Chapter 206: Bibi Dong

Regarding Tang San's feigned goodwill, Nan Feihuang did not pay much attention this time; he was already too lazy to continue playing along with the other party, and it would be better to spend time thinking about how to kill Tang Hao.

He must rely on himself to take revenge through calculation; this is what is meant by an eye for an eye, rather than borrowing his mother's power. When the time comes, he will remove all of Tang Hao's soul bones and present them to his father, which should help him quickly reach the Title Douluo stage.

Inside the Pope Palace, Ju Gui Douluo recounted the course of this incident to the Pope, Bibi Dong.

After listening, Bibi Dong's expression seemed calm, as if Mount Tai were collapsing before her without a change in her complexion, but the hand gripping the Scepter seemed as if it were about to crush the handle.

Those familiar with Bibi Dong knew that for her, who now kept her emotions hidden, this expression was enough to represent her fury.

Dispatching three Title Douluo, two Spirit Douluo, over a dozen Spirit Saints, plus hundreds or thousands of Spirit Ancestors, Spirit Kings, and Spirit Emperors—this force was enough to wipe out some principalities, yet the mission failed while assassinating a mere Tang San; how could she not be angry?

"Very well. A mere Tang San is actually protected by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to such an extent that they would not hesitate to become enemies with my Spirit Hall for his sake. Ning Fengzhi has great courage." Bibi Dong's voice was bone-chilling, making one's hair stand on end.

She was also a powerhouse who possessed the Killing God Domain; her killing intent was enough to make the surrounding temperature plummet, just like an Ice-type Spirit.

"And Tang Hao!" Speaking of Tang Hao, Bibi Dong appeared even more furious. "He actually dared to impersonate my Spirit Hall to kill, attempting to frame us for the death of Nan Feihuang, leading the Profound Ice Douluo and the Poison Douluo to become our enemies. Truly a fine scheme."

"Your Holiness, please calm your anger. The plan to assassinate Tang San failed, but as you said, he is merely a Tang San; we can devise another plan later. Furthermore, they have Tang San, but we also have the Golden Generation. In my opinion, even if that Tang San has Twin Spirits, he may not necessarily be able to defeat them when they join forces in the future," Lingyuan stepped forward and said.

These Elders, although the objects of their loyalty differed, the faction they were loyal to was the same: they all belonged to the Spirit Hall.

Moreover, Lingyuan Douluo had not joined the Offering Hall side, making her worth winning over.

Bibi Dong nodded. "Elder Lingyuan's words are reasonable. By the way, you were struck by a sword from Sword Dao Chenxin; is your body unharmed?" Bibi Dong asked. Lingyuan was the only female Title Douluo in the Spirit Hall besides herself.

"Granted!" Bibi Dong said. Lingyuan's strength in one-on-one combat was average, but her area-of-effect ability was very strong. There were many Seven Treasure support Spirit Masters, so handing them over to her to kill was perfect.

"And the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they forcibly helped Tang Hao escape and have already created a rift with the Gu Lei Kingdom. Although this assassination plan failed, we are not at a loss."

Bibi Dong disliked men, but toward women, she was slightly more tolerant.

"Many thanks for your concern, Your Holiness. Lingyuan is fine. No matter how strong Sword Dao Chenxin's attack power is, when fighting three against one, his Sword Qi was too scattered. This Sword Qi, less than one-third of his full power, is not enough to pose a fatal threat to me. I will recover after resting for a few days. But please, Your Holiness, grant me permission: when the Soul Hunting Operation takes place in the future, send me to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I want the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to pay for this sword wound with blood!" Lingyuan Douluo was also a ruthless person who wanted the Seven Treasure to pay for the injury with their lives.

The interests of the Spirit Hall were closely linked to their own.

"As for Tang Hao, his actions this time were indeed despicable, but they backfired. Not only did he fail to complete the plan, but he was also exposed on the spot by the Profound Ice Douluo, and the two sides have formed a deep hatred."

Even if they often had disagreements, it was on the premise of not harming the interests of the Spirit Hall.

"By the way, Your Holiness, your subordinate has one more thing to report. Although that fool Huang Zhenshan was used by Tang Hao, he accidentally tested the true strength of the Flying General. Their Gu Lei Team, just as the intelligence provided by Saite said, possesses an incredibly miraculous Formation that allows the Flying General to temporarily open his Tool Spirit Avatar, even suppressing a Spirit Douluo. If the Spirit Hall Academy encounters them, it would be a certain defeat," Ju Douluo reminded Bibi Dong.

This time, the Spirit Hall had prepared three soul bones as a reward. Although this reward had not been widely publicized, it had already been discussed with the leaders of the major factions when the progress of this tournament was being deliberated, and it was not deliberately concealed.

Therefore, even a wild Spirit Master like Dugu Bo from the original work could know this news.

Under these circumstances, the Spirit Hall could not go back on its word.

If the soul bones were snatched away by the Gu Lei Team, that would be a huge loss.

"Oh, a Formation, something similar to the Haotian Formation? Tool Spirit Avatar! I guess it uses the power of the Formation to connect everyone's soul power. However, as long as it is a Formation, there must be a way to break it. Summon Huang Zhenshan and have him tell me properly about what happened that day." Bibi Dong was very confident. As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, her theory was not bad, and she believed she could break the Gu Lei Battle Array.

The next day, the sixteen teams of the Heaven Dou Empire finally recovered quite a bit after a night of rest, and they could finally take a good look at this holy land of Spirit Masters, Wuhun City!

Arriving in Wuhun City for the first time, Nan Feihuang could not help but marvel at this magnificent city.

Although the area of this city was smaller than Tiandou City, its sense of majesty was even greater.

Moreover, this was a very rare hexagonal city with six city walls, three facing Heaven Dou and three facing Star Luo.

Tang San looked at the city with a complex expression; he knew that the ruler of this city was his greatest enemy. One day, he would take revenge for his mother and Xiao Wu's mother.

Perhaps relying on himself alone would not work, but he was not alone now; he had Xiao Wu and his father. If their family worked together, they would surely be able to avenge their two mothers.

According to news from the Spirit Hall, because they heard that the Heaven Dou Empire's team had been attacked, the tournament was delayed for a few days to give everyone time to rest and heal. Four days later, the tournament would officially begin.

The journey was exhausting, and these four days of rest were enough for each academy to make adjustments.

The academies participating from the Star Luo Empire were arranged to rest on the other side of Wuhun City. Invisibly, the Spirit Hall had already divided the participating teams of the Two Great Empires into two camps.

The students of each academy headed to the hotels arranged for them by the Spirit Hall to rest.

Because Jia Chong was seriously injured by Tang Hao and Lan Xue had already arrived, as the Queen of the Gu Lei Kingdom, she naturally became the leader of the Gu Lei Team.

Before the tournament began, she brought everyone together to discuss tournament tactics.

The finals consisted of only five rounds in total. The time taken would be shorter than the Preliminary Tournament and the Promotion Tournament. However, because the competition was intense, there would be a one-day rest and adjustment period between each round and the next.

Before the final round, there was even a three-day adjustment period. In the first round, the three seeded teams would have a bye, and the remaining thirty teams would compete for fifteen advancement spots; the losers would be directly eliminated.

The cruel elimination tournament would surely make each Spirit Master team fight even harder; no one dared to be the slightest bit careless. By this time, all the hidden abilities of the teams would be released, with no more reservations. Even teams that had been defeated in the Preliminary Tournament might bring out some surprising trump cards.

According to the tournament rules, the academy that took first place in the Promotion Tournament of the two major empire divisions in the second round could have a bye. That is to say, Gu Lei Academy only needed to win four matches to win the championship, and after the first round of matches ended, there would be a full three days of rest before the next match began.
