Chapter 50: Chapter 50: The Existence of Gods!
It's not that the Spirit Hall can't have its own secrets.
The Haotian Sect has the Exploding Ring Technique, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Clan has Mind Control. These secret techniques, they wouldn't easily disclose them. Why would they reveal their own skills, something they depend on for their livelihoods?
The Spirit Hall, in essence, despite its grandiose and altruistic facade, is just a force of soul masters. It's just that this force is more inclusive and able to accept lower-class civilian soul masters.
Since it's a force, it naturally can have its own secrets. Why does the news of the innate level twenty always have to be told to others? Isn't it better to keep it as a trump card?
So there's no way to blame anyone.
Upon learning this, both Dugu Bo and Ye Renxin felt the same.
However, if this news is true, does it mean that the "gods" mentioned by Cheng Xiao are also real?
So, hidden behind this "level twenty innate soul power," does it conceal the secret of "gods"?
Everyone used to think that "angelic gods" were just a vague existence. Perhaps many soul masters would join the Spirit Hall, but would anyone really believe in angelic gods?
Just look at what those bishops in red robes do, and you'll understand.
Do you believe in angelic gods?
Bah! Who believes in gods, seriously?
But when the "gods" really manifest before you, countless people will despair. No one can resist a lofty divine being. Neither the Upper Three Sects nor the Lower Four Sects combined can match it!
Cheng Xiao, with a carefree attitude, threw all the responsibility onto Yu Xiaogang: "I heard this from a teacher named Yu Xiaogang in the academy I attended before. I'm friends with one of his disciples, who is also in my class. We often exchange study experiences, and I learned all this from him."
He wasn't afraid of this news leaking out. After all, if the Spirit Hall were to investigate, they would inevitably trace it back to Yu Xiaogang. And if they did, they would eventually find out that the biggest traitor was none other than the Pope, Bibi Dong...
So what does it have to do with me, an eleven-year-old student? Absolutely nothing!
If trouble arises, you should look for Yu Xiaogang, the teacher who taught me! I'm just responsible for studying. No one told me I couldn't share it.
As for Yu Xiaogang being caught off guard afterward, when did he ever teach Cheng Xiao? Is that important? Not at all, because, compared to Yu Xiaogang being caught, would that make Bibi Dong fall in love?
"Yu Xiaogang?" Both of them frowned, unable to recall the name for a while.
It was Ye Renxin who suddenly remembered a title and realized: "Is that Yu Xiaogang from the Golden Triangle? I heard he's the son of the clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family."
"You know who he is?" Dugu Bo was somewhat surprised.
"I heard someone mention him before." Ye Renxin nodded, "You became famous early on, but later, due to health reasons, you rarely traveled on the mainland, so it's normal not to have heard much about him."
After a pause, Ye Renxin added, "If it's him, it's not surprising."
"How so?"
"He once published a theory called 'The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls.' I paid attention to him for a while because of this theory."
With no hope of obtaining a title, Ye Renxin naturally focused his attention on other areas, and theory was one of the aspects he cared about. Therefore, he had some impression of Yu Xiaogang.
"Later, because of this theory, he offended many people. Some rumors spread, saying that he relied on the elder token in his father's hand to enter the Spirit Hall for study. Then he deliberately approached Bibi Dong, who was still the saint at the time, and stole many secrets from the Spirit Hall."
"Hiss, so you mean, the news about the level twenty innate soul power is true?" Dugu Bo was incredulous.
Ye Renxin pondered for a moment. "Most likely."
For a while, the two fell silent in the restaurant, where the smell of alcohol was strong, yet neither showed any signs of intoxication.
The two young girls didn't understand the significance behind all this; they just thought it wasn't that big of a deal, right? It's just that martial souls are a bit stronger?
"Hmm!"
After digesting the somewhat shocking news, Dugu Bo finally stopped underestimating the young man in front of him like he did before. "Continue."
"My family has some dealings with maritime soul masters. I've had exchanges with those maritime soul masters, and they say that everyone who makes a living at sea believes in the Sea God."
"From their mouths, I heard an interesting rumor. The Sea God once bestowed great divine power upon Sea God Island, sheltering every fisherman who believes in the Sea God. There have been people who swore they've seen miracles; a stunning woman, carrying the will of the Sea God, saved them from a storm. The Sea God calmed the storm."
Pausing here, Cheng Xiao smiled and said, "Hey, I don't believe in miracles. But from this rumor, you can guess quite a bit."
"Compared to the angelic miracles that the Spirit Hall fools the world with, could that so-called stunning woman possibly possess the 'Sea God' as her martial soul, just like the Spirit Hall does with 'angelic gods'? So, when she displays her martial soul, those fishermen mistake it for a miracle of the Sea God?"
"Think about it a bit deeper. The Sea God bestows 'divine power'! The word 'bestows'!"
Cheng Xiao didn't continue speaking, instead leaving a hook, guiding the others to contemplate.
Suddenly, Ye Renxin's eyes lit up with enlightenment. "Gods can bestow martial souls!"
"Exactly!" Cheng Xiao nodded. "Gods can bestow martial souls! I call it 'Divine-bestowed Martial Souls.' So, it's not surprising for them to be innate level twenty."
"To think that gods really exist..." Compared to Ye Renxin, Dugu Bo, as a Title Douluo, undoubtedly felt a greater impact at this moment.
He had always thought that being a level ninety-nine Title Douluo was the end of his life, and that at level ninety-nine, no one could surpass him.
But now, suddenly being told that there were gods in the sky was a huge blow to him.
For the first time, he realized how small his level ninety-one soul power was.
"What do you think? Senior, do you agree to take me to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?" Seeing Dugu Bo's complex expression, a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Cheng Xiao's mouth.
Dugu Bo's gaze was slightly scattered, and he remained silent.
The slightly raised eyelashes of Ye Lingling flashed, looking at Cheng Xiao with a hint of envy. He knows so much... Suddenly, Ye Lingling didn't know what she thought of, her pretty face blushing, her hazy eyes becoming shy, and she moved away.
Dugu Yan was even more shocked, his throat dry. The anger towards Cheng Xiao disappeared completely at this moment, replaced by a complex emotion brewing deep in his heart.
For a long time, Cheng Xiao didn't wait for Dugu Bo's response. Helplessly, he looked to Ye Renxin for help.
Glancing at his old friend, Ye Renxin said to the three of them, "It's late today. You should rest. I'll take you there together another day, so rest assured."
With Ye Renxin's promise, Cheng Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and didn't entangle further. Under Dugu Yan's guidance, they headed to the guest rooms prepared for them.
In the living room, the two old men looked at each other in silence.
After a while, Ye Renxin's voice broke the silence.
"What do you think of this kid?"
