Bibi Dong's Scheme!

The next day.

Jiang Yuan was summoned to the Pope Palace, where he met Qian Xunji—and, to his slight surprise, Bibi Dong.

Qian Xunji looked at Bibi Dong, his entire bearing radiating satisfaction and pride. Then he turned to Jiang Yuan and said with a smile, "Xiao Yuan, you've seen Dong'er before, but I suspect you don't really know her. Today, I'll introduce her to you."

"Dong'er was Spirit Hall's previous Holy Maiden, and she was once my disciple."

"Her spirit power has now reached as high as rank ninety-five, and she holds the position of Adjudication Elder in my Spirit Hall."

"Moreover, like you, she is one of the only two twin-spirit masters on the continent today. Your talent is rarely seen in this world, so I believe Dong'er is the teacher in Spirit Hall best suited to you."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan's heart sank with a thud.

Become Bibi Dong's disciple?

Despite Bibi Dong's normal appearance now, he knew the madness and twisted nature hidden in her heart. She was absolutely a lunatic who could explode at any moment.

And he also knew that Bibi Dong's ultimate goal was to destroy Spirit Hall and destroy the Angel clan.

Taking someone like that as his teacher made Jiang Yuan feel a chill crawl over him.

But Qian Xunji had personally spoken. How was he supposed to refuse?

"You are Jiang Yuan, yes? Are you willing to take me as your teacher and become my second disciple?"

Bibi Dong looked at Jiang Yuan and nodded in satisfaction. No matter what else, Jiang Yuan was especially adorable. In terms of appearance alone, he was extremely likable.

Bibi Dong was satisfied, but Jiang Yuan found himself in a difficult position for a moment.

He did not want to take Bibi Dong as his teacher, but in the current situation, it seemed he had no room to choose.

"Your Holiness, have you perhaps forgotten this old man? When it comes to teaching Jiang Yuan, this old man should be even more suitable."

Just then, a deep, powerful voice came from outside the hall. The three of them turned to look and saw Golden Crocodile Douluo, with a head full of white hair and a tall frame, striding into the hall with steps full of oppressive force.

"Greetings, Second Elder!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo's arrival was beyond the expectations of all three, but facing him, even Qian Xunji did not dare act superior.

Rank ninety-eight spirit power, the second strongest person in Spirit Hall.

On top of that, in terms of seniority, he was a generation above even Qian Daoliu. Even Qian Daoliu had to show him some courtesy when they met.

Naturally, Qian Xunji would not put on the airs of the Pope.

As for Bibi Dong, her strength was insufficient. Even Qian Xunji had endured it, let alone in other respects.

As for Jiang Yuan...

He was still at the level of an ant, not worth mentioning!

Golden Crocodile Douluo's arrival disrupted the three people's thoughts, but Jiang Yuan inwardly let out a sigh of relief.

Compared with the lunatic Bibi Dong, he did indeed lean more toward Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"Second Elder, the Pope already spoke just now. Jiang Yuan will be taught by me."

"Besides, when it comes to teaching twin spirits, Second Elder does not seem especially skilled, does he?"

Bibi Dong looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo expressionlessly, unwilling to give up Jiang Yuan as a disciple just like that.

When it came to Jiang Yuan, she had even deeper plans.

She had seen the phenomenon produced when Jiang Yuan awakened. The Void Ancient Dragon Spirit was definitely a super spirit no weaker than the Angel Spirit, and was absolutely the strongest dragon-type spirit on the Douluo Continent.

If she could study and understand the situation of the Void Ancient Dragon Spirit, or even extract Jiang Yuan's spirit origin, then perhaps Xiao Gang's spirit might complete its mutation and break through rank thirty?

A chilling thought flashed through Bibi Dong's mind.

"Hmph! Jiang Yuan's spirits are top-tier assault-type spirits of the dragon and phoenix categories, while you, Bibi Dong, seem to walk the path of a control-type spirit master, do you not?"

"This old man's Golden Crocodile King Spirit shares similarities with the Void Ancient Dragon Spirit, and Qingluan Elder's Qingluan Spirit belongs to the same category as the Ancient Sky Phoenix Spirit. Only in the Consecrated Hall can Jiang Yuan more perfectly bring out the traits of his two great spirits."

"As for cultivating twin spirits..."

As he spoke, Golden Crocodile Douluo cast a sidelong glance at Bibi Dong, and an immense pressure flickered briefly from his body.

"Do you think the Grand Elder doesn't understand the key points involved?"

"Teacher!"

Bibi Dong's heart tightened, and a cold feeling flashed through her. Knowing she could not win against Golden Crocodile Douluo, she turned to Qian Xunji, her voice softening slightly. In a direction Jiang Yuan and Golden Crocodile Douluo could not see, her eyes shimmered with tears.

Jiang Yuan lowered his head, suppressing the shock in his heart.

Bibi Dong could actually go this far in front of Qian Xunji?

She really was a terrifying woman.

Qian Xunji's heart trembled, and for no reason, a pang of pity rose within him. He looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"Second Elder..."

"Your Holiness, this is not merely this old man's intention. It is also the Grand Elder's intention."

Golden Crocodile Douluo did not wait for Qian Xunji to continue and spoke with a serious expression.

Jiang Yuan's talent had tempted not only him; every one of the consecrators in the Consecrated Hall had been moved by it.

They were all renowned powerhouses in the world of soul masters.

But now, they shared one regret.

That was that no one could inherit the skills they had spent their lives mastering.

For every person of strength, especially an old man at the Titled Douluo level, having someone to pass on his mantle to was undoubtedly the greatest fortune.

After all, no one wished to see a lifetime's worth of abilities lost.

Qian Renxue was talented enough, but she had Qian Daoliu to teach her, and in the future she would also accept the Angel inheritance. She was not a suitable candidate.

The appearance of Jiang Yuan, a genius who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Qian Renxue, had undoubtedly allowed them to see hope.

"Well..."

Seeing how forceful Golden Crocodile Douluo was, and with his own father's will behind him as well, even Qian Xunji found himself in a difficult position.

"Why not let Jiang Yuan decide for himself who he wants to cultivate with?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo was old and shrewd, and he also knew he could not leave Qian Xunji with no way to step down. After all, Qian Xunji was Qian Daoliu's son and Qian Renxue's father.

So he took the initiative to give ground, looking at Jiang Yuan as he spoke.

"Good, good, good. Then let Jiang Yuan decide for himself." Qian Xunji's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly nodded in agreement.

At once, the gazes of the three people in the great hall all fell on Jiang Yuan.

Being watched at the same time by three of the continent's top powerhouses, even a Titled Douluo would feel uneasy.

But Jiang Yuan was neither servile nor overbearing, without the slightest hint of nervousness.

In the eyes of the three, that composure alone was not something an ordinary person could possess.

Moreover, Jiang Yuan was only six years old.

"Thank you for your kindness, Adjudication Elder, but this junior still hopes to seek more guidance from the consecrators on the path of the assault system."

Jiang Yuan first bowed to Bibi Dong, then pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Very well, very well. It seems I have no master-disciple fate with you."

"But with the Consecrated Hall teaching you, I imagine you will also become a pillar of Spirit Hall in the future. Come visit me often when you have time. My disciple Hu Liena is likewise quite talented, and you are close in age. I believe you will have many topics in common."

Bibi Dong sighed somewhat disappointedly, but she did not show any anger. After offering Jiang Yuan a few words of encouragement, she was the first to leave the Pope Palace.
