A True Powerhouse! (Bonus Chapter for Everyone! Fourth Update! Please Vote!)

Ever since returning to the Pope's Palace, Su Yi had become the first Holy Son in the history of Spirit Hall.

This matter had caused quite a stir.

In less than three days, the entire continent learned that Spirit Hall had produced an astonishingly gifted Holy Son.

This Holy Son was the second Direct Disciple of Spirit Hall's Pope.

Because of this mysterious Holy Son, Spirit Hall's Pope, Bibi Dong, had made an exception and bestowed upon him the title of Holy Son.

Many people knew that Spirit Hall had gained a Holy Son, but no one knew this Holy Son's name, what he looked like, or how strong he was.

They only knew that this Holy Son would become Spirit Hall's strongest combat force in the future, without equal.

People across the world were extremely curious about this mysterious Holy Son. They all wanted to know who he was, to have actually made Spirit Hall's Pope, Bibi Dong, personally make an exception for him.

Unfortunately, this Holy Son was simply too mysterious.

The Great Worship of Spirit Hall's Worship Hall, Qian Daoliu, who was also the ceiling of Spirit Hall's combat power, learned of this matter as well.

Even he, who had always stayed out of worldly affairs, was alarmed by it.

He came to confront Bibi Dong in person, asking why she had acted so willfully. For such a major matter, she had not even consulted the worships of the Worship Hall before appointing a Holy Son on her own.

Facing Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong responded domineeringly, "I am the Pope of Spirit Hall. What I do is none of your business, you worship."

Qian Daoliu was furious upon hearing those words, but when he saw Bibi Dong's cold eyes, he could only sigh helplessly before turning and leaving.

As for Holy Son Su Yi, Qian Daoliu neither asked to meet him nor continued questioning the matter.

From that day onward, Su Yi became the first Holy Son in the history of Spirit Hall.

Of everyone, Hu Liena was the happiest.

Ever since learning that Su Yi had completed the trial in a single day and returned to the Pope's Palace, Hu Liena came to see him every day.

She was practically becoming Su Yi's little tail, which annoyed Su Yi greatly. Truly greatly.

This woman was really no good. She was always trying to keep him from cultivating, disrupting him and obstructing his path to becoming stronger.

More than half a month passed, and Su Yi's Soul Power Level broke through from level twenty-three to level twenty-four.

On this day, Bibi Dong came to see him personally.

This was the first time she had come to find him privately since his return to the Pope's Palace over half a month ago, aside from meeting him upon his return and announcing his appointment as Holy Son.

"Not bad. You're already level twenty-four. You've improved quickly."

Bibi Dong looked at little Su Yi before her and smiled faintly.

Seeing that Su Yi remained silent, Bibi Dong sat down in Su Yi's small courtyard. She beckoned to him and said gently, "Come sit here."

As she spoke, Bibi Dong lightly patted the ground beside her.

Su Yi looked at Bibi Dong, then silently walked over and sat down beside her.

"Do you know why I came to see you today?"

Bibi Dong turned her head to look at the indifferent Su Yi and spoke softly.

"I don't know."

As always, Su Yi answered with complete indifference.

"Little one, do you know what a true powerhouse is?"

As Bibi Dong spoke, her eyes rested on the small pool before them, filled with contemplation.

"I don't know."

Hearing Su Yi's answer, Bibi Dong smiled faintly. Looking at the school of fish swimming in the pool, she said softly, "A powerhouse possesses an unwavering resolve to pursue strength; a fearless heart that does not fear any hardship or danger, that knows the road ahead is filled with thorns yet still advances without fear, cutting through the thorns until reaching the end; the patience to persist even through dull and tedious cultivation; the determination to never hesitate when facing any troubles or matters requiring a decision, but to cut through them directly; and the ruthless killing intent to slay any enemy who stands before you, no matter who they are."

"I can see all five of these qualities in you, and I have no doubt that you will become a powerhouse in the future."

"However, a powerhouse should remain calm and unflustered in any situation, with no change in expression and no ripples in their heart."

"You have done very well in that regard too. Of everything I just said, even I, as your teacher, have failed to achieve much of it."

At this point, confusion and contemplation appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes as she quietly stared at the still surface of the water.

Su Yi simply sat quietly beside Bibi Dong, looking at his own reflection in the water.

After a long while, Bibi Dong came back to herself. Looking at Su Yi sitting quietly beside her, she smiled faintly, reached out, placed her hand on his little head, and gently rubbed it.

"However, your greatest flaw is that you have no emotions."

"A true powerhouse has things they wish to protect and convictions they wish to defend. Ruthlessness can make a person strong, but in the end, it will cause them to lose themselves and become nothing more than a weapon that knows only slaughter."

"You should learn to disguise your true self before others. Do not let enemies—or anyone—know the real you. That way, they will not be able to find your weakness. Without a weakness, there is no vulnerable point."

At that moment, Bibi Dong seemed to recall something. A trace of pain, sorrow, heartbreak, and anguish surfaced in her eyes, before turning into killing intent and viciousness.

However, the killing intent and viciousness in her eyes flashed by in an instant. Her beautiful eyes soon returned to their usual tranquility, nobility, and faint gentleness.

When that trace of killing intent and viciousness flashed through Bibi Dong's eyes, Su Yi sensed an exceptionally violent, vicious, and sinister aura leaking from her. He caught it.

Though that feeling had vanished in an instant, Su Yi could not forget it.

Looking at the noble, gentle, and tranquil Bibi Dong seated beside him, Su Yi knew that this teacher before him must have suffered some unimaginable trauma in the past.

"Little one, you must remember that a true powerhouse knows how to hide their emotions and disguise them."

"You have done perfectly when it comes to hiding your emotions. Even I cannot sense your truest thoughts and feelings. But disguising them is what you lack."

"Your next cultivation lesson will be learning how to disguise that cold expression of yours. Learn what kind of words to say to different people, and when to display the emotions you should display."

"For example, learn to smile when you are happy, and learn to be sad when you are sorrowful."

"This will probably be difficult for you. But no matter how difficult it is, you must learn to conceal your expression so that no one can see through you."

As Bibi Dong spoke, her eyes were filled with seriousness as she looked at Su Yi.

In truth, she had said that final point to Su Yi for Nana's sake.

That little girl Nana's feelings for Su Yi were practically known to everyone.
