"Th-th-this..."

The Martial Soul instructor stared fixedly at the baby slowly crawling past.

A diaper was even wedged between his little wriggling butt cheeks.

Where had such a tiny baby come from??

More to the point, the baby was neither crying nor fussing. He looked as calm as if he were strolling through his own backyard...

Was he really that unafraid of strangers?

"Whose child is this?! Don't you know family members aren't allowed in the Spirit Hall?!"

The instructor shouted to the people around him.

He was not only a teacher at Spirit Hall Academy, but also the captain of the Spirit Hall guards.

So, when he saw a baby in the Spirit Hall, his first reaction was that some Soul Master trainee had broken the rules and brought a child from home.

But as soon as he called out, no one came forward to claim the baby. Instead, everyone watched with intense curiosity.

Seeing that the Soul Master trainees on the training ground were about to crowd around for a closer look, the instructor immediately shouted, "What are you doing! What are you doing! Stay right where you are!"

The trainees were curious, but they feared the instructor's authority and ultimately stayed put. Their eyes, however, followed the baby's movements with great interest.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue wasn't quite sure how to handle it. She certainly couldn't go over and pick up the child.

If she showed herself, she would inevitably attract everyone else's attention.

Once they saw her blond hair, her beauty, her features... it would be strange if they couldn't guess her relationship with the Great Enshrined.

Even dressed in the plainest, simplest clothes, Qian Renxue still had the unmistakable looks and bearing of a six-winged angel descended to earth.

Golden Crocodile said, "I'll go bring him back."

Guang Ling frowned. "No, if we go over there, Luo'er will definitely use the same speed he did to run away just now. We can't catch him without using Soul Power."

"Besides, there are so many people here. We might hurt him while chasing him."

Hearing Guang Ling's concerns, the other elders and enshrined all agreed.

Azure Luan Douluo reassured her, "It's all right, Xue'er. Let's watch from here for now. If anything happens, we'll go over. We can also see what this little fellow is trying to do."

"He's just being naughty. Didn't you hear how happily that little rascal was laughing when he ran away just now?"

Qian Renxue was so angry she almost laughed as she said it.

On second thought, she couldn't laugh. She had to put on the air of a strict mother.

So she folded her arms across her chest and scowled.

At the edge of the training ground.

"Hey! Little fellow! Stop!"

As captain of the guards, the instructor upheld his duty to maintain order in the Spirit Hall and immediately gave chase.

Lin Luo looked back and couldn't help sneering inwardly.

Titled Douluo and Super Douluo couldn't catch me. What makes you think you can?

I'm crawling at 7,000 times my normal speed now.

Lin Luo stopped strolling around and put the pedal to the metal, flying along as if on swift feet!

In that instant, everyone was dumbstruck. The words the instructor had been about to shout caught in his throat.

"What... what's going on?"

Qian Renxue and the others, who were spectators this time, also witnessed the little fellow's speed firsthand for the first time.

At that moment, only one thought filled their minds: He's beyond human!

Golden Crocodile said, "Xue'er, tell me honestly, is his dad... human?"

Azure Luan said, "I was wondering that too..."

Qian Renxue avoided their eyes and said with an air of mystery, "That's not something you're allowed to ask about."

"All right, all right, all right."

The enshrined all tactfully shut their mouths. After all, they had personally experienced this "father's" methods.

Ling Yuan couldn't help asking, "Why is the little young master just going around the grounds in circles?"

She Long said, "Isn't it obvious? When you awaken some powerful bloodline, the first thing you do is try out the power it gives you."

"That makes sense!"

Listening to the discussion beside her,

Qian Renxue was utterly dumbfounded the entire time.

The child doesn't even have a father, and you're already discussing the bloodline he inherited from him.

The power of imagination really is formidable.

But when all is said and done, why is my child so outrageous...

Surely nothing even more outrageous will happen later, right?

For some reason, Qian Renxue swallowed nervously.

The young mother could not yet foresee that this was merely the beginning.

Distance covered so far: six kilometers!

However, the Stamina Replenishment Card's effect was about to end. It was a one-time reward, and he had only one.

Once its effect ended, Lin Luo's own stamina would not be able to support so much exercise, and he would have no choice but to wait to be carried back.

I'd better rack up as much distance as I can before it ends.

No matter what, I have to get enough Lottery Points for 180 draws today!

Three more kilometers to go. Keep it up!

Hu Liena and the others who had been following the baby were also forced to stop. They simply couldn't keep up.

All they could see were the afterimages left by the baby crawling at high speed.

Just as the scene reached the height of its commotion, a figure slowly emerged from the Pope's Hall.

Bibi Dong stood on the steps in a long purple dress, her expression cold and beautiful.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings."

She frowned as she muttered the words, and Golden Crocodile and the others raised their brows in displeasure.

Before they could say, "If you're so capable, you do it," Soul Power surged through Bibi Dong's body and she strode straight forward.

"His Holiness the Pope is using Soul Power!" the elders exclaimed.

Qian Renxue watched anxiously, afraid Bibi Dong might use too much force and hurt the baby.

In fact, she wasn't sure whether Bibi Dong had truly accepted her grandson's existence after these three months.

On the outer square, more than a thousand people noticed Bibi Dong's appearance.

Their expressions grew more composed, and they became much more reverent and solemn.

This was His Holiness the Pope, someone they rarely saw.

So had His Holiness the Pope also been disturbed by this baby's sudden appearance?

When the instructor, as captain of the guards, realized this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly dropped to his knees.

He said in terror, "My apologies, Your Holiness! I don't know where this baby came from either! I... I'll apprehend the little fellow at once!"

"No need," Bibi Dong said coldly.

The way she looked at him as though he were trash sent a chill through half the instructor's body in an instant.

Lin Luo also noticed Bibi Dong's appearance. The Stamina Replenishment Card had five seconds left, and there were still a hundred meters to go!

Crawl!

Finally, at the very moment the Stamina Replenishment Card's effect ended, Lin Luo successfully reached a total distance of nine kilometers.

And soon, a pair of soft hands picked him up.

Bibi Dong had just unleashed her Soul Power in full and finally intercepted the boy.

She had expected the baby to squirm disobediently in her arms, but to her surprise, he was unusually quiet.

The task is complete. How would I dare make a fuss? Who knows if this woman still wants to kill me? Lin Luo's thoughts were simple.

Everyone held their breath. Rumor had it that the Pope was cold-tempered and unfeeling. Surely she wouldn't do anything to the baby?

Watching Bibi Dong pick up the baby, Hu Liena's heart rose into her throat from where she stood nearby.
