I'm a Master! *Slap!* Another Whip!

The crowd went completely crazy!

They originally thought it was just an internal trial within the Spirit Hall.

But who could have imagined that this spectacle would be so exaggerated as to make the entire continent tremble!

"No... has Yu Xiaogang's assassination attempt on the Pope already aroused public outrage on the mainland?"

"So many important figures are playing roles, all of them appearing together!"

Just then...

Finally, someone regained a sliver of reason from that extreme shock and voiced the question that lingered deep within their soul.

"By the way... who is that young man walking at the very front?"

"Why does it feel like... all those legendary big shots are centered around him?"

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured into a hot oil pan, instantly igniting the entire room.

Yes!

Just now, everyone's attention was drawn to the dazzling figures like Bibi Dong and Ning Fengzhi.

For a moment, everyone overlooked the young man who was surrounded by everyone like a star at the front!

He looked to be no more than twenty years old, with a handsome face and a lazy demeanor, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

Yet, neither His Holiness the Pope absolute power, nor the emperor, who commanded great respect, seemed to lag behind him by even a fraction of a step.

It's a deep-seated, visceral reverence that subordinates have for their superiors!

In an instant, all sorts of outrageous speculations proliferated among the crowd.

"Who do you think that young man is? He doesn't seem like he's anything special."

"But the women around him are all stunning beauties! And did you see that, even the way His Holiness the Pope looks at him..."

"Could it be... that this person is His Holiness the Pope...?"

Before they could make any outrageous guesses, a smug rebuke came from the mouth of a "local" from Spirit City standing nearby.

"Watch your mouths! Shut up if you don't want to die!"

The local Soul Master looked at these outsiders with disdain on his face, then lowered his voice and warned them in an almost pilgrimage-like, fanatical tone.

"That being is a god walking among mortals! An unparalleled being who can annihilate a titled expert with a mere flick of the finger!"

"Is this... really true?"

The outsiders looked on with disbelief, thinking to themselves, "You can't just brag like that."

But they saw that all the residents of Spirit City around them, when mentioning that young man, showed the same fanaticism and awe on their faces as that man.

For a moment, although they still had countless questions in their minds, their survival instinct made them shut their mouths and dare not say another word.

It wasn't until this dreamlike team walked to the magnificent viewing platform that had already been set up in front of the square that the team finally arrived.

Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of thousands.

Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, personally stepped forward and meticulously laid a pure white carpet, made of an unknown type of Soul Beast's hide, on the most magnificent and noble throne in the center.

Every movement was filled with careful and devout reverence.

After doing all this, she turned to the young man and bowed respectfully.

"Senior, please."

Lin Feng, of course, didn't stand on ceremony and plopped down on the seat, comfortably crossing his legs.

Hu Liena, Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuyun, and others stepped forward in perfect unison. One of them began to gently massage his shoulders, while the other two knelt down and pounded his legs.

To be so respectful to a young man when facing the Pope himself.

Those who came from out of town immediately believed seven or eight tenths of what the "deity" had said!

The gazes directed at Lin Feng shifted completely from curiosity to deep awe and fear.

Seeing that Lin Feng had comfortably made all the arrangements, Bibi Dong finally gave a look to the cardinal next to her, who had been staring in disbelief.

The other person shuddered, finally snapping out of the mind-blowing shock, and quickly mobilized their Soul Power, shouting loudly enough for everyone to hear.

"The trial officially begins!"

"Bring in the criminal, Yu Xiaogang!"

As the shout subsided.

A shrill, arrogant shout came from behind the square.

"Let me go! Let me go, all of you! You lowly people, do you even know who I am?!"

"I am Grandmaster! Yu Xiaogang!"

Soon, two tall and strong Soul Emperor-level guards, like dragging a dead dog, carried the still struggling Yu Xiaogang to the center of the square.

Then, in front of hundreds of thousands of people, he was tightly chained to that tall cross with cold iron chains.

Upon seeing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.

Is Bibi Dong trying to get Yu Xiaogang to cosplay as Jesus?

The moment Yu Xiaogang was tied up, he immediately saw Lin Feng sitting lazily on the throne on the viewing platform, and Bibi Dong standing beside Lin Feng like a well-behaved maid.

Jealousy and anger instantly overwhelmed his pitiful rationality!

He used all his strength to roar to the sky!

"Bibi Dong! You shameless woman!"

"Make these lowly people release me right now! Otherwise, I will never forgive you!!"

This venomous roar echoed throughout the entire venue.

Upon hearing these utterly absurd words, many people on the viewing platform couldn't help but let their lips twitch violently.

Demon Bear Douluo rolled his eyes and muttered a complaint to Ghost Leopard Douluo beside him.

"This guy... did he really get kicked in the head by a donkey?"

"Still can't you see the situation clearly by now?"

Bibi Dong's face didn't even bother to show a single extra expression.

She couldn't even be bothered to give the order herself.

Not even a glance is needed.

The bishop who had just presided over the trial already understood the implication.

This is a golden opportunity to demonstrate my loyalty before His Holiness the Pope and before the divine!

A flash of light appeared in his hand, and a long whip covered in Soul Power instantly materialized!

"How dare you! How dare you disrespect His Holiness the Pope!"

Smack!

A crisp, ear-piercing explosion!

The long whip, like a venomous snake, whistled through the air and struck Yu Xiaogang hard, instantly tearing his skin and causing blood to splatter!

"Ah--!"

A piercing scream erupted from Yu Xiaogang's throat.

This lash inflicts more than just physical pain.

In front of hundreds of thousands of people across the mainland, this was the most ruthless trampling on his dignity as a "Grandmaster"!

His face, already distorted by jealousy, became even more grotesque from the pain and humiliation!

"You... you dare hit me?!"

Yu Xiaogang's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the cardinal who had made the move, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

"But I am..."

"Smack!"

Another lash!

This time, they're smoking even harder!

The cardinal's face was filled with a cold, sinister grin.

I don't care who you are!

"In Spirit City, anyone who disrespects His Holiness the Pope is guilty of a capital offense!"

"If it weren't for His Majesty's order to ruin your reputation as a fraud, do you think you'd still be standing here breathing?"
