The Pope's Waist, a Deadly Blade!
A thin mist Entanglement to the majestic walls of Spirit City.
The morning light had just broken through the clouds.
The seven members of the Imperial Fighting Team gathered in the lobby of a luxury hotel.
Xiao Wu twitched her fair ears.
She took a step forward with her long, straight legs and moved closer to Lin Qingmo.
She puffed out her cheeks and sniffed carefully with her little nose.
A hint of doubt flickered in her large, watery eyes.
"A-Qing, why do you have a peculiar floral scent?"
"It's somewhat like lavender, yet carries an indescribable, elegant, and cool fragrance."
"This tastes so familiar." Xiao Wu blinked.
Lin Qingmo's heart skipped a beat.
However, he maintained his signature extremely calm and composed smile.
He subtly took a half-step back and cleared his throat.
"Is there?"
"Perhaps it's because I strolled too long in the hotel's back garden last night and picked up some of the Night Dew Flower."
On the surface, everything seemed calm and serene.
Lin Qingmo inwardly chuckled bitterly and complained.
This is the exclusive fragrance of His Holiness the Pope!
Who would have thought that Bibi Dong is usually noble, aloof, and arrogant, would go insane like that after revealing her true identity last night?
They were so entangled that he couldn't breathe at all.
Not only did they hold on tightly and refuse to let go, but they also tormented each other all night.
The Pope's waist, a deadly blade.
Even with his formidable physique, his lower back was slightly sore at this moment.
The contrast and madness of the current Pope almost overwhelmed him.
Ning Rongrong covered her mouth and chuckled to herself, then mischievously leaned over to tease her.
"Captain, did your walk last night leave you with a sore back?"
"Judging from your heavy gait, anyone who didn't know better would think you secretly fought Titled Douluo for three hundred rounds last night."
Lin Qingmo glanced at her sideways.
He flicked the little girl's forehead.
"You talk too much."
"If you don't perform well on the field later, just wait and see how I deal with you."
"Alright." Dugu Yan smoothed her purple hair and gave a light hum. "Today is the finals, everyone be serious."
"Those guys from the Spirit Hall are a bit weak, but they're not pushovers."
Lin Qingmo's smile faded, and his gaze became deep and composed.
"It's alright."
"Just proceed according to plan."
Half an hour later.
The Great Soul Arena in the Pope Palace.
The 100,000-seat spectator stands were completely full.
A clamor rose into the sky.
Nobles from both empires and powerful figures from various sects were all present.
At the very top of the platform.
Pope Bibi Dong sat enthroned on a throne symbolizing supreme power.
He wore a dazzling and luxurious purple-gold robe and a purple-gold crown.
Holding the Spider Emperor Scepter.
His face was holy, yet dignified and cold.
It exudes a terrifying aura that surpasses all other Soul Master on the continent.
It can happen the instant the Imperial Fighting Team enters the arena.
His Holiness the Pope, who held the fate of millions in his hands, had a barely perceptible tremor in his beautiful, purplish-blue eyes.
My gaze pierced through the void.
It swept across Lin Qingmo's waist with utmost secrecy.
A tenderness and contentment that only the two of them understood flickered deep in their eyes.
The corners of her lips even curved into a beautiful yet delicate smile.
When Lin Qingmo saw her murderous gaze, he subconsciously rubbed his back.
In the shadows of the spectator stands.
The Shrek Academy students huddled in a corner.
Tang San was wearing a large black cloak, and his entire body was wrapped in bandages.
The backlash from forcibly Ring Detonation left him deathly pale.
Each swallow was accompanied by excruciating pain.
His sinister eyes were fixed on Lin Qingmo on the stage, his teeth grinding together.
"Why should I...?"
"Why is he able to stand there unscathed, enjoying the spotlight?!"
"If Qian Renxue hadn't suddenly intervened yesterday, I would have already won the championship!"
"Lin Qingmo... I'd like to see just how much you're worth!"
Tang San roared viciously in his heart.
We can only wait and see the Imperial Fighting Team crumble under Qian Renxue's Angel True Body.
He absolutely did not believe that Lin Qingmo was stronger than Qian Renxue.
Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, put away his feather fan, his eyes fixed on something as hard as iron.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong stood behind him, their expressions solemn.
Their gazes were fixed on... Xiao Wu.
In another dark corner, Tang Xiao, the sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect, who was hiding his aura, was also watching intently.
"The match begins!"
With a loud shout from the referee.
The atmosphere in the entire venue completely erupted!
On the arena.
A burst of light erupted.
The six members of the Spirit Hall Platinum Team suddenly formed a battle formation.
Only Captain Qian Renxue stood still, without moving an inch.
Even more bizarrely...
On the Imperial Fighting Team's side, Captain Lin Qingmo also had his hands behind his back.
The two men remained calm and unmoved, their expressions relaxed.
Their gazes swept across the tens-of-meters-wide arena, colliding violently in the void.
A cold and murderous aura flowed in Qian Renxue's golden eyes.
Lin Qingmo smiled, his expression as deep and unfathomable as the ocean.
Why aren't they moving?
A Soul Master in the stands couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
"Who cares!"
"The Spirit Hall Golden Generation has made their move!"
Xie Yue and Hu Liena exchanged a glance.
The two figures intertwined, instantly transforming into a blazing pink pillar of light!
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill - Demon Charm!"
Go all out right from the start!
The thick, blood-red mist rapidly expanded, enveloping half of the arena.
Sensory impairment, Soul Power suppression!
"Hahaha, watch this!" Yan laughed wildly, his body bursting into flames.
"Flame Lord!"
The enormous magma fist, carrying scorching heat, hurtled straight towards the back row of the Imperial Fighting Team!
"Kneel down before me!"
Red mist spread, Lie Yan soared into the sky.
The seemingly overwhelming attack appeared somewhat laughable to the Imperial Fighting Team.
Dugu Yan stepped forward.
His eyes instantly turned a cold, deep purple.
Six perfectly matched Spirit Ring complement each other!
The overwhelming pressure of a level 65 Spirit Emperor was unleashed!
"A wide-area attack right in front of me?"
"Jade Phosphorous Blood Poison!"
"Sea King Snake Formation!"
A violent Berserk of turquoise, highly poisonous mist erupted, forcefully squeezing and shattering the red mist!
Countless solidified, Jade Phosphor Poison coiled and strangled, forcibly trapping Xie Yue and Hu Liena's fusion technique.
Before Yan could react...
A petite and swift figure had already pierced through the sea of fire.
Xiao Wu's beautiful eyes turned cold.
"Fifth Spirit Skill, Berserk!"
Golden light enveloped her.
Xiao Wu's attributes doubled in the blink of an eye!
Teleportation!
She seemingly crossed the void and landed above Yan's head!
"I heard you want someone to kneel down?!"
"Taste my kick, the Eight-Stage Kick!"
The first kick shattered the magma armor!
The second kick shattered the chest bones!
The third kick sent the massive Flame Lord flying into the sky!
The Berserk, unstoppable series of kicks tore through the air, producing a piercing whistling sound!
The eighth kick slammed heavily into Yan's abdomen, slamming him directly into the hard granite ground!
"Bang!"
Gravel flew everywhere!
Yan rolled his eyes, vomited blood, and fainted on the spot!
at the same time.
Zhu Zhuqing's figure transformed into nine afterimages.
The External Soul Bone Black Shadow Claws gleamed with a cold light.
With its extreme speed and absolute penetrating power, Xie Yue and Hu Liena, who had lost control and the protection of their shields, were simply unable to withstand it.
With just a whoosh of its claws, it completely crippled and eliminated the two!
rear.
Ning Rongrong held the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in her hands, which shone with colorful light.
"Seven Treasures Famous!"
A surge of up to 60% across all aspects of the system spread like a tidal wave.
Ye Lingling's Nine-Heart Begonia drifted in the wind, its healing aura enveloping the entire field, even rapidly replenishing the Soul Power consumed by the team members.
In just a few breaths!
The Spirit Hall Platinum Team, hailed as the pinnacle of the younger generation across the entire continent...
Apart from Qian Renxue.
Xie Yue, Hu Liena, Yan, and several other Soul Ancestor collapsed amidst pools of blood and rubble, rendered incapable of fighting.
Crush!
A complete and utter crushing defeat, without a doubt!
The entire 100,000 spectators in the stands were completely stunned.
"This... this is how we lost?"
"The Spirit Hall's Golden Generation was wiped out in just a few moves?"
"Two Spirit Emperor! Four Spirit King! My god, how come this Imperial Fighting Team is full of Monster!"
On the ring.
Dugu Yan dusted off her hands, her tone relaxed and casual.
"They're really weak; they beat you half a tea's time faster than I expected."
Xiao Wu put away her rabbit ears.
She winked playfully at Lin Qingmo and snapped her fingers.
"Brother, the small fish are all cleaned up."
"You can deal with this toughest nut to crack in private!"
After saying that.
Under the stunned gaze of tens of thousands of people in the audience.
The six members of the Imperial Fighting Team exchanged a smile, then turned and stepped off the stage with remarkable nonchalance.
He didn't even turn his head.
On the vast central arena, only two people remained in the end.
Royal Battle Captain Lin Qingmo.
Qian Renxue of the Spirit Hall.
The wind whipped up dust and sand, creating a deathly still atmosphere that was suffocating.
Qian Renxue stared coldly at the relaxed young man opposite her, her body surging with golden flames.
"Did you arrange for them to leave?"
Lin Qingmo put one hand in his pocket, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Certainly."
"After all, our combat strategy isn't suitable for others to participate in."
