Chapter 133

"This is troublesome. Tang Hao's strength has probably reached the Peak Douluo, but I don't know if it's around level ninety. My current strength is around level ninety-four or ninety-five. A sneak attack would not be able to hurt Tang Hao at all. Moreover, the power he unleashed at the end was terrifying. Even your Pope didn't dare to stop him."

The students at the Skywater Academy were all a bit down. When Ice Empress returned, she thought it was because of her, and playfully touched her head, explaining.

"It's alright, Senior Ice Empress. I didn't expect that Tang Hao would still have some strength left during the battle in the canyon. The power he unleashed today proves why he dared to attack the Pope's Palace alone. He is indeed incredibly powerful."

Yu Tianshuang still vividly remembered Tang Hao's final strike that destroyed the Angel Statue. It was indeed a display of dominance and unparalleled arrogance. It was a pity that this time, she neither managed to capture Tang Hao and his son nor get any information about her parents. Moreover, by letting the tiger return to the mountain, with Tang San's Twin Martial Souls and his endless array of tricks, there would likely be endless troubles in the future.

"Alright, now that the culprit has escaped, Yu Xiaogang, considering that you, as an elder of the Spirit Hall, didn't intervene and aided the wicked, I'll acknowledge Shrek Academy's second-place ranking. Now, please, the top three academies, come forward to receive your honors and rewards."

One has to admire Bibi Dong's magnanimity. As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, even after such a major upheaval, with the Angel Statue symbolizing the Spirit Hall's authority being smashed by Tang Hao, she could still calmly gather everyone to accept the reward. This is truly admirable.

"The prizes for the champion of the competition are: the Wisdom Condensing Mind Skull, the Exploding Burning Flame Right Arm, and the Rapid Advance Wind Chasing Left Leg. Please invite the captain of the Skywater Academy to come to the stage to receive the prizes."

Shui Bing'er tilted her head and looked at Yu Tianshuang. With his encouraging gaze, she went on stage to receive the champion's reward, and then remained silent, clearly still recovering from what had just happened.

"Tianshuang, you deserve the most credit for this competition. You can decide how to distribute these three Soul Bone."

Seeing that everyone still looked dejected even after receiving their rewards, Shui Xinrou quickly gave Yu Tianshuang a meaningful look and said softly.

Finally, after everyone declined, the Wisdom Condensing Mind Skull was given to Ning Rongrong, the Rapid Advance Wind Chasing Left Leg was given to Zhu Zhuqing, and the Exploding Burning Flame Right Arm was accepted by Yu Tianshuang because it did not match everyone's attributes, with the intention of exchanging it for a Soul Bone that suited everyone's attributes later.

"Hey, you pervert, what are your plans for the future? Are you planning to join the Spirit Hall?"

Actually, according to the rules, the fourth and fifth places should be determined by the fight, but after Tang Hao's farce, the Spirit Hall decided to determine the rankings based on the current points. Huo Wu and the others also achieved a good result of fourth place. After the awards ceremony, Huo Wu walked over somewhat awkwardly and looked at Yu Tianshuang.

Although the New Godwind Academy didn't have Titled Douluo- level experts, everyone present wasn't stupid. When Ice Empress appeared behind Tang Hao without any concealment and launched a sneak attack, they already understood that it was all related to the Skywater Academy. Therefore, Huo Wu's mood was somewhat complicated. Of the Five Elemental Academies, apart from the Elephant Armor Academy, which was supported by the Elephant Armor Sect, the other four elemental academies had close ties with the Heaven Dou Empire. At this moment, Yu Tianshuang's stance was already very clear, but Huo Wu still ran over knowingly.

"You spoiled brat, why are you asking this? Tianshuang, what Tianshuang is doing is none of your business. You don't actually have a crush on him, do you? Heh, let me tell you, you..."

Shui Yue'er, who had always been at odds with Huo Wu, saw Huo Wu's awkward expression and her pretty face flushed with an intoxicating blush. She immediately bristled and stood in front of Yu Tianshuang, speaking in a very unfriendly tone. However, before she could finish speaking, Huo Wu interrupted her.

"Yes, I like Yu Tianshuang, so what? What does that have to do with you? Huh? If we're talking about this, it's not your place, Shui Yue'er. Ye Lingling hasn't even said anything, why are you in such a hurry?"

Huo Wu, who had been shyly clutching the hem of her clothes and speaking softly, immediately raised her eyebrows upon hearing Shui Yue'er's words, put her hands on her hips, and retorted. However, as soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it. This seemingly carefree and fiery girl was actually quite afraid of relationships. Now, having spoken her mind in front of so many people, her fair face flushed as red as the setting sun. She quickly turned her head away and stammered:

"Anyway, anyway, I just like you. You can decide what to do with it yourself..."

Forcing herself to finish those words, Huo Wu felt like her head was on fire, and then she ran away in a flash.

"Hey, you idiot, let me tell you, you're not allowed to like this spoiled brat. She... she's only known you for a short time, but I... you and my sister have known you for ages, you..."

"Smack."

Before Shui Yue'er could finish speaking, Shui Bing'er smacked her on the head, gave Shui Yue'er a reproachful look, and then said nonchalantly:

"Just talk about yourself, don't drag me into it. If you like someone, be as bold as Huo Wu and express it openly. Don't, don't keep your feelings bottled up inside all day, you'll regret it later..."

Shui Bing'er's voice was still as clear and ethereal as ever, but the people present all seemed to feel that something was amiss, though they couldn't quite put their finger on it. Fortunately, Shui Xinrou spoke up at this moment, relieving everyone's embarrassment.

"Alright, enough with the sentimental stuff. If you want to talk about love, don't do it in the Pope's Palace. Let's go back first."

Shui Xinrou had watched the group grow up together, and she knew her two nieces' feelings perfectly well. Thinking of this, she hesitated. Although polygamy wasn't forbidden in the Douluo Continent, it was rare. Leaving aside her two nieces, the ties between Ye Lingling and Yu Tianshuang from the Lower Three Sects were already enough to give her a headache. And then there was Zhu Zhuqing, the outwardly cold but inwardly sensitive girl... and now there was Huo Wu too. She really didn't know how her disciple planned to handle all these relationships...

"Yu Tianshuang, stay behind for a moment, your teacher has something to tell you."

Just as the group from the Skywater Academy was preparing to return to the hotel, Hu Liena walked over with graceful steps and spoke with a charming smile.

"Well, teacher, senior sister, you should go back first. The Pope probably has something to discuss with me regarding this matter."

Yu Tianshuang turned around and gave some instructions before following Hu Liena into the Pope's Palace.

"Wow, you're something else! I could tell from the start that these girls had feelings for you, but I didn't expect you to be so charming that they confessed their love to you in public. Hehe, if you don't mind making things complicated, you can count me in too."

After the group from the Skywater Academy had walked away, Hu Liena, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around. Her captivating fox-like eyes gazed at Yu Tianshuang with affection, her pink eyes sparkling as she looked at Yu Tianshuang with a smile.
