The Holy Son of Spirit Hall?
At those words, Lin Tian was utterly stunned.
Everyone knew that within Spirit Hall, the Holy Son held a position of great honor. Even Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo had to obey his commands!
He hadn't expected His Holiness the Pope to give him such a tremendous gift right off the bat. It had truly caught Lin Tian by surprise.
"Lin Tian, your mother has appointed you the Holy Son of Spirit Hall. Are you willing?"
A hint of tenderness flickered in Bibi Dong's rose-red eyes, and there was a little more warmth in her voice than before.
"I..."
Lin Tian had just started to nod when a streak of red light landed on the high platform of Spirit Hall. Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo immediately cupped their hands in greeting.
"Greetings, Mighty Lion Douluo."
The newcomer was none other than the Fourth Elder of the Worship Hall, Mighty Lion Douluo.
Bibi Dong paid no attention to Mighty Lion Douluo. Her eyes remained fixed on Lin Tian, though the hand gripping the Pope Scepter had begun to tremble slightly.
What had that old lion come here for?!
As one of the Worship Hall's core powers, Mighty Lion Douluo, like the others, wanted Qian Renxue to inherit everything in Spirit Hall.
Not this sinister brat who had awakened the [Soul-Eater Spider Emperor] and the [Death Spider Emperor]!
Even with Innate Full Soul Power and the exceedingly rare Twin Martial Souls, he had no right to inherit the position of Holy Son of Spirit Hall.
This madwoman Bibi Dong clearly had no regard for the Worship Hall if she dared to do this.
"The position of Holy Son of Spirit Hall is of the utmost importance. There's no room for the slightest carelessness. I advise you, Your Holiness, to reconsider who will inherit it."
Mighty Lion Douluo stood with his hands behind his back, regarding Bibi Dong coldly.
So what if she was the Pope of Spirit Hall? She had no authority over the elders of the Worship Hall!
"The position of Holy Son concerns the future of all Spirit Hall. Until he has undergone a thorough assessment, he cannot be granted that position!"
Mighty Lion Douluo spoke with the utmost seriousness.
It was clear he held some prejudice against Bibi Dong.
"If Your Holiness insists on making this brat the Holy Son of Spirit Hall, then I have no choice. I'll have to kill him!"
Mighty Lion Douluo furrowed his brow and prepared to strike.
"Are you threatening me, Mighty Lion?"
Bibi Dong's brows knitted together, and her gaze toward Mighty Lion Douluo grew more guarded.
Mighty Lion Douluo's Martial Soul was the [Blazing Lion], and his Soul Power Level was as high as 96. He was an undisputed powerhouse of Spirit Hall.
The thought of fighting him made Bibi Dong somewhat uneasy.
After all, her Soul Power Level was only 93. If she fought Mighty Lion Douluo to the death, she would almost certainly be gravely wounded!
For Bibi Dong, who was determined to destroy the Angel Family, that was naturally unacceptable.
But if the elder dared to attack Lin Tian, she would have no choice but to fight to the death.
The reason was probably that this child had called her "Mom" for six years!
Mighty Lion Douluo and Bibi Dong continued their standoff on the Awakening Platform. Their confrontation frightened Lin Tian, the person caught in the middle.
Because just moments ago, he had sensed Mighty Lion Douluo's killing intent!
It was utterly pure killing intent. The man seemed ready to kill him at any moment!
Lin Tian looked up toward the Martial Soul Awakening Platform. His eyes met the brown, murderous gaze of the elder. That old lion really did want him dead.
This was bad. Really bad!
At the thought, Lin Tian hurriedly lowered his head, then nervously stepped out of the awakening formation. He felt none of the joy of awakening Twin Martial Souls. This left the representatives of the various Soul Master factions baffled. The brat had awakened Twin Martial Souls and possessed the exceedingly rare Innate Full Soul Power, so why did he still look unhappy?
Could it be that he didn't want to become a powerhouse?
Just then, having successfully completed his Martial Soul Awakening mission, Lin Tian received the system reward, [Spirit Eye].
As a cold system notification sounded in his mind, Lin Tian's eyes changed.
Look closely, and a hint of blue light could be seen within them.
To test the abilities of [Spirit Eye], Lin Tian looked toward Bibi Dong and Mighty Lion Douluo, still locked in their standoff.
A flash of blue light passed, and information about Mighty Lion Douluo's Martial Soul appeared in Lin Tian's eyes.
[Mighty Lion Douluo's Martial Soul (Blazing Lion) has been somewhat out of sorts lately, reducing its power by 50%. Taking a medicinal herb that replenishes qi and blood can improve its strength.]
[Bibi Dong's Martial Soul (Death Spider Emperor) is in excellent condition lately, increasing its power by 30%. Keep up the good work.]
As expected of a system product. It really was top quality.
With this, he would be able to see through anyone's Martial Soul.
Especially those self-important Soul Masters who thought their high-level Martial Souls would let them easily defeat their opponents. They had no idea Lin Tian could see their Martial Souls' condition at a glance.
But on the Awakening Platform, Mighty Lion Douluo seemed wary of Bibi Dong's strength and didn't make the first move.
After all, this woman was the legitimate Pope of Spirit Hall.
"Mighty Lion, don't be disrespectful to the Pope. Come back!"
Qian Daoliu's faint voice came from the sky, tinged with helplessness.
Mighty Lion Douluo was reluctant, but at the Grand Elder's insistence, he gave a cold snort and left.
With Lin Tian stepping down, the Spirit Awakening Ceremony finally came to an end.
The representatives of the various Soul Master factions felt conflicted. They had come hoping to see Spirit Hall make a fool of itself, but instead it had gained another genius with Twin Martial Souls.
It wouldn't be long before Spirit Hall had another Titled Douluo with Twin Martial Souls.
To curb Spirit Hall's growth, quite a few people had already considered assassinating Lin Tian. But this was Spirit City, the heartland Spirit Hall had built for itself.
Several Titled Douluo were stationed here. Forget an assassin—even a mosquito probably couldn't get in.
Mighty Lion Douluo eventually gave up his standoff with Bibi Dong and turned to leave.
A flash of red light passed, and Mighty Lion Douluo disappeared from the high platform. Bibi Dong remained silent, her rose-red eyes fixed on the direction Lin Tian had gone.
That brat had probably already decided what he wanted as his special reward.
But after such an outstanding performance today, it was time to reward him.
Spirit Plaza, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, viewing platform.
"Uncle Jian, let's go. I never expected Spirit Hall's disciple to be so outstanding. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect needs to prepare in advance for how to deal with Spirit Hall."
"I have a feeling that before long, all of Douluo will be shaken."
Seeing Spirit Hall's powerful figures leave, Ning Fengzhi sighed. Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power—such terrifying talent meant that if Lin Tian grew up safely, he would dominate his generation, including Ning Fengzhi's own daughter, Ning Rongrong!
And judging by Bibi Dong's words and attitude just now, Lin Tian might well become the next Pope of Spirit Hall.
Sword Douluo looked toward the place where Lin Tian had left, his eyes filled with indignation.
With this brat around, Spirit Hall would remain glorious in the future. As the older generation of the other sects gradually passed away, those factions would likely end up with their houses collapsing around them.
At the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the two Yu Tianheng brothers, who had once regarded Lin Tian as a rival, fell silent.
That brat from Spirit Hall had not only awakened Twin Martial Souls, but also possessed Innate Full Soul Power, and was being personally taught by Pope Bibi Dong. How were they supposed to compete with that?!
"What? You've only seen him once, and you've already lost heart? You need to remember that the Martial Soul awakened within you is a dragon. You possess the world's number-one Beast Martial Soul. So what if your opponent has Twin Martial Souls? We, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, never lose to anyone!"
