A Break?

Hu Liena cautiously took two steps back, doing her duty as the battlefield's camerawoman.

She had originally wanted to leave outright. After all, her position seemed a little awkward.

But everyone insisted that, for the sake of an accurate result, she had to film properly and leave behind proof of who won and who lost!

And since both Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue had said so, Hu Liena had no choice but to agree.

[Huo Wu: Young Master, who do you think will win?]

[Huo Wu: Let me make this clear first: I'm not rooting for Bibi Dong. I just want to call Young Master "Mom."]

[Bai Tu: ...]

[Bai Tu: In theory, Bibi Dong has more combat experience and has spent longer at the Titled Douluo level. She also has the Undying Body, a Soul Skill that's practically a bug below god level...]

[Huo Wu: So Bibi Dong will win?]

[Shui Bing'er: I'm betting on Qian Renxue!]

[Shui Bing'er: In theory, @Huo Wu]

[Shui Bing'er: Then what about in practice? @Bai Tu]

[Bai Tu: Let's keep watching. What if Qian Renxue really lets me down? Wouldn't that make me lose face?]

[Gu Yuena (Douluo I): Why not use the Power of Fate to take a look?]

[Bai Tu: That'd be no fun! For now, Bibi Dong's Soul Power is suppressed at level 98 because of her divine exam rank.]

[Bai Tu: Qian Renxue is stuck at level 99.99. Every level between Titled Douluos is like a whole new world, not to mention she has the true divine weapon, the Angel Sword.]

[Bai Tu: If she really loses, she can come back and help me raise the kids.]

[Bibi Dong: Could you lend me some points? @Bai Tu]

[Qian Renxue: Lend them to her! I'll pay you back extra in the future!]

[Bai Tu: Exclusive red packet for Bibi Dong]

[Bai Tu: Points might come in handy in the future. The Propagation Power I gave you is enough to raise one of your Soul Rings to at most eight hundred thousand years. It's not much worse than a God-Bestowed Soul Ring.]

[Bai Tu: Since you're technically a first-time buyer, you only owe me 499 points.]

[Bibi Dong received Bai Tu's red packet.]

[Bibi Dong: But a God-Bestowed Soul Ring can raise Soul Power.]

[Bai Tu: Exclusive red packet for Bibi Dong]

[Bai Tu: Soul Power Expansion Pack. Together with the one above, it counts as your first purchase. You only owe me 699 points.]

Back in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace dungeon.

Right in front of Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong took out her reward and began absorbing it!

Her Second Martial Soul was of no use for the moment, so she needed to choose the best Soul Ring to improve.

Bibi Dong focused her attention on her Seventh Soul Ring.

From Qian Renxue's perspective, and from the perspective of everyone watching through Hu Liena's footage—

Bibi Dong's black Seventh Soul Ring slowly began to change!

In no time, it had turned red, the color of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!

[Bai Tu: She's improving her Martial Soul Avatar...]

Bai Tu gave a thumbs-up. For Titled Douluos, the greatest difficulty in advancing was comprehension.

Bibi Dong, of course, had no such bottleneck.

What if she really broke through to level 99, with an eight-hundred-thousand-year Martial Soul Avatar to boot...

Bai Tu shook his head.

If he really lost, the most he'd be out was two five-hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings! (Bibi Dong and Huo Wu.)

As for the promise Gu Yuena had made, of course he'd let Bibi Dong go ask her for it!

Back on the battlefield, Bibi Dong rose to her feet.

Her Soul Power had just broken through and was unstable, causing her formidable aura to surge without pause.

Her Seventh Soul Ring had also turned orange-gold, with eight golden bands around it!

"I have everything I need now..."

Bibi Dong reined in her surging aura. Just standing there, she made Hu Liena's heart tighten with unease!

"Eternally Burning Wings!"

Qian Renxue's expression was solemn, her eyes filled with fighting spirit!

Golden light flowed across her golden angel wings!

"Do you hate me that much?"

Bibi Dong looked at Qian Renxue with complicated emotions as she began burning through her life force.

She didn't know that the Angel Godhood in another world was bearing the cost for Qian Renxue.

But there was no faking the pain Qian Renxue herself endured.

"Bibi Dong!"

Qian Renxue shouted sharply.

"After today's battle, win or lose, there will be nothing between us anymore!"

"I'll never live in your shadow again, Bibi Dong!"

Qian Renxue's eyes turned golden!

A scorching, sacred aura spread throughout the entire Heaven Dou Imperial Palace!

"Then come! Let me see how much you've improved!"

Bibi Dong immediately used Martial Soul Possession, and the ugly monster appeared in an instant!

Her face, like a spider's warped into human form, and the spider legs beneath her both exuded an eerie air!

Hu Liena's little face stiffened. Bai Tu had just @-mentioned her and told her to add some background music.

Tu Tu! Be a decent person!

No, be a decent fox!

"Angel! Judgment!"

Qian Renxue struck first!

The golden Angel Phantom behind her raised its greatsword and stabbed viciously at Bibi Dong, who looked tiny by comparison!

Qian Renxue's eyes were full of resolve!

It was time to draw a line beneath things between them!

Bibi Dong didn't just sit around waiting to die. She summoned a gigantic phantom of the Death Spider Emperor!

The phantom's front legs transformed into sickles and slashed repeatedly at Qian Renxue's angel!

"Holy Fire!"

"Angel! Purify!"

Light and darkness intertwined, crackling!

"Qian Renxue! You're a wretched child who should never have been born!"

Bibi Dong's eyes were bloodshot. Her hands turned into spider legs as she lunged to stab into Qian Renxue!

"There's nothing between us anymore!"

Qian Renxue lashed out, and the Angel God Sword in her hand easily severed both of Bibi Dong's hands!

"Ah!"

"Undying Body!"

Bibi Dong cried out in pain. Her severed arms turned into streams of dark purple liquid that flowed back into her body, restoring her hands.

Qian Renxue wasn't about to give her the chance!

"Angel Light Slash!"

Qian Renxue swung the Angel God Sword, sending countless blades of light at Bibi Dong, who was still stiff from the impact!

"Soul Bone Skill! Invincible Golden Body!"

Bibi Dong sneered. Did Qian Renxue really think she'd given her an opening for nothing?

A crisp clatter rang out as the blades struck Bibi Dong!

Bibi Dong instantly appeared beside Qian Renxue, who had spent the force of her attack and had yet to gather strength for another!

She immediately used her Death Spider Emperor Soul Bone Skill!

Both her hands transformed into enormous, wicked sickles!

"Martial Soul Avatar!"

Bibi Dong's eyes turned cold. Her sickles, carrying boundless might, cleaved straight toward Qian Renxue!

"Angel Shield!"

"Holy Light Shine!"

Qian Renxue looked at Bibi Dong, refusing to yield as she made a desperate last stand!

"Ah!"

Qian Renxue gave a sharp cry as her lower abdomen was pierced!

In the end, Bibi Dong hadn't cut Qian Renxue in half. She had changed her strike into a thrust.

Naturally, that greatly weakened the power of the Soul Skill!

"Angel! Sun!"

Qian Renxue clenched her teeth, and her body transformed into dazzling gold!

A vast ring of flames swept outward. The power of Sun True Fire it formed gathered in the air into a gigantic angel, its terrifying energy turning the surrounding space a brilliant gold!

At that moment, she had actually blown up the Angel God Sword for a battle in which neither of them could die!

All the Angel Divine Power had completely gathered into this Angel Phantom!

"Bibi Dong! I'll never forgive you..."

The phantom exploded!

Both women were engulfed in a sea of golden flames!

"Wait! Wait! I haven't—ah~"
