Becoming a Disciple

Chrysanthemum Douluo looked at Han Xing, then at Bibi Dong.

At this moment, he finally understood why Han Xing had the courage to ask Bibi Dong to take him as a disciple.

It was common knowledge that throughout recorded history, owners of Twin Martial Souls could basically only cultivate one of them.

Any soul master who attempted to cultivate both would suffer from their body exploding and die.

However, in the countless years of history, there had been one exception who successfully cultivated Twin Martial Souls to the Title Douluo level.

That exceptional soul master was none other than the Pope standing before him, Bibi Dong.

"Twin full soul power, two top-tier martial souls; no wonder you dared to take the initiative to ask for apprenticeship," Chrysanthemum Douluo remarked with emotion.

In his eyes, the Han Xing before him was simply the perfect successor to Bibi Dong.

The same innate full soul power, the same Twin Martial Souls, and both were of the highest tier.

If Bibi Dong didn't accept Han Xing after this, there would definitely be something wrong with her mind.

Sure enough, Bibi Dong wore an expression of astonishment at this moment.

"You are actually an owner of Twin Martial Souls!"

After the surprise, Bibi Dong's expression quickly turned serious. "How many people know about this?"

"Currently, only Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo and Your Excellency know," Han Xing replied.

"You didn't even tell the others at the Spirit Branch Hall?" Bibi Dong stared at Han Xing.

"In my opinion, it is not necessarily a good thing for them to know about my second martial soul," Han Xing shook his head.

"Not bad. For them, knowing such a thing is indeed not a good thing," Bibi Dong nodded in approval.

Although she was a bit unhinged at her core, it had to be said that when in a rational state, Bibi Dong's capabilities were still very strong.

After learning that Han Xing possessed Twin Martial Souls, she immediately set aside her inner rejection and even began to think of ways to keep this secret.

Bibi Dong looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo.

"Your Excellency the Pope, please rest assured. I will not tell anyone about this, including Old Ghost," Chrysanthemum Douluo promised.

"Mm, I trust your character," Bibi Dong nodded, then said to Han Xing:

"This matter must never be exposed. Until you break through to Title Douluo, only the three of us can know."

"I am the only one who knows the method of cultivating Twin Martial Souls. Since you possess them, I will accept you as my disciple."

Upon hearing this, Han Xing immediately bowed. "Greetings, Teacher!"

Bibi Dong said softly, "No need for such formalities. Since you have become my disciple, there is no need to be so particular."

"However, although you have become my disciple, I will not give you too many privileges."

"You must still go to the Advanced Soul Master Academy to cultivate. Only after you graduate and pass my test will I confer upon you the title of Holy Son."

"Please rest assured, Teacher. This disciple will never let you down," Han Xing nodded.

Bibi Dong did not respond, merely watching Han Xing.

After a moment, a jade pendant suddenly appeared in her hand.

"I see that the quality of your storage soul tool seems poor. This is a rare storage soul tool."

"The three jade stones on the pendant each have a storage space of twenty meters. Consider it a gift for your apprenticeship."

Having said that, Bibi Dong stepped down from the Pope's throne and personally handed the pendant to Han Xing.

"Cultivate hard. I have high hopes for you."

"My token is inside the pendant. If you have any questions in the future, you may use it to see me."

"During this period, I will not inform too many people that you are my disciple."

"Yes!" Han Xing nodded.

To him, the status of being the Pope's disciple did not actually have much utility within Spirit City.

The main use of this status for him was in territories outside of Spirit City.

With the status of the Pope's disciple, he could more easily gain the trust of the upper echelons of Spirit Hall when doing certain things.

"Alright, Yue Guan, take him down and arrange his accommodation," Bibi Dong waved her hand.

"You have been traveling for several days; it is time to find a place to settle down properly."

Upon hearing this, Han Xing and Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately bowed and left.

Watching their backs disappear completely from the Pope Palace, Bibi Dong's expression changed immediately.

Her current attitude toward Han Xing was very strange; she felt both disgust and a desire to win him over.

Fortunately, that disgust was not intense.

It was mainly because the aura displayed after his Golden Crow martial soul manifested was just a bit too similar to the Angel martial soul.

Both were so... bright... holy.

The only difference was that Han Xing possessed a burning sensation compared to the angel.

"Sigh."

With a light sigh, Bibi Dong returned to her seat and began to handle official duties.

Meanwhile.

As soon as they left the Pope Palace, Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately put on a stern face and looked at Han Xing.

"You little brat, I didn't expect you to have such a big secret hidden from me."

"It's a matter of great importance, Senior," Han Xing said with a scratch of his head and a laugh.

"Besides, only His Holiness the Pope can help me resolve the issue of Twin Martial Souls."

Hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression relaxed.

After two days of interaction, he had a good impression of the young man before him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have reminded Han Xing before arriving at the Pope Palace.

And what he said was true, regarding Twin Martial Souls, currently, no one except Bibi Dong had a solution.

"Senior, I want to ask, after entering the Spirit High-Level Soul Master Academy, can I still leave Spirit City?" Han Xing asked meaningfully.

"What, are you homesick?" Chrysanthemum Douluo asked, confused.

"That's not right, I don't think you're the type of person who can't adapt to a new environment."

"It's not homesickness, I just want to do some things and need some time to go out," Han Xing shook his head.

"I see, but you don't need to worry," Chrysanthemum Douluo explained.

"Although the Spirit Academy's education is strict, there are still summer and winter vacations."

"If you want to go out, it's more than enough time. You're not in a hurry, are you?"

"Then it's fine, I'm not in a hurry," Han Xing shook his head.

The thing he wanted to do outside was naturally to plan for the Immortal Herb, but it was still too early.

Going to Heaven Dou City at this time wouldn't benefit him much.

Compared to simply obtaining the Immortal Herb, he craved opportunities to appear more.

Therefore, he needed to ensure that when he went to the Sunset Forest near Heaven Dou City, the protagonist group led by Tang San had already arrived in Heaven Dou City.

"You seem to have something on your mind? Do you need me to accompany you?" Chrysanthemum Douluo asked casually.

"Can I?" Han Xing's eyes lit up.

He didn't know any Immortal Herbs, so it would be great if Chrysanthemum Douluo, who knew about them, accompanied him.

"No, you really want me to go with you?" Chrysanthemum Douluo was taken aback.

"Don't worry, Senior, the place I want to go will also be beneficial to you," Han Xing said with a smile.

"It's just that I haven't investigated it clearly yet. When I confirm the situation, we'll set off together then."

Hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo responded noncommittally.

"Alright, if that's the case, I'll accompany you then."
