White World – Spirit Hall
The Heavenly Screen thoughtfully displayed the Grand Elder's evaluation of Bibi Dong.
The moment she read it, Bibi Dong's face flushed bright red.
"What do you mean I'm 'easy to fool'?"
"I trusted the Grand Elder because he's an elder of Spirit Hall!"
"He's a dignified Spirit Douluo! How could he trick a teenage girl?"
She continued defending herself, explaining that she had simply respected her elders and trusted them.
Unfortunately...
Her explanation only made everyone laugh even harder.
"Stop laughing!"
"All of you, stop laughing!"
"Be quiet!"
Bibi Dong glared furiously at everyone around her.
However...
No one stopped.
To everyone present, Bibi Dong's angry threats were about as intimidating as a child's tiny fist.
Seeing that words weren't enough, Bibi Dong decided to take action.
She looked around the room.
The High Priest?
Absolutely not.
He was an elder and deserved respect.
The other priests?
Also off-limits.
Her husband, Yu Xiaogang?
Impossible.
If she dared to hit him, she knew she'd be the one begging for mercy later that night.
So...
Her eyes finally landed on the perfect target.
Hu Liena.
"Heh..."
"You rebellious disciple!"
"Your teacher is being laughed at, and you're actually laughing too?"
Bibi Dong marched over, grabbed Hu Liena's cheeks with both hands, and mercilessly pinched and stretched them.
Caught completely off guard, Hu Liena struggled desperately.
"T-Teacher..."
"I was wrong!"
"P-Please let go!"
Her words came out muffled because her cheeks were being pulled in opposite directions.
Seeing her disciple's pitiful expression, Bibi Dong finally felt much better.
As expected...
As long as someone else suffered more than she did, her own embarrassment became much easier to bear.
Hehehe...
Little Nana...
For your teacher's mental health, you'll just have to make a small sacrifice.
After all...
You're the easiest target here.

The Heavenly Screen Continued...
After completing his Martial Soul Possession, Yu Xiaogang looked down at himself.
Golden dragon scales now covered his body.
Both of his hands had transformed into sharp dragon claws that gleamed with a cold metallic luster.
He then turned around and looked at the enormous pair of dragon wings growing from his back.
A thought suddenly crossed his mind.
"If I summoned my External Spirit Bone now..."
"Wouldn't I have two pairs of dragon wings?"
After thinking about it for a moment...
He decided against it.
Instead, he carefully examined his body's condition.
Surprisingly...
His physique hadn't changed much.
Unlike ordinary Beast Spirit Masters, whose bodies became noticeably larger and more muscular after Martial Soul Possession, Yu Xiaogang's build remained lean and well-proportioned.
Closing his eyes, he carefully sensed the changes inside his body.
The next instant...
His eyes flew open in disbelief.
"This..."
"Is this the enhancement brought by Martial Soul Possession?"
He could clearly feel it.
The amount of spirit power within his body had increased several times over.
Even his Light Attribute had become significantly stronger.
The feeling was almost unreal.
It wasn't as if Yu Xiaogang lacked knowledge about Martial Soul Possession.
After all...
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was home to countless Beast Spirit Masters.
Growing up there, he had long understood how Martial Soul Possession normally worked.
Ordinary Beast Spirit Possession enhanced one's physical abilities.
It overlaid the Beast Spirit's physique onto the Spirit Master's body, greatly increasing strength, speed, and durability.
Yu Xiaogang had spoken with countless Beast Spirit Masters throughout his life.
Not a single one had experienced what he was experiencing now.
Besides physical enhancement...
His total spirit power had also increased dramatically.
"Is this another unique ability of Little Dragon?"
He couldn't help wondering.
Although confused...
He had no intention of wasting time thinking about it.
There was a much simpler way to test his newfound strength.
He raised his hand.
A long staff instantly condensed within his grasp.
Looking directly at Yu Yuanzhen, his eyes burned with fighting spirit.
"Father..."
"Are you ready?"
Yu Yuanzhen laughed loudly.
"Hahaha!"
"Come!"
"This time..."
"I won't hold back like before."
He hadn't placed any restrictions on himself this time.
The next battle would be completely different.
Yu Xiaogang smiled.
"Good."
"Then..."
"Please be careful."
The moment his words fell...
His dragon wings beat once.
In the blink of an eye...
His entire body became a streak of golden light.
He instantly appeared before Yu Yuanzhen and swung his staff downward.
"So fast!"
Yu Yuanzhen's pupils contracted sharply.
Without hesitation, he partially transformed into his dragon form, strengthening both arms to receive the attack.
Bang!
The staff slammed into his crossed arms.
The impact echoed throughout the training ground.
Yu Yuanzhen successfully blocked the strike.
However...
The tremendous force transmitted through the staff caused his expression to change.
"This strength..."
"It's completely different from before."
Yu Yuanzhen couldn't hide his surprise.
Before Yu Xiaogang activated Martial Soul Possession, the battle between father and son had been little more than a game.
Yu Yuanzhen had deliberately held back while casually suppressing his son.
Why?
Because the difference in strength had simply been too great.
Although Yu Xiaogang occasionally managed to make things troublesome...
He had never truly threatened his father.
Even when Yu Xiaogang aimed directly for his head with full force...
Yu Yuanzhen never bothered dodging.
He knew those attacks couldn't possibly injure him.
At most...
They felt like someone scratching an itch.
But now...
Everything had changed.
After completing Martial Soul Possession...
Yu Xiaogang's attacks were no longer harmless.
They could actually injure him.
Although the difference might have only increased from scratching an itch to receiving a hard slap...
That alone was already astonishing.
What kind of transformation could Martial Soul Possession possibly bring to produce such overwhelming improvement?
Yu Yuanzhen couldn't understand it.
But now wasn't the time to investigate.
His eyes gradually became serious.
Then...
He also activated Martial Soul Possession.
Unlike before, he didn't merely transform one part of his body.
This time...
He entered full Martial Soul Possession.
A majestic Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon appeared on the training field.
Its enormous blue-gold body radiated overwhelming pressure.
Its brilliant dragon eyes met Yu Xiaogang's golden gaze in midair.
Father and son looked at one another silently.
Neither needed to speak.
Both had already realized the same thing.
Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul Possession was extraordinary.
However...
Neither intended to discuss it now.
The answers would come through battle.

Watching from outside the arena, Bibi Dong gasped in shock.
"So this..."
"Is how sparring works in one of the Upper Three Sects?"
"A Titled Douluo father..."
"Actually using full Martial Soul Possession against his own son..."
"Who's only a Spirit Elder?"
She couldn't understand it.
"Were they really just sparring?"
"Or were they fighting over something important?"
"Status?"
"Authority?"
"What could possibly make His Excellency Thunder become this serious?"
Even the Grand Elder beside her looked equally puzzled.
He stared at Yu Yuanzhen in disbelief.
"For nothing more than a spar..."
"The Sect Master actually activated full Martial Soul Possession?"
"Does he really intend to beat his son that seriously?"
