This sentence made Bi Bidong also couldn't help falling into brief hesitation...
She looked at Xu Sheng's appearance, which didn't seem like a joke...
But it was just the simple release of a second Martial Soul; could it really be that serious?
However, Flame, who also heard everything loud and clear, suppressed the fear in his heart and stubbornly said, "Even... even if he is a Title Douluo, looking down on us like this with such words is too much, it's just the release of a Martial Soul!"
To his surprise, Evil Moon immediately covered his mouth and said with a solemn face, "Flame, shut up. If his first Martial Soul is already this terrifying, then his second Martial Soul might indeed have an indelible impact on us as he said."
Already at Innate Soul Power Level Ninety, nothing is impossible!
With a pale face Hulena forced herself to rally and then spoke, "But... brother, we are, after all, the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall, we can't lose the face of Spirit Hall!"
Besides, she was also curious about Xu Sheng's second Martial Soul!
They were nearly the same age, just how powerful could he be!
After pondering for a while, Bi Bidong still spoke up, "Hulena, Flame, Evil Moon, you three stay behind, the rest retreat!"
"Yes, Your Holiness (Teacher)!!"
Upon hearing these words, the other members of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation didn't dare to object and quickly left the Pope Hall...
In an instant, only Hulena and the two others remained!
Only then did Bi Bidong gaze at Xu Sheng and speak out, "Xu Sheng, now, you can release your second Martial Soul."
She was quite confident in people like Hulena; they couldn't possibly be scared by just a Martial Soul!
Xu Sheng then retracted the Nine-Hearted Begonia, and immediately after, he felt a surge of biting chill overwhelming him, instantly consuming the entire hall...
...
Not long after, Evil Moon and the others, with no light in their eyes, walked out of the Pope Hall in a trance...
Flame, with his head bowed, kept tugging at the corner of his mouth, saying, "Fake... It must be fake, it's impossible for such a person to exist, his existence simply doesn't make any sense!!"
"Right... Right, that must have been some soul skill that could simulate the age of Soul Rings, it has to be!"
The neighboring Evil Moon closed his eyes and spoke word by word, "Flame, don't... don't be silly, that terrifying pressure and the cold that seeps into the marrow, there's no way it could be faked!"
"Besides, if it weren't for His Holiness stepping in to resist the cold, we would have already become ice sculptures!"
And Hulena, like someone who had lost her dreams, muttered to herself, "If I knew this would happen, I would have left with the others and wouldn't have to endure such an assault on the soul!!"
Hearing them speak like this, Flame, who was comforting himself, was dragged back to reality, and with a choked voice, he said, "Nana, Evil Moon, how are we supposed to cultivate after today?"
"What's the point in cultivating?"
The gap between people could be so huge!
Evil Moon sighed and lamented, "Yeah, when you think that someone's starting point might be our end point, the pride of being the Spirit Hall Golden Generation has been completely shattered."
Hulena rubbed her head and said, "Brother, Flame, let's not go back to the academy for cultivation today, let's go somewhere else to calm our minds."
"After all, we've got the teacher's permission!"
There was no way they could cultivate today...
Flame wiped the corner of his eyes and nodded, "Nana makes sense, let's do that!"
Naturally, Evil Moon raised both hands in agreement, "I also agree!"
...
Back to Pope Hall!
Bi Bidong swept her gaze across the surroundings and said with a heavy tone, "I never expected your second Martial Soul to be so terrifying! Just the residual waves released have already affected reality!"
Indeed, Pope Hall was now completely Ice Sealed by that surging chill, as if it were a palace constructed entirely of ice blocks!!
From a distance, it was an awe-inspiring sight!
Xu Sheng was unconcerned, instead reminding her, "Your Holiness, the scene just now may have greatly shocked Hulena and the others; it would be best to let them calm down for a while!"
Bi Bidong's beautiful eyes slightly glared at the prior speaker, but there was no hint of reproach...
"I understand that, I've already instructed them not to cultivate these following days!"
Xu Sheng did not dwell on the matter, "That's good. But Your Holiness, is there anything else you wish to know?"
Bi Bidong calmed the turmoil in her heart and spoke earnestly, "Of course, were the Soul Rings of your second Martial Soul obtained by hunting soul beasts on your own?"
Setting aside those hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings, just the golden Soul Ring alone was something she had never seen before!
However, judging by the power it emitted, it was definitely not comparable to a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring!
If she could acquire it, wouldn't her strength receive an unprecedented boost!
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng shook his head and said, "Not at all, I acquired those Soul Rings when I first awakened my Martial Soul!"
After a pause, he added, "To put it simply, they are God-Given Soul Rings!"
Bi Bidong showed a puzzled expression, "God-Given Soul Rings?"
The more she heard from him, the more things she was completely unaware of!
"That's right, they can be understood as Soul Rings bestowed by the Gods of the Divine Realm."
"But aren't those the Soul Rings that come with your own Martial Soul? What does it have to do with Gods?"
"They aren't related at all; I personally classified the two together!"
Bi Bidong nodded thoughtfully, continuing to inquire, "Another question, with your body, you shouldn't be able to withstand such vast Soul Power; how are you able to control it so adeptly?"
Xu Sheng was not secretive at all, "It's quite simple, I have absorbed three soul bones, and with their help, I'm able to withstand the pressure brought about by powerful Soul Power!"
"Your Holiness, do these answers demonstrate my sincerity?"
Bi Bidong pursed her tender lips and stated subtly, "I can't fully trust you yet, but I'm willing to give it a listen; tell me why you need the Spirit Hall."
With the talent of the former, the assistance that Spirit Hall could provide was almost negligible!
Xu Sheng's gaze gradually turned serious, "I need the Spirit Hall for gathering information."
"You must also be aware of the news, Your Holiness; not long ago, within the Tiandou Empire, there have been multiple incidents of soul beasts attacking humans!"
Bi Bidong raised an eyebrow, "Indeed, I have heard about this, but such incidents are not uncommon."
While she had not made any special inquiries, every few years there would be incidents of soul beasts leaving the soul beast forest and attacking Soul Masters!
Xu Sheng did not argue, but continued, "Is that so? Then do you know, Your Holiness, that those attacked humans died in extremely tragic ways, with few remaining intact?"
"That actually wasn't the work of soul beasts!"
