Bibi Dong Exploded—I'm Ranked Fourteenth?!

Bibi Dong's voice carried a trace of hoarseness.

"I've always treated her well, regarded her as a confidante. She has always been close to me—she has no reason to betray me!"

In Bibi Dong's mind, Jing had been personally promoted by her. She was her sharpest blade and her most loyal dog.

Yet today, that dog had turned around and bitten its master—and with such ferocity.

Hu Liena fell silent for a moment before raising her head, a grave look flashing through her beautiful eyes.

"Teacher, I don't think this is so simple."

"Jing acted today by standing with Golden Crocodile Douluo and those Elders. And those Elders have always answered only to Great Enshriner Qian Daoliu."

"I suspect Qian Daoliu, and perhaps even Qian Renxue, are behind this."

"They're the ones stirring up trouble!"

"The Qian Family!"

Bibi Dong chewed over those two words, the fury in her eyes nearly bursting forth and burning the entire Pope Palace to ashes.

"Good. What a fine Qian Family!"

"Damn Qian Daoliu! Damn Qian Renxue! You hid yourselves so deeply, and even left this move for me!"

She had always thought she had thoroughly suppressed the power of the Worship Hall and reduced the Qian Family's influence to its lowest point.

She had never expected them to secretly plant Jing, such a fatal chess piece.

"And that bitch Jing!"

Bibi Dong's nails dug deeply into the throne's armrest, producing a piercing scraping sound.

"Once I recover, I will carve you Qians into a thousand pieces and tear your corpses apart!"

Seeing her teacher in such a rage, Hu Liena felt a chill run through her heart. She steadied herself and asked,

"Teacher, what should we do now?"

Bibi Dong took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the killing intent in her heart. The calculating ruthlessness in her eyes gradually returned.

"What are you panicking for?"

She snorted, confidence appearing on her face.

"Jing may be unreliable now, but Spirit Hall is not yet Qian Daoliu's to command."

"I have long maintained good relations with all the major powers across the continent, especially the Great Tang Empire. Their Empress and I are quite close.

As long as I raise my arm in call, I will surely gain their support. Regaining control of Spirit Hall will be as easy as turning my hand!"

Bibi Dong's tone brimmed with powerful confidence, as though she could already see Qian Daoliu kneeling at her feet and begging for mercy.

However, the instant her words fell, the sky outside the hall suddenly blazed with boundless golden light!

The Heavenly Screen Ranking had changed once more.

Line after line of new golden words clearly entered the eyes of everyone inside the hall.

Bibi Dong instinctively looked up. When she saw the ranking's contents clearly, the confidence on her face instantly froze, replaced by extreme bewilderment.

"What?"

Her voice rose sharply, filled with shock and disbelief.

"Fourteenth place on the Spirit Ranking... Bibi Dong?"

"I... am only fourteenth?"

Bibi Dong's eyes widened as she stared fixedly at the Heavenly Screen, as if she wanted to bore a hole through the ranking notice.

"Is this some kind of joke?!"

"My Soul Devouring Spider Emperor and Death Spider Emperor are both among the continent's finest super Martial Souls! With Twin Martial Souls combined, I'm only ranked fourteenth?!"

To her, this ranking was an even greater insult than Jing's betrayal!

Who was she?

She was the Pope of Spirit Hall! The most outstanding woman in the continent's history!

The future Rakshasa God!

Her talent and her Martial Souls should have been unparalleled, supreme beneath the heavens!

Fourteenth place? Was this Heavenly Screen Ranking humiliating her?!

Bang!

Beside herself with rage, Bibi Dong slammed her hand onto the armrest and abruptly rose to her feet.

The movement was too large and instantly pulled at the wounds all over her body.

"Urgh!"

Tearing agony shot through all four limbs and every bone in her body. She groaned, swayed, and nearly fell again.

"Teacher!"

Hu Liena no longer had time to be shocked and hurried forward to support her.

She looked at the Heavenly Screen, her face equally full of astonishment.

"How is that possible... Teacher's Twin Martial Souls are only ranked fourteenth?"

In Hu Liena's heart, her teacher was synonymous with invincibility. She should have been the one at the top of the ranking.

Just as Bibi Dong was overcome by fury and humiliation, golden reward details began appearing beneath the Heavenly Screen.

Her gaze swept over them, and the pupils that had been filled with rage suddenly contracted.

Then, her wild fury and humiliation were replaced by overwhelming delight.

"Wow! Such generous rewards!"

Even Bibi Dong's voice changed pitch, trembling with excitement.

She stared fixedly at the reward description and read it line by line, her expression growing more and more thrilled.

"Fivefold Spirit Power Solidification... fivefold Spirit Power Solidification!"

She muttered to herself, a sharp light bursting from her eyes.

"I am already a Level 99 Limit Douluo. My Soul Power is as vast as the sea. If it becomes five times more solidified, how terrifying will its quality become? Even a Demigod might not surpass it in Soul Power quality alone!"

Her gaze continued downward. When she saw the second reward, even her breathing became rapid.

"And... all Spirit Rings under my name will be raised to the Hundred Thousand Year level?!"

Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Rings!

Those five words exploded in her mind like thunder.

"My Twin Martial Souls... doesn't that mean I'll gain... eighteen Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Rings at once?!"

Bibi Dong's heart pounded wildly.

She would never forget the enormous price she had paid back then to hunt her first Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring.

She had even been forced to ask Qian Yu—the person she despised most—for help, mobilizing a vast amount of Spirit Hall's manpower and resources.

Only then had she managed, with great difficulty, to hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast deep within the Star Dou Great Forest.

And now, the Heavenly Screen's reward was directly giving her eighteen!

What a terrifyingly lavish reward!

"And... a Godly Skill, Rakshasa Divine Domain!"

When she saw the final reward, Bibi Dong's face was already covered in a fanatical smile.

Without hesitation, she silently chanted in her heart.

"Claim the rewards!"

The instant her words fell, a thick dark-gold pillar of light descended from the sky, piercing through the Pope Palace's dome and precisely enveloping her.

Bzzzz—

An indescribably vast Divine Power surged madly into every part of her body.

The bruises and wounds that had covered her body rapidly faded beneath the washing force of that power, visible to the naked eye. Her smooth skin was restored to its original state.

She could clearly feel an invisible force madly compressing and purifying the Soul Power within her body, making it incomparably condensed and heavy.

At the same time, rings of Spirit Rings emerged behind Bibi Dong.

Purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, red, red.

This was the current Spirit Ring configuration of her Number One Martial Soul, the Death Spider Emperor.

It had already become unimaginably powerful due to the blessing of the divine trial.

Under the illumination of the dark-gold light, the two purple Thousand-Year Spirit Rings and five black Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings rapidly deepened in color.

In the end, they all transformed into scarlet red, as enchanting as fresh blood!
