Bibi Dong thought of the man seeing her pristine, jade-like body, and clenched her fist. Ripples spread across the water.
She wanted to see for herself just who this man was, and how he had managed to enter the group.
Bibi Dong opened the member list, found Lu Jiuyuan's name, and tapped it.
The next moment, the man's basic information appeared before her.
[Name]: Lu Jiuyuan
[Age]: 25
[Identity]: Senior Brother of Xiaozhu Peak
After reading the information, Bibi Dong felt a surge of disdain. She sneered, "With a status like that, he thinks he can be our group leader? What a joke!"
She could already picture herself teaching that man a lesson!
The thought put Bibi Dong in a good mood, and she sent Lu Jiuyuan a message.
[Bibi Dong: @Lu Jiuyuan, I know you're reading this. Get out here, now!]
Bibi Dong waited a while, but when he didn't reply, she snorted and sent another message.
[Bibi Dong: If you don't come out, don't blame me for what happens next!]
Looking at the messages, Lu Jiuyuan shook his head helplessly.
Bibi Dong really was persistent. But then again, it made sense—she'd already been seen completely naked!
Lu Jiuyuan took a deep breath, thought for a moment, then replied.
[Lu Jiuyuan: @Bibi Dong, what happened just now was a misunderstanding. You were the one who sent it first. There was nothing I could do to stop it!]
"Bang!!!"
Seeing the message, Bibi Dong exploded with rage. She slammed her fist against the wall, her ample breasts rising and falling.
[Bibi Dong: @Lu Jiuyuan, you bastard! I won't let you get away with this!]
[Bibi Dong has challenged you for the position of group leader. Accept?]
Lu Jiuyuan frowned at the prompt.
As expected, they'd have to fight. He wanted to see just how powerful the Spirit Hall's pope really was!
Feng Qing'er, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't sit still anymore.
She wanted the group leader position too. She wasn't about to let a man manage her!
As a prodigy of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, her pride would never allow her to bow to anyone!
[Feng Qing'er: @Lu Jiuyuan, I'm challenging you too. Do you dare accept?]
[Feng Qing'er: If you're a man, show yourself right now!]
[Feng Qing'er has challenged you for the position of group leader. Accept?]
Lu Jiuyuan's mouth twitched. Since things had come to this, he wasn't one to hesitate!
If he wanted to make them submit, there was only one way: crush them completely with his strength!
[Accept Bibi Dong's challenge!]
[Accept Feng Qing'er's challenge!]
Lu Jiuyuan had one concern: would it be a fair duel, or a free-for-all with no rules?
But he had a way to handle either one!
[System Notice: Battle space activated. First match: Lu Jiuyuan vs. Bibi Dong.]
[Rules: No real injuries can be sustained within the battle space. Both parties' strength will be limited to the same level. Death or surrender counts as a loss. Please prepare. You will be transported into the arena in ten seconds!]
Suddenly, Lu Jiuyuan's vision flashed white. The blinding light left him temporarily unable to see.
His consciousness began to blur, and his body seemed to be drawn by an invisible force into a mysterious space.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in an enormous palace.
The palace was resplendent, its vaulted ceiling a hundred zhang high, with nine golden pillars carved with coiling dragons standing around it.
White jade tiles covered the floor, polished to a mirror sheen.
[Battle Space: Spirit Hall.] [Opponent: Bibi Dong (Pope of Spirit Hall)] [Countdown: Three seconds.]
Lu Jiuyuan looked at the panel and smiled faintly.
How amusing—to fight Bibi Dong in Spirit Hall!
He swept his gaze across the surroundings and quickly spotted the figure at the far end of the hall.
A tall woman in a purple dress walked slowly toward him, her expression cold and imperious. A powerful pressure radiated from her.
"You're Lu Jiuyuan?"
Bibi Dong's red lips parted slowly. Her voice was low and commanding, carrying an unquestionable authority.
Looking at the man who had seen her naked, Bibi Dong's feelings grew complicated.
The man before her had striking, painterly features, a tall and straight bearing, and an extraordinary presence. His confident, resolute expression was strangely captivating.
But she quickly collected herself and cursed inwardly: No matter how handsome he is, he's still a lecher. I'll make him pay!
Besides, her cultivation didn't seem to have been significantly suppressed. Taking him down would be easy!
Lu Jiuyuan didn't answer right away. He simply looked at her in silence.
She really was more beautiful in person than in the pictures. Too bad she was already married!
After a moment, Lu Jiuyuan finally spoke.
"Bibi Dong, I've heard so much about you. You're every bit as beautiful as your reputation suggests."
Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow. "You've heard of me? You know who I am?"
"I've heard of you," Lu Jiuyuan said calmly. "Twin Martial Souls, a Peerless Douluo, the most powerful leader Spirit Hall has ever had. Your story has been told in many worlds."
A flicker of surprise crossed Bibi Dong's eyes.
"Many worlds?"
"That's right." Lu Jiuyuan nodded. "In my world, for instance, people have written books about you."
"Written books about me?" Bibi Dong was stunned for a moment, then sneered.
"Ridiculous!"
As she spoke, she quickly raised her hands. Two phantoms appeared in her palms.
One was a spider, entirely purple, its eight eyes gleaming with an eerie light—the Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul.
The other was also a spider, but far larger, its body wreathed in dark golden light—the Soul-Eater Spider Emperor Martial Soul.
Twin Martial Souls, revealed at once!
The temperature in the entire hall plunged, and a chill filled the air.
"Enough talk!" Bibi Dong glared coldly at Lu Jiuyuan. "Show me what you can do!"
The moment she finished speaking, she vanished from where she stood.
Lu Jiuyuan's heart tightened, and he reacted at once!
A streak of purple light skimmed past his shoulder and struck the spot where he had just been standing.
The white jade tiles shattered instantly, blasting open a crater several meters deep.
So fast!
Lu Jiuyuan had no time to think. He thrust his sword behind him.
The Taiji Xuanqing Sword swept forward with steady Sword Momentum, aimed straight at Bibi Dong's back.
Clang!
The tip of his sword struck a purple web and stuck fast.
Bibi Dong turned around and looked at him coldly.
"That's it?"
She gave a light wave of her hand. The purple web instantly tightened, binding Lu Jiuyuan's sword and arm together.
Lu Jiuyuan frowned and tried to wrench his sword free, only to find the web unbelievably tough. It didn't budge.
One of the Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul's abilities—Death Spider Web Restraint.
Anyone caught in it would have their life force gradually drained away.
"You got caught by my first move."
Bibi Dong shook her head, disappointment flickering in her eyes.
"Looks like I overestimated you."
