Idiot! Do You Even Know How to Use Your Martial Souls?

Icefire Yin Yang Well.

Saintess Bibi Dong had stayed near the little wooden cabin the entire time, being very obedient.

Yet Lu Xuan had yet to return.

Saintess Bibi Dong suddenly began to feel uneasy and could not help letting her imagination run wild.

Having been cast out by Spirit Hall, if Lu Xuan no longer wanted her either, she truly did not know what she was supposed to do in the future.

Fortunately, a red rainbow descended from the sky.

Bibi Dong instinctively stepped forward to greet him.

Lu Xuan glanced at her and said with satisfaction,

"You've been fairly obedient."

"I have no tolerance for idiots. What I hate most are people who cannot understand plain speech—people who are clearly told not to wander off, yet insist on courting death. Looks like you're not one of them."

Bibi Dong tilted her head in confusion.

Lu Xuan pointed at the spring where ice and fire converged.

"Do you see this ice pool and fire pool? They contain Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire energy. Unless a soul master possesses Ultimate Ice or Ultimate Fire, the moment they touch the pool water, even a Titled Douluo will meet a bitter end."

"That includes the flowers and grass here. They may look beautiful, but many of them are poisonous plants. See that patch of green? Those are Jade-Scaled Seven-Extremes Flowers. They release seven-colored corrosive poisonous miasma. If caught off guard, even a Titled Douluo would be severely injured. That red Cinnabar Lotus—touch it, and cold poison will invade your body..."

Lu Xuan spoke calmly, but goosebumps had already risen all over Bibi Dong's skin.

She stammered,

"Then... then if I hadn't listened to you and touched the icefire pool water, or these poisonous plants..."

"Oh, then I could only find a place to bury you."

Lu Xuan said it without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

Outside the Sky Screen.

After hearing the entire exchange between Lu Xuan and Bibi Dong, the viewers all felt their scalps tingle.

"This place looks like a treasure-filled, breathtaking paradise on earth, yet it hides so many dangers? As expected, the most alluring things are the most dangerous..."

"Damn, if I were His Holiness the Pope, I'd definitely be dead already. Although the Supreme Douluo said not to move around, I would have thought there was no danger in just touching some flowers and grass!"

"Isn't the Supreme Douluo too cold-blooded? His Holiness the Pope is his disciple, whom he traded two 100,000-Year Soul Bones for. Would he really let Her Holiness die?"

"Heh, don't you understand the Supreme Douluo's personality yet? He hates idiots. If his disciple were an idiot, he'd probably think it would be better for her to die!"

Some people also suspected that Lu Xuan was merely exaggerating the dangers to stop Bibi Dong from coveting his immortal herbs.

If people like Dugu Bo, Yang Wudi, Ye Qingshui, and Chrysanthemum Douluo, who knew what they were talking about, heard such thoughts, they could only say: good riddance.

Wherever spiritual treasures were born, fierce beasts would surely guard them.

But where were the fierce beasts in this place?

The only explanation was that the danger lay hidden beneath its beautiful exterior.

Thinking of something, Lu Xuan asked Bibi Dong,

"By the way, how old are you this year?"

"Seventeen."

"You're still pretty young. How strong are you?"

"I'm already a level 55 Soul King!"

When answering this question, a rare trace of pride appeared on young Bibi Dong's face. After all, among everyone she knew, no one her age was stronger than her.

The viewers outside the Sky Screen were also amazed.

"As expected of Her Holiness the Pope. She was already a level 55 Soul King at seventeen. Doesn't that mean she could break through to Soul Emperor at eighteen?"

But Lu Xuan's words doused them like cold water.

"Only a level 55 Soul King? Why are you so useless?"

"At your age, I was already challenging the Soul Douluo realm!"

The pride on Bibi Dong's face instantly receded like the tide, revealing a young girl's aggrieved expression as she argued softly.

"But I've already been cultivating very diligently."

"Not everyone can be as freakishly talented as you..."

Lu Xuan:?

His gaze swept over her, and Bibi Dong immediately fell silent.

Beneath the Sky Screen.

It was the first time the viewers had seen young Bibi Dong reveal such a wronged expression. Her features were already stunningly beautiful, and now she looked all the more pitiful and endearing.

"This time, I'm siding with Her Holiness the Pope. Other than the Supreme Douluo, who cultivates faster than her? The Supreme Douluo can't judge his disciple by his own standards!"

"I'm siding with Her Holiness the Pope too. Her Holiness is so aggrieved she's about to cry. Ahhh, this old man's heart hurts just watching her!"

"I've decided! I'm joining Spirit Hall. For no other reason—if I could see Her Holiness the Pope from afar just once every month, what a wonderful thing that would be!"

"Uh, can't you see her every day inside the Sky Screen?"

"You don't understand. How could the Sky Screen and reality be the same? And how could Her Holiness the Pope in her youth be the same as the mature Her Holiness the Pope?"

Lu Xuan sneered.

"What I hate most is people making excuses for themselves."

"Who are you? You have Twin Supreme Martial Souls and Innate Full Spirit Power, yet you compare yourself to that trash?"

"Idiot, do you even know how to use your martial souls?"

Young Bibi Dong had always been doted on in Spirit Hall, and all she had ever heard were words of praise. When had she ever been scolded like this?

Bibi Dong blinked, and her eyes gradually filled with mist.

Lu Xuan sighed and said,

"Tell me, what are your martial souls?"

"Death Spider Emperor and Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor."

"Then do you know what my martial soul is? What do you think I relied on to grow so quickly?"

Bibi Dong shook her head.

Outside the Sky Screen, every viewer perked up their ears.

Excitement surged secretly within them.

Was it finally coming?

Was the Supreme Douluo finally going to reveal the secret behind his rapid growth?

This was the secret the entire continent wanted to know!

Lu Xuan said calmly,

"My martial soul was originally the Seven-Kill Soul-Devouring Sword, mutated from the Seven Kill Sword. In the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, there is a Sword Douluo Chen Xin, whose martial soul is the Seven Kill Sword."

"The Seven Kill Sword is unmatched in slaughter, but compared to it, the Seven-Kill Soul-Devouring Sword has one additional attribute: devouring. I can devour the souls of creatures I kill and increase my strength."

"Think about it. Isn't that somewhat similar to yours?"

Bibi Dong said softly,

"Teacher, you mean... my Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor martial soul?"

Lu Xuan said in frustration,

"Don't tell me you've never used your second martial soul even once!"

Young Bibi Dong replied timidly,

"I never thought of it before. Besides, doing that seems wrong. I... I don't dare..."

Lu Xuan was so angry that he laughed.

He realized that although young Bibi Dong was obedient, her naive innocence had been maxed out.

"What is right, and what is wrong? The strong devour the weak. That is the eternal law of this world."

"Listen. In the Star Dou Great Forest, there is a soul beast called the Dark Devilgod Tiger. This soul beast possesses the Evil God Bloodline and can devour other creatures to increase its cultivation. Its combat power is formidable; once it reaches ten thousand years of cultivation, it can challenge soul beasts with one hundred thousand years of cultivation. Therefore, the Dark Devilgod Tiger is not tolerated by other soul beasts."

"But if the Dark Devilgod Tiger does not devour other soul beasts, will the other soul beasts trust it or spare it? A man may be innocent, but he becomes guilty by possessing a treasure! Whether the Dark Devilgod Tiger is good or evil is irrelevant. As long as it possesses the ability to devour, it will inevitably become a target for extermination!"

"If the Dark Devilgod Tiger rejects its own devouring power, what awaits it will surely be a siege by powerful soul beasts, followed by being eaten. If it wants to survive, it must grow stronger through devouring!"

"Bibi Dong, your level of stupidity has truly opened my eyes."

"If you think devouring is a sin, then even if you never use that ability, you are still guilty. So why are you still alive? You might as well end your own life!"

Young Bibi Dong was rendered speechless.

The worldview and values she had held throughout her life suffered an enormous impact. Overwhelmed with panic and confusion, she hugged her knees and began to sob.
