Dong reached level ninety, needing only one soul ring to advance.

At twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, she was the youngest Title Douluo in the history of the Douluo Continent.

Of course, Martial Soul Hall would not release this information.

Unlike some show-offs who think they are the number one talent and even run around with their soul beast wives.

Bibi Dong was missing a soul ring, and to make up for it, Qian Xunji had arranged for the very best.

"Elder Li Pu, would you be interested in joining us? I see you still only have one soul ring; why not come along and hunt? Starting with a ten-thousand-year second soul ring is not bad at all."

Qian Xunji had not forgotten Li Pu, nor did he realize that in Slaughter City, one could ignore the shackles of needing soul rings to break through every ten levels.

"Since the Pope invites, I shall not decline. As for the soul ring, there is no rush."

Li Pu was naturally in no hurry regarding soul rings; with the conditions in Slaughter City, why waste the opportunity to acquire one prematurely?

Qian Xunji led Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, taking Bibi Dong and Li Pu to hunt the target Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Bibi Dong did not refuse; if he was willing to hunt a soul ring for her, she would follow.

The group did not head toward the Star Dou Forest, but rather to a spider cave located in a deep, dark canyon.

The light in the spider cave was dim, with tattered webs visible everywhere and scattered bones appearing on the ground from time to time, creating a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.

The small spiders along the way were easily dealt with.

When they saw that the final target was a terrifying purple spider, Bibi Dong could hardly believe it. That spider was none other than the Death Spider Emperor, her own primary Martial Soul.

And it was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Given these conditions, Bibi Dong hardly knew what to say. If she had come looking on her own, it would have been nearly impossible to find a soul beast so perfectly suited to her own Martial Soul.

The more a soul master's target beast matches their own Martial Soul, the more beneficial it is, and the higher the chance of a soul bone dropping.

The entry of living beings into the cave caused the Death Spider Emperor to react. Sensing the aura of absolute suppression radiating from Qian Xunji, the beast—which had already developed human-level intelligence—immediately turned to flee.

Had it been anyone else, it would have lunged out to slaughter these damned intruders, but the sacred power emanating from Qian Xunji was simply too terrifying; it felt a primal fear from the depths of its soul.

It was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, yes, but it was not a mindless creature.

Qian Xunji drew the Angel Holy Sword inherent to the Angel Martial Soul. In an instant, he caught up to the Death Spider Emperor and slashed, severing two of its legs.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo followed to assist in the capture.

Li Pu couldn't help but exclaim, "So this is the Angel Martial Soul? Truly powerful!"

Bibi Dong gave a low, hateful glare: "No matter how strong, it is still just as disgusting!"

Li Pu continued, "If it were the opposite side, becoming a Fallen Angel, it wouldn't be much different, would it?"

The speaker had no intention, but the listener took it to heart. Bibi Dong seemed to conceive of a better method for revenge, the corners of her mouth curling slightly.

The Death Spider Emperor was no match for Qian Xunji, especially under the Angel Domain, where it was suppressed completely, its attributes drastically reduced.

As Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo clasped hands back-to-back, their eighteen soul rings overlapped.

"Two-Level Static Domain."

Once the Martial Soul Fusion Skill was unleashed, it descended upon the Death Spider Emperor, freezing it in place like a two-dimensional photograph.

"Dong'er, quickly obtain your ten-thousand-year soul ring as your ninth."

Bibi Dong moved at his command. Of course, she would not forgive this beast just because he had found her such a suitable soul ring, but she would not refuse his good intentions either.

Because Bibi Dong would never refuse anything that aided her revenge.

She arrived before the frozen Death Spider Emperor and unleashed her Death Martial Soul Avatar. Her form underwent a massive transformation: her upper body was covered in a layer of purple-black armor, and even her face was obscured by a carapace.

Below her eyes, four smaller eyes sprouted. One could even describe her as a green-faced, fanged monster!

Behind her was a massive sphere, from which eight claws extended.

Foul-smelling liquid dripped from her claws.

In a mere instant, Bibi Dong transformed from a noble and elegant saintess into a terrifying spider witch.

No one could have imagined that such a stunningly beautiful woman would possess such a horrifying true form of her martial soul.

The hundred-thousand-year Death Spider Emperor looked at Bibi Dong as if seeing one of its own kind, but it was to no avail; even among their own, they would devour one another, especially when a female spider consumed a male.

Unfortunately for it, it was male.

Bibi Dong then proceeded to devour it without a shred of mercy.

The more powerful a shortcut to strength, the easier it is to become addicted, and addiction is the beginning of becoming an Evil Soul Master.

Just like in the Hell Slaughter Arena of Slaughter City, where one can absorb the soul power of nine losers to enhance their own strength, Bibi Dong's second martial soul, the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor, could absorb the martial souls of other soul masters to increase its own capabilities.

Once one becomes addicted to using such methods, they slowly grow fond of these shortcuts, eventually falling into becoming a depraved Evil Soul Master.

However, the situation before her was different; much like hunting a soul beast to obtain a soul ring, Bibi Dong was completely absorbing the soul beast, a process nearly identical to a soul beast offering a full sacrifice.
