Pope Dong Refuses to Accept Saintess Dong

Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang's face turned ashen.

The persona he had painstakingly cultivated for years had completely collapsed.

Flender's gaze was filled with even greater contempt.

Yu Xiaogang muttered to himself, breaking down.

"No, that's not how it was."

"The one in the Sky Screen wasn't me at all! Although the Flame Dragon Martial Soul and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul are somewhat similar, martial soul theory is a rigorous matter. You can't conclude that the Flame Dragon mutated from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus. Of course I didn't know Erlong was my sister."

Flender mocked him.

"So you never asked?"

Of course he could not ask. How else could he pretend to be clueless if he did?

That brat Yu Xiaogang was the cleverest of them all.

Yu Xiaogang pleaded.

"Flender, I need to hide for a while. For the sake of our past brotherhood, you must not reveal my whereabouts."

"Haven't you always liked Erlong? From now on, I'll withdraw completely. If you want to pursue her, go after her boldly."

Yu Xiaogang could practically foresee it.

Once Liu Erlong and the sect learned of this matter.

What awaited him.

He could not be taken back to the sect. He still had to train Little San, fulfill the ideals in his heart, and leave those who looked down on him utterly stunned.

Flender said with disgust.

"Get lost!"

Sky Screen timeline—

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

The sect's sacred cultivation ground, Thunder Pool.

Lu Xuan took out a soul bone from his storage soul tool and tossed it to Bibi Dong, saying calmly.

"This is the external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lances. I obtained it by clearing out an entire Man-Faced Demon Spider nest. Its age is a little low, but it has growth potential and is highly compatible with you."

"Absorb it first, then enter the Thunder Pool and temper your body with lightning and fire."

The Eight Spider Lances possessed devouring, venomous, and piercing properties. Although its age was low, the growth potential of an external soul bone made up for that.

Bibi Dong took the soul bone and looked at the roiling Thunder Pool in the distance. It was essentially a sea of thunder formed from countless bolts of lightning; merely looking at it made her scalp tingle.

She swallowed, her face full of misery.

"Teacher, do I really have to temper my body in that Thunder Pool?"

"I won't die, will I...?"

Lu Xuan revealed a kindly smile, patted Bibi Dong's head, and chuckled.

"Silly child, what foolish things are you saying?"

"With your teacher here, you can rest completely assured."

It's precisely because you're here that I feel like someone's going to die!

Bibi Dong took a deep breath, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began absorbing the Eight Spider Lances external soul bone.

Outside the Sky Screen.

Some viewers were overcome with envy and jealousy.

"No way, just how many good things does the Supreme Douluo have? That's an external soul bone! Its value surpasses ordinary soul bones by an unknown number of times!"

"I heard the Supreme Douluo say he got it by clearing out a Man-Faced Demon Spider nest. Judging from its age, it's only a few thousand years old. Wouldn't that make it easy to pinpoint which nest it came from?"

Papal Palace.

Pope Bibi Dong saw it, but she was not particularly envious. She already possessed the external soul bone, the "Six-Winged Violet Light Wings," which came from a fifty-thousand-year Violet-Winged Spider Empress.

Still, there was no reason to turn down an extra external soul bone.

She gave the order.

"Summon the red-clad archbishops. Immediately dispatch people to the Star Dou Great Forest and destroy every Man-Faced Demon Spider nest below ten thousand years! We must obtain the Eight Spider Lances external soul bone!"

After Saintess Bibi Dong successfully absorbed the soul bone.

Lu Xuan grabbed her and brought her to the edge of the surging Thunder Pool, then unceremoniously threw her in.

"Master... sob sob."

Bibi Dong tried to awaken Lu Xuan's conscience.

Yet after tossing her in without hesitation, Lu Xuan extended his palm and, with his overwhelmingly powerful soul power, completely took control of the Thunder Pool.

In an instant, lightning blazed brilliantly.

The power of the lightning within the Thunder Pool more than doubled.

Once he estimated that it was about enough.

Lu Xuan descended on his sword and fished Bibi Dong out.

But Saintess Dong's appearance at that moment was truly unbearable to behold. Her face was charred black, multiple parts of her body were split open and bloody, her formerly smooth and lustrous hair had become an explosive afro, and her expression was one of utter misery.

Outside the Sky Screen.

The viewers all fell silent.

Only after a while did someone say weakly.

"The Supreme Douluo is truly ruthless! His Holiness the Pope is such a delicate girl, yet the Supreme Douluo doesn't even treat her like a person. He's straight-up trying to kill her!"

Papal Palace.

When Pope Bibi Dong saw her own appearance in the Sky Screen, she too fell silent.

It was the first time she had ever seen herself look so ugly.

"Not bad. The powers of lightning and fire are inherently the most rigid and yang energies. Tempering your body with lightning and fire cleanses all the cold, yin impurities from within you in one go, and even refined the Eight Spider Lances along the way."

Lu Xuan, however, was very satisfied with his handiwork.

Especially when he looked at Bibi Dong's explosive afro.

The more he looked, the more pleasing it seemed.

Lu Xuan took out a massive cauldron from his storage soul tool, set water to boil, and added various precious medicinal herbs one after another. After considering it, he dripped several drops of his own blood into it as well.

After perfectly absorbing the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Delicate Herb, Lu Xuan's blood had gained medicinal properties. Not only could it detoxify poisons, it was also an excellent catalyst for body tempering.

"Open your mouth."

Lu Xuan pinched Bibi Dong's mouth open.

He dripped several drops of his blood inside.

Bibi Dong swallowed several times. Like a fish stranded on shore longing for water, she almost greedily sucked at it, even trying to draw Lu Xuan's finger into her mouth, only to be disgustedly flung aside by him.

"That's disgusting. Your saliva almost touched me."

Lu Xuan stimulated Bibi Dong with his spiritual power.

He temporarily brought her back to consciousness and had her remove her clothes for the medicinal bath.

Bibi Dong regained her senses, her eyes full of resentment.

"Teacher, down in the Thunder Pool just now, I thought I was going to die. I thought you were holding a grudge because you're so petty and were deliberately trying to torture me."

Child, why are you so blunt?

Looks like even a double boost wasn't enough.

Lu Xuan said solemnly.

"Silly child, I don't have enough time to dote on you as it is. Why would I deliberately torture you? Hurry and take the medicinal bath. You'll gain something beyond your expectations afterward."

The area around the massive cauldron had already been fully screened off, yet, as expected, the Sky Screen still displayed mosaics.

Viewers: "..."

"This is really boring. Where has the trust between people gone?"

"His Holiness the Pope is so miserable. I feel like the Supreme Douluo is deliberately tormenting her."

"You can tell. The moment the Supreme Douluo made a move, the Thunder Pool's power doubled."

"For some reason, I'm starting to sympathize with His Holiness the Pope..."

However, once Bibi Dong emerged from the medicinal bath.

All the viewers were stunned.

"Holy crap, wait, getting struck by lightning has beautifying effects? His Holiness the Pope's skin is as soft and tender as a baby's, so pale it's glowing!"

"And her complexion has improved so much too. She looks incredibly healthy!"

"Mom, I think I've fallen in love..."

Even Pope Bibi Dong was briefly dazed.

Under Lu Xuan's relentless guidance, this Saintess Bibi Dong from another time and space seemed to surpass her in talent, strength, and even appearance.

While she felt gratified, Pope Dong was also a little unconvinced.

Could it be that she was actually inferior to Saintess Dong?
