Before Pope's Hall, Bibi Dong Appears

In the dead of night, it seemed no one noticed that more than a dozen unidentified figures had infiltrated Spirit City. But those who knew them would be utterly astonished.

The Clear Sky Sect, which had been in seclusion for over a decade, has surprisingly reappeared in the world!

The athletes preparing for the competition seemed completely unaware of this.

Spirit City, contestant area, Shrek Academy barracks.

"Damn, this is absolutely outrageous!!"

Dai Mubai slammed the cup in his hand to the ground and roared.

Just now, the Spirit Hall announced the team information for this competition, which shocked the other two teams that made it to the finals.

Captain:??? Strength:???

Vice Captain: Yan Strength: Level 66 Assault Type Battle Spirit Emperor

Team Member: Hu Liena Strength: Level 63 Control-type Battle Spirit Emperor

Team Member: Xie Yue Strength: Level 64 Assault Type Battle Spirit Emperor

Team Member: Zhang Ping Strength: Level 52 Agility Attack System Battle Soul King

Team Member: Xu Yu Strength: Level 53 Support Type Soul King

Team Member: Li Kai Strength: Level 52 Assault Type Battle Soul King

Team Member: Sun Chuantao Strength: Level 49, Assault Type Battle Soul Ancestor

The Spirit Hall's Golden Generation was entirely composed of experts at the Soul Emperor level! And the captain, whose identity was unknown, exerted an immense pressure on the Shrek Academy students!

Don't panic.

Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang quickly stepped in to stabilize the situation and calmly analyzed the situation.

"The Golden Generation's strength is indeed terrifying. Even with Tianxin and the others' Four-in-One Fusion Skill after receiving my guidance, it only forced out Yan's true strength. The other two members of the Golden Generation didn't even make a move from beginning to end."

"I understand your lack of confidence after seeing such a gap in strength, but you can't give up until the very last moment, little monsters!"

"We still have a trump card that can turn the tide. Believe in your captain, believe in yourselves!"

"The Teacher is right."

Tang San picked up the conversation and looked at everyone seriously.

"This continent-wide elite tournament for advanced Soul Master Academy is more than just a competition; it is incredibly important to each and every one of us."

This is the last chance.

Tang San said in a deep voice, and Dai Mubai nodded in agreement.

"Regardless, we've come this far, everyone should give it their all."

"Come on!"

Inside the camp of the Star Luo Royal Academy.

Dai Weisi's face was ashen. He naturally knew Yan. Back in the Secret Realm of Star Luo City, he had used a burst of White Tiger Blazing Light Wave to beat Yan, who was climbing a mountain, into submission.

The two had a grudge from before, and now that they were enemies meeting, their eyes were filled with hatred. Of course, the result was that he would be beaten up by Yan.

Yan was already level 66, while he had only just broken through to Soul King and reached level 52 by absorbing Soul Ring. Even with the support of the Hell White Tiger, it was difficult for him to withstand the attacks of three Soul Emperors.

He no longer had much confidence in defeating the Spirit Hall Academy, but fortunately, this time their Star Luo Royal Academy team's focus was not on defeating the Spirit Hall, but on defeating Shrek Academy and Dai Mubai.

As long as he defeats his more talented younger brother Dai Mubai, even if he ultimately loses to the Spirit Hall Academy Team, which is equipped with three Soul Emperors, Dai Tianfeng will never blame him, and his position as successor will not be challenged.

"Zhu Yun, I have a plan."

Dai Weisi spoke to Zhu Zhuyun beside him, and the two of them had already made arrangements for the upcoming matches.

Meanwhile, the eight members of the Spirit Hall Team remained calm and composed, having already secured their invincibility.

The individual Promotion Round are a round-robin format, meaning both the Shrek Academy Team and the Star Luo Royal Academy Team will have to play against the Spirit Hall Team once. One-on-one battles are a strong suit of the Spirit Hall Team.

Imagine if Yan, at level 66, stood on the stage and roared, "Yan of the Spirit Hall Team is here!" Who would dare to cause trouble? I doubt the two teams combined could muster even one person willing to come up and fight.

Therefore, the Spirit Hall Team is already in an invincible position and doesn't need to care about the weak fight between the remaining two teams. They can just wait quietly for the final championship match.

The day passed quickly, and the fifth round of the Grand Finals arrived as scheduled in the afternoon.

Su He stood up, looking refreshed.

Donning a mask and his favorite Lion-patterned Black Gold Robe, he led the Golden Generation and four other team members out of the tent and headed towards the Pope's Hall, under Qian Renxue's somewhat lingering gaze.

The final Grand Finals was held at the entrance of the Pope's Hall, and spectators were not allowed to watch.

The Spirit Hall students' team was the first to arrive at the Pope's Hall, followed by the Star Luo Royal Academy Team, and finally the Shrek Academy Team, which arrived late.

The other two teams couldn't help but focus their attention on Su He, who was standing in front of Yan and wearing a mask. This captain of the Spirit Hall Academy Team, who had never appeared before, finally revealed his true form.

Whether it was the Shrek Academy students, Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun from the Star Luo Royal Academy, or Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin watching from above, they all felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing this black-robed figure.

However, the latter's control over his aura was so precise that even without looking at the mask, they could not discern Su He's identity.

The square in the Pope's Hall was paved with ten shimmering stones, giving it a simple yet sacred appearance. As the three groups had already entered the area, a group of people emerged from the Pope's Hall.

They were twelve Red Cardinal, second only to the Platinum Bishop in rank, six standing on each side. The one in the lead shouted:

"Welcome, Your His Holiness the Pope!"

"Long live! Long live! Long live!"

Three loud shouts rang out simultaneously from various parts of Spirit City, demonstrating just how high Pope Bibi Dong's prestige was.

The gates opened, Bibi Dong, dressed in magnificent attire and holding a scepter, slowly walked out of the hall and onto the high platform.

She wore a purple-gold crown and a beautiful, shimmering gold robe, giving her an imposing presence.

"Greetings, Your His Holiness the Pope!"

Everyone from the Spirit Hall, including Su He, knelt on one knee and bowed towards Bibi Dong's position.

It's not that Su He respects Bibi Dong a person; what he respects is the identity of the Pope of the Spirit Hall and the prestige that the Pope represents for the Spirit Hall.

This is a matter of principle, and Su He wouldn't be foolish enough to act recklessly or wildly at a time like this.

Behind Bibi Dong, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Sword Douluo Chen Xin also slowly walked out. They were among the few powerful individuals qualified to enter and exit this door.

Apart from Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun, who bowed, the rest of the Star Luo Royal Academy members knelt on one knee and paid homage to Bibi Dong. Only the Shrek Academy group seemed to be declaring their fearlessness of authority, as none of them bowed and they simply stood there, instantly becoming the focus of the entire scene.
