A different grand final
Seeing the blood trickling from Qian Renxue's lips, Bibi Dong paused, her imposing aura momentarily weakening before she asked with a vacant look, "Do you understand?"
"Disciple understands. After today, disciple will never contact Ye Qinghe again." Qian Renxue lowered her head, her eyes obscured by shadows.
Extreme resentment made her clench her fists, her shoulders trembling slightly. Tears involuntarily streamed down her face.
Bibi Dong, having been Qian Renxue's teacher for over a decade, still harbored some affection for her. Seeing her like this, she sighed softly and stepped forward to help her up, saying, "I know what you're thinking, and I know you're doing this for your teacher's sake, but I have my own plans. If you meet someone you like someday, I won't interfere!"
"I understand, teacher." Bibi Dong's gentleness made Qian Renxue feel a little better, but she still hated Ye Qinghe to the core.
After Bibi Dong left, Qian Renxue gritted her teeth and said, "Ye Qinghe, we'll see."
[Qian Renxue's resentment +88888]
[Qian Renxue's resentment +188888]
[Qian Renxue's resentment +288888]
[Qian Renxue's favorability -30, current favorability -30. Congratulations, host, you have received three chances to draw a prize.]
On the other side, Ye Qinghe did not see Bibi Dong go to find Qian Renxue.
But deep down, I had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
Seeing Qian Renxue's emotional value rising rapidly, she even offered three chances to win a prize.
He was secretly overjoyed.
Including the ten chances Ning Fengzhi provided before, he now has thirteen chances to win the lottery.
The emotional value has approached 500 million in the two months since the start of the Soul Master Tournament, thanks to the contributions of those treacherous Shrek Academy students.
That's enough for him, Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, Bibi Dong to achieve the throne of a god in the future.
As for Bibi Dong's Rakshasa Godhood, it would be a good choice to use it to tease Little Scumbag in the future.
"The system gave me ten consecutive draws."
[Ding, High-level Martial Soul Upgrade Card.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a 100,000-year upgrade card for your Ninth Soul Ring (which can upgrade your Ninth Soul Ring to 100,000 years)]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received 100 Gold Soul Coin]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received 100 Gold Soul Coin.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a 30,000-year Soul Bone Enhancement Card (can increase the age of Soul Bone Soul Bone except growth-type soul bones by 30,000 years).]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a Soul Tool Bracelet.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received 100 Gold Soul Coin]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a bottle of Youth Preservation Pills (containing three pills)]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received 100 Gold Soul Coin]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received 100 Gold Soul Coin]
"High-level Martial Soul Enhancement Card, Ninth Soul Ring Enhancement Card, 30,000-Year Soul Bone Enhancement Card, Soul Tool Bracelet, and Youth-Preserving Pill? It's not entirely useless."
High-level Martial Soul Enhancement Cards can be given to subordinates, and the Ninth Soul Ring Enhancement Card can be used to recruit Titled Douluo with potential or those who can help him in the future.
The 30,000-year Soul Bone hint card can increase the age of Ye Lingling's Head Soul Bone the illusion realm.
The more Storage Soul Tool and youth-preserving pills you have, the better.
"System, continue extraction."
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the 99,000-year-old Soul Bone Adaptive Set Soul Bone (six pieces combined can form a Soul Bone Set Armor)]
"Soul Bone Armor Set?"
Ye Qinghe's eyes lit up instantly. This was a treasure. If he hadn't already absorbed a growth-oriented Head Soul Bone, he would have been tempted by it.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the "I Love A Stick" recipe.]
"Leave it to that Little Scumbag from now on."
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained 3 Senzu Beans from the Dragon Ball world.]
"That's good; it can be used to save your life."
Ye Qinghe nodded inwardly. After extracting some potentially useful items, he began cultivating the Qi Scripture.
Currently, under the influence of the Qi Scripture, he is able to simultaneously unleash the Nine Nether Mysterious Heaven Skill and the Tiangang Formula, both of which he has cultivated to the sixth level, and completely fuse them to form his own Martial Soul Fusion Skill; it's only a matter of time.
Nothing more was said that night.
The next day, the Qualifying Match began. Ye Qinghe had no interest in these Qualifying Match because there was no one he could fight against, so he simply let Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, Yu Feng, Osler, and the Shi Brothers perform.
During this time, Dugu Yan did fight a few matches with great interest, but after repeatedly defeating seven opponents in a row and realizing that there were no ones she could fight, she simply followed Ye Qinghe's example and devoted all her time to cultivation.
Zhu Zhuqing, on the other hand, grew stronger with each battle, truly shining in the Qualifying Match. She not only defeated the main forces of the Four Elements Academy — Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang Shui Bing'er, and Yu Tianxin —but also defeated all the members of Shrek.
As for Tang San, surprisingly, just like Ye Qinghe, he did not appear again.
And so, as expected, the Imperial Fighting Team finished the Qualifying Match with a perfect record and first place.
After the Qualifying Match comes the Grand Finals.
In the original story, the Spirit Hall temporarily changed the venue for the Grand Finals to Spirit City because Tang San revealed his Twin Martial Souls.
They planned to eliminate Tang San on their way to the Spirit Hall.
In his previous life, Blue Star had criticized this plan as foolish more than once.
If you're going to kill someone, just do it openly and honestly. Tang San killed the remnants of the Clear Sky Sect Douluo were the former Pope's personal bodyguard, and that's enough. I believe no one would be willing to make an enemy of the Spirit Hall for that.
Or you could assassinate him in a secluded place.
What kind of ambush is this?
Not only did they lose their legitimacy, but they also ruined the Spirit Hall's millennia-old reputation.
That's absolutely stupid.
Of course, it's also possible that Bibi Dong did this intentionally, since she was a complete madwoman in the original novel.
Now, Bibi Dong is completely focused on Ye Qinghe and longs to be with him forever, so this foolish plan is naturally no longer viable.
Therefore, the venue for the Grand Finals was set in Heaven Dou City.
Furthermore, in order to demonstrate the so-called majesty of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Ye followed the example of the previous two Star Luo Empire, which held the Grand Finals at the Star Luo Imperial Palace, Spirit Hall, which held the Grand Finals at the square in the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
The Grand Finals were held in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
For this reason, the advancing teams of the Heaven Dou Empire and its various affiliated duchy kingdoms no longer need to travel long distances.
They all used this time to recuperate and recharge.
A month later, the qualifying team from the Star Luo Empire, escorted by the Star Luo Empire's Royal Knights, arrived in Heaven Dou City.
Due to the special regulations of Heaven Dou City, the Royal Knights of the Star Luo Empire can only be stationed outside the city, while the participating Soul Master teams enter Heaven Dou City under the guidance of their respective teachers.
The only guaranteed admission team from the Spirit Hall Academy has also arrived.
However, they were not escorted by the military; instead, they were escorted by Douluo Ling Yuan, the only personal bodyguard of the Pope the Spirit Hall, and three other Titled Douluo Gui Mei, Yue Guan Gui Mei.
When Ling Yuan activated her Nine-Headed Phoenix True Body, carrying the eight contestants from the Spirit Hall's escort team and the two Titled Douluo, Ju and Gui, and descended upon Heaven Dou City, it caused quite a stir.
The most distressed of all was undoubtedly the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
Including Salas and Huyan Zhen in the city, the Spirit Hall mobilized five Titled Douluo just for a Soul Master Tournament.
