Chapter 224: Absorbing Soul Bones, Breaking Through Level 90
Gu Han and Bibi Dong were naturally unaware of Yu Xiaogang's dark transformation.
Finally finding some time, they left the auspicious beast to little Qian Renxue, letting the two play on their own. Then, they began absorbing soul bones.
Bibi Dong absorbed the torso bone, declaring the remaining soul bones after she had slain the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Gu Han, however, was different; he was determined to absorb all the soul bones.
While the soul bones wouldn't be added to his body, the buffs they provided would remain, and no one would refuse the chance to acquire a few more powerful skills.
The soul bone absorption went smoothly, and Bibi Dong, who only needed to absorb one soul bone, was the first to complete.
After absorbing the 290,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor torso bone, Bibi Dong's soul power level instantly increased by three levels. Combined with the level she'd gained through her own cultivation, she broke through from level 86 to 89.
Just one level away from reaching the Titled Douluo realm, the coveted status of all soul masters.
By now, Bibi Dong had already decided on a title for herself, though she might not necessarily use it in the future — Divine Judge Douluo.
Using the divine sword as her instrument of judgment, she implied her right to judge good and evil. It was majestic and sacred, yet also oppressive.
Although her junior fellow apprentice would surely tease her about being a fool, she didn't care; she had already made up her mind.
Not just her own, she had even decided on a title for her junior fellow apprentice: Sword Immortal Douluo.
As for whether her junior fellow apprentice would agree, Bibi Dong was confident he would.
Why? No reason — he was just so domineering.
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong raised her chin proudly.
These things didn't matter for now. Bibi Dong felt the changes this soul bone had brought to her.
First, it was a powerful vitality — an endless vitality. Needless to say, this passive effect would allow her to quickly and automatically restore both her vitality and soul power during battle.
As long as she didn't use her eighth and ninth soul skills too frequently, her soul power would never run out.
Next was the resonance of the Blue Silver Grass, which resonated with nearby Blue Silver Grass and contributed its perspective.
This spirit bone also granted two powerful spirit skills.
The first was Life Blossom, which unleashed immense vitality, restoring all injuries to all friendly targets within range and clearing all negative effects.
The second was Emperor's Wrath, which used the torso bone as a medium to unleash the mighty power of the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline, instantly unleashing countless Blue Silver Overlord Spears with extreme attack and killing power.
"Well, Junior Brother should need to absorb until night. Let's go find Xue'er and play first."
With this thought, Bibi Dong scurried off. This was the Holy Child Temple, so there was no need to worry about any danger.
She arrived at the courtyard where little Qian Renxue usually played. The courtyard was cozy, with a lawn paved to prevent her from falling.
Inside, two little golden retrievers were chasing each other.
"Damn it! Stop running! Give me back my Lazy Sheep doll!"
Qian Renxue, clutching a small rattle, angrily chased after the little Golden Lion on her short legs.
Little Golden Lion was running ahead, holding a stuffed toy in its mouth. It turned its head from time to time to look, and even deliberately slowed down its pace.
Qian Renxue's two legs naturally couldn't outrun the four-legged Little Golden Lion, and coupled with her young age, she soon became exhausted and panting.
Ling Yuan sat aside, watching the scene with a gentle smile.
Bibi Dong pushed the door aside, and the first thing she saw was the Little Golden Lion rushing towards her.
She subconsciously reached out, grabbed the little creature's neck, lifted him up in front of her, and smiled.
"You little guy, you're being naughty again."
Little Qian Renxue's face immediately showed an aggrieved expression after seeing Bibi Dong. The little girl ran up, pulled Bibi Dong's skirt with her little hand, pointed at Little Golden Lion, and complained, "Sister Dong'er, Little Golden Lion stole my toy."
Little Golden Lion quickly broke free from Bibi Dong's hands, then returned the Lazy Sheep doll to Qian Renxue and sat down obediently.
"I didn't. I was just playing with Xiaoxue."
Little Jin Ni was a quick learner. In just a week or so, she had already mastered human language.
Her voice was equally childish, but compared to little Qian Renxue, the little auspicious beast seemed to possess a higher intelligence — roughly the wisdom of a six or seven-year-old human child.
Little Qian Renxue was less than two years old, and even though she was much smarter than her peers, her intelligence was still limited.
Bibi Dong squatted down, placing one hand on each of their heads and rubbing them roughly.
"You two, you're tired from running around today. Come over here and drink some water, then just read your comics."
"Oh, okay, Dong'er."
"Okay, Mom."
The two little ones nodded obediently, and the matter of the Lazy Sheep plush doll was easily forgotten.
"Master's Wife," Bibi Dong said coquettishly to Ling Yuan.
A flicker of surprise flashed in Ling Yuan's eyes, and she teased with a smile, "Dong'er is about to become a Titled Douluo too. It seems that your record as the youngest Titled Douluo on this continent will be difficult to surpass."
"Hehe, of course~"
In front of Master's Wife, Bibi Dong showed no sign of modesty but raised her chin proudly.
Just ask yourself, who in the world can break through to level ninety before the age of eighteen?
Ling Yuan smiled and reached out to scratch the tip of Bibi Dong's nose.
"Well, you, you, all right. I'm going to rest. You can play with these two little ones first."
"Yes, Master's Wife. Go and rest."
Bibi Dong stood at attention with a serious expression, though she winked playfully as she spoke.
Ling Yuan patted Bibi Dong's head with amusement and then left the courtyard.
She was confident in Bibi Dong's ability to care for children, though there was a hint of her treating them like toys.
But that didn't matter; she saw Xiaoxue was quite happy.
After Master's Wife left, Bibi Dong, her eyes shining, took little Qian Renxue in her arms and gave her a good rub. Even Little Jin Ni wasn't spared. The two little ones were delighted.
Then they returned to the comic book reading room.
The warm atmosphere lasted until sunset, when the sky began to turn red.
Inside the Holy Child Hall, an overwhelming aura erupted, drawing the gazes of all the powerful.
Bibi Dong's eyes were filled with joy.
"Junior Brother has emerged from seclusion! With such a powerful aura, could he have reached the Titled Douluo realm?"
Outside the Pope's Hall, Qian Xunji laughed heartily. "Hahahaha, good, good, good! Xiaohan has finally broken through to level 90!"
He was overjoyed, thinking he could finally retire and enjoy the lifestyle of an old father.
However, he preferred the position of Pope to Bibi Dong. After all, she was his eldest disciple. Although younger than his second disciple, Gu Han, she would still be ranked ahead of him. But that didn't matter; he could just split the position in two.
Thinking of this, Qian Xunji couldn't help but gloat. "Haha, I'm so clever."
Unfortunately, his idea was destined to fail.
Qian Daoliu had already made plans for Gu Han.
Several of the elders also looked at him with surprise. Their Spirit Hall had finally given birth to a new Titled Douluo — a powerful new generation at such a young age.
"An eighteen-year-old Titled Douluo is truly heaven-defying."
Even though they had been mentally prepared, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in amazement when Gu Han finally broke through to the Titled Douluo level.
"The momentum he displayed after just breaking through is no less than that of a Super Douluo. This kid truly defies the heavens."
Golden Crocodile Douluo couldn't help but sigh. During his Soul Douluo days, this kid, with his full strength, was capable of battling a powerful Super Soul Beast like the Titan Giant Ape.
Now that he's reached Level 90, how heaven-defying is that?
"This kid — I'm afraid apart from beings like you and me, there's probably no way anyone else can deal with him."
Qian Daoliu's lips curved in a smile of relief. Reaching this level at such a young age, with such extraordinary combat power, even if he wasn't chosen by a god, he had a chance to create his own godhood.
After all, his ancestors had followed the path of self-created godhood.
He even envisioned the future of the Spirit Hall's twin gods, and his heart was filled with joy.
