Bibi Dong stared at the final line of text, her expression freezing once more.
Her Twin Martial Souls had always been Spirit Hall's highest secret.
Aside from a very few people, no one outside knew that she possessed a second martial soul.
It was a trump card she had hidden for many years.
Yet the Heavenly Screen had exposed her secret to the world in just a few short sentences.
"Heavenly Dao Ranking..."
"Even this has to be revealed?"
Bibi Dong dearly wished she could make the ranking shut up.
Unfortunately, there was nothing she could do about the Heavenly Screen.
The Papal Hall had already fallen into turmoil.
Several consecrates turned to look at Bibi Dong at the same time.
A rank ninety-eight Super Douluo!
Twin Martial Souls!
They knew Bibi Dong was powerful, but they had never imagined that she had already reached rank ninety-eight.
What shocked them even more were her Twin Martial Souls.
Twin Martial Souls were exceedingly rare.
Looking across the history of soul masters on the continent, there were only a handful of such possessors.
Even those who successfully awakened Twin Martial Souls might suffer conflicting soul rings and explode to death.
Not only had Bibi Dong resolved that problem, she had also cultivated both martial souls to such a level.
Such talent was enough to reign supreme over an era.
Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression turned solemn.
"Rank ninety-eight, Twin Martial Souls."
"Her Holiness the Pope truly is a genius Spirit Hall sees only once in a century."
Qian Jun Douluo looked at the figure upon the throne, wariness appearing in his eyes.
With the talent Bibi Dong had displayed, reaching rank ninety-nine was merely a matter of time.
In the future, Spirit Hall would inevitably gain another Limit Douluo.
Feeling the astonished gazes around her, Bibi Dong finally felt somewhat better.
At least the Heavenly Screen had proven her strength.
Those who had mocked her earlier should no longer be able to laugh now.
Yet a new question followed.
Twin Martial Souls, rank ninety-eight soul power.
Even she was only ranked tenth.
Just how powerful were the nine people ahead of her?
Several consecrates thought of the same thing.
The hall fell silent once more.
Star Luo Palace.
The Xing Luo Emperor abruptly rose from his throne.
"Rank ninety-eight!"
"Twin Martial Souls!"
The ministers who had previously believed Spirit Hall was all bark and no bite all changed expression.
Cold sweat appeared on one minister's forehead.
"Bibi Dong has hidden herself far too deeply."
"There are practically no openly known rank ninety-eight powerhouses on the continent."
"She also possesses two martial souls. Her true combat strength is likely even more terrifying."
The Xing Luo Emperor's expression was grave.
A rank ninety-eight soul master with Twin Martial Souls was enough to alter the balance between the two empires and Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong had concealed her strength for so many years. It could not possibly have been merely to secure her position as Pope.
Spirit Hall was certainly plotting something.
"Issue the order."
"Raise all of the empire's arrangements against Spirit Hall to the highest level."
Heaven Dou Palace.
The relief that had just appeared on Emperor Xue Ye's face vanished completely.
Prince Xue Xing stood with his mouth open, no longer able to claim that Spirit Hall was nothing special.
A rank ninety-eight Super Douluo.
Twin Martial Souls.
Bibi Dong alone was enough to suppress every Titled Douluo in the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family.
Not to mention that Spirit Hall also possessed the Hall of Consecrates and the Elder Hall.
Emperor Xue Ye looked toward the ministers beside him.
"This is the insignificant threat you spoke of?"
The ministers lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi's hand tightened slightly around his scepter.
"Bibi Dong actually has Twin Martial Souls."
"Spirit Hall has concealed this for years. Their ambitions must be considerable."
The disdain on Gu Rong's face disappeared.
"Rank ninety-eight soul power, along with Twin Martial Souls."
"If I fought her, I fear I would not last long."
Chen Xin watched the two Spider Emperor martial souls within the Heavenly Screen.
"She is more dangerous than we imagined."
"For such strength to rank only tenth, the top nine have already reached a level that ordinary Titled Douluo cannot touch."
Clear Sky Sect.
The laughter in the plaza came to an abrupt halt.
Several disciples who had sent comments calling her the Watered-Down Pope turned green, then pale.
If a rank ninety-eight soul master with Twin Martial Souls was watered down, then what did that make them?
Seventh Elder stared at the Heavenly Screen, unable to say a word.
Tang Xiao's expression was solemn.
"Bibi Dong has hidden herself too deeply."
"From today onward, no sect disciple may leave the mountain without permission."
"And none may take the initiative to provoke Spirit Hall."
The many disciples lowered their heads and acknowledged the order.
The heavenly comments erupted once again.
[Elephant Armor Sect Master Huyan Zhen: Bibi Dong is actually a rank ninety-eight Twin Martial Souls wielder!] [Star Luo Empire's Duke of Netherworld: Spirit Hall concealed this matter for years. What exactly are they trying to do?] [Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen: A rank ninety-eight Twin Martial Souls wielder only ranks tenth. I fear I have no chance of making the ranking.] [Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan: Who still dares call Her Holiness the Pope the Watered-Down Pope?] [Ghost Douluo Gui Mei: Why have those people from earlier stopped talking?]
Several consecrates of Spirit Hall watched the discussions filling the sky, but there was little joy on their faces.
Bibi Dong's trump card had been exposed.
The two empires and the Upper Three Sects would inevitably strengthen their guard against Spirit Hall.
This would be extremely detrimental to Spirit Hall's plans going forward.
Yet Bibi Dong showed no fear whatsoever.
She sat upright upon the papal throne, looking down at everyone in the hall.
"So what if they know?"
"What does this Pope have to fear!"
Above the Heavenly Screen.
The Death Spider Emperor and Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor appeared at the same time.
The two Spider Emperors occupied half the sky. Their savage spider legs slowly stretched outward as purple-black radiance spread in every direction.
Countless soul masters felt their chests tighten after merely glancing at them.
Majestic words continued to emerge.
[Death Spider Emperor, top-tier beast martial soul.] [Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor, top-tier beast martial soul.] [Both Spider Emperor martial souls possess the attributes of deadly poison, devouring, and death.] [Bibi Dong has resolved the soul-ring conflict of Twin Martial Souls and can wield the power of both martial souls simultaneously.]
The continent fell silent for a brief moment.
The next instant, dense comments covered the sky.
[Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen: Both are top-tier martial souls?] [Elephant Armor Sect Master Huyan Zhen: Twin Martial Souls are already one in ten thousand, yet both of her martial souls are top-tier!] [Star Luo Empire's Duke of Netherworld: Rank ninety-eight soul power, combined with two top-tier Spider Emperor martial souls... Bibi Dong's true combat strength is likely already close to that of a Peerless Douluo.] [Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan: How could the likes of you possibly fathom Her Holiness the Pope's strength?] [Ghost Douluo Gui Mei: Where are those who called her the Watered-Down Pope just now?]
Not a single soul master who had joined Clear Sky Sect in mocking Spirit Hall dared to respond.
Rank ninety-eight Twin Martial Souls.
And both martial souls were top-tier martial souls.
If someone like that was watered down, then barely anyone on the continent deserved to be called powerful.
Clear Sky Sect.
The atmosphere in the sect plaza had become oppressive to the extreme.
Tang Xiao raised his head to look at the two Spider Emperors, his expression grave.
Bibi Dong's strength had far exceeded his expectations.
Even with rank ninety-seven soul power and the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, he had no confidence in standing against Bibi Dong.
Several elders stood behind him, their earlier arrogance nowhere to be seen.
Seventh Elder gritted his teeth.
"Two top-tier martial souls."
"Why does Spirit Hall always produce monsters like this?"
