"Feidinan, is this boy the Twin Martial Souls possessor you mentioned in your letter?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. The White Tiger and Hell Spirit Cat, both in one person. I really don't know how Dai Tianfeng manages to be emperor, letting a genius like this run straight into our Spirit Hall."
Yue Guan walked forward with a smile, studying Jiang Huai closely.
As the possessor of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Martial Soul, he was naturally infatuated with that supremely unyielding, supremely yang presence emanating from Jiang Huai.
"If His Holiness the Pope doesn't take you as a disciple, would you consider becoming this old man's student?"
Yue Guan spoke with a smile.
For some reason, although Jiang Huai knew that this Chrysanthemum Douluo was merely a little eccentric and didn't share the peculiar tastes of the legendary Scarface, his back still involuntarily tensed.
Still, Jiang Huai naturally had no reason to reject goodwill freely offered by a Super Douluo.
"If I have the good fortune, it would certainly be my honor."
Jiang Huai answered with a smile of his own.
"All right, Yue Guan, let's head back first. Completing His Holiness the Pope's instructions takes priority."
"As for you, Feidinan, now that you've entrusted this boy to us, hurry back to the Star Luo Temple. You'll receive every reward you're due."
Feidinan naturally nodded repeatedly in agreement.
After so many years, he had finally found an opportunity to advance again.
Compared with Yue Guan's flippancy, Gui Mei was quite serious in the way he handled things.
Once the handover was complete, he released his Soul Power, wrapped it around Jiang Huai's body, and flew toward Spirit City at full speed.
Sure enough, flying was the kind of romance every man loved!
Jiang Huai suddenly felt that the Blue Silver Emperor right leg Soul Bone hidden behind Holy Soul Village had a profound affinity with him!
As an agility attack-type Super Douluo, Gui Mei was far faster than Feidinan. With Yue Guan escorting them as well, the three traveled who knew how much faster than on the journey here.
Mountains and rivers rapidly receded before his eyes.
As evening approached, the outline of Spirit City appeared before Jiang Huai.
Viewed from the air, the entire city was hexagonal, its six walls each engraved with Martial Soul emblems representing the various factions.
At first glance, Jiang Huai noticed the Clear Sky Hammer among them.
He had to admit, Old Qian was quite a character.
His dear son Qian Xunji had been severely injured by Tang Hao, giving Dongzi the opportunity to send him on his way, yet the Clear Sky Hammer emblem was still here.
He wasn't even going to replace it?
As his feet touched the ground again, Jiang Huai gathered his thoughts and looked up at the Papal Hall before him.
It was far grander than the Platinum Temple in Star Luo City.
Most of the decorations before the hall, as far as the eye could see, were made of gold.
If he had to describe it in a single phrase, it would be: terrifying indeed.
As the enormous white marble doors slowly opened, two people came into view, waiting for them.
One was a girl of about eleven or twelve, but her well-fitted clothes outlined every curve of her figure.
She stood beside the throne, looking curiously toward the entrance.
Hu Liena?
As for the woman seated upon the papal throne, she held the Pope's Scepter and wore the Nine-Curved Purple Gold Crown. Her black robe patterned in gold only made her look more imposing.
Wine-red hair fell beside her shoulders, her skin was delicate, and her features remained gorgeous.
Jiang Huai genuinely couldn't understand how Gangzi had been willing to give up Bibi Dong.
"Your Holiness, we've brought him."
Gui Mei and Yue Guan cupped their hands in salute, then stepped aside of their own accord and waited quietly.
Hu Liena curiously took two steps forward, her gaze falling on Jiang Huai as the corners of her lips rose.
What an adorable little junior brother. She simply had to lavish affection on him!
"Jiang Huai greets Your Holiness the Pope!"
Without a trace of stage fright, Jiang Huai likewise raised his hands in salute, lifting his head to meet Bibi Dong's gaze!
At that very moment, the fifth choice he had selected earlier took full effect.
Pity from the Pope! Activate!
Lord Cupid was working his magic!
With just her very first look at Jiang Huai,
Bibi Dong's obsession with Gangzi, that little crew-cut white moonlight of hers, began rapidly disappearing.
In its place, her mind filled with nothing but Jiang Huai's image!
Yu Xiaogang, we're not close. Don't contact me again. I'm afraid Jiang Huai might misunderstand!
Bibi Dong had already decided to first confirm his Martial Souls when they met, then ask whether the child was willing to become her disciple.
Yet when she truly saw Jiang Huai clearly, her first thought was only to lavish affection on the little fellow before her!
Such a young child, traveling all the way from Star Luo City. He must be exhausted, right?
The experiences mentioned in the confidential letter also resurfaced in her mind at that moment.
His mother had just passed away, his father paid him no attention, and even after awakening his Martial Souls, he had to worry about being targeted by his own elder brother.
What a pitiful child!
But how could her obsession with Gangzi be so easily erased?
As a legendary pilot favored by fate, Jiang Huai had clearly won his gamble this time.
What Jiang Huai had triggered was naturally becoming the shadow of the white moonlight in Bibi Dong's heart.
Yet at this moment, that fifty-percent chance of a secret chamber scenario was also flooding Dongzi's mind.
Two completely opposing sets of underlying code malfunctioned in Bibi Dong's mind, frantically elbowing each other,
leaving her feeling somewhat dizzy for a moment.
As the saying went, a young married woman's blush surpassed everything. At this moment, Bibi Dong looked all the more alluring.
Still, she had been pope for so long, and Dongzi quickly suppressed the strange feelings in her heart.
Bibi Dong, oh, Bibi Dong, what are you thinking? Jiang Huai is still just a child.
Then Dongzi forced herself to maintain a calm expression and gave a small, affected nod.
"Good. Your presence has indeed reached rank ten. There is no doubt that you have Innate Full Soul Power."
"The confidential letter said you have Twin Martial Souls, the Hell Spirit Cat and White Tiger. Release them and let me see."
At her words, Jiang Huai indicated that he had no objection.
As the Martial Soul phantom bearing the bloodline presence of the Light White Tiger filled the Papal Hall, the eyes of the powerhouses present all began to change.
Did those Star Luo Empire barbarians' white cats possess such might?
The Hell Spirit Cat that appeared next also exuded a presence completely different from that of an ordinary Nether Civet Martial Soul.
"No, these aren't an ordinary White Tiger and Hell Spirit Cat."
In a flash, Bibi Dong appeared before Jiang Huai and began examining him closely.
Cultivating the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum to great completion could grant diamond-like indestructibility, and Gui Mei's Ghost Shadow Martial Soul was likewise outstanding among yin-attribute Martial Souls.
Yet when the two of them sensed these two Martial Soul presences from Jiang Huai, it was like mayflies trying to shake the blue heavens.
Terrifying indeed!
