Chapter 146: The Righteous Bibi Dong
Hearing Bibi Dong's words, everyone present immediately fell into silence.
Not a single person believed these extremely polished pleasantries spoken by Bibi Dong, especially Lin Mo and Qian Renxue, who both knew the true purpose behind Bibi Dong inviting Lin Mo here.
Qian Renxue crossed her arms over her chest, her golden eyes slightly narrowed, and a faint curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Lin Mo was silent for a moment, then raised his hand to scratch his head, a confused look appearing on his face.
"The reason for my fast cultivation?" He repeated Bibi Dong's question, his tone carrying a hint of uncertainty. "My cultivation... is no different from a normal Spirit Master's, is it?"
"I just cultivated normally, and then I ended up like this."
After speaking, Lin Mo raised his head to look at Bibi Dong and asked in return, "What exactly does Your Majesty the Supreme Pontiff want to know?"
His eyes were clear, and his tone was calm, as if he were truly confused as to why Bibi Dong would ask such a question.
Bibi Dong stared at Lin Mo for a moment, then took a deep breath. This time, her question became more detailed.
"A twelve year old Spirit King, and your fourth spirit ring has already reached the ten thousand year level. I want to know how you achieved this. And is there any possibility of replicating it?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo looked relieved, and his tone became a little more relaxed.
"So that's what Your Majesty is asking about."
"As for the ten thousand year spirit ring..." Lin Mo paused, organizing his words. "It is because before I reached the Level 40 Bottleneck, I received an Immortal Herb from Senior Poison Douluo."
He looked at Yue Guan, who was standing to the side.
"In the words of His Excellency Chrysanthemum Douluo, this herb is an Immortal Herb known as the Strange Velvet Sky-reaching Chrysanthemum."
Bibi Dong's gaze turned to Yue Guan.
Yue Guan bowed slightly and confirmed, "Your Majesty, what Lin Mo says is true. There is indeed the residual medicinal aura of the Strange Velvet Sky-reaching Chrysanthemum within his body. His foundation is solid, and his meridians are tough."
Lin Mo continued, "Because I consumed this Immortal Herb, my physical fitness was greatly strengthened, and the resilience of my meridians and physique were both significantly enhanced."
"After repeated checks by Senior Poison Douluo and my teacher, Ye Linyuan, I attempted to absorb a spirit ring that had just reached ten thousand years as my fourth spirit ring."
Speaking up to this point, Lin Mo raised his head and glanced at Bibi Dong.
If he remembered correctly, the fourth spirit ring of this Supreme Pontiff's first Spirit was also at the ten thousand year level.
And if one only considered the configuration of the first five spirit rings of her first Spirit, Bibi Dong's spirit ring configuration was even superior to his.
Yellow, purple, purple, black, black.
Yue Guan, who was standing to the side, added at the right moment, "Your Majesty, this is indeed true. This Immortal Herb has already been consumed by Lin Mo. If it weren't for the fact that he is someone protected by Poison Douluo, I would have even considered taking him as a disciple."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo snorted coldly, feeling somewhat disdainful in his heart.
This old fellow Yue Guan was gilding his own lily again.
Taking a disciple? With Lin Mo's talent, whoever he chose as a master would be honored. How could it be Yue Guan's turn to put on airs here?
"The increase in my cultivation is the same," Lin Mo said calmly. "It is precisely because of the help of this Immortal Herb that my cultivation speed is much faster than that of an ordinary Spirit Master. My spirit power accumulates more rapidly, and breaking through bottlenecks is also much easier."
Lin Mo did not blush or skip a beat as he pushed all the reasons onto the Strange Velvet Sky-reaching Chrysanthemum.
It just so happened that Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan was nearby and could help him attract some extra attention.
After all, the Strange Velvet Sky-reaching Chrysanthemum was Yue Guan's Martial Soul, and his understanding of this Immortal Herb far exceeded that of ordinary people. With him testifying, the credibility of these words would be much higher.
Bibi Dong was silent for a moment.
She naturally knew the wonderful uses of Immortal Herbs, but... just by relying on one Immortal Herb, could a twelve year old child break through to Spirit King?
Could it allow him to absorb a ten thousand year spirit ring in the fourth spirit ring position?
Bibi Dong did not believe it. Or rather, she did not completely believe it.
Then, Bibi Dong slowly stood up from her throne, holding her scepter, and walked down the steps one by one.
Dugu Bo instinctively stepped forward half a step, shielding Lin Mo behind him.
Gold Crocodile Douluo remained standing with his head bowed, as if he were merely a sculpture standing there, while Qian Renxue slightly raised an eyebrow, watching this scene with great interest.
Bibi Dong stopped three steps away from Lin Mo.
She looked at Lin Mo, and a trace of almost imperceptible eagerness flashed deep within her purple eyes.
"Lin Mo." Bibi Dong spoke, her voice slightly lower than usual. "Could you let me see that External Beast Martial Soul of yours?"
Because of her excessive anticipation, even her tone trembled slightly.
Dugu Bo's brows furrowed even tighter.
Lin Mo was silent for a moment. He raised his eyes to look at Bibi Dong, then glanced at Dugu Bo beside him and Qian Renxue in the distance before finally nodding slowly.
"You may."
As his words fell, Lin Mo's thoughts stirred slightly. With a flash of red light, Charizard had already appeared in the great hall.
"Roar!"
As soon as Charizard appeared and felt the auras of these Titled Douluos around it, it could not help letting out a low roar.
Its massive body crouched slightly, its dragon wings half spread, and blazing white flames flowed over the surface of its body. Its two dragon eyes scanned everyone present with vigilance before finally fixing on Bibi Dong.
The moment Charizard appeared, everyone's gaze was drawn to it.
Gold Crocodile Douluo finally raised his head, his aged eyes landing on Charizard with a hint of scrutiny.
Qian Renxue's golden eyes brightened slightly, and a smile curled at the corner of her mouth.
Bibi Dong's breathing became imperceptibly rapid for an instant.
Her gaze locked tightly onto Charizard, refusing to let go of a single detail from head to tail. Her line of sight then moved downward and landed on the five spirit rings slowly rotating beneath Charizard's feet.
Yellow, yellow, purple, black, black.
Two hundred year, one thousand year, and two ten thousand year. This twelve year old youth was indeed a Spirit King-level Spirit Master.
Lin Mo raised his hand and gently stroked Charizard's neck. "Relax, it's okay."
Charizard let out a low roar, turned its head, and rubbed against Lin Mo's palm. The vigilance in its dragon eyes gradually faded.
At the same time, Charizard was also a little smug in its heart. It still enjoyed everyone's gazes very much.
Only then did everyone realize that Lin Mo's Martial Soul possessed exceptional spirituality.
Gui Mei suddenly spoke in a low voice. "This Martial Soul... I'm afraid it is no different from a real living being."
Yue Guan nodded. "That is indeed the case."
Bibi Dong forced herself to suppress the excitement in her heart.
She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, then asked with feigned curiosity, "As far as I know, Lin Mo, when your Martial Soul first awakened, it was only an egg."
Lin Mo nodded. "Yes."
"Later, this egg hatched into Charmander just like a normal egg. And then, after experiencing two more beneficial mutations, it mutated into Charizard."
Her gaze landed on Charizard, and a hint of indescribable emotion flashed deep within her purple eyes.
"Am I correct?"
Lin Mo nodded again, confirming Bibi Dong's statement. "That is exactly right."
Bibi Dong was silent for a moment.
The great hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Finally, Bibi Dong spoke again.
This time, the tremor in her voice was even more obvious.
She forcibly suppressed the excitement in her heart and finally asked the true purpose for which she had invited Lin Mo here.
"If an ordinary person's Martial Soul undergoes mutation, the direction of that mutation is entirely up to fate," Bibi Dong said slowly. "Whether it is beneficial or harmful is all determined by heaven, and the probability is extremely low, one in ten thousand."
"But your Martial Soul is different."
"It hatched from an egg. That was the first change. From Charmander to Charmeleon, that was the second beneficial mutation. From Charmeleon to Charizard, that was the third beneficial mutation."
"Three changes, all beneficial. And every change made the Martial Soul even more powerful."
She stared fixedly at Lin Mo and asked word by word, "I want to know, how did you achieve this? Is there any possibility of replicating the reason behind it?"
"If this path could also be replicated by other Spirit Masters, if the method of beneficial Spirit mutation could be promoted..."
"Then for the Spirit Masters of the world, it would be an unprecedented help. It would change the landscape of the entire Spirit Master world. It could allow countless Spirit Masters who are deeply troubled by Martial Soul defects to see new hope."
Hearing these polished pleasantries again, Qian Renxue, who was standing to the side, crossed her arms over her chest, her expression instantly becoming disdainful.
These words might fool others, but they could not fool her.
The real reason was nothing more than wanting to find out from Lin Mo the method for the continuous mutation of the External Beast Martial Soul.
The reason given sounded grand, claiming it was for the people of the world, but besides Lin Mo, how many people in this world possessed an External Beast Martial Soul?
In the end, wasn't it all for Yu Xiaogang?
Qian Renxue sneered in her heart.
What Spirit Masters of the world, what leaving a name in history. These were just excuses. What Bibi Dong truly cared about had always been only that man named Yu Xiaogang.
