Two Head Soul Bones
The massive palace doors slowly opened.
Everyone's gaze was unconsciously drawn to the direction where the door had opened.
Bibi Dong, dressed in a long, shimmering gold gown, wearing a purple-gold crown, and holding a scepter, solemnly led the way out of the Pope's Palace.
Tang San noticed Bibi Dong's stunningly beautiful face, and at this moment, he was completely awestruck.
How could there be such a perfect woman in the world? It seems that all the words of praise can be used to describe her appearance.
Her features were so exquisite they seemed unreal; her eyebrows resembled distant mountains, her eyes were like autumn water, her nose was high and straight, and her lips were like cherries.
Every detail is perfect, as if it were a masterpiece crafted by the most skilled artisans over a lifetime.
Her skin was as white as snow and as delicate as porcelain, gleaming softly in the sunlight, without a single blemish.
She was tall and well-proportioned, and the long, shimmering gold dress fit her perfectly, outlining her figure beautifully.
The purple-gold crown on her head shone with dazzling brilliance, and all the light converged on her alone at this moment.
At that moment, all members of the Spirit Hall knelt on one knee.
"Greetings, Your His Holiness the Pope."
The atmosphere at that moment was indescribable; shouts came from all directions, making one feel an urge to prostrate oneself in worship.
Four people followed behind Bibi Dong.
These are Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, and Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, who once tried to assassinate him.
Dugu Bo was originally qualified, but he did not join them. Instead, he and Xue Qinghe quietly stayed at the VIP table.
At this moment, only the students from the Shrek Academy on this platform did not kneel.
Tang San didn't kneel down, of course, because of Qian Renxue. I am Qian Renxue's person, so I still have to show my stance at this time.
Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling naturally followed Tang San.
Because Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing belonged to the Star Luo Imperial Family, Ning Rongrong because of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, neither of them wanted to kneel.
Seeing that neither the captain nor the vice-captain knelt, the others naturally did not kneel either.
Although there is no explicit rule that Soul Masters must bow to the Pope the Spirit Hall, at this moment, the Shrek Team undoubtedly stands out as unique.
Bibi Dong's gaze fell directly on the members of the Shrek Team, and all the members of the Spirit Hall glared angrily at the Shrek Team.
Standing behind Bibi Dong Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan moved his lips slightly, conveying information to Bibi Dong. Bibi Dong's gaze immediately found Tang San among the Shrek Team.
When she saw Tang San staring straight at her, her gaze instantly focused on Tang San. Tang San clearly felt a strong mental fluctuation trapping him.
But Tang San was stubborn and didn't look away. Such a beautiful woman, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
He activated his External Soul Bone, the Dreamlike Eyes, and withstood Bibi Dong's mental attack, meeting her gaze.
"How dare you! Why don't you kneel before His Holiness the Pope?" a cardinal shouted angrily.
Tang San, naturally, didn't hold back, retorting sharply, "I am a subordinate of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire, and I am loyal only to His Crown Prince. If anyone is to kneel, it is only His Highness the Crown Prince."
Of course, when Tang San said "kneel," he meant the "kneeling" behind Qian Renxue, who was lying face down.
If you want me to kneel before you, you'll have to lie down too, and of course I'm willing to kneel then.
Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe on the VIP platform was overjoyed, feeling immensely proud of Tang San's declaration of loyalty before the Pope's Palace.
The core members of the Spirit Hall, including Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, naturally knew that Xue Qinghe was Qian Renxue.
Upon hearing this, these people were at a loss for words to refute Tang San.
This rebuttal offended the Worship Hall, while remaining silent risked offending the Pope, leaving them in an awkward situation.
A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, but she quickly calmed down, a faint smile appearing on her face.
She gazed at Tang San and said, "Very good. The Heaven Dou Crown Prince will surely feel very honored to have such a loyal subordinate as you."
Xue Qinghe immediately replied, "Thank you for the praise, Your Pope. I am naturally very proud."
Bibi Dong nodded and said, "Very good, I look forward to your outstanding performance in the finals."
Tang San replied calmly, "Thank you. This junior will certainly fight for His Crown Prince and bring glory to the empire."
A hint of disdain flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, and she stopped dwelling on the verbal exchange. She waved her scepter slightly and said, "Rise, all of you."
Only then did all those who had knelt on the ground stand up.
Because of the conversation just now, the members of the Spirit Hall Team glared angrily at Tang San after they got up.
Especially Zhang San, the murderous intent in his eyes spoke volumes without needing to be explicitly stated, "You dare disrespect my teacher? You've earned your death."
The members of the New Divine Wind Team felt even greater respect for Tang San. They couldn't believe there was such a loyal person in the world who dared to fight the Pope for the sake of the Crown Prince.
Bibi Dong's gaze swept from left to right over all the young Soul Masters participating in the final three, and a smile appeared on her face.
"I see hope in you. Pope's Palace, I hope to see your full potential and strength. The ultimate victor will receive the Spirit Hall's greatest reward."
As she spoke, she lightly waved the scepter in her hand.
The four points of light instantly magnified in front of Bibi Dong, floating in mid-air.
Those were four different things, none of them large, shaped like skeletons: a right arm bone, a left leg bone, and two skulls.
It also shimmered with fiery red, dark green, light blue, and purplish-black light respectively.
Soul Bones, those are four Soul Bones.
In an instant, the entire square was in an uproar.
The sheer light emanating from these four Soul Bones reveals their exceptional quality.
Even those from the Spirit Hall had greedy glints in their eyes.
If it weren't for the presence of several Titled Douluos here, someone would probably have already succumbed to their greed and rushed forward to snatch it.
Tang San couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart.
This is Soul Bone! For Soul Master, it's the most precious thing, something that can only be encountered by chance and is extremely rare.
There are six types of ordinary Soul Bones: skull, torso bones, and limb bones.
Of the six types of Soul Bones, the most precious is the torso, followed by the head, and then the right hand, left hand, left leg, and right leg in that order.
Soul Bones of the same quality have different values depending on their location.
Of the four Soul Bones that Pope Bibi Dong brought out this time, although there was no most precious Torso Soul Bone, there were still two skulls.
Moreover, these four Soul Bones were clearly produced by Soul Beasts that were over ten thousand years old.
For Soul Masters, these are the ultimate treasures.
Standing behind the Pope, Ghost Douluo Gui Mei said in a deep voice, "The four Soul Bones are the Soul Devouring Demon Spider Skull, the Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull, the Explosive Burning Flame Right Arm, and the Rapid Advance Wind Chasing Left Leg. All four Soul Bones originated from Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts."
Ghost Douluo paused, then continued, "Among them, the Soul Devouring Demon Spider Skull came from a Soul Devouring Demon Spider Emperor that was 60,000 years old, and was personally slain by His Holiness the Pope. The Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull came from a Soul Beast that was over 50,000 years old, and was personally slain by the His Holiness the Pope. Both of these Head Soul Bones are top-grade Soul Bones, second only to External Soul Bones and top-tier Soul Bones produced by Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bibi Dong said calmly, "There can only be one winner, and the same goes for the champion. Therefore, these four Soul Bones will belong to the final champion team. I hope that the three academies that have entered the top three will give their all and win this honor."
