Doulou Dalu 46

"Death Spider Bone..."

Four white bone spurs emerged from Bibi Dong's right arm. This time, she only used four, each one attached like a deadly scythe—elegant yet terrifying.

With a swift motion, Bibi Dong raised her arm, intercepting and neutralizing the most powerful soul skills of the two soul masters standing before her.

The two Wolf Warriors from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had their attack power boosted by 20% thanks to the sect's support system. Yet, the moment their enhanced attacks struck Bibi Dong's bone spurs, an immense recoil forced them backward. Instinctively, they retreated.

But Bibi Dong had no intention of prolonging the battle. With a single swing, her bone spur cut through the air like a scythe through wheat. A sharp, wet sound followed, accompanied by a spray of blood.

The two wolf soul masters screamed as they were thrown out of the arena. One had lost his claws, the other, several fingers.

The very soul techniques they had just used—Wolf Shadow Fist and Tearing Wolf Claws—were now useless. Their hands, their primary weapons, had been crippled.

The remaining auxiliary soul master trembled in fear. Without hesitation, he turned and fled off the stage.

Bibi Dong did not bother chasing him. She simply stood there, cold and unmoved, at the center of the arena.

A young woman on the floating platform quickly announced, "The Spirit Hall is victorious against the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect! The Spirit Saint has won five consecutive battles this year. If anyone hopes to defeat her, the upcoming challengers will need to step up their game!"

As the announcement echoed through the arena, the battlefield was cleared. Bibi Dong stepped off the stage, her beauty, strength, and ruthless decisiveness drawing cheers from the audience. The disciples of various sects erupted in admiration.

No one thought her actions were cruel. In the elite competition, mercy was rare. Had she failed to block those attacks, she could have been the one to fall.

VIP Seating

From the VIP section, Lin Fan observed Bibi Dong closely. As soon as she left the stage, she was escorted away by two Spirit Hall elders and Ju Douluo.

Lin Fan frowned. As expected, Qian Xunji had placed guards on her. With two Soul Douluo-level elders and Ju Douluo watching her every move, escape was nearly impossible.

As the day's matches concluded, Bibi Dong did not return to the VIP seating area. Lin Fan was about to leave when a familiar voice rang in his mind.

"Ding! Congratulations, Master, on completing a hidden mission! You have once again encountered the goddess. You now have a chance to draw a lottery. You currently have three chances in total. Would you like to use one now?"

Lin Fan's eyes widened. Every time he met Bibi Dong, the system granted him a lottery draw.

The first time was when he saved her in the secret chamber. The second time was in the Star Dou Forest, which had granted him two extra draws.

But this time, only one draw was awarded.

Did this mean that only Bibi Dong counted as a true "goddess"? Were no other girls recognized by the system?

Confused, Lin Fan asked in his mind, "Are all my hidden missions linked to Bibi Dong? Or are there others? If I can only gain rewards this way, won't my progress slow down?"

The system's voice, Ling'er, responded sweetly, "She is the first heroine chosen by the system, so in the early stages, most hidden missions revolve around her. However, other hidden missions will appear in time. Unfortunately, I can't reveal their content. You must complete them without prior knowledge to earn rewards."

Lin Fan sighed. "So I have to guess my own missions?"

It was frustrating, but he decided to focus on his immediate gains. He still had three lottery draws, and he figured he might as well use one.

"Ling'er, start the lottery!"

"Understood, Master. The lottery system is activating… Are you sure you want to proceed?"

"Yes! Start!"

The system's wheel spun rapidly, displaying a variety of skills, equipment, and mysterious items. Some he recognized from games, others were completely unfamiliar.

"Ding! Congratulations, Master! You have acquired the permanent skill: 'Sky Eye – Eye of Origin'! Master, you are very lucky! This is an incredibly powerful ability!"

Lin Fan's heart raced. "Sky Eye – Eye of Origin? What kind of skill is this?"

As a gamer, he recognized hero skills but not their names. He quickly checked the description:

Sky Eye – Eye of Origin (Enhanced Version)

Activating the Third Eye grants the ability to see through illusions and detect enemy movements.

Slows enemy speed by 50%.

Releases up to four energy beams, each with a ten-second cooldown.

The third and fourth beams fire multiple lasers at once, converting 50% of the damage dealt into self-healing.

If an enemy is hit by multiple lasers, subsequent hits deal 50% reduced damage.

No cooldown, but consumes soul power.

Can be upgraded, enhancing its abilities further.

Lin Fan's hands trembled with excitement. This was a game-breaking skill. Not only could it detect enemy moves, but it also restored health mid-battle!

Even in the game, Yang Jian's ultimate move provided instant healing. In the world of Douluo, this effect could be even stronger.

With this, Lin Fan now possessed four powerful skills.

"This is just the beginning," he thought. "I should try another draw while my luck is still hot!"

Spirit Hall – Private Quarters

Bibi Dong sat alone in her room, deep in thought. She could feel the changes in her body and knew she had to be careful.

"I must hold out until we leave Douhun Mountain. I have no choice but to follow orders for now. If I resist, I might expose my secret… and that would be disastrous."

Her flawless face was shadowed with fatigue. Staring out into the night, she recalled the brief encounter with Lin Fan earlier that day.

For the first time in a long while, she smiled—a gentle, heartfelt smile.

Perhaps, this was the smile of a girl thinking about her first love.

Despite the ruthless training and suffering she had endured in Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong still had the capacity to dream.

"If I can escape from Spirit Hall… if I can protect myself and my child… then one day, I will stand before you, Lin Fan, and tell you the truth."

Just then, her keen mental power picked up a conversation outside her door.

She focused, her enhanced spiritual awareness allowing her to eavesdrop despite the room's barriers.

Qian Xunji's personal guard, a masked figure in black, spoke in a cold voice.

"This is it, Mr. Chi. Have your team use this in tomorrow's match. Even if Lin Fan isn't alone, this will ensure his death. It's not against the rules, and no one has ever used it in an elite competition before. Once successful, in addition to your previous rewards, our Pope will grant your Blazing Fire Sect unprecedented power."

Bibi Dong's heart clenched.

They were planning to kill Lin Fan.

Her eyes turned cold.

"If you dare harm him… I will make you all pay."
