Douluo: My System is Too Awesome! Chapter 28

When she saw Bai Ye, even Bibi Dong could not help but flash a look of amazement in her eyes. She was drawn in by his flawless, handsome face and his mysterious, profound aura, like a starry sky.

This little guy seemed to have become much better-looking after just one year apart.

If Xiaogang and I had not separated back then, would we have been able to have such a beautiful child too?

Xiaogang...

Thinking of Yu Xiaogang all of a sudden, Bibi Dong's expression stiffened after she came back to her senses, and she could not help recalling the past.

Remembering those painful memories, Bibi Dong's jade hand gripping the Pope's Scepter suddenly tightened. The thoughts Bai Ye had stirred within her instantly calmed, and her face returned to its previous dignified, noble, and unruffled appearance.

"I heard that you encountered Evil Spirit Masters causing trouble on your way back?"

Looking at Bai Ye, Bibi Dong asked slowly.

"Yes, Your Holiness!"

Bai Ye bowed as he replied.

"Because of the suppression by our Spirit Hall, Evil Spirit Masters on the Douluo Continent have always been kept under control. Powerful Evil Spirit Masters are almost nonexistent."

"However, with your talent and strength, you should have been able to handle Evil Spirit Masters at the Spirit Master and Soul Grandmaster levels."

"But the Holy Hall of Judgment reported that you actually killed the Blood Bat King of the Blood Bat Cult. The Blood Bat King was a Spirit King. How did you kill him?"

Bibi Dong frowned slightly as she voiced the doubt in her heart.

"Uh... Your Holiness, it was not actually me who killed the Blood Bat King. When I encountered the Evil Spirit Masters causing trouble, a powerful senior Spirit Master happened to pass by and killed the Blood Bat King, along with all the other Evil Spirit Masters."

"However, that senior did not care about the credit. He only had me take the Blood Bat King's head back to report to the Holy Hall of Judgment, so that our Spirit Hall could help settle the victimized villagers."

Bai Ye had long anticipated Bibi Dong's question and had already thought of an excuse. He scratched his head with feigned embarrassment as he replied.

"A passing Spirit Master helped?"

Hearing Bai Ye's answer, Bibi Dong's brows furrowed slightly. She did not quite believe him.

As the Pope of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong had always paid attention to Spirit Hall's suppression and extermination of Evil Spirit Masters, so she naturally knew how cunning and treacherous they were.

According to the report submitted by the Holy Hall of Judgment, Pingshan Village, where the Evil Spirit Masters had caused trouble, was an extremely remote place. Even the nearest city was a full day and night's journey away.

The Evil Spirit Masters had likely targeted Pingshan Village precisely because it was so far from any city.

In such a remote village, it was generally almost impossible for a Spirit Master to pass by.

According to the report from the Holy Hall of Judgment, as well as Bai Ye's own explanation, he had passed by because he wanted to enjoy the scenery of the Douluo Continent while returning to Spirit City.

Since he had left Nuoding City and traveled directly toward Spirit City, he had passed near Pingshan Village and discovered the Evil Spirit Masters causing trouble.

But how could there be such a coincidence in the world? Just as Bai Ye passed through Pingshan Village, a powerful Spirit Master happened to pass by as well.

To kill an Evil Spirit Master at the Spirit King level, one with extremely strong survival abilities, Bibi Dong was certain that if Bai Ye was telling the truth, the passing Spirit Master had to be at least a Spirit Sage.

What Spirit Master would go out of their way to visit such a godforsaken backwater as Pingshan Village?

However, Bibi Dong did not comment on Bai Ye's explanation. Whether he was telling the truth or lying, even if he had secrets, as long as they posed no threat to her, she could not be bothered to ask.

After all, who in this world did not have secrets?

She had summoned Bai Ye and asked how he had killed the Blood Bat King only in passing. What she truly wanted to ask was another question.

"So that is how it was..."

Bibi Dong nodded noncommittally at Bai Ye's answer, as though she believed him. Then her tone shifted as she asked,

"Now that you have returned to Spirit City, you should be planning to stay here from now on, correct?"

"Yes, Your Holiness."

Bai Ye nodded repeatedly.

He was not stupid! Compared to Nuoding Academy, which could offer him practically nothing, Spirit Hall had no idea how many resources it could provide.

If he had not wanted to fulfill a dream from his previous life by going to Nuoding Academy to pursue Xiao Wu, he would never have chosen to leave Spirit City for some Nuoding Academy!

Now that he had returned, Bai Ye would naturally remain in Spirit City and use the resources provided by Spirit Hall to rapidly improve his cultivation!

In the original story, Tang San had spent six years at Nuoding Academy and relied only on the Mysterious Heaven Skill to cultivate from Innate Full Soul Power to a level twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster!

As a transmigrator, Tang San had Cultivation Methods and Martial Arts. Bai Ye did too, and they might even be stronger. On top of that, Bai Ye also had Spirit Hall's resources to help him.

His cultivation could not possibly improve more slowly than Tang San's over six years, right?

He had set himself a small goal: reach the Soul Elder level within six years!

"Good! Since you plan to remain in Spirit City, and your cultivation has already surpassed the Spirit Master level..."

"Have you decided whether you plan to study at Spirit City Junior Spirit Master Academy or Spirit City Intermediate Spirit Master Academy?"

Upon hearing Bai Ye's answer, Bibi Dong spoke slowly in her dignified yet cold voice.

"Ah!"

Bai Ye was somewhat stunned to discover that Bibi Dong was asking whether he wanted to attend Spirit City Junior Spirit Master Academy or Spirit City Intermediate Spirit Master Academy.

He truly had not considered this question, much less expected Bibi Dong to ask him about it.

"Your Holiness, is there any difference between choosing the Junior Spirit Master Academy and the Intermediate Spirit Master Academy?"

Thinking that Bibi Dong must have some purpose in asking, Bai Ye's heart stirred, and he feigned confusion as he asked.

"There is certainly a difference, though it is not very significant."

"However, if you choose to enroll in Spirit City Junior Spirit Master Academy, I only need to send word, and you can enroll tomorrow and begin studying there."

"But if you wish to enroll in Spirit Hall Intermediate Spirit Master Academy, then you will need to participate in Spirit Hall's annual Genius Selection Competition!"

Looking at Bai Ye, Bibi Dong spoke slowly.

"The Genius Selection Competition?"
