Bibi Dong

Biodata

Power Progression

The advancements below belong to the six-year-old Bibi Dong shown on the sky screen, not the adult Pope watching it 3 8.

Background / History

Childhood and Recruitment

At six years old, Bibi Dong is an orphan living in a village and has not yet been discovered by Spirit Hall or awakened her Martial Souls. The village chief has taught the children enough about Soul Masters for her to recognize a Soul Emperor's six rings 1.

After Nan Huai'an arrives from another spacetime, she invites him into her home. He offers to accept her as his disciple, promising protection and opportunities to travel beyond the village. Impressed by his strength, she agrees, kneels, and kowtows three times. His system rates her as an SSR disciple 1 2.

First Soul Ring and External Soul Bone

Nan Huai'an awakens her Twin Martial Souls and strengthens her body with whale rubber before taking her to the Star Dou Great Forest. Although frightened of the Sickle-legged Demon Spider he selects, she delivers the finishing blow herself rather than waste his efforts. Absorbing its Soul Ring raises her to rank thirteen 3 6 7 8.

A ten-thousand-year Purple-Winged Spider Emperor subsequently attacks them. Nan Huai'an kills it while protecting her, and she discovers its glowing External Soul Bone while stomping on the corpse. He gives her the Six-Winged Purple Light Wings in exchange for shoulder and leg massages. Her first flight ends in a loss of control, forcing him to stop her fall by pinning her clothing to a tree with his sword 9 10 11.

Dugu Family and the Immortal Herbs

Bibi Dong accepts Dugu Bo's challenge on her teacher's behalf, then celebrates Nan Huai'an's victory by mocking Dugu Bo and Dugu Xin. When Dugu Bo offers to call Nan Huai'an “Dad” in gratitude for a possible cure, she asks whether he can call her “Mom,” prompting a reprimand from her teacher 12 13 14 15.

She accompanies them to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where she claims the valley as her territory and nearly touches the dangerously poisonous Infernal Delicate Apricot. Nan Huai'an stops her and instead selects two herbs compatible with her Martial Souls. Their absorption raises her to level eighteen; afterward, she eagerly chooses Water Jade Skin Immortal Bone for its beauty-enhancing effects 18 20 21 22 26.

Original-Timeline Pope

The adult Bibi Dong recognizes the child on the sky screen but distinguishes that parallel counterpart from her actual childhood. Although embarrassed by the continent-wide broadcast, she is moved by Nan Huai'an's promise that the girl will no longer be alone. She hopes that taking him as a teacher instead of Qian Xunji will spare her counterpart the suffering she experienced 2 3 6 8.

She also acts on the knowledge revealed by the screen. After learning whale rubber's cultivation benefits, she orders Yue Guan and Gui Mei to secure Vast Sea City's ports and supplies. Once the immortal herbs are exposed, she sends them to bring the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well under Spirit Hall's control 8 18 20.

Appearance

• Young counterpart: A small, purple-eyed girl repeatedly described as delicate and adorable 2 3 13.
• Adult counterpart: A beautiful woman with a cool, aloof bearing and an intimidating presence 2 3 4.
• Six-Winged Purple Light Wings: Six amethyst wings, thin as cicada wings, marked with fine spiderweb-like patterns and a faint violet glow 11.

Personality

Young Bibi Dong

Young Bibi Dong is proud of her talents and openly seeks her teacher's praise. His restrained reaction to her Twin Martial Souls and innate full soul power frustrates her, and she repeatedly vows to surpass him. She readily becomes boastful after gaining strength, even challenging him immediately after obtaining her first Soul Skill 3 8 26.

Her bravado coexists with childhood fears. She is afraid of heights, initially recoils from her own spider Martial Souls, and hides behind Nan Huai'an when threatened. Nevertheless, she overcomes her fear to kill her first Soul Beast because she does not want his efforts to go to waste 3 6 7.

She has a sharp tongue and enjoys taking advantage of her teacher's backing, particularly when taunting the Dugu family. Beneath their arguments, she values him deeply: she agrees to care for him after receiving her Soul Bone and listens obediently when he gives serious instruction. She also dislikes dirt and is strongly attracted to beauty-enhancing medicine 7 10 14 15 26.

Adult Bibi Dong

The Pope is guarded and sensitive to threats to her dignity. She repeatedly scolds Hu Liena for laughing at the broadcast and sometimes insists that the mischievous child is not her. At the same time, she becomes protective of that counterpart and increasingly appreciates Nan Huai'an's care for her 6 11 13 17.

Her response to the screen is also practical. Rather than merely watching, she uses its revelations to pursue strategic resources for Spirit Hall 8 20.

Abilities & Skills

Twin Martial Souls

Bibi Dong possesses the Death Spider Emperor and Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, both inherently poisonous 7 21.

• Death Spider Emperor: Receives her first Soul Ring and manifests a frightening aura of death and evil when she threatens Dugu Xin 7 13.
• Soul Devouring Spider Emperor: Possesses control, biting, and devouring abilities that Nan Huai'an seeks to strengthen through a compatible immortal herb 21.
• Early limitation: She initially fears their appearance and cannot yet wield the Death Spider Emperor proficiently during her first hunt 3 7.
• Proposed training: Nan Huai'an considers having her devour Sea Soul Beasts to increase her strength; this remains a plan in the supplied chapters 22.

First Soul Skill: Shadow Scythe

Her Death Spider Emperor's first Soul Skill produces a purplish-black scythe with spiderweb patterns and a venomous blade 8.

• Can slice through Soul Power barriers.
• Its slashes carry spider venom that slows an opponent's Soul Power circulation.
• Cannot overcome Nan Huai'an's strength: he catches the blade between his fingers and prevents her from withdrawing it 8.

Six-Winged Purple Light Wings

An External Soul Bone obtained from a ten-thousand-year Purple-Winged Spider Emperor 9 10.

• Grants flight, though her initial attempt reveals poor control 11.
• Can evolve as its owner grows stronger; Nan Huai'an also explains that inheriting a deity's legacy can raise its quality further 10.
• The original-timeline Bibi Dong possesses her own Six-Winged Purple Light Wings, acquired later in life 10.
