"Ah!!!!"
"You lackeys of Spirit Hall... you villains who kidnapped my Mother!!"
Shi Hao roared, treating Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo like punching bags as he battered them wildly. The battle instantly became one-sided.
Overwhelming—absolute overwhelming force!
Qian Daoliu was clearly shocked by the sight. An eight-ringed Soul Douluo was challenging two Titled Douluo and even held the upper hand. There was only one explanation: the difference in their Martial Souls.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's Martial Souls were considered top-tier as well. After all, without a top-tier Martial Soul, it would be difficult to cultivate to the realm of Titled Douluo. There were not many Martial Souls across the entire Douluo Continent stronger than theirs.
Even if there were... they were not much stronger.
Just as Shi Hao swung his fists and gathered strength to attack the two, they hurriedly used the remainder of their Soul Power to defend against the powerful blow.
"Old Ghost... I can't hold on anymore. This kid's strength is truly outrageous!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo spat out another mouthful of blood and spoke with difficulty. Ghost Douluo also coughed up blood, his voice hoarse.
"I... me too. We can't do this... we're no match for this guy. This kid's Martial Soul seems to suppress mine."
"On top of that, his heaven-defying Spirit Ring configuration gives him an enormous boost... he is no weaker than an ordinary Super Douluo!"
Although Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo fought with everything they had, their strength was worlds apart from Shi Hao's. They were beaten until they had no ability to fight back and were steadily forced backward. Worse still, the protective barrier around them kept shattering beneath Shi Hao's attacks.
Qian Daoliu was greatly alarmed. If Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were severely injured or even killed here, Spirit Hall would face an unprecedented crisis. Just as he prepared to intervene and rescue them, he suddenly stopped, his grave gaze fixed on the distance.
At that moment, a beautiful figure descended upon the battlefield like an immortal maiden.
She landed lightly before Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, her expression solemn as she unhesitatingly threw a slender punch. The punch appeared plain and unremarkable, yet it contained boundless power.
To everyone's astonishment, Shi Hao's enormous fist collided head-on with that slender punch.
In an instant, a deafening boom rang out. Yet just as everyone stood stunned, Shi Hao was sent flying hundreds of meters by that seemingly insignificant punch, crashing through countless houses.
Everyone was too shocked to say a word. This was the first time they had seen that child knocked flying by someone!
As the smoke dispersed, it revealed a peerlessly beautiful face. She wore a golden robe and held a golden scepter.
Everyone cried out in surprise!
The newcomer was none other than Spirit Hall's current Pope, Bibi Dong. She had actually entered the fray as well!
The crowd began discussing among themselves.
"Holy shit... even the Pope has made a move."
"First it was Soul Douluo, then Titled Douluo, and now even the Pope has stepped in... this child is way too powerful!"
"This child is finished... once the Pope acts, there is no suspense at all!!"
Listening to their discussions, Bibi Dong's expression was somewhat complicated. In the end, a mere child had caused enough trouble that she, the Pope, had to clean up the mess herself. It was truly humiliating.
Yet she had no choice but to come. Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were Bibi Dong's capable aides, and she did not want two pillars of Spirit Hall to die at the hands of a child. Besides, Spirit Hall had already suffered enough losses. She could not allow him to keep fighting.
"Wow... that hurts, that hurts!"
On the other side, Shi Hao almost immediately got back to his feet after being knocked down. There was anger and shock in his eyes. After so long, this was the first time he had lost to someone in terms of strength!
"Who are you?... Are you also one of Spirit Hall's lackeys!"
Shi Hao looked down at Bibi Dong, his little face filled with fury.
"How dare you! Is the Pope someone you can address by name?" Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo shouted.
When Shi Hao heard the two people on the ground call the scepter-wielding woman the Pope, his face immediately darkened. He said in extreme fury:
"Then you're the leader of Spirit Hall, the one who took my Mother, right!"
"Give my Mother back!"
Bibi Dong did not directly answer Shi Hao's question. Instead, she spoke indifferently.
"I have always considered myself the most gifted genius on the continent, the youngest Pope in the history of Pope's Hall. I possess powerful leadership ability, became a Titled Douluo at a young age, and possess Twin Martial Souls. I could absolutely be called one of the continent's rare geniuses!"
"But compared to you, how could any of the geniuses our continent has produced even be considered geniuses? Your appearance has broken the balance of this continent."
"Perhaps you should never have existed on this continent to begin with. I will not ignore anyone who poses a threat to Spirit Hall, including you!"
"As for your Mother, perhaps Spirit Hall truly did take her, but that is no longer important."
Bibi Dong spoke in a low voice. At this point, right and wrong no longer mattered. Shi Hao had practically ground Spirit Hall's dignity into the dirt.
Bibi Dong could not reconcile with Shi Hao, nor could she let him leave.
"Now, you are an enemy of Spirit Hall. Come!"
As she spoke, Bibi Dong released her Martial Soul, the Death Spider Emperor, along with nine Spirit Rings. The final one was red as well.
Bibi Dong's eyes turned from their normal color to red. The skin of her upper body became covered in a layer of purple-black armor, while a carapace obscured her face. Four smaller eyes grew beneath her two eyes, just like a spider's.
Below her abdomen, her body transformed into a sphere, and eight spider legs grew from it.
Half human, half spider!
This was the transformation Bibi Dong's Martial Soul brought her. It was also because of this strange appearance that Bibi Dong had only acted now!
"This woman... she is really powerful!"
Watching Bibi Dong undergo this transformation, Shi Hao spoke almost instinctively. It was the first time he had felt such pressure from someone else.
This woman was far, far stronger than the people before her. Yet for some reason, Shi Hao had a very strange feeling toward the woman before him.
He found it difficult to feel killing intent toward her!
"Whatever... they said this woman is Spirit Hall's leader. Then if I defeat her, I should be able to save Mother, right?"
Shi Hao regained his fighting spirit. With a stomp of one foot, his eight Spirit Rings—four black and four red—lit up once more.
Feeling unprecedented pressure, Shi Hao did not dare hold anything back. He revealed all his Spirit Rings, and the inscriptions behind him flashed with dazzling brilliance, making everyone unable to open their eyes beneath the light.
Shi Hao's body also began to change, gradually transforming into a small mountain a hundred zhang tall.
"You want to fight... then come on!!!"
