Breakthrough to Level 36! Lin Yu Challenges the Trio of Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan

Meanwhile.

Inside Bibi Dong's residence.

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan stood before Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong swirled the red wine in her glass and said impassively, "That brat Lin Yu claims he'll be able to defeat you within half a year. Nana, what do the three of you think about that?"

"Heh!"

All three sneered disdainfully.

Although they had been deeply shocked upon learning that Lin Yu was an Inheritor of God, and had realized that they were not geniuses on the same level as him.

Could someone not even eight years old defeat them within half a year?

What a ridiculous joke!

Yan said arrogantly, "Hmph! Your Holiness the Pope, he may be an Inheritor of God, and our talent may indeed be far inferior to his, but defeating us in half a year? That's nothing but wishful thinking!"

"He's nothing right now!"

"I, Yan, could crush Lin Yu with ease!"

Xie Yue likewise said with disdain, "Lin Yu has only just returned from the Star Dou Great Forest. His Soul Power is at most just above level twenty, while Yan and I have long since become Soul Elders. Him wanting to defeat us truly is wishful thinking—arrogant and overconfident."

"Heh, does this Lin Yu think he can trample all over us just because he's an Inheritor of God? Then he's gravely mistaken. The three of us are also top geniuses among Spirit Hall's Core Disciples!" Hu Liena said furiously.

Suppressing the displeasure in her heart, she continued, "That day in the main hall, that brat Lin Yu actually dared to speak so disrespectfully and insult you!"

"Please rest assured, Teacher. When the time comes, your disciple will definitely teach him a proper lesson on your behalf!"

"I'll make him pay for the insults he hurled at you in the main hall that day!"

The moment she recalled how Lin Yu had dared to call her a white-eyed wolf in front of all the higher-ups, Bibi Dong's fury surged. Yet she did not show it before the three of them, merely nodding in satisfaction. "Nana, my good disciple."

"It's good that you have such confidence. In half a year, that brat will at most be around level twenty-five, while all of you will already be three-ring Soul Elders by then. No matter how powerful he is, he will not be your match."

"However, you must not let your guard down. Until your battle with Lin Yu, you must continue cultivating diligently."

Bibi Dong had great faith in Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan, because all three were geniuses she had focused on nurturing. She knew their strength and ability were far beyond those of the other Core Disciples.

Hu Liena was currently eleven and a half years old, with Soul Power at level twenty-nine.

Xie Yue was currently thirteen and a half years old, at level thirty-four.

Yan was currently thirteen and a half years old, at level thirty-four.

As she spoke, a trace of coldness flashed through Bibi Dong's eyes. She instantly crushed the wineglass in her hand, a vicious expression appearing on her face as she said, "When the time comes, crush him beneath your feet. It would be best if you could severely shatter his confidence as a genius and leave a psychological shadow behind!"

Bibi Dong did not dare have Hu Liena's trio scheme to accidentally kill Lin Yu during the fight.

Even if it were an accident, Hu Liena's trio would still be crippled by the Worship Hall.

But she could have Hu Liena shatter Lin Yu's confidence and his heart as a genius.

If a genius suffered a severe blow to their confidence and was left with a psychological shadow.

It would be equivalent to weakening that genius's talent.

If I can make a genius become dispirited and listless after suffering such a blow, that would be quite interesting indeed. Children of seven or eight are especially susceptible to such blows. Hehehe! Bibi Dong sneered inwardly.

Time passed swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

Within the Angel Tribe Territory.

Lin Yu's Soul Power finally broke through from the peak of level thirty-five to level thirty-six!

He slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath. "Whew!"

"It's time to defeat Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan."

"This battle will also be my rise to fame in the Papal Palace. When the time comes, I'll show those people who doubt me exactly how I'll crush them!" Lin Yu clenched his fists tightly, filled with fighting spirit.

He rose to his feet and shouted, "Someone!"

"Pass on my order! Inform Pope Bibi Dong that three days from now, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan are to face me in the duel arena for a decisive battle!"

"Yes, Young Clan Leader!"

An Angel Tribe member outside the door immediately relayed Lin Yu's words to Bibi Dong.

"What did you say? He wants to challenge Hu Liena's trio in three days?"

Bibi Dong was stunned when she received the news.

She had thought Lin Yu would issue the challenge after half a year, but only a month had passed?

"Good, good, good! Very good! I truly never expected that brat to be so arrogant and conceited!"

"I gave you a year, yet you insist on doing it in one month. When Hu Liena crushes you beneath her feet, you'll have no one to blame but yourself!"

"Qian Renxue, Qian Renxue, you originally had the chance to remain in Spirit Hall for another two years. But you just had to end up with such an arrogant brat. It seems that in three days, you'll be destined to obediently return to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace and continue your infiltration." Bibi Dong sneered and immediately gave the order:

"Pass down the order! Notify all higher-ups still in Spirit City to watch the battle at the duel arena three days from now!"

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope!"

The matter swiftly spread among the upper ranks.

Upon learning the news, all of Spirit Hall's higher-ups were shocked. They truly had not expected Lin Yu to issue a challenge after only one month.

Wasn't he just throwing his life away? Wasn't he?

The battle three days later concerned whether Qian Renxue would continue her infiltration of Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, so every high-ranking official would be present.

Three days later!

1:50 in the afternoon.

Under the moderately warm weather.

Inside the Papal Palace's dueling arena, aside from the Seven Great Worships, who had not appeared.

Today, Bibi Dong, all of Spirit Hall's Titled Elders, and all core upper-echelon members had arrived.

Including the newly appointed elders Dugu Bo and Lin Tian.

As well as Dugu Yan, who had already become a Core Disciple of the Papal Palace.

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan had also been waiting here early on.

Besides them, quite a few Core Disciples were now watching, while a large number of others were rushing over.

"Hey, hey, hey! Did you hear? Lin Yu is challenging Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan on the dueling platform."

"Huh? Challenging Hu Liena and the others? Isn't Lin Yu just courting death?"

"Who knows? But I heard all the elders and higher-ups have come."

"No, does Lin Yu have some reason for challenging Hu Liena and the others? Otherwise, there's no way all the higher-ups would come to watch them fight, right?"

"Don't know. In any case, this definitely isn't simple. Their victory or defeat must concern something."

"Are we going to watch?"

"Of course we are!"

"Come on, let's go!"

1:55 in the afternoon.

The spectator stands around the dueling arena were already packed.

Lin Yu's challenge of Hu Liena and the other two had neither been declared a closed battle nor announced as public.

Bibi Dong had chosen to tacitly allow these Core Disciples to watch. She wanted Lin Yu to lose and utterly humiliate himself before everyone!

"Hey, it's almost two. Is Lin Yu even coming?"
