Bibi Dong's strongest trump card allowed her to come back safe and sound, even after dying once.
When Bibi Dong reappeared before everyone's eyes, they were all stunned.
"You've got to be kidding!"
"Am I seeing things?"
Qian Xunji's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
He had died once himself.
He knew better than anyone how steep the price of coming back from the dead could be.
If the Arena Tournament hadn't begun and given him a chance,
and if he hadn't happened to defeat Zhongli Wu and win the Resurrection Match,
Qian Xunji would probably never have gotten a second chance in his life.
Qian Xunji treasured this chance to return from the dead.
But he had never imagined that Bibi Dong could win the Resurrection Match too—and, judging by the looks of it, without paying much of a price.
"What on earth is going on?"
Qian Xunji felt that Bibi Dong had become utterly inscrutable.
Could she have some priceless treasure that could reverse life and death?
"Your Holiness, that was Bibi Dong's ninth Soul Skill, the Undying Body."
Faced with Qian Xunji's many questions, Chrysanthemum Douluo gave him the answer he wanted.
Others might not know, but Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo knew Bibi Dong inside out.
They had followed her for years, working tirelessly in her service.
They knew every one of Bibi Dong's abilities like the backs of their hands.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that even if Qian Xunji wanted to know how many hairs Bibi Dong had, Chrysanthemum Douluo could give him the answer.
"What!"
"That ungrateful disciple actually has such a heaven-defying Soul Skill?"
Qian Xunji could no longer keep his composure!
The Undying Body was practically cheating.
It could bring you back even after you died!
Then what had all his hard work to win the Resurrection Match been for?
"Does this mean I truly have no chance to avenge myself in this life?"
Pain showed on Qian Xunji's face.
Bibi Dong had already been difficult to kill.
Throughout all of Spirit Hall, aside from Qian Daoliu, no one had the strength to bring her to heel.
But Qian Daoliu had his own moral code.
He would never personally strike Bibi Dong down just for Qian Xunji's sake.
At long last, Qian Xunji had waited for Long Xiaoyao to kill Bibi Dong.
But then her Undying Body had turned the entire situation around.
Who could Qian Xunji even complain to?
Star Dou Forest!
Xiao Wu sat there dumbstruck, the smile on her face freezing in an instant.
"How did that wicked woman come back to life again..."
Xiao Wu's mood plummeted from the heavens straight to the depths.
She had been celebrating because Long Xiaoyao had avenged her mother's death.
But now, Xiao Wu wasn't smiling anymore.
"Sister Xiao Wu, this kind of resurrection must have its limits."
"Bibi Dong definitely can't use it again anytime soon."
"With Long Xiaoyao's strength, he can just kill her again."
Seeing Xiao Wu's unhappiness, Titan Giant Ape hurried to comfort her.
Its guess wasn't unreasonable.
Using the Undying Body had drained the last of the Soul Power in Bibi Dong's body.
She would even need to go through a period of weakness, since the skill took a toll on her body.
If she could use the Undying Body whenever she wanted,
Bibi Dong would have been invincible long ago.
She could have trounced everyone under heaven.
Clearly, she wasn't that powerful.
"Er Ming, you're right!"
"If Long Xiaoyao can kill that wicked woman once, he can kill her a second time."
Hope rekindled in Xiao Wu's eyes.
She waited for Bibi Dong to be killed again.
Heaven Dou Empire!
The tension in Qian Renxue's heart suddenly eased.
She had known that someone like Bibi Dong wouldn't die so easily.
As her daughter, how could she not know how powerful Bibi Dong was?
Although Qian Renxue had been in the Heaven Dou Empire all these years, she had kept a close eye on Spirit Hall and Bibi Dong.
"The relationship between the young mistress and Her Holiness is so complicated."
Snake Lance Douluo had taken in every one of Qian Renxue's reactions.
When Bibi Dong was alive,
Qian Renxue had been at odds with her.
But the moment something happened to Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue had been so anxious she nearly cried.
Snake Lance Douluo had never seen such a complicated mother-daughter relationship before.
He sighed silently to himself.
But he wisely kept his thoughts to himself.
Clear Sky Sect!
Tang Xiao and the others all wore grim expressions.
Just a moment ago, they had been gloating over Bibi Dong's death, thinking Spirit Hall was about to lose a major asset.
But the very next moment, Bibi Dong had come back to life.
It was like a slap in the face.
"Bibi Dong actually has a way to resurrect herself. That's terrifying."
"Spirit Hall really isn't easy to deal with."
Second Elder's expression darkened.
It was the first time they had ever seen a technique like this.
With a trump card like that, Bibi Dong could only be killed by a deity.
Bibi Dong was already powerful to begin with.
There weren't even a handful of Soul Masters across the entire continent who could threaten her.
And if she died, she could simply resurrect herself.
That meant she could advance or retreat as she pleased.
There was no denying it: that was just plain unfair.
"Damn it!"
"Why is Spirit Hall overflowing with talent?"
"While our Clear Sky Sect keeps falling further and further behind!"
Seventh Elder was deeply unwilling to accept it.
Bibi Dong's move had truly stunned them all.
They had thought that without Qian Daoliu, the Clear Sky Sect could hold its own against Spirit Hall.
Now it was clear that the Clear Sky Sect couldn't even compare.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
Ning Fengzhi shook his head helplessly.
"She really is a woman worthy of becoming the Pope."
"Bibi Dong is truly terrifyingly strong."
No matter how reluctant Ning Fengzhi was to admit Spirit Hall's strength, he had to accept the truth.
Bibi Dong's resurrection had opened his eyes.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo exchanged a glance, their faces bitter.
Even if they joined forces to attack Bibi Dong, they probably wouldn't be able to take her down.
The gap between them and Spirit Hall was like heaven and earth.
Given the circumstances, it would be best to avoid provoking Spirit Hall in the future.
"Xiao San, did you see that?"
"Bibi Dong isn't dead!"
"I told you long ago that Bibi Dong was the most monstrous genius I'd ever seen."
"She couldn't possibly be defeated so easily."
Yu Xiaogang sounded extremely excited.
He was even more worked up than the person involved.
"Teacher, Bibi Dong is one of our enemies too, you know."
Tang San was at a loss for words.
Yu Xiaogang was so happy that anyone who didn't know better would think he was from Spirit Hall.
After all, Tang San had ended up hiding from place to place because Bibi Dong had been hunting him down.
Bibi Dong's return was hardly good news for Tang San.
If Bibi Dong didn't die, that meant Tang San would have another powerful enemy in the future.
Judging by the strength Bibi Dong had shown so far,
unless Tang San became a god, he probably wouldn't be able to get rid of her.
That was nothing to be happy about.
Only after Tang San reminded him did Yu Xiaogang realize that his loyalties did put him in an awkward position.
Still, Bibi Dong's resurrection proved that his judgment had been right.
He truly deserved the title of Grandmaster.
