Soul Land: Exposing Tang San

Chapter 212 Rescuing Tang Yuehua, Another 'Bibi Dong'

So fast!

The moment Su Yun felt the hairs on his back stand up, he immediately, without hesitation, released his skill, The World. With his current soul power and mental strength, though he couldn't stop time for long, he could react in an instant.

When he sensed the world seemed to freeze for a moment, Su Yun decisively executed the Wind God Leg, swiftly distancing himself from his previous position. In less than half a second, he saw a snow-white figure pass by him like a hawk seizing its prey.

Min Clan!

Su Yun's expression changed. He hadn't expected the Min Clan to catch his blind spot and launch a sudden attack. What surprised him even more was that their speed seemed to be faster than before by a large margin.

His gaze barely grazed them for a moment before Su Yun suddenly looked towards Ning Fengzhi not far away. Sure enough, the latter's eyes were filled with astonishment.

Su Yun understood.

Ning Fengzhi must have secretly accelerated them, attempting to use their high mobility to take Tang Yuehua...

No!

With this thought, Su Yun realized that their real target was not himself but Tang Yuehua! He had just planned to mobilize his Blue Silver Giant to protect Tang Yuehua, preventing her from being taken back by Tang Xiao and the others.

However, they were extremely experienced fighters. Although he didn't understand what had caused the momentary barrier earlier, when he saw Su Yun instinctively creating distance between them, he knew their objective had been achieved.

Before Su Yun could control the Blue Silver Giant, they had already brought Tang Yuehua back to their side, disappearing into the protective circle formed by Tang Xiao and the others in a matter of breaths.

"Retreat!"

Seeing his sister rescued, Tang Xiao naturally had no intention of lingering with Bibi Dong and the others. He immediately gave a low shout, and Sword Douluo and the others by his side didn't hesitate either, instantly turning into streaks of light and vanishing on the spot.

Seeing Tang Xiao and the others retrieve Tang Yuehua, Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others were surprised and immediately wanted to pursue. However, before they could move, Bibi Dong's voice came from behind them, "No need to chase. With our current strength, we're not enough to forcibly detain them. Recklessly pursuing will only lead to unnecessary losses."

The four Title Douluo had no choice but to stop in their tracks.

Seeing that Bibi Dong was unwilling to pursue further, Snake Spear Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo nodded slightly to Bibi Dong before quietly leaving.

Su Yun approached Bibi Dong and whispered, "Sorry, teacher, it was my mistake just now that led to..."

Before Su Yun could finish, Bibi Dong spoke again. There was no hint of disappointment in his voice; instead, it carried a different emotion. "It's okay. Compared to the mistake made by the Haotian Sect members during the capture, I actually saw something quite interesting."

Hearing this, Su Yun looked up and saw a curious and assessing look in Bibi Dong's eyes as they met.

Then, Bibi Dong waved his hand, indicating for Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo to take Su Yun back to the Spirit Hall.

---

A few days later.

After experiencing an external trial, Su Yun returned to the Spirit Hall once again. The younger generation in the hall knew that their prodigy had won seven consecutive victories against the five major elemental academies, and once again, his fame within the Spirit Hall soared.

Many young members of the Spirit Hall took pride in Su Yun, striving to become part of his team as soon as possible.

In the Pope Hall.

The usually deserted hall today seemed warmer due to the sunlight shining through the colorful stained glass windows.

Bibi Dong, dressed in his usual fitted pontifical robe, sat on his throne. His slender figure was alluring, sparking imagination.

He looked at Su Yun standing below and asked softly, "Su Yun, a few days ago, during your battle with the representatives of the top three sects, I saw the ability you displayed when evading the attacks of the Min Clan's clan leader, Baihe. Is this a new soul skill you've created?"

As someone who had inherited the Rakshasa God's legacy, Bibi Dong's perception far surpassed any of the Title Douluo present at the time. If Baihe could sense the time gap, she naturally could as well.

The more powerful one was, the more deeply impressed they would be by something that could affect them.

Bibi Dong remembered clearly that at that moment, she had not reacted to Baihe's sudden appearance behind Su Yun. Just when she thought Su Yun was about to be attacked by Baihe, she seemed to have been frozen by something, even her thoughts were frozen in that moment, feeling similar to absent-mindedness in her daily life.

And when she snapped out of it, she saw Su Yun suddenly creating a distance of tens of meters from Baihe.

This sudden turn of events made her, as intelligent as she was, immediately think that the abnormal sensation might be related to Su Yun. She even noticed that the other Title Douluo present had expressions of confusion after Su Yun dodged Baihe's attack.

They must have also sensed that something was amiss at that moment.

Su Yun was naturally prepared for Bibi Dong's question and replied, "Sort of, but not quite."

Opening his palm, Su Yun revealed a blue crystal triangular cube. He looked at Bibi Dong and said softly, "Teacher, this item is a national treasure of the Tiandou Empire, called the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. I believe Ghost Douluo should have mentioned this to you. When I used this item, you must have noticed it too."

Bibi Dong nodded slightly.

That day, when she learned that Xue Qinghe had given a national treasure from the Tiandou Empire to her disciple because of Su Yun's merits and the news of Su Yun's death, she was delighted for quite some time.

And a few days ago, during the confrontation with representatives from the top three sects, Su Yun had used this item to isolate her and others' aura when she was quite shocked.

The Tiandou Empire actually possessed such a treasure!

Even her, who was almost the most top-notch expert on the Douluo Continent, could be blocked by it with her spiritual power detection ability. It could only be said to be a genuine artifact!

Su Yun continued to fabricate, "The ability I gained is derived from this artifact. When I bonded with it by dripping blood, I gained a power similar to time suspension."

"Time suspension?!" Upon hearing these words, Bibi Dong's face changed instantly. She even stood up from her throne, her breathing becoming rapid!

She seemed to add as if confirming, "Are you sure?"

When she accepted the Rakshasa God's inheritance, Bibi Dong knew that there were extremely powerful gods in the divine realm, some of whom had the ability to suspend or even reverse time, to go back to the past!

Could it be that her disciple had also obtained the inheritance of some god?

Su Yun nodded, "Sure. Each time I suspend time, it can last for 0.5 seconds. However, this soul skill can only be used once a day, and using this skill does not consume energy."

Hiss—

Bibi Dong took in a sharp breath!

0.5 seconds!

No wonder Su Yun could evade Baihe's sneak attack earlier!

0.5 seconds might seem like a very brief moment, but for her, a top-notch soul master, life and death were only a moment away.

If she could possess such a divine skill, there would probably be no one in the world who could rival her.

Bibi Dong took a deep breath, seeming to suddenly think of something, so she looked at Su Yun and asked, "Did you hear any unusual sounds when you bonded with it or afterwards?"

Bibi Dong speculated that it was very likely that her disciple Su Yun had already obtained the inheritance of a certain god.

If Su Yun really obtained the inheritance of a god...

Without waiting for Bibi Dong to think more, Su Yun shook his head, "No, teacher, I just suddenly gained this ability."

Speaking of this, Su Yun also felt somewhat strange.

In the original work, when Tang San bonded with the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, the Sea God appeared, but when he bonded with it this time, the voice of the Sea God did not appear. This strange phenomenon made him puzzled at the time.

Could it be that the inheritance of the Sea God was directly bound to Tang San from the beginning?

And after hearing that Su Yun did not hear any other sounds, Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes slightly.

Perhaps it was because Su Yun's current level of soul power was too low, or perhaps it was because he was not destined for a divine position.

But no matter what, Bibi Dong was sure that with Su Yun's talent and this extraordinary skill, along with the Blue Silver Giant he displayed that day, no one within the same realm could be his opponent.

"Anyway, the effect of your external training this time is quite good," Bibi Dong changed the subject, "Many of the younger generation in the hall look up to you as their role model."

Su Yun smiled lightly, "I'm just doing what needs to be done."

Bibi Dong shook her head, "Don't underestimate yourself. I've seen everything you've done, and your methods of promotion in various regions of the two empires have made considerable progress. Through secret investigations and sampling, we found that at least seventy percent of the people want to see the establishment of a Martial Soul Empire by the Hall of Martial Souls."

Seventy percent was already a very high ratio.

Moreover, this was based on private covert investigations.

Su Yun nodded slightly, "Now, all my Hall of Martial Souls needs to do is to focus on improving our strength and wait quietly until the lower levels of the two empires can no longer bear the oppression of the noble sects. That's when we'll sound the horn of attack. By that time, perhaps even before we officially deploy our forces, the people at the lower levels of the two empires will already be welcoming us with open arms."

"All credit goes to you."

Bibi Dong looked at this handsome and capable disciple in front of her, feeling increasingly satisfied.

Once upon a time, she would only smile twice when facing her disciple Hu Liena. But now she found that her smile had become more frequent when facing her new disciple.

"I don't dare to take credit."

Su Yun waved his hand and then said, "Teacher, there's actually one more thing I'd like to discuss with you."

He said slowly, "The Killing God Domain."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed slightly, "Do you want to clear the City of Slaughter now?"

"Su Yun, let me remind you, although you are very strong, your combat power will be greatly reduced in the City of Slaughter, where soul skills cannot be used."

Bibi Dong did not hope that her disciple would die easily in the City of Slaughter.

Back then, she also had to exert a lot of effort to pass through that place.

"I know, teacher." Su Yun nodded, "So I plan to settle down for two years first. When I feel it's about time, then I'll go to that place."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong let out a sigh of relief.

"Good, since that's the case, you should go back first. It's been a while, and Nana and the others really miss you. Go and see them," Bibi Dong said with a light chuckle.

"Okay, Teacher."

After speaking, Su Yun turned and left the Pope's Hall.

When Su Yun had left, Bibi Dong returned to her own quarters.

She sat in front of the vanity.

It was as if she saw another version of herself in the mirror, identical in appearance, but entirely different in temperament.

"Congratulations, you've passed the first seven tests of the Rakshasa God," the mirror reflected 'Bibi Dong' with a smile as beautiful as a flower, yet it sent a chill down the spine, a stark contrast to her demeanor just moments ago in the Pope's Hall.

Outside the mirror, Bibi Dong looked seriously at her other self and said sternly, "Cut the nonsense, what exactly is the eighth test? Tell me quickly."

"What's the rush?" 'Bibi Dong' in the mirror revealed a wicked smile, seductive yet spine-chilling, "You've waited so many years to destroy the Spirit Hall, why rush at this moment?"

"I don't want to waste time."

Bibi Dong snapped, "I just want to destroy this disgusting Spirit Hall as soon as possible and then leave this world."

The Spirit Hall had always been a thorn in her side, one she needed to extract from her heart.

'Mirror Bibi Dong' replied with a light laugh, "I feel the same way."

But mid-sentence, her tone suddenly shifted, "However, it seems your little disciple is somewhat different from the others."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression changed, "What do you mean?"

"What else could it mean? When he was using his ability to stop time, I felt the same barrier as you did."

"You know, I possess a fraction of the Rakshasa God's consciousness."

"Even I was affected by his time-stopping, do you think he hasn't received a divine inheritance from the divine realm?"

Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes slightly, "Are you saying Su Yun has received the inheritance of some god?"

"Not just that."

Inside the mirror, 'Bibi Dong' continued, "I haven't told you before, but today I can tell you that there are different ranks of gods in the divine realm."

"Generally, they are categorized from low to high as third-tier gods, second-tier gods, first-tier gods, two great God Kings, and three major Enforcing Gods."

"And your inherited Rakshasa God is a first-tier god."

This was the first time Bibi Dong had heard such an explanation.

She wondered to herself: Is it just a first-tier god?

Seeing her inner thoughts, 'Mirror Bibi Dong' chuckled lightly, "Don't think that a first-tier god is weak. Among the first-tier gods, the Rakshasa God's rank is already in the top five, and those ahead of him, the God Kings and Enforcing Gods, are insurmountable beings."

Being astute, Bibi Dong asked, "Are you implying that Su Yun has received the divine inheritance of one of those top five gods?"

Facing Bibi Dong's question, the 'Mirror Bibi Dong' shook her head and said, "No!"

"He is different."
