Chapter 31: The Fate of the Saintess Bibi Dong.
"What, you want me to kill her?"
Bibi Dong's expression changed slightly. Although she and Tang Huo'er were not friends, in last year's Elite Tournament, the only opponent who made Bibi Dong use her twin martial souls and fight with all her might to win, also created a special bond between her and Tang Huo'er.
Qian Xunji revealed a cruel smile and said, "That's right, this is the mission given to you by the Spirit Hall. As the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, this is also your duty. As long as she doesn't admit defeat and dies at your hands, it doesn't violate the competition rules. The Elite Soul Master Competition is watched by the entire continent. Even if you kill her on the field, the Clear Sky Sect has no reason to avenge her."
Bibi Dong took a deep breath, remained silent for a moment, and said coldly, "Are you finished? Please leave."
Qian Xunji gently walked to her side, patted her shoulder, and said, "You should know how many resources the Spirit Hall has poured into you. You have already absorbed the Spirit Immunity Skull, plus the Six-Winged Purple Light Wings. If you fail to kill Tang Huo'er, or lose the competition, you will lose your Holy Maiden qualification."
Bibi Dong's delicate body trembled slightly. Qian Xunji looked at her noble and beautiful face, turned around, and left the secret room.
Outside the secret room, Qian Xunji looked back again, a greedy look in his eyes.
Ever since Bibi Dong grew up, Qian Xunji had coveted her for a long time. She possessed twin martial souls, a rare find in a millennium. If she and he had a child, the child's talent would only be greater, and in that case, she would be willing to serve the Spirit Hall to the death. After Bibi Dong confided her secrets to him, he feared she would really leave and harbored thoughts of possessing her.
But unexpectedly, a good-for-nothing who accidentally stumbled in got the better deal?
Thinking of this, Qian Xunji couldn't help but clench his fists, thinking viciously, "That good-for-nothing, does he really think the Clear Sky Sect can protect you? After the Elite Tournament ends, it will be your death day. Daring to steal my woman, I will make you and your family disappear together."
Although Qian Xunji knew that Bibi Dong and Lin Fan had likely had something happen, he had no idea that Bibi Dong was pregnant so quickly. He hadn't even considered it, because in his eyes, Lin Fan was only a fourteen-year-old child who should have never experienced such things, let alone have the ability or courage to actually touch the Holy Maiden.
Now, Qian Xunji only wanted Bibi Dong to willingly enter his arms. He knew that Bibi Dong's emotions were very unstable and that she had thoughts of escaping.
"As long as you stay in the Spirit Hall, you will eventually be my woman, Qian Xunji's woman."
...
After Qian Xunji left, Bibi Dong, in the secret room, looked at the cold walls around her and the many Spirit Hall experts guarding the door, and sighed slightly.
She, the Holy Maiden, had no freedom whatsoever. Perhaps, from childhood, Bibi Dong had never had any freedom. She possessed twin martial souls, but without a powerful sect background, she was destined to become a pawn manipulated by these powerful forces.
Joining the Spirit Hall, undergoing brutal killing training, becoming the Holy Maiden—she had no right to choose any of these things.
Originally, Bibi Dong knew her talent was extraordinary. If she could grow stronger and become a Title Douluo sooner, she could change everything. But now, she didn't have much time left.
Feeling the changes in her body, Bibi Dong gently bit her red lips, sighing inwardly, "Perhaps I only have one month left to live. I hope you can live well and forget me forever. You probably... won't remember me either."
...
LinFan of the Haotian Sect, accompanied by Daji, arrived at Tang Yiran's courtyard. Tang Yiran was practicing the zither in the backyard. Seeing Lin Fan, her eyes immediately lit up with joy as she said, "Little Fan, why did you decide to come and play with me today?"
After saying that, she suddenly noticed a cute and strange thing following behind Lin Fan.
Lin Fan smiled faintly and said, "This... is my little pet. She's a fox. The scenery here is beautiful, so I brought her here to play."
"She's a pet, a soul beast?" Tang Yiran quickly got up, went to Daji, and touched her ears, saying, "I've never seen such a strange soul beast before. She doesn't seem to have any soul beast aura."
"Uh, I don't know either. Anyway, she's very cute and can talk." Lin Fan smiled and said to Daji, "Quick, say hello to Sister Yiran."
Daji was very obedient, raised her paw, and waved it obediently, saying, "Hello, Sister Yiran, I'm little Daji, from the King's World. My master's friend is Daji's friend."
"It can actually talk!" Tang Yiran was pleasantly surprised and patted Daji's head, saying, "Can I hug you, sister?"
Daji shook her head and said, "Hugging little Daji requires master's permission, okay? I will use my three skills to protect my master."
Lin Fan quickly said, "It's okay, Daji, let sister Yiran hug you. She won't hurt you."
After Tang Yiran carried Daji into the house, Tang Yiran even tried to feed her, but Daji shook her head and said, "Daji won't eat. Daji wants a skin. Master, will you buy Daji a skin?"
"What? What skin did she say?" Tang Yiran looked at Lin Fan blankly.
Lin Fan quickly said, "Uh, I don't know either. Put her down. She won't eat. I want to take her to play with the little soul beasts you raise."
"Okay." After changing the subject, Tang Yiran didn't think about those things anymore and went with Lin Fan to her petting zoo. She put Daji in, and she actually played with the soul beasts, but she didn't laugh. She just made a cute expression. Right now, Daji's intelligence was probably that of a child.
After playing in Tang Yiran's courtyard until evening, Lin Fan returned home. Tang Yiran didn't ask much about the origins of the strange soul beast Daji; to her, Lin Fan was always a mysterious boy.
For the next twenty days, Lin Fan focused on cultivation, finally breaking through one level and reaching level thirty-three.
Cultivation felt difficult for Lin Fan; his cultivation speed was indeed a bit slow. The original owner of this body didn't have much martial soul talent to begin with. He only improved his cultivation talent somewhat after using the King's Crystal to advance his first martial soul, but it was still a bit slow.
As for the Shadow Battle Axe and Blood Demon's Fury, those weren't actually Lin Fan's martial souls and had nothing to do with his cultivation.
At this point, only seven days remained until the Elite Soul Master Competition. Captain Tang Huo'er informed Lin Fan, Liu Erlong, and the entire team that they had been training at the Haotian Sect's arena for a few days. This training focused on developing their teamwork.
Lin Fan, Liu Erlong, Ye Keke, and Shui Yue'er already had a good understanding of each other, so they didn't need much training.
During training, Lin Fan witnessed the strength of Tang Jianfeng, a level 57 Soul Master.
Tang Jianfeng's Martial Soul was the Lightning-attribute Clear Sky Hammer, yet his combat power far surpassed that of Tang Long, whom Lin Fan had previously fought. Besides being stronger in level and Soul Rings, Tang Jianfeng's most important skill was the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, capable of unleashing around fifty strikes, with a maximum of eighty-one.
Tang Jianfeng also knew two of the Nine Absolute Techniques of Clear Sky, which were also Tang Hao's techniques in the original story. These weren't Soul Skills, but rather nine corresponding methods for generating power with the Clear Sky Hammer, each with its own incantation. Although not Soul Skills, each technique allowed the Clear Sky Hammer to deal tons of damage.
