Inside the holy and majestic halls of the Spirit Hall, the atmosphere was thick with tension. Deep within the Pope's Bedchamber, the current ruler of the most powerful organization in the world, Bibi Dong, stared intently at the glowing screen before her.
When she saw Su Yan's latest taunt, a flash of genuine anger crossed her beautiful face. She felt a sting of personal insult that she had not felt in years. Was he really suggesting that her imagination was not good enough? Was he claiming that her Spirit Abilities were somehow weaker than his own?
The pride of a Titled Douluo was not something to be trifled with, especially not hers. I refuse to accept this, she thought to herself, her fingers moving quickly to send a reply.
Bibi Dong: I admit that your Spirit is formidable, Su Yan, but who gave you the right to say my imagination is weaker than yours?
She paused for a second, a confident smirk playing on her lips before she sent the next message.
Bibi Dong: Tell me thisādo you really think you could beat me when I am wielding a near-million-year spirit ring?
The chat group went silent for a moment, waiting for the young man's response. It didn't take long for his words to appear, dripping with a level of arrogance that was almost poetic.
Su Yan: At the end of the Douluo world, who stands supreme? At the first sight of Su Yan, even the Dao turns to empty nothingness.
The reaction from the other members of the chat was immediate.
Everyone: 666.
Ma Xiaotao: I swear, transmigrator, you really have a way with words! Haha, that was actually pretty smooth!
Call Me Her Majesty the Empress: At the summit of all beasts, I stand proud in the world. Where my Golden Ni exists, the heavens themselves must follow.
Red Dust Dream Dream Dream: This spirit tool must have a RankāRank 99 at the very least!
Nine Treasures Little Princess: Come, Su Yan! Swallow this Nine-Revolving Golden Core that I personally refined and carried through the Shattered Void just for you!
Ah Yin: I possess the shroud of the Immortal King.
I Am an Orphan: And I am suppressed by an Ultimate Imperial Weapon!
Meanwhile, inside a moving carriage traveling along a dusty road, Su Yan suddenly froze. He looked at the messages scrolling past on his screen with a look of pure bewilderment.
No way, he thought to himself. Have I already shown off that much? Did I really just say something that cool?
Beside him, Zhu Zhuqing and the other girls couldn't help themselves. They covered their mouths with their hands, trying to stifle their giggles at his shocked expression. He looked so confident a second ago, and now he looked like he had accidentally walked into a wall. Back in the Pope's Bedchamber in Spirit City, Bibi Dong wasn't finished.
Bibi Dong: I am being serious here. Could you actually beat me if I used my near-million-year spirit ring?
Su Yan didn't hesitate this time.
Su Yan: I could beat two of you at the same time!
In Spirit City, seeing Su Yan's bold reply, Bibi Dong's mood shifted instantly. Her anger vanished, replaced by a sudden burst of laughter.
Hahaha! Her laughter echoed through the quiet chamber.
Her disciple, Hu Liena, was standing nearby and looked at her teacher with a curious expression. Teacher, Su Yan just said he could beat two of you. Why are you laughing so hard at that?
Bibi Dong stopped laughing and gave a cold, confident snort. If he thinks he can handle two, then your Teacher can simply turn into three. That would be more than enough to pin him down and absolutely crush him!
She turned back to the screen to continue the verbal battle.
Bibi Dong: What a pity for you. This seat can simply hold you under my thumb whenever I wish.
Su Yan: So you are feeling brave this time, are you?
Bibi Dong: This seat is feeling very brave. Do you actually dare to come to Spirit City and see for yourself?
Bo Saixi: It looks like Bibi Dong is really on a roll today. She is openly challenging Su Yan in front of everyone.
Liu Erlong: Hey, Old Woman, didn't you still owe Su Yan a foot-wash from the last time you lost?
Call Me Her Majesty the Empress: Ooh, things are getting interesting now. Will Su Yan and Bibi Dong actually end up fighting?
I Am an Orphan: Bibi Dong, are you really preparing to make a fool of yourself again?
Nine Treasures Little Princess: Your Holiness, what do you plan to lose this time? A dance? Or something else?
As she read the sharp jabs from Liu Erlong and the others, Bibi Dong felt like she was going to explode. Her face turned red with fury as she glared at the names on the screen.
Damn it! You pack of scoundrels! I swear I will find a way to teleport beside you and smack every single one of your heads until they are crooked! Just you wait! Once I finally obtain the system spirit ring, I will make sure to craft a teleportation Spirit Ability just to hunt you all down!
Bibi Dong: Su Yan, just say the word. Do you dare to accept my challenge right here in Spirit Hall?
Su Yan: And what happens if you lose?
Bibi Dong: This seat absolutely cannot lose this time. It is impossible.
At the same time, Su Yan and his group had finally reached a small town. They decided to stop for the night and chose the same hotel they had stayed at during their last trip. Once they were settled in, Ning Rongrong spoke up, her voice filled with concern.
Big Brother Su Yan, Bibi Dong looks really confident this time. She must have actually created two very formidable Spirit Abilities with that ring.
Zhu Zhuqing and the others nodded their heads in unison, agreeing with her.
It really looks like it, Zhu Zhuqing added. A near-million-year ability is something that should be terrifyingly powerful. We shouldn't take it lightly.
Su Yan gave a wry smile and shook his head. That Bibi Dong... she really never gives up, does she?
Su Yan: Since you are so confident, why don't you tell us your abilities? Let's see if they are actually enough to impress me.
Bo Saixi: I have to admit, I am curious too. What exactly did Bibi Dong create?
Liu Erlong: Please, start your performance! We are all waiting!
Bibi Dong: Little Yan, let's set a rule first. Once I reveal my ability to you, you aren't allowed to chicken out of the fight.
Su Yan: ???
Liu Erlong: Holy cow, the Old Woman's courage is off the charts today!
I Am an Orphan: Today's clown was supposed to be Tang Ya, but it looks like Bibi Dong insists on stealing the role for herself.
Dark Avenger: Have you no manners at all?
Group Member Number Nine: Everyone, let's give Her Holiness some faith. Even though I don't believe a word you say, I still won't support you!
Yanzi is not a Swallow: That is classic you.
Inside the quiet bedchamber, Bibi Dong wore a cold, triumphant smile. She was ready to drop the news that would silence them all. Just wait until I speak my ability. I'll scare every single one of you.
Bibi Dong: You ignorant fools, listen well to what I have achieved.
Bibi Dong: My first creation is called Perfect Clone. It creates a body that is completely identical to me. It is essentially another version of my true self. This clone wields 100 % of my spirit ring power and my twin spirits. She can freely use both of my Spirits and every single one of my abilities without any penalty.
Bibi Dong: In other words, I have effectively become two people. Imagine two Bibi Dongs wielding the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul Eating Spider Emperor at the same time. Do you even grasp how much of a power boost that is?
The chat fell into a stunned silence for several seconds.
Everyone: ???
Bo Saixi: A perfect, identical version of yourself?
Loves Eating Carrots: Wow, that actually sounds incredible!
Liu Erlong: My God... any man who ended up marrying you would probably die of pure bliss!
Bibi Dong: ??? Liu Erlong, get lost!
I Am an Orphan: That sounds fierce. So Su Yan will have to face two Rank 99 Titled Douluos?
Winter Cutie: Such a Clone is awesome! If I ever get a system spirit ring, I want to create one that looks exactly like me too.
Call Me Her Majesty the Empress: Same here! That would be so useful!
Meanwhile, back at the hotel, Su Yan's eyes gleamed with interest as he read the description of the ability.
Excellent! This is double the joy, he thought. He looked over at the twins, QiÅ« and DÅng, who were standing nearby. You two don't need a skill like this. You already are duplicates of each other.
Su Yan: Double... so there are two Bibi Dongs now? That is interesting, I suppose. But if you think you are beating me with just that, you are definitely day-dreaming.
Bibi Dong smiled at her screen, her eyes full of mischief. Little Bastard, you and your shortsighted groupies... do you really think my ability is that simple?
Hu Liena looked at her teacher with an odd, confused expression. Teacher, do you still have a trump card left to play?
Bibi Dong sneered confidently. Of course I do! If all I did with a near-million-year ring was make a simple Clone, wouldn't that make me look incredibly stupid?
Bibi Dong: Little Yan, did you even bother to read my message properly?
Liu Erlong: Didn't you just say there would be two of you? What did we miss?
Ah Yin: Your Holiness, is there something special about the Clone that we don't know?
Group Member Number Nine: Since there is no distinction between the original and the clone, does that mean if one dies, it's fine? You can just suicide-rush the enemy and blow yourself up, right?
Ma Xiaotao: A Rank 99 Titled Douluo opening a fight with a self-destruct... who on earth could survive that?
Everyone: 666.
Dark Avenger: I hereby crown you the ancestor of all Evil Soul Masters!
Bibi Dong: Idiots! All of you! With two bodies wielding the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul Eating Spider Emperor in perfect harmony, I can create countless Spirit Fusion Skills. Do you finally understand the terror of this?
Bibi Dong: If two Rank 99 Titled Douluos using a perfect Spirit Fusion still can't handle Su Yan, my Death Spider Emperor can birth yet another Death Spider Emperor Clone. This forms a trinity Spirit Fusionāthe Supreme Spider Emperor. And on top of that, I still have my second new ability: Infinite Fusion!
Su Yan: Damnātriple joy? Or should I call it... One Breath, Three Dongs?
Everyone: ???
