" Xiao Yi, why have you been absorbing the Angel Divine Power that surrounds Spirit City? At this rate, you could probably absorb all the Divine Power I've been cultivating for nearly five years in just five days."
Qian Daoliu's tone was very calm, without a trace of accusation, but rather with a hint of curiosity.
"Um?"
Jun Yi was somewhat puzzled. From the time the tinnitus appeared until now, he had not meditated or cultivated at all, so how could he be talking about absorbing Divine Power?
"Child, your body is indeed absorbing Angel Divine Power. I originally intended to tell you this after you had recovered somewhat, but I never expected that the guardian of the Angel Godhood would come to you on his own initiative."
The voice of the Ice Dragon King emanated from within Jun Yi's body.
"Why didn't I notice anything?" Jun Yi pressed.
The Ice Dragon King replied, "Perhaps it's because you haven't examined it carefully enough, but as the guardian said, your body is currently like a vortex, absorbing the surrounding Divine Power."
Meanwhile, Jun Yi's puzzled expression, Qian Daoliu roughly guessed that Jun Yi was also unaware of this.
"It seems you yourself don't know what happened, but it doesn't matter. Xue'er told me Hiyori that you are one of us, and a little bit of Angel Divine Power isn't particularly precious. If you don't have enough Divine Power in Spirit City, just take this token to the Worship Hall and find me."
Qian Daoliu took out a golden waist token engraved with Six-Winged Angel and handed it to Jun Yi. Then, he turned into a beam of light and disappeared from Jun Yi's sight. After carefully examining the golden token, Jun Yi put it into his Soul Tool ring.
Based on Qian Daoliu's words, Jun Yi deduced that Qian Renxue had actually arrived in Spirit City. However, the phrase "you are one of us" made Jun Yi fall into deep thought. The last group to treat Jun Yi as one of their own was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect...
Soon, Jun Yi and his group were arranged to rest in the eastern area of Spirit City. The Spirit Hall also sent word that the competition would officially begin in three days. After a long journey, these three days of rest would be enough for each academy to adjust.
The Star Luo Empire's participating academies were arranged to rest on the other side of Spirit City. In effect, the Spirit Hall had divided the participating teams from the two great empires into two camps.
Zhu Zhuqing also received the news and had to go back to prepare for the finals, so she left after dropping Jun Yi and the others off at their accommodations.
Jun Yi, meanwhile, was cultivating in his room and examining his body. He also confirmed that he had been absorbing divine Divine Power from the surroundings, and that he could hear a crackling sound in his ears from time to time. Therefore, Jun Yi concluded that it wasn't him absorbing Divine Power, but rather the system.
"Recovery rate: 10%"
A broken voice reached Jun Yi's ears, filling Jun Yi with joy and giving him a glimmer of hope.
Jun Yi hurriedly called out, "System, can you hear me? System?"
Accompanied by a crackling sound, Jun Yi clearly heard the system's reply, "... Can..."
Upon receiving the reply, Jun Yi was overjoyed. Just as Jun Yi was about to ask something else, the crackling sound disappeared, and the system fell silent.
After several more calls, the system still didn't respond, but Jun Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Based on the system's intermittent responses, Jun Yi guessed that the system had recovered 10% of its power. He just needed to stay in a place with abundant Divine Power, and the system would eventually recover.
Lying next to Jun Yi, Dugu Yan saw him open his eyes and asked, " Jun Yi, the competition is about to start today, shall we go watch?"
"Didn't our seeded team get a bye in the first two rounds and advance directly to the top 16?" Jun Yi asked rhetorically.
"Yes," Dugu Yan nodded in reply.
"Then there's no need to go. You should use this time to cultivate properly. If you can't keep cultivating, I'll accompany you to stroll around Spirit City."
Jun Yi was once a visiting student at the Spirit Hall Academy, so he knows Spirit City quite well.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan instantly perked up, immediately got out of bed, slipped on her high heels, grabbed Jun Yi's arm, and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go."
I think you just want to go shopping.
"Lol"
Meanwhile, in the study inside the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong Bibi Dong received an urgent letter from the Spirit Hall Branch of Heaven Dou City. When she learned the contents of the letter, she was slightly surprised.
" Tang Hao actually escaped from prison? As expected of the Clear Sky Douluo, he certainly has some tricks up his sleeve."
The letter contained news of Tang Hao's escape from the dungeon of the Spirit Hall Branch in Heaven Dou City. Bibi Dong was not particularly angry after learning this news.
For Bibi Dong, she didn't actually hate Tang Hao that much. On the contrary, she was grateful to him for intervening and seriously injuring Qian Xunji, which gave her the opportunity to kill him and devour the Angel Martial Soul to obtain the inheritance of the Rakshasa God. It can be said that if it weren't for Tang Hao, Bibi Dong would likely be in a very difficult situation. Although that is still the case now, at least Bibi Dong has become the Pope and has her own voice.
Tang Hao became Bibi Dong's scapegoat. As for the wanted notice for him, it was just for show. After all, as the Pope of the Spirit Hall and Qian Xunji's disciple, it was only right for her to avenge him. But emotionally, Bibi Dong wished she could Qian Xunji to pieces again. Even if she made him die a thousand or ten thousand times, it wouldn't be too much.
Bibi Dong also began writing a reply, punishing all the Soul Master guards who were watching over Tang Hao for dereliction of duty. However, since the escapee was Haotian Douluo Tang Hao, even if everyone risked their lives to keep him, they only deducted one month's salary as a warning to others.
"Mom, isn't this punishment too lenient?" Qian Renxue's voice reached Bibi Dong's ears.
Bibi Dong sighed softly and said, "Today is the start of the competition. As the chief envoy of the Heaven Dou Empire, what brings you here?"
" Xue Qinghe arrived in Spirit City today on official business. Due to the long journey, he can only rest for a day first."
Qian Renxue then gave her own answer.
" Qian Renxue, did Qian Daoliu say something to you? Why have you been bothering me all this time?"
Bibi Dong turned to look at Qian Renxue seriously. For the past ten days or so, Qian Renxue had come to the Imperial Study every day and stayed there for the whole day. The key was that she only helped her with some matters and offered some suggestions, without discussing any other topics. This made Bibi Dong unable to understand what Qian Renxue wanted to do.
At first, she also wanted to drive Qian Renxue out, but Qian Renxue seemed to have grasped her weakness, directly using her Soul Bone Skill to transform into her childhood self, crying and looking at Bibi Dong. This made Bibi Dong unable to bear driving her out...
