Chapter 52: Want to Borrow One More Thing From You

The journey from Tiandou City to Wuhun City takes about twenty days.

The final tournament does not last very long, as it consists entirely of elimination matches.

With thirty-three teams in total, the winner will be decided in less than ten days.

Wuhun City lies at the border of the two great empires, and neither empire claims sovereignty over it.

Most importantly, one of the two most sacred halls symbolizing the Spirit Hall, the Pope Palace, is located within Wuhun City.

At this moment, inside the Pope Palace.

The most powerful woman on the entire continent, the Pope Bibi Dong, spoke to the kneeling youth: "Zhou Yu, the champion of this tournament must be our Spirit Hall. Do you understand?"

Zhou Yu respectfully replied: "I understand!"

Bibi Dong's meaning was clear: the Tiandou Royal Academy, where Zhou Yu belongs, absolutely must not defeat the Spirit Hall team in the competition.

Moreover, she did not believe the Golden Generation would lose.

Although Zhou Yu knew the ultimate winner of this tournament would be Shrek Academy.

However, his plan was not to win the championship, but to seek revenge.

Inside the entire hall, besides Bibi Dong, there was no one else.

"Why haven't I seen Gui Douluo and Ju Douluo, those two henchmen..."

As Zhou Yu was feeling strange about this, he heard Bibi Dong ask: "Have you definitely resolved the matter between Xiaogang and that wench?"

He quickly replied: "Reporting to Your Holiness the Pope, your subordinate has completely resolved it!"

"Has Xiaogang truly given up on her?"

A trace of joy appeared on Bibi Dong's face; in her heart, she could never let go of this man.

Zhou Yu replied: "Perhaps Yu Xiaogang cannot yet completely give up on Liu Erlong, but... Liu Erlong is now my woman!"

"..."

"Liu Erlong is now your woman?"

"You... have indeed surprised this Emperor..."

Bibi Dong did not expect Zhou Yu to complete the mission so perfectly.

Not only did he destroy the relationship between Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong, but he also turned her into his own woman.

In this way, Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong could never be together again.

Bibi Dong sincerely praised: "Very good, this Emperor appreciates you more and more!"

Then, she changed the subject: "This Emperor has already dispatched the two Elders, Gui Mei and Ju Hua Guan, to ambush the royal convoy of the Tiandou Diguo."

Zhou Yu was stunned; he had already informed Bibi Dong of Tang San and Xiao Wu's secret, so the Spirit Hall only needed to wait for them to arrive. Why send people to ambush them? Bibi Dong seemed to see through Zhou Yu's confusion, so she continued: "Rest assured! This Emperor will not kill them now. However, they cannot arrive at Wuhun City safely. The victory of this tournament must belong to the Spirit Hall."

"Additionally, this Emperor wants to confirm whether Tang Hao will really be nearby, secretly protecting his son."

Although she had already received Zhou Yu's intelligence, Bibi Dong could not help but want to confirm it herself.

She did not take Tang San, this brat with milk still on his lips, seriously; her true targets were Xiao Wu, that Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast, and the man who made the entire Spirit Hall wary—Tang Hao.

The Spirit Master team representing the Tiandou Diguo, despite encountering an accident midway, managed to overcome the crisis under the protection of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

On the remaining journey, no further accidents occurred; to better protect these Spirit Masters.

Crown Prince Xue Qinghe temporarily deployed three thousand Iron Armored Army soldiers from cities along the route to assist the guards, and also summoned some Spirit Master experts from the capital to rush over quickly.

Finally, Tang San and the others arrived safely at Wuhun City.

According to news from the Spirit Hall, the competition will officially begin in three days.

The journey was tiring, and with these three days of rest, it was enough for all academies to adjust. Liu Erlong and Xiao Wu finally arrived the day before the finals began.

However, Zhou Yu blocked them at the hotel entrance.

Liu Erlong originally thought the other party had come to find her, but upon discovering otherwise, she asked in confusion: "You... are looking for Xiao Wu? What do you want?"

Before Zhou Yu could answer, Xiao Wu, with a solemn expression, spoke first: "Mother, I will go out and discuss something with him. You rest first!"

Xiao Wu walked ahead, while Zhou Yu behind her secretly sent a flying kiss to Liu Erlong.

The two, one in front and one behind, arrived at the forest outside the city.

Xiao Wu asked angrily: "What exactly do you want now?"

Zhou Yu snorted coldly and said: "I know you did not tell Tang San about our matter. Similarly, I have not told that matter to Rongrong."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu's heart finally calmed down slightly.

Zhou Yu continued: "I came to tell you that I will find a way to make Rongrong let go of Tang San. This way, you won't have to worry about her fighting you for a man."

"If you are so kind, why did you help her that day..."

Thinking of what Zhou Yu did to her in the forest that day, Xiao Wu felt extremely ashamed and angry.

Zhou Yu explained: "Xiao Wu, I know you truly love Tang San. But Tang San is not entirely devoted to you. Only by cutting off his hopes will he wholeheartedly stay with you."

"Cut off his hopes?"

Xiao Wu seemed not to understand.

Zhou Yu then continued: "For the happiness of you and Tang San, I have decided to sacrifice myself and propose to the Sect Master to marry Rongrong!"

"Didn't you always like Ning Rongrong? If you could marry her, why wait until now?"

Xiao Wu knew Ning Rongrong's nature well; entangled with Zhou Yu, Tang San, and Oscar, she was essentially a woman with a fickle heart and divided loyalties.

At this moment, Zhou Yu sneered: "Once the rice is cooked, she will have no choice but to agree!"

"..."

Learning of the tactic Zhou Yu intended to use, Xiao Wu immediately felt schadenfreude and replied: "Fine, as long as you deal with Ning Rongrong, we will... call it even!"

Zhou Yu nodded, then slowly approached Xiao Wu and whispered: "That day..."

Seeing the other approach, Xiao Wu instinctively shrank back, her voice trembling as she said, "Don't mention that day again, or else..."

"Relax, don't get so agitated. I just want to borrow one more thing from you!"

Seeing Xiao Wu's panicked and disoriented look, Zhou Yu's heart was filled with delight.

"What thing?"

As Xiao Wu wondered, she saw Zhou Yu suddenly summon his martial soul and unleash the First Spirit Skill, Green Shadow Flying Needle, to launch a surprise attack.

"You... you're despicable..."

Just as her body went limp and collapsed, Zhou Yu lunged forward in a single stride and pulled her into his arms.

Then, he flashed a wicked smile and said, "Rest assured! This is the last time. You should be thanking me, for making you a true woman."

In fact, Zhou Yu knew that Xiao Wu had already obtained her fourth Spirit Ring.

And her fourth soul skill was precisely Invincible Golden Body.

The last time in the woods, he had already acquired Xiao Wu's third Spirit Ring and soul skill, adding them as his second martial soul's first Spirit Ring and First Spirit Skill, 【Barrett M82】.

For a sniper, survival is paramount.

Besides Teleportation, he also wanted to obtain Invincible Golden Body.

Of course, to reap rewards, one must pay the price.

And the price he had to pay was all physical labor.
