You're Right About Everything, So I Won't Listen

It was three days later by the time all the villagers were buried and settled.

One village, 879 corpses, 879 coffins.

Before leaving, Cen Yu took one last look back at the village.

"Goodbye, my home."

His master had already issued a wanted notice, sealing the entrance to the Slaughter City and ordering the capture of all evil soul masters within the borders of the two great empires.

He figured it wouldn't be long before he could take his revenge.

Star Dou Forest.

Bibi Dong looked at Cen Yu with a troubled expression.

"I forgot to ask, Xiao Yu, can you only absorb one soul ring, or can each of your Twin Martial Souls absorb one?"

If they shared the same limit, she would have to be much more cautious in her selection of soul rings.

Cen Yu sensed his own body, then said regretfully, "Master, World-Ending Heavenly Mother and Miao Shi Heavenly Maiden are actually two sides of the same coin, black and white."

"So, it seems I can only absorb one soul ring every ten levels. The soul skills are shared, but the effects differ."

"I see..." Bibi Dong nodded, falling into deep thought.

Suddenly, Yue Guan spoke up, suggesting, "Your Majesty, I believe we should avoid soul beasts that share the same attributes as Cen Yu's martial souls."

"The choice of soul ring should lean toward strength, soul power, mental power, or defense to avoid a clash between the attributes of his two martial souls."

Hearing this, Gui Mei also spoke, "Your Majesty, Cen Yu's martial souls are one light and one dark; no matter which attribute soul ring he absorbs, I fear one will grow while the other wanes."

Isn't that how the cultivation of Twin Martial Souls works? If one side becomes too dominant, the soul master could explode and die.

Bibi Dong clearly realized this as well.

"In that case..."

Suddenly, Cen Yu's eyes turned red.

"Master, don't worry, it's all the same no matter what soul beast we absorb~"

"My martial souls and I are unique existences in this world; no matter the soul beast, its attributes will be assimilated by my martial souls."

Hearing this, Bibi Dong and the other two were startled for a moment, but quickly found it reasonable.

With a god-level martial soul and innate full soul power of level twenty, there truly wasn't any soul beast that could influence his attributes.

Bibi Dong teased, "Then what age limit are you planning for your first soul ring?"

"However, according to the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul..."

Hearing this, Gui Mei and Yue Guan exchanged glances, both wearing expressions as if they had just swallowed something bitter.

The corner of Cen Yu's mouth twitched as well.

He suddenly felt that this master was beyond saving.

What kind of sane person asks about the age of a soul ring in one breath and then immediately quotes the plagiarist's book in the next?

"Master, I feel that with the strength of my martial souls, I can absorb a thousand-year soul ring; anything under 1,500 years should be fine."

"Nonsense! Do you know..."

Bibi Dong's words were cut off by Cen Yu before she could finish.

"Alright, alright~ I know that book about martial souls Master mentioned is very impressive~ Everything Master says is right~"

"So, I want a thousand-year soul ring."

"..."

Seeing this, Gui Mei and Yue Guan immediately stared at their own noses, barely holding back their laughter.

Heaven knows how disgusted they felt whenever they heard the name Yu Xiaogang, yet Her Majesty still insisted he was a man of talent.

In the end, Bibi Dong couldn't win against the second personality of Cen Yu and had to go find a suitable soul beast.

After she left, Cen Yu asked Yue Guan with a look of nausea, "Uncle Yue Guan, is Master always like this?"

Yue Guan was stunned and asked in confusion, "Like what?"

"..."

"Always so silly... er, so..."

After thinking for a long time, Cen Yu couldn't come up with a word to describe Bibi Dong that wasn't an insult.

How was he supposed to say it? He was only a six-year-old child right now; he couldn't exactly call Bibi Dong a love-struck fool, could he?

He thought again...

"Does Master always like reading books so much?"

"..."

Hearing this, Gui Mei and Yue Guan fell silent.

With things laid out this plainly, how could they not see that the brat was trying to mock the Pope for bringing up that book by Yu Xiaogang?

Although they wanted to curse as well, they had no choice; after all, she was their leader, and they had to maintain her dignity.

Yue Guan gave an awkward laugh: "Don't think about such nonsense. The Pope is only worried that you might be in danger from absorbing a spirit ring beyond your level."

He wasn't wrong; Bibi Dong was indeed worried that Cen Yu might suffer an accident by absorbing a spirit ring above his limit.

But part of it was also because she still somewhat believed in that trashy book Yu Xiaogang had plagiarized and cobbled together.

After another long while, a thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider was tossed in front of Cen Yu by Bibi Dong.

"Come, finish it off, then sit cross-legged and use your spirit power to guide and absorb the spirit ring."

Cen Yu looked at Bibi Dong with a complicated expression, the corner of his mouth twitching again as he didn't know what to say.

After a long silence, he asked speechlessly: "Master, do you have some kind of grudge against me?"

Although this Man Faced Demon Spider was indeed 1,500 years old, hitting the exact limit he needed, Cen Yu suspected that Bibi Dong was retaliating for his impatience regarding that trashy book earlier.

Out of all the spirit beasts she could have chosen, she just had to pick such an ugly thing for him.

Bibi Dong said with a faint, inscrutable smile: "How could that be? This is a spirit beast your master specifically selected for you."

"..."

Sigh... something is better than nothing, I'll just have to make do.

Thinking this, Cen Yu summoned World-Ending Heavenly Mother.

Following that, World-Ending Heavenly Mother struck with a single spear thrust, launching the dying Man Faced Demon Spider into the air.

In that split second, the Man Faced Demon Spider in the sky seemed to suffer countless attacks at once, exploding into a mist of blood with a bang.

Then, its energy began to slowly converge, condensing into a pale purple spirit ring in the air.

"Hmm~ this way it isn't so ugly anymore, barely acceptable~"

Cen Yu gently raised his hand, and the spirit ring flew toward him.

The three people on the sidelines were stunned; even after living for decades, they had never seen such a brutal way of absorbing a spirit ring.

Yue Guan sighed with emotion: "As expected of a genius with Innate Soul Power of level twenty; even his method of absorbing a spirit ring is so extraordinary."

However, is this really a six-year-old child?

Why does it feel like he understands everything? Could it be that he is precocious, taught by his family? Or is it an effect of his martial soul?

Suddenly, Bibi Dong realized what was happening.

This brat was clearly dissatisfied with the spirit beast she found and was using this method to vent his frustration!

She looked at Gui Mei and Yue Guan and asked: "Do you two think there is something wrong with the spirit beast This Seat found for him?"

As the words fell, the expressions of the two men stiffened.

Are you kidding? How are we supposed to answer that? Why does she make things difficult for us every single day???

Yue Guan's brain spun at high speed, and he provided a perfect answer.

"Your Holiness, this subordinate feels that little Cen Yu likely believes that shattering the spirit beast allows for better absorption of the energy within the spirit ring."

"After all, it is a god-level martial soul; it is normal for there to be operations we don't understand."

Gui Mei also hurriedly nodded, echoing Yue Guan's words.

"Is that so..." Bibi Dong looked thoughtfully at Cen Yu, who was currently absorbing the spirit ring.
