Lin Yu and Qian Renxue

Bibi Dong said coldly, "Those who can become gods must be the chosen of heaven, possessing extraordinary talent and strength to challenge beyond their level. Lin Yu, aren't you very confident?"

"My first condition: within one year, you must defeat Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan—the three of them."

"My second condition: within two years, you and Qian Renxue together must defeat a Soul Douluo-level expert that I appoint!"

"Lin Yu! Qian Renxue! Do you dare accept these two conditions to prove yourselves?"

"What!?"

When Bibi Dong announced the second condition, the expressions of the high-ranking officials changed drastically, and those supporting Lin Yu and Qian Renxue frowned deeply.

"Your Holiness, isn't the second condition too harsh? Defeating a Soul Douluo-level expert within two years is practically impossible," Lin Tian said displeased.

Bibi Dong replied seriously, "Heh, mortal soul masters becoming gods is seen by the world as an unattainable, impossible feat. If they truly have the potential to become gods, they should also be able to shatter what us mortals deem impossible."

Soul Douluo Qian Jun angrily retorted, "Bibi Dong, you are twisting words!"

"Yes! This is too much. How old are they now? Even if you gave them three or four years, they still couldn't jointly defeat a Soul Douluo!"

While the crowd debated Bibi Dong's two conditions,

Lin Yu and Qian Renxue exchanged a glance.

"Xue'er sister."

"Lin Yu, I understand."

Without speaking, just a look was enough for Qian Renxue to read Lin Yu's mind and the absolute confidence shining in his eyes.

At that moment, both of their lips curved into slight smiles.

Instinctively, their hands reached out to each other.

Then their hands clasped tightly, fingers interlocking.

They raised their joined hands together,

and in perfect unison said, "Alright! Then let's play!"

"What! They actually agreed!"

"This... Little Yu, young master! This can't be!"

"A Soul Douluo-level expert isn't something you two can deal with in just two years!"

The entire hall was stunned.

No one expected Lin Yu and Qian Renxue to actually dare to agree — wasn't this obviously impossible?

Perhaps except for Qian Daoliu, no high-ranking official present believed they could defeat a Soul Douluo-level expert within two years.

Many secretly scoffed inside, "Hah, do you really think anyone below the title of Douluo isn't strong? We'll see how you end up!"

"If they pull it off, I'll eat my own shit on the spot!"

Even Ju, the Ghost Douluo, shook his head disdainfully, "Young and reckless, too arrogant and reckless!"

Bibi Dong was also quite surprised at how confidently Lin Yu and Qian Renxue accepted.

Her mind went wild with laughter, "Ha ha! You really don't know your place! Fine! I'm already looking forward to seeing your desperate, powerless, pitiful regret when you fail!"

"Heh! Ha ha ha!"

"Tuoba Xi!" Bibi Dong shouted sharply.

"Yes, your Holiness!"

A man clad in white-yellow armor stepped forward.

Bibi Dong's lips curled into a smug smile, "He is the Soul Douluo I have selected as your opponent."

"Tuoba Xi, tell them your current soul power level."

"Yes, Your Holiness. Tuoba Xi, Martial Soul: White Armored Earth Dragon, Soul Power level 83," Tuoba Xi reported.

"Tuoba Xi?"

Lin Yu's gaze fell on Tuoba Xi — he knew this person.

Tuoba Xi was the sect leader of the Holy Dragon Sect, one of the four sects under the seven great sects.

The Holy Dragon Sect belonged to the Martial Soul Hall and could be said to be its favored child—absolutely loyal and obedient to the Martial Soul Hall's command.

Tuoba Xi was also considered a top figure. Although his current soul power was only level 82, within a decade or so he would be able to break through to the title Douluo realm.

During the war between the Martial Soul Hall and the two great empires, he had been wholeheartedly fighting for the Martial Soul Hall and Bibi Dong.

Unfortunately, he died.

What was worse, Tuoba Xi did not die at the hands of the enemy but was killed by Bibi Dong—the madwoman herself.

"Lin Yu, Young Master, since Your Holiness has assigned me as your opponent, for fairness and justice, I, Tuoba Xi, will not go easy on you," Tuoba Xi said seriously.

"Of course."

"Xue'er sister, let's go."

Lin Yu replied, then took Qian Renxue's hand and headed out of the main hall together.

"Oh, right!" Lin Yu suddenly stopped, a sly smile appearing on his face.

He slightly turned his head, looking back at Bibi Dong and said, "To deal with Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan—the three of them—it won't take a year at all. Half a year! I, Lin Yu, will crush them under my feet!"

After saying that, Lin Yu led Qian Renxue away.

His words echoed in the hall for a long time afterward.

That sentence was extremely cool, arrogant, and full of confidence, causing everyone present to be momentarily stunned.

In that instant, some even began to believe that they could indeed accomplish Bibi Dong's two conditions.

"That brat!"

Bibi Dong's expression instantly darkened, especially when she saw the sly smile on Lin Yu's lips. It gave her a strange desire mixed with unease.

"Lin Yu, your soul power is only level 20 now, and my soul power is only 48. Do you really think we can defeat the level 82 Soul Douluo Tuoba Xi in two years?"

After leaving, Qian Renxue felt uncertain inside, worry clouding her face.

At 14 years old and peak level 48, Qian Renxue's speed and talent were already extraordinary, but if she hadn't spent so much time undercover at the Heavenly Dou Palace, she would have long been a Soul King-level expert.

Still, level 48 isn't low. Lin Yu had a way to help Qian Renxue become very strong in two years.

Right now, Lin Yu was simply giving Qian Renxue confidence because only with confidence could they grow faster.

"Don't worry, Xue'er sister, we will do it. We'll make all those doubters shut up completely in two years."

"I also have a method to help you get strong quickly in a short time."

Curious, Qian Renxue asked, "What method?"

"Step one: take whale gelatin."

"Whale gelatin? What's that?"

Lin Yu briefly explained, "Whale gelatin is something that can improve and enhance a soul master's physique, allowing them to absorb soul rings beyond their level."

"In a moment, I'll tell the teacher to arrange for someone to get you millennium-level whale gelatin from the sea. You'll need a few months to cultivate from level 48 to 50, so there's enough time to get the millennium whale gelatin."

"After you take the millennium whale gelatin and absorb the fifth soul ring, it should be no problem to raise your soul power by another level."

Qian Renxue asked again, "What's the second step?"
