Douluo Continent: The Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, who intercepted the immortal herb

No one spoke from the platform.

Qian Daoliu continued walking towards Su Chen.

He raised his right hand.

A soft golden light emanated from my palm.

He planned to take the child, who possessed the ultimate attribute of light, away directly.

The highest power of the Spirit Hall has always been held by the Hall of Offerings.

The Pope's protests were meaningless to him.

Just as Qian Daoliu's hand was about to touch Su Chen's shoulder.

The system's mechanical notification sounded in Su Chen's mind right on time.

"Ding! Detected that the host is facing a choice of faction affiliation. God-level Choice System triggered."

"Option 1: Submit to Qian Daoliu. Join the Hall of Worship. Abandon the God-Slaying Demon Spear Martial Soul. Reward: One 100,000-year-old torso soul bone. The status of Young Master of the Hall of Worship."

Option Two: Outwardly agree to Qian Daoliu's request, but secretly request Bibi Dong's protection. Retain your twin martial souls. Reward: One 80,000-year-old left arm soul bone, and one high-level Xuan-rank concealment technique.

Option 3: Publicly refuse the recruitment offer from the Hall of Offerings. Uphold your second Martial Soul. Choose to join the Papal Palace faction. Reward: One million-year-old head soul bone. Activate the ability to materialize spiritual power. Increase the compatibility of your divine-level Martial Soul to 100%.

Su Chen quickly scanned the three options.

He did not hesitate at all.

Option 1 is tantamount to crippling oneself.

The God-Slaying Demon Spear is a supreme god-level martial spirit.

Giving it up is giving up half of the foundation for becoming a god.

Option two is indecisive.

It's simply unrealistic to try and pull tricks under the nose of a peerless Douluo.

Qian Daoliu could forcibly "purify" his dark martial soul at any time.

Option three best aligns with his current interests.

A million-year-old head bone is a divine object that absolutely does not exist in the Douluo Continent.

The materialization of his mental power allows him to possess a level of self-protection that surpasses that of ordinary people from the very beginning.

Most importantly, Bibi Dong is currently the only person who can guide him in cultivating twin martial souls.

"System. I choose option three."

Su Chen gave the command in his mind.

"Option confirmed. Rewards have been sent to your system space. You can withdraw and absorb them at any time."

Only a moment passed in the outside world.

Qian Daoliu's hand was only half a foot away from Su Chen.

Su Chen exerted force with his feet.

Without hesitation, he took a large step back.

This step just barely avoided Sendoryu's palm.

Qian Daoliu's hand froze in mid-air.

He stopped in his tracks.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Great Master, thank you for your kindness. But I cannot go with you."

Su Chen looked at Qian Daoliu.

His tone was very calm.

Without the slightest fear.

The surrounding titled Douluo were all stunned.

Bishop Snow gasped in shock.

A six-year-old commoner orphan who has just awakened his martial spirit.

They actually dared to refuse the recruitment of a level 99 peerless Douluo in public.

Golden Crocodile Douluo was furious.

He stepped forward.

A powerful surge of soul energy erupted from his body.

"How dare you! The High Priest personally instructed you. This is a blessing you have accumulated over many lifetimes. How dare you, a mere junior, be so disrespectful!"

Su Chen did not look at Golden Crocodile Douluo.

His gaze remained fixed on Qian Daoliu.

"My left hand holds the God-Slaying Demon Spear. It possesses the ultimate power of darkness and destruction. It is not the impurity you speak of. It is a martial spirit as noble as the Holy Sword of Judgment. I will absolutely not allow anyone to purify it or destroy it."

Su Chen explained his reasons.

Qian Daoliu frowned slightly.

"Child, you are too young. You have no idea of ​​the dangers of dark forces. Sooner or later, they will corrupt your mind and turn you into a cultist. Only pure angelic power can guide you onto the right path."

"Power itself is neither good nor evil. Only the person who wields power is good or evil."

Su Chen directly refuted this.

He met Qian Daoliu's gaze without flinching.

"Now that I have awakened twin martial souls, I will cultivate them both to their peak. You have only ever cultivated the Angel Martial Soul. You don't understand the cultivation method of twin martial souls at all. Following you will only be a waste of my talent."

As soon as those words were spoken...

The atmosphere on the platform instantly plummeted to freezing point.

Demon Bear Douluo and Serpent Spear Douluo staggered back several steps.

They were shocked by Su Chen's audacity.

They actually dared to criticize the Grand Elder to his face for not understanding cultivation.

This is unprecedented in the history of the Spirit Hall.

Qian Daoliu's expression finally darkened completely.

The sacred aura emanating from him instantly became extremely oppressive.

The majesty of a peerless Douluo cannot be challenged by anyone.

Even if the other party is a genius.

"Do you think you had a choice?"

Qian Daoliu's voice turned cold.

He raised his hand again.

This time.

The surrounding space was completely sealed off by the immense soul power.

Su Chen felt that his body was completely unable to move.

Just then.

A purple figure blocked Su Chen's path.

Bibi Dong slammed her scepter heavily against the ground.

A powerful purple soul force surged into the sky.

They forcefully tore open a gap in the spatial blockade of Qiandaoliu.

"Great Venerable One, why make things difficult for a child? He has already made his choice."

Bibi Dong blocked Qian Daoliu's oppressive aura.

A fighting spirit rose in her eyes.

The pressure on Su Chen vanished instantly.

He stood behind Bibi Dong.

Looking at the figure in front of me from behind.

He knew he had made the right move.

Qian Daoliu looked at Bibi Dong.

"Bibi Dong. Are you really going to completely break ties with my Hall of Offerings for his sake?"

"He is my personal disciple. He is also a member of the Papal Court. No one can take him away."

Bibi Dong refused to back down.

The enormous phantom of the Death Spider Queen began to appear behind her.

Nine optimally matched spirit rings slowly rose from beneath her feet.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo saw this.

The two gritted their teeth.

He stepped forward despite the oppressive aura of Qian Daoliu.

They stood on either side of Bibi Dong behind her.

Nine spirit rings lit up on both of them.

The three titled Douluo of the Papal Palace assumed battle stances.

Golden Crocodile Douluo laughed in extreme anger.

A dazzling golden light emanated from his body.

A gigantic phantom of a golden crocodile king roared behind him.

Nine spirit rings lit up.

The last of its spirit rings was a red one that had lasted for 100,000 years.

Demon Bear Douluo, Serpent Spear Douluo, and others exchanged glances.

Although they belong to the Elders' Hall.

However, they are nominally under the control of the Pope.

At this moment, however, they dared not easily take sides.

They can only release their soul power to protect themselves.

The stone slabs on the high platform were shattered in large quantities by the surge of soul power from several titled Douluo.

The Templar Knights surrounding Awakening Plaza were blown away by the shockwave.

The two factions' top combat forces could clash at any moment in an epic battle.

Qian Daoliu looked at Bibi Dong, whose attitude was resolute.

She glanced at Su Chen behind her.

he knows.

If they forcibly take people away today.

Bibi Dong will definitely take action.

The Pope and the High Priest engaged in a fierce battle within the Spirit City.

It will only cause the Spirit Hall to fall apart.

This will make us a laughing stock for the two great empires.

For a child who has just awakened.

It's not worth taking such a big risk.

not to mention.

Su Chen does indeed possess extreme dark attributes.

This is in serious conflict with the doctrines of the temple.

He just mentioned purification.

There was no guarantee that Su Chen's life could be saved.

Qian Daoliu withdrew the soul power he had released.

The stagnant air around them began to move again.

"Very good. Bibi Dong. You win."

Qian Daoliu looked at Bibi Dong.

His tone returned to its previous indifference.

"You can keep him. But I want to see if you can train a twin martial soul who can simultaneously control the ultimate light and the ultimate darkness. If he explodes during cultivation or falls into the trap of becoming an evil soul master, I will kill him with my own hands."

Bibi Dong retracted the phantom of the Death Spider King.

"There's no need for the High Priest to trouble himself with that."

Qian Daoliu turned to look at Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"Let's go."

Golden Crocodile Douluo glared at Bibi Dong resentfully.

He put away his martial spirit.

The thousand streams then transformed into two beams of golden light.

It soared into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, they returned to the direction of the offering hall.

As the two people left the offering hall.

The suffocating sense of oppression in Awakening Square finally dissipated completely.

Demon Bear Douluo and the others quickly put away their martial souls.

They bowed to Bibi Dong.

They then took off and left.

They did not want to get involved in this power struggle between high-ranking officials.

Only Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Su Chen remained on the high platform.

Bishop Snow and the Templars on the outskirts remained kneeling on the ground.

I dare not get up easily.

Bibi Dong turned around.

She looked down at Su Chen, who was standing still.

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

Bibi Dong opened her mouth.

"Afraid."

Su Chen answered.

"But I'm even more afraid of becoming a useless person."

Bibi Dong looked at the determined-looking child in front of her.

She saw a glimpse of herself from back then in Su Chen.

The same stubbornness.

The same indomitable spirit.

"You just said that power itself has no inherent good or evil. Only the human heart has the capacity for good and evil."

Bibi Dong savored Su Chen's rebuttal to Qian Daoliu's words.

"Yes."

Su Chen nodded.

Bibi Dong nodded slightly.

She extended her right hand to Su Chen.
