"What?"
Ghost Douluo's words caused an uproar throughout the entire Spirit City, and even the subordinates of the Spirit Hall revealed greedy eyes.
Each of these three prizes is an extremely precious item.
The Wind Attribute Left Leg Soul Bone alone is the most precious thing for Soul Master, something that can only be encountered by chance and is extremely rare.
No matter what level Soul Master is, they can't help but have their eyes light up when they see Soul Bone.
As for the second item Space Soul Tool Ring capable of storing 1,000 cubic meters of items, it is priceless.
It should be understood that the manufacturing process of Soul Guidance Device is extremely rudimentary in this world, especially for Space Soul Tool, whose manufacturing process has long been lost and can only be obtained by excavating some ruins.
Most Space Soul Tool have a storage space of only a few cubic meters. Even so, the most ordinary Space Soul Tool is worth hundreds of thousands of Gold Soul Coin.
The spatial ring that Pope Bi Bi Dong took out today, with a capacity of over a thousand cubic meters, can be considered a top-tier Space Soul Tool, and its value is immeasurable!
However, these two prizes are not the most precious. The most precious thing is the Pope Token!
Ghost Douluo just stated that the holder of this Pope Token is an honorary elder of the Spirit Hall!
To become an elder of the Spirit Hall —what an honor, what a position of power! Even if it is just an honorary elder, it is still something that 99% of Soul Master look up to!
If this weren't the Pope's Palace, and if it weren't for the presence of several Title Douluo, greedy individuals would likely have already rushed in to seize these three treasures.
Even Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Hu Liena, with their broad perspectives, couldn't help but feel a sense of unease when they first saw the three prizes in front of them.
Of course, it was only a slight emotional fluctuation.
Compared to the cultivation techniques and God Crystal Zhou Chen gave them, the prizes offered by the Spirit Hall were simply insignificant.
However, the prizes that Dugu Yan and her team looked down upon were coveted treasures that the other participating Soul Master in the three teams were determined to obtain.
A strong fighting spirit surged forth from most of the participating Soul Master almost instantly, such as Tang San.
Seeing that everyone present had been stirred up, Bi Bi Dong nodded in satisfaction.
It was worth it for her to give such a precious prize.
In fact, in the original storyline, the three prizes that Bi Bi Dong presented were all Soul Bone: the Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull, the Flame Right Arm of Explosive Burning, and the Rapid Advance Wind Chasing Left Leg.
Of these three Soul Bones, only the Rapid Advance Wind Chasing Left Leg was obtained by the Spirit Hall during their extermination of the Wolf Bandits. The other two Soul Bone left behind by deceased elders of the Spirit Hall.
However, due to the transmigrators, the Spirit Hall purchased more than twenty Longevity Pill from the Purple Micro Palace, so the two elders who should have died were still alive, and their Soul Bone could not be separated.
Therefore, in order to collect all three prizes, Bi Bi Dong took out her treasured spatial ring and the Pope Token representing the authority of the Spirit Hall.
"Bang!"
A heavy, authoritative sound of a scepter instantly enveloped Spirit City!
In an instant, the entire Spirit City so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Bi Bi Dong glanced at the participating Soul Master from the three teams before her and said calmly, "There can only be one winner, and the same goes for the champion of the Soul Master Tournament. Therefore, these three prizes will belong to the sole champion team. I hope you will give it your all to win this honor."
After a pause, Bi Bi Dong continued, "I hereby announce that the final competition will begin in half an hour."
After saying this, Bi Bi Dong turned around and walked towards the entrance of the Pope's Palace.
There, a row of gilded and jade-inlaid chairs were neatly arranged.
Bi Bi Dong walked to the row of gilded chairs and slowly sat down in the most central position. Then, she gestured with her eyes, and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, and Flander sat down in turn.
Seeing His Holiness the Pope and several Title Douluo take their seats, the cardinal in charge of announcing the names immediately called out loudly, "Please invite the three captains of the Spirit Hall Academy Team, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team, and the Shrek Academy Team to proceed to the drawing lots on the left side of the square to draw lots in turn and confirm the order of the matches."
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena, Dugu Yan, and Yu Tianling each stepped out from their respective groups.
But the next second, something unexpected happened.
Instead of heading towards the drawing station, Dugu Yan stood at the front of the plaza, bowed in the direction of the Pope, and said, "Your His Holiness the Pope, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy forfeits."
Abstain?
These words stunned most of the people present.
The finals are here, and now Heaven Dou Royal Academy is suddenly going to forfeit?
What was the point of overcoming all those obstacles? Was it just to make everyone happy?
Faced with Dugu Yan's request, Bi Bi Dong frowned slightly. Although she was unhappy, as the Pope, she naturally had to be tolerant and could not hold a grudge against a junior.
"Allow!"
Bi Bi Dong said indifferently.
Upon hearing that His Holiness the Pope had agreed, the cardinal presiding over the refereeing duties, after a brief moment of stunned silence, immediately announced that the Heaven Dou Royal Academy had withdrawn from the competition, and the champion would be decided between the Shrek Academy and Spirit Hall Academy.
However, just as the cardinal announced that the competition was about to begin, Liu Erlong, who had been sitting in the Shrek Academy rest area, suddenly stood up, looked at Pope Bi Bi Dong, and shouted:
"Please wait a moment before the match begins."
The cardinal, acting as referee, was about to reprimand Liu Erlong for interrupting the match when Bi Bi Dong raised her hand to stop him.
Bi Bi Dong's gaze towards Liu Erlong was calm, but whether she was truly at peace inside was something only she knew.
After all, because of Yu Xiaogang, the two women had once harbored mutual hatred and had a rather sordid relationship with each other.
Of course, Liu Erlong has long forgotten about that scumbag Yu Xiaogang and has now embraced the warm embrace of the Great Palace Master Zhou.
Please state your reasons.
Bi Bi Dong said calmly.
Liu Erlong smiled coldly and said, "As the dean of the Shrek Academy, I request a temporary change of the competition participants."
If the sudden surrender of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was somewhat acceptable, Liu Erlong's sudden announcement that Shrek Academy would temporarily change its competition personnel before the finals undoubtedly shocked everyone present.
Even the members of the Shrek Team, except for Yu Tianling and Ning Rongrong, including Tang San, all looked surprised and bewildered.
Clearly, even they hadn't expected Liu Erlong to make such a sudden decision.
Upon hearing this, Bi Bi Dong remained calm and composed, saying indifferently, "How do you want to make the change? Or, who do you want to change?"
"The word 'replace' isn't quite accurate. To be precise, Shrek Academy will follow the example of the merger between the Godwind Academy and Blazing Fire Academy, and simultaneously merge with the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Exotic Beast Academy, and Heavenly Water Academy."
Before Liu Erlong could finish speaking, several figures transformed into dazzling streaks of light, shooting out from the rest areas of the various academies and landing on the square in front of the Pope's Palace.
The appearance of these figures immediately caused an uproar among the crowd!
Because these figures are:
Dugu Yan, captain of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team, and Ye Lingling, vice-captain!
Heavenly Water Academy Team captain Shui Binger and vice captain Xue Wu!
And Meng Yiran, the captain of the Exotic Beast Academy team!
Of these five beautiful girls, apart from Xue Wu who is a Soul Emperor, the other girls all have Soul Power Level of 70 or higher!
With the addition of Yu Tianling, the captain of the Shrek Academy Team, and Ning Rongrong, the vice-captain, there are exactly seven people, making it a complete team!
The key is that this seven-person team has gathered five Soul Saints and two Soul Emperors, making them unprecedentedly powerful!
A look of sudden realization flashed across the eyes of Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and the others sitting next to the Pope.
They finally understood what Liu Erlong meant.
This female Tyrannosaurus Rex intends to gather all the elite combat forces of these teams, using the strength of seven people, to fight against Hu Liena, the Spirit Hall Saintess, who has already reached the level of Soul Douluo!
This plan certainly has a high chance of success!
The question now is whether Pope Bi Bi Dong would approve of this loophole-exploiting behavior.
At this moment, Bi Bi Dong's expression was no longer indifferent. Her beautiful eyes narrowed, and she said in a tone devoid of any emotion, "I do not wish to agree to your Shrek Academy's merger plan, but I can give you a chance to explain."
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong sneered and stared directly at Bi Bi Dong, saying, "Your His Holiness the Pope, the Spirit Hall agreed to the merger plan between the Godwind Academy and Blazing Fire Academy. What, now that it's our Shrek Academy's turn, does the Spirit Hall intend to disagree?"
After a pause, Liu Erlong directly questioned, "So, Your His Holiness the Pope, is your Spirit Hall targeting Shrek Academy specifically, or are you always saying one thing to their face and another behind their back?"
Liu Erlong's calm words rang out like a thunderclap in the Pope's Palace.
There was nothing wrong with her words themselves; the problem was that the person he was questioning and contradicting was the supreme ruler of the Spirit Hall, the Pope!
Most of the onlookers, including the Soul Master, were unaware of Liu Erlong's identity. Therefore, they were puzzled: Did this woman have a death wish? What gave her the right to be so arrogant? Just because she was the dean of some worthless academy?
There are plenty of deans from the Soul Master Academy present, but none of them have ever been as arrogant as her!
However, unexpectedly, Bi Bi Dong slowly stood up, nodded to Liu Erlong, and said, "Burning Heaven Douluo is right. Our Spirit Hall should treat everyone equally."
"Since the Spirit Hall has agreed to the merger plan of the Divine Wind and Blazing Fire Academies, we also agree to the merger plan of your Shrek Academy!"
The conversation between Liu Erlong and Pope Bi Bi Dong was witnessed by tens of thousands of Soul Master present.
The fact that the Pope uttered the words "Burning Heaven Douluo" meant only one thing: that Liu Erlong was a Title Douluo with her own unique title!
Now, apart from a few Spirit Hall experts who knew the truth, the entire audience was shocked!
The dean of the Shrek Academy is actually a Title Douluo- level powerhouse?
It's no wonder that those present were ignorant; Shrek Academy had only recently risen to prominence and was not yet well-known.
Furthermore, Zhou Chen had already given orders that Shrek Academy was temporarily prohibited from recruiting students from outside the academy to prevent the loss of educational resources. It could only train young people selected by the Purple Micro Palace. Therefore, to the Soul Master World, Shrek Academy was practically a secluded academy.
As the dean of this secluded academy, the news that Liu Erlong was a titled Douluo was basically impossible to spread. Even within the Purple Micro Palace, only a very small number of people knew this.
Now that they know Liu Erlong is a Title Douluo, everyone present can understand why she dared to refute Pope Bi Bi Dong's words.
Every Soul Master knows the strength and status of a Title Douluo.
These super strong individuals who stand at the top of the Soul Master World's pyramid almost all possess the terrifying ability to destroy mountains and overturn seas, and to fight against ten thousand enemies single-handedly!
Seeing that Bi Bi Dong had agreed to the Shrek Academy's merger plan, the cardinal who was acting as the referee naturally dared not say a word.
The original members of the Shrek Academy also left the field, leaving only Yu Tianling and Ning Rongrong.
Their positions will be taken over by five women, including Dugu Yan.
Even Tang San could only sigh and awkwardly walk back to the rest area.
Who told him he was just a Soul King around level 50?
At this moment, Bi Bi Dong looked at Hu Liena, who was standing in the Spirit Hall Academy Team's position, and suggested after some thought, "Na Na, this time... you should let your teammates go with you."
Bi Bi Dong's suggestion is very reasonable. Shrek Academy's current lineup consists of five Soul Saints and two Soul Emperors, all of whom possess top-tier Martial Soul. Together, they are incredibly powerful!
Although Hu Liena is Soul Douluo of level 80 or above, she is still alone. If she goes into battle alone as before, she may not have much of a chance of winning.
However, faced with Bi Bi Dong's suggestion, Hu Liena resolutely shook her head, her gaze firm, and said, "Teacher, I will still go on alone. I will defend the honor of the Spirit Hall."
Upon hearing this, Bi Bi Dong sighed inwardly and did not offer any further advice.
After all, Hu Liena was her apprentice, and she naturally knew how resolute Hu Liena's personality was. There was no way that this girl would change her mind just because of her persuasion.
Meanwhile, in the square in the Pope's Palace, Hu Liena stood alone, facing off against seven women: Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Meng Yiran, Yu Tianling, Ning Rongrong, Shui Binger, and Xue Wu.
Faced with Hu Liena's sharp gaze, Dugu Yan and the other girls lowered their heads guiltily.
Previously, for the safety of the girls, Hu Liena had visited them at the Angel Hotel and revealed a lot of inside information about the Spirit Hall to them.
But their actions today have truly harmed Hu Liena; it's an act of repaying kindness with enmity.
Dugu Yan and the others didn't want to do this, but since the Purple Micro Palace and the Spirit Hall were already enemies, Dugu Yan naturally didn't want to lose to the Spirit Hall Team.
However, as sisters in the same harem, Dugu Yan felt very sorry for Hu Liena.
However, while I apologize, it's difficult to ask them to go easy on me during the competition.
Because Hu Liena represents the Spirit Hall.
In the adult world, stance is more important than emotion.
All they could do was ensure that Hu Liena's life was not in danger during the match.
