The next day—
The finals were about to begin, and at the same time, the veil shrouding the final reward and the breathtakingly beautiful Pontiff would finally be revealed.
This was what countless spectators had looked forward to most after hearing the news. According to reliable rumors, the current Pontiff, Bibi Dong, was known as the most beautiful woman under heaven. How could they not come to catch a glimpse of such a noble and gorgeous woman?
The only slight disappointment was that the weather was rather gloomy today, making it hard to feel excited.
Even so, strengthened by some mysterious power, the Pontiff's Palace remained dazzlingly resplendent, seeming utterly out of place in this dark world while drawing every eye.
At that moment, before the Pontiff's Palace, two rows of palace-guarding knights stood in perfect formation from the entrance all the way down the mountain. Clad in gleaming silver armor and holding heavy knightly greatswords, they made the area before the Pontiff's Palace even more solemn and imposing.
Naturally, not just anyone could set foot before such an imposing Pontiff's Palace. Only the strong and young prodigies were qualified to step onto the square before it.
The so-called spectators could only watch the match through projection Soul Tools from the outer perimeter.
At that moment, the doors of the Pontiff's Palace opened. The ones opening them were actually two Titled Douluo elders. While the spectators marveled at Spirit Hall's profound foundations, they grew even more eager for Bibi Dong's appearance.
At that moment, one of the palace-guarding knights at the front called out loudly.
"His Holiness the Pontiff has arrived!"
The words were like a spark tossed into boiling oil. Across Spirit City, every spectator watching the event erupted into cheers of "Long live the Pontiff!"
