An Actress-Level Showdown! The Pope Gives Her Word, Leaving the Entire Arena Petrified!

The purple and gold Pope robes fluttered in the strong wind.

Holding the Spider Emperor Scepter, Bibi Dong descended the golden steps with elegant yet heavy gaits.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo stood on either side.

An overwhelming pressure swept across the entire Great Soul Arena like a tsunami.

I thought the matter was over after the Clear Sky Sect ran away.

Little did they know that the real highlight was only just beginning.

Xiao Wu's body inside the Golden Tortoise Barrier began to tremble violently.

Her eyes turned bloodshot in an instant.

It was a hatred that ran deep in the bones.

The aura emanating from Bibi Dong perfectly matched the nightmare deep in her memory.

That was the smell of blood left behind when my mother was Sacrifice.

Xiao Wu's fingernails dug deeply into her palm.

His blood and energy surged wildly throughout his body.

The murderous intent nearly tore her reason apart.

But then, a warm hand precisely grasped her palm.

Lin Qingmo tightened his slender fingers slightly.

The purest life Soul Power flowed into Xiao Wu's body like a gentle stream.

He forcibly suppressed the restless and turbulent blood and qi within her body.

Lin Qingmo then pulled her behind him.

The boy lowered his voice and teased in a tone only the two of them could hear.

"Silly rabbit, with me here, nobody can do anything to you today."

The warmth emanating from his palm was as heavy as a mountain.

The crimson in Xiao Wu's eyes faded slightly.

She sniffed and hugged Lin Qingmo's arm tightly.

Bibi Dong stopped in her tracks.

Her beautiful, purplish-blue eyes pierced through a distance of tens of meters, landing on the front of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's formation.

The air was frozen solid.

The high-ranking members of various sects in the stands on both sides subconsciously held their breath.

Bibi Dong's voice was as cold as ice.

"Lin Qingmo."

"You already knew the true identity of this Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast."

The tone was not one of doubt, but of certainty.

Ning Fengzhi's eyelid twitched.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong exchanged a glance.

A look of deep surprise flashed across the eyes of the two old men.

They had met Xiao Wu several times before.

Xiao Wu had absolutely no trace of the stench of Soul Beast.

To my utter surprise, this girl was actually Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast had undergone rebirth and transformed into human form.

The Spirit Hall has certainly found a good way to frame them for these crimes.

If it were an ordinary Soul Master being questioned in public by the Pope, they would probably have already been so frightened that they would have knelt down and begged for mercy.

Lin Qingmo's clothes didn't even tremble.

He had his hands in his pockets, a calm and serene smile on his handsome face.

The young man cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

The melodious sound echoed throughout the entire Central Plaza.

"Your His Holiness the Pope, I do indeed know."

That was a concise and to-the-point answer.

There was no attempt to evade or cover up.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's eyes immediately lit up.

"His Majesty!"

"Since he admitted it, then this Transformed Soul Beast..."

Before Chrysanthemum Douluo could finish speaking, Lin Qingmo interrupted him indifferently.

"Senior Yue Guan, what's the rush?"

"It's basic courtesy to let people finish speaking; even His Holiness the Pope hasn't spoken yet."

"You..."

Chrysanthemum Douluo was so angry that his orchid fingers trembled.

Lin Qingmo withdrew his gaze and looked towards the high and mighty Pope.

He cleared his throat.

"Your His Holiness the Pope, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast choosing to transform and cultivate again is inherently a path of defying fate with nine deaths and one life."

"Once Soul Power breaks through Level 60 and enters the mature stage, the flesh and bones are completely reshaped."

"The meridians are human, the soul is human, and even the blood and genes throughout the body are no different from those of a real human."

"Xiao Wu is now a legitimate member of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's team."

"He was also a key contributor to winning the overall championship of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament through his own strength."

"This junior dares to humbly request His Holiness the Pope to grant her current human status."

These words resonated deeply.

The entire audience was stunned.

Are mature- Transformed Soul Beast equivalent to humans?

This theory sounds completely unheard of.

But upon closer examination, it seems damnably reasonable.

The atmosphere had become so tense it was almost unbearable.

Ning Fengzhi quietly placed his palm on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Sword revealed its full power.

The void around Bone Douluo trembled slightly.

Liu Erlong, surrounded by a blazing Fire Dragon, stood protectively on Xiao Wu's other side.

Everyone believed that a major war was imminent.

Faced with this unprecedented question, the Supreme Pope of the Spirit Hall would never back down an inch.

Bibi Dong simply stared at Lin Qingmo.

The boy's eyes were clear yet cunning.

Even in the instant their eyes met.

Lin Qingmo's lips curled up slightly, forming an extremely subtle arc.

He was conveying information silently through his eyes.

"Master, last night you called me 'good brother' on the bed and said 'A-Qing loves me,' but today you're acting all cold and aloof in front of outsiders?"

"That's enough. Let's finish this play together with your apprentice."

Bibi Dong's ears felt slightly hot.

This little rascal is getting bolder and bolder.

They actually dared to have such malicious intentions in full view of everyone.

Bibi Dong secretly gritted her teeth.

On the surface, however, she maintained that majestic and awe-inspiring Pope demeanor.

After a brief silence.

Bibi Dong softly uttered a single word.

"Can."

Just one word.

The volume is not high.

Yet it struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.

The entire room fell silent instantly.

Did you hear that right?

What did His Holiness the Pope just say?

Bibi Dong slowly retracted the Spider Emperor Scepter, her purple-gold Pope robe fluttering in the wind.

She looked down at the members of the Heaven Dou Team from her high vantage point, her voice as cold as frost falling from the heavens.

"I hereby acknowledge her human identity."

"The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament has come to a successful conclusion."

"You may leave now that you have received your rewards."

After saying that.

Bibi Dong no longer glanced at anyone.

She gracefully turned her delicate body, trailing the hem of her magnificent robe, and floated into the depths of the Pope Palace.

Only a cool and stunningly beautiful figure remained.

"Ha?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo's mouth dropped open, his jaw nearly hitting the ground.

"His Majesty!"

"That's a hundred thousand years..."

Ghost Douluo grabbed Chrysanthemum Douluo and shook his head fiercely at him.

If they say another word, His Holiness the Pope's Spider Emperor Poison Sting will likely pierce their necks first.

Ning Fengzhi froze on the spot.

The arm holding the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was suspended in mid-air.

The Soul Skill that had been prepared in advance was abruptly stuck in his throat.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin's eyelids twitched violently.

The Seven Kill Sword, which had been poised to strike, was now caught between a rock and a hard place, neither ready to be drawn nor sheathed.

Bone Douluo swallowed hard.

"Fengzhi, did I hear that right?"

"When did the Pope of the Spirit Hall become so easy to talk to?"

"Those are Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring and Soul Bone delivered right to our doorstep!"

Ning Fengzhi a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.

"No."

You heard me right.

"His Holiness the Pope... was actually persuaded by Lin Qingmo's few words."

This is more absurd than the sun rising in the west.

Looking at the entire Douluo Continent.

Who doesn't know about the Spirit Hall's obsession with Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?

The Blue Silver Emperor of yesteryear unleashed a reign of terror and bloodshed.

The tempting offer was delivered right to their doorstep, Bibi Dong actually let it go without a second thought?

The remaining Soul Master who were watching were completely petrified.

"You... you're just going to leave it like this?"

"No, this is completely different from the bloodshed and sacrifice I imagined."

"Is this even reasonable?!"

The vast majority of Soul Master felt that their values had been brutally violated.
