Hearing this, Yue Guan said helplessly: "You overexerted yourself and passed out."

He took a look, picked up a burger from the side, and handed it over: "Here, eat up. The commoners gave this to you."

"Is that so?" Cen Yu took the burger, took a bite, and smiled at the commoners surrounding him: "Thank you, it's delicious."

After recovering his strength, upholding the principle of helping others to the end, Cen Yu led people back into the post-disaster reconstruction work.

But under these circumstances, something that made the Asura God even more furious occurred.

In this situation, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and the Star Luo Imperial Family acted as if they had lost their minds; for over ten days, there was not a single movement from them.

Not to mention coming to provide disaster relief, there wasn't even a word of consolation or any supplies.

The commoners were not fools; could they not tell which side was treating them well?

If it weren't for the disaster relief grain sent by Martial Soul Hall, they likely would have had many more people starve to death.

Soon, another month passed, Pope Palace.

In the process of disaster relief, by repeatedly breaking through his limits, Cen Yu's Soul Power Level reached level twenty-five under this pressure.

And after returning to Martial Soul City and absorbing Xiao Wu's spirit bone, his Soul Power Level leaped to level thirty, where it became stuck.

He only needed to obtain a third spirit ring to become a true Soul Elder.

It was just that... the youth looked inward, watching the golden energy flowing through his body with confusion.

It's so strange, why didn't I notice it before?

Bibi Dong watched his expression and asked curiously: "What are you thinking about?"

Hearing this, Cen Yu voiced his confusion.

"Hmm? Extra energy?" Bibi Dong frowned, placed her hand on the youth's forehead, and activated her spiritual power.

"Let me see..."

"Hmm."

This kid's spiritual sea is quite large.

"Hmm..."

As expected of someone with a split personality, even his spiritual sea is half holy and half evil.

"Hmm?!"

Suddenly, Bibi Dong let go, staring at her disciple in front of her with a stunned expression.

No way? Is he teasing me?

"What's wrong, Master? Could it be caused by me forcibly increasing my power with the spirit bone earlier?"

Hearing this, the corners of Bibi Dong's mouth twitched, and she didn't know where to begin.

After pondering for a long time, she said with envy: "Don't worry, there are no lingering side effects."

"The golden energy you mentioned, I suspect it is the power of faith. You should have seen it in books; the power of faith is also a way to become a god."

"You saved so many people before, and to thank you, they even built statues to worship you. I think your power of faith must originate from this."

Sigh, comparisons are odious. Cen Yu is just a child and he already has the power of faith.

Yet I am still suppressed by that damn god trial, unable to use the Rakshasa God power, nor can I even go all out.

"In short, this power of faith is transforming your soul into a godhead, but the amount is not enough."

"If you have the opportunity to obtain a large amount of the power of faith in the future, once your soul is completely transformed into a godhead, you will be able to become a god."

"And thanks to you, as well as the inaction of the two great empires, the reputation of Martial Soul Hall is now at an unprecedented high."

Hearing this, Cen Yu looked at Bibi Dong in surprise, remaining dazed for a long while before coming back to his senses.

The power of faith?

Isn't that how the Angel God became a god?

Wait, hold on!

If that's the case, wouldn't the Asura God be furious? He tried to be clever but ended up with a loss.

He went to such great lengths to cause an earthquake, not only failing to affect Martial Soul Hall but instead delivering them a gift of experience?

Hehe...

"By the way, Teacher, let me show you my newly acquired spirit bone skill."

"Hmm?"

The next second, before Bibi Dong could react, Cen Yu's figure instantly vanished from before her eyes, only to reappear and tap her on the back.

"What?"

Just as she turned around, he was gone again.

Cen Yu lay comfortably on the Pope's throne and said, "How about it, Teacher? This Soul Bone skill isn't bad, right?"

They say the protagonist gets the best treatment; even the effects of this Soul Bone are this good.

He had teleported several times, yet his soul power had barely been consumed. Doesn't this essentially amount to infinite displacement?

Bibi Dong was also somewhat surprised: "Is this that rabbit's teleportation? I didn't expect the Soul Bone to actually come with this skill."

As expected of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's Soul Bone; if one has enough soul power, this skill is truly near-perverted.

Just then, Cen Yu whispered into his own mind: "Ahem... Lao Ji, come out and help me out, love ya~"

He was thin-skinned, so he'd better leave the upcoming business to Lao Ji, hehe.

"Tsk..."

"Watch me perform."

Unbelievable, he's actually making him do such an embarrassing thing?

The next second, Red-Eyed Cen Yu came online.

As Bibi Dong's mouth twitched, he solemnly took her hand and gave a cheeky grin.

"Master~ Look—"

"Whoosh—!"

In just an instant, the youth was kicked back onto the Pope's throne.

Bibi Dong sneered: "I knew you little brat were up to something again. Good thing I acted fast."

Hearing this, Cen Yu's face darkened.

Damn it, he had only just finished the wind-up; why couldn't she let him finish his sentence?

This won't do...

After a moment of thought, the youth's eyes darted around, and he put on a tearful expression: "Wuwuwu... Master..."

"Do you know? That day, when I saw so many disaster-stricken areas, I was reminded of my own village."

"I just thought, if they were suffering like my family, how painful would that be!"

Bibi Dong listened to these words, becoming more speechless by the second, covering her face as she found herself unable to look at her disciple.

"Isn't that what White-Faced Cen Yu did? What does it have to do with you, you little brat? You, saving people like him? What a joke."

But Cen Yu was not deterred, maintaining his rhythm: "Master, you know that I lost my family when I was young..."

"That's why, that day, I used those four Soul Bones... But, three of them were meant for Senior Sister and the others!"

"Coming from a poor background, lonely and helpless, like a duckweed in the wind, where am I supposed to find three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone to return to them?"

As he said this, a single tear fell from the corner of his eye right on cue: "If I go out to search, those soul masters will surely see me as an easy target and snatch the Soul Bones away."

"They might even... kill me for the goods... wuwuwu..."

"..."

Hu Liena and the other two, who had just walked in, witnessed Cen Yu's entire monologue, their jaws nearly hitting the floor.

They never expected that their little junior brother would actually...

Bibi Dong looked at the three of them, just about to speak about Cen Yu, when she saw Hu Liena say with a face full of remorse: "No! Little Junior Brother! That's not your fault!"

"How could Soul Bones be more important than you? If they're gone, they're gone. You must not do anything foolish!"

Saying this, she looked at Bibi Dong: "Teacher... Little Junior Brother is truly too pitiful..."

"..."

After a brief moment of daze, Bibi Dong looked at her eldest disciple in disbelief.

What is wrong with Nana? Can she not see that this kid is just feigning pity? It's all just to get her to cough up three more Soul Bones.
