Passing by the training grounds.
Several students who looked only around ten years old were sparring.
Their soul ring configurations had all surpassed the optimal limit through higher-tier absorption!
Looking around, every student walking along the paths brimmed with vitality and possessed exceptional bone structure. Each was a top-tier genius who would have been groomed by Spirit Hall as a holy son or holy maiden!
There were even several students whose Soul Power fluctuations had already reached the Soul King level.
How old were they even?
Bibi Dong felt that Blue Silver Academy truly had something extraordinary.
Something capable of overturning the entire balance of Douluo Continent.
However.
She was, after all, a formidable figure of her generation.
No matter how strange this academy was, the purpose of her visit remained that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
As long as she obtained its soul ring and soul bone, her strength would rise to another level.
Bibi Dong stopped and looked at Bi Ji.
"Teacher Bi Ji."
She spoke tentatively.
"I heard that your academy keeps a special soul beast in captivity?"
Bi Ji's expression remained calm upon hearing this.
"Your Holiness, you jest."
"How could our academy keep soul beasts in captivity?"
Bi Ji waved her hand lightly.
"That is merely a little pet raised by my lord."
"It usually does odd jobs around the academy. Xiao Bai is very well-behaved and has never hurt anyone."
Bibi Dong was completely dumbfounded.
A pet?
Xiao Bai?
According to Spirit Hall's top-secret intelligence, it was a genuine Hundred-Thousand-Year Demon Soul Great White Shark!
A terrifying savage beast capable of stirring monstrous waves in the sea!
And she called that a pet?
She even called it Xiao Bai?
Bibi Dong felt her understanding of the world being brutally trampled.
Could Spirit Hall's intelligence department really be full of useless idiots?
Had they mistaken a white ornamental fish for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?
Just as Bibi Dong was filled with suspicion and prepared to question her.
She was once again deeply shocked by Blue Silver Academy.
In the artificial lake ahead.
The surface suddenly churned violently.
An enormous column of water shot into the sky.
Then, a colossal creature more than twenty meters long burst from the water and crashed heavily onto the shore.
It was a great white shark with a sleek body, radiating terrifying ferocity.
Its aura erupted without the slightest restraint.
One hundred thousand years!
A genuine Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!
That brutal aura belonging to an ocean overlord made even Bibi Dong take half a step back.
"What a ferocious aura!"
"What terrifying power!"
Bibi Dong's eyes filled with greed and admiration.
Such a perfect soul beast seemed tailor-made for her by heaven itself.
She was about to secretly gather her Soul Power.
When she saw that incomparably fierce Demon Soul Great White Shark suddenly roll over on the ground.
Its enormous body rapidly shrank.
In the end, it became a large fish over two meters long, wagging its tail as it slid all the way to Bi Ji's feet.
Looking at the large fish rolling about and currying favor, having completely lost the dignity of a savage beast, Bibi Dong was utterly stunned.
This was the Hundred-Thousand-Year Demon Soul Great White Shark from Spirit Hall's secret report—the one with monstrous ferocity, capable of raising tsunamis?
Bi Ji reached out and stroked its massive head. Its tail wagged even more happily, and it even let out several ingratiating gurgles.
Its once-savage teeth had all retracted, making it look exactly like an ordinary ornamental fish.
"Your Holiness has seen it, hasn't she?"
Bi Ji lifted her gaze toward Bibi Dong, her tone calm.
"Xiao Bai has always been very well-behaved. At our academy, it is nothing more than an idle pet that eats and drinks for free."
Bibi Dong drew a deep breath, her chest rising and falling slightly.
The scene before her was too absurd, giving her an intensely unreal feeling.
A dignified Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was an overlord-class existence in either the Star Dou Great Forest or the Endless Sea.
Yet now it was truly being kept as a pet?
But shock aside, with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast right before her, that fatal temptation was simply irresistible.
A hundred-thousand-year soul ring, a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!
As long as she brought this foolish fish back to Spirit Hall, her plan could advance by a huge step.
No matter what strange means Blue Silver Academy had used to suppress this soul beast, she had to take it today.
Bibi Dong steadied herself and slammed the staff in her hand heavily against the ground.
The crisp sound of impact echoed through the empty courtyard.
"Since your academy cannot even discipline a pet properly, why not let me take it away and teach it on your behalf?"
As her words fell, a powerful aura belonging to a superior abruptly spread outward.
It was her supreme pressure, bearing down on Bi Ji without the slightest reservation.
Under that pressure, even the surrounding space faintly rippled with distortion.
The fallen leaves on the ground were swept up by a fierce wind and instantly ground into dust.
Bi Ji's brows furrowed slightly.
Naturally, she could sense the hostility emanating from the other woman. Bibi Dong had clearly come for Xiao Bai.
The Spirit Hall Pope was indeed immensely powerful. In terms of cultivation alone, there were only a handful across this continent who could surpass her.
If they truly fought, even with the body of a savage beast, dealing with her would be rather troublesome.
If this had been the Star Dou Great Forest of the past, Bi Ji might have been somewhat wary and chosen to avoid the confrontation for now.
But things were different now.
This was Blue Silver Academy.
Bi Ji remained standing there with perfect poise, not even taking half a step back. Her expression was composed to the extreme.
No matter how that pressure raged, even the hem of her dress did not sway in the slightest.
Bibi Dong's brows tightened, a trace of doubt appearing in her eyes.
Why was Bi Ji so calm?
How could an ordinary academy teacher remain completely unfazed under her pressure?
Even that foolish fish lying belly-up showed no hint of panic.
Did they possess some unknown trump card, or were they deliberately putting on a show here?
Meanwhile, within a quiet secluded residence deep inside Blue Silver Academy.
A faint fragrance filled the room, while sunlight streamed through the carved wooden windows onto the floor.
Xu Qing leaned against a cushioned couch, lightly playing with a strand of silver hair between his fingers.
Gu Yue Na nestled in his arms, her purple eyes full of languid affection and attachment.
The atmosphere between them was warm beyond measure.
"Spirit Hall's people have arrived."
Xu Qing mentioned it casually, his gaze falling on the lush trees outside the window.
Hearing this, Gu Yue Na pouted slightly, her beautiful face full of displeasure.
"They're here, so what? Why bother with them?"
She wrapped her arms around Xu Qing's waist and pressed her cheek against his chest.
"You just condensed your ninth soul ring. What you need most now is proper rest."
"Besides, Di Tian is guarding the entrance, and Bi Ji and the others are inside. Why would you need to show yourself personally?"
Gu Yue Na gave a soft snort, her tone carrying a trace of spoiled imperiousness.
"For the past hundred years, you only cared about condensing soul rings and barely paid any attention to me."
"Now that you have finally succeeded, you must spend time with me properly. You are not allowed to go anywhere."
Xu Qing could not help but laugh at Gu Yue Na's words.
He reached out and pinched Gu Yue Na's pert little nose, making her complain coquettishly.
"You really have arranged our academy's teachers quite clearly, haven't you?"
