Chapter 2 Three Lives Martial Soul!
Becoming an Apprentice to the Pope!
Return to Table of Contents
"Innate full soul power!" a child exclaimed.
"Innate full soul power! And twin martial souls!"
The awakened soul master's voice cracked as he grabbed Lin Fan's shoulder. "Child, do you want to join the Spirit Hall?!"
"If you join, you'll definitely get the best of everything! His Holiness the Pope will very likely take you as his apprentice!"
"Because you possess the same Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul as the Pope!"
"Even if you can't become the Pope's disciple, you'll definitely be accepted as a disciple by the elders..."
"I do!"
...
Just now, the deacon in charge of awakening left Lin Fan alone in the Spirit Hall's reception room before reporting to his superiors.
While eating the snacks on the table, Lin Fan fell into deep thought.
He never expected that his third martial soul would be his original martial soul!
And it was myself!
"My physical martial soul... 'me'?" Lin Fan looked down at his palm.
The lines on his palm were clear, and his fingers were long. No matter how you looked at it, it was just an ordinary hand.
But at the very moment the awakening ceremony ended, he clearly sensed that he had a third martial soul.
In addition to the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, the third martial soul should have released some special effects, but it was suppressed in time.
Two martial souls are already terrifying in other people's eyes, what would happen if there was another one?
Good news: The third martial soul is of terrifyingly high quality.
Bad news: It has the attributes of Holy, Gold, and Spirit.
Its attributes completely clash with the other two martial souls.
Fun fact: The more important the location of the main body's martial soul, the stronger the character.
But this refers to after the second awakening.
However, the more important the position of the main body's martial soul, the smaller the possibility of awakening it.
"It's a physical martial soul, or it includes my entire being and soul!"
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes, recalling the original setting.
The original martial soul was extremely rare during the Douluo Continent I era.
The only one he knew was Ghost Douluo, Ghost Phantom.
He wouldn't easily reveal his third martial soul to others until he was powerful enough...
Conflicting attributes between twin martial souls have occurred in later eras, such as Ye Xishui's Blood Soul Demon Puppet and Light Phoenix martial soul in Douluo Continent II, and Long Yeyue's Light Holy Dragon and Dark Holy Dragon martial souls in Douluo Continent III.
Although they are not the Three Lives Martial Souls, they still have some reference value... In short, one should never easily add soul rings to one's original martial soul in the future.
As Lin Fan was still pondering, the door to the reception room was suddenly pushed open, and a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a magnificent papal robe and wearing a nine-curved purple-gold crown walked in. It was Bibi Dong.
Behind her followed Gui Mei and Yue Guan, three titled Douluo sizing up the young man before them.
"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope." Lin Fan immediately stood up and bowed, but his heartbeat remained as steady as a rock.
Once Bibi Dong awakens her Twin Spider Emperor Martial Soul, she will definitely come in person.
"Little guy, I heard you awakened twin martial souls, the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor?"
"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope."
"Are you willing to become my disciple?" Bibi Dong approached, her tone ambiguous.
"If you are willing, I promise you that in the future, I will definitely give you a 100,000-year soul bone and help you hunt 100,000-year soul beasts."
The attraction between people with the same martial spirit gave the pope a certain degree of goodwill upon seeing Lin Fan.
However, she was always very discreet and never showed her emotions, so this goodwill was also hidden very deeply.
Having achieved his intended goal, Lin Fan was overjoyed, but on the surface he feigned a look of fear and delight, quickly kneeling on one knee and respectfully saying:
"His Holiness the Pope has inquired of me, and I, your disciple Lin Fan, am more than willing to serve you with utmost loyalty!"
"A teacher for a day is a mother for life!"
"Teacher, I want to take care of you in your old age!"

Bibi Dong: ⚆_⚆
Yue Guan and Gui Mei: "..."
The three titled Douluo were truly stunned by this thunderous statement.
This kid...
Just a moment ago he looked terrified, how could he suddenly utter such shocking words?
A rare look of surprise flashed across Bibi Dong's wine-red eyes.
Retirement?
The dignified Pope of the Spirit Hall, a level 99 Peerless Douluo, needs a six-year-old brat to support him in his old age?
"Retire in my old age?" Bibi Dong chuckled lightly. "I am in my prime; why would I need you to support me in my old age?"
"Or do you think I'm too old?"
Lin Fan looked up and said, "Teacher, you are so outstanding that you don't need to take care of yourself in your old age.
But I am willing to dedicate my life to protecting you and helping you through your troubles.
This intention to take care of you in your old age is truly my sincere heart for you!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
This little brat, at such a young age, is quite quick-witted.
"Alright, get up." Bibi Dong waved her sleeve lightly, and a gentle force lifted Lin Fan up.
"Now that you have become my disciple, let's take this opportunity to get rid of your first spirit ring."
...
The Soul Beast Forest near Wuhun City.
Towering ancient trees blocked out the sun, and occasionally the low growls of soul beasts could be heard.
However, with Bibi Dong and two Title Douluos present, Lin Fan had no worries about his safety.
Bibi Dong suddenly reached out, placing three jade fingers on Lin Fan's wrist, her soul power quietly probing into his meridians.
"Don't resist, let me check your physical condition..."
"Um?"
The small body before me possessed a surging blood and qi, and its meridians were far more resilient than those of ordinary people!
Moreover, there was a sacred aura about it...
"Your physical abilities..." Bibi Dong withdrew her hand, her voice revealing a rare hint of shock, "are probably comparable to a second-ring support-type Soul Master!"
She had lived for nearly thirty-five years and had seen many geniuses, but a six-year-old child with such a physique without any cultivation was unheard of!
'This isn't a child, it's a monster!' Yue Guan's lips twitched.
Having the physical attributes of a Great Soul Master means that one can at least absorb a five-hundred-year-old soul ring as the first ring!
Back then, even the young master Qian Renxue's first ring didn't exceed 600 years!
"How many more surprises do you have that I don't know about?"
Lin Fan lowered his head and obediently said, "This disciple runs five kilometers every morning, does a thousand push-ups, and practices horse stance for an hour, without ever slacking off."
Bibi Dong: "..."
"It seems Nana and the others are having too easy a time. Elder Gui, we need to increase their intensity when we get back."
"Teacher, I want to challenge a spirit ring that's nine hundred years old!"
"No!" Bibi Dong frowned, her tone leaving no room for argument.
"The limit for a normal Soul Master with full innate Soul Power to obtain their first Soul Ring is 423 years.
Even if you have a special physique, you absolutely cannot take the risk!"
"Then eight hundred years should be enough, teacher..." Lin Fan blinked, revealing a pitiful look, his voice soft and sweet like a spoiled little animal.
In order to absorb a spirit ring from a higher level, I'd rather lose all face!
Bibi Dong's breath hitched.
This little guy, how dare he look at her like that?
When has the Pope, a man of great power and decisive action, ever been "bargained" with like this?
But those clear eyes, filled with expectation, made her hesitate for a rare moment.
