Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, everyone present fell silent.
No one believed Bibi Dong's extremely eloquent words, especially Lin Mo and Qian Renxue, who knew Bibi Dong's true purpose in inviting Lin Mo.
Qian Renxue crossed her arms over her chest, her golden eyes slightly narrowed, and a faint smile curved her lips.
Lin Mo remained silent for a moment, then raised his hand and scratched his head, a look of confusion on his face.
"The reason for your rapid cultivation?" He repeated Bibi Dong's question, his tone tinged with uncertainty. "My cultivation—is no different from that of a normal Soul Master, is it?"
"I've just been cultivating normally, and that's how I've ended up in this situation."
After speaking, Lin Mo raised his head to look at Bibi Dong and asked in return, "What exactly does His Holiness the Pope want to know?"
His eyes were clear, and his tone was frank, as if he were genuinely just wondering why Bibi Dong had asked that question.
Bibi Dong stared at Lin Mo for a moment, then took a deep breath. This time, her question was more detailed.
" Soul King at the age of twelve, with your Fourth Soul Ring already reaching ten thousand years. I'd like to know how you accomplished this? And is it possible for this to be replicated?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo seemed relieved, and his tone became more relaxed. "So that's what His Majesty wanted to ask."
"As for the Fourth Soul Ring of ten thousand years—" Lin Mo paused, organizing his thoughts, "It's because before I reached the level forty bottleneck, I obtained a medicinal herb from Senior Poison Douluo."
He glanced at Yue Guan beside him, "In the words of Chrysanthemum Douluo, this herb is a celestial plant called the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum."
Bibi Dong turned her gaze to Yue Guan.
Yue Guan bowed slightly, confirming, "Your Majesty, Lin Mo's words are true. There is indeed the residual medicinal aura of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in his body, and his foundation is solid with strong meridians."
Lin Mo continued, "Because of consuming this celestial herb, my physical attributes have been greatly enhanced; the resilience of my meridians and my constitution have both improved considerably."
"After repeated testing by Senior Poison Douluo and my teacher Ye Linyuan, I finally managed to absorb a newly formed ten-thousand-year-old Soul Ring in my Fourth Soul Ring slot."
At this point, Lin Mo looked up and glanced at Bibi Dong.
If he remembered correctly, the Pope's First Martial Soul Fourth Soul Ring His Holiness the Pope was also at the ten-thousand-year level.
However, if we only consider the Soul Ring Configuration of the First Martial Soul, Bibi Dong's Soul Ring Configuration is even better than his: yellow, purple, purple, black, and black.
Yue Guan standing nearby, added at the right moment, "Your Majesty, it is true. Lin Mo has already consumed this immortal herb. If he weren't protected by the Poison Douluo, I would have even considered taking him as a disciple."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo snorted coldly, feeling somewhat disdainful.
That old fellow Yue Guan is patting himself on the back again.
Taking on a disciple? With Lin Mo's talent, it would be an honor for whoever he chose as their master. Why should Yue Guan put on airs like that?
"The same goes for the improvement of cultivation." He said calmly, "It is precisely because of the help of this Immortal Herb that my cultivation speed is much faster than that of ordinary Soul Master."
Soul Power accumulates more quickly, and breaking through bottlenecks is also much easier.
Without batting an eye, Lin Mo blamed everything on the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.
Fortunately, there was also Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan nearby, who could help him attract some extra attention.
After all, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum is Yue Guan's Martial Soul, and his understanding of this immortal plant far surpasses that of ordinary people. With his testimony, the credibility of these words would be much higher.
Bibi Dong remained silent for a moment.
She certainly knew the wondrous uses of celestial herbs, but—could a mere single celestial herb really allow a twelve-year-old child to break through to the Soul King?
Could that allow him to absorb Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring at his Fourth Soul Ring position?
Bibi Dong did not believe it, or rather, she did not completely believe it.
Then, Bibi Dong slowly rose from her throne, holding her scepter, and walked down the steps one by one.
Dugu Bo instinctively took half a step forward, shielding Lin Mo behind him.
Golden Crocodile Douluo remained standing with his head bowed, as if he were merely a statue standing there, while Qian Renxue raised her eyebrows slightly, watching this scene with great interest.
Bibi Dong stopped three steps away from Lin Mo.
She looked at Lin Mo, a barely Frisk hint of urgency flashing deep in her purple eyes.
" Lin Mo," Bibi Dong spoke, her voice slightly lower than usual, "May I see your External Beast Martial Soul?"
Her voice trembled slightly with anticipation.
Dugu Bo frowned even more deeply.
Lin Mo remained silent for a moment, then looked up at Bibi Dong, glanced at Dugu Bo beside him and Qian Renxue in the distance, and finally nodded slowly.
"Can."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mo's mind stirred slightly, and with a flash of red light, the Charizard appeared in the main hall.
"Roar--!"
As soon as the Charizard appeared, it sensed the auras of the Titled Douluo around it and couldn't help but let out a low roar.
Its massive body lowered slightly, its dragon wings half-spread, and blazing white flames swirled around its body. Its two dragon eyes swept warily over everyone present, finally settling on Bibi Dong.
The moment Charizard appeared, everyone's attention was drawn to it.
Golden Crocodile Douluo finally raised his head, his aged eyes falling on the Charizard with a scrutinizing look.
Qian Renxue's golden eyes brightened slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
Bibi Dong's breathing quickened almost imperceptibly for a moment.
Her gaze Lock-On on the Charizard, scrutinizing every detail from head to toe. Her eyes then moved down to the five Soul Ring slowly rotating beneath the Charizard's feet.
Yellow, yellow, purple, black, black.
Two hundred-year-old stones, one thousand-year-old stone, and two ten-thousand-year-old stones—this twelve-year-old boy is indeed a Soul King- level Soul Master.
Lin Mo raised his hand and gently stroked the Charizard's neck. "Relax, it's alright."
The Charizard let out a low growl, turned its head, and rubbed its head against Lin Mo's palm, the wariness in its eyes gradually fading.
At the same time, Charizard was also a little smug, enjoying the attention it received.
Only then did everyone realize the extraordinary spirituality of Lin Mo's Martial Soul.
The Gui Mei suddenly spoke in a low voice, "This Martial Soul —it's probably no different from a real Life."
Yue Guan nodded. "That's true."
Bibi Dong suppressed her excitement.
She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and asked with feigned curiosity, "As far as I know, Lin Mo, when your Martial Soul first awakened, it was just an egg."
Lin Mo nodded. "Yes."
"Later, the egg hatched into Charmander just like a normal egg. Then, after undergoing two more Benign Mutation, it finally mutated into Charizard."
Her gaze fell on the Charizard, and a subtle, indescribable emotion flashed deep within her purple eyes.
Am I right?
Lin Mo nodded again, confirming Bibi Dong's statement. "That's exactly right."
Bibi Dong remained silent for a moment.
The main hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Finally, Bibi Dong spoke again.
This time, the tremor in her voice was even more pronounced.
Suppressing her excitement, she still managed to ask the real reason why she had invited Lin Mo here.
"If an ordinary person's Martial Soul encounters a mutation, the mutation is entirely up to fate," Bibi Dong said slowly. "Whether it is benign or malignant is determined by heaven, and the probability is extremely low, one in ten thousand."
"But your Martial Soul is different."
"It hatches from the egg, that's the first change; from Charmander to Charmeleon, that's the second Benign Mutation; from Charmeleon to Charizard, that's the third Benign Mutation."
"All three changes were positive. And each change made the Martial Soul even stronger."
She stared intently at Lin Mo, asking each word carefully, "I want to know, how did you do that? Is there any way to replicate the reason behind it?"
"If this path could be replicated by other Soul Master, if the method of Benign Mutation of Martial Soul could be promoted."
"That would be an unprecedented help for all Soul Master in the world!"
This will change the entire landscape of the Soul Master World! It will give new hope to countless Soul Master who are suffering from defects in their Martial Soul!
Upon hearing these polite words again, Qian Renxue crossed her arms and her expression instantly turned disdainful.
That might fool others, but it won't fool her.
The real reason was simply to find out from Lin Mo how to continuously mutate the External Beast Martial Soul.
The reason given was quite noble, claiming it was for the sake of the world, but how many people in this world, besides Lin Mo, possess External Beast Martial Soul?
Ultimately, isn't it all for Yu Xiaogang?
Qian Renxue sneered inwardly.
The talk of becoming a world-class Soul Master and leaving a mark on history is just an excuse. The only person Bibi Dong truly cares about has always been that man named Yu Xiaogang.
