Chapter 123 - Regretful Yu Xiaogang

**Chapter 123: Regretful Yu Xiaogang**

"Damn it!"

"I was too careless!"

Watching Bibi Dong's figure disappear into the distance, Yu Xiaogang clenched his teeth so tightly it felt like they might break.

He was furious at his mistake.

Now, regret consumed him. He believed he could have figured out what Bibi Dong said if only he had been more thorough.

Because it wasn't something particularly hard to notice.

However, his carelessness led to disaster. Not only had he failed to impress her, but he had also shown his ignorance right in front of her.

It wasn't outright ignorance, but as she pointed out, he had rushed to conclusions after finding some scattered information and started speaking without fully understanding all the key aspects of the issue.

He had drawn conclusions based on incomplete knowledge and arrogantly tried to showcase his so-called intelligence.

This attitude was even more irritating than simple ignorance.

Bibi Dong's final look of disdain said it all. That gaze burned into him.

'It's all ruined now!'

Yu Xiaogang realized just how badly he had messed up.

After making such a poor impression, his chances of pursuing Bibi Dong were practically nonexistent.

"Damn it…"

"How does she know so much?"

"She's so talented in cultivation. She should only focus on that, so why does she also know so much about these things…"

"I get it. The reason she was so calm and unsurprised by what I said must be because this information is probably in the upper floors of the library!"

"Damn it! It's all Qian Xunji's fault. If only he let me access the upper floors, I wouldn't have embarrassed myself in front of her!"

In the end, his thoughts took a strange turn. Yu Xiaogang blamed Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji for his humiliation.

To him, even though he made a mistake, it was just a minor one. The real fault lay with Qian Xunji for putting him in such a position.

But as he tried to justify himself this way, his mood only worsened.

If pursuing Bibi Dong wasn't going to work, what else could he do to contribute enough to gain access to the library's upper floors?

"No, forget it. There's no way Qian Xunji would ever grant me the authority to learn the Martial Soul Hall's core secrets. Normal contributions won't be enough!"

"That means I shouldn't even bother thinking about contributing. If I want to get to the upper floors, there's only one path left: sneaking in."

The more Yu Xiaogang thought about this, the darker his thoughts became.

He had already considered sneaking into the upper floors before, but he hadn't dared take the risk.

With guards stationed on the upper levels of the library, getting in unnoticed would not be easy.

'I'll still have to focus on that woman!'

'At the same time, I'll need to figure out how to sneak in without getting caught!'

...

"Well done, very well done, Xiaoyi! You truly haven't let me down!"

"You even managed to bring the Elephant Armored Sect to heel!"

In the Pope's Palace, Qian Xunji had no idea that Yu Xiaogang was cursing him in his mind. At this moment, Qian Xunji was in high spirits!

He had just received a letter from Gu Ziyi and learned that his youngest disciple had successfully carried out the plan he had proposed before—and triumphed.

Moreover, Gu Ziyi had managed to subdue none other than the Elephant Armored Sect, one of the Seven Great Sects of the Heaven Dou Empire.

This was an incredible surprise for him.

Now, the Elephant Armored Sect had sent a hundred disciples to join the Martial Soul Hall, preparing to work under its banner.

Although Gu Ziyi had left months ago, there had been no news in that time, and Qian Xunji had almost assumed his disciple had failed.

Who would have thought that Gu Ziyi had succeeded long ago but had kept it from him, his teacher?

Now that the Elephant Armored Sect had officially sent people to join the Martial Soul Hall, Gu Ziyi had finally revealed the fact that he had already conquered the sect some time ago.

Overjoyed, Qian Xunji quickly began making arrangements for the disciples from the Elephant Armored Sect.

These disciples from the sect are far more useful than regular Soul Masters.

Since they all have the same Martial Soul, he can make specific arrangements very effectively for these Soul Masters.

"Master, I have reached the Soul Emperor level!"

It didn't take long for Qian Xunji to be happy with the news from Gu Ziyi, and soon he became even more excited because Bibi Dong had reached the next level.

"Good, very good, a 17-year-old Soul Emperor, very good, my disciple, you are the pride of your master!"

"Call Elder Yue Guan and Elder Gui Mei, the master will personally go to your Soul Beast hunt!"

Qian Xunji was pleased and quickly made the preparations.

Then he took Bibi Dong, along with the two Elders, to the Soul Beast Forest to hunt a Soul Beast.

This time, she was looking for a Soul Beast similar to a spider.

Although absorbing another type of Soul Beast with her Soul Ring also has some good effects, Gu Ziyi suggested that she only absorb spiders for her Martial Souls, so Bibi Dong agreed with him.

Her luck was also very good this time, as she indeed found a 20,000-year-old Demon Spider with a Human Face.

"This is the Soul Beast I choose, Master, I want the Soul Ring from this 20,000-year-old Demon Spider with a Human Face!"

After she discovered that it was a Demon Spider with a Human Face and had 20,000 years of cultivation, she wanted this Soul Beast as her next Soul Ring, and she was very excited about it.

Terrifying Soul Beasts, like the 20,000-year-old Demon Spider with a Human Face, are often hunted by powerful Soul Beasts because they are extremely deadly. It's not easy for these Soul Beasts to cultivate for so long, much less one with tens of thousands of years of cultivation.

A 20,000-year-old Demon Spider with a Human Face is extremely valuable.

"Don't worry, Your Holiness the Saint, leave it to us. This little spider won't escape!"

Yue Guan was the first to laugh and then pursued the 20,000-year-old Demon Spider with a Human Face as it fled.

Gui Mei and Li Chanfei were also not idle. Although they were not as strong as Yue Guan, they had to contribute since they were there.

Moreover, capturing and crippling such a powerful Soul Beast is much harder than simply killing it. Furthermore, it's a 20,000-year-old Demon Spider with a Human Face, so Yue Guan might not be able to deal with this Soul Beast easily.

This was true, as when the 20,000-year-old Demon Spider with a Human Face realized that its escape speed wasn't as fast as Yue Guan and the other two, it immediately used its special hiding ability.

Then, it completely disappeared from their sight.

After a Soul Beast reaches 10,000 years of cultivation, they learn a special ability for concealment. This ability can not only hide the body shape of these Soul Beasts, but also conceal their breath and even block the mental detection of Soul Masters.

"Tsk tsk, you're really hiding!"

"It seems I can only use my special abilities!"

"Ninth Soul Ability: The Chrysanthemums Are Broken, The Ground Is Covered With Wounds, The Flowers Fall, And The People Are Left With A Broken Heart!"

Boom—

After Yue Guan realized he couldn't find the Demon Spider with a Human Face, he directly used his ninth Soul Ability.

For a moment, countless chrysanthemum petals scattered everywhere.

Yue Guan wanted to use his super-range Soul Ability to find the location of the Demon Spider with a Human Face.

"Kie——"

Under the shroud of Yue Guan's large-scale Soul Ability, the Demon Spider with a Human Face could no longer hide and was finally forced to reveal its location because of a cry.

"Let's go!"

After locating the Demon Spider with a Human Face exposed by Yue Guan, both Li Chanfei and Gui Mei quickly attacked it together.

"Kie——"

"Bang—"

"Boom—"

"Kie——"

A great battle soon began, with Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji watching from the side.

They didn't need to act personally.

Qian Xunji had come in person only to ensure his disciple's safety.

"Kie——"

"Whoosh—"

Soon, the 20,000-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider was beaten nearly to death by Yue Guan and the other two. It fell to the ground with only its final breaths left.

"Fifth Soul Skill: Vampire Spider Bite!"

Seeing this, Bibi Dong didn't hesitate and used her fifth soul skill to kill the 20,000-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider.

Buzz—

Soon, a black Soul Ring flew from the body of the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

Bibi Dong then began to absorb the Soul Ring under the protection of her teacher and the other three.

After she completed the absorption of the Soul Ring, her Soul Power level was directly raised to Level 61.

Becoming a true Soul Emperor with six Soul Rings.

Puff~

Puff~

Puff~

However, when Bibi Dong was about to discover what her sixth soul skill was, spider legs suddenly stretched out from her back.

"Soul Bone!"

"Soul Bone!" x3

Seeing the Eight Spider Legs appearing behind her, Qian Xunji and the other three shouted in surprise.

They immediately recognized the Eight Spider Legs behind Bibi Dong the first time they saw them, and they were all extremely surprised. They hadn't expected her to be so lucky, not only finding a 20,000-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider but also obtaining an external soul bone. An external soul bone is more precious than a hundred-thousand-year-old soul bone.

This is an external soul bone that grows alongside the Soul Master!

And it doesn't take up space in the body like regular soul bones.

"Teacher, is this an external soul bone?"

Bibi Dong was also very surprised at this moment and then tried to control the Eight Spider Legs behind her.

Since she absorbed this external soul bone, she was now a Soul Emperor, and unlike a reckless protagonist who absorbs beyond the limit of their body, she was able to quickly and easily control her external soul bone.

Unlike Tang San, who hadn't even realized he had obtained the soul bone after absorbing the Soul Ring.

"That's right, good disciple, you are very lucky!"

Qian Xunji's tone was full of admiration.

Bibi Dong was also very happy to have obtained an external soul bone.

"Tell me, what is your sixth soul skill?"

Then Qian Xunji quickly asked about her soul skill.

"Invisibility!"

After Bibi Dong felt for a moment, she quickly revealed what her sixth soul skill does with joy.

Her sixth soul skill is the special ability of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, its stealth.

And this invisibility is not like Gu Ziyi's Invisibility Talisman.

After using his Invisibility Talisman, he can no longer use his soul abilities, and his aura cannot be completely hidden by the invisibility.

Bibi Dong's concealment can hide even her own aura and mental power from others. No one will be able to find her, even if they use their mental power to scan where she might be.

Just like Yue Guan earlier, the mental power of a Title Douluo couldn't find the hiding place of the 20,000-year-old Faceless Demon Spider.

Not to mention that in the hidden state, she can also use her soul abilities to attack.

Although long-range attacks lose their concealment effect once they leave her body, this can still have unexpected effects in battle. The most powerful is her close-range attack. She can maintain her concealment and attack the enemy up close.

Finally, besides using her invisibility to attack, she can also use it to escape and save her life!

The effect of this soul ability is very good.

"Yes, it really is the special ability of the Faceless Demon Spider!"

"Now, Dong'er, your combat effectiveness has skyrocketed!"

"Xiaoyi will have a headache if he has to train with you now!"

Qian Xunji heard his disciple's words and praised her repeatedly. In his opinion, this soul ability is indeed very good.

It is a very practical soul ability in various scenarios.

"Hehehe, teacher, don't tell my younger brother about my sixth soul ability just yet, wait until he comes back."

Bibi Dong immediately laughed upon hearing her professor.

"Okay, then your professor will keep your sixth soul ability a secret!"

Qian Xunji smiled lightly.

After returning to the Martial Soul Hall, Qian Xunji did not hide the fact that Bibi Dong had reached the level of Soul Emperor and quickly spread the news that she had reached the level of a Soul Emperor at the age of 17.

For a while, the entire Douluo Continent was shocked by this news.

A 17-year-old Soul Emperor, that's amazing.

"She's already a Soul Emperor at 17 years!"

"How did she train all these years?"

"That's incredible..."

"No wonder she was accepted as a disciple by the Pope years ago. This talent is insane..."

"…"

Although everyone was already amazed by Bibi Dong's talent, they had to acknowledge the absurdity of her talent once again.

One thing is having talent, but another is being able to fully realize that talent and improve the Soul Power level so quickly.

"She's only 17 years old. Does this mean she can still participate in two more Soul Master Competitions?"

"She can dominate all the Soul Master teams by herself in these next two competitions, right?"

"Yes, the other teams have no hope. The Martial Soul Hall will win three consecutive championships. Let the other teams fight for second place!"

"…"

At the same time, everyone also realized that at Bibi Dong's age, she could still participate in two more Soul Master Competitions.

Therefore, as long as she keeps participating, the other teams will lose hope of winning the championship.

"She is now a Soul Emperor?"

After Yu Xiaogang learned that Bibi Dong had broken through to the level of a Soul Emperor, he regretted his impatience even more.

He lamented that his earlier rashness had left such a bad impression on her.

Of course, he was even more envious and jealous of her talent.

He hadn't even reached Level 29, but Bibi Dong, who was only a year older than him, was already at Level 61.

But this also strengthened his determination to pursue her.

If the impression she has of him is not good, he must change her opinion. In any case, if he wants to obtain the full knowledge of the Martial Soul Hall, he will only be able to do so by conquering Bibi Dong.

...

"She finally reached the Soul Emperor level!"

When Gu Ziyi learned of his older sister's breakthrough, he was also happy for her.

In fact, Bibi Dong had been stuck at Level 59 for several months.

"A 17-year-old Soul Emperor is truly frightening!"

"Even Tang San doesn't have such fast cultivation speed."

Gu Ziyi was also proud of her achievement.

Because he knew very well that it was thanks to his relationship with Bibi Dong that things had gotten so good this time.

Although Bibi Dong's talent in the original work was also very strong, it wasn't as exaggerated as it is now.

One could only say that the Immortal Plants are indeed the greatest blessing of the Douluo Continent.

It's just a little inferior to the Divine Heritage trials.

The reason why all of the Shrek Seven Devils were able to obtain the Divine Heritages is precisely because of the foundation that the Immortal Plants provided for them.

A few days later, Gu Ziyi also received a letter from Bibi Dong, where she enthusiastically shared her joy of reaching the Soul Emperor level.

She also mentioned getting the Eight Spider Legs as her external soul bone.

She just kept hidden what her sixth soul skill does.

"Eight Spider Legs?"

"Silvio~"

"It seems that this Human Face Demon Spider really easily possesses external soul bones!"

Gu Ziyi was very surprised. He didn't expect that Bibi Dong would actually obtain the external soul bone from the Human Face Demon Spider that Tang San got in the original work.

This Human Face Demon Spider is indeed rich in possessing external soul bones!

"Practice, I need to practice!"

"I need to strive to surpass Level 56 as quickly as possible!"

"I said I wanted to surpass her in level, so I can't keep her waiting for too long!"

...
