Feeling unprecedented pressure, Shi Hao did not dare hold anything back. He revealed all of his Spirit Rings, and the inscriptions behind him flashed brilliantly, their light so dazzling that everyone could not keep their eyes open.
Shi Hao's body gradually changed, little by little becoming a small mountain hundreds of feet tall. His aura grew ever stronger, as if he could contend with heaven and earth.
"You want to fight? Then come on!!!"
Shi Hao's voice boomed like thunder. Like a war god, he charged straight at Bibi Dong with incomparable momentum. Though his body had become so enormous, he was still as fast as lightning, arriving before Bibi Dong in the blink of an eye.
Bibi Dong frowned slightly, surprise flashing through her eyes. With a stomp of one foot, she shot toward Shi Hao like an arrow. A surging wave of purple energy billowed from her body, sweeping across the entire arena.
Without hesitation, she threw a punch. It contained boundless power and carried an unstoppable force.
Shi Hao did not retreat either. His fist flashed with golden light as it slammed fiercely into Bibi Dong's. In an instant, a deafening boom echoed through the air, forming a powerful shockwave that blasted everything around them away.
Shi Hao was sent seven or eight steps back, while Bibi Dong took only one step back. Clearly, Bibi Dong held an obvious advantage in strength. After all, the gap in their Soul Power was simply too great!!!
"Ah!!!!"
"Again!!!"
Yet Shi Hao was not discouraged in the slightest. On the contrary, his fighting spirit grew even fiercer. Roaring, he threw another punch and attacked Bibi Dong again. Every blow was filled with endless strength, making even the air tremble.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong had no choice but to keep punching back. Her fist technique was exquisitely refined, and every strike contained profound Soul Power.
Boom! Boom... Countless fist shadows continuously flashed across the arena. Each one radiated terrifying pressure, allowing everyone to feel just how intense this battle was.
"This child is too monstrous... He can actually fight His Holiness the Pope to this extent. He is at a slight disadvantage, but not by much."
"Indeed... After all, this child is only an eight-ring Soul Douluo, while His Holiness the Pope is a Level 99 Peerless Douluo!!!"
"Sigh... But no matter what, this child is definitely doomed to lose. His Holiness the Pope has not even used any other soul skills yet. She is already suppressing that child through a simple contest of strength."
The crowd watched the battle and discussed it heatedly.
But only Bibi Dong knew the truth: she was already beginning to struggle, because Shi Hao was somehow growing braver the longer he fought.
His strength had been steadily rising, each punch heavier than the last... Though the increase was not obvious, how could it possibly escape her notice?
"Is that talent brought to him by that Martial Soul?"
Bibi Dong looked at the shining runes behind Shi Hao and that piece of bone, her beautiful eyes shifting slightly.
What exactly was this Martial Soul? Why did it feel even more monstrous than the Qian Clan's Six-winged Angel Martial Soul!!!
No... I can't keep competing with this child in strength. If this continues, I may not even be his match in terms of strength!!
Bibi Dong thought to herself and had already decided to change tactics.
She threw a punch with all her strength, sending Shi Hao flying, then rapidly retreated herself.
"Again... Again... Again!"
Shi Hao was blasted away, but he immediately got back to his feet and prepared to charge at Bibi Dong. That battle just now had felt so good. He truly loved that kind of all-out fight, as if his blood were burning!
At that moment, Bibi Dong suddenly said,
"Child, I still have to tell you this: Spirit Hall did not capture your Mother. I can guarantee it in my capacity as the Pope of Spirit Hall..."
Shi Hao immediately stopped and shouted angrily,
"Impossible... Father said it was Spirit Hall that captured Mother and forced our family apart. Father would never lie to me."
Bibi Dong did not get angry and merely continued.
"Although Spirit Hall probably did not take your Mother, as the foremost force on the Douluo Continent, we have always been committed to serving commoners. You can tell me your Mother's distinguishing features, or perhaps describe your Father. Maybe I can use Spirit Hall's power to help you search for your Mother."
Bibi Dong's voice was gentle, and her attitude was sincere, as though she truly meant it.
"Your Holiness the Pope..."
Chrysanthemum Douluo, standing nearby, was dumbfounded when he heard this. What did she mean by saying this now? Was she seeking peace?
That should not have been the case. Bibi Dong had just suppressed Shi Hao; if they continued, Shi Hao would certainly lose. Chrysanthemum Douluo could not understand Bibi Dong's actions.
The commoners of Spirit City watching from the side were likewise full of confusion as they looked at the scene.
They had fought to such an extent just moments ago, so why was she saying this now?
Hearing Bibi Dong's seemingly sincere words, Shi Hao's little face could not help sinking into thought.
"Could it be... Father remembered wrong? Spirit Hall did not kidnap Mother?"
Shi Hao was somewhat uncertain too. Otherwise, why would this woman suddenly try to reason with him? To be honest, Shi Hao himself knew that he would have a hard time defeating her.
Unless he could keep fighting... Fight for a day and a night, allowing his strength to reach its limit. Only then would he have a chance.
"My Soul Power is currently Level 86... If I broke through to Titled Douluo, maybe I wouldn't have this problem."
Shi Hao frowned and muttered softly. He had already eaten every last Gourd Shell on the way here, and after battle after battle... his Soul Power had only reached the level of the eighties.
Though that was already very fast, it was still not enough. Spirit Hall had far, far too many powerful experts... He could not fight them all.
"If you can really help me find Mother, then I won't fight anymore." Shi Hao looked at Bibi Dong, somewhat tempted.
"Oh?" Bibi Dong raised her brows. "Then tell me what your Mother and Father look like. Let me see whether I can find them."
"My Mother is called Xiao Xue... She is very, very beautiful, kind, and gentle. She loves Father very much. And Father is very, very handsome and incredibly good. Every day, he fertilizes us... waters us, and tells us stories. He is the best Father in the whole world." Shi Hao spoke with a serious expression.
After saying that, Shi Hao withdrew some of his fighting intent and looked at Bibi Dong, seemingly waiting for her to speak.
Hearing Shi Hao's words, Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes filled with surprise. What kind of description is that... Aren't all loving couples like that? And how are beauty and handsomeness supposed to be judged? As their child, it is perfectly normal for you to think your parents are good-looking.
And... what the hell does fertilizing and watering mean?
Bibi Dong felt that this child was talking nonsense, and she could not help feeling both confused and curious.
