When she saw Wang Feng spit out a mouthful of blood, Bibi Dong's face went deathly pale and her body tensed.

Fortunately, nothing happened to Wang Feng. But the next moment, his body suddenly began to tremble violently. All color drained from his face, and cracks even appeared on it.

"This is bad!"

Yue Guan cried out, his heart leaping into his throat. This was a sign that something was about to go wrong!

If anything happened to Wang Feng, could they still live?

"Back away. No one is allowed to investigate this place!"

Suddenly, Bibi Dong gave a cold shout, releasing her Soul Rings one after another.

Yellow, purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red.

The instant the final red Soul Ring appeared, a terrifying surge of energy enveloped her and Wang Feng, blocking Yue Guan and the others' view.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance and immediately understood. Bibi Dong would not allow anyone to know what happened inside.

The two immediately took Hu Liena and Qian Renxue more than a hundred meters away. At the same time, they released their own Soul Rings, enclosing everything within a thousand meters in a barrier. Neither Soul Beasts nor Soul Masters could spy on anything happening inside.

Although they did not know what the Pope intended to do, perhaps she had a way to save Wang Feng's life, and they would not have to die.

At that moment, inside Bibi Dong's barrier, Wang Feng's body began to crack. This terrifying sight signaled that he was about to explode and die.

In truth, Bibi Dong could do nothing. She was not a god. Although she was the youngest level 99 Peerless Douluo on the Douluo Continent, anyone who was not a god could not intervene in a Soul Master's absorption of a Soul Ring.

At that moment, a hint of anticipation appeared in her eyes.

Time passed second by second, and Wang Feng's condition grew worse and worse. Bibi Dong gripped her hands tightly, the staff in her hand shining brightly. She was ready to act at any moment and save Wang Feng at any cost.

But just then, black specks of light suddenly emerged behind Wang Feng.

It seemed slow, but in truth, it took only an instant for a black figure to appear behind Wang Feng. It was his third Martial Soul.

The third Martial Soul raised both hands, and black light burst forth and fell upon Wang Feng, causing his earlier injuries to begin healing rapidly.

At the same time, it directly accelerated Wang Feng's absorption of the Soul Ring. Before long, the black Soul Ring had completely fused with his Martial Soul.

Wang Feng himself had already been close to succeeding, but at this most crucial moment, the Soul Power unleashed by the Soul Ring was at its most terrifying.

"He did it. He really did it."

Bibi Dong's hands began to tremble. The worry vanished from her face, replaced by delight and excitement, along with a trace of puzzlement.

What puzzled her was Wang Feng's third Martial Soul. She could not see through it at all or tell what kind of Martial Soul it was.

Martial Souls were basically divided into two types: Tool Martial Souls and Beast Martial Souls. These were the common types, such as the renowned Clear Sky Hammer among Tool Martial Souls and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon among Beast Martial Souls. Aside from these, there were also Body Martial Souls, such as a person's eyes or other body parts.

Wang Feng's first two Martial Souls were undoubtedly Tool Martial Souls, but Bibi Dong could not quite see through his third. If it were classified as a Beast Martial Soul, it looked just like Wang Feng; if it were a Body Martial Soul, it did not share one body with him.

But there was one thing Bibi Dong could now be certain of: Wang Feng's third Martial Soul had the ability to protect its master on its own. When she first met him, she had discovered that the reason he could not use or absorb Soul Power was that something inside his body occupied the place where his Soul Power was stored.

She suspected it might be his third Martial Soul, but she did not dare be certain. At Spirit Hall, she had actually been gambling as well, but she had not expected her gamble to pay off.

While helping Wang Feng awaken his third Martial Soul, she had noticed that once the Soul Power she injected into his body exceeded a certain limit and began to harm his origin, it would be devoured by a force. That force happened to have a presence similar to his third Martial Soul's.

She had originally wanted to use Wang Feng's third Martial Soul to make his first Soul Ring one of around five thousand years. But she had not expected him to be even more ruthless than she was, taking the initiative to absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring outright.

Although she had anticipated this when she heard that Wang Feng was absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, she had still been extremely worried, afraid that something might go wrong.

But now, fortunately, everything had gone smoothly. Wang Feng had successfully absorbed the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

His third Martial Soul withdrew, and his injuries stopped healing on their own, but his life was finally out of danger. He had also successfully obtained his First Soul Ring.

Bibi Dong walked over to Wang Feng and watched him quietly, waiting for him to wake.

She waited until nightfall, her staff giving off light that illuminated the area.

At last, Wang Feng's eyelids twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Wang Feng, you're awake?" Bibi Dong said, her voice trembling slightly.

"T-Teacher." As soon as Wang Feng opened his eyes, he saw Bibi Dong standing beside him, her eyes full of anxiety. His heart was instantly filled with warmth.

Wang Feng slowly stood up. His body was weak, and he nearly sank back down, but fortunately, Bibi Dong caught him and pulled him into her arms.

"Silly child, who told you to take such a risk? Didn't I tell you? Your teacher would find your first Soul Ring for you. Why did you take it upon yourself to do this? Do you know how afraid I was that you would fail?" Bibi Dong said with some resentment.

Wang Feng bared his teeth. Bibi Dong's tight embrace pulled at the wounds on his body.

At the same time, his nose stung, and he blamed himself deeply. He had not expected Bibi Dong to care so much about him that she would say such things.

But Wang Feng was soon drawn to Bibi Dong's scent, completely forgetting his pain and self-reproach. He wore a look of bliss, as comfortable as could be.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last. Bibi Dong let him go.

"Teacher, hold me a little longer!" Wang Feng said, as if compelled by some unseen force.

"What did you say?!" Bibi Dong noticed something odd about Wang Feng's tone and expression. Her face changed at once, and her voice turned cold in an instant. Even the air around them grew colder.

Wang Feng shuddered and immediately came to his senses. But he quickly looked at Bibi Dong with a wronged expression and said, "Teacher, my body feels awful. It feels like I'm about to split apart."

Bibi Dong frowned and snorted. "Who told you to take it upon yourself to absorb the Purple Lightning Bear Emperor's Soul Ring? Do you know it was a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? Its bloodline power was extraordinary, too. Even an ordinary Titled Douluo would be unwilling to provoke it upon encountering it."

"Teacher, I know I was wrong, but I don't know what came over me at the time. I suddenly felt that its Soul Ring suited me very well, and I wanted to absorb it," Wang Feng said aggrievedly. When he finished, he looked at Bibi Dong with tear-filled eyes, seeking her comfort.

"Hmph! You were lucky."

Bibi Dong snorted coldly, then waved her hand and withdrew the barrier. Looking at the aggrieved expression on the seven-year-old Wang Feng's face, she wanted to be angry but could not bring herself to be. She also understood what he had said. Such things were not particularly unusual, because some genius Soul Masters really did develop such thoughts when they encountered a Soul Ring especially well suited to them, though such Soul Masters were rare.

When ordinary Soul Masters obtained Soul Rings, they generally relied on theoretical knowledge to judge whether a Soul Ring suited them, using that as the basis for obtaining the best Soul Ring Configuration for themselves.
