Successfully Taking a Disciple, SSS-Rank Evaluation

Qian Xunji was clearly unwilling.

But in the end, Qian Daoliu forced him to agree.

However, he had one condition.

"What condition? Go ahead."

Thinking of his Divine Second Martial Soul, Lu Xuan was in a splendid mood. Even "Little Ji" looked somewhat more pleasing to him.

Qian Xunji looked sullen as he said darkly:

"Supreme Douluo, even if you are a peak powerhouse, you cannot seize things by force. I heard that you killed several Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. I want two 100,000-Year Soul Bones in exchange!"

"Also, Bibi Dong is the Holy Maiden of our Spirit Hall and holds a special status. For the sake of Spirit Hall's prestige, she must first leave Spirit Hall before becoming your disciple."

Lu Xuan nodded readily.

"Sure. I agree."

Qian Xunji froze, suddenly feeling somewhat regretful.

Had he asked for too little?

Lu Xuan looked at Qian Daoliu and said:

"However, since this is a transaction, the favor I promised you before will not be worth as much."

Qian Daoliu felt utterly helpless, thinking only that his son was too short-sighted.

How could a mere 100,000-Year Soul Bone and some reputation compare to a favor from Lu Xuan?

"Let it be so, Supreme Douluo. After all, Bibi Dong is the Pope's disciple, and he has the right to decide her fate."

Okay, deal sealed!

Lu Xuan rummaged through his storage belt, picking and searching through its contents.

Hmm.

A 380,000-Year Deep Sea Devil Whale left leg soul bone—no.

A 260,000-Year Deep Sea Swordfish right leg soul bone—no.

A 180,000-Year Arctic Emperor Penguin head soul bone—no...

After picking through them for a while, Lu Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"It shall be you, the 110,000-Year Arctic Ice Crucian Trunk Bone!"

After all, Arctic Ice Crucian was a rare and delicious fish for making soup.

What a bargain for "Little Ji."

Lu Xuan generously handed the Ice Crucian trunk bone to Qian Xunji, kindly reminding him:

"This Ice Crucian trunk bone makes an exquisite soup."

"You can still use it after making soup with it. Want to have a taste before absorbing it? Maybe after tasting how delicious crucian soup is, you will not be willing to absorb it?"

Lu Xuan wore an expression of deep reluctance, as though parting with something dearly beloved.

Qian Xunji's eyes had been burning with excitement as he reached for the soul bone, but after hearing Lu Xuan's words, his hand involuntarily stiffened.

This soul bone was a fish bone Lu Xuan used for soup?

Half-believing and half-doubting, he took it and instinctively sniffed. To his surprise, he truly smelled the fragrance of crucian soup!

Qian Xunji's face immediately darkened.

Lu Xuan said, "Do you want it or not? If not, forget it!"

Qian Xunji gritted his teeth.

"I want it!"

"But where is the other 100,000-Year Soul Bone?"

Lu Xuan suddenly understood. With great reluctance, he took out the second 100,000-Year Arctic Ice Crucian Head Soul Bone and said resentfully:

"Little Ji, I am entrusting all my soup bones to you..."

Beneath the Sky Screen, every viewer saw the conversation between Lu Xuan and Qian Xunji clearly.

"Damn, this former Pope is so lacking in vision. He openly demanded 100,000-Year Soul Bones. How is that any different from selling his disciple?"

"Why am I actually looking forward to His Holiness the Pope becoming Supreme Douluo's disciple? Though Supreme Douluo is already a Limit Douluo, he cannot be much older than His Holiness the Pope was back then, right...?"

"Haha, Supreme Douluo is too creative. He used legendary 100,000-Year Soul Bones to make soup, and the former Pope actually swallowed his pride and accepted them!"

"Nonsense. These are 100,000-Year Soul Bones. Even if they had been fished out of a latrine, people would still fight over them!"

"Supreme Douluo is ruthless. Just how many Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts has he killed?"

Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong stared blankly at the Sky Screen.

In that other time and space, her fate had truly changed, and it was all because of that white-robed, sword-bearing man—Lu Xuan.

However, Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Tyrant Sect, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, as well as several other powerhouses across the continent, were focused on something entirely different.

Supreme Douluo was taking Bibi Dong as his disciple...

If the Sky Screen showed Supreme Douluo teaching Bibi Dong, would that not make them students auditing Supreme Douluo's lessons?

This was the guidance of a Limit Douluo!

And Supreme Douluo was the youngest Limit Douluo in the world.

His teachings were priceless to begin with!

At that thought, the eyes of many powerhouses grew fiery.

Especially Star Luo Emperor Dai Zhen.

"If I can glimpse the secret of Supreme Douluo's physical strength through the Sky Screen... That would be a treasure no city could buy!"

Sword Douluo, meanwhile, felt regretful.

He dearly wished to hear Supreme Douluo discuss the sword, but Bibi Dong's martial soul had nothing whatsoever to do with swords.

Yet he also harbored faint expectations.

"If the me from that other time and space is as devoted to the sword as I am, then he will never pass up the chance to discuss swordsmanship with Supreme Douluo! When that happens, I too can audit Supreme Douluo's Sword Dao!"

Sky Screen timeline—

Bibi Dong, still Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden at this time, was brought before Lu Xuan and Qian Xunji with a bewildered expression. Then, she suddenly received terrible news.

Before everyone's eyes, Qian Xunji, the Pope of Spirit Hall, announced:

"Holy Maiden Bibi Dong possesses the Death Spider Emperor martial soul, an evil attribute. Recently, elders have repeatedly remonstrated that the bearer of an evil martial soul is unfit to serve as Holy Maiden. Today, I strip Bibi Dong of her position as Holy Maiden!"

"And expel her from Spirit Hall!"

The young Bibi Dong's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.

Lu Xuan examined Bibi Dong in her younger days.

Mm, wine-red long hair, skin as fair and lustrous as snow, an exquisitely oval face, a graceful figure, and a pure white Holy Maiden robe. Her temperament was gentle, like spring wind and rain.

Tsk, she was practically a different person from Pope Bibi Dong.

Qian Xunji said coldly:

"Bibi Dong, we were master and disciple after all. Though your martial soul is evil, I cannot bear to see you wandering helplessly. From now on, Supreme Douluo will guide you."

"I hope you remember Spirit Hall's teachings and do not fall into the evil path in the future."

The comments outside the Sky Screen exploded.

"666. If she does well later, it is Spirit Hall's credit for teaching her. If she does poorly, it is because she forgot the Pope's teachings. This former Pope is way too good at PUA!"

"Boohoo. Holy Maiden Bibi Dong is so pitiful. Her own teacher sold her, and she does not even know it. The shattered look in her eyes breaks my heart."

"Uh, you are sympathizing with the Pope now? Her future teacher is Supreme Douluo. What are you?"

"Wow. This is the first time in my life I have seen the Pope. Was His Holiness the Pope really this beautiful when she was young? Her temperament was so gentle!"

Bibi Dong blankly watched her younger self on the Sky Screen.

A tear silently slid down her cheek.

In the time and space where she lived, the former Holy Maiden Bibi Dong was already dead.

Hopefully, in that other time and space, she could find a good home...

Crown Prince's Palace.

As she watched the Sky Screen, Qian Renxue's eyes grew misty.

She had never felt maternal love from Pope Bibi Dong, yet when she saw the gentler version of Holy Maiden Bibi Dong, her heart suddenly trembled, and she instinctively wanted to call her mother.

How ironic...

Soto City.

Yu Xiaogang wore the foolish expression of an infatuated man.

"Dong'er..."

"Ding! Disciple acceptance assessment successful. Evaluating Bibi Dong's rank..."

"Evaluating fortune..."

"Evaluating aptitude..."

"Evaluating comprehension..."

"Ding! Bibi Dong's final evaluation: SSS-rank!"

Lu Xuan was immersed in the system notifications.

It was like celestial music clearing his ears!
