Douluo Continent: The Sky Revealed, What the Hell is Honkai Academy?

Chapter 8 Bibi Dong Makes the List, the Ultimate Evil Martial Soul!
Above the sky, the golden light of the list did not pause in the slightest, even as the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda evolved into the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

As the light shimmered, an extremely eerie aura permeated the sky.

At an extremely fast speed, a hideous and grotesque phantom of a giant spider, covered in dark purple carapace and exuding a strong aura of death and misfortune, was sketched out!

The next second, a large amount of text appeared on the list!
[Martial Soul Ranking, No. 18 - Death Spider Emperor (Top-tier Offensive/Control Beast Martial Soul)]

[Evaluation: The embodiment of death, the immortal king! A combination of ultimate power and immortal life, possessing terrifying physical attack power, defense power and despair-inducing recovery ability, known for its "immortality" characteristic, extremely powerful.]

However, the power of a martial soul is too biased towards destruction and slaughter. Its wielder is trapped in hatred, unable to grasp the true meaning of death, and instead consumed by its malevolent energy, easily losing their reason and obscuring their potential. Therefore, it is relegated to this position.

[The strongest holder: Bibi Dong, a level 99 Peerless Douluo, Pope of the Spirit Hall, holder of twin martial souls, and inheritor of the Rakshasa God's test!]

[Most Talented: Bibi Dong. (Because she is the strongest and most talented user of this martial soul, the reward is doubled.)]

[Received bonus rewards: All Soul Rings' age increased by 30,000 years! 30,000-year external Soul Bone—'Death Spider Emperor's Soul-Devouring Eight Spears'!]

……

Wuhun Palace, Pope Palace.

When Bibi Dong saw words like "Heavenly Dao is determined to destroy," "deeply mired in hatred," "unable to grasp the true meaning of death," and "devoured by malevolent energy" used to describe her, her face instantly turned ashen.

In an instant, an extremely terrifying killing intent spread uncontrollably, and the temperature in the entire Papal Palace plummeted!

"presumptuous!"

Just a few comments were enough to break Bibi Dong's defenses, and she couldn't hold back her anger.

This Heavenly Dao dares to judge her actions and heart in such a way; it's utterly presumptuous!
However, as the generous rewards were revealed one by one, Bibi Dong's anger was instantly replaced by immense surprise!

Increase the age limit of all spirit rings by 30,000 years?
Her spirit ring configuration was already extremely high, and with this upgrade, her strength will surely skyrocket!

Moreover, it also possesses an incredibly precious external soul bone!
"Hmph, although I didn't make it into the top ten, ranking eighteenth, at least the Heavenly Dao has acknowledged the extraordinary nature of my martial soul!"

Bibi Dong's lips curled up slightly, her expression changing faster than turning the pages of a book!
Before she could finish speaking, an incredibly thick, malevolent, purplish-black beam of light crashed down, completely enveloping her!

"Om-!"

Behind Bibi Dong, the ferocious phantom of the Death Spider King roared to the sky, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, red!

Nine spirit rings, out of proportion with no common sense, suddenly appeared, one of which, a blood-red 100,000-year spirit ring, was particularly eye-catching!

As a massive surge of Heavenly Dao energy poured in, she clearly felt that the power of all her soul rings instantly increased, and their colors became even deeper!

More importantly, a tearing pain and tingling sensation came from her back. Eight purplish-black bone spurs, covered with strange patterns and with tips that gleamed with a soul-devouring cold light, burst out of her body and swayed slowly behind her like living things!

"Hahaha! Great! The spirit ring's age has been increased by 30,000 years, and there's also an external spirit bone!"

Bibi Dong felt the surging power within her body and the eight death bone spears on her back that seemed to control her like her own arms. She couldn't help but let out a hearty, chilling laugh.

"With this reward, my Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul is one step closer to completely mastering the power of death!"

Her gaze swept across the sky outside the palace, as if she could see through the heavens at the astonished masses, her tone filled with disdain:
"Do you see it? This is my true power! The glory of the Spirit Hall will surely envelop the entire continent!"

At the bottom of the steps, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan exclaimed in a shrill voice, "Congratulations, Your Holiness the Pope! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Your divine might is unparalleled!"

Ghost Douluo echoed in a hoarse voice, "The Death Spider Emperor has such potential! His Holiness the Pope is truly destined for greatness!"

The elders of the Spirit Hall knelt down, shouting "Long live the Pope!" their faces filled with awe and fervor. The stronger the Pope, the more secure the Spirit Hall's dominance!

……

Worship Hall.

Qian Daoliu gazed silently at the sky, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly.

“Bibi Dong is a woman with both great opportunities and great ambitions.”

He muttered to himself, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger, but a hint of seriousness flashed deep in his eyes.

Bibi Dong's strength improved at a rate that exceeded his expectations.

Golden Crocodile Douluo sneered: "Evil martial souls are ultimately unorthodox methods! How can they be compared to the glory of the Angel God!"

That being said, his clenched fists showed that he was not at peace.

……

Qibao Glazed Sect.

Ning Fengzhi looked at the ferocious phantom of the Spider Emperor in the sky and Bibi Dong's arrogant posture, his expression extremely solemn.

"This reward is truly beyond expectations. The age of the spirit ring has been increased by 30,000 years, and there's even an external spirit bone!"

He took a deep breath and looked at Sword and Bone Douluo beside him. "Bibi Dong's strength is becoming increasingly unfathomable. Moreover, she is a legendary twin martial soul. Her other martial soul can probably also be listed on the Golden Ranking!"

Sword Douluo Chen Xin's gaze sharpened: "This martial soul is evil and domineering. If it clashes with the Spirit Hall in the future, Bibi Dong will be a major threat to us."

Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, spat: "Pah! Just a stinking spider! My bone dragon is tougher than hers. Once I get the Golden Ranking reward, and join forces with the Old Swordsman, we might not be afraid of her at all!"

……

Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang looked at the sky, his body trembling slightly. He was shocked by the power and strangeness of the Death Spider King, and also felt a complex mix of emotions towards Bibi Dong, the object of his former love and now fear.

“Death Spider Queen… Twin Martial Souls… She actually came to this…” he muttered to himself, his face pale.

……

Honkai Academy, Dean's Office Terrace.

Vice Dean Theresa looked at the ferocious Death Spider King in the sky and the domineering Bibi Dong, and clicked her tongue slightly:
"Wow, that old woman's martial spirit looks so fierce! Dean, can our martial spirit compare to hers?"

After a moment's thought, Fu Hua calmly analyzed, "Judging from the power and evaluation displayed on the Golden List alone, the Death Spider Emperor is indeed a top-tier beast spirit, especially with its extremely rare 'immortality' characteristic. However, the strength of a spirit is not absolute; the user is more crucial."

Rita gracefully refilled Zhang Yi's teacup and smiled, "This female pope is indeed exceptionally charming, but I have more faith in the dean's judgment and the strength of our academy."

Zhang Yi sipped his red tea, a faint smile playing on his lips: "You don't need to underestimate yourselves. Aren't you all top-tier powerhouses in this collapsing world? The martial souls you were born with far surpass this Death Spider King in both potential and quality. I have absolute confidence in you."

Upon hearing Zhang Yi's words, Theresa immediately puffed out her chest: "That's right! My Judah Armor is really powerful! Not only can it transform, but it can also smash people!"
