Becoming Bibi Dong's Disciple Would Be Great, but That's Loser Thinking!

The two worships stared at each other.

Golden Crocodile Douluo was beside himself with regret. If he had known Bai Ranmo's Martial Soul was this extraordinary, he would have taken the boy as his disciple before bringing him to the Great Enshrined.

Now he had no chance of winning against the Great Enshrined unless he played the age card. He was older than Qian Daoliu, after all. But strength ruled in the Worship Hall, and whoever was stronger was the senior. At his age, he couldn't bring himself to stoop that low!

Bai Ranmo sensed something strange in their looks and guessed they had discussed something through Soul Power Transmission.

He barely had to think. One glance at the Emotion Points rolling in on his panel told him they were probably talking about him.

He grinned and, happy to stir things up, went on describing the Six Eyes. Strictly speaking, the Six Eyes and Limitless could be considered separately. It was only the concept of Martial Souls that had bound them together completely.

"Aside from Limitless, the Six Eyes give me a full 360-degree field of vision with no blind spots. Even if my line of sight is blocked, I can still see..."

Bai Ranmo paused. For some reason, the Special Grade Cursed Tool, the fire extinguisher, came to mind.

He collected himself and continued. "I can also control Soul Power with extreme precision. That's why I can use Limitless in the first place. It reduces my Soul Power consumption, too."

"..." The two worships remained silent.

They exchanged a look.

Golden Crocodile Douluo's face filled with resignation. Well, even playing the age card wouldn't help him now.

It looked like he wouldn't be taking this disciple after all.

"Excellent." The corners of Qian Daoliu's mouth shot up. He was intensely glad he hadn't lost his mind and stopped his second-in-command from snatching Bai Ranmo away back then.

"Ranmo, would you become my disciple?" Qian Daoliu asked with utmost solemnity.

"I would, Master." Bai Ranmo naturally had no reason to refuse. He gave a proper disciple's salute.

Bibi Dong did treat her disciples well, but when it came to the resources he could gain, Qian Daoliu was unquestionably the best choice.

"Good. Since you've become my disciple and joined the Worship Hall, I must make one thing clear: you must not have too much to do with anyone from the Pope Faction!" Qian Daoliu nodded in satisfaction, then turned serious.

He felt guilty toward Bibi Dong because of what his wretched son had done, but her attitude toward Xue'er infuriated him too.

If not for Bibi Dong, his precious granddaughter would never have gone off in a huff to the Heaven Dou Empire to pose as some blasted prince.

Naturally, he didn't want his disciple getting entangled with the Pope.

"I understand, Master." Bai Ranmo nodded.

He had to admit that Bibi Dong's mature allure and Hu Liena's youthful charm were tempting, but—

As the renowned Jujutsu student Hajime Kashimo had once said, "That's loser thinking!"

"Good. Now that you're my disciple, and your Six Eyes Martial Soul leans toward the mental side, I'll give you a sixty-thousand-year-old Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull!"

Qian Daoliu touched his waist, where he seemed to have a Storage Soul Tool.

A streak of light flashed, and a pale-blue skull appeared in his hand.

"Absorb this Soul Bone after you obtain your First Soul Ring. Your Soul Power should reach level twenty soon after."

"Thank you, Master." Bai Ranmo froze for a moment, then accepted the Soul Bone.

Wasn't this Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull supposed to be awarded to Tang San at the future Soul Master Tournament?

Now the skull was his. He had stolen one of Tang San's opportunities.

So the skull had originally belonged to the Worship Hall. He wondered what Bibi Dong would offer Qian Daoliu in the future to make him give it up.

"Sun Chuantao." Only then did Qian Daoliu remember the little talent with level-eight Innate Soul Power standing nearby and call out to him.

"Great Enshrined!" Sun Chuantao snapped to attention.

"You have excellent talent too. From now on, you'll study under the Second Worship." Qian Daoliu could see that Sun Chuantao and his new disciple were close. The boy had talent, so he decided to entrust him to his second-in-command.

Golden Crocodile Douluo quietly rolled his eyes. So you take the best one and leave me the other?

Besides, I have a Beast Martial Soul. How am I supposed to teach someone with a Tool Martial Soul?

Still, the boy was fairly talented. Taking him in wouldn't be so bad.

"Ahem... For now, you may be my disciple in name. If you distinguish yourself, work hard, and show a willingness to learn, I'll formally take you on." Having made up his mind, Golden Crocodile Douluo clasped his hands behind his back and put on an aloof air.

"Ah, thank you, Master!" Sun Chuantao's face lit up. He had never expected the Second Worship to accept him as a disciple.

Bai Ranmo and Sun Chuantao settled into the Worship Hall. They had already been offered places at Spirit Hall Academy; whether they attended would be up to them.

Qian Daoliu kept Bai Ranmo behind to ask what he wanted for his First Soul Ring.

"Master, ideally, I'd like something related to space—especially gravity."

"Gravity?" Qian Daoliu frowned. That conflicted somewhat with his own plans, but rather than dismiss it, he asked, "Why?"

In his view, Bai Ranmo's Limitless was powerful, but it strained his mind as well as consuming Soul Power. His First Soul Ring would be better spent on a Soul Skill that strengthened his Mental Power.

"Because I can sense that protecting my body is only one part of what Limitless can do."

"Oh?" Qian Daoliu could barely keep his composure. What kind of monster had he taken as his disciple?

Limitless had more to offer?

"Yes. I've divided Limitless into roughly three applications. The first is neutral: using it to protect my body. The second is Attraction, and the last is Repulsion. If I can absorb a corresponding Soul Ring, I'll understand Limitless better and be able to create a similar Self-Created Soul Skill."

That was what Bai Ranmo said. He knew the principles behind Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue, but unlike Satoru Gojo, he had no family inheritance to guide him. He would have to rely on Soul Rings to deepen his understanding.

Even Okkotsu had struggled to use Blue while piloting the Gojo-version Mecha. However talented Bai Ranmo was, he couldn't learn it the moment his Martial Soul awakened. These things took time.

Qian Daoliu: "...!"

Qian Daoliu was stunned. Truly stunned.

His disciple had only just awakened his Martial Soul, and he was already thinking about creating his own Soul Skill? What kind of monster was he?

"If that's what you want, we'll follow your plan." Qian Daoliu forced back a smile.

Innate Full Soul Power was nothing special to the Angel Clan. Qian Daoliu himself had possessed level-nineteen Innate Soul Power. But his disciple's Martial Soul abilities were absurd!

He was already planning to "accidentally" drop by the other worships' homes with his disciple and "accidentally" show him off.

What a wonderful thought!

Bai Ranmo felt just as pleased.

Emotion Points, oh, Emotion Points. That old fellow Qian Daoliu was generous! No wonder he was one of only three Limit Douluo in the world. In just ten minutes, his Emotion Points had soared past 150,000.
