" Your His Holiness the Pope, I want to know how you overcame the challenge of having Twin Martial Souls."
Yu Xiaogang cast a pleading look at Bibi Dong.
"I was fortunate enough to take in a disciple named Tang San. Like you, he also Twin Martial Souls. I don't want to see Xiao San end up like all the other Twin Martial Souls possessors before him, dying from his body exploding!"
Bibi Dong gripped her scepter tightly and sneered, "Heh, Yu Xiaogang, Yu Xiaogang. This disciple of yours must be very important to you, right? Otherwise, given your personality, you definitely wouldn't have come to me. But what do all this have to do with me? If there's nothing else, you can leave."
Yu Xiaogang noticed that Bibi Dong was very indifferent and didn't seem to want to tell him the secret of not having his Twin Martial Souls explode, which made him a little anxious.
" Your His Holiness the Pope, can't you tell me the secret of why these Twin Martial Souls don't explode? It won't affect you at all!"
Bibi Dong said, "Your disciple isn't a member of our Spirit Hall. Twin Martial Souls possessor has limitless potential. Since he doesn't belong to our Spirit Hall, he could become our enemy in the future. Why would I aid the enemy? Unless he's willing to join our Spirit Hall."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang felt a little guilty.
Tang San is the son of Haotian Douluo Tang Hao, and has a blood feud with the Spirit Hall. How could he possibly join the Spirit Hall?
But Bibi Dong showed no mercy and resolutely refused to tell him, which Yu Xiaogang never expected.
"I have no children of my own, so he's like my own child. I hope you can help me this once, out of consideration for our past relationship."
Upon hearing the words "no children," Bibi Dong suddenly became interested.
"What does it matter to me that you have no children? Wasn't it your family that crippled you? You should go find the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
Yu Xiaogang's face turned deathly pale instantly.
She knew. She already knew. She already knew she was a useless, good-for-nothing.
Yu Xiaogang was both ashamed and anxious, his voice trembling slightly. " Your His Holiness the Pope, since you are unwilling to tell me the secret of Twin Martial Souls not exploding, there is no need to humiliate me."
"I'm going to humiliate you!" Bibi Dong's voice suddenly turned cold, her gaze fixed on him icyly. "You know perfectly well that Tang San is Tang Hao's son, a remnant of the Clear Sky Sect, yet you shamelessly come here, hoping to use our past relationship to trick me into revealing the cultivation method for Twin Martial Souls. You're the one humiliating me!"
Yu Xiaogang's pupils dilated in shock. "You... you already know everything."
Bibi Dong's face grew even darker. " Yu Xiaogang, you'd better tell your disciple to disappear immediately. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving Spirit City!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened in anger, and he shouted in a loud voice, " Bibi Dong, Xiao San is still a child! How could you lay a hand on him!"
"Listen to me carefully: if anything happens to Tang San in Spirit City, I will destroy the Spirit Hall at all costs!"
Bibi Dong suddenly laughed, a cold laugh filled with mockery.
"You're a piece of trash who'll never even break through level 30 in your entire life, who gave you the audacity to say such a thing?"
"I'm not killing you now, which is already out of consideration for our past relationship!"
"Guards! Throw this arrogant scoundrel out of the Papal Palace with clubs!"
Two Hall Guard Knight immediately entered from outside.
Bibi Dong flicked her sleeve, signaling to quickly drag him away.
The two Hall Guard Knight, who already disliked Yu Xiaogang, received orders and grabbed his arms from either side, dragging him out without a word.
Yu Xiaogang's face changed drastically, and he struggled to shout, " Bibi Dong, you can't do this to me! You can't do this to me!"
His feet were futilely stomping on the polished marble floor, and he was still shouting, but his voice was fading into the distance.
After the Hall Guard Knight dragged Yu Xiaogang out of the Papal Palace, they showed no mercy, picking up their guns and beating him mercilessly without a word.
Two knights, one specializing in hitting Yu Xiaogang's face, the other specializing in hitting Yu Xiaogang's legs.
The Hall Guard Knight all possessed at least the cultivation level of Soul King, while Yu Xiaogang was merely a useless Soul Grandmaster. How could he withstand the Hall Guard Knight' merciless beating?
Yu Xiaogang was instantly knocked to the ground, his face swollen like a pig's head, and the bones in his right foot were already shattered. He crawled out, howling in pain.
I never expected this!
I came here to meet my naive and foolish ex-lover, but I ended up being stripped naked and beaten up.
The Hall Guard Knight, fearing that killing Yu Xiaogang would pollute the Papal Palace, each grabbed one of Yu Xiaogang's arms and carried him to the stone steps of the Papal Palace, where they threw him down.
"Get out of here, you piece of trash!" the leading knight spat. "How dare you insult His Holiness the Pope! Get out of Spirit City right now! If I see you again in Spirit City, I'll beat you to death!"
Yu Xiaogang tumbled down the steps in a sorry state, letting out another wail.
The Hall Guard Knight, still not satisfied, brandished their spears and chased after them again.
Ignoring the pain all over his body, Yu Xiaogang struggled with his hands and crawled desperately towards the city gate like a dog.
Once outside Spirit City, Yu Xiaogang felt a sense of relief. He struggled to lean against the city wall, secretly vowing, " Bibi Dong, you just wait until the finals. I'll make sure Xiao San defeats your Spirit Hall Team. Spirit Hall, you can forget about winning the championship!"
The pain from his broken leg and the swelling on his face caused Yu Xiaogang to suddenly faint.
Ten days later, the Star Luo Empire's team of Soul Master finally arrived at Spirit City.
Nothing unexpected happened during the journey; the process was uneventful, which surprised Dai Mubai somewhat.
He had expected the Spirit Hall to cause some trouble along the way, but nothing unusual happened until the outline of Spirit City appeared at the edge of his field of vision.
Looking at the majestic Spirit City before him, Dai Mubai muttered to himself: Something's not right, something's definitely not right.
Spirit City is located at the border of the two great empires and was established solely by the Spirit Hall, so neither of the two great empires has any ownership of Spirit City.
From a distance, although Spirit City is as famous as Star Luo City and Heaven Dou City, it is much smaller in scale, only about one-tenth the size of the two imperial capitals.
As the group drew closer, a sense of oppression washed over them.
The entire city is hexagonal in shape, with a hill surrounding the center.
Although Spirit City is not large in area, its city walls are as high as those of Star Luo City.
The city has six walls, each eighty meters high, built of massive, dark gray-white stones that gleam with a dull light, making them incredibly sturdy.
What is particularly striking is that each of the six city walls is carved with a huge relief, which is exactly the same as the pattern on the Spirit Hall token.
They represent six powerful Martial Soul: sword, hammer, dragon, phoenix, tortoise, and tiger.
These six Martial Soul are hailed as the most powerful Martial Soul on the Douluo Continent, and are also symbols of power revered by the Spirit Hall.
Dai Mubai looked up and saw a giant tiger in the relief on the city wall near the Star Luo Empire.
Two thousand Star Luo Empire Iron Cavalry set up camp outside the city, while sixteen Soul Master teams entered the Spirit City.
When the group arrived at the gates of Spirit City, a bishop dressed in red came to greet them and led more than two hundred people through the gates to their lodgings.
