Lin Yuan frowned as he examined his panel. "Too weak… still too weak! Even after absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring, my soul power only increased by four levels. Years from now, becoming a Douluo will still be extremely difficult." He sighed and said, "Little Daji, open the King's Shop. This time I have enough points to buy some items to increase my strength."
"Ding! Reminder: The King's Shop is currently holding a discount promotion. Each item has a discount based on its value."
"Hey! Why didn't you say this earlier?"
Lin Yuan hadn't even thought to ask.
The King's Shop interface was similar to the in-game shop. In the game, one could only purchase skins and heroes, but here, in addition to heroes and skins, one could buy magical herbs, Martial Soul enhancers, god-given soul rings, and more.

Eight-Point Black Ice Grass: 11,000 points
Level 9 Soul Guidance Cannon: 10,500 points
Golden Dragon Spear: 10,000 points
Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring: 10,000 points
…
After viewing the recommended items, Lin Yuan ignored the other categories. These recommendations were based on his current points. Even if other items were discounted, he likely couldn't afford them.
"Little Daji, the Golden Dragon Spear is here!"
"Ding! 10,000 points have been deducted. Item added to inventory. Please check."
Lin Yuan opened his system backpack and retrieved the Golden Dragon Spear.
It was a double-pointed spear, roughly five meters long. The spearheads were transparent, the shaft glimmered with golden light, and faint dragon-shaped markings floated intermittently along it, giving off a mysterious aura. Though it appeared metallic, its texture resembled wood and radiated strong vitality.
This was the Golden Dragon Spear, a rare artifact between a pseudo-transcendent and a full transcendent item!
The moment Lin Yuan held it, a wave of intimidation radiated outward, causing Ak and Daji to instinctively step back. The moves and techniques associated with the spear instantly appeared in Lin Yuan's mind.
"With this spear, my strength should improve even more. By the way, little Daji, in the original story, only those with Golden Dragon King blood could wield it?"
"Hey, don't you understand? All system-generated items are top-quality. Minor modifications won't be a problem."
"Alright."
Lin Yuan used a drop of blood to bond with the spear, establishing a subtle connection.
He sent a mental command to the Golden Dragon Spear, and it shrank to the size of a toothpick, merging into his right hand. A golden dragon symbol appeared on the back of his hand, allowing him to summon the spear at will.
Next, using his knowledge of soul beasts, Lin Yuan selected several suitable for Ak and transferred them mentally to Daji.
This was the second function of the Detecting Eye: mental sharing. Unlike the Tianmeng Ice Insect, this form of sharing allowed direct mental transmission of information from one person to another.
After selecting the beasts, Lin Yuan instructed:"Daji, based on the soul beasts I transmitted to you, find ones corresponding to 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, 7-year, and 8-year age levels. Bring them back once they're incapacitated, but do not kill them."
"Understood," Daji said, taking the orders and leaving the cave to find the beasts.
Lin Yuan's plan was to allow Ak to absorb the remaining five soul rings. With the pressure exerted by Daji, a Title Douluo, this should not be difficult. They had to arrive at the Martial Soul Hall before Bibi Dong was assaulted by Qian Xunji.
Soon, Daji returned with five soul beasts, her mouth stained with blood from minor injuries.
"Are you hurt?" Lin Yuan asked.
"It's nothing, just a small injury, Master. Don't worry; I'll recover quickly," Daji replied.
Through his detecting eye, Lin Yuan examined the beasts and could clearly see their ages:
A 14,500-year-old Phantom Raccoon
A 34,000-year-old Phantom Tiger
A 55,000-year-old Shadow Skeleton
A 73,000-year-old Phantom Thunder Beast
An 89,300-year-old Thousand-Hand Shadow Spider
Lin Yuan nodded and instructed Ak: "Good. Start absorbing the soul rings!"
Martial Soul City
As the central city of the Martial Soul Hall, Martial Soul City held a unique status. Despite its name, its territory was vast, almost comparable to a small province, independent from the two major empires. It served as a buffer zone captured by the Martial Soul Hall to reduce direct contact and conflict between the empires.
After obtaining the seventh soul ring, Bibi Dong and Ju Douluo Yue Guan happily headed to the Soul Hall. Bibi Dong intended to report her acquisition of the seventh ring to Qian Xun Ji, and also to discuss her relationship with Yu Xiaogang and seek his approval.
At the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong and Yue Guan parted ways. Yue Guan naturally returned to his residence to enjoy his garden, while Bibi Dong waited at the palace entrance for the guards' notification.
"Saint, the Pope has permitted your entry."
Pushing open the palace doors, Bibi Dong saw a radiant man sitting on the Pope's throne—Qian Xun Ji.
With the soul of the Archangel, he was now level 95, a rare prodigy in the Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong respectfully reported to Qian Xun Ji. Seeing his prized disciple report to him, he felt a wave of emotions.
After hearing the full account, Qian Xun Ji asked directly: "Bibi Dong, what is your relationship with Yu Xiaogang?"
Qian Xun Ji's face always bore a smile, making his true emotions—anger, sadness, or joy—hard to read.
Bibi Dong replied without hesitation: "Teacher, Xiaogang is my boyfriend. Now that I've returned, I hope you'll support our marriage."
Hearing this, Qian Xun Ji's smile vanished. Coldly, he said:"Bibi Dong, you are a Martial Soul Hall prodigy with twin martial souls. You've become a Soul Saint at such a young age. I will not allow you to have any involvement with an outsider, especially someone from the Blue Thunder Overlord Dragon Sect. That would be a waste of life. You will never leave the Spirit Hall!"
As he spoke, Qian Xun Ji slowly descended from the throne.
Bibi Dong had expected her respected teacher to approve the marriage, but to her surprise, Qian Xun Ji did not. She shouted: "Even if I leave the Martial Soul Temple, I will be with Xiaogang!"
Before she could act, Qian Xun Ji struck her unconscious.
Even if I must use the vilest means, I will keep you in the Spirit Hall!
Since ancient times, loyal hearts have suffered thus, with flowers destined to wither behind locked doors.
Secret Chamber of the Martial Soul Hall
For some reason—perhaps Qian Xun Ji didn't strike hard enough—Bibi Dong regained consciousness. She looked at the man before her.
Seeing Bibi Dong awake, Qian Xun Ji appeared slightly puzzled but indifferent, saying:"Your soul power has been sealed. You are now like an ordinary person. I've found someone to use a secret method to transform you into a human. You… go break up with Yu Xiaogang. I fear he has already fallen for someone else. Bibi Dong, even if I must use the vilest means, I will keep you in the Spirit Hall!"
