"In recognition of your contributions, I will reward you with a technique called 'Ontology Art,'" Bibi Dong said without hesitation, using Tang San's contribution as a reward.
Ontology Art? Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged puzzled looks, unsure of what it was but guessing it might be related to Tang San's research on ontology martial souls over the past year.
Tang San was also present, so it was likely his creation.
Could it be a method for cultivating ontology martial souls? But neither of them had ontology martial souls... Well, Ghost Douluo's Ghost might be considered a special type of ontology martial soul since it was essentially a soul.
"This is a body-forging technique that Tang San created based on ontology martial souls. It's highly beneficial for Titled Douluo, and it even includes a skill similar to the true form of the martial soul armor. This can help you break through your current limits and contend with Super Douluo above Level 98," Bibi Dong explained the origins of the "Ontology Art" and highlighted its most important benefits for the two Titled Douluo.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was astonished, unable to imagine that Tang San had developed another self-created soul skill similar to the true form of the martial soul armor: the Martial Soul Bone Armor True Form.
Moreover, if the Pope was willing to bestow this upon them, did it mean—
The cultivation requirements for this "Ontology Art" were not as stringent as Tang San's version of the fusion ring?
"Thank you, Your Holiness!" they both exclaimed excitedly. Chrysanthemum Douluo respectfully raised his hands to receive the "Ontology Art" manual, which Bibi Dong had levitated to him with her spiritual power.
"For the specific cultivation methods, consult Tang San. He will guide you," Bibi Dong added, her tone slightly more serious. "I have only one requirement: if you break through Level 95, you must not align with the Worship Hall faction, even if they extend an invitation. Can you do that?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly replied, "Rest assured, Your Holiness. The Worship Hall is the decaying old root of the Spirit Hall and must eventually be eradicated. Ghost Douluo and I will not side with them."
They were well aware of the internal factions within the Spirit Hall: Bibi Dong's Pope faction and Qian Daoliu's Worship Hall faction.
In terms of the number and strength of Titled Douluo, the Worship Hall was naturally more powerful. However, in terms of control over the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong's Pope faction was stronger.
Currently, the number of Titled Douluo in Bibi Dong's faction was still less than that of the Worship Hall, but their quality was steadily increasing. Tang San, in particular, could already contend with peerless Douluo. Not to mention his girlfriends—Xiao Wu, Guang Ling, Ning Rongrong, Huo Wu, etc.—who could rival Titled Douluo in certain aspects.
Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan were also gradually leaning towards the Spirit Hall, and their talent and potential were significant, able to rival ordinary Spirit Saints and even Spirit Douluo.
There was also the Spirit Hall's golden generation, especially Hu Liena. With the Throne of Wisdom and Spirit, ordinary Titled Douluo couldn't resist her.
Furthermore, six outer cities had been established around Spirit City. With ongoing promotion, Bibi Dong had become widely known, while the Worship Hall seemed to fade into obscurity.
Chrysanthemum Douluo estimated that within ten years, Tang San and the others would become Titled Douluo, crushing the Worship Hall.
No! If he and Ghost Douluo mastered the Martial Soul Bone Armor True Form, the top combat power of the Pope faction's Titled Douluo would be enough to crush all other Titled Douluo except the Grand Worshiper.
Following the Pope faction was the path to a bright future!
Ghost Douluo also vowed, "We will follow you and the Holy Son faithfully, Your Holiness!"
Unlike Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo was less eloquent, but he knew that even if he broke through the Level 95 threshold and reached Level 96, he couldn't join the Worship Hall.
The reason was simple—
His Ghost martial soul was fundamentally incompatible with the holy angelic powers.
Just approaching the Worship Hall, the radiance of the angelic light would burn his martial soul and suppress most of his soul power.
Therefore, even if Bibi Dong believed Chrysanthemum Douluo might suddenly defect to the Worship Hall, she wouldn't believe Ghost Douluo would do the same.
"Your Holiness, it's one thing to use my research as a reward, but now you want me to help explain it too?" Tang San smiled wryly. "I'm busy with my own cultivation, research, and managing the Blue Silver Network. I don't have much time."
"No matter, you can spare some time at night," Bibi Dong replied nonchalantly. "After all, Yue Guan and Gui Mei are Titled Douluo. A month or two without rest won't harm them..."
Yue Guan and Gui Mei: "..."
"And you're nearly at the Spirit Saint level, right? With your immense vitality, you don't need sleep either..."
Bibi Dong's casual tone carried an undeniable authority. "Those who can, should."
Tang San couldn't help but suspect that Bibi Dong found some aspects of him displeasing but didn't dislike him. It felt more like she was teasing him, as if playing a prank.
Did Bibi Dong have such a mischievous side? Or perhaps, after receiving hidden help from Electrolux, the depression in her heart had dissipated, and she had returned to a youthful liveliness?
"Since Your Holiness has asked, it would be rude to refuse." Tang San eventually agreed.
However, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo broke out in cold sweats. Speaking to the Pope with such familiarity, as if they were close friends... It was unbelievable!
When had the Pope become so approachable?
Even towards the Holy Maiden, Bibi Dong maintained her papal dignity in front of others, but with Tang San, there seemed to be no such requirement.
And it was the Pope who first spoke with a playful tone!
Perhaps it was because of Tang San's extraordinary talent...
After Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo left, Tang San asked, "Why not call Ghost Leopard Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo as well? They could also benefit from cultivating 'Ontology Art.'"
"I don't trust them as much as Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo," Bibi Dong replied, her eyes cold. "Those two only follow my orders because their spirit power hasn't reached Level 96. Otherwise, they would have defected to the Worship Hall by now... For now, they need to be observed for a while longer."
Tang San offered no comment—he didn't involve himself in internal politics or management issues.
"By the way, what level has your spirit power reached over the past year?" Bibi Dong inquired about Tang San's progress. "I must say, your control over your spirit power is remarkable. I can't sense any fluctuations from you."
"Level 69," Tang San replied honestly. "I'm about to condense the corresponding spirit power core, Qi and blood golden pill, and spiritual essence."
"When will you start?" Bibi Dong asked with concern. "Before or after obtaining your seventh spirit ring?"
"During the process of obtaining the seventh spirit ring," Tang San replied calmly.
"Isn't that too risky?"
Condensing the core of essence, Qi, and spirit while absorbing a spirit ring—was this a test of his ability to multitask?
Bibi Dong was somewhat worried...
