"Yes, a completely废武魂 (waste martial soul)."
"But based on your observation, do you think the power displayed by Wang Zhong's martial soul is the strength a waste martial soul should possess?"
Qian Daoliu asked Bibi Dong calmly.
Bibi Dong's jade hands tightened slightly. Recalling the soul skills Wang Zhong used on the arena and the characteristics of his martial soul, she shook her head seriously.
Setting aside the terrifying generation speed and coverage, its inherent hardness was already comparable to some powerful tool martial souls, otherwise, it would not have been able to injure Zhang Shuai, who had the Iron Arm Giant Ape martial soul fused, in a single blow.
This vitality and hardness were much greater than ordinary wood martial souls. If Wang Zhong's martial soul had mutated, everything could be explained, but the problem was that Wang Zhong's martial soul was just an ordinary tree martial soul, with no signs of mutation whatsoever.
"Indeed, ordinary tree martial souls cannot reach this level, but what if Wang Zhong's martial soul is not a tree martial soul!"
Qian Daoliu's words, spoken with a smile, made Bibi Dong's pupils shrink.
"The so-called tree martial soul shape is merely the form his true martial soul borrowed!"
Bibi Dong did not interrupt, quietly waiting for Qian Daoliu's next words. The hand holding the scepter twitched slightly; her heart was very unsettled at the moment.
Qian Daoliu's words suddenly sparked a strong curiosity in her about Wang Zhong's martial soul.
Borrowing the form of a tree martial soul to conceal the appearance of his true martial soul; she had never heard of such a theory before.
Even the notes passed down through generations of the Qian family, or the teaching manuals now held by the homeroom teacher of Class A at the Spirit Hall Academy, had never recorded such a thing.
"Bibi Dong, do you know the origin of the Angel martial soul?" Qian Daoliu's tone was inexplicably filled with a sigh.
"Heh." Bibi Dong sneered, not wanting to pay attention at all. How could she not know?
Ever since her teacher, the previous Pope Qian Xunji, forcibly violated her and forced her into Qian Renxue's body, she knew everything about angels.
It was Qian Xunji who destroyed her love, ruined her future, and turned her into the supreme, cold-blooded, and cruel Pope she was now.
She had once sworn to destroy all the foundations of the angel lineage on the continent!
Not only did she know everything about angels, but she had also devoured a level ninety-five Angel martial soul inheritor! That is, her teacher, Qian Xunji!
"Thousands of years ago, the continental power structure was far from the simple state it is today. Various countries, families, sects, and evil soul masters lived together in a mixed state."
"War, chaos, slaughter, and conflict unfolded on the continent every day. The entire continent was dark and brutal. Ordinary people could not survive on such land; every extra day they lived was an unimaginable fortune."
"Until one day, a sword carrying light and holiness fell from the sky and pierced the mountaintop. Only then did the conflicts briefly subside."
Qian Daoliu clasped his hands in front of his chest, his expression becoming extremely pious, his tone filled with deep reverence and recollection.
"As the sword landed, it stirred up boundless winds and flames. Everyone living on the continent could clearly feel the power and terror of this sword."
"And so, people began to fight and kill for this sword. They climbed the mountaintop, intending to pull out this long sword, but to their surprise, no one succeeded, not even Titled Douluo, Peak Douluo, or even Limit Douluo like you and me."
"The long sword had a spirit and chose its master. When everyone understood this, war and slaughter erupted on the continent once more."
"The ancestor of the Qian family at that time was merely an ordinary person. He witnessed firsthand his friends and relatives dying in the war around him, saw those familiar or unfamiliar faces being annihilated by evil soul masters, and saw this chaotic, disordered, and hopeless continent. A trace of pity inexplicably arose."
"He wished for the war to stop, he wished for the killing to cease, he wished for everyone to live well, he wished for light to descend upon the continent and bring hope to this dark world!"
"With this sentiment, before the disbelieving eyes of the entire world, the ancestor of the Qian family, an ordinary person, ascended the mountaintop and pulled out the Angel Holy Sword that no one had ever been able to pull out!"
"At that moment, light descended upon the continent, and the radiance of the angel illuminated the world! The ancestor of the Qian family, at the same instant, transformed from an ordinary person into a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo and obtained the top-tier Six-Winged Angel martial soul. He was only one step away from becoming an Angel God!"
"The disputes and wars on the continent ended here!"
"The Angel martial soul is merely a symbol of the inheritor of the Angel God's position, while the Angel Holy Sword is the symbol of the Angel God!"
The high-pitched and passionate voice abruptly stopped. Qian Daoliu gazed at the angel statue with an extremely fanatical look, his body trembling with excitement.
Bibi Dong could swear that she had never seen the usually gentle and peaceful Qian Daoliu exhibit such an expression before, not even when Qian Xunji died had he been so distraught.
"The Angel Holy Sword waited on the mountaintop for countless years, and it found the ancestor of the Qian family. And this child named Wang Zhong is also waiting for someone to awaken him from his slumber!"
Terrifying and immeasurably vast soul power erupted from Bibi Dong, instantly sweeping through the grand hall. The stone slabs beneath their feet, unable to withstand this terrifying pressure, shattered one after another.
"You mean, that child Wang Zhong is related to a god!"
Bibi Dong exclaimed in surprise. This fact truly exceeded her expectations. Before coming here, she had only thought that Qian Daoliu knew something about Wang Zhong's past, but she had not expected to receive such astonishing news.
"Related to a god? No, no, no, it's not that superficial a relationship."
"That child Wang Zhong is either a spokesperson for a god on the continent, just as my Qian family is the spokesperson for the Angel God!"
"Or, that child is a god himself!"
Qian Daoliu shook his head, and his words made Bibi Dong's heart skip a beat.
A god himself!
"Bibi Dong, before the Spirit Hall, whose influence spans the entire continent, could conceal a child's past without leaving any trace, do you truly think that such a thing is possible for the Star Luo, Heaven Dou, or the Seven Great Sects!"
Qian Daoliu questioned loudly.
Bibi Dong's expression also became very serious at this moment.
Impossible. Even if they joined forces, they could not achieve it!
In order to search for talented children across the continent, the Spirit Hall had branches in every corner of the land. It could be said that wherever there were people living, there was a Spirit Hall branch.
Furthermore, year after year, they provided free martial soul awakenings for commoner children. The Spirit Hall had an almost complete understanding of every area on the continent, and what kind of martial souls people there would awaken.
The two great empires and the Seven Great Sects each had their own martial soul inheritances, and they never focused their attention on children from commoner backgrounds like Wang Zhong.
In their eyes, powerful martial souls could not possibly be born among commoners.
"If this child never had a past, wouldn't that perfectly explain why the Spirit Hall couldn't find any trace of him!" Qian Daoliu said with great confidence.
