At that moment, Bibi Dong, who had still been worrying about Yu Xiaogang, narrowed her eyes. The Twin Martial Souls inside her began to tremble violently.
The Soul Power of a Level 99 Limit Douluo seemed to have encountered its natural enemy. It cowered deep within her body, not daring to stir!
[No. 5: Spirit Hall's Pope, possessor of Twin Martial Souls, Level 99 Limit Douluo, Bibi Dong!]
Boom!
As soon as this name appeared on the Sky Screen, all of Douluo Continent erupted!
This was madness!
The Sky Screen had gone mad!
It had actually selected the Pope, the publicly acknowledged strongest person on Douluo Continent and the ruler of countless Soul Masters?!
"Your Holiness the Pope!"
Nearby, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were already scared out of their wits. They desperately tried to rush forward and stop her, only to be hurled hundreds of meters away by the aura spilling from the pillar of light.
"So this is fate..."
Inside the pillar of light, Bibi Dong's splendid imperial robes fluttered in the wind.
Though alarmed, she was a great and formidable figure. She quickly forced herself to calm down.
Then she gritted her teeth and stared fixedly at the Sky Screen, a fierce glint flashing through her eyes.
"Fine. Since I've been selected, I'll go see whether that so-called higher-dimensional world can really contain my Level 99 cultivation!"
"And Xiaogang, too. Xiaogang is still suffering there. I have to save him!"
[Personnel selection complete!]
[Beginning transmission!]
Whoosh!
A flash of light, and the next group of people vanished from Douluo Continent in an instant, leaving only a crowd of bewildered locals staring blankly at the empty sky.
If the first group had merely been a few cannon fodder sent to test the waters, then this group consisted of the truly exalted figures of Douluo Continent.
If even Bibi Dong fell there, then Douluo Continent really would be nothing but a joke.
Battle Through the Heavens Plane, unknown region.
Space twisted. Five figures were roughly flung out, each becoming a streak of light that fell in a different direction.
[Ding! Random beginner protection gift pack being distributed...]
[Fortunate one selected: Bibi Dong!]
[Item obtained: Concealment Jade Slip (conceals your aura for three days and points the way to a relatively safe shelter).]
On the first light screen in the Sky Screen:
Dai Weisi was in luck. He hadn't landed in the Magical Beast Forest. Instead, he had appeared just outside a bustling town.
Qingshan Town!
Looking at the lively crowds and the not especially tall city walls, Dai Weisi straightened his somewhat disheveled collar. A haughty smile befitting a prince appeared on his face.
"Heh, it seems this prince really is luckier than that useless younger brother of mine."
"This place doesn't look all that dangerous. And..."
He sensed the auras of the passersby around him.
Most were weak. They didn't even have Soul Rings, only a faint veil of energy around them.
"A bunch of commoners, that's all."
After taking all this in, Dai Weisi's confidence instantly soared. He was the favored son of the heavens in the Star Luo Empire, and his strength as a Level 49 Soul Ancestor was enough to make him look down on everyone.
In his view, the others had met their grisly ends simply because they had encountered powerful magical beasts.
When it came to humans, he had an innate sense of superiority.
Especially people who looked as unimpressive as these.
"Hey, you, commoner!"
Dai Weisi strode forward and blocked the path of a bald mercenary with a burly, heavily scarred face and a greatsword on his back. Raising his chin, he spoke in a commanding tone.
"Tell this prince where we are. Then prepare the finest food, wine, and lodging for me."
"If you serve me well, this prince will reward you handsomely!"
As he spoke, he casually tossed out a bag of Gold Soul Coins, his gaze disdainful.
The bald mercenary first froze at these words. He looked down at the coins on the ground, sensed Dai Weisi's strength, then looked at the prince's haughty, nose-in-the-air expression.
"A prince? What kind of idiot is this?"
The bald mercenary was named Kagang, a squad leader in the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. He was already a Five-Star Dou Zhe who had condensed a Dou Qi Cyclone and could skillfully use Dou Techniques. He was a hardened killer who had clawed his way through countless bloody battles.
"What did you call me?" Dai Weisi's expression darkened, and his Martial Soul instantly possessed him.
"White Tiger, possess me!"
Roar!
With a tiger's roar, Dai Weisi's muscles swelled. Two yellow and two purple Soul Rings revolved beneath his feet, making an imposing spectacle.
"If you don't want to die, get down and kowtow!" Dai Weisi barked. He knew the Sky Screen was livestreaming him, so he absolutely couldn't disgrace himself or the empire.
Otherwise, how could he become emperor in the future?
But faced with this flashy transformation, Kagang merely curled his lip as though watching a monkey perform.
"Such a showy act. Your strength's as feeble as cotton, and you still dare to put on airs in front of me?"
"You ungrateful bastard!"
A fierce glint flashed in Kagang's eyes. Without wasting another word, he unleashed the pale-green wind-attribute Dou Qi within him!
"Yellow Tier Advanced Dou Technique: Wind Splitting Claw!"
Dai Weisi didn't even see his opponent move. He only saw a flash of green light.
"White Tiger Barrier!" He instinctively activated his first Soul Skill.
But the White Tiger Barrier, powerful enough to withstand attacks from Soul Masters of the same level, was as brittle as paper before Kagang's claw, wrapped in Dou Qi!
"Argh!"
A scream rang out. Five deep, bone-revealing gashes instantly tore across Dai Weisi's chest. The Soul Power defense he had prided himself on was ripped apart in an instant, and he was sent flying more than ten meters like a battered sack.
"Pfft!"
Dai Weisi lay on the ground, coughing up blood. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
"H-How is this possible?!"
"You don't have a Soul Ring. How can you be so strong?!"
He couldn't understand why this rough mercenary, who looked utterly lacking in noble bearing, could break through his defensive Soul Skill with a casual strike.
"Soul Rings? What kind of garbage is that?"
Kagang walked over, planted a foot on Dai Weisi's face, and ground it down as he grinned savagely.
"Kid, this is Qingshan Town. You don't get to run wild here."
"Look at that soft, delicate skin. If I sell you to the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion as a test subject, you might fetch a few gold coins."
"Take him away!"
With a wave from Kagang, several fierce-looking mercenaries rushed forward. They dragged the Star Luo Empire's prince into a dark alley like a dead dog.
Meanwhile, on Douluo Continent, in the Star Luo Imperial Palace.
"No! My son!"
Watching Dai Weisi being dragged away like a dead dog on the light screen, the Star Luo Emperor was so furious that he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot, then fainted completely.
Meanwhile, on Ning Rongrong's livestream screen:
Compared with Dai Weisi's miserable fate, what happened to Ning Rongrong was even more dramatic.
She, too, had landed in a huge city.
Black Seal City!
It was one of the most chaotic and prosperous cities in the Black-Corner Region!
"Waaah, where am I?"
Ning Rongrong sat collapsed in a small alley. Dust covered her exquisite skirt, and tears streaked her pretty face, making her look utterly pitiful.
She had been pampered since childhood. How could she have ever encountered anything like this?
Everyone passing by gave off a bloody aura that made her feel suffocated.
"Oh? What a pretty little thing. Here all by yourself?"
Just then, several men dressed in black robes, their eyes sinister, suddenly crowded around her.
