"What... what kind of Martial Soul is that?" A flicker of fear crossed the Red Cardinal's face as he gazed at the enormous black tiger radiating an evil aura.
He was the closest to Qin Xuan, so he naturally felt the strongest Martial Soul pressure.
Although he was already a Soul Saint, his feet still unconsciously took two steps backward.
It seems Qin Xuan's White Tiger Martial Soul has mutated.
And at the instant that black pillar descended, it seemed to resonate with my Rakshasa Divine Power.
What an interesting boy...
Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes shifted as she pondered for a long while before finally speaking:
"Elder Chrysanthemum, I have important matters to discuss with Qin Xuan. Have him come to Pope Hall."
"Understood!" Yue Guan transformed into a golden streak of light and vanished in the blink of an eye.
The next second, he appeared in the plaza.
Before leaving, Bibi Dong glanced meaningfully at Qian Renxue, who stood in a corner with a veil over her face. Then the corners of her lips curved into a faint smile as she murmured to herself:
"This mutated White Tiger seems to share a great deal of affinity with my attributes."
"Especially that dark energy. It might even surpass my Twin Spider Emperor."
"Qian Renxue, you really have brought me a fine disciple!"
Meanwhile, in the plaza, Yue Guan sent the Red Cardinal a meaningful look.
The Red Cardinal was momentarily stunned. Only after scanning the children, who were chattering among themselves, did he come to his senses and announce:
"The Martial Soul Awakening ceremony is over. Everyone, please leave."
At his words, the children began filing out of the plaza.
As they left, the two girls—one with a cool, distant air, the other wearing her hair in a bun—pretended not to care as they glanced at Qin Xuan's face.
By pure coincidence, Qin Xuan was also quietly watching the two girls. Their eyes met in an instant, and a flush crept across both girls' faces.
One has innate seventh-level Soul Power, and the other has innate eighth-level. They're both quite talented.
With a little cultivation, breaking through to Titled Douluo in the future shouldn't be difficult.
After putting away his Martial Soul, Qin Xuan was already considering recruiting them.
When most of the crowd had dispersed, Yue Guan spoke:
"Qin Xuan, His Holiness the Pope invites you to the hall for a meeting."
"Mm." Qin Xuan nodded slightly, his heart completely undisturbed.
Bibi Dong's move was exactly what he had expected.
As its name suggested, the Nine Nether Evil God Tiger possessed nine attributes: evil, darkness, lightning, gale, time, space, strength, fire, and devouring.
It was somewhat like an upgraded version of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
But the Nine Nether Evil God Tiger had mutated through the fusion of the source power of the God-king-level God of Evil.
So in terms of destructive power alone, neither Bibi Dong nor the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could compare to the Nine Nether Evil God Tiger. They simply weren't on the same level.
The Nine Nether Evil God Tiger contained immense darkness and evil, making its attributes highly compatible with the Rakshasa God. That was what had drawn Bibi Dong's attention.
As a transmigrator, how could Qin Xuan not know that?
But the God of Evil was the embodiment of the laws of evil, a true force of law in the Douluo Plane. He was nothing like the mere First-Level God Rakshasa God.
At the same time, Qian Renxue's brows knitted together, and her face turned slightly pale.
The instant the Nine Nether Evil God Tiger appeared, the magnetic field of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul within her had clashed violently with it. She hadn't expected that.
Only after Qin Xuan put away his Martial Soul did the repulsive force between their opposing magnetic fields disappear.
No. That woman is probably planning to take Xiaoxuan as her disciple. I can't let her have her way!
Seeing Qin Xuan about to leave behind Yue Guan, Qian Renxue spread her Angel Wings and flew in front of them, blocking their path.
"Young Master, may I ask what this is about?" Yue Guan asked calmly, bowing slightly.
Although Qian Renxue wore a veil, any senior member of Spirit Hall could recognize her at a glance from her distinctive golden hair and eyes, and her partly concealed, breathtaking beauty...
Qian Renxue ignored Yue Guan and instead looked at Qin Xuan, speaking earnestly:
"Xiaoxuan, I never expected you to have innate twentieth-level full Soul Power. I was right about you."
"By the way, what's the name of your mutated White Tiger? Its attributes seem rather mixed."
Hearing this, Qin Xuan patiently explained, "My Martial Soul is called the Nine Nether Evil God Tiger. It has nine attributes, with evil and darkness as its main ones."
Qian Renxue froze where she stood, a complicated expression appearing on her face.
The Nine Nether Evil God Tiger's attributes were completely opposed to those of the Six-Winged Angel, yet they were a perfect match for Bibi Dong's Martial Soul.
If that was the case, wasn't Bibi Dong certain to take Qin Xuan as her disciple?
Besides, Qian Renxue had only first met Qin Xuan last night. She couldn't easily tell him about the hatred and grudges between her and Bibi Dong.
"Young Master, if there's nothing else, I'll take Qin Xuan and take my leave."
Seeing this, Yue Guan tried to walk around Qian Renxue.
Looking at Qian Renxue's lost expression, Qin Xuan grew solemn and said meaningfully:
"Young Master Qian Renxue, if you hadn't saved me, I might not have survived three days with the injuries I suffered last night."
"My life belongs to you. I, Qin Xuan, will always be yours!"
"So what if our Martial Soul attributes oppose each other?"
"What matters isn't the Martial Soul's attributes, but the person who controls it!"
With that,
Before Qian Renxue could respond, he followed Yue Guan and left.
Those words, spoken straight from the heart, made Qian Renxue, who had always been starved of affection, feel her nose sting and her eyes redden.
As she watched Qin Xuan disappear from sight, the weight in her heart lifted too.
Even if Bibi Dong took Qin Xuan as her disciple,
Given Qin Xuan's gratitude and loyalty, he would never do anything to endanger the Angel lineage.
Still... the evil energy of the Nine Nether Evil God Tiger seemed to far surpass that of Bibi Dong's Twin Spider Emperor. She wondered whether it might affect the Angel Deity in the future.
After considering this, Qian Renxue spread her Angel Wings and flew toward the Worship Hall.
She needed to tell her grandfather about the Nine Nether Evil God Tiger.
Qin Xuan pushed open the doors to Pope Hall and saw that, in the vast hall, Bibi Dong was the only one seated on the papal throne.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei, core elders of Spirit Hall, could only wait quietly outside the door.
He walked slowly to the center of the hall and greeted her:
"May I ask why His Holiness the Pope summoned me?"
Bibi Dong raised her beautiful eyes slightly and said calmly, "Don't play dumb, boy."
"Give me a detailed introduction to your Martial Soul."
"By rights, only a legendary god-level Martial Soul could awaken with innate twentieth-level full Soul Power."
"Besides the Six-Winged Angel, you're the second person I've ever seen with innate twentieth-level full Soul Power."
At this, Qin Xuan explained the Nine Nether Evil God Tiger's attributes and characteristics to Bibi Dong.
But he didn't reveal a single thing about the God of Evil.
