Chapter 55: Successful Check-in Outside Bibi Dong's Bedchamber, Acquiring the Monkey King Martial Soul! [Seeking Follow-ups, Collections, and Recommendation Tickets]
Note: Fifth update today, another ten-thousand-word update day. Please keep following. Tomorrow we continue, with updates after midnight!

Hearing Xu Yan say this, Bibi Dong finally felt a wave of relief in her heart, thinking to herself that this young man was of tender years and surely wouldn't harbor such foul, filthy thoughts.
She had momentarily forgotten that such a little fellow existed right inside her private bedchamber.
After all, he was also a man, and any normal man would inevitably possess carnal desires.
However, Bibi Dong was also confident; even if Xu Yan were given ten times his courage, he wouldn't dare commit any foul deeds.

"Very well, this habit of yours is quite good, but... from now on, you still shouldn't touch my belongings. Leave this place now. Just in time, Nana has completed her seclusion today, so I can properly and individually guide both of you," Bibi Dong said to Xu Yan.
Xu Yan nodded.

[Ding! Detected that the host can check in now. Do you wish to check in?]
"Check in," Xu Yan thought without the slightest hesitation, wondering what he could possibly obtain this time after not checking in for quite a while.
Then, he followed Bibi Dong out of the bedchamber.

[Ding! Successful check-in outside Bibi Dong's bedchamber, acquiring the Monkey King Martial Soul!]

A surge of joy washed over Xu Yan's heart. It seemed this completed the entire set of martial soul abilities.

[Monkey King Martial Soul]
[First Soul Skill: Three Heads and Six Arms]
[Second Soul Skill: Fiery Eyes of Truth]
[Third Soul Skill: Indestructible Vajra]
[Fourth Soul Skill: Summoning Wind and Summoning Fire]
[Fifth Soul Skill: Overturning Rivers and Seas]
[Sixth Soul Skill: Seventy-Two Earthly Transformations]
[Seventh Soul Skill: Law Manifests as Heaven and Earth]
[Eighth Soul Skill: Ancestor of Ten Thousand Buddhas]
Matched Soul Soul Avatar Forms: 1: Great Sage Returns. 2: Great Sage Equaling Heaven. 3: Victorious Fighting Buddha.

Xu Yan looked at the abilities obtained from this check-in; they were soul skills that, when paired with the Ruyi Jingu Bang, could unleash heaven-destroying and earth-shattering power.
Damn it, he would just cultivate right here in the Spirit Hall for this period.

Tang Hao, you just wait for your old daddy. Once my cultivation is complete, I will definitely smash your head to pieces.

Arriving at the rooftop of the Pope's Palace, he looked down at the competition arena below.
"Xiao Yan, do you know why our Spirit Hall has been heavily recruiting young and outstanding soul masters from across the entire continent?" Bibi Dong looked at the mist-shrouded Spirit Hall and the faint outline of Soul City lingering in the clouds, speaking softly to Xu Yan.
"Teacher, this disciple does not dare to pry too much. Whatever you wish to tell me, you naturally will; what you do not say, this disciple dares not ask further," Xu Yan replied, content for now to honestly play the role of a disciple and cultivate in a low-profile manner.
Right on cue, having obtained the Monkey King Martial Soul, he could finally begin training with it.

"You are a child of exceptionally high talent. Below us is the competition arena for the finals of the Elite Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament. As your teacher, I hope you can carve out a world here for the Spirit Hall and for your teacher. I hope this championship belongs to you."
As Bibi Dong spoke these words, she was already revolving her grand plan in her mind.
The grand scheme of establishing the Spirit Empire and unifying the entire continent.

"Rest assured, Teacher, this disciple will not let down your expectations." Although Xu Yan said this verbally, internally he was thinking: Once I achieve some grand accomplishment, I will be able to openly and uprightly marry you, Bibi Dong!

"The preliminary rounds are about to begin. What you need to do right now is to stay obediently in the Spirit Hall and cultivate, and you are not allowed to go anywhere else," Bibi Dong commanded. "I will be keeping a close eye on you at all times."
Xu Yan thought to himself, I want to stay right by your side anyway, my dearest Teacher Bibi Dong.
"Understood!" Xu Yan replied.

Bibi Dong nodded and said, "Let's go. Wait inside the main hall; Nana should be arriving soon."
Xu Yan nodded, following closely by Bibi Dong's side. When ascending the steps, he even reached out with polite assistance to support her.
Bibi Dong hadn't thought much of it initially, but seeing Xu Yan's thoughtfulness, her mood brightened considerably.
Holding her scepter in one hand and resting her other hand gently on Xu Yan's arm, she slowly walked up to the throne.

Ghost Doura and Chrysanthemum Douluo also appeared, casting somewhat peculiar glances their way when they laid eyes on Xu Yan.
Ghost Douluo in particular still harbored deep resentment in his heart, recalling how he had previously watched Xu Yan slip right through his fingers.
"Xu Yan... where on earth did you run off to?" Ghost Douluo demanded. "You gave me quite a hard time searching for you!!"
Xu Yan met Ghost Douluo's gaze. *You little ghost, you tried to kill me back then; when the chance arises, I'll have to settle the score with you properly.*
However, his injuries had only just healed, so it wasn't the right time to move against Ghost Douluo.
"I went to Shrek Academy," Xu Yan answered indifferently.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression turned solemn as he looked at Xu Yan and asked, "What on earth were you doing at Shrek Academy?"
Hearing this, Bibi Dong's eyes grew slightly cold as well, and she questioned, "Xiao Yan... when you went to Shrek Academy, did you perhaps take that person as your master?"
"Teacher, I did not," Xu Yan hurriedly and earnestly shook his head.

"Teacher?" Both Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo looked at Xu Yan in astonishment.
"By the way, from this moment on, Xu Yan is my inner-circle disciple. He is no longer a servant of the Spirit Hall, but a core member from here on out, and an outstanding student of the Spirit Academy as well," Bibi Dong announced. "He and Nana will become the Holy Son and Holy Lady."

Bishop Salas was equally astonished. A brash kid he wouldn't even deign to look at twice had unexpectedly soared to become Bibi Dong's personal inner-circle disciple and was even going to be appointed as the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall—a status of exceptionally lofty standing.
"Your Holiness the Pope, although this subordinate dares not question your decision, what virtues or abilities does Xu Yan possess to qualify as the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall? This subordinate hopes Your Holiness can clear up this confusion!!" Salas said respectfully.
Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo also registered their bewilderment.

Xu Yan remained silent, shifting his gaze instead toward Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong, seated high upon the Pope's throne, rested her cheek on one hand, her delicate features curving into a faint, lingering smile as she replied, "There is no special reason. Xiao Yan is a rare and precious talent of our Spirit Hall. He will participate as a parachute entrant in the finals of this Elite Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, serving as our Spirit Hall's trump card."
"This..." All three of them froze in place.

Just at that moment, the sound of footsteps echoed from outside the Pope's Palace.
The crisp patter of footsteps reverberated clearly through the cavernous and empty hall.
Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Salas all turned their gazes toward the entrance, where the three members of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation—Huyan Lina, Xie Yue, and Yan—were walking in.

Xu Yan turned his head as well, his eyes landing squarely on Hu Liena.
Her tall, slender figure and exceptionally curvaceous silhouette were enough to stir wild imaginations.
An unusual charm emanated from her presence; a fluffy, oversized tail seemed on the verge of sprouting behind her, and she had grown even more breathtakingly stunning.
Having not seen her in a long time, Hu Liena had become even more bewitching and beautiful.

"Teacher!" Hu Liena didn't look at Xu Yan first; instead, she walked straight up and bowed to Bibi Dong.
"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope!" Xie Yue and Yan both knelt to pay their respects to Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong said nothing, merely raising her hand slightly.
Only then did the three stand together and look up at Bibi Dong.

Hu Liena glanced over at Xu Yan, blinked playfully at him, and flashed a radiant smile.
Xu Yan was momentarily taken aback; he hadn't expected Hu Liena to immediately cast flirtatious winks at him the moment she emerged from seclusion. Could she be hinting at something?
What a pity, all my "Sparklingly In Love With You" fruits were used up. What a miscalculation!
