Bibi Dong slowly shook her head.
We can't take the risk.
With a gentle wave of her right hand, three jade boxes flew out from her Storage Soul Tool and hovered in the center of the hall.
"These three Soul Bone were originally intended as a reward for winning this competition. But just to be on the safe side, you should absorb them first. This will give you a better chance of defeating Star Luo Second Team. I will make other plans for the championship reward."
Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan all began to breathe heavily, their gazes fixed on the Soul Bone.
Wisdom Skull aged 50,000 years, Flame Right Arm Bone aged 30,000 years, and a left leg bone of gale aged 20,000 years.
Three top-grade, Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, each priceless.
And now, the Pope is actually going to bestow them directly upon the three of them.
"Teacher..."
Hu Liena suppressed her excitement and was about to speak.
"Who would have thought that even the Pope of the Spirit Hall would have moments of fear?"
A cold, clear female voice came from outside the palace gate, carrying undisguised mockery.
Upon hearing the voice, Bibi Dong knew who it was. Her expression immediately turned cold, and her delicate brows furrowed slightly.
Hu Liena and the other two also turned around and looked towards the palace gate.
The palace doors were pushed open, and a stunningly beautiful woman with a cold and aloof demeanor slowly walked into the palace.
She looked to be in her early twenties, wearing a long, golden palace dress. Her long, golden hair was casually draped behind her, her skin was as white as snow, her nose was straight, and her slightly narrow phoenix eyes held a sharp edge. Her stunningly beautiful face was full of arrogance.
It was Qian Renxue.
Bibi Dong looked at Qian Renxue with displeasure and said in a gloomy tone, "What are you doing here?"
Qian Renxue stood still in the hall, her gaze sweeping over Hu Liena and the other two with a condescending disdain.
Then, she turned to Bibi Dong, her tone devoid of any fear. "The news of the Soul Bone reward has already spread throughout the entire continent. In the two great empires and various academies, who doesn't know that this year's champion will receive three Soul Bone? If you can't produce them at the last minute, do you want the entire continent to laugh at the Spirit Hall Spirit Hall and ruin its reputation?"
Bibi Dong didn't speak, she just stared at her coldly.
Qian Renxue didn't mind and continued, "If you're really worried about these three good-for-nothings you've trained, I can personally take charge of the final championship match."
Faced with this blatant humiliation, a flash of anger crossed the eyes of Hu Liena and the other two.
However, the three of them dared not speak out against their anger. Although they did not know who Qian Renxue was, she was someone who was not even afraid of the Pope. They had been in the Spirit Hall for many years and had some sense of her.
Bibi Dong was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Why should I believe you can do it?"
Qian Renxue slightly raised her chin, her tone carrying an innate arrogance. "I'm already level sixty-six. Do you think I can't defeat a Soul King?"
Level 66!
Hu Liena and the other two looked shocked upon hearing this.
The beautiful woman before him, who didn't seem much older than him, was already a level 66 Soul Emperor.
The three considered themselves exceptionally talented among their peers in the Spirit Hall, never expecting this person to be so much stronger than them!
Qian Renxue ignored the three's reactions and continued, "Whether you advance directly to the final championship match or lose to Star Luo Second Team and fall into the loser's bracket this afternoon, it doesn't matter."
" The Heaven Dou Second Team is nothing to worry about. In the individual elimination rounds, they are no match for the Spirit Hall Team and the Star Luo Second Team. Therefore, they will definitely focus their efforts on the loser's bracket team battle tomorrow afternoon."
"I've already relayed the intelligence back to the Spirit Hall. The only trump card of the Heaven Dou Second Team is the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill. I believe you already have a way to deal with it. Even if you fall into the loser's bracket, you'll still be able to win."
"So, as long as you can successfully enter the Championship Tournament, then Dai Mubai of Star Luo Second Team will be in my hands."
After saying that, she pointed to the three jade boxes and said, "These three Soul Bone will still be the prizes for the competition. But in the finals, I will personally defeat Dai Mubai."
Qian Renxue's arrangement was clearly intended to give Dai Mubai a beating.
That jerk always embarrasses her; he always shakes her hand whenever they meet.
She held a grudge for being outmaneuvered time and time again.
Bibi Dong leaned back on her throne, her fingers tapping lightly on the armrest.
Although it's unclear why Qian Renxue volunteered to participate, her skills are indeed impressive.
With one Soul Emperor possessing a god-level Martial Soul, plus three Soul King top-tier Martial Soul, the chances of winning the championship would be much greater.
Moreover, even if they ultimately fail, the blame can be shifted to Qian Renxue, which is killing two birds with one stone.
As for the issue of the participant list having already been submitted, that's not a problem.
The Spirit Hall is the organizer of this competition, while the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire are co-organizers. As long as both parties agree, it's fine.
Qian Renxue could then represent the Heaven Dou Empire in agreeing.
After a moment's thought, Bibi Dong finally spoke, "Alright, in that case, I agree to your proposal. The three Soul Bone will still be the prize for the competition. But you must promise me that you will do your best to kill Dai Mubai in the finals."
Qian Renxue paused slightly. "Why?"
Qian Renxue really wanted to beat Dai Mubai up to vent her anger, but she never thought of killing Dai Mubai. To be honest, she just wanted to conquer him.
Bibi Dong slowly said, "Because the Spirit Hall has reached a secret agreement with Dai Weisi. They will take advantage of the competition to kill Dai Mubai and help Dai Weisi ascend to the position of Crown Prince. The condition is that from now on, he must obey the Spirit Hall."
Qian Renxue's pupils suddenly contracted.
She suddenly realized that she had underestimated this woman.
The Spirit Hall, on the one hand, disguised itself as Xue Qinghe, plotting against the Heaven Dou Empire.
On the other hand, through Dai Weisi, they extended their reach to the Star Luo Empire.
Such ruthless methods.
Qian Renxue was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "I only promised to help you defeat him; I don't care about anything else. If you want to kill him, do it yourselves."
After saying that, Qian Renxue left the Papal Palace without looking back.
Bibi Dong waved her right hand, taking the three jade boxes back. "Go back and prepare well."
Hu Liena and the other two exchanged glances, a hint of disappointment in their eyes. The three Soul Bone they had obtained had vanished after all.
"If you don't win the championship, you won't get a single piece." Bibi Dong's cold voice rang out.
The three men stiffened and bowed in unison. "Yes, Teacher ( Your His Holiness the Pope )! We will never let you down!"
Meanwhile, Dai Mubai arrived at the hotel specially prepared for VIPs by the Spirit Hall and found Ning Fengzhi.
Dai Mubai knocked on the door and entered, then closed it behind him.
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo Chen Xin were sitting by the window drinking tea.
"Father-in-law, Grandpa Jian."
Ning Fengzhi raised an eyebrow slightly. " Mubai, sit down. What happened?"
Dai Mubai sat down opposite him, not in a hurry to speak, but first looked at Chen Xin: " Grandpa Jian, please make sure no one is eavesdropping around."
Chen Xin's Soul Power surged suddenly, and an invisible barrier spread out from him, enveloping the entire suite and isolating all sound and breath within.
Having done all that, he said calmly, "Now that no one can hear our conversation, we can speak."
