Tang San's Despair, Bibi Dong Exposes Xiao Wu's Identity!

Flender's voice was polite, yet carried a hint of wariness.

However, Bibi Dong did not even spare him a glance; her condescending gaze remained locked firmly upon the petite figure cowering behind Tang San.

"That girl, leave her behind."

Bibi Dong raised a slender, fair finger, pointing it straight at Xiao Wu from across the distance.

This single gesture.

Instantly, the gazes of over twenty thousand spectators in the arena converged once more upon the Shrek Academy team.

Tang San's pupils contracted to the size of needlepoints in that instant.

He did not hesitate; almost instinctively, he stepped forward, using his own not-so-broad shoulders to shield Xiao Wu firmly behind him.

"Your Holiness, Xiao Wu is my younger sister."

Enduring that immense pressure, Tang San gritted his teeth and spoke, his voice dry yet filled with a rigid, desperate resolve.

"She was severely injured in today's match and is currently extremely weak; she urgently needs to return for treatment."

"I do not know what crime she has committed that requires a direct order from the Pope herself to detain her?"

Yu Xiaogang also hurriedly stepped forward at this moment.

He felt that, based on his past history with Bibi Dong and the Martial Soul Hall Elder Token in his possession, Bibi Dong would surely grant him some measure of face.

"Bibi Dong!"

Yu Xiaogang raised his head, looking directly at the Pope on the high platform, and questioned her loudly.

"The tournament has ended, and Shrek Academy is here representing the Heaven Dou Empire."

"As the Pope of Martial Soul Hall, to harass an injured child in front of everyone—are you not afraid of being ridiculed by soul masters across the continent, or of damaging the reputation Martial Soul Hall has built over thousands of years?"

Yu Xiaogang's words were righteous and stern, an attempt to use public opinion and the weight of the situation to force Bibi Dong to back down.

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's challenge, a look of profound disgust flashed across Bibi Dong's face.

For this man who had once entangled her in love and hate, but now inspired only deep contempt and pity for his weakness, she did not even have the desire to say another word.

"Reputation?"

A flicker of disdain crossed Bibi Dong's eyes.

"When did it become your turn, a level twenty-nine piece of trash, to point fingers at how This Seat conducts business?"

"Deacon, stand down."

"Elder Chrysanthemum, Elder Ghost, move—take that girl!"

Bibi Dong's voice was unyielding.

"As you command!"

Yue Guan and Gui Mei did not hesitate in the slightest.

The figures of the two Title Douluo streaked through the air like two beams of light, landing steadily in front of the Shrek group in the blink of an eye.

A terrifying, suffocating soul power pressure swept outward like a raging tide.

Nine brilliant soul rings flashed alternately beneath their feet, radiating an oppressive force that made it hard to breathe.

The faces of Flender and Zhao Wuji turned pale instantly.

Facing two long-renowned Title Douluo, their strength as level seventy-something Soul Saints was simply not enough to contend with.

But as the academy's leaders, they could not watch their students be seized.

Flender gritted his teeth and released his Four-Eyed Owl martial soul, his seven soul rings rising in tandem.

Zhao Wuji also let out a roar, his Vajra Bear martial soul instantly manifesting, and he stood before the children with a grave expression.

"Your Holiness, isn't this going a bit too far?"

Flender gritted his teeth, protesting loudly while enduring the terrifying pressure that threatened to crush his very bones.

Tang San clenched his fists even tighter, his entire being like a beast driven into a corner.

Inside his Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges, countless hidden weapons were primed and ready.

His right hand had even quietly pressed against his lower back, prepared to summon the Clear Sky Hammer at any moment.

Whoever wanted to touch Xiao Wu would have to step over his corpse!

Meanwhile, seeing this from the viewing platform, Ning Fengzhi's brows locked tightly together.

No matter what, Shrek Academy was a team representing the Heaven Dou Empire.

If they were to have their people seized in Martial Soul City for no reason by Martial Soul Hall, where would the Empire's face be?

And where would the prestige of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect remain?

He turned his head to look at Emperor Xue Ye, seeing that the Emperor's expression had turned abysmal.

Ning Fengzhi knew he had to step forward.

Holding his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Staff, he slowly rose from his seat in the VIP area.

"Your Holiness the Pope, please hold your hand."

Ning Fengzhi's voice was elegant, yet carried a weight that could not be ignored.

"Shrek Academy represents the Heaven Dou Empire. Even if this child has committed some error, she should be judged by the laws of the empire."

"Is it not somewhat inappropriate for Martial Soul Hall to seize someone in full view of the public? At the very least, you should provide the soul masters present with a reasonable explanation."

Sword Douluo Chen Xin stepped forward half a pace.

His fingers, which looked like withered wood, still did not leave the hilt of the Seven Kill Sword.

Yet, the sword intent within his body erupted through his skin in that very instant.

An invisible giant sword, as if intending to pierce the firmament, tore a gap right through the pressure Yue Guan and Gui Mei had imposed upon the Shrek group.

Emperor Xue Ye also spoke with a darkened face: "Pope, Imperial We also desire a reasonable explanation."

"Students of the Heaven Dou Empire are not to be taken away by just anyone."

Facing the combined pressure of Ning Fengzhi and Emperor Xue Ye.

Bibi Dong stood at the edge of the high platform, not only showing no signs of retreat, but a cold, inscrutable sneer appeared on her noble and beautiful face.

Her gaze, filled with endless mockery, slowly swept over Ning Fengzhi before finally landing on Emperor Xue Ye.

"A reasonable explanation?"

"Sect Master Ning, Your Majesty. You speak repeatedly of her being a student of the empire, the hope of humanity."

Bibi Dong's voice suddenly rose.

Wrapped in soul power, her clear voice sounded like rolling thunder, exploding across the sky above the entire Martial Soul City plaza.

"But have you truly seen clearly what kind of thing she actually is?"

As soon as the words fell.

Bibi Dong gave no one else time to react.

Her fair right hand swung out violently, and the Nine-Headed Serpent Emperor Scepter in her hand struck the ground heavily once more.

A strange pink-purple ring of light, like ripples on the surface of water, rapidly spread across the plaza.

The speed of this light ring was extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, it swept over the bodies of the Shrek group.

The moment that pink-purple light ring passed through the body of Xiao Wu.

"Crack—"

A crisp sound, like glass shattering, rang out from Xiao Wu's bosom.

The Lovesick Heartbreak Red she had always used to conceal her own aura could no longer maintain its original state under the impact of such tyrannical soul power unleashed personally by a Titled Douluo.

Accompanying this shattering sound.

A vast life force, impossible to describe in words, erupted wildly from Xiao Wu's petite body, as if a volcano that had been dormant for ten thousand years had suddenly awakened.

"Boom!"

This energy was not a destructive force of aggression, but a primitive aura that was pure and carried the rich, fresh scent of forest vegetation.

This aura was so vast, and yet so wild.
