Chapter 110: The Black World's Bibi Dong Breaks Down
Black World, Spirit Hall.
Bang!
Smash!
"Why, why is none of this in my life? Why must my life be so miserable? Why!!"
Inside Bibi Dong's room, chaos reigned.
Everything that could be thrown or smashed had been destroyed by her, yet even so, the rage and sorrow in Bibi Dong's heart showed no sign of fading.
Thinking about her own life, before meeting Yu Xiaogang, she was like the Bibi Dong on the heavenly curtain—friendless.
Back in the day, she had also participated in Spirit Fighting, but it was always one-on-one.
Things like two-on-two or team battles were forever beyond her reach.
She could, of course, force others to team up with her, but with her strength, teaming with those people would only make them look like sidekicks.
Then those people would quit the team. After all, those whom Bibi Dong could pull into a team had at least some talent; such people came to Spirit Fighting to hone themselves.
Make them act as Bibi Dong's sidekicks?
No one would be willing to do that.
As for team battles, it was also her dragging the entire team along; victory or defeat depended almost entirely on her own performance.
In the end, it was because there was no one her age with comparable talent to Bibi Dong.
Yet now she learned that her counterpart in the parallel world actually had teammates who were her equals.
What's more, this teammate was actually the parallel world's Yu Xiaogang.
How could she accept this? Why was her own life so dark, while every aspect of the other's life filled her with envy?
Studying and growing together with Yu Xiaogang in the same academy, even forming a Spirit Fighting duo to fight side by side.
Why should the other get to personally experience such a beautiful thing that only existed in her own fantasies?
Bibi Dong looked at the brilliantly smiling face of her parallel world self on the heavenly curtain, wishing she could destroy it outright.
At the same time, Bibi Dong even hated the deeply loved Yu Xiaogang.
It was precisely because Yu Xiaogang hadn't worked hard enough that she could only hide in her room, peeking at someone else's life.
If you had worked hard enough, it should be me being shown on the heavenly curtain right now!
[The footage continues...]
[Although they had decided to form a duo to compete in the Great Spirit Arena, before that, both Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang needed to understand each other's specific situations in detail.]
[Things like the characteristics of Bibi Dong's Spirit, her Spirit Ability situation—Yu Xiaogang at least needed to know these for them to fight together.]
[Otherwise, if during battle, they accidentally released Spirit Abilitys that affected their teammate, they'd become a laughingstock.]
[If ordinary people became a laughingstock, it might be one thing, but these two—one was the son of a Titled Douluo, the other was a Titled Douluo's Disciple.]
[They were also confident they would definitely become powerhouses in the future.]
[In that case, any joke they made now could become a black mark on their history in the future.]
[So the two came to a Training Ground, preparing for a probing battle.]
["My Spirit is Little Dragon. It can fight alongside me. You've already seen my first two Spirit Abilitys during class."]
["So now it's your turn to introduce your situation."]
[Yu Xiaogang looked at Bibi Dong.]
["Let me say this first, my Spirit is very scary. Don't let me scare you to tears."]
[Bibi Dong said, looking at Yu Xiaogang.]
["Don't worry, I won't laugh at you."]
["I already said my Spirit isn't ugly!!"]
[Bibi Dong said through gritted teeth. After speaking, she took a deep breath.]
["Martial Soul Possession!"]
[As Bibi Dong circulated her spirit power, purplish-black spirit power emerged from her body, transforming into a layer of purplish-black armor that enveloped her upper body.]
[Immediately after, Bibi Dong's legs were wrapped in a large amount of purple energy, quickly obscuring their form and turning into a giant spider-like lower half.]
[Eight thick spider legs extended outward, their tips gleaming with a chilling light.]
[To be honest, the moment he saw Bibi Dong's Martial Soul Possession, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.]
[No other reason—Bibi Dong's Spirit was truly, as she had said, scary enough to make a child cry.]
[Fortunately, Yu Xiaogang was not a child.]
["This is... the Death Spider Emperor!"]
[Yu Xiaogang, who had seen this type of Spirit Beast in the illustrated bestiary, instantly understood just what Bibi Dong's Spirit was.]
[The Death Spider Emperor is a devil spider-type Spirit Beast, a ruler among devil spiders, and also an emperor among Insect-Type Soul Beasts.]
[To put it bluntly, even the Legacy Spirit of his own Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, could not surpass the Death Spider Emperor in terms of pure Bloodline rank.]
["I truly never expected it to be the Death Spider Emperor. This Spirit will be incredible when fully grown. And this is only Bibi Dong's first Spirit; she has another one."]
["I just don't know what her other Spirit is. It probably won't be too shabby either."]
[While Yu Xiaogang observed Bibi Dong, Bibi Dong was also observing Yu Xiaogang.]
[Her eyesight was sharp, allowing her to see through a person's gaze and detect those who felt rejection or disgust towards her during her Martial Soul Possession.]
[And from Yu Xiaogang's eyes, Bibi Dong saw no rejection or disgust.]
[He was surprised, but in Bibi Dong's view, that was normal.]
[If there wasn't even surprise, then Bibi Dong would instead suspect the other person was hiding their feelings too well.]
["So, is my Spirit very frightening?"]
[Bibi Dong asked tentatively.]
["It is quite intimidating, but like you said, it's not ugly."]
[Yu Xiaogang nodded.]
[He had always been the type with very strong nerves; he had even done things like catching cockroaches with his bare hands before.]
[So a spider was nothing.
[Not to mention, many things are terrifying when small, but when enlarged, they aren't scary at all.]
["You..."]
[Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Bibi Dong wore an expression of annoyance on her face, but inside she was happy.]
[Because Yu Xiaogang truly was as he said—he didn't reject her because of her Spirit.]
[She no longer had to worry about losing a potential friend due to her Spirit's appearance.]
["Since you've already performed Martial Soul Possession, let's start the battle."]
["Let me say this first, I won't go easy on you just because you're a girl."]
[Yu Xiaogang waved his hand, activating a Spirit Ability. Three Light Swords condensed above his head, ready to move at any moment.]
[Little Dragon also put away its silly grin, looking at Bibi Dong with a face full of Battle Intent.]
["I should be the one saying that. Don't think just because you defeated a Soul Ancestor in class, you can defeat me."]
[Bibi Dong said with confidence.]
["You should know, before the holiday, even without obtaining my third spirit ring, I could defeat many people in class."]
["Now that I've obtained my spirit ring, my strength has advanced further. Who will win or lose is not so certain."]
