Bibi Dong was no longer the weak girl she had once been.
She was now a Level 99 Limit Douluo, far stronger than Qian Xunji.
If Qian Xunji wanted revenge, he could come and try.
Bibi Dong was not afraid.
Qian Xunji flew into a rage.
"You ungrateful wretch! If I hadn't nurtured you, how could you have achieved what you have today?"
"You relied on Spirit Hall's resources to get where you are, yet now you're turning your blade against Spirit Hall."
"Today, I'll strip you of everything and send you tumbling back into the dirt."
Qian Xunji summoned his Angel True Body and charged at Bibi Dong.
But as soon as the battle began, Qian Xunji was sweating buckets.
The Bibi Dong of today was terrifyingly strong.
The pressure she brought to bear on Qian Xunji was even more frightening than Zhongli Wu's.
"Hmph. I'm no longer the weak woman you could manipulate at will."
Bibi Dong unleashed Eternal Wound.
Qian Xunji was sent flying at once, utterly humiliated.
Back then, she had been too weak to fight back when Qian Xunji forcibly dragged her into the secret chamber.
She could only wait until Tang Hao had gravely wounded Qian Xunji before she got the chance to stab him in the back.
But now, Bibi Dong didn't need any schemes or tricks. With her formidable strength, she could simply crush Qian Xunji.
Qian Xunji's face was more sour than if he'd eaten a mouthful of crap.
He hadn't imagined that in the decades since his fall, Bibi Dong would have grown this powerful.
Qian Xunji had to admit that his rebellious disciple Bibi Dong's talent was truly terrifying.
His eye for talent had been right!
But now, if he couldn't deal with this rebellious disciple, how could Qian Xunji quench the hatred burning in his heart?
"Teacher, let's have you taste death once more!"
A cold glint flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.
Divine Slaughter's Domain instantly enveloped Qian Xunji.
"That's enough!"
Just then, a voice full of authority rang through the Pope Palace, stopping Bibi Dong in her tracks!
The speaker was none other than Qian Daoliu.
Qian Daoliu had finally managed to wait for Qian Xunji to come back to life and live a second life.
How could he possibly allow Bibi Dong to kill him again?
"Bibi Dong, from today onward, return your position to Qian Xunji."
"You are no longer a member of Spirit Hall."
Qian Daoliu pronounced his judgment in an unquestionable tone.
He had made Bibi Dong the Pope back then only because Qian Renxue was still too young to take on such an important responsibility.
The papal throne had only been lent to Bibi Dong for the time being.
Once the time was right, the rightful heir, Qian Renxue, would inherit it again.
But now, Qian Xunji had returned.
Naturally, Qian Xunji would continue as Spirit Hall's Pope.
The Angel Clan were the true masters of Spirit Hall.
As for expelling Bibi Dong from Spirit Hall, that was already Qian Daoliu showing mercy.
The only reason Qian Daoliu hadn't killed Bibi Dong was his own noble character.
"I won't accept this..."
Bibi Dong heard those words and immediately fell apart.
If she lost her position as Spirit Hall's Pope, then the power, status, and resources she currently enjoyed would all slip away from her.
Everyone knew it was hard to go from luxury to frugality.
Bibi Dong had grown used to holding herself above everyone else and to the supreme authority that came with being Spirit Hall's Pope.
If her position were stripped from her now, how was she supposed to live from then on?
"Impudent!"
"I'm not discussing this with you. I'm informing you!"
Qian Daoliu wasn't about to indulge Bibi Dong.
A terrifying pressure of divine power swept over them. Bibi Dong's face changed at once, and she fell to her knees.
Even though Bibi Dong had now entered the realm of Limit Douluo, before a First-Level God, she was still nothing more than an ant.
Allowing Bibi Dong to leave unharmed was already the utmost limit of Qian Daoliu's mercy.
If this had been any other sect, they would never have let Bibi Dong live.
Everything in Spirit Hall belonged to his Angel Clan in the first place.
Bibi Dong was an outsider. Whether she had the right to be Pope was entirely up to the Angel Clan.
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth.
Feeling that boundless divine power pressing down on her, she could only silently endure it.
"I understand!"
Bibi Dong knew there was no room for negotiation.
Qian Daoliu withdrew the pressure of his divine power and left the rest to them.
"Rebellious disciple, the feud between us won't end so easily."
"Once my strength catches up, I'll personally clean house."
Qian Xunji snorted and turned to leave.
With his strength as it was now, there was no way he could kill Bibi Dong!
He could only let her live a little longer.
Still, forcing Bibi Dong out of Spirit Hall let him vent some of his pent-up rage.
Qian Xunji had Spirit Hall at his back, with its countless resources.
Raising his strength wouldn't be difficult.
Besides, there was now a mysterious arena where he could seize great opportunities.
Qian Xunji had won just one match and already earned the chance to come back to life.
If he won a few more times in the future, he might yet surpass Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong watched Qian Xunji's retreating figure disappear from view and clenched her fist in frustration.
Knowing that she was about to surrender her supreme power and status made Bibi Dong deeply unwilling to accept it.
But she had no way to change things and could only resign herself to her fate.
"For the humiliation I suffered today, I'll repay you a hundredfold someday."
Bibi Dong took off the Pope Scepter and silently etched her hatred into her heart.
Su Yu knew nothing about the turmoil in Spirit Hall.
The second Arena Tournament match had ended, and Su Yu waited eagerly for his system reward.
[Congratulations, Host, your bet was successful!]
[Reward: God-Level Soul Ring!]
[Friendly reminder: The God-Level Soul Ring granted by the system can be absorbed without any side effects, but it cannot increase your Soul Power.]
At long last, the reward Su Yu had been dreaming of had arrived.
It was exactly the Soul Ring he needed.
The moment the words "God-Level Soul Ring" appeared, Su Yu grinned from ear to ear.
Although the system was stingy and absorbing a God-Level Soul Ring wouldn't increase his Soul Power,
the thought of the god-level Soul Skill it would bring made Su Yu's discomfort vanish in an instant.
Even a watered-down God-Level Soul Ring was better than a Million-Year Soul Ring.
"Absorb it!"
"Now!"
Su Yu didn't hesitate and immediately claimed the reward.
The next moment...
A golden Soul Ring slowly emerged beneath his feet.
Absorbing the God-Level Soul Ring was as easy as drinking water.
There wasn't the slightest resistance along the way.
Two and a half minutes later, Su Yu opened his eyes, having fully mastered his first Soul Skill.
His first Soul Skill was an ability related to time.
It was called [Ten Thousand Times Acceleration].
As the name suggested, Su Yu could manipulate time to achieve ten thousand times acceleration.
The power of this skill perfectly matched the prestige of a God-Level Soul Ring.
If Su Yu used Ten Thousand Times Acceleration on the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well,
then every year, he could harvest a batch of hundred-thousand-year Immortal Herbs.
Everyone knew that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well increased the growth rate of plants tenfold.
If that were combined with Su Yu's Ten Thousand Times Acceleration,
then the Immortal Herbs countless people clamored for would be nothing more than a wholesale commodity to Su Yu.
He could have as many as he wanted.
Of course, with Su Yu's current Soul Power, he couldn't accomplish anything like that yet.
He'd have to wait a little longer before he could realize his grand plan of wholesaling Immortal Herbs.
