Chapter 177: Get Dressed Before You Speak

Su Cheng's original plan was to go directly to the Martial Soul Hall and reveal his identity to Qian Daoliu.

With his age and the seventh soul ring configuration of a hundred thousand years, this shouldn't be difficult.

Based on Qian Daoliu's temperament, knowing that he was a disciple of Bo Saixi, he would definitely not neglect him.

Then, based on this foundation, he would use Qian Xunji to a certain extent and leverage the power of the Martial Soul Hall to enhance himself, while further studying souls.

As for Bibi Dong, she shouldn't have the chance to come into contact with him, before Qian Xunji perishes.

The identity and talent he displayed clearly weren't as harmless as Yu Xiaogang.

Qian Xunji, that lunatic, regarded his disciple as taboo and would definitely be on guard against any contact between the two.

Su Cheng planned to wait quietly for the situation to develop and then find a way to help her achieve the position of God of Carnage after Bibi Dong came into contact with the inheritance of the Rakshasa God, acting as a future helper.

However, this plan obviously had great uncertainty.

Bibi Dong herself was too paranoid, her thoughts extreme, and she had a deep-rooted love brain. In addition, inheriting the position of Rakshasa God would further corrupt her sanity. When that time comes, he also wasn't completely sure he could control her, and he might even suffer backlash.

Since there was an opportunity now, it seemed unreasonable not to make contact.

If it didn't work, he could still use the previous plan without any impact.

After all, Bibi Dong's talent was just too good for Su Cheng to abandon. In his mind, the other party would be a key figure in the future decisive battle.

Whether divine assistance is necessary to resist the Sea God Island, as long as there is a ninety-ninth level transcendent Douluo, it can restrain Bo Saixi.

However, Su Cheng couldn't cultivate someone of that level.

Using Immortal Grass, using the Nirvana Scripture, using his existing methods, he could help someone with average talent to cultivate to the limit of an ordinary titled Douluo, but it was limited to ordinary titled Douluo.

Above level ninety-five, he couldn't do it at all. That required talent, insight into one's own martial soul, and a lot of time.

Not to mention he couldn't help others break through, even he himself didn't know how to cultivate without relying on the talent of the Twin Martial Soul until he reached that bottleneck.

Of course, in terms of combat power, Su Cheng was confident that he could match a transcendent Douluo after level ninety.

Now that his research on souls has begun to take shape, the use of various powers is also handy, not to mention his self-created martial soul skills.

He had a feeling that when the power of Qi, spirit, and soul fully condensed in the future, there would be a deeper qualitative change.

Bibi Dong was a little panicked at the moment.

Originally, her purpose in coming to the Star Dou Forest today was to hunt soul beasts to upgrade to Soul Emperor.

Accompanying her were two trusted elders of her teacher Qian Xunji, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

However, half a day ago, their group was attacked by a powerful group of soul beasts.

To ensure her safety, the two Titled Douluo immediately chose to take action to lure away the soul beast group.

Realizing that staying there would be of no help and would only be a burden, Bibi Dong decisively withdrew, intending to come back to hunt soul beasts another day.

In this way, even if the two of them couldn't win, it would be absolutely no problem to retreat.

However, things didn't go as planned. On the way back, she encountered a highly aggressive and powerful Abyssal Spider.

This type of soul beast was originally one of her target soul beasts to obtain soul rings.

But the problem was that the level of this Abyssal Spider in front of her was too high, with a cultivation base of over thirty thousand years.

If it was a twenty-thousand-year-level Abyssal Spider, she still had confidence to cope with it. But at this moment, she didn't dare to hope to escape. All she could do was to try her best to delay time and wait for rescue.

Her soul skills used on the opponent were almost ineffective.

Her fourth soul skill, Thorny Spider Armor, covered her entire body with purplish-black long thorns, each nearly half a meter long. The tips of the long thorns glowed with a faint light, indicating the presence of potent poison.

But unfortunately, this potent poison couldn't pose any threat to the Abyssal Spider.

Spider-type soul beasts themselves have strong poison resistance, and this Abyssal Spider with a cultivation base of over thirty thousand years had even more astonishing poison dissolving ability.

Its pitch-black carapace shimmered with gray patterns, and its abdomen was extremely swollen, storing a large amount of silk and energy. The small eyes shimmering with a faint blue light stared closely at Bi Bi Dong in front of it, easily blocking the scythe attacks summoned by her fifth soul skill.

Seeing this scene, Bi Bi Dong couldn't help but grit her teeth. Her two strongest soul skills were ineffective, and she had lost the desire to defeat the opponent. At this moment, all she thought about was how to preserve her soul power as much as possible and not die here before the arrival of the two elders.

Fortunately, even though she was wearing heavy armor, her speed was not affected at all. Her slender figure constantly dodged and jumped, avoiding the crystal-yellow spider silk flying through the air.

Obviously, Bi Bi Dong was not a delicate flower sheltered in a greenhouse.

Although she held the title of Saintess, under the strict requirements of the Martial Soul Hall, both in cultivation and actual combat, she far surpassed ordinary soul masters.

Even when facing a terrifying opponent far stronger than herself, she could still maintain her composure in battle.

However, guarding for too long would eventually lead to loss, and the gap in strength between the two sides was not so easily bridged.

The next moment, Bibi Dong looked up in horror as a giant crystal-yellow spider web descended from the sky.

The Abyssal Spider's ultimate technique, Spiderweb Prison!

Looking around, the forest had already been entangled and surrounded by numerous spider silks crisscrossing between the trees.

At this moment, she had no way out!

The Abyssal Spider's eyes flickered with cunning light.

As a predator, the Abyssal Spider naturally had its own combat intelligence.

All these changes happened in an instant, almost instantaneously.

Before Bibi Dong could react, the crisis that had almost cost her life had been instantly resolved.

Coupled with their fighting instincts and innate skills, they are by no means weaker than humans with the same soul power. Additionally, Bibi Dong's aura is noticeably distinct from theirs at this moment.

In the previous battle, the Abyssal Spider had already discerned the opponent's intentions.

As a predator, the Abyssal Spider naturally possesses its own combat wisdom.

In addition to its offensive capabilities, the spider silk it spewed out earlier can gradually construct a tight blockade around its prey.

When the massive spider web descended from the sky, Bibi Dong found herself completely trapped by this terrifying soul beast.

"Swish—"

Accompanied by the sharp sound of slicing through the air, a blue sword light slashed forth.

The sturdy crystal yellow spider web instantly shattered into countless fragments, scattering in all directions.

This unique skill, developed by a 30,000-year-old Abyssal spider, proved as ineffective as a cobweb in the face of the razor-sharp sword light.

Simultaneously, immense pressure akin to a tidal wave from the depths of the sea surged forth, pinning the Abyssal Spider's massive body to the ground like a fish on a cutting board, rendering it immobile.

It's not that the spider reacted slowly. In fact, the moment the sword light appeared, it reacted and attempted to eject and flee.

But it was futile.

The gap in strength between them was too vast.

At this moment, the potent sea-blue aura solidified, firmly enveloping the Abyssal Spider's entire body.

Despite its eight legs straining and leaving countless deep marks on the ground, they had no effect whatsoever.

Though these changes may seem protracted, they actually transpired in the blink of an eye.

Before Bibi Dong could react, the imminent threat to her life had been instantaneously neutralized.

The formidable predator that had nearly claimed her life moments ago was now restrained, emitting only sharp and piercing screams.

She gazed blankly at the figure before her, her mind reeling, unable to comprehend what had just transpired.

"Are you okay?" It wasn't until the composed voice of the man sounded that she snapped out of her daze.

She quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, senior, for saving me."

The voice was soft and melodious, akin to the song of an oriole, incredibly pleasing to the ear.

As Bibi Dong looked at the man, she felt gratitude but also harbored doubts in her heart.

The individual before her was dressed in blue attire, sporting short hair, and his face concealed behind a silver mask, making his specific appearance indiscernible.

This person was not an elder of the Martial Soul Hall, and his attire didn't match that of the Martial Soul Hall.

The seven soul rings beneath his feet indicated his cultivation strength at the level of a Soul Saint.

The crimson seventh soul ring gleamed particularly brightly.

The mask on his face was used to conceal his identity just in case.

Since he had decided to make a move now, he would inevitably have more contact with Bibi Dong in the future.

Based on past simulations, he couldn't be sure whether Bibi Dong would retain her memory. If she did, how much content she would remember.

In the first simulation, the one he spent the most time with was undoubtedly Qian Renxue.

Apart from Qian Renxue, there was also Chen Xin, whom he spent more than ten years with.

The former retained all the memories related to him, while the latter frankly admitted that he had some impression of him.

Except for these two, the next ones he spent more time with were Yue Guan and Dugu Bo, but they obviously didn't recognize themselves.

Especially Dugu Bo, the two of them are already very familiar with each other in reality now. If the other party remembers anything, they will definitely not hide it.

In the second simulation, undoubtedly, Zhu Zhuqing is the only one who currently has memories.

However, he has only interacted with this person in reality.

In this simulation, it is Bo Saixi and Luo Leilei, but he is not too worried about Bo Saixi.

After returning to the real world, the two of them are far apart, and the other party doesn't know that he exists, naturally there will be no future trouble.

But Bibi Dong is different. Whether it will reflect reality or prevent it.

Otherwise, when this simulation is over, if Bibi Dong remembers one or two things, who knows what the consequences will be.

The memories in the simulation are not as simple as ordinary dreams.

In Qian Renxue's words, it's like living another brand-new life, no different from the real past, all emotions and memories deeply imprinted in the depths of the mind.

Bibi Dong in reality is not as harmless as the young girl in front of him, she is a madwoman.

Although Su Cheng is not afraid of her, she is after all the mother of Qian Renxue, and there is no need to make the relationship tense.

Thinking about it, Su Cheng didn't show any unusual behavior on the surface, calmly said: "There's no need to call me senior anymore, we're about the same age. My name is Cheng Xue, just call me by my name."

"Cheng Xue?" Bi Bi Dong repeated silently, feeling that this name seemed a bit feminine.

As for saying that they are about the same age, she didn't believe it much.

Although she is not arrogant, she has a good understanding of her own talent. Even if this person is not a senior, he should be much older than herself, and his strength is so powerful, he should still have the respect he deserves.

Quietly assessing the young Bibi Dong in front of him, Su Cheng also felt some emotion in his heart.

Her appearance is not much different from that of the future female pope, who is above ten thousand people, just a little more immature.

But the temperament of the two is completely different.

Perhaps because she has never ruled, and she is also a commoner, she doesn't have the noble and arrogant aura.

If you remove the identity of the Saintess, she looks like just an ordinary genius soul master.

This is completely different from Bibi Dong.

At the same age, Qian Renxue had long had an attitude of looking down on others.

Even the friendliness displayed when pretending to be Xue Qinghe was just a disguise, but she never really looked at anyone.

Qian Renxue undoubtedly inherited many of Bibi Dong's facial features, but she also inherited many of the innate nobility and majesty of the Angel Clan descendants. In addition, she has now awakened another soul, adding another layer of evil aura, which is incomparable to Bibi Dong today.

If you have to describe it, Bibi Dong's current temperament is somewhat similar to Hu Liena, but without that charm, she looks more gentle and soft.

Of course, all this is just appearance.

Su Cheng knows that the wildness and madness that sleep in the heart of this woman, what kind of wildness and madness are they?

The two spider-type martial souls she awakened may be some kind of omen.

But the will is still buried deep in her heart, not yet awake and transformed.

"Are you from the Martial Soul Hall?" Su Cheng looked at Bibi Dong and asked casually.

Bibi Dong was taken aback when she heard the words, and a hint of alertness flashed in her eyes as she looked at him.

Although the Martial Soul Hall is now the number one power on the Douluo Continent, it is not without enemies, and many Soul Masters consider it a thorn in their side, including some powerful individuals.

"No need to be so vigilant, I have no ill intentions towards you," Su Cheng said lightly, glancing at the Abyssal Spider currently suppressed on the ground, "If I wanted to harm you, I would just watch you be killed by that thing. Besides, do you think you would be my opponent?"

"How do you know I am from the Martial Soul Hall?" Bibi Dong's heart relaxed a little, and she asked softly.

"I see that you are not very old, but you are already close to the level of a Soul Emperor. Apart from the Martial Soul Hall, I can't think of any power on the continent that can cultivate such a young Soul Master like you," Su Cheng replied.

Hearing this analysis, Bibi Dong felt surprised. She didn't expect the person in front of her to be so intelligent, able to deduce so much in an instant.

Su Cheng could roughly guess what she was thinking from her eyes, feeling a bit speechless in his heart. Was it so uncommon for people she had met before to be intelligent?

Now that Bibi Dong is so naive, didn't she encounter anyone stupid before?

"Your soul rings...?" Bibi Dong hesitated for a moment, then looked at the crimson light under Su Cheng's feet, wanting to say something but stopped.

At the moment Su Cheng appeared, the powerful aura made her almost mistake him for a Titled Douluo. But she didn't expect him to just be a Soul Saint with a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

A hundred-thousand-year seventh soul ring is precious, but Su Cheng understands a thing or two about the Martial Soul Hall, and there have been people who have obtained it.

But a seventh soul ring of hundred thousand years, she had never seen or even heard of it.

Even with the foundation of the Martial Soul Hall, there was no similar record in its collection of books.

Looking at the masked man in front of her, Bibi Dong became more curious and couldn't help but probe with her spiritual power to see his true face.

Her actions were immediately sensed by Su Cheng.

With his level of spiritual power, under the blessing of soul power, even ordinary peak Douluo wouldn't be able to see through his disguise.

In the Martial Soul Hall, apart from Qian Daoliu, perhaps Golden Crocodile Douluo might be able to see through a few things.

"Is this how people from your Martial Soul Hall show courtesy?" Su Cheng's voice turned cold, "Directly using spiritual power to probe others?"

Bibi Dong's body stiffened when she heard this, feeling a little embarrassed. She also felt that her behavior just now was inappropriate.

She quickly bowed her head and apologized, "I'm sorry, I was impulsive."

As she spoke, her pretty face blushed slightly.

Seeing this, Su Cheng was somewhat surprised as he glanced at her.

The Bibi Dong in front of him was completely different from the person he remembered.

As a saintess of the Martial Soul Hall, she didn't have any airs, let alone a superior attitude, and she admitted her mistakes very naturally.

Of course, perhaps it was also related to the strength he just displayed. But that shy expression seemed a bit out of place on her.

At this moment, Bibi Dong spoke again with curiosity, "Why are you wearing a mask?"

"My appearance is ugly, I'm afraid of scaring others, so I don't show my true face," Su Cheng said casually.

Then he looked at the Abyssal Spider struggling not far away and said, "If you don't kill it, I'll let it go."

Su Cheng glanced at the Abyssal Spider nearby and decided not to kill it, as it would be a waste of the soul ring. Instead, he prepared to release it.

Feeling grateful, Bibi Dong shook her head with regret, "That thirty-thousand-year-old Abyssal Spider has exceeded the limit of the age I can absorb."

Hearing this, Su Cheng turned his head and assessed Bi Bi Dong for a moment.

Under his gaze, Bi Bi Dong felt as if she had been seen through, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, and shifted her body slightly.

"If you can hold on, there is a chance to absorb this soul ring. It depends on whether you have the determination to become stronger," Su Cheng said calmly after assessing her for a moment.

If she was willing to absorb it, she would absorb it; if she didn't want to take the risk, that was fine too. After all, it was just a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

Even if there's a second martial soul as a backup, there won't be much difference in achievement in the future.

Even Su Cheng wasn't surprised by her giving up at this moment.

Bibi Dong hasn't completely awakened her true personality yet, and she has always been protected by the Martial Soul Hall under the identity of the saintess, so she seems a bit softer.

"Then I will let it go."

"Wait a moment." At this moment, Bibidong suddenly spoke up, his expression becoming firm. "I want to give it a try."

Su Cheng was initially surprised but didn't dissuade him. He casually slashed out with his sword, and the poor abyssal spider was immediately on the brink of death.

It seemed that although Bibidong was still inexperienced in the world, the Martial Soul Hall was quite professional in cultivating soul masters. Her character wasn't weak; she was just blank when it came to interacting with others.

In other aspects, whether in battle or cultivation, she was worthy of her identity as the Holy Maiden of the Martial Soul Hall.

A dense purple-black light completely enveloped Bibi Dong's body, emitting a powerful soul power fluctuation.

At this moment, she keenly felt a surge of heat rushing into her body, burning her like scorching flames.

Soul beasts of the spider type generally had sinister and domineering soul powers, and this highly cultivated abyssal spider was no exception.

The moment the soul ring entered Bibi Dong's body, it began forcefully reshaping her body.

At the same time, there were also powerful grievances and soul fragments relentlessly impacting her spiritual sea and soul.

Under this powerful dual assault, Bibi Dong felt like her body was about to burst open. The intense pain made her vomit blood directly, and tiny beads of blood began to ooze from her skin.

Soon, sitting cross-legged and absorbing the soul ring, Bibi Dong could no longer be seen; her whole body was shrouded in a faint red mist.

The red in the mist was not the light of soul power but her own blood vaporizing into the air along with soul power.

Bibi Dong's delicate brows furrowed tightly, her lips pressed tightly together, and her body spasmed uncontrollably.

The intense pain surged like a tidal wave, endlessly assaulting her. It felt as if her skin was being cut by countless blades, and the powerful energy kept tearing her body apart, almost drowning her in agony.

If this continued, she might ultimately face two outcomes: her soul scattered by grievances, turning her into a fool, or her will unable to withstand the pain, leading to the breakdown of her flesh.

"Calm your mind, focus."

Just as Bibi Dong felt a bit of regret and panic, a calm voice suddenly echoed in her mind.

This voice seemed to bypass her ears and resonate directly in the depths of her soul, instantly soothing her and calming her mind like a still oil well.

Although enduring incomparable pain, a voice kept resonating in her heart, comforting her spirit.

Under the solace of this voice, Bibi Dong managed to withstand wave after wave of pain, continuously resisting the overpowering energy of the abyssal spider soul ring that exceeded her limits.

And in each resistance, the energy contained in the soul ring was gradually absorbed bit by bit by her body.

With this give-and-take, the overbearing energy of the sinister and ruthless abyssal spider was also gradually weakened.

The bones in Bibi Dong's body began to emit dense cracking sounds, and a layer of gray gradually appeared on the surface of her skin from the tiny blood beads.

This was the marrow-cleansing and bone-refining brought about by absorbing a soul ring that surpassed the limits of the flesh, strengthening her physique.

Gradually, the tiny blood beads stopped oozing from Bibi Dong's skin, and her tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

Then, a faint deep purple light began to emit from her body.

The abyssal spider soul ring was officially integrated into the Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul.

Feeling the her stabilized breath, Su Cheng couldn't help but nod secretly, sighing at Bibi Dong's remarkable talent.

Even without the enhancement of flesh, she still completed this absorption.

Although his hypnosis played a significant role, Bibi Dong's own twin martial souls' extraordinary talent was not to be underestimated.

Of course, even if Bibi Dong couldn't absorb it, Su Cheng wouldn't just sit by and watch her die; he had ways to save her life.

But if he could avoid using those methods, it would be better.

Accompanied by the appearance of the deep purple light, the gigantic Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul also revealed itself. Its eight long legs tightly enveloped Bibi Dong, like a cocoon.

Within this cocoon, her aura was constantly strengthening, and her whole person was undergoing rapid transformation.

Time passed slowly.

"Mm..."

An hour later, a slight groan sounded.

Su Cheng quickly turned his head to look and saw the Death Spider Queen Martial Soul naturally straightening its long legs, revealing the alluring figure that had been wrapped inside.

Her body was covered in bloodstains and her clothes had long merged into a dark grime, forming a dark crust.

As she moved slightly, the layer of grime fell off her body like shedding fruit peel, revealing her delicate and translucent body, akin to a lychee.

Her jet-black hair was tangled into strands due to sweat, scattered messily on Bibidong's fair cheeks and delicate collarbones.

The well-proportioned figure was so exquisite that even the top sculptors would struggle to capture its allure.

The plump and full bosom stood proudly, defying the pull of gravity.

Two bright red spots on the snow-capped peaks were extremely dazzling, even more so than the colors of a hunderd-thousand-year soul ring.

Because she was sitting cross-legged, even the pink valley below was clearly visible.

Seeing this picturesque scene, Su Cheng silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva, quickly averted his gaze, and cleared his throat.

Bibi Dong, as if awakening from a dream, opened her eyes in astonishment. "Did I succeed?"

Before this, she had almost thought she was doomed.

But the voice in her heart kept pulling her back from the edge of the abyss time and time again.

After a moment, Bibi Dong, still somewhat dazed, gradually came to her senses and looked at Su Cheng earnestly. "Thank you."

The voice that had been etched into her heart was no different from the one she heard when speaking to him.

Although she didn't understand how he did it, it was evident that her success in absorbing the soul ring that exceeded her limits this time depended entirely on the help of the person in front of her.

Controlling his mind, Su Cheng didn't turn around but said in a deep voice, "You should put on your clothes before speaking."

At this moment, Bibi Dong realized that she was sitting naked on the ground.

Letting out a short scream, she quickly took out her clothes from the soul tool and put them on.

After tidying up, she stood up, her head almost buried in her chest, her face so red it seemed like blood would drip from it.

Stammering, she said, "You..."

Since Cheng Xue reminded her to put on her clothes, it was clear that he had thoroughly seen her.

But upon reflection, it seemed unfair to blame him.

For a moment, an awkward atmosphere pervaded the forest.
