"They're not even in the same league."
Although I don't want to admit it, the facts are undeniable.
If Tang San's Blue Silver Grass doesn't awaken into the Blue Silver Emperor, its quality will only be average.
Li Bai's two martial spirits, just from their names and descriptions, exude a sacred and inviolable high-level aura.
Yu Xiaogang was as if he had seen a ghost.
He put his hands behind his head, spun around in place, and kept muttering to himself.
"Incredible..."
"Are there other twin martial souls on the mainland?"
"This doesn't make sense!"
"According to my theory of the ten core competencies of martial souls, twin martial souls are extremely rare, and are a mutation among mutations."
"Besides Bibi Dong, there should only be mistresses."
"Where did this Li Bai come from?"
"Is my theory... going to be overturned again?"
At this moment, the Shrek team's confidence suffered an unprecedented blow.
Tiandou City is bustling and noisy.
As the capital of the Heavenly Dou Empire, even with the current turmoil on the continent, this place still maintains a facade of peace and prosperity.
Qinglian Restaurant is located in the most prime location in the city, and is usually frequented by literati and scholars.
The private room on the second floor, by the window.
A swordsman in white robes leaned lazily against the railing, swirling a delicate jade cup in his hand. The wine in the cup was clear and cool, exuding an enticing aroma.
Sitting opposite him was an old man with a long sword on his back and white hair and beard. He was the guardian Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, known as Sword Douluo Chenxin.
At this moment, this titled Douluo, who usually remained calm even in the face of a collapsing mountain, was staring wide-eyed at the newly updated rankings on the sky outside the window.
His hand holding the wine glass was even slightly stiff, and he didn't even notice the wine spilling on the back of his hand.
"Seventh place on the Martial Soul Ranking..."
Chen Xin's Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty.
"Twin Martial Souls: the Azure Spring Wine Pot and the Azure Lotus Sword."
"The holder, Li Bai??"
Chen Xin suddenly turned her head, her gaze landing squarely on the man across from her who was leisurely drinking.
He looked at the sky, then at Li Bai, then back at the sky.
He checked this three times, seemingly wondering if he was getting old and his eyesight was failing, or if he was under some kind of clever illusion.
But the golden characters on the sky shone brightly, each stroke containing the laws of the universe, making it impossible to fake.
"Brother Li Bai... is it really you who is on this list?"
He met Li Bai at a dinner table and found him to be an extraordinary man with unique insights into swordsmanship, and who could compose poems and songs with ease. He was a rare friend despite the age difference.
In his original understanding, Li Bai might be a reclusive Soul Master with considerable strength, but that was all.
But now, the sky is telling him that this drunkard who is drunk all day long is actually ranked seventh on the Martial Soul Ranking!
It should be noted that Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword, which he was so proud of, was only ranked eighteenth on that list.
The difference between the eighteenth and the seventh place is not just a little bit; it's an insurmountable gap.
What suffocated him even more was the list of rewards that followed.
Soul power solidified eightfold, a 300,000-year-old soul bone set, divine skills...
Each of these items alone would be enough to drive the entire Soul Master world mad and trigger countless bloody storms.
Upon hearing this, Li Bai merely smiled faintly, his handsome face showing no trace of pride, remaining as calm and composed as ever.
He tilted his head back slightly and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.
"Brother Chenxin, it's just an empty title."
Li Bai casually picked up the blue wine pot on the table, and the clear wine flowed in a graceful arc before falling into the cup.
"Enjoy life to the fullest when you are successful, and don't let your golden goblet stand empty under the moon."
"Come on, let's drink."
He raised his glass and gestured to Chen Xin.
That carefree attitude, that detachment, made it seem as if the world-shaking rankings and divine artifact rewards were less tangible than the contents of this cup in his eyes.
Seeing Li Bai's posture, Chen Xin felt a surge of turmoil in her heart.
That's the true mark of a master.
at the same time.
On another street in Tiandou City.
Two figures were walking quickly toward the direction of Qinglian Restaurant.
The woman walking in front wore a slightly tattered papal robe, yet her exquisitely beautiful figure was still undeniable.
The tattered hem of her skirt swayed with her steps, revealing a pair of long, straight, beautiful legs. In that glimpse, they exuded a breathtaking allure.
It was Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall.
Hu Liena, who was following behind her, was looking up at the sky in shock.
"Teacher... Mr. Li Bai is actually ranked seventh on the Martial Soul Ranking?"
Hu Liena's mouth was slightly open, her beautiful eyes filled with amazement.
"This is incredible! Even the Second Elder, Golden Crocodile Douluo, is only ranked twentieth, and you're ranked fourteenth..."
"This Li Bai actually managed to surpass everyone and rank seventh?"
Even after seeing it with her own eyes, Hu Liena still felt it was somewhat like a dream.
The owner of Miaoyin Pavilion, who only drinks and writes poetry all day, actually hides such terrifying strength?
Bibi Dong stopped and looked up at the towering signboard of Qinglian Restaurant. A look of joy finally appeared on her originally gloomy face.
It was the ecstatic joy of a drowning person grasping at a straw.
"As expected of Li Bai, the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal!"
Bibi Dong took a deep breath, her eyes shining brighter and brighter.
"I thought he was extraordinary before, but I didn't expect him to have twin martial souls, and of such high quality."
"If we can get his help, what are the mere Tang Empire and Shangguan Wan'er compared to that?"
She tidied her somewhat disheveled hair and robes. Although she was injured, her pride and majesty as the Pope instantly returned.
"Come on, Nana."
"Come with me to see Li Jianxian."
The two soon arrived at the foot of the Qinglian Restaurant.
Without any hindrance, Bibi Dong led Hu Liena straight up to the second floor.
As soon as she went upstairs, Bibi Dong saw the white-clad figure sitting alone by the window, drinking.
That otherworldly aura made him stand out even in the bustling restaurant, like a crane among chickens, impossible to ignore.
Bibi Dong immediately put on an elegant and dignified smile, an expression she used specifically to show respect and courtesy to those in power.
She strode forward, and when she was still a few steps away from Li Bai, she called out from afar, her tone filled with rare respect:
"Li Jianxian!"
This call, made without any attempt to lower the voice, instantly drew the attention of many diners nearby.
However.
Li Bai, standing by the window, seemed not to have heard the call at all.
He didn't even turn his head.
He simply picked up his glass, held it to his nose, sniffed it lightly, and then took a small sip.
Immediately afterwards.
Li Bai put down his wine cup, gazed at the sky outside the window, and softly recited:
"Have you not seen the Yellow River's waters come from the sky..."
The moment this line of poetry was recited.
A sudden change occurred.
The once clear sky suddenly changed color.
