Chapter 45 – My Senior Sister Bibi Dong Has the Potential to Become a God

"Elder Ghost."

Gu Han stepped forward and respectfully saluted Ghost. Then, he turned his gaze toward Bibi Dong and Yue Guan in the distance. "Which immortal herb did Senior Sister absorb?"

"I think it was called... Jade Flesh Bone or something."

"The Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone, huh? That's a good choice."

Gu Han nodded thoughtfully. The Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone was considered a relatively neutral immortal herb. It had no restrictive elemental affinities, meaning any soul master could safely absorb it. Once consumed, it would open the meridians and invigorate the body's energy flow, accelerating one's cultivation significantly.

At this moment, after absorbing her third soul ring and the explosive energy from the Whale Jelly, Bibi Dong had skyrocketed from level 30 to level 35. With the additional boost from the Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone, she might very well break through into the Soul Ancestor realm.

A 9-year-old Soul Ancestor—what an astonishing achievement.

Right then, Bibi Dong slowly opened her eyes, her gaze sparkling with excitement. She looked around and spotted Gu Han and Ghost Douluo, then ran over to them with a skip in her step.

"Junior Brother! Elder Ghost! I've broken through to Level 40!!"

"What?!"

Ghost froze in place, doubting his own ears. It was simply too fast. After all, Bibi Dong had just obtained her third soul ring—yet within only three days, she had already reached Level 40?

He knew she'd absorbed immortal herbs to achieve this, but still—a 9-year-old Soul Ancestor?! That was practically unheard of!

Gu Han had expected this outcome. A sincere smile bloomed on his face as he congratulated her, "Congratulations, Senior Sister. A 9-year-old Soul Ancestor... at this pace, even reaching the pinnacle isn't a dream."

He was being modest. In the original story, Bibi Dong had achieved godhood without the help of immortal herbs. Now that she'd added the Whale Jelly and the Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone into the mix, her future potential might not just be divine—it could very well touch the realm of the God Kings.

Shaking his head to dismiss the thought, he looked at the girl before him. With her elegant features and radiant energy, she resembled a forest sprite, and just being around her lifted his spirits.

"Hmph! Level 99 is nothing—I'm going to become a god! I'll establish my own godhood just like the Angel God did!"

Bibi Dong stood tall with one hand on her hip and the other pointing to the sky, radiating boundless ambition.

"Senior Sister, that's quite the aspiration," Gu Han chuckled, giving her a thumbs-up. Then, with a playful grin, he added, "If you really become a god one day, don't forget about your little junior brother."

Bibi Dong waved her hand confidently. "Don't worry! When I become a god, I'll pass my godhood on to you so you can become one too!"

"Well then, I'll take your word for it. But no need to worry, Senior Sister—my talent has now been fully restored, and my martial soul has evolved. Who knows, I might have a shot at godhood myself."

Though touched by her bold promise, Gu Han had his own pride. If Bibi Dong could declare she'd create a divine seat, then how could he settle for anything less?

Bibi Dong was genuinely happy for him.

"That's great, Junior Brother! In that case, let's see who reaches Rank 99 first and becomes a Titled Douluo!"

Her delicate hand landed gently on Gu Han's shoulder, but within her heart, a sense of urgency was rising.

She was the senior sister, after all. If she were surpassed by her junior brother, how could she maintain her dignity as the senior?

She made up her mind—once they returned, she'd start training seriously. No more slacking off. She absolutely had to reach Rank 99 before him!

"Alright, Senior Sister. Then let's have a race to see who first reaches the realm of Limit Douluo."

With her renewed passion for cultivation, Gu Han naturally agreed to keep pace.

The two shared a bold, unrestrained determination, while Ghost could only listen with twitching eyelids.

Did these two even hear themselves?

Level 99 was already pushing it. With their talents, it was perhaps plausible...

But becoming gods? That was something he had never even dared to dream of. Yet here they were, talking about it like it was only a matter of time.

Was he just getting old? Or were these two youngsters simply too wild and ignorant of how high the sky really was?

Still, he didn't speak up to dampen their spirits. After all, what's youth without a little madness? Back when he was young, he too had dreamed of reaching Level 99 as his life's ultimate goal.

Back then, his cultivation speed was among the fastest of his generation. He was full of confidence, thinking Level 99 was just a matter of time.

But after joining Spirit Hall and witnessing the real geniuses of the continent, that confidence had been shattered. Only then did he realize how many true prodigies existed in the world.

Later, once he crossed into the 80s, every level became a painful slog. Slowly, the passion of his youth faded into tempered maturity.

A little while later, Yue Guan also awakened from his meditation.

"HAHAHAHA! I did it—I did it! The Diamond Body—I finally mastered it! Hahahaha!!"

Yue Guan was completely overjoyed, laughing maniacally, so thrilled that he even forgot to mention he had gained four whole levels.

The Diamond Body was a transformative milestone for his martial soul. Now at Rank 88, he felt confident that he could take on ordinary Titled Douluo and even emerge victorious.

The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, being the same origin as his martial soul, had shattered his previous limitations. The benefits he received were the most profound among the four.

While Ghost had only gained three levels and some martial soul evolution, Yue Guan had achieved full soul mastery, awakened the Diamond Body, gained four levels, and enhanced the attributes of his martial soul.

Before, the Chrysanthemum might not have rivaled the Seven Kill Sword in offensive strength. But now? It was no longer inferior.

"Congratulations, Senior Yue Guan, on mastering your ultimate technique!"

Bibi Dong playfully cupped her fists and bowed in an exaggerated fashion, adding a touch of theatrical flair—exactly what Gu Han had wanted to say, only with a twist.

Gu Han rolled his eyes. That made Yue Guan sound like some martial arts villain who had just perfected his evil technique. "Ultimate technique," seriously...

She must've been listening to too many martial hero stories.

Still, he also cupped his fists in sincere respect.

"Hahaha! Xiao Han, Dongdong, don't be so formal! If you don't mind, just call me Uncle Chrysanthemum from now on!"

Having absorbed the immortal herb, evolved his martial soul, and broken through his limits, Yue Guan was in high spirits and felt much closer to the two juniors.

"Then I guess... if you two don't mind, you can call me Uncle Ghost too," Ghost added with a small smile.

Gu Han and Bibi Dong exchanged a glance, then both clasped their fists and said in unison, "Then we'll be counting on you, Uncle Chrysanthemum and Uncle Ghost!"

"Oh, and Uncle Chrysanthemum," Bibi Dong suddenly added with a pout, "Could you please stop calling me 'Dongdong'? You might as well just call me 'Dong'er'—at least that doesn't make my skin crawl."

The way Yue Guan called her had always made her feel awkward. It was fine when she was younger, but now that she was growing up, it felt incredibly cringe-worthy.

"Haha, fair enough. Our Dong'er's all grown up now—can't call you Dongdong anymore."

Yue Guan laughed heartily and teased her in good humor, nodding to show he understood.
