Although he was here, Dugu Bo had no intention of having anything to do with the Spirit Hall.
The main reason for his appearance was simply because Dugu Yan was also participating in the Soul Master Finals. If we were to elaborate a little further, perhaps Tang San, who was skilled in poisons, also held a certain significance in Dugu Bo's heart.
However, Dugu Bo would not participate in the occasion of the Pope the Spirit Hall's appearance at this moment.
He won't become a background figure behind the other person.
Amidst the watchful eyes of the crowd, His Holiness the Pope, with unparalleled majesty, emerged from the Pope's Palace and appeared before the entire assembly.
As Bibi Dong appeared, all the Soul Master from the Spirit Hall around her knelt down on one knee in unison towards Bibi Dong location.
In the arena, all three teams participating in the Soul Master Grand Finals, including the members of the Godwind Academy, knelt down on one knee in front of Bibi Dong with Frenzy expressions.
Within the Spirit Hall Academy, Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and others need no further introduction.
only...
At the Spirit Hall Academy, Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing simply bowed slightly towards Bibi Dong's location, without kneeling on one knee like the others.
But what truly drew everyone's attention was Shrek Academy!
Of the seven members of the Shrek Academy, only Zhou Yi initially intended to bow and kneel, but upon seeing that Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others remained still, a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, and he stopped.
Among the Shrek Seven Devils, Tang San has his own pride. Apart from the Grandmaster whom he acknowledges, he would never bow to Bibi Dong.
As a prince of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Mubai was now incredibly proud after defeating Dai Weisi, and naturally he would not bow his head.
As a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, with Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo above her, Ning Rongrong had no reason to bow down to the Spirit Hall.
Unbeknownst to anyone, among the Shrek Devils, Xiao Wu had her head down, her eyes bloodshot. Ever since Bibi Dong appeared, a deep hatred had been etched into her eyes.
However, facing Bibi Dong, who is now protected by many powerful figures from the Spirit Hall, Xiao Wu could only suppress the hatred in her heart.
"How dare you!"
Just then, one of the cardinals suddenly glared angrily at the crowd and shouted sternly:
"Why do you not kneel before His Holiness the Pope?"
As the cardinal's voice faded, everyone's gaze followed his roar and fell upon the standing crowd.
The most eye-catching group was undoubtedly the seven members of the Shrek Academy standing together, but then everyone's attention fell on Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing in the Spirit Hall Academy group.
Standing behind Bibi Dong in front of the Pope's Palace, Ning Fengzhi's eyes flashed with surprise when he saw Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing.
His gaze swept towards Bibi Dong ahead, then he turned back and exchanged a glance with Sword Douluo. Both of them saw the thoughtful look in each other's eyes.
The atmosphere in the arena suddenly became somewhat strange after the cardinal's rebuke.
However, just as everyone's gaze turned hostile, Bibi Dong's eyes fell on Tang San, and she spoke:
"So you are the Grandmaster's disciple?"
No one expected that the first person Bibi Dong would ask a question would be Tang San from the Shrek Academy.
"Yes, Your His Holiness the Pope."
Tang San was equally surprised that the Pope knew the Grandmaster, and answered in a humble yet assertive manner.
If it weren't for the attack by Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo on the way, Tang San would probably have thought that Bibi Dong and his teacher had an unusual relationship.
"Indeed, he resembles your teacher when he was young."
Bibi Dong nodded slightly and then looked away.
"Rise."
Bibi Dong spoke calmly, without reprimanding those who hadn't knelt and bowed to her. As she spoke to Tang San, the others stopped holding Tang San and the others' rudeness against her.
As for Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing...
As the current captain of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation, everyone in the Spirit Hall knows very well that Xiao Yan must have met His Holiness the Pope.
The fact that no kneeling ceremony was performed is seen by many as a special honor.
As everyone stood up, Bibi Dong's gaze swept over all twenty-one participating Soul Master, and she spoke calmly:
"I see hope in you all. Now, standing before the Pope's Palace, I hope to see even more of your talent and strength. The ultimate victor will receive the Spirit Hall's greatest reward!"
Bibi Dong spoke, she gently waved her scepter, and three points of light suddenly magnified in front of Bibi Dong, floating in mid-air.
As the three points of light gradually enlarged, the three objects came into everyone's view.
Three Soul Bone!
A right arm bone, a skull, and a left leg bone!
The three Soul Bone shimmered with fiery red, light blue, and dark green light, respectively.
Even at the Pope Mountain, the light emitted by the three Soul Bone was equally dazzling!
In an instant, the entire Spirit City erupted in excitement.
Even though the Spirit Hall had already announced that the champion team would receive three Soul Bone, seeing the three Soul Bone in person still made everyone's blood boil and their eyes gleam with greed!
Even within the Spirit Hall, many cardinals looked at the Soul Bone with deep envy.
After all, this is Soul Bone!
For any Soul Master, it is the most precious thing! It is something that can only be encountered by chance!
Like Soul Bone, Soul Ring are also classified into different levels of value based on their age and effects, with higher-level Soul Beast producing more powerful Soul Bone.
However, there is one exception among the Soul Bone, namely the External Soul Bone Eight Spider Lances that Tang San obtained!
Because External Soul Bone are the rarest, and are extremely rare Soul Bone with growth potential.
Besides External Soul Bone, ordinary Soul Bone are divided into six types: head, torso, and limbs!
Of the six types of Soul Bone, the most precious is naturally the Torso Soul Bone, followed by the Head Soul Bone. The difference between the other four limb Soul Bone is not that great.
As the three Soul Bone appeared, Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, who had been standing behind Pope Bibi Dong, slowly spoke:
"The three Soul Bone are the Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull, the Explosive Burning Flame Right Arm, and the Forward-Charging Wind-Chasing Left Leg."
These three Soul Bone all originated from Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Among them, the Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull, came from a fifty-thousand-year-old Soul Beast, which was personally slain by the His Holiness the Pope and is considered the finest among Soul Bone!
Gui Mei, deep voice echoed throughout the venue, stirring the emotions of all the contestants.
Bibi Dong's gaze swept over the crowd, noticing the fervor and greed in their eyes. Her expression remained calm as she spoke:
"There can only be one winner, and the same goes for the champion. The final winner among your three teams will receive these three Soul Bone. I hope you will give it your all and strive for this honor!"
"This morning, each of your three teams sent seven players to compete in an individual elimination tournament. The remaining teams will have an advantage and will directly compete for the championship tomorrow."
The two losing teams will compete for the other spot in the final this afternoon. Now, you can send your first player onto the field.
