Douluo Continent: Simulating Douluo Dalu III to Screw Over Tang San

"That's right, the age of my Soul Ring is indeed close to 300,000 years." Gong Yu replied to Bibi Dong, "People on the continent only know that Soul Ring are divided into five types: white, yellow, purple, black, and red, but they don't know that there are other colors besides these five."

In fact, when Soul Beast's cultivation reaches or exceeds 200,000 years, it is called Ferocious Beast. The Soul Ring of Ferocious Beast are also red, but they have two additional golden lines. Moreover, for every 100,000 years that Ferocious Beast's cultivation increases, an additional golden line will appear on its Soul Ring.

Sensing that Gong Yu's words were somewhat contradictory, Bibi Dong asked again, "Then isn't your Soul Ring nearly 300,000 years old? How come it's orange?"

Gong Yu smiled slightly and said, "This is the difference between Soul Spirit. After Ferocious Beast becomes Soul Spirit, its Soul Ring will be orange. Moreover, Soul Spirit have several advantages. When they reach a bottleneck, they can automatically differentiate Soul Spirit Soul Ring. As for the number of Soul Ring differentiated, it depends on the different years they have lived."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong immediately became interested. "Is there a limit to the number of Soul Ring that can be generated from Soul Spirit? Also, how many soul Soul Spirit Soul Master absorb?"

"A person can fuse with three to four Soul Spirit in their lifetime. Of course, this isn't absolute; the number depends on the Soul Master's physical condition and Spiritual Power strength." Gong Yu patiently explained to Bibi Dong's question, "As for the number of Soul Ring that split from the Soul Spirit..."

At this point, Gong Yu smiled and said, "A Ten-Year Soul Spirit can provide one Soul Ring, a hundred-year-old one two, a thousand-year-old one three, and ten-thousand-year-old and above four. However, the Soul Ring that are differentiated must be distributed according to the lifespan of the Soul Spirit."

Hearing this, Bibi Dong frowned and said, "So, the drawbacks of Soul Spirit are also significant. The Soul Ring that split off spread the lifespan of the Soul Spirit, which is equivalent to reducing the power of the Soul Skill carried by each Soul Ring."

"Hehe... Your His Holiness the Pope's understanding isn't entirely wrong." Gong Yu understood Bibi Dong's concerns; if the power of Soul Skill was reduced, it would be better to hunt Soul Beast.

He then explained, "Although the power of the Soul Skill carried by each Soul Ring Soul Ring decrease when the Soul Spirit splits into multiple soul rings, this is not insurmountable. As long as the age of each Soul Ring is increased, the drawback can be made up for."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong was shocked once again. "You mean you have a way to increase the age of Soul Ring?"

Gong Yu revealed a knowing smile and said, "Just as Your His Holiness the Pope predicted, I do indeed have a method to increase the lifespan of Soul Ring, which is the other technique I'm about to mention."

Chapter 241 Qian Jun and the Jiang Mo

"What kind of technology?" Although Bibi Dong, she was once again shocked by Gong Yu. In her eyes, the technology that could increase the age of Soul Ring was already the ability of a god.

She was someone who had experienced the divine trials. Although the Rakshasa God Trial had inexplicably shown her as having failed, and thus automatically removed her from the Rakshasa God Trial, she was still someone who had experienced the divine trials. The rewards she had received from those trials were still there, including the reward of increased Soul Ring age.

Gong Yu revealed another enigmatic smile, then slowly said, "I call this technology the Spirit Ascension Platform technology. As for what the Spirit Ascension Platform is, I won't tell Your His Holiness the Pope for now. After the Soul Spirit is promoted, the Spirit Ascension Platform will be built one after another, and then you will know."

Gong Yu spoke frankly, making Bibi Dong feel intrigued, but she couldn't do anything about it. She frowned helplessly and said, "Fine, if you don't want to reveal it for now, then forget it. As for the cooperation you mentioned, Pope will consider it and send someone to inform you when I've made up my mind."

In fact, to promote Soul Spirit, it is not necessarily necessary to cooperate with the Spirit Hall, but cooperating with the Spirit Hall is the most convenient way to promote them. After all, in this era, the Spirit Hall has the greatest influence on the continent, and its credibility among the people is also the highest.

If the Spirit Hall could be allowed to promote the Soul Spirit, it would quickly gain the support of the people on the mainland, which would save a lot of trouble.

Gong Yu had considered the possibility that cooperating only with the Spirit Hall might lead to their technology being stolen and the Academy of the Gods being kicked out of the competition, given the immense potential profits involved.

However, Gong Yu was not worried about being kicked out, firstly because the core technology was in the hands of his own people, and secondly because the main developer was Na'er, Na'er was absolutely of one mind with Gong Yu.

Furthermore, even if the Spirit Hall steals some technology, it won't be easy to develop it, because those involved in the research and development don't have Na'er's knowledge. Na'er is the Silver Dragon King, and her knowledge is unmatched by most people.

Perhaps researchers could develop the Soul Spirit technology over thousands or even tens of thousands of years, but that would be too long. By then, Gong Yu would probably have already left Douluo Star. Even if the Spirit Hall developed the Soul Spirit technology, it wouldn't affect his interests anymore.

"In that case, I'll take my leave." Gong Yu smiled, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, and prepared to depart.

However, at this moment, two people walked into the Pope's Hall. Before entering, the two did not ask anyone to announce their arrival, but instead swaggered in, clearly not taking Bibi Dong, the Pope, seriously.

"What are you doing here? Who gave you permission to trespass into the Pope's Hall without permission?" Upon seeing the two people enter, Bibi Dong unleashed her full aura, looking as if she were about to kill them.

The two men were clearly not expecting Bibi Dong to be so angry. Moreover, after being intimidated by Bibi Dong's aura, they were also shocked. They could sense that Bibi Dong's strength was in no way inferior to that of the Great Enshrined Qian Daoliu, and had already reached level 99.

It should be noted that after Bibi Dong failed the divine test and the Rakshasa God Trial was removed, her Soul Power Level was no longer suppressed, so it was completely restored to level 99. Moreover, after years of tempering by the Rakshasa Divine Power, she has achieved a Demigod body. Therefore, she is not an ordinary limit, but a level 99 Demigod.

Upon sensing Bibi Dong's immense power, the two who entered immediately backed down. They had no choice but to restrain themselves, clasp their hands in greeting, and say in unison, "Greetings, Your His Holiness the Pope."

"Hmph... Qian Jun, Jiang Mo, what brings you, the worshippers of the Worship Hall, to my Pope's Hall?" Seeing that the two had changed their attitude, Bibi Dong had a way to back down, so she also restrained her aura, but her voice was still cold.

When he heard Bibi Dong call out the Titled Douluo of the two people, Gong Yu was also stunned. Qian Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo were twins, the sixth and seventh elders of the Spirit Hall, respectively, and they were loyal only to the Six-Winged Angel Clan. Both of them had the Coiling Dragon Staff as their Martial Soul.

The two arrived suddenly, Gong Yu had reason to suspect that they had discovered something.

"Your His Holiness the Pope, the reason for our sudden arrival is that my brother and I sensed an aura here that originates from the same source as our Martial Soul, so we came to investigate. We have absolutely no intention of offending Your Pope," Qian Jun Douluo explained.

Upon hearing this, Gong Yu thought to himself, "As expected." When he released the Seven-Colored Coiling Dragon Staff earlier, he had also guessed that the owner of the Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul in the Worship Hall might sense his aura, but unexpectedly, just as he thought, he was discovered.

However, he was also glad that his Seven-Colored Coiling Dragon Staff had been put away in time. After his Martial Soul was put away, no one could sense the presence of his Seven-Colored Coiling Dragon Staff unless he wanted to.

There was no other way; he really didn't want Qian Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo to know about the existence of the Seven-Colored Coiling Dragon Staff. He really didn't want to have any random relatives. Once those two found out, he probably wouldn't be able to deny their kinship even if he didn't want to. But he really had nothing to do with the Coiling Dragon Staff family; his Seven-Colored Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul wasn't obtained through family bloodline inheritance.

"Oh... the same aura as your Martial Soul?" Bibi Dong also recalled that although Gong Yu's Seven-Colored Coiling Dragon Staff was seven-colored, judging from its shape alone, it really was Coiling Dragon Staff. She then imagined Gong Yu's background and believed that Gong Yu's identity was not as simple as the information described.

If Gong Yu knew Bibi Dong was thinking at this moment, he would definitely cry out that he was wronged, because his background was actually that simple.

Bibi Dong glanced at Qian Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo, then asked, "Have you found what you're looking for?"

"I'm sorry, Your His Holiness the Pope, that aura has disappeared." Qian Jun Douluo spoke again, glancing at Gong Yu but not sensing the aura of the Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul from Gong Yu, a hint of disappointment appearing on his face.

"Since you haven't found it, then you'd better get out of here. This Pope's Hall doesn't welcome you." Bibi Dong's face showed a hint of anger. She had never been fond of the offerings in the Worship Hall.

It's no wonder she dislikes the people of the Worship Hall. Since she became Pope, the Worship Hall's worshippers have been disobedient and unresponsive, only following Qian Daoliu's orders. They have always ignored the Pope's commands. Any ruler would not like such nominal subordinates.

"Alright, then my brother and I will take our leave." Qian Jun Douluo said, clasping his hands in a fist salute. Jiangmo Demon Subduing Douluo, on the other hand, remained silent throughout, holding his head high with his nostrils flared. Although he was intimidated by Bibi Dong Bibi Dong's strength, he still didn't take her seriously.

Chapter 242 The Golden Generation

Looking at the arrogant demeanor of the Jiang Mo, Gong Yu felt a surge of disdain. He thought to himself, "What's with these two being so arrogant? If they really anger Bibi Dong, they'll probably be wiped out in an instant."

Fortunately, the evil thoughts of Rakshasa within Bibi Dong have been expelled; otherwise, if the corrupted Bibi Dong hadn't been able to restrain herself, it wouldn't have been impossible for her to kill them.

As for what Qian Daoliu will do to Bibi Dong, it's unlikely he will. After all, Bibi Dong is the Pope of the Spirit Hall and the daughter-in-law of the Qian Family. Qian Daoliu can't possibly kill Bibi Dong for those two idiots, and besides, he might not even be able to kill her.

Therefore, in the end, this kind of thing will at most be left unresolved, or just a verbal warning or something. For the sake of the Spirit Hall's stability, Qian Daoliu is unlikely to touch Bibi Dong.

Besides, Qian Daoliu knew that his son was killed by Bibi Dong, yet he refused to touch Bibi Dong. So how could he possibly go after Bibi Dong just because two outsiders died?

Qian Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo failed to find the person they were looking for, so they left.

Gong Yu decided to take his leave again, but Bibi Dong spoke first, "If it weren't for those two idiots appearing earlier, I, the Pope, wouldn't have noticed that your Second Martial Soul is actually the Coiling Dragon Staff. Little guy, tell me, what is your relationship with the Qiangu Family (made up)?"

Gong Yu shook his head with a wry smile, knowing that Bibi Dong would be suspicious, so he said helplessly, "If I said that I have no relation to the Qiangu Family, His Holiness the Pope probably wouldn't believe me, but what I want to say is that I really have no relation to the Qiangu Family."

"Heh... Do you think I, the Pope, would believe your nonsense?" Bibi Dong sneered. "If you have no connection with the Qiangu Family, how could you have inherited the Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul of the Qiangu Family?"

With a helpless sigh, Gong Yu spoke again, "Who says Martial Soul has to be inherited from a family?"

"Isn't that right? If you weren't a descendant of the Qiangu Family, how could you possess the Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul?" Bibi Dong still didn't believe what Gong Yu said; she felt that Gong Yu was just giving her a perfunctory answer.

"Since His Holiness the Pope doesn't believe me, there's nothing I can do. But what I said is the truth. Martial Soul isn't necessarily inherited through family bloodline. Otherwise, how did the first person in the world to possess Martial Soul Martial Soul get it?" Gong Yu spread his hands, not wanting to explain further. Bibi Dong believed him or not wasn't that important.

"Fine, it's okay if you don't admit it." Bibi Dong didn't want to dwell on it, but Gong Yu's words made her think. The first person to possess Martial Soul Martial Soul, how did he acquire it? This was truly worth pondering. After all, if the reason was understood, perhaps everyone on the continent could possess a top-tier Martial Soul in the future.

However, thinking of this, Bibi Dong felt a wave of self-mockery. She didn't believe that her predecessor hadn't thought about this question, but no one had discovered the secret. She didn't believe that she alone could understand the principle behind it.

She suddenly fixed her gaze on Gong Yu. Gong Yu's words had another meaning: he knew the reason. With the foundation of the Academy of the Gods, she had no doubt that Gong Yu was lying. After all, the Academy of the Gods even had the technology of Soul Spirit and Spirit Ascension Platform, and maybe it also had the technology of creating Martial Soul!

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong's emotions couldn't help but surge. If the Academy of the Gods really possessed those technologies, one could imagine how mysterious and powerful the forces behind it must be, perhaps even something the Spirit Hall couldn't afford to offend.

Bibi Dong gave Gong Yu another once-over, a wicked smile playing on her lips, and said, "Even if what you said is true, you could always try to become related to the Qiangu Family. You know, the Qiangu Family's foundation is not simple. If you become related to them, you can at least save yourself a hundred years of struggle."

Gong Yu gave an awkward smile and said, "No, thank you. I wouldn't dare to be related to this cheap relative. Besides, for the owner of the Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul to be subservient to someone else would be an insult to the Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul. So he doesn't deserve to be my relative."

The Coiling Dragon Staff is inhabited by the Break Evil Dragon and imbued with its Break Evil Dragon will. Yet, the Qian Jun Douluo and the Demon Subduing Douluo, who possess the Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul, are willing to serve as henchmen for Qian Daoliu. Therefore, Gong Yu looks down on them.

"Hehe... the little guy is quite arrogant!" Hearing Gong Yu's words, Bibi Dong couldn't help but chuckle. Suddenly, this little man in front of her was quite interesting.

"Don't keep calling me 'little guy.' I'm not little at all. I'm more than enough for you, Pope. So, Your His Holiness the Pope, how about you consider dating me?" Gong Yu suddenly had a whimsical idea and decided to tease Bibi Dong.

"You're really not afraid I'll kill you?" Bibi Dong said with a playful expression.

"To die beneath the peony blossoms, even as a ghost, is still romantic." Gong Yu grinned and said, "One should always have dreams; what if one day you really do become my woman!"

"Is that so? Then this Pope will really be watching closely to see what you have to offer to move this Pope." Bibi Dong's lips still held a playful smile, but the image of Yu Xiaogang flashed through her mind.

However, without the influence of Rakshasa's evil thoughts, Bibi Dong became much more rational. She compared Yu Xiaogang's current appearance with that of Yu Xiaogang back then and found that the current Yu Xiaogang was just a greasy old man.

Suddenly she realized that she didn't seem to love Yu Xiaogang that much.

"So His Holiness the Pope is planning to give me a chance?" Gong Yu put on a harmless smile.

"Little one, Pope 'm old enough to be your mother, so you'd better not have any wild ideas." Seeing Gong Yu's increasingly presumptuous attitude, Bibi Dong's expression finally turned serious.

Gong Yu curled her lip, disdainfully saying, "In true love, age is never a problem. Besides, His Holiness the Pope isn't that much older than me. In a thousand or ten thousand years, the age difference between us will be completely negligible. However, I will give His Holiness the Pope time to consider."

"Heh... what a precocious child! At only fifteen years old, he's already flirting with this Pope." Bibi Dong was both amused and exasperated, unsure of what to say.

Just then, the doors of the Pope's Hall opened again, and seven people walked in—six men and one woman.

Without even guessing, Gong Yu was certain that the seven people in front of him were the Spirit Hall's seed team for this year's competition. The two men and one woman walking at the front of the group were the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.

"Nana's here!" Seeing the seven people walk in, Bibi Dong smiled, but she greeted the girl separately, "Come, come, let me introduce you to this gentleman. You should know he's your strongest competitor in this year's Soul Master Elite Tournament!"

The seven people quickly walked over, then knelt on one knee and said in unison, "Greetings, Your His Holiness the Pope (Teacher)!"

"Alright, get up, all of you!" Bibi Dong smiled slightly, then turned to look at Gong Yu again.

Chapter 243 The Three Great Simps of Douluo

Hu Liena glanced at Gong Yu, then looked at Bibi Dong and asked, "Teacher, who is he?"

Bibi Dong introduced him to Hu Liena: "He is Gong Yu the Heaven Dou Empire's Academy of the Gods, and he is also your strongest contender for the championship in this year's Soul Master Elite Tournament."

Hearing Bibi Dong say this, Gong Yu replied dismissively, "Your His Holiness the Pope is mistaken. That championship was originally mine. There's no question of competition. They're too weak; they're not qualified to compete with me at all."

"What did you say?" A red-haired member of the Spirit Hall team was enraged after hearing Gong Yu's words. As a member of the Spirit Hall Team, he had never been looked down upon like this before.

Hu Liena frowned as well. Gong Yu's words displeased her, but her keen senses told her that Gong Yu was very strong. Although she couldn't discern Gong Yu's strength, she was certain that she was no match for him.

The other members of the Spirit Hall Team also glared at Gong Yu with unfriendly expressions, feeling that Gong Yu's words were somewhat insulting.

Gong Yu scoffed disdainfully, then retorted, "Since you're hard of hearing, I don't mind repeating myself: you're too weak and trash, unworthy of being my competitors. The only reason I'm playing along is to make a fool of you!"

"You... who are you calling a monkey?" The man with the hair at the back seemed very angry, and he became furious again, rubbing his fists together.

"Whoever speaks up, I'll say it." Gong Yu smiled coldly. Although he didn't recognize the red-haired man, Gong Yu could roughly guess who he was. He figured it must be Yan, one of the three great dogs of Douluo.

Of the three most devoted admirers in Douluo — Qian Daoliu, Yan, and Feng Xiaotian —if the historical trajectory of the Douluo Continent were to unfold as it should, only Feng Xiaotian would ultimately succeed in winning over the woman.

As for the remaining two, Qian Daoliu has his own mission. No matter how much he tries to curry favor with Bo Saixi, it will be useless. In the end, he will choose to sacrifice himself for his own granddaughter, and Bo Saixi doesn't even like him.

As for Yan, he tried to seduce Hu Liena but ended up getting nothing in return, and the Spirit Hall was defeated. Moreover, the woman he was trying to seduce could even be considered Tang San's accomplice. If Hu Liena hadn't secretly let Tang San go in the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang San's grave would probably be overgrown with weeds by now.

Gong Yu glanced at Yan mockingly again and said, "I'm talking to your Pope, and you're just a sycophant. When did it become your place to interrupt?"

"What do you mean by 'lick dog'?" Yan glared at Gong Yu again. Although he didn't know what Gong Yu meant by 'lick dog,' he knew it was definitely not a nice thing to say.

"A simp, a simp, will end up with nothing." Gong Yu smiled contemptuously, then cupped his hands to Bibi Dong and said, "I apologize, Your His Holiness the Pope, I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

After saying this, without waiting for Bibi Dong's agreement, Gong Yu turned to leave.

Bibi Dong's lips curled into a faint smile. She had intended to have Gong Yu curb the arrogance of the Spirit Hall Team, so she maintained a spectator's attitude throughout the verbal exchange between Gong Yu and Yan. She even hoped that Gong Yu and Yan would fight, but Gong Yu did not fall for it.

However, she glanced at Yan, who seemed unable to hold back any longer. Looking at Gong Yu's retreating figure, he suddenly threw a punch and lunged forward, shouting, "Dare to look down on us? Die!"

Gong Yu was speechless, thinking to himself that Yan was truly hopeless. With such an impulsive personality, no wonder he couldn't win over Hu Liena no matter how hard he tried!

Faced with the onrushing Yan, Gong Yu was too lazy to make any other unnecessary moves. With a thought, the Blood Dragon Annihilation Domain instantly unfolded, enveloping most of the Pope's Hall.

This sudden domain enveloped all members of the Spirit Hall Team, as well as Bibi Dong. The domain's shockwave rendered the Spirit Hall Team members unable to move, leaving them drenched in sweat, their faces contorted in pain, struggling to circulate their Soul Power in resistance.

Bibi Dong looked at Gong Yu with amazement. After feeling the power of Gong Yu's domain, she naturally knew that the domain was extraordinary. If she did not also possess a domain, she would have been greatly restricted in her movements under Gong Yu's domain.

Gong Yu turned to look at Yan, then glanced at Hu Liena and the others, before slowly saying, "You guys are really weak. If it weren't for His Holiness the Pope's sake, and because I didn't want you to be unable to compete on stage in three days, I would have crippled you today."

After saying that, he glared at Yan, then sneered, "You weakling, you have no ability but you dare to show off, you've really given yourself too much credit."

After saying this, Gong Yu withdrew his domain, and everyone felt a sense of relief, letting out a sigh of relief. Gong Yu then left the Pope's Hall without looking back.

Upon exiting the Pope's Hall, Gong Yu discovered that Qian Renxue was waiting outside, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Hmm, this guy actually knows Xue'er. Could he be one of Xue'er's people?" Pope's Hall, Bibi Dong sensed Qian Renxue walking side by side with Gong Yu, and a look of doubt appeared on her face.

However, it was just a question, and he didn't think too much about it. Then he began to give a speech to the Spirit Hall Team.

Qian Renxue then led Gong Yu towards the Worship Hall, saying as they walked, "My grandfather wants to see you."

Gong Yu was somewhat caught off guard. To be honest, he didn't want to see Qian Daoliu. In fact, he hoped that Qian Daoliu would die soon, so that Qian Daoliu Qian Renxue could be free from all constraints.

He immediately said, "Can I not go?"

"No." Qian Renxue said in an unyielding tone, then took out a prismatic object from her Storage Soul Tool and handed it to Gong Yu, saying, "This is what you wanted, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud."

Seeing this, Gong Yu casually took it and smiled, "Alright, then I'll go see your grandfather. But let me make this clear beforehand: if that old man is too domineering, I won't give him any face."

"What do you mean?" Qian Renxue said irritably after hearing Gong Yu's words, "Grandpa is my blood relative and elder. Shouldn't you have at least some respect for him?"

Gong Yu, however, didn't seem to care much and said, "I didn't say I wouldn't give him basic respect. As long as he doesn't put on airs with me, I'll still respect the elderly and care for the young."

However, on the other hand, he is your blood relative and elder, so respecting him is your business. Besides, in the end, you are just my mistress. Even if I marry you, you will only be a concubine. Concubines have no status, and their families naturally have little status either. So don't put on airs in front of me."

Gong Yu had no intention of giving Qian Renxue any face. Qian Renxue was beautiful, but Gong Yu wouldn't spoil her. Besides, she wasn't the only flower in the garden. If she didn't work out, he would just find another one. Anyway, he wasn't short of women.
