Breakthrough to Titled Douluo? Bibi Dong's Shock!

Ning Chen's plans for the future had become increasingly clear.

Spirit Hall was something he would definitely hold in his own hands.

As for the outside world...

The two great empires, the upper three sects, Shrek...

Heh, they would all become stepping stones for Ning Chen's ascent to the pinnacle!

Just as Ning Chen was feeling high-spirited and envisioning the future, an overwhelming wave of drowsiness hit him.

After fighting, flying on his sword, and dealing with others while under immense mental strain today, both his body and mind had long since reached their limit.

"Forget it. I won't think about it anymore. Time to sleep."

Ning Chen turned over, pulled the blanket over himself, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

He slept especially soundly that night.

After all, his own bedchamber was far more comfortable than roughing it outside.

Besides, perhaps an exciting show would be waiting for him tomorrow.

Sister Lingyuan was attempting to break through to Titled Douluo...

He wondered what it would look like.

With a trace of anticipation, Ning Chen gradually drifted off to sleep.

Early the next morning.

Just as dawn was beginning to break, a dull boom accompanied by violent tremors suddenly came from somewhere within Wuhun City!

"BOOM!"

The entire ground shook violently at that instant.

Ning Chen, still asleep, sprang out of bed almost the moment the tremors reached him!

"Fuck! An earthquake?!"

That was the first thought that flashed through his mind.

As a battle-hardened soul master, his reaction speed far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Almost the instant he rose, he was ready to fight at any time. The martial soul aura of the Scorching Heaven Evil Emperor Armor surged wildly within him, while the phantom of the Emperor-Slaying Sword flashed and vanished.

Yet the violent tremors lasted only a moment before swiftly subsiding.

But immediately afterward, an incomparably berserk energy fluctuation erupted from the source of the tremors and shot into the sky.

It was fire-element energy of the purest, most extreme kind!

Scorching! Tyrannical! As though it would burn the entire sky to ashes!

The skies above all of Wuhun City were stained crimson by that terrifying energy. Winds and clouds changed color, and heaven and earth lost their luster!

Countless soul masters throughout the city trembled and felt an oppressive pressure the instant they sensed that aura. Those with weaker strength even had their legs go limp and collapsed to the ground!

"This... this is..."

Ning Chen stood by the window, staring at the enormous crimson pillar of energy piercing heaven and earth in the distance. He was completely stunned.

He could clearly sense that the source of that energy was precisely the area where Sister Lingyuan lived!

"No way?!"

A bold and crazy thought instantly rose in his heart.

"Sister Lingyuan... she... she's attempting to break through to Titled Douluo?!"

Ning Chen was shaken to the core, his face full of shock and disbelief.

She was breaking through this quickly?

She had only received the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower last night, and she was already beginning her breakthrough early this morning?

And wasn't the commotion from this breakthrough a little too massive?!

Though Ning Chen had never personally witnessed someone breaking through to Titled Douluo, he had heard Bibi Dong speak of it.

Advancing from Soul Douluo to Titled Douluo was a leap in one's very level of life, so it was naturally no small event.

But an energy pillar shooting into the clouds and dyeing half the sky red, like the sight before him, was simply too exaggerated, wasn't it?

"No, I have to go take a look!"

Ning Chen could no longer suppress the curiosity and concern in his heart.

He did not even have time to change clothes. He directly summoned the Emperor-Slaying Sword, leaped out the window, and turned into a streak of light as he flew at full speed toward the center of the energy eruption!

It was not that he feared Lingyuan would fail.

With an immortal-grade treasure like the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower assisting her, combined with Lingyuan's own deep accumulation, her breakthrough was practically certain.

He simply wanted to personally witness the birth of a Titled Douluo!

He could not miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Ning Chen was extremely fast, and within a few breaths, he had already flown into the air.

Looking down from high above, he discovered that Wuhun City had already descended into complete chaos.

Countless soul masters ran out from their residences, staring in terror at the horrifying phenomenon in the sky as they discussed it among themselves.

"My god! What... what is happening?!"

"What terrifying energy fluctuations!"

"Which great figure is cultivating? This commotion is far too huge!"

"Could it... could it be a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse fighting?!"

Spirit Hall's response was even swifter.

Squads of armor-clad temple guard knights had already begun patrolling the city, maintaining order and calming the populace.

Several powerful auras also rose from all directions within Spirit Hall, converging toward the center of the phenomenon.

When Ning Chen arrived above the small building where Lingyuan lived, he found that two people had gotten there before him.

One of them was tall and slender, with a feminine demeanor. Dressed in a pale moon-white robe and holding an enormous golden chrysanthemum in his hand, he was one of Spirit Hall's elders, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan.

The other person made Ning Chen's heart tighten even more.

She floated in midair, wearing an incomparably magnificent papal robe, a purple-gold crown upon her head and a scepter in her hand. Supreme majesty, as though she ruled the world, radiated from her entire body.

A faint smile rested on that peerlessly beautiful face as her violet eyes watched the small building below, shrouded in crimson light, with great interest.

Who else could she be but his teacher, the Pope, Bibi Dong?

"Teacher, Elder Yue."

Ning Chen flew over, put away the Emperor-Slaying Sword, and respectfully bowed.

"Oh? Chen'er, you came too?"

Bibi Dong turned to glance at him, the smile on her face deepening.

She seemed to be in a very good mood today and did not reprimand him for rushing out in such disheveled clothes.

"Your Highness, Holy Son."

Chrysanthemum Douluo at the side also gave Ning Chen a slight bow. His attitude was respectful, but the look in his eyes carried unconcealed complexity and shock.

He still remembered the immense impact Ning Chen had made when he had announced, right in front of him, that he had subdued Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

This Holy Son was becoming more and more impossible to see through.

Ning Chen nodded in response before turning his gaze downward.

The small building where Lingyuan lived was now completely enveloped by a huge hemispherical barrier formed from pure fire energy.

Within the barrier, crimson flames churned as terrifying energy fluctuations spread outward wave after wave.

The energy pillar piercing heaven and earth was shooting out from the top of that barrier.

"Teacher, this... Sister Lingyuan is..." Ning Chen knowingly asked.

"That's right."

Bibi Dong nodded, a trace of relief and emotion in her voice.

"It seems Spirit Hall will soon gain another Titled Douluo."

Upon hearing that, Chrysanthemum Douluo's face also showed sincere delight.

"Congratulations, Your Holiness! Congratulations! Spirit Hall has gained another fierce general. Unifying the continent is now within reach!" he said excitedly.

Every additional Titled Douluo made Spirit Hall that much stronger.

As a loyal supporter of Spirit Hall, he naturally welcomed it.

Hearing their conversation, Ning Chen also felt a surge of pride and smug satisfaction.

Hehe, this is all thanks to me!

But he did not dare show it on his face. He merely put on an equally delighted expression and said:

"That's wonderful! Sister Lingyuan has been stuck at level eighty-nine for several years. This time, she can finally have her wish fulfilled!"

Bibi Dong glanced at him and smiled meaningfully.

"Yes. This time, she truly has her 'good little brother' to thank."
