Chapter 80: The Arrival of Yu Xiaogang

Xingluo Imperial Palace.

Commander-in-Chief Zhang Feng walked in.

His expression was heavy, his face displeased, yet he was helpless.

After entering the door, he bowed respectfully to the figure above.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that she had returned alone, the Xingluo Emperor frowned, his voice low and carrying majesty as he asked, "Why have you returned alone? Where is that person?"

"Your Majesty, an accident occurred midway, and the person did not return!" the Commander-in-Chief said, then recounted what had just happened.

"What! Four Title Douluo?"

"And both their martial souls and spirit rings have undergone mutation?"

Upon hearing this, the Xingluo Emperor's expression changed.

He had not expected such an accident to occur!

"The four single-attribute clan heads were previously only at the Spirit Douluo level; to become Title Douluo in such a short time, could it be that all of this is closely related to his martial soul mutation?"

"Could it be that while the martial soul mutated, it not only improved the quality of their martial souls but also pushed their soul power to the Title Douluo level in the process?"

"If it is truly as I say, then that is too terrifying; this child has already exceeded our understanding!"

"If I can keep him under my control, my Xingluo Empire will not lack Title Douluo!"

The Xingluo Emperor said with a look of shock.

"But the other side has four Title Douluo, and their strength is very powerful! Now that they have left the territory of the Xingluo Empire, and the Phoenix Academy is in the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire, it is not easy for us to handle."

The Commander-in-Chief said.

He paused and suggested: "They have joined the Phoenix Academy, so the Break Clan and the Imperial Clan will certainly arrange for their entire clans to migrate there during this time. We can work on this to make it not so easy for them to leave!"

"Let them go!" the Xingluo Emperor said slowly after a moment of silence.

"Why is that?" the Commander-in-Chief was puzzled.

"Now that someone else's academy alone possesses four Title Douluo, what more do you want? We should find a way to befriend them and see if we can reach a cooperation, screening some of our empire's outstanding students to go in and see if they can obtain opportunities!"

"Since he is running a school, he will definitely recruit students in the future; it is impossible for there to be only those few!"

A light of wisdom flickered in the Xingluo Emperor's eyes.

The Commander-in-Chief said: "He also said that if Your Majesty wants to see him, then you must go to the Phoenix Academy to see him in person."

"Hmph, a mere academy, and I am the emperor of an empire!"

"How dare he be so arrogant? Does he not hold me in his eyes?"

The Xingluo Emperor clenched his fists, crushing the teacup beside him.

It was clear he was very angry; having held a high position for many years as the master of a nation, steering the life and death of everyone in the empire, he could not let go of his posture! "Your Majesty, shall we go then?" the Commander-in-Chief asked.

"No! I am going to start playing chess!" the Xingluo Emperor looked at the Commander-in-Chief with cold eyes and said indifferently.

The Commander-in-Chief understood that the layout of the continent would soon show different movements again!

…

Spirit City, Pope Palace!

A person and a horse appeared here.

"After traveling for so many days, I have finally arrived."

"Martial soul mutation, martial soul defects, Phoenix Academy! Now, the only one who can help me is her!"

"Bibi Dong, I hope you still have me in your heart!"

The person who arrived was none other than Yu Xiaogang, who had ridden fast from Suotuo City to seek a glimmer of opportunity.

If he did not take action himself, there would be no opportunity at all; by acting, there would be a chance.

This was a high-stakes gamble! He left his horse at the stable, gave money for someone to help take care of it, and then walked toward the Pope Palace.

"Stop! No idlers are allowed near the Pope Palace, leave at once!"

Standing on both sides of the palace gate, two guards in golden armor leveled their long spears, their eyes murderous and cold, directly blocking Yu Xiaogang's path.

Feeling the sharp gazes of the two and their murderous aura, Yu Xiaogang did not dare to continue forward and stopped his steps.

Unhurriedly, he took out the token belonging to an Elder of the Spirit Hall from his Soul Guidance Device and placed it in front of the two. He raised his forehead slightly, wearing an indescribable look of arrogance.

The corners of his mouth curled up in disdain.

Just by relying on you, you are qualified to stop me?

If I take out this token, won't I scare you to death? Right now, he was acting like a dog relying on its master's power!

Upon seeing the Elder Token, which represented the supreme power of the Spirit Hall, the two golden-armored guards changed their expressions, immediately knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "Greetings, Elder!"

"Does this Elder have the qualifications to enter now?" Yu Xiaogang's nose was pointed to the sky.

"Naturally, please enter!" The two guards no longer blocked him and cleared the way.

Yu Xiaogang put away the token, stood with his hands behind his back, raised his head, and strode toward the inside of the Pope Palace.

Once inside, he saw that it was empty everywhere, with only one maidservant.

"My name is Yu Xiaogang, I want to see your Pope, Bibi Dong." After taking out the token, he said.

"Please wait a moment." Seeing the token, the maidservant immediately went down.

It really is easier to get things done with a background.

"The Spirit Hall Elder Token is indeed useful, but unfortunately, for me, it is just a tool; I do not belong here, I am even an enemy!" Yu Xiaogang thought to himself after glancing at the token, then put it back into his Soul Guidance Device.

In the deepest part of the Pope Palace, in the Rakshasa Secret Realm, Bibi Dong, who had just finished bathing, stood up, exposing her still-charming body.

"The higher the realm, the slower the improvement."

Bibi Dong sighed, put on her clothes, and left the secret realm.

Just then, the maidservant came toward her.

"What is the matter?"

She asked.

Under normal circumstances, a maid would not come here.

Since she had come, there must certainly be something the matter.

"Your Majesty the Pope, there is an Elder named Yu Xiaogang outside who says he wishes to see you!" the maid said with a respectful attitude.

"Xiaogang, why has he come?" Upon hearing these three words, Bibi Dong's delicate body trembled slightly, and she felt puzzled inside.

"I understand, you may withdraw first." Bibi Dong waved her hand.

The maid left.

Click-clack, click-clack...

The wonderful sound of high heels striking the floor echoed within the spacious Pope Palace.

Upon hearing this somewhat familiar sound of high heels, Yu Xiaogang's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly looked over.

A beautiful woman with a tall figure, holding the Pope Scepter, dressed in Pope attire, and wearing the Pope Purple Gold Crown walked over.

Their eyes met; the former lovers of many years were seeing each other once again, and suddenly the atmosphere in the great hall became very different.

"Dong'er..."

Yu Xiaogang was captivated by her beauty, and the name slipped out of his mouth involuntarily.

Hearing these two nostalgic words, Bibi Dong's delicate body trembled slightly, but the movement was very small, Yu Xiaogang did not notice it, and she controlled herself very well.

"Please address me as Your Majesty the Pope!" Bibi Dong said in a cold voice.

Yu Xiaogang's heart sank to the bottom, and he lowered his head with a bitter expression, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty the Pope!"

Seeing this scene, Bibi Dong felt inexplicably somewhat gratified.

"You are even more beautiful than before," Yu Xiaogang said.

"Insolent!" Bibi Dong was happy inside, but her face remained cold.

"Stop spouting so much useless nonsense; speak, what is the matter that you have come to find me for today?"

Bibi Dong turned around, facing away from Yu Xiaogang, and said indifferently.

Yu Xiaogang said, "Ma Hongjun of Phoenix Academy... he is my only hope; I would like to ask you to step forward and speak with him..."
