Are You Looking for Another Fight?

After saying that.

Bibi Dong pursed her slightly dry red lips, turned to look at Su Cheng, and seemed to have a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Su Cheng did not respond to her gaze, but slowly said, "That was just a dream."

"Yes, it was just a dream..."

Bibi Dong understood the implied meaning in those words, and her eyes dimmed slightly.

But she quickly regained her usual composure and calmness, tilted her head back, and her delicate, porcelain-like face shimmered with a captivating glow in the sunlight.

She stretched lightly, turned around and laughed, "After talking a lot of nonsense, I suddenly feel much better. Come on, didn't you say you were going to make a plan for my future cultivation and arrange the affairs of the Spirit Hall? Let me hear your brilliant ideas."

Suddenly, her gaze sharpened as she noticed the huge desk that had been in the room earlier, which she had smashed during their fight.

"Never mind, I'll have someone send a new one over."

After saying this to herself, she turned and left the room.

He only let out a soft sigh the moment he closed the door.

She tilted her head back and closed her eyes, but she still couldn't stop the tears from welling up and silently sliding down her cheeks.

Perhaps we really shouldn't expect any more.

Maintaining the status quo is already good enough; we should be satisfied, shouldn't we?

Why keep trying to get what can never be yours?

Qian Renxue has simply left, she's not dead.

Bibi Dong felt somewhat powerless.

That's all she can scheme and fight for.

As for whether Su Cheng and Qian Renxue will have a chance to reconcile in the future, she has no idea.

But it's impossible to actually do something that can't be undone.

"Actually, whether we can take it a step further isn't that important..."

Bibi Dong smiled, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and walked out of the palace.

Inside the room, Su Cheng frowned and remained silent.

Ordering someone to tidy up a room and bring in tables and chairs is something that can be done with a simple telepathic message; there's absolutely no need for the Pope to personally say it.

Soon, under Bibi Dong's orders, the damaged room was restored to its original state in no time.

Su Cheng walked to the table, picked up paper and pen, and began to write.

Bibi Dong sat quietly beside him, silently boiling water to make tea.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Su Cheng wrote down a rough outline of the content.

He then picked up his teacup, took two sips, and said, "Take a look first."

"Good."

Bibi Dong responded, leaned against the side, took the dozen or so manuscripts, and slowly flipped through them.

The first part concerns the strategic planning of the Spirit Hall Empire.

The two had actually discussed this matter many times in the past.

It has been mentioned frequently, especially in the past year.

After all, it's impossible to cultivate continuously during the healing process, so there are many opportunities to chat and talk casually on ordinary days.

The conversation touched upon topics such as cultivation, the Spirit Hall, the history of this continent, and various historical records and books.

It's just that the planning at the time wasn't this detailed.

In this section, Su Cheng mainly outlined a plan for three things.

One aspect is the incorporation of the kingdoms and principalities surrounding Spirit City.

This matter has been underway for some time. The surrounding small countries all have ambiguous relationships with the Spirit Hall, but the Spirit Hall's methods are relatively gentle, which has led to slow progress. Recently, they have started to use their power to intimidate others and speed up the process.

If all else fails, we can consider using high-end combat power and having the Elder Hall mobilize.

In the past, Bibi Dong couldn't fully mobilize these people, but now these Titled Douluo all owe Su Cheng a favor, so arranging them is a piece of cake.

As for those small countries, they do not have any directly subordinate Titled Douluo -level combat forces.

Secondly, there are arrangements regarding the Heaven Dou Empire.

Unlike the Star Luo Empire, the ruling class of the Heaven Dou Empire was not particularly powerful.

However, the empire is home to numerous sects and a large number of High-level Spirit Master Soul Master, many of whom possess a strong sense of national pride and patriotism.

Therefore, if the Heaven Dou Empire were to suffer a disaster, it is estimated that many Soul Masters would choose to defend it spontaneously, and it is hard to say what choice the Soul Master under the Spirit Hall would make.

Fortunately, after Su Cheng's extensive lobbying a year ago, the positions of the major academies have begun to waver considerably.

Of course, even if these scattered forces do take action, they essentially rely on the powerful strength of the Soul Master themselves to carry out guerrilla harassment.

When it comes to the actual battlefield, it's really not enough; it can only be used as an underhanded tactic to create trouble.

Su Cheng's intention was not as simple as recruiting them to carry out such operations.

"You want them to join the Heaven Dou Empire, integrate into the upper echelons, and then incite their subordinates to defect in battle? Aren't you out of your mind? Isn't that far too simplistic?"

Bibi Dong frowned, her words filled with doubt.

Given their relationship, she spoke without any reservations, directly pointing out the absurdity of Su Cheng's plan.

"The Heaven Dou Imperial Family isn't stupid. How could they possibly allow outsiders to hold important positions? Besides, the people in the military are loyal to the royal family. It would be difficult for High-level Spirit Master from sects and academies to get involved in the short term, and they would be easily exposed. What you wrote has absolutely no chance of succeeding!"

"You're right. Such underhanded tactics have limited impact in a national war. In the end, large-scale wars need to be fought with the army and lives."

Su Cheng was naturally well aware of these issues. He calmly explained, "But we must try our best to control these casualties. You must understand that if we can truly unify the country in the future, the Spirit Hall will need talents from all walks of life to govern it. Soul Master are not omnipotent."

"Of course I know that, but you still haven't explained clearly how to win over military and high-ranking imperial officials."

"We have a powerful weapon in our hands, the Innate Skill First Scroll. This is a cultivation technique that can improve the aptitude of Soul Master and even help ordinary people possess the talent of Soul Master."

Su Cheng stretched out his finger and gently tapped the table in front of him.

"Among the three forces of Heaven Dou, Star Luo Empire, and Spirit Hall, Heaven Dou Empire is the weakest. They urgently need high-end combat talent, and even if they know there might be problems, they will be very vigilant, especially after what happened with Xiao Xue."

"But so what? They have no choice but to use these people. At most, they just won't have to give up too much power. However, we have the Innate Skill in our hands. As long as we spread some of its contents as a hook, there will be no shortage of people who will defect."

In this extraordinary world, for ordinary people and Soul Master with inferior aptitude, almost no one can resist the temptation of the Innate Skill.

"You've already made up your mind?" Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression turned serious, "This matter has a significant impact."

"It is indeed significant, but with our strength and influence, we should be able to handle any future troubles. The Innate Skill First Scroll changes the landscape of the continent, and it is only the third volume that may attract the attention of high-ranking officials. It is not easy to fully master the Innate Skill, so let's take this opportunity to start making plans early."

Su Cheng had actually been considering this matter for a long time.

A cultivation technique capable of altering the cultivation aptitude of ordinary people has an influence that is absolutely unprecedented and unparalleled.

However, with various constraints, the subsequent changes are still within control.

Moreover, as long as nothing involving Innate Power or something that could affect the structure of the Divine Realm appears, it's unlikely that there will be a significant reaction from that side.

As Su Cheng just said, for ordinary people, it takes too long to go from beginner to mastering the Innate Skill. The first volume should be released as soon as possible.

Although the second stage of the Longevity True Body will eventually be eliminated, the Source Power is by no means useless.

After the Ring Shattering, this energy will be absorbed into his body, which will greatly enhance his abilities.

Moreover, Su Cheng also considered another issue.

Since when others fully master the Innate Skill and cultivate the Innate Power, they can replenish Su Cheng's Source Power.

That would mean that this situation might be of some benefit to the world, otherwise it wouldn't be rewarded for no reason.

Now that he's aligned himself with this unreliable "world will," he should naturally offer his allies some assistance within his power.

Moreover, while consolidating resources may not be of much use to him, it can be quite helpful to others.

Even now, many people still stand behind him.

Those allies who were willing to believe in him included the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the major Element Academy, and even many elders and High Priest in the Spirit Hall.

He always tries to find ways to secure more benefits for these people.

In human relationships, there will always be degrees of closeness and distance.

Beside him, seeing his resolute attitude, Bibi Dong no longer raised any objections and nodded, saying, "It's good that you know what you're doing."

After saying that, he pointed behind him and asked, "Are you planning to go to the Star Luo Empire in person?"

"Well, I'll take Zhu Zhuqing with me to the Spirit Hall in a few days. Besides the two of us, only the High Priest can protect her. But it's better not to trouble him with this. If you go, it will attract too much attention. It's better if I go."

"Relying solely on the Netherworld Zhu Family, in terms of both prestige and strength, is probably far from sufficient."

"One Zhu Family isn't enough, but two owners of the Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul are enough," Su Cheng said with a light laugh.

"Two Hell White Tiger?!"

"That's right, as you probably guessed, Zhu Zhuqing's God-level Martial Soul was created by me. As for her eldest sister, Zhu Zhuyun, she has probably made some moves in the past few years as well."

"I see..." Bibi Dong curled her lip. "You're really ruthless. What will happen to that First Prince of the Star Luo Empire?"

"I don't know about that; it depends on Zhu Zhuyun's methods."

"The eldest daughter of the Zhu Family must have quite an ambition, right?"

"It doesn't matter how big or small her ambition is. There are so many owners of the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul in the Clear Sky Sect, has there ever been a second Tang Chen? You have to understand, there are also differences between the Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul."

Bibi Dong rolled her eyes slightly upon hearing this, "I knew it, how could you be so kind?"

"Don't wrong an innocent person. This is a fair and voluntary transaction, and we believe in honesty and fairness for everyone."

"Wait, if I remember correctly, the eldest daughter of the Zhu Family was quite a beauty..."

As she said this, she looked at the philandering man beside her with a suspicious gaze.

When she was collecting information about Zhu Zhuqing, she also learned a lot about the Zhu Family.

They even knew the details of Dai Mubai's unexplained disappearance.

"What kind of look is that? I'm warning you, don't go too far with your words. There's absolutely nothing to it."

Su Cheng looked displeased, feeling that she had underestimated him.

"That would be best," Bibi Dong muttered, turning a page and looking ahead.

This section covers the Upper Three Sects.

"... The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has been almost completely infiltrated. Their second-in-command, Yu Luomian, Soul Douluo, has agreed to join the Spirit Hall. However, he has two conditions: first, he must help Yu Luomian advance to the Titled Douluo; second, his clan must not suffer excessive bloodshed."

Looking at the words on the paper, Bibi Dong also talked about her previous infiltration results into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Su Cheng nodded and said, "No problem, agree to it. But that sect leader cannot be allowed to live."

"That's natural. Yu Luomian himself understands this. He's a smart man who knows when to advance and when to retreat."

"Okay, that's good."

Within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, only the clan leader Yu Yuanzhen, is somewhat respectable.

He was able to reconcile the long-standing conflicts within the clan, and his strength and methods were remarkable, far surpassing those of others.

Unfortunately, he was also a staunch anti- Spirit Hall member.

Keeping this person around wouldn't pose a significant threat, but it would be very troublesome, so it's unnecessary.

"Speaking of which, isn't it about time you went to the Slaughter City to pick someone up?" Su Cheng asked casually.

He wasn't worried about the safety of those students.

They had a prior agreement with the Slaughter King, and that guy was very wary of their and Bibi Dong's strength.

As the nominal controller of the Slaughter City, the other party can influence the battle order in the Killing Arena to a certain extent, ensuring the safety of the group.

Of course, Xie Yue and the others were unaware of this matter, otherwise it would have affected the effectiveness of their training.

"It's rare that you still remember them," Bibi Dong replied.

"Of course I remember." Su Cheng suddenly remembered something and reminded him, "By the way, when you go there, if you run into Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao again, don't touch them."

"I understand." Bibi Dong frowned. "Are they that important?"

"Tang San is arrogant, and only these two people can influence him to some extent. If we want to discipline Tang San, we still need to use their help."

"..." Bibi Dong silently turned to the next page of the manuscript.

After reading the above, she raised her delicate eyebrows. "So, this so-called 'Human Traitor Wanted Decree' of yours is also to train Tang San?"

"That's right, he's putting too little pressure on himself and isn't motivating enough right now. I need to put some pressure on him."

"Tsk tsk." Bibi Dong clicked her tongue and sighed, "When he sees the list of crimes you've laid out for him, he'll probably be furious..."

However, when she saw the last one, her expression suddenly turned strange.

"I can let the rest go, but how could you have the nerve to write a charge like 'acting as a traitor, colluding with other beings, and having an affair with Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form'?"

"..."

"What do you say about that married woman?"

"..."

"Why don't you say something?"

"You've already convicted me, what else can I say?" Su Cheng said irritably, frowning.

"If Tang San had the power and the connections, he could easily fabricate charges against me. Look at what's been said before; aren't those all made up? These things don't count anyway. Do you think he'd obediently submit to execution just because of these charges? I'm just trying to annoy him."

"Shameless!"

"..."

Seeing that he didn't refute her, Bibi Dong continued to provoke him, "Are you planning to recognize Tang San as your son?"

Su Cheng cracked his knuckles, giving her a forced smile as he glanced at her sideways. "Stop talking nonsense. Do you want to fight again?"

Happy Little New Year!
