Soul-Eater Spider Emperor + Death Spider Emperor-Wasn't This Basically a Copy of Bibi Dong?!

"Not bad, kid! You're a real talent!"

"I knew it! How could a disciple raised by Spirit Hall possibly be weak?"

"Soul-Eater Spider Emperor and Innate Full Soul Power. Just imagining it sounds incredible!"

The people of Spirit City in Spirit Plaza erupted into cheers. Everyone clapped and shouted their approval, as if they were the ones who'd awakened a top-tier Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power!

Innate Full Soul Power was the mark of a future Titled Douluo. As long as its owner didn't die young, they were certain to become one.

On top of that, Lin Tian had awakened a top-tier beast-type Martial Soul. With proper training, Spirit Hall would soon have another powerful Titled Douluo.

Ning Fengzhi let out a long sigh. A trace of heaviness crossed his refined, easygoing face. As the head of the world's foremost auxiliary Martial Soul sect, he had an almost obsessive longing for promising Power Attack System Soul Masters.

Unfortunately, Lin Tian was a disciple taught by Spirit Hall's Pope. Although he wanted to recruit the boy into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, that was never going to happen.

Beside him, Sword Douluo's breathing grew unsteady. He'd nearly stepped in to act several times, but in Spirit Hall, where experts were as common as clouds, the moment he made a move, he'd be reduced to a pile of bones.

In the viewing area on the high platform reserved for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects, clan elder Yu Luomian wore a grave expression. Everyone said Spirit Hall had countless geniuses, and after seeing this for himself today, he had to admit they were extraordinary.

Yu Luomian had come to attend the ceremony in place of the old Dragon King, and had brought two talented juniors from his clan. He'd hoped to familiarize the boys with Spirit Hall's cultivation environment and see if they could learn something about training their Martial Souls.

But when they saw Lin Tian on the Martial Soul Awakening Platform, their expressions instantly turned grave.

Innate Full Soul Power and the Soul-Eater Spider Emperor—he was sure to become the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's most powerful rival in the future.

After all, Soul Masters with Innate Full Soul Power were far too powerful!

Meanwhile, Xue Qinghe, seated on the high platform, grew more and more suspicious of Lin Tian's identity. Had the boy really just been adopted?

Was a Soul-Eater Spider Emperor Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power really so easy to adopt?

Or was this boy actually that woman's illegitimate son?

The adoption story was nothing more than an excuse she'd given the public!

The two elders, Ghost and Chrysanthemum, stared at the boy on the Martial Soul Awakening Platform in disbelief. To possess one of the Douluo Continent's top Martial Souls at such a young age, along with Innate Full Soul Power—his future was surely bright.

Bibi Dong had no idea that the two lackeys had already cooked up a whole scandalous drama in their heads. Her rose-red eyes were fixed on Lin Tian as she considered his special reward.

What should she give the boy?

Bibi Dong closed her eyes and thought for a moment, but still couldn't come up with anything worthwhile.

Forget it!

She'd just ask him what he wanted after the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony was over.

As long as it wasn't too outrageous, she'd reluctantly agree.

What sort of ulterior motives could a six-year-old child possibly have?

On the Spirit Hall Awakening Platform, the Soul Master who had just awakened Lin Tian's Martial Soul smiled obsequiously and said:

"Your Martial Soul has been awakened. You may step down now!"

Lin Tian drew the Soul-Eater Spider Emperor back into his body, but stayed where he was on the Awakening Platform. Instead, he put on a puzzled expression and spoke to the Soul Master in a childlike voice:

"Mister, why do I feel like there's another power stirring inside me? It feels really strong—stronger than the power from before."

"Th-this... Don't be afraid, child. I'll examine you right away."

The Soul Master froze for a moment, then a look of astonishment spread across his face. His eyes were full of shock.

Good heavens!

If his estimate was right, this child must have Twin Martial Souls!

His Second Martial Soul was probably just as extraordinary as the Soul-Eater Spider Emperor—one of the Douluo Continent's top Martial Souls!

"Child, congratulations. You're one of the chosen few with Twin Martial Souls. You have a second Martial Soul inside you!"

The moment he said those words, everyone present lost control of their expressions—not just him. The revelation struck like a bolt from the blue, leaving them all stunned.

Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power—he was sure to become a Titled Douluo one day.

Bibi Dong shot to her feet in the Spirit Hall viewing stand. She could no longer keep her composure. Her face, once as cold as frost, now brimmed with surprise.

This boy was the perfect Holy Son for Spirit Hall!

Even if the old codgers in the Worship Hall objected, she would still make Lin Tian Spirit Hall's Holy Son. He had the qualifications now!

The two elders, Ghost and Chrysanthemum, had a daring thought at the same time. Could the boy's Second Martial Soul be the Death Spider Emperor?

If that were true, this was going to be one hell of a scandal!

On the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's viewing stand, Xue Qinghe, who had always been gentle and refined, suddenly erupted in fury. He kicked a maid beside him, then strode to the railing, staring fixedly at Lin Tian on the platform.

The boy had the same [Soul-Eater Spider Emperor] + [Death Spider Emperor] Twin Martial Souls as his mother, and he had Innate Full Soul Power, too. What more was there to say?

Bibi Dong had definitely betrayed his father and secretly slept with another man, giving birth to this illegitimate son!

"Damn it! How could Grandfather trust that madwoman with Spirit Hall?!"

Xue Qinghe's outburst immediately drew Prince Xue Xing's attention.

Seeing the Heaven Dou Crown Prince lose his composure like that, he hurried over to soothe him in a low voice:

"Qinghe, don't be angry. The maids haven't been properly trained yet, so it's only natural they're a little clumsy. Give me a few more days to train them, and I'll send them to your chambers to serve you!"

"But you seem especially interested in that boy whose Martial Soul was just awakened."

A cold glint flashed in Prince Xue Xing's eyes. As the brother of Emperor Xue Ye, he was no fool when it came to scheming.

"Uncle, didn't you hear what the Soul Master said? The boy has Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power. He's practically a Titled Douluo in the making!"

"Our Heaven Dou Imperial Family has an army of a million, but we don't have a single Titled Douluo. I'm worried that if war ever breaks out between the two sides, we..."

Xue Qinghe was quick to react. He immediately blamed his earlier outburst on Lin Tian's Twin Martial Souls. After all, as the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, worrying about a future invasion was a perfectly reasonable excuse.

"Qinghe, don't worry. The boy may be exceptionally talented, but he's still just a child. Whether he becomes a Titled Douluo depends on whether he manages to grow up safely!"

"Don't forget, your uncle has Titled Douluo experts at his disposal, too! I promise you, if that boy ever leaves Spirit Hall's protection, I'll have him killed!"

"A Soul Master genius who hasn't grown up yet is nothing to worry about."

Prince Xue Xing picked up a cup of wine from the table and drained it in one gulp.

Talent was certainly important, but if someone couldn't grow up safely, what good was it to be gifted? In the end, they'd be nothing but a pile of bones, forgotten by everyone!

Just like the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was in an uproar.

Even Ning Fengzhi, who was usually so composed and dignified, had lost his customary poise. He stood up in shock, staring fixedly at Lin Tian.

Beside him, a killing intent rose in Sword Douluo's heart. The sword qi swirling around him shredded the tables and chairs on the viewing stand into dust.

Spirit Hall already had a formidable force of Soul Masters. If they gained another future Titled Douluo, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's position would become even more precarious!

At the same time, Bibi Dong could no longer contain her excitement. She flashed forward and appeared on the Martial Soul Awakening Platform in an instant.

The Soul Master in charge of the awakening hurriedly bowed to Bibi Dong.

"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope!"

Bibi Dong waved her hand, indicating that he didn't need to bow. Then she stared at Lin Tian, unable to look away. She wanted to know what his Second Martial Soul was, too.

At last, under the gazes of the entire crowd, Lin Tian successfully revealed his Second Martial Soul.

The Death Spider Emperor!

Black and red web-like patterns spread across Lin Tian's body. Then a gigantic, hard-shelled spider appeared behind him.

The Soul-Eater Spider Emperor was sharp and bloodthirsty, but the Death Spider Emperor's mental suppression was far more terrifying.

With just a single glance, the old Soul Master in charge of the awakening was overwhelmed and lost consciousness.

"Lin Tian, put away your Martial Soul. You did very well this time. Mother wants to appoint you as Spirit Hall's Holy Son. Are you willing?"
