Chapter 2 Becoming Bibi Dong's Apprentice, [Tianliang] - [Frost's Descent]!
Smiling on the surface, inwardly cursing.
Although he didn't know why Bibi Dong wanted to take on a male disciple, given Qian Xunji's doting on her, he basically had no right to refuse.
He hoped he wouldn't be trapped in the secret chamber later...
Jiang Nian collected his thoughts and, seeing Bibi Dong approach, immediately said, "Teacher!"
The beautiful young woman nodded slightly.
"Get up."
Raising his head, he looked directly at the crazy woman before him for the first time.
Her face was delicate and rosy, exuding a mature aura.
Her long, shapely legs were slightly closed, white and well-proportioned.
Jiang Nian's mind was in turmoil, but he remained calm on the surface.
"Disciple, since you've taken on a disciple today, how about we hold an apprenticeship ceremony?"
Qian Xunji stepped forward with his hands behind his back, smiling at the two.
Bibi Dong gave him a disgusted look and took a deep breath: "No, I want to take him back."
"We'll talk about it another day."
Jiang Nian silently hatched a plan.
If he were Qian Xunji, he would have locked Bibi Dong up long ago.
To let someone he utterly loathed, someone who constantly wanted to kill him, run rampant, and still dream of reforming him with "love"?
Even though this is the Romance Continent, the object of his affections isn't you…
"This… alright."
Qian Xunji shifted his gaze to Jiang Nian.
"From now on, you are my grand-disciple. Follow your master and cultivate diligently."
With that, he took out a golden ring and tossed it into Jiang Nian's hand.
Jiang Nian was startled, a suspicion forming in his mind.
"This is a storage soul tool; consider it our meeting gift."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Jiang Nian quickly expressed his gratitude.
Qian Xunji nodded, a satisfied smile on his face.
His gaze slowly fell upon the cardinals, Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, and the others.
The next moment, everyone shouted, "Congratulations to Her Highness the Holy Maiden on taking on such a worthy disciple!"
Then, he turned and slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Bibi Dong withdrew her gaze, took Jiang Nian's arm, and left.
A few minutes later.
The Soul Masters at the Awakening Site finally came to their senses, their hearts unable to calm down for a long time.
They knew that this child was about to soar to great heights.
"Continue the Martial Soul Awakening!" ...
In a private room at the Martial Soul Academy.
Bibi Dong, with her long, slender legs, sat down in a chair.
Her fingers lightly tapped the table, her mind lost in thought.
Jiang Nian stood calmly to the side, not daring to breathe.
"Little Nian, release your Martial Soul and let me see it again."
"Yes."
With that, the Heavenly Dao Umbrella appeared in his palm.
The umbrella's surface was peach-red, looking very festive.
"A martial soul that can reach innate full soul power is definitely among the top-tier martial souls..."
Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow, staring intently into his eyes.
After a moment, she looked away.
"Tell me, what's so special about your martial soul?"
Jiang Nian organized his thoughts and began to explain.
"Teacher, this umbrella is called the Heavenly Dao Umbrella. You can choose your attack method by rolling dice."
"If you roll a six, the power it unleashes is several times the sum of the previous rolls."
"Essentially, it manipulates the weather to summon attack methods..."
Bibi Dong nodded, quickly realizing the limitations of his martial soul.
What if he keeps rolling decimals?
He can't rely on luck every time he fights, can he?
"To see just how strong his combat power is, we need to absorb a soul ring."
"But... can you roll the dice now?"
Bibi Dong looked at the Heavenly Dao Umbrella in his hand, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes.
This was the first time she had ever seen such a miraculous martial soul.
If even a small number could unleash considerable power, then she had truly struck gold.
She was currently only a Saintess.
Undeniably, the future Pope would be hers.
Now was the perfect time to cultivate her talent.
"Of course!"
Bibi Dong nodded slightly. "Come on, let's go out for a bit."
The sheer hem of her dress brushed against Jiang Nian's cheek. At his height, he could just see the wine-glass legs revealed by the purple dress. A faint fragrance wafted into his nose, quite intoxicating.
"Yes, teacher." ... Leaving the Martial Soul Academy, Bibi Dong led Jiang Nian towards a deserted area.
It was his first time flying, and he was quite excited.
He hadn't expected Bibi Dong to carry him; he wondered when he could do the same.
Since the Heavenly Dao Umbrella could control the weather, it was normal for him to ride the wind, right?
Bibi Dong glanced at Jiang Nian, somewhat satisfied.
He remained calm and composed in the face of adversity.
A good mindset.
Soon, the two arrived at a forest.
Surrounded by plants, there were no spirit beasts.
Bibi Dong sat down on a blue stone, slowly crossing her legs.
"Xiao Nian, come on."
"Okay."
Reaching out, Jiang Nian summoned the Heavenly Dao Umbrella. His fingers pressed on the crystal on the handle, and the umbrella instantly opened, beginning to spin wildly.
Swish swish swish~
Two large characters appeared on the crystal on the handle—Tianliang.
Two blue dots appeared on the umbrella surface.
A bit of bad luck, both small multiples.
"Two dots, Frost's Descent!"
Jiang Nian, holding the Heavenly Dao Umbrella, was suddenly swept away by a gentle breeze, scattering his stray hairs and revealing his handsome face.
His gaze was calm as he stared at Bibi Dong not far away, his thoughts unreadable.
Above the sky, gathering water vapor began to fall like ice cones to the ground.
Its shock was no less than the phenomenon caused by using a thousand-year spirit ring.
Keep in mind, Jiang Nian was only level ten!
He didn't even have a spirit ring!
Of course, shock aside, his combat power was unknown.
Ice spikes rained down on the ground, snapping many trees in half – the effect was incredibly dramatic.
This skill alone could easily defeat a one-ring Soul Master!
Bibi Dong suddenly stood up, her gaze towards Jiang Nian burning with fervor.
This time, she had truly struck gold!
Even with such a low score, he could achieve this.
What about higher scores?
Even with [Seven Kills] and [Six Points] appearing simultaneously, just how powerful would that force be?!
"Little Nian, not bad… not bad…"
"Don't worry, from now on I will teach you well, striving to cultivate you into the most powerful Soul Master on the entire continent!"
Bibi Dong walked up to Jiang Nian, gently patting his head, her gaze softening considerably.
"Thank you, teacher!"
Jiang Nian lowered his head, suddenly feeling like crying.
He seemed to see a hint of tenderness in Bibi Dong's eyes – was he dreaming?
When did this crazy woman ever show such emotions?
After a moment, Jiang Nian seemed to understand how tolerant Bibi Dong was of geniuses.
Perhaps for someone of his value, patience and concern are possible... but for someone of no value, she probably wouldn't even glance at them.
But that's fine, as long as she doesn't go crazy. She 'll do whatever she wants.
"Let's go back."
