Long Xiaoyao Delivers an Invitation to Spirit Hall

However, he would still develop electric vehicles later on. For now, though, an ultra-compact power source had yet to be developed.

After teaching some of the underlings how to assemble and ride bicycles, Lin Hao left with Yan Lingji.

Before leaving, he saw the many underlings still circling around the automobile and immediately said:

"Pick a few people to drive the automobile and ride the bicycles around Heaven Dou City to spread the word!

If anyone asks about buying one, tell them to go to the shop and place an order after we open.

As for the price, I'll have Shen Lingmin and the others discuss it carefully over the next few days!"

"Understood, Young Master!"

Xian Lin'er answered with a smile and eagerly climbed into the car, clearly intending to drive it herself!

"Those who weren't chosen should study the assembly process I gave you.

Every vehicle will need to be test-driven for three days before delivery. Everyone will have a chance!"

Lin Hao helplessly added an instruction.

"Thank you, Young Master!"

"Long live Young Master!"

The underlings replied in unison, overjoyed.

After returning with Yan Lingji to the Small Courtyard at Blue Tyrant Academy, Lin Hao had the maids prepare a meal while he chatted with Yan Lingji in the courtyard. Somewhat worried, he said:

"I wonder whether Uncle Long's operation is going smoothly this time. Spirit Hall isn't an easy place to barge into!"

Ever since summoning another group of special underlings, Lin Hao had sent Long Xiaoyao and Jin Peng to hunt Soul Beasts and gather resources. Not long ago, Shen Lingmin had suggested holding an auction.

Lin Hao had then assigned Long Xiaoyao and Jin Peng a task: deliver auction invitations to the major factions!

"Rest assured, Young Master. The Dragon Emperor is a Limit Douluo, while Jin Peng possesses a body martial soul and is incredibly powerful.

Bibi Dong's faction alone can't stop them. Qian Daoliu is shrewd with age and won't offend the Dragon Emperor over this!

Didn't you have the Dragon Emperor reveal his strength precisely for this reason? To reduce the trouble of future development!"

Yan Lingji fed Lin Hao a grape and spoke with a smile.

"That's true. I was overthinking it!"

Lin Hao nodded and continued:

"These grapes are quite tasty, though there aren't enough of them!"

As the two were talking, inside the Papal Hall of Spirit City.

A slender woman dressed in a ceremonial golden gown, wearing a Nine Twists Purple Gold Crown and holding a scepter, sat high upon the throne as she listened to a report from someone below!

This woman was Spirit Hall's current Pope—Bibi Dong. The person reporting to her was a Cardinal Archbishop!

After the Cardinal Archbishop left, Bibi Dong rose just as she was about to stretch when she saw a figure suddenly appear above the Papal Hall!

Before Bibi Dong could speak, a terrifying aura rapidly swept toward her. She immediately erupted with Soul Power, and nine dazzling soul rings appeared in succession!

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Papal Hall!"

Sensing the other party's strength, Bibi Dong did not attack immediately. Instead, she remained on guard while shouting for reinforcements.

"Catch!"

At that moment, the figure also revealed his soul rings. Two red soul rings directly suppressed Bibi Dong's aura.

With a wave of both hands, he sent a golden invitation hurtling toward Bibi Dong, carrying a surge of Soul Power.

This was Long Xiaoyao, who had come to deliver the invitation and flex his strength. After receiving Lin Hao's message, he had come to Spirit Hall first to give Bibi Dong the invitation.

"Impudent!"

Soul Power coursed through Bibi Dong's body. A terrifying force burst from her hands, neutralizing the invitation's impact and allowing her to catch it!

Feeling the discomfort in her arms, Bibi Dong's heart sank. Who exactly was this person? His strength was even greater than that old immortal's!

Once Long Xiaoyao saw that she had accepted the invitation, he withdrew his martial soul, tore through space, and prepared to leave directly!

"Stop! Polar Stillness Domain!"

Two figures suddenly appeared in midair. One wore a golden robe and exuded a feminine aura.

The other wore a black robe, surrounded by black mist and radiating an eerie presence.

They were Bibi Dong's right-hand men, Yue Guan and Gui Mei.

They too sensed how powerful the intruder was, so they immediately used their trump-card Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

"Since that's the case, I'll teach you a lesson!"

Long Xiaoyao snorted coldly and unleashed all of his Soul Power without reservation, instantly shattering the Polar Stillness Domain.

He then fired two successive waves of Soul Power at Yue Guan and Gui Mei, blasting them away. Blood sprayed from their mouths as they crashed heavily onto the ground and slid more than ten meters away!

Having faithfully carried out his Young Master's instructions, Long Xiaoyao did not cause any further trouble and left the Papal Hall directly!

"Your Holiness, who was that?"

Yue Guan and Gui Mei forced themselves upright despite their severe injuries, supporting each other as they asked.

"You're asking me? How would I know? Such a powerful expert has appeared on Douluo Continent, yet we received no news at all. How exactly have you been handling intelligence work?!"

Bibi Dong snorted and snapped angrily.

"Please forgive us, Your Holiness. We have failed in our duties!"

Although intelligence work was not Yue Guan and Gui Mei's responsibility, they wisely admitted fault anyway.

"His martial soul was a black giant dragon, and his eighth and ninth soul rings were both hundred-thousand-year soul rings. Do either of you recognize him?"

Knowing she could not blame them, Bibi Dong asked again.

"This subordinate is ignorant. I have never seen this person!"

Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged glances, then shook their heads together.

"Could he be from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? After all, they are the strongest clan with dragon-type martial souls!"

Yue Guan said uncertainly.

"It's possible. He broke the fusion skill of the two of us without even using his martial soul, so he must be at least a Peak Douluo.

If such an expert had no major faction supporting him, it would be impossible for him to grow to this level."

Gui Mei also chimed in.

"Impossible. He is a Limit Douluo. If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had produced such an expert, they would have long since made sure everyone on Douluo Continent knew about it!"

A meaningful gleam flashed through Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes as she rejected the notion again.

"But if he isn't from a major faction, who could be behind him? And why did he suddenly deliver an invitation?"

Bibi Dong gripped her scepter in her right hand and gazed into the distance, murmuring softly.

Clearly, Long Xiaoyao was simply too powerful. Even she felt a trace of helpless pressure.

"What? A Limit Douluo!"

Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo could not help crying out in shock upon hearing Bibi Dong's words.

Their first reaction was that Her Holiness the Pope was lying, but after giving it some thought, they found it quite possible. That man had broken their Martial Soul Fusion Skill without even summoning his martial soul!

At this moment, Gui Mei suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said:

"Your Holiness, do you remember the great battle in Notting City some time ago?

I recall that the report from our people mentioned someone seeing a hammer fighting a giant dragon.

At the time, we guessed that one side was Tang Hao. I think the other side was very likely this man!"

Without even thinking, Yue Guan immediately retorted:

"Impossible, Old Ghost. With Tang Hao's strength, there's no way he could have fought that man for so long, much less escaped from his hands!"
