Bibi Dong frowned slightly, picking up the two documents on the table. She read them carefully in the quiet room, where the only sound was the rustling of the pages. Her purple eyes scanned the information line by line.
Tang San, Spirit: Blue Silver Grass, Innate Full Spirit Power.
Tang Chuan, Spirit: Blue Silver Grass, Innate Spirit Power Rank One!
"Blue Silver Grass?! Innate Full Spirit Power?" Chrysanthemum Douluo, or Yue Guan, who was standing beside her, spoke up. His voice was full of confusion.
"It's hard enough for a useless spirit like the Blue Silver Grass to even awaken spirit power. How could it be Innate Full Spirit Power? Your Holiness, do you think the person who registered them made a mistake?"
Bibi Dong slowly closed the scroll. She looked up at him and sneered. "Elder Yue Guan, why don't you look at who this child's father is before you speak?"
Yue Guan was startled and puzzled, but he did as he was told, scanning the father's name on the scroll. His pupils immediately constricted as if he had been struck by lightning. "Tang... Tang Hao?" he blurted out.
He quickly flipped through the background information for both Tang San and Tang Chuan, his eyes darting over each line of text.
Twelve years old, fled to Saint Spirit Village twelve years ago…
"Twelve years ago? The timing matches perfectly. Could these two children be...?" Yue Guan muttered, his voice trembling with unconcealed shock.
Bibi Dong slowly stood up. Her magnificent Papal Robe shimmered with a faint golden glow in the candlelight. She walked down from the high platform, her gaze sharp as she stared at the scrolls on the table.
"Even though Tang San's spirit is Blue Silver Grass, it's definitely not ordinary," she said slowly.
Yue Guan frowned slightly. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "Your Holiness, what do you mean by that? If they are really from the Clear Sky Sect, shouldn't their spirit be the Clear Sky Hammer? How could it be Blue Silver Grass?"
"Yue Guan, it's a shame your spirit is the plant-type Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum," Bibi Dong said, a hint of coldness in her eyes. "You usually love researching flowers and plants and have some knowledge of plant spirits. Did you forget who their mother was?"
Her words hit Yue Guan like a clap of thunder. He looked up, his face changing dramatically, his pupils constricted slightly, and his breathing hitched. "Your Holiness, you mean that spirit beast?"
Bibi Dong nodded slightly, her tone cold and steady. "If this Tang San is truly the son of the Clear Sky Sect's Tang Hao, the one we've been pursuing all these years, then his spirit being Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Spirit Power and such terrifying cultivation speed can only mean two things."
"First, his spirit isn't ordinary Blue Silver Grass. It's a top-tier plant-type spirit with a quality comparable to the Clear Sky Hammer. He simply chose to inherit it. Don't forget, that woman was also a very special existence."
"Second, it's very likely that Tang San has twin spirits. He inherited his mother's Blue Silver Grass and also Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer. The reason he has never shown the Clear Sky Hammer is because Tang Hao arranged for him to deliberately hide his second spirit since childhood."
Yue Guan's face immediately changed. He looked horrified, and his voice deepened with a hint of urgency. "Your Holiness, if Tang San truly has twin spirits as you say, we must not let him continue to grow! Twin spirits are already incredibly rare, and if he is also from the Clear Sky Sect's bloodline, he will surely become a major threat to Spirit Hall in the future. If we don't eliminate him now, it'll be like raising a tiger to cause trouble for ourselves!"
Bibi Dong slowly nodded, her eyes cold and deep. "Your concerns are not unfounded. Spirit Hall hasn't tracked down Tang San's whereabouts yet. The information from Nuoding City Spirit Hall only says he left the academy after graduation and they don't know where he went."
"Don't worry," she continued. "I've ordered Gui Mei to keep investigating Tang San. When we find him... Hmph, I'll personally decide how he's going to die."
As her words fell, Bibi Dong gently tapped her scepter, a dull sound echoing through the Papal Hall.
However, Yue Guan, who was standing to the side, seemed to remember something and continued. "Your Holiness, there's still one thing I don't understand. Your analysis assumes that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass is a top-tier plant-type spirit. But Tang San's brother, Tang Chuan, also has Blue Silver Grass."
He paused, his gaze falling on the document in Bibi Dong's hand. "Based on your theory, since they have the same parents, the quality of their inherited spirits shouldn't be much different. So why is Tang Chuan's Innate Spirit Power only Rank One? That doesn't make any sense."
Bibi Dong didn't answer right away. She slowly raised her head, looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and a strange light flashed in her eyes. Her expression became complex, as if she were lost in a distant memory.
"When I was young, I knew a person," she said after a moment of silence. Her voice was low and calm. "He should have had a top-tier Bright Dragon Clan spirit, one of the purest dragon descendants. But fate played a trick, and for some unknown reason, his spirit became a defective product. It required a special awakening under specific conditions to unleash its true power."
"Tang Chuan's Blue Silver Grass spirit might be the same. It's likely in an incomplete, unawakened state—a special kind of defective product. Because certain restrictions or conditions haven't been met, it can only show its weakest form. This would explain why his Innate Spirit Power is only Rank One."
"As for Tang San's Blue Silver Grass spirit, it's very likely the fully awakened version."
Bibi Dong didn't know that Tang San's Innate Full Spirit Power was actually cultivated through the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and his Blue Silver Grass spirit was also a defective product. Technically, the Innate Spirit Power his Blue Silver Grass could grant him wouldn't exceed Rank One.
This was like Yu Xiaogang's spirit, Luo Sanpao, which was a defective version of a top-tier spirit. Because certain conditions were not met, it could only provide him with a mere half rank of spirit power. But if it were fully awakened, a world-shattering change would occur.
The moment Bibi Dong finished speaking, a dark shadow appeared silently in the center of the Papal Hall. It was Ghost Douluo—Gui Mei.
