"A 100,000-year soul beast!"
Joy and bloodlust flared in Bibi Dong's eyes.
Finally! After searching for so long, the perfect prey had walked right into her grasp!
Her second martial soul desperately needed a soul ring, and now here one was, practically gift-wrapped and delivered.
Heaven itself was helping her!
Feeling Bibi Dong's undisguised greed, Xiao Wu didn't flinch. Instead, she glared back defiantly.
She'd been through this before. She knew her master would protect her.
And sure enough,
Just as Bibi Dong extended her hand, preparing to use her soul power to seize Xiao Wu, Victor stepped forward and positioned himself between them.
"Why does everyone always try to take advantage of my little disciple?" Victor's voice was casual, almost bored. "Do they really not take me, her master, seriously? Is it because I don't have soul power in my body?"
Only then did Bibi Dong notice Victor's presence.
He was right, she hadn't sensed even a flicker of soul power from him. Out of habit, she'd dismissed him and his group as ten ordinary mortals beneath her notice.
As for the possibility that he might be hiding his cultivation?
Impossible.
She might not be at full strength right now, but she was still a level 90 Peerless Douluo!
No one could hide their cultivation from her!
Unless they were another Peerless Douluo.
But a Peerless Douluo this young? Ridiculous.
"Be careful, Your Holiness! This man might be a Peerless Douluo!"
Yue Guan's warning shattered her certainty.
Could he really be...?
"Noisy."
Victor threw a punch at Yue Guan.
With a thunderous bang, the level 95 Super Douluo went flying like a cannonball shot from a gun. He crashed through the wall and disappeared into the distant sky.
Bibi Dong's expression changed instantly. She summoned her martial soul without hesitation.
Nine spirit rings expanded beneath her feet as a massive spider shadow materialized behind her.
"Third Soul Skill: Death Spider Web, "
"Hold."
Bibi Dong was about to attack, but Victor was faster.
A low-level binding spell wrapped around her like rope. Golden runes coiled tight, freezing her in place.
Bibi Dong stared down at the glowing symbols restraining her, panic flooding her beautiful features.
What... what is this?
Not only did it immobilize her completely, she couldn't even access the soul power in her body!
Victor pointed at Bibi Dong's red ninth soul ring and turned to Xiao Wu. "Is that your mother's soul ring?"
Xiao Wu carefully sensed the ring's aura, then shook her head.
"No, I don't feel my mother's presence from that one."
"Not that one? Then it must be on your second martial soul."
If Victor remembered correctly, Bibi Dong did have twin martial souls.
He looked at Bibi Dong. "Show me your second one."
He loosened the binding spell just enough to allow her to summon her martial soul while keeping her body frozen.
But Bibi Dong didn't obey.
"Who are you? What do you want? I don't believe I've offended you. Why attack me?"
Fear filled her purple eyes.
Peerless Douluo?
Peerless Douluo, my ass!
This man was a god!
Only a god could suppress a level 99 Peerless Douluo this effortlessly!
And he probably wasn't even an ordinary god.
He might be a God King.
Because even the Rakshasa God's power within her body had been completely suppressed!
And Rakshasa was a first-level god!
Only a God King could suppress the power of Rakshasa!
"No. This person is not a God King."
Rakshasa's voice suddenly echoed in her mind.
Bibi Dong could sense the undisguised terror in that divine consciousness.
"This person comes from another world! A higher-dimensional realm! Before him, even a God King is nothing more than an ant!"
"What?!" Bibi Dong's pupils trembled.
A God King... not even an ant?
She didn't doubt Rakshasa's words.
Though the consciousness in her mind was merely a fragment of the goddess, they had already merged. Bibi Dong could personally feel the fear radiating from Rakshasa's very core.
When facing divine thoughts from God King Shura, Rakshasa had never shown fear.
But facing this man, she was like a kitten before a tiger, every hair standing on end, her entire being frozen in primal terror.
Their mental communication took only an instant, what felt like half a minute to them passed as a single moment in the outside world.
"You have a red soul ring. It belongs to my little disciple's mother. I need to retrieve it."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong looked at Xiao Wu.
A memory surfaced.
"So you're the daughter of that transformed soul beast."
"Hmph! You evil woman, give me back my mother's spirit ring!"
With her master present, Xiao Wu felt fearless. She pointed at Bibi Dong and let loose.
"Now that you understand, make your choice."
Victor hooked his finger, pulling Bibi Dong closer through the air.
"Either you release your martial soul yourself and I remove the spirit ring from you..."
"Or I kill you and strip all the spirit rings from your corpse?"
Was this even a choice?
Though unwilling, Bibi Dong knew that since she couldn't resist, she'd naturally pick the better option!
She didn't want to die. Not yet.
She hadn't completed her revenge!
It was just a spirit ring. How could it compare to her life?
At worst, she'd hunt another 100,000-year soul beast later!
Gritting her teeth, Bibi Dong dismissed her first martial soul and summoned her second.
Compared to before, only seven soul rings appeared this time.
Except for the seventh red one, all the others were black.
The moment that seventh soul ring manifested, Xiao Wu instantly felt her mother's presence.
"That's it! Master, that's the one!"
Xiao Wu's voice trembled with excitement.
Finally! She'd found it!
"Since you're cooperating, I'll be gentle."
Victor tapped Bibi Dong's forehead with his index finger. Spiritual power flowed into her body, transforming into a hook that latched onto Xiao Wu's mother's soul ring, then slowly pulled it free.
At first, Bibi Dong felt only a strange force flowing through her meridians. It didn't hurt, it was actually quite comfortable.
But as Victor began extracting the soul ring, her meridians felt like thousands of ants were gnawing at them from the inside.
Fortunately, the pain was bearable.
She clenched her teeth, refusing to make a sound.
The entire process lasted only a minute or two before Victor completed the extraction.
He stored the soul ring in his system space for safekeeping.
There, it wouldn't dissipate.
With the loss of her 100,000-year spirit ring, Bibi Dong's strength dropped from level 99 to level 98.
She collapsed to her knees, gasping heavily, cold sweat beading on her forehead.
