First meeting with Bibi Dong

Half a year later,

Five years passed swiftly from the day he enrolled in the academy, marked by rigorous training, intense battles, and invaluable lessons. Today was the day Feng Xuan graduated from Nuoding Academy, his heart filled with a mix of excitement and nostalgia. The sun shone brightly, casting a golden hue over the academy grounds as students and teachers gathered for the graduation ceremony.

As the ceremony concluded, Feng Xuan bid farewell to his classmates, each one wishing him well on his journey. He exchanged a heartfelt hug with Xiao Wu, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. This is the first time he realizes that even though he wants to keep his distance from Xiao Wu, she has an irreplaceable place in his heart.

"Take care, Feng Xuan," she said softly. "Remember to visit us whenever you can."

She knew for some reason he had wanted to keep his distance from her from the first year but he had an aura that attracted her so she couldn't help but keep pestering him every time. This made her bond with him even stronger than Tang San.

"I will, Xiao Wu," he replied, his voice steady but tinged with emotion. "Thank you for everything."

Yu Xiao gang also approached him and asked, "Have you consider to become my student?"

He wanted a top-level martial spirit holder to become his discipline to prove his theory and Feng Xuan was the best candidate for it. Even though Tang san's talent is higher but his talent can only show at the latter stage due to the twin martial spirit. So, He kept asking Feng Xuan about being his pupil but he rejected every time.

"Now he asked him last time if he rejected him then I will show him through Tang San what he missed in the future. He will regret rejecting Me." thought Yu Xiao Gang.

"No, Senior. I had already told you that I have a master so I will not accept being your student." Said Feng Xuan.

"Hump. Tang San, come to my cabin I have to talk to you." Yu Xiao gang leaves in anger with Tang San.

"What a narrow-minded person." Thought Feng Xuan.

He then returns to the village where Yue Guan, the esteemed Elder of the Spirit Hall waiting for him. He had come personally to pick up Feng Xuan.

"Feng Xuan," Yue Guan called out, his voice echoing across the village. "It's time."

Feng Xuan nodded, giving one last wave to his grandpa jack before walking toward Yue Guan. The Elder placed a hand on his shoulder, a rare gesture of camaraderie.

"You've grown strong, young man," Yue Guan remarked as they walked. "The Pope is eager to meet you."

Feng Xuan's heart raced at the thought of meeting the Pope, the leader of the Spirit Hall. This is time to meet the main villain who is wrong by circumstance.

They left the village as they made their way to the awaiting carriage. The journey to the Spirit Hall was filled with silence, Yue Guan occasionally glancing at Feng Xuan, as if assessing the young man who had shown such promise.

Upon arriving at the grand hall of the Spirit Hall, Feng Xuan was awestruck by the sheer magnificence of the place. The towering structures, the intricate designs, and the palpable aura of power left him breathless.

Yue Guan led him through the corridors, finally stopping before a pair of massive doors. With a nod, he pushed them open, revealing the grand chamber within. At the far end, seated on a majestic throne, was the Pope.

Upon entering the grand chamber, Feng Xuan was greeted by the sight of Bibi Dong seated on her majestic throne. The room was adorned with intricate tapestries and symbols of power, reflecting the grandeur of the Spirit Hall. The Pope's presence was commanding, her eyes sharp and discerning as they fixed on Feng Xuan.

"Welcome, Feng Xuan," Bibi Dong's voice resonated through the hall, both commanding and soothing. "Step forward."

Feng Xuan approached, bowing deeply. "Thank you, Your Holiness. It is an honor to be here."

Bibi Dong studied him for a moment before speaking. "I have heard much about your progress at Nuoding Academy and the potential you have shown. Tell me, Feng Xuan, what do you seek to achieve within the Spirit Hall?"

Feng Xuan took a deep breath, steadying himself. "Your Holiness, I seek to grow stronger, to master my abilities. I want to make a difference, to protect and uphold the values of spirit master as well as commoners."

Bibi Dong nodded, a hint of satisfaction in her expression. "Your determination is commendable. However, strength alone is not enough. You must possess wisdom, loyalty, and the ability to make difficult decisions. Are you prepared for that?"

"I am, Your Holiness," Feng Xuan replied with conviction. "I have trained hard, honed my skills, and learned much about the importance of strategy and loyalty. I am ready to face whatever challenges come my way."

The Pope's gaze softened slightly. "Let me see your martial soul."

Feng Xuan summons his bow, Vijaya. Bibi Dong carefully examined martial soul, after a brief examination she said "Do you want to become my discipline in a name? I want you to become my permanent discipline but I already have discipline so you can become my discipline in name. What do you think? "

This is not a normal top-level martial soul it's aura is on par with God level martial soul I needed to take him under me." Thought Bibi dong.

"I will not take a master other than Shivarjuna but I can take a master in the name. Also, with the protection of Bibi dong, I can grow without worry." Think Feng Xuan.

Feng Xuan nodded. "Yes, discipline greet master."

Bibi Dong leaned back, considering his words. "Good discipline, Your path is different from mine so I can't teach you regarding your martial spirit bow but I have knowledge of spirit master and formation to use in team fights which I will teach you."

Then she takes out a ring which is a storage-type soul guide and gives it to Feng Xuan.

"Take it. This is my gift to you. This is a storage type soul guide which can store non-living things and its space is also large." Said Bibi Dong.

"Yes, thank you," Feng Xuan responded. He takes the Ring and wears it.

Bibi Dong added. "And what of your future goals? How do you plan to continue your growth?"

Feng Xuan paused for a moment, reflecting on his journey. "I plan to continue my training, to push my limits, and to seek out opportunities. I believe that with dedication and perseverance, I can achieve great things."

Bibi Dong's eyes gleamed with approval. "Very well, Feng Xuan. I see great potential in you. Remember, the path ahead will not be easy, but with your determination and the support of the Spirit Hall, you can achieve greatness. For now, rest and prepare yourself. We will have much to discuss in the days to come."

Feng Xuan bowed deeply once more. "Thank you, I will not disappoint you."

As Yue Guan led Feng Xuan out of the chamber, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. He needed backup which could help him until his growth and spirit hall was the only thing he could rely on.

As he settled into his new quarters, he reflected on his journey so far. Xiao Wu's parting words echoed in his mind, a reminder of the bonds he had forged. He knew that despite the distance, their friendship would endure. He also thinks about a beautiful figure in black.

He snapped out of it and said to himself "Now is not time for the relationship. I have yet to become stronger to help them. I need to focus on becoming stronger."
