Chapter 130: The Meeting of Two Bibi Dongs
Bibi Dong's delighted cheers echoed as she stood beside Su Mo, celebrating his achievement.
"Yes!"
Hearing her response, Su Mo nodded, then focused his consciousness to enter the Martial Soul Space.
Inside the Rakshasa Domain, Su Mo soon saw Bibi Dong's body lying dormant in the blood pool, radiating an overwhelming and powerful aura.
"Su Mo, I'm returning to my original body!"
The spiritual form of Bibi Dong informed him before her figure flickered and dove into the blood pool. Her spiritual form merged seamlessly with the body within, combining into one.
Buzz—
The next moment, Bibi Dong opened her eyes within the blood pool. Her pupils glowed crimson, exuding a sinister and malevolent energy.
An overwhelming aura of evil erupted from her body, saturating the entire Rakshasa Domain.
Under the influence of this aura, Su Mo felt a surge of negative emotions within himself.
Rage, irritability, murderous intent—all began to rise uncontrollably.
"Hmph!"
With a cold grunt, Su Mo forced himself to calm down, resisting the oppressive influence of the negative emotions.
Fortunately, his mental strength had recently increased significantly. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to fend off the aura so easily.
As Bibi Dong rose from the blood pool, the oppressive evil energy around them began to dissipate, and the negative emotions within Su Mo also faded.
Seeing Bibi Dong now, Su Mo immediately understood—she had awakened.
Without hesitation, Su Mo withdrew his consciousness from the Martial Soul Space and returned to his body.
"Come forth, my Rakshasa God Martial Soul!"
As his consciousness returned, Su Mo's eyes sparkled with determination. With a soft murmur, he summoned Bibi Dong from the Martial Soul Space.
Buzz—
Bibi Dong materialized beside Su Mo, not as a spiritual projection but in her full martial soul form.
"I'm finally free!"
Upon emerging, Bibi Dong was overjoyed. She realized she could now physically interact with the outside world, no longer a mere intangible spirit.
Stomping her foot, she felt the solid ground beneath her. The tactile sensation confirmed her newfound physical presence and ability to engage with her surroundings.
Su Mo carefully observed Bibi Dong. After sensing that he could still fully control her form, he finally relaxed.
Ensuring he maintained control over her martial soul was his first priority.
"Rakshasa Sister, are you in martial soul form or true body form right now?"
Su Mo asked after his initial observation.
He had already noticed something unusual. Bibi Dong appeared to exist in a tangible, physical form, much like a true martial soul avatar.
However, Su Mo had not yet added a seventh soul ring to her. Without it, even at the Soul Saint level, it should have been impossible to summon a martial soul avatar.
"This... How could it be? This is my true form!"
Bibi Dong initially didn't realize it either. Only after hearing Su Mo's question did she notice her true body had emerged, leaving her astonished.
"Rakshasa Sister..."
As Su Mo used his perception to analyze her state, he quickly understood the situation.
Bibi Dong's current form was akin to a materialized martial soul, much like Yu Xiaogang's Luo San Pao.
Su Mo hesitated whether to tell her this comparison. In the end, he decided against it. It was enough for Bibi Dong to know she could manifest physically.
"Rakshasa Sister, shall we try spirit possession now?"
Changing the topic, Su Mo proposed testing their compatibility further.
Despite her materialized form resembling a tool martial soul, Bibi Dong was still classified as a beast martial soul. Su Mo wanted to see if spirit possession was possible.
"Alright!"
Bibi Dong nodded without hesitation. She had already prepared herself for such a scenario after becoming Su Mo's martial soul.
"Martial Soul Possession!"
With a thought, Su Mo activated the skill.
Buzz—
Bibi Dong's figure vanished, reappearing as a shadow enveloping Su Mo, merging with him in the same way as any other beast martial soul.
The possession granted Su Mo significant enhancements. All his attacks now carried an intense corrosive effect, a hallmark of the Rakshasa God's power.
Even more astonishing was the discovery that Su Mo could simultaneously use his other martial soul, the Hunting Soul Spear, while in possession of the Rakshasa God.
"I can use two martial souls simultaneously? How is this possible…"
Su Mo was taken aback, marveling at the unprecedented ability. The potential for this newfound power was limitless.
Even Bibi Dong was stunned when she saw Su Mo effortlessly using two martial souls simultaneously.
Even for her, it had taken considerable time and effort to master the seamless transition between her twin martial souls. She had learned how to switch directly from the Death Spider Emperor to the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor without needing to retract one before activating the other.
But Su Mo?
He hadn't even needed practice. He could simply use both martial souls at the same time.
She had been planning to teach Su Mo how to transition between two martial souls seamlessly, but now it seemed unnecessary.
"It might be because one of my martial souls is a tool martial soul, and the other isn't," Su Mo speculated. "That could explain why I can use them simultaneously."
"That must be it!"
Bibi Dong nodded, a hint of envy flashing across her face.
Honestly, she was jealous of Su Mo. The ability to use two martial souls at once was unbelievably powerful.
It was practically the equivalent of him using a martial soul fusion skill on his own.
"As strong as it is, it's also very soul-power intensive," Su Mo said with a wry smile, pointing out the one drawback.
Bibi Dong gave him a side-eye.
If she were familiar with the term "humblebrag," she would have accused Su Mo of doing exactly that.
"What's your current soul power level?" Bibi Dong asked, turning her attention to another topic.
"I've gained two levels!"
Su Mo nodded. "I'm at level 47 now. I also noticed that my cultivation talent is evolving, probably because of your awakening, Rakshasa Sister."
His recent increase in soul power wasn't solely due to Bibi Dong's awakening, however.
It was mainly the result of his Eight Spider Lances absorbing an abundance of celestial and medicinal herbs, which had significantly enhanced his cultivation.
Still, after Bibi Dong's awakening, Su Mo had also felt his cultivation aptitude improving steadily.
This was one of the benefits of awakening a divine martial soul. Over time, it would enhance his innate talent for cultivation. Su Mo didn't know how far it would go, but he was certain it would surpass innate full soul power eventually, allowing him to cultivate at an even faster rate.
"This transformation is gradual," Su Mo explained. "It's not instantaneous, but once it's complete, my cultivation speed will be far beyond normal expectations."
"Rakshasa Sister, can you take a look at my Eight Spider Lances now and tell me what level they've reached?"
Without waiting for a response, Su Mo summoned his Eight Spider Lances in front of Bibi Dong.
Puff, puff, puff—
The transformed Eight Spider Lances materialized behind Su Mo, catching Bibi Dong's attention immediately.
"This is…"
Bibi Dong's eyes widened as she stared at the Eight Spider Lances, unable to hide her shock.
The Eight Spider Lances behind Su Mo had undergone a complete transformation. They no longer resembled the spider legs they had been before; in fact, they looked nothing like their original form.
What now appeared behind Su Mo were eight floating spears.
Yes, after absorbing countless celestial and medicinal herbs, the Eight Spider Lances had shed their previous form entirely.
Each lance no longer needed to be physically connected to Su Mo's back. Instead, they hovered independently behind him.
Though they still appeared as a unified whole, the lances could now separate and operate individually.
"This is the evolved form of the Eight Spider Lances," Su Mo explained, manipulating the lances with ease. "They can retain their original jointed flexibility or straighten into spears."
With a few movements from Su Mo, the Eight Spider Lances demonstrated their versatility.
Click, click—
The lances shifted seamlessly between their spear-like form and their original jointed spider-leg structure. They could bend and move fluidly or straighten into long spears, truly living up to the name Eight Spider Lances.
"They've not only evolved but also retained their original versatility. It's incredible!" Bibi Dong remarked, her admiration clear.
The evolved Eight Spider Lances resembled Su Mo's Hunting Soul Spear in style and color, now appearing gold-red rather than their previous green hue. This change had occurred after they absorbed the venom of Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor, transforming from a jade green to their current state.
However, Su Mo didn't care about their appearance. What truly mattered to him was their enhanced quality.
Each lance now surpassed the strength of his Hunting Soul Spear, even outperforming the meteorite-forged spear he had acquired earlier.
"They're incredibly powerful, absolutely top-tier!"
"Your Eight Spider Lances have almost evolved to their peak. Each one is of the highest quality," Bibi Dong said, both surprised and delighted. "If they evolve one more time, they might truly become divine weapons."
Bibi Dong marveled at the lances' transformation, shocked that they had reached such a level after absorbing the celestial and medicinal herbs. Upon reflection, however, it made sense. Those herbs had the power to restore her martial soul to a true divine level.
If all the energy had been absorbed solely by the Eight Spider Lances, they might have already become divine artifacts.
"With your current Eight Spider Lances, entering the Slaughter City now would make achieving a hundred consecutive victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena a breeze," Bibi Dong remarked, naturally linking Su Mo's new power to the infamous Slaughter City.
"Hmm. I'll consider going after resolving the crisis facing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan," Su Mo replied with a nod.
Previously, Su Mo hadn't been confident enough to tackle the Slaughter City. But now, with the evolution of the Eight Spider Lances and the awakening of his second martial soul, he was certain he could achieve victory.
Even without using soul skills, the combined power of his two martial souls and the Eight Spider Lances was enough to crush most Soul Kings with ease.
In the Slaughter City, where soul skills were forbidden, even Titled Douluo had limited combat strength. Su Mo's physical prowess alone made him a formidable opponent.
"All I need to do now is find Xiao Xue. Once I tell her the truth, we can resolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's crisis," Su Mo said.
"Are we going to find Xiao Xue right now?"
Hearing this, Bibi Dong's excitement was evident. She had long wanted to reunite with Qian Renxue, a plan she had discussed with Su Mo previously.
Just as Su Mo was about to answer, his expression changed abruptly.
"What's happening?"
Su Mo sensed a disturbance within his Martial Soul Space and immediately sat cross-legged, focusing his consciousness to investigate.
Upon entering the space, he discovered the blood-colored mist that usually concealed the Rakshasa Domain was now flying chaotically through his Martial Soul Space.
"What's going on?"
Bibi Dong, following him into the space, frowned at the unusual sight.
Whoosh—
Without hesitation, her figure flickered and merged with the blood-colored mist.
Buzz—
The mist pierced through Su Mo's Martial Soul Space and disappeared entirely—along with Bibi Dong.
"What's happening?"
Su Mo's expression darkened. He quickly tried to sense Bibi Dong's presence and sighed in relief upon confirming he could still summon her back.
However, instead of immediately summoning her, Su Mo activated his shared vision ability to observe Bibi Dong's current state.
What he saw left him stunned.
Through Bibi Dong's perspective, he saw another figure—another Bibi Dong.
Su Mo quickly realized this new Bibi Dong wasn't his second martial soul. She had no connection or resonance with him.
"Could that be the Pope, Bibi Dong?"
Su Mo hesitantly guessed, piecing together the clues.
The attire on this new Bibi Dong was unmistakable—it was the ceremonial robe of the Spirit Hall's Supreme Pontiff.
But how could this be?
Two Bibi Dongs appearing simultaneously? How could such an improbable event occur?
Su Mo faced a dilemma. Should he summon Bibi Dong back immediately, or wait to see what would happen next?
