Shock! A Level 30 Soul Grandmaster Aims to Destroy Spirit Hall

This realization was even more absurd and shocking than everything that had come before combined.

[World's Number One Princess: We... we're characters in a storybook?]

Ning Rongrong felt like her little brain simply could not process this anymore.

[Little Fox Demon: H-how could that be possible?]

Li Yifei did not try to explain complicated concepts like parallel worlds or informational projections.

He merely used an explanation that was easiest for them to understand and accept.

At the same time, it gave him the perfect excuse for his omniscience.

To make this "setting" more convincing, he decided to toss out another piece of "plot."

[Li Yifei: For example, I can see a glimpse of the future.]

[Li Yifei: In the future of that storybook, the master we discussed today will soon break through the bottleneck that has held him back his entire life with an Immortal Herb called the 'Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma,' successfully advancing to Level 30.]

An Immortal Herb?

Dugu Yan's eyes immediately lit up.

Another Immortal Herb! Brother Yifei really did possess extraordinary knowledge of Immortal Herbs!

Meanwhile, the dead-silent hearts of Liu Erlong and Bibi Dong stirred with the faintest, almost imperceptible ripple at the words "break through Level 30."

He... had finally broken through after all?

Yet Li Yifei's next words utterly crushed that faint, complicated emotion that had just arisen within them into dust.

[Li Yifei: Then, not long after becoming a 'super expert' in his thirties, he went alone to your Spirit Hall's Pope's Palace.]

[Li Yifei: He said to the Pope at the time, 'Although my disciple and your Spirit Hall have an irreconcilable hatred, you cannot touch him. If you do, you will become enemies with me, Yu Xiaogang! Have you thought through the consequences of making an enemy of me?']

In a flat, emotionless tone, Li Yifei recounted this "future."

[Li Yifei: In the end, he even warned the Pope that if your Spirit Hall dared touch his disciple, he should be careful, because I will destroy your Spirit Hall.]

The Chat Group.

Once again fell into deathly silence.

Everyone was left speechless by that description.

A... Soul Grandmaster in his thirties.

Going to the headquarters of Spirit Hall, the continent's foremost power, guarded by Titled Douluo and even possessing a Deity's inheritance.

To threaten the current Pope.

Saying he would... destroy Spirit Hall?

[Li Yifei: Tsk tsk, how brave.]

[Li Yifei: A super expert in his thirties spouting such grand words in Spirit Hall, saying he would destroy Spirit Hall.]

Li Yifei's two remarks were like two resounding slaps across the face of everyone who heard them.

At last, Ning Rongrong's voice, filled with pure shock, shattered the strange silence.

[World's Number One Princess: Hiss—]

[World's Number One Princess: A... a super expert in his thirties? Isn't that... isn't that the same level as Butler Fu, who sweeps the floors at my house?]

[World's Number One Princess: How terrifying!]

Ning Rongrong's exclamation was like a signal.

In an instant, it detonated the pent-up absurdity within the Chat Group.

[Little Fox Demon: Pfft... cough cough cough! Butler Fu? The one who sweeps floors?]

Hu Liena felt as though she was about to laugh herself breathless.

The image had already formed in her mind.

An old man holding a broom pointing at her teacher's nose and arrogantly shouting, "Bibi Dong! If you dare touch my people, I'll tear down your Pope's Palace!"

The image was far too comical, and far too outrageous.

[A Little Goose: A man in his thirties... dared to challenge Spirit Hall? My grandfather is over Level 90, and even he has to be polite when he goes to Spirit Hall. Was this master... kicked in the head by a Soul Beast?]

Dugu Yan showed no mercy in her ridicule.

[Ghost Cat: ...His courage is commendable.]

Zhu Zhuqing's assessment was as concise as ever, but everyone could hear the mockery within it.

[Little Ice Cube: Perhaps... this is the confidence of a Theory Master?]

Even Shui Bing'er's cool voice carried a trace of teasing.

The young girls' discussion was like a joyous feast.

They laughed without restraint at the protagonist of that "storybook," that "master" whose arrogance knew no bounds.

And every burst of laughter from that feast was like a scorching steel needle piercing Bibi Dong's and Liu Erlong's hearts.

Liu Erlong slumped to the ground, her eyes vacant.

She could almost see that scene.

The man she had loved for her entire life stood before the woman she hated most, spouting the most arrogant and foolish words.

That was not strength.

That was not confidence.

That was merely a clown, using one last bout of madness to conceal the inferiority and incompetence etched into his bones.

What she felt was not pride, nor anger, but... bone-deep shame.

Within Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong's body trembled slightly.

Not from fear, but from extreme fury and humiliation.

Wasn't the Pope in that "future" Li Yifei described... herself?

She had actually... been threatened at knifepoint by a Soul Grandmaster in his thirties?

And warned that Spirit Hall would be destroyed?

This was the most vicious, most cruel insult to her as the Pope!

Just then, a curious voice spoke up in the Group Chat.

It was Xiao Wu.

Unlike Ning Rongrong and the others, she did not harbor any deep-rooted contempt for Yu Xiaogang.

She was simply curious about what happened next in this "storybook."

[ Bunny Is So Cute: Then... what happened afterward? ]

[ Bunny Is So Cute: Did that Master... make it out of Spirit Hall in the end? ]

That question brought the laughter in the Group Chat to an abrupt halt.

That was right.

After saying such outrageous things, what happened to him in the end?

Was he slapped to death by the Pope?

Or hacked to death by Spirit Hall's guards?

Everyone turned their eyes toward Li Yifei, awaiting his verdict.

Li Yifei did not answer immediately.

His thoughts paused in the Group Chat for a moment, as though he were choosing his words.

Then, he sent a sentence that scared everyone—especially Bibi Dong—out of their wits.

[ Li Yifei: Make it out of Spirit Hall? ]

[ Li Yifei: He did far more than merely make it out of Spirit Hall. ]

[ Li Yifei: He swaggered in and walked out completely unscathed. ]

What?!

This outcome exceeded everyone's expectations.

[ World's Number One Princess: Completely unscathed?! Are you kidding me? ]

Ning Rongrong was the first to voice her disbelief.

[ World's Number One Princess: Someone at Sweeping Grandpa's level pointed at the Pope of Spirit Hall and cursed her out, even threatening to tear down her home, yet the Pope of Spirit Hall actually let him go just like that? This Pope... has far too good a temper, doesn't she? Or... is she actually a pushover? ]

A pushover?

Those three words struck Bibi Dong's chest like a heavy hammer.

She, Bibi Dong—the youngest and most forceful Pope in the history of Douluo Continent—was being called... a pushover?
