Sixth place: Bibi Dong! Yu Xiaogang is excited, the Consecration Hall is shocked: Bibi Dong has actually started the God Trials?

The nine-colored divine light on the Ranking Screen gradually faded away.

In its place, a strand of noble yet infinitely sinister purple mist slowly gathered in the sky, forming a new line of large characters.

[Douluo Continent's Top Ten Peak Soul Masters, Sixth Place: Bibi Dong.]

Inside the Consecration Hall, everyone who had still been immersed in the joy of Azure Luan Douluo's explosive increase in strength froze instantly.

Male Lion Douluo abruptly rose to his feet and shouted in disbelief:

"Sixth place?

Bibi Dong?!

How could that be possible?!"

Azure Luan Douluo also furrowed his brows, his expression turning somewhat grim.

"Before receiving the Ranking Screen's reward, this old man was already at the peak of Rank 97.

If Bibi Dong ranks sixth, doesn't that mean her strength before this ranking was already above mine?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo's face darkened as he slowly said,

"She has only been Pope for twelve years.

Twelve years ago, when she had just broken through to become a Title Douluo, she was only Rank 91.

How could she possibly cross so many gaps in merely twelve years, even surpassing Third Brother, who has cultivated diligently for so many years?"

Qian Daoliu took a deep breath. A trace of apprehension flashed through his eyes as he spoke in a grave voice,

"Her progress did not come from cultivation alone.

Second Brother, Third Brother, do you still remember that disgusting evil aura she usually carried?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo's heart stirred.

"Grand Consecrator, you mean..."

Qian Daoliu slowly nodded.

"That's right.

This old man once borrowed the power of our divine ancestor to probe her, and I sensed the aura of the Rakshasa God from her.

She must have begun a god trial, and her progress must be exceptionally deep.

Only rewards from a god trial could allow a Soul Master to reach such terrifying heights within twelve years."

The great consecrators suddenly understood, their expressions becoming complicated and wary.

Meanwhile, inside the Papal Hall.

Bibi Dong sat upright upon the Pope's throne. Looking at the name on the Ranking Screen, a cold smile curved across her lips.

"Sixth place... That is fairly just."

Yue Guan, standing beside her, carefully bowed and said,

"Congratulations, Your Holiness, on reaching sixth place on the Ranking Screen.

It is only... with Your Holiness's talent and strength, this subordinate believes your rank should have been even higher."

Bibi Dong swept Yue Guan with an icy glance and said indifferently,

"I do not care about the ranking.

However, if not for that damned Rakshasa God Trial constantly suppressing and tormenting my body and soul power, preventing me from displaying my full strength,

I could have fought for a place in the top three."

At this point, Bibi Dong had no intention of concealing the fact that she had begun the Rakshasa God Trial.

After all, the Ranking Screen was about to expose it anyway.

But what worried Bibi Dong most was the Ranking Screen revealing the past.

It might expose the fact that she had devoured Qian Xunji twelve years ago.

If that happened, her prestige within Wuhun Hall would certainly suffer a devastating blow!

Even... Qian Renxue might also...

At the thought of Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong's gaze immediately became exceedingly complicated.

Within Sunset Forest.

Jia Lin looked at the name appearing on the Ranking Screen, then curiously turned toward Lan Yu.

"Dad, who exactly is this woman named Bibi Dong?

She actually ranks ahead of that Azure Luan, even taking sixth place?"

Fire Dragon King snorted and answered before Lan Yu could speak.

"She is merely a mortal who inherited the power of the Rakshasa God.

Though her talent is decent among mortals, in this king's eyes, she is still nothing worth mentioning."

Lan Yu stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly,

"She possesses twin martial souls: the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul-Eating Spider Emperor, both of which are top-tier poison attributes.

More importantly, she has received the inheritance of the Rakshasa God's divine position.

It is hardly strange for her to rank sixth."

Water Dragon King nodded in agreement.

"Twin martial souls combined with a god's inheritance do indeed qualify her for this position.

However, my lord, the Rakshasa God is a god of utmost evil. If this woman becomes a god, whether it will be a blessing or disaster for Douluo Continent is difficult to say."

Lan Yu remained calm as he watched the Ranking Screen without commenting.

"Let us see how the Ranking Screen continues its evaluation."

Inside Shrek Academy, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Tang San watched the Ranking Screen with a grave expression.

"Sixth place... Wuhun Hall's Pope is actually this terrifyingly powerful."

Dai Mubai swallowed and said in a low voice,

"Even Azure Luan Douluo, whose martial soul evolved into the Nine-Heavens Azure Luan and whose soul power reached the peak of Rank 98, ranked below her.

Just how powerful is this woman?"

Amid everyone's astonishment, Yu Xiaogang alone stood rooted to the spot.

His eyes were fixed on the three characters "Bibi Dong" on the Ranking Screen. His body trembled uncontrollably, and his face was pale as paper.

Seeing this, Flander patted his shoulder with some concern.

"Xiaogang, are you all right?"

Yu Xiaogang seemed not to hear Flander. He merely muttered in a daze,

"Bibi Dong... Why is it you..."

Long-sealed memories flooded Yu Xiaogang's mind like a tide.

Back then in Wuhun City, Bibi Dong had suddenly broken up with him without any warning, her attitude resolute and cold.

At that time, he had been young and impetuous. His pride had suffered a tremendous blow, and in a fit of anger, he left. From then on, he wasted away half his life.

But now that he thought back on it, endless doubts arose in Yu Xiaogang's heart.

"Something is wrong... There were too many suspicious points about what happened back then."

Yu Xiaogang suddenly raised his head. A complicated light flickered in his eyes as he said to Flander,

"Flander, Dong'er loved me deeply back then. She was even willing to break with Wuhun Hall for my sake.

How could she have suddenly become so cold and heartless within just a few days?

There must have been some hidden truth I never knew!"

Zhao Wuji sighed.

"Master, those are old grievances from over twenty years ago. What is the point of dwelling on them now?"

Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists and stared fixedly at the Ranking Screen.

"No, there is a point!

Since this mysterious Ranking Screen can review the past, it will certainly show the course of her life.

What exactly happened back then? Today, I must see the truth for myself!"

At that moment, the purple mist above the Ranking Screen suddenly scattered.

Within the image appeared an incomparably beautiful yet extremely cold woman.

She wore a luxurious Pope's robe, a violet-gold crown upon her head, and held the Pope's scepter in her hand.

She sat upon the cold Pope's throne, without the slightest emotional ripple in her eyes, noble and aloof.

On the right side of the image, several huge lines of characters glowing with dark-purple light briefly introduced her information.

[Name: Bibi Dong.]

[Identity: Current Pope of Wuhun Hall.]

[Martial Souls: Death Spider Emperor (first martial soul), Soul-Eating Spider Emperor (second martial soul).]

[Soul Power Rank: Rank 98 Super Douluo.]

[God Trial Progress: Has begun the Rakshasa God Trial and is currently on the Rakshasa Seventh Trial.]

[Overall Evaluation: As she is in a crucial stage of the Rakshasa God Trial, the laws of the god trial exert extremely powerful suppression and erosion upon her soul power and physical body, causing her strength to stagnate for a long time and greatly reducing her combat power.

If she were in an unrestricted state at full strength, her ranking would rise significantly.

Therefore, her current overall combat strength is provisionally ranked: Sixth Place.]
