"Roaar~"
Suddenly, a vast, ferocious dragon's roar resounded throughout Spirit Hall.
At that moment, even Bibi Dong, who possessed twin martial souls, felt her legs shake and her lips tremble.
"This is a dragon... and an extremely high-ranking one..."
Beside her, Qian Renxue's face flushed red, and she seemed unable to breathe.
Qian Daoliu swept his hand through the air, blocking the oppressive aura.
Only then did Qian Renxue feel better. She tugged at Qian Daoliu's clothes and said softly, "So powerful!"
Qian Daoliu narrowed his eyes at the raggedly dressed Chen Jue, his thoughts unreadable.
Even Golden Crocodile Douluo, who was cultivating far away in the Worship Hall, was shocked by the dragon's roar.
The phantom of the Golden Crocodile King behind him immediately dropped flat on the ground and covered his ears, as though he had heard something terrifying.
His was a top-tier beast martial soul. Even a top-tier martial soul like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon could not suppress it.
Clearly... the martial soul that had unleashed that dragon's roar was at least divine-grade, perhaps even higher.
Golden Crocodile Douluo turned his gaze toward the distant Spirit Hall.
"When did such a prodigy appear in Spirit Hall?"
At the same time.
In the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Countless sleeping hundred-thousand-year soul beasts jolted awake, their breathing quickening all at once!
The black dragon king resting at their head opened his eyes.
The Beast God-Di Tian!
A former subordinate of the Dragon God.
Beside him was the Hell Demon Dragon King-Zi JI.
And an exquisitely beautiful Emerald Swan-Bi Ji.
They opened their eyes as well, trembling all over as they listened to that terrifying, ferocious dragon's roar.
They were afraid! Di Tian spread his wings to cover them and murmured, "This pressure... it feels like the Dragon God!"
"No... the Dragon God split apart long ago. Only the Silver Dragon King remains on this continent now!"
"Who could it be?"
The Dragon God's roar gradually faded.
Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu exchanged a glance, the hostility in their eyes clashing.
Both told themselves inwardly.
This boy cannot fall into the other's hands, or he will pose a significant threat to my future!
After all, the two had never belonged to the same camp.
Just as Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu were about to step forward and win Chen Jue over.
A pitch-black longsword wreathed in the power of destruction suddenly appeared in his hand!
In an instant, every plant around them was annihilated by that destructive power.
Even Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu sensed a hint of danger.
Both were Titled Douluos, and Qian Daoliu was even a Limit Douluo.
The fact that they could sense danger was enough to show how terrifying the destructive power radiating from the Sword of Destruction was.
Qian Daoliu's expression grew solemn. "Twin martial souls, both divine-grade. A genius like this is without equal across the entire continent. Only I should nurture such a talent!"
"I just don't know whether he'll resent me for looking down on him earlier!"
With that, he sighed, regretting his earlier words and actions!
Just as he was about to take cultivation resources from his storage soul tool to win Chen Jue over.
The sight before him left him utterly dumbfounded.
"Tr... triple martial souls..."
Even Bibi Dong covered her mouth, speechless, the shock in her eyes plain for all to see.
She had thought her twin martial souls already stood at the pinnacle of the continent.
She had never imagined something as terrifying as triple martial souls could exist in this world.
"Triple martial souls... how terrifying!"
Behind Chen Jue, a mysterious vertical pupil quietly appeared. It seemed filled with endless life and vitality, rings of life energy circling around it.
The instant that vertical pupil slowly opened, a light of life seemed to spill forth, enveloping everything nearby in warm vitality.
The already shocked Qian Daoliu was completely stunned.
What a terrifying healing ability!
Even the lingering injuries a Level 99 Limit Douluo had previously inflicted on him showed a faint sign of recovery at that moment.
Chen Jue had only just awakened his martial souls, yet he was already this terrifying.
Once he reached the rank of Titled Douluo, wouldn't he be outright invincible?
"The power of life, the power of destruction, and the power of a dragon king! Isn't that offense and defense rolled into one?"
"And he has level twenty-five innate soul power, several levels higher than Xiao Xue's. A talent like this must be mine, no matter the price!"
With that, Bibi Dong clenched her fists. She was determined to secure a prodigy like Chen Jue.
Then Chen Jue withdrew his three martial souls and raised an eyebrow at Qian Daoliu.
"Triple martial souls, plus level twenty-five innate soul power. That should be decent enough, right?"
Qian Daoliu did not take offense at Chen Jue's mockery. Instead, he replied with a smile.
"It seems I misjudged you! I would like..."
Before he could finish, he felt a gust sweep past him.
Bibi Dong had taken Chen Jue's hand.
Damn, she beat me to it!
Chen Jue subtly rubbed Bibi Dong's soft, seemingly boneless hand.
[Ding! Target: Bibi Dong!] [Depth: 5%]
"What's your name?"
Bibi Dong bent down and smiled at Chen Jue.
Chen Jue tilted his head up slightly, an unusual gleam flashing through his eyes before he answered.
"My name is Chen Jue!"
Bibi Dong continued, "Chen Jue, would you like to become my disciple? I'll give you unlimited resources and nurture your growth!"
At her words, the corners of Chen Jue's lips lifted.
Now that sounds wonderful!
Most importantly, if I become her disciple, I can spend every day with her, and I'll get resources too.
Time to soar~
When Chen Jue did not answer, Bibi Dong assumed it was because the two men at the entrance had refused to let him in earlier.
She immediately glared at the guards peeking in from the entrance.
Cold sweat instantly poured down their bodies!
If their earlier contempt caused Chen Jue to leave in the end, their offense would be enormous!
After all, Chen Jue was a prodigy with outstanding talent.
If he stayed in Spirit Hall, its overall strength would surely rise to another level.
At that thought, they immediately ran forward, knelt before Chen Jue, and shakily kowtowed in apology.
"Sir, we had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai!"
"Please be magnanimous and treat what we said earlier as nothing but hot air!"
At the sight, Snake Lance Douluo went pale, cold sweat streaming down his face.
He had mocked Chen Jue earlier too. If Chen Jue held him accountable, he would not escape blame.
He could only hide quietly to one side, hoping Chen Jue would not notice him.
Chen Jue stood there, somewhat lost in thought, and said nothing. Thinking his anger had yet to subside, Bibi Dong immediately rebuked the two men with icy fury.
"Haven't you embarrassed yourselves enough? Slap yourselves ten times each, then get out!"
With that, Bibi Dong crouched down and gave Chen Jue a sweet smile, seeming like an entirely different person from a moment ago!
"Are you satisfied now?"
"Huh?! Yes, don't make things difficult for them. Just let them leave!"
Chen Jue breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought Bibi Dong had discovered what he had just been thinking!
Bibi Dong nodded and immediately dismissed the two guards.
Upon hearing that, the guards took to their heels, afraid Chen Jue might change his mind.
However, just as Chen Jue was about to agree to take Bibi Dong as his master, Qian Daoliu hurried forward and cut him off.
"You're being too hasty, Bibi Dong!"
He shook his head leisurely and turned his gaze to Chen Jue, a playful smile curling his lips.
"I am a Level 99 Limit Douluo. Only I am qualified to be your master!"
"And you needn't worry about resources. Whatever Bibi Dong can give you, I can give you too. Whatever she cannot give you, I can still provide!"
Bibi Dong's brows knitted tightly, displeasure flashing in her eyes.
"No! His triple martial souls have a certain connection to my twin martial souls. Becoming my disciple would bring him a hundred benefits and not a single harm!"
"Hmph!"
Qian Daoliu snorted coldly and turned his sword-sharp gaze toward Chen Jue, an unmistakable threat flashing in his eyes.
He spoke slowly, his voice deep and imposing.
"You'd better think carefully about becoming her disciple! Watch out..."
Startled by his words, Bibi Dong immediately pulled Chen Jue behind her, shielding his chest with both hands.
She glared at Qian Daoliu. "You've gone too far! How dare you threaten a child!"
Qian Daoliu chuckled, ignoring Bibi Dong and looking at Chen Jue instead.
Seeing Chen Jue's blank expression, he assumed his threat had achieved its purpose.
He smiled and said, "Think it over carefully."
Qian Daoliu straightened his back, seemingly convinced that Chen Jue becoming his disciple was already nailed down.
Yet Chen Jue had not heard a word he said. After all, his gaze had been fixed on Bibi Dong the entire time.
