Outside the gates of the Spirit Hall.
Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing followed Elder She and entered the headquarters of the Spirit Hall without any hindrance.
Not far away, a white building caught Xiao Yan's eye; it was the magnificent building he had seen when he entered Spirit City.
A look of shock appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes.
Even though he had witnessed the dazzling and decadent world of his previous life, Xiao Yan was still awestruck by the magnificent and massive palace that resembled a castle.
The towering white building, with its shimmering array of lights and golden carvings, resembled a fine work of art.
Even before it arrived, an aura of majesty and holiness emanated from it, making people dare not overstep their bounds.
Elder She noticed Xiao Yan's gaze and took the initiative to explain, "That's the Pope's Palace over there."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's mind stirred.
Is that where the Pope the Spirit Hall works?
It was truly incredibly luxurious.
Elder She, as Titled Douluo, belongs to the Elder Hall of the Spirit Hall, so even ordinary Spirit Hall disciples must bow to him.
Along the way, Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing had already sensed terrifying auras from many of the Soul Master belonging to the Spirit Hall.
However, upon seeing Elder She, everyone stopped and bowed.
Even Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing, who were following behind Elder She, couldn't help but be scrutinized.
Along the way, Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing gained a clear understanding of the power of the Spirit Hall.
Within the headquarters of the Spirit Hall, there is a Soul King every three steps and a Soul Emperor every five steps.
Even among Soul Saint and Soul Douluo, Xiao Yan had already seen no fewer than twenty people since arriving at the Spirit Hall gates!
Such terrifying resources filled Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing with awe at the power of the Spirit Hall.
" Elder She, His Holiness the Pope is currently inside the hall. Please follow me."
A figure clad in armor, exuding an aura of profound mystery, slowly walked in front of Xiao Yan and his companions. He bowed to Elder She, who was leading the group, and then stepped aside to guide the three of them inside.
Elder She nodded slightly and took the lead, walking forward.
Xiao Yan's gaze fell on the middle-aged man. Even though the man did not actively reveal his aura, Xiao Yan could still feel the extremely strong pressure emanating from him, thanks to the special perception of his Soul Division Martial Soul.
Even when Flender was at the Soul Saint level, Xiao Yan had never felt such terrifying pressure.
However, compared to Elder She, who was at the Titled Douluo level, he was much weaker.
Without a doubt, the middle-aged man before them was another powerful expert at the Soul Douluo level!
The two followed Elder She, winding their way closer and closer to the Pope's Palace, which symbolized the core of the Spirit Hall's power. The palace was surrounded by white jade railings carved with various Soul Beast.
The Spirit Hall disciples standing guard all around held long spears and wore armor, standing like statues in place.
Soon, Xiao Yan and his group arrived outside the gates of the Pope's Palace.
" She Long pays his respects to His Holiness the Pope."
She Long sensed the terrifying aura within the Pope's Palace, bowed slightly, and remained completely calm.
Elder She is back?
A woman's voice rang out in the Pope's Palace, majestic and dignified. Although they had never met, Xiao Yan could feel the noble air of someone in a superior position.
"Come in."
A soft voice rang out, Elder She led Xiao Yan and the other into the Pope's Palace.
Inside the Pope's Palace, everything was resplendent in gold and jade, with the walls inlaid with various gemstones that shimmered under the patterns of arrays.
Upon entering the Pope's Palace, Xiao Yan's gaze was immediately drawn to the magnificent figure before him.
A long golden dress hugged her alluring figure, and her pale purple eyes were undeniably charming, yet seemed to convey a chilling, deathly stillness.
" Xiao Yan greets His Holiness the Pope."
" Zhu Zhuqing greets His Holiness the Pope."
Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing bowed slightly. The other party was the supreme being of the entire Spirit Hall, far surpassing the two of them in both strength and status.
As a member of the Star Luo Empire, Zhu Zhuqing was also aware of some of the family's secrets.
If it weren't for Xiao Yan's sake, she wouldn't have ended up as a member of the Spirit Hall by chance.
"You must be the people Xue'er mentioned in her letter? Truly, heroes emerge from among the young..."
Bibi Dong's gaze swept over Xiao Yan and the other person, finally settling on Xiao Yan.
Because Xiao Yan, like her, possesses the extremely rare Twin Martial Souls.
Bibi Dong's gaze made Xiao Yan feel a sense of pressure.
Elder She, standing to the side, did not speak.
Given Bibi Dong's personality and status, she wouldn't lay a hand on the two dolls.
Moreover, Xiao Yan and the other person were specifically instructed by His Highness to be sent back.
Bibi Dong's gaze fell on Xiao Yan, causing the pressure on Xiao Yan to gradually increase.
Feeling the immense weight on his body, Xiao Yan Qian Jun to mobilize his Soul Power to resist.
Bibi Dong gradually intensified the pressure she exerted on Xiao Yan, a hint of surprise rising in her pale purple eyes.
The other party had only just broken through to the Soul Ancestor realm.
However, the pressure I'm currently releasing is already close to that of Soul King, and it's clear that I haven't reached the opponent's limit yet.
Bibi Dong also wanted to know where Xiao Yan's limits truly lay.
A faint purple light flickered in his eyes, and the pressure on Xiao Yan increased once again.
"Boom!"
White flames surged forth, burning within Xiao Yan's body to resist Bibi Dong's oppressive aura.
"Huh?"
With the eruption of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, Bibi Dong immediately realized the special nature of Xiao Yan's martial soul—it could actually affect her?
However, the difference in their cultivation levels was too great, Bibi Dong only slightly mobilized her Soul Power before the suppression she was under disappeared.
At this moment, the pressure she released had reached the level of Soul King, but it still hadn't reached Xiao Yan's limit.
Seeing Xiao Yan's determined expression, Bibi Dong's aura gradually approached that of the Emperor Realm.
Level 59!
Although Xiao Yan's body was trembling slightly at this moment.
But they still did not fall.
"It has such resilience..."
Bibi Dong was surprised and suspicious, after all, she knew that the boy in front of her had not yet released his Second Martial Soul!
"Kid, unleash your Martial Soul to the fullest, let me see your limits."
Bibi Dong spoke calmly, her voice carrying an undeniable authority.
Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, Xiao Yan did not hesitate at all. Trembling, he gently cupped his hands towards Bibi Dong and then spoke:
"I'm sorry!"
"Laugh!"
A black figure emerged from behind Xiao Yan Xiao Yan instantly merged into his body.
In an instant, the pressure Xiao Yan was under was no longer enough to frighten Xiao Yan. Although it still had a suppressive effect, it was not something he could not resist.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong suddenly increased her pressure on Xiao Yan to the Soul Emperor Realm!
Xiao Yan's expression changed.
However, thanks to the enhanced physical attributes resulting from the fusion of the Soul Division Martial Soul, he was still able to resist.
Bibi Dong looked at Xiao Yan with surprise in her eyes.
Having just broken through to level 40, yet remaining unscathed in the face of the Soul Emperor Realm's pressure, Bibi Dong's evaluation of Xiao Yan rose to a new level.
"It seems Nana has found a rival..."
Bibi Dong glanced at Xiao Yan again. When the pressure she released reached level 65, she could sense that Xiao Yan was approaching his limit.
They lost the will to investigate further.
As for Xiao Yan, under such terrifying pressure from Bibi Dong, the fusion of his Martial Soul, coupled with his previous experience of having his Martial Soul devoured by Grandmaster, all contributed to his situation.
This seemed to have elevated his control over the two Martial Soul to a new level.
A flash of inspiration crossed my mind, but this was not about exploring knowledge.
"Thank you for your guidance His Holiness the Pope."
Feeling the pressure dissipate from his body, Xiao Yan, covered in sweat, bowed to Bibi Dong.
"You've just gotten back, so please go and rest."
Bibi Dong did not respond, but turned and walked towards the Pope's Palace, only saying:
As Bibi Dong left, Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly approached Xiao Yan, her eyes filled with concern.
"I'm fine."
Xiao Yan gently shook his head, offering some words of comfort to Zhu Zhuqing.
Elder She, being Titled Douluo, naturally returned to the Elder Hall. Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing, being of different statuses, could not enter the Elder Hall. Under the guidance of a Soul Master, they were arranged to go to the Spirit Hall Academy.
Before leaving, Elder She handed a token to Xiao Yan and said:
"This is His Highness's token. With it, even Titled Douluo within the palace cannot attack you without cause."
