Spirit City, in front of the Pope Palace!
The final three-way showdown of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament was just about to begin!
Bibi Dong stood atop the high platform with Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei.
Just as in the original story, Ghost Douluo Gui Mei was introducing the attributes of the tournament's ultimate prizes: three Spirit Bones.
"Those three Spirit Bones are the Spirit Condensing Wisdom Skull Bone and the Explosive Burning Flame Right Arm Bone..."
All the competitors present, along with the Soul Masters accompanying them, listened to the introduction with greedy looks on their faces, completely captivated.
Even Tang San, the original protagonist standing among the crowd, felt his heart stir at the sight of the three Spirit Bones.
Only one boy, about sixteen years old, remained calm and composed among the Spirit Hall team behind Bibi Dong.
His name was Song Ye, a young man who had accidentally traveled from Blue Star in his previous life to the Douluo Continent.
Back then, he had arrived in the Douluo Continent and become an orphan in Spirit City. At the age of six, he awakened an Element Disk Martial Soul and Innate Soul Power of rank seven, catching the attention of Spirit Hall.
Though his talent was good, it wasn't exceptional, and he had no cheat or special advantage. Song Ye had no choice but to stay with Spirit Hall and develop gradually.
After years of hard work, he had successfully joined the Spirit Hall team. He was competing in the tournament alongside Hu Liena and two other teammates.
However, having read the original story thoroughly, Song Ye knew that Tang San was destined to win the tournament. There was no way he could withstand Tang San's Bat Wing Reincarnation or change the outcome.
As he watched Gui Mei continue to introduce the three Spirit Bones, especially the Head Soul Bone, which was fifty thousand years old, Song Ye couldn't help finding it ridiculous. He chuckled under his breath.
"What's the point of hyping them up so much? They'll end up in Tang San and his friends' hands anyway."
"Ever since the tournament began, I've been warning Hu Liena and the others to be careful, but they're so proud that they don't take Tang San seriously."
"They'll end up losing to Tang San, just like in the original story..."
Over the years, Song Ye hadn't simply sat around doing nothing. He'd tried to find outside help to make himself stronger, and he'd even looked for a way to leave Spirit Hall. But Spirit Hall wasn't a place you could just walk away from.
For now, all Song Ye could do was stay with Spirit Hall and look for a way out later.
By this point, Gui Mei had finished introducing the three Spirit Bones.
Everyone was still staring at them, unable to hide their desire.
Bibi Dong stepped forward and continued with her final words of encouragement.
"There can only ever be one victor. The same goes for the champion!"
"So all three Spirit Bones will belong to the ultimate..."
Song Ye had no interest in this nonsense. He just wanted to see if he could guard against Tang San's Bat Wing Reincarnation and make sure he wasn't injured or drained of his essence.
At last, another ten seconds passed, and Bibi Dong finished her speech.
The final three teams would probably soon face off and determine the true winner!
Everyone present, including the Shrek Seven Devils, Tang San's team, was on edge. The final showdown was about to begin...
But then!
No one could have imagined that just as Bibi Dong finished speaking and was about to instruct them to draw lots, a beam of white light suddenly descended from the sky.
"Whoosh!"
The light pierced downward, sweeping over everything.
The moment it appeared, countless voices rang out in shock and confusion.
"What is that?"
"Why did a sudden flash of white light appear? Is it some kind of Titled Douluo's technique?"
"My heavens! What's happening?"
Even Song Ye was baffled by what he saw. "Huh?"
"Holy crap, did the plot go off track? Did something unexpected happen?"
As a transmigrator, he knew for certain that there was no white light in the original Douluo story.
And just after he'd spoken, the white light gradually faded. A gigantic Light Screen appeared in the sky.
Mysterious runes filled the screen, giving it a remarkably sacred appearance.
The next moment, text appeared on the Light Screen, accompanied by a matching mechanical voice.
[The Douluo Q&A Game has begun!]
[This game will present questions and choices about various aspects of the Douluo World!]
[The game will initially connect to the current timeline, then gradually connect to the Dou Er and Douluo III timelines!]
[Only Soul Masters with a certain level of recognition in the story can participate. Participant selection is underway!]
[Everyone who participates will receive a shared reward for each question they answer correctly!]
[The total reward for each question is fixed! The more people who answer correctly, the more the reward will be divided. The fewer people who answer correctly, the greater the individual reward!]
[Questions will be presented in groups of five! Each group will focus on one person or one event! The later the questions, the better the rewards!]
[Loading participants from the current timeline...]
The sudden text on the Light Screen and the mechanical voice appeared without warning.
Along with the white light, they were forced into everyone's minds and vision.
Some people quickly noticed something strange.
"My heavens, what is this? No matter what angle I look from, it's as if it's facing me!"
"I've changed my viewing angle, but I can still see the Light Screen! The volume of the voice stays the same too. It seems to be forcing us to watch and listen!"
"What does 'Douluo Q&A Game' mean? Answer questions, and you get rewards if you're right?"
"Is this a divine miracle? Is a god granting us blessings?"
Similar voices rang out across nearly the entire Douluo World. Even people on the neighboring Sun Moon Continent could see the Light Screen.
But according to the rules displayed on it, only those with a certain level of recognition in the story could participate.
In the Sun Moon Forest on the Sun Moon Continent, the Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign read the information in its mind, deeply perplexed.
[Congratulations, Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign! You have been chosen as a game participant!]
The Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign was stunned. "What on earth is this?"
"I've been chosen to participate in the game? What's going on?"
And it wasn't alone. Everyone connected to the story was chosen to participate.
For example, in front of the Pope Palace, many of the competitors, including Tang San, received the same message.
[Congratulations, Tang San! You have been chosen as a game participant!]
[Congratulations, Bibi Dong! You have been chosen as a game participant!]
[Congratulations, Tang Hao! You have been chosen as a game participant!]
Almost everyone who had appeared in the story and had a name was chosen.
Even more astonishingly, some unusual beings, Spirit Beasts, and even inanimate objects had been selected!
[Congratulations, Man Faced Demon Spider! You have been chosen as a game participant!]
[Congratulations, Ah Yin! You have been chosen as a game participant!]
[Congratulations, Ah Rou! You have been chosen as a game participant!]
But the most surprising thing of all was that even Song Ye, a transmigrator who hadn't appeared in the original story, heard the voice.
[Congratulations, Song Ye! You have been chosen as a game participant!]
Song Ye murmured, "All right!"
"I've waited so long for this day, dreamed of it for so long, and now the dream's finally coming true! The transmigrator perks are here!"
"If answering questions about Douluo gets me rewards, then I'm going to rule the entire Douluo world for all eternity!"
