Bibi Dong

Biodata

Power Progression

Appearance

• Youthful appearance: Despite being approximately fifty, she has fair, delicate skin and looks around thirty, attributed to personal care and nourishment from Soul Power 15 36.
• Distinguishing features: Phoenix-shaped eyes, slender hands, and a curvaceous figure 15 20 22.
• Attire: Elegant papal robes and elaborate makeup emphasize her status as Supreme Pontiff 22 36.

Personality

Bibi Dong places great importance on papal authority. After wrongly blaming Ma Hongjun for behavior caused by his Martial Soul, she refuses to apologize publicly, believing that doing so would undermine her dignity. She nevertheless treats his wounds privately and seeks to compensate him, partly because his fourth-place ranking makes him worth recruiting 15 20.

Her attachment to Yu Xiaogang strongly affects her judgment. She continues to regard him as the continent's foremost Soul Master theorist despite the Heaven Ranking's criticism of his teaching. Later, she accepts an implausible explanation blaming Tang Hao for his mental collapse without questioning it 23 43.

She is affectionate toward Hu Liena but harsh and distrustful toward men. Her favoritism leads her to silence Ma Hongjun's defense when Hu Liena accuses him of assault. However, she shows genuine remorse after injuring her disciple under the curse's influence, accepting responsibility even when Hu Liena remains afraid of her 20 32 38 51.

Abilities & Skills

Twin Martial Souls

Bibi Dong possesses the same rare dual-Martial-Soul constitution that initially draws her attention to Tang San 3 4.

• She sympathizes with the damage done to Tang San's potential because she also possesses Twin Martial Souls 4.

• Can communicate with that god by paying a price 41.
• Her damaged state of mind is the obstacle preventing her final advance to godhood 35.
• Recognizes Ma Hongjun's cultivation method as a possible means of repairing that damage 35.

Bhagavad Gita Practice

Bibi Dong learns the movements of Ma Hongjun's dual-cultivation method by following his demonstrations 22 36.

• Joint practice produces intense joy and gradually repairs her state of mind 22 35.
• Practicing alone does not produce the same restorative effect 35.

• Offers Soul Bones in exchange for confirmed information about Tang Hao's whereabouts 43.
• Claims Spirit Hall possesses secret methods to disperse Soul Power or destroy a Martial Soul, while acknowledging that using the latter would cost her considerably 41.

History

Former Holy Maiden

Bibi Dong was once Spirit City's Holy Maiden and, by her own account, had many admirers. She loved Yu Xiaogang but never married him—or anyone else. She later tells him that she had been forced to leave him, without explaining the circumstances in the provided passages 23 43.

Memories of a secret chamber provoke visible fear. Her past suffering also leaves her with a damaged state of mind that obstructs her Divine Test 4 35 36.

Pride of Heaven Ranking

The ranking reveals talents whose abilities Bibi Dong cannot always explain. Rather than inventing answers, she admits uncertainty about whale rubber and suggests comparing later entries to understand the ranking's hidden criteria 2 7.

She orders protection for ranked prodigies and personally visits Shrek Academy's grounds because of the “Lord of the Netherworld” entry. Arriving too late, she believes Tang Hao has killed the prodigy and taken the Soul Bone. She condemns powerful factions for bullying the weak and seizing resources 7 14.

When Ma Hongjun ranks fourth, Hu Liena has him whipped for staring at Bibi Dong. The revelation that his Martial Soul influences his instincts embarrasses Bibi Dong, who had dismissed that explanation. She later keeps him behind, apologizes privately, and treats his wounds with special ointment 15 20.

Ma Hongjun's Cultivation Method and Curse

Ma Hongjun brings Bibi Dong a mysterious cultivation method that he cannot write down. His demonstration lifts her mood, and she joins the dance. Under its influence, she speaks openly about her love for Yu Xiaogang; learning that Tang Hao broke his legs abruptly restores her composure 22 23.

After Hu Liena accuses Ma Hongjun of attacking her and crippling Dai Mubai's hands, Bibi Dong orders his imprisonment without hearing his explanation. Yue Guan subsequently oversees his torture 32.

Bibi Dong later discovers that their joint cultivation is repairing her state of mind. Unable to reproduce the effect alone, she summons Ma Hongjun again, privately intending to kill him once her recovery is complete 35.

During their next session, Ma Hongjun places an irreversible curse on her. It subjects her to overwhelming bodily compulsions that only he can ease. She retaliates but orders that he be healed and kept alive, leaving her dependent on someone she had threatened to kill 36.

Her attempts to resist with ice, cold water, and other remedies fail. When she turns to Hu Liena for relief, she loses control and bites her neck. Horrified upon regaining her senses, she urgently summons a healer. Hu Liena survives but becomes frightened of her 38 39.

Bibi Dong eventually resumes guided cultivation with Ma Hongjun to suppress the curse. An interruption causes renewed urges toward reproduction and violence, forcing her to demand that he continue 41.

Reunion with Yu Xiaogang

After learning of Yu Xiaogang's injuries, Bibi Dong sends subordinates to search for him and resolves to provide the support his ambitions had always lacked 23 27.

Their reunion occurs after Spirit Hall's jailers have abused him into a witless condition. Bibi Dong believes Captain Wang's account that Tang Hao caused his collapse. She promises care and medical treatment, then offers at least one Soul Bone for verified information about Tang Hao's location, prompting a large search of the Star Dou Great Forest 42 43.

Recognition of Oscar

During the Dragon-Tiger Ranking, Bibi Dong notices that Oscar can create food without Soul Power. Unlike Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo, she recognizes the significance of the ability even though the sausages lack conventional support effects 47.

After a private discussion with Oscar, she improves his treatment, moves him into Spirit Hall's central residential district, and assigns a Titled Douluo to protect him during future Soul Hunting trips 51.

• Yu Xiaogang — Former lover whom she continues to idealize. She hopes to reunite with him and support his ambitions, then vows to care for him after discovering his mental collapse 23 27 43.
