Chapter 302: The Pope "retreats"

Starting from the second day, the door of the Papal Palace was closed tightly.

Elder Ju and Elder Gui declared to the outside world that the Pope was dealing with important matters and would not see guests.

But the mental state of the two people was obviously not right. Elder Ju continued toHe didn't prune his precious flowers and plants for two days, and for the first time, the ghost elder didn't go to the spirit fighting arena to observe the teams from each school.

There is only one explanation for the abnormal behavior of these two people.

They are hiding something big.

And this big thing has something to do with the teacher.

……

The next morning.

When the sun shone into the Pope's Hall, Qian Daoliu was already standing in the center of the hall.

The highest elder of Wuhun Palace has a pale face and white beard and hair. He wears a white robe with the golden emblem of Wuhun Palace embroidered on it.

His appearance made the entire station quiet.

Elder Ju and Elder Ghost lined up on both sides, standing with their hands hanging down.

Hu Liena stood at the door of the side hall and could just hear the sounds in the main hall.

Qian Daoliu looked around and spoke.

"The Pope encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation breakthrough a few days ago and has entered deep retreat. The retreat location is in the secret area of the Wuhun Hall headquarters. No one is allowed to disturb it unless I open it myself."

Qian Daoliu paused.

"During the period of seclusion, I will handle all major matters in Wuhun Hall. Daily affairs will be handled by the two elders Ju and Gui and the Pope's disciple Hu Liena."

The Wuhun Palace disciples in the hall responded in unison.

Hu Liena's body did not move.

But her mind was racing.

No.

All wrong.

Teachers need to retreat to break through bottlenecks. This reason sounds reasonable.

But the problem is that teachers never retreat unprepared.

The last time the teacher went into deep cultivation, he arranged all the affairs inside and outside Wuhun Hall half a month in advance. Even Hu Liena's daily cultivation plan was written out by hand.

What about this time?

Nothing.

There was no advance arrangement, no personal explanation, not even a word left to her as a direct disciple.

It's as if the teacher has no time to prepare at all.

In other words, this so-called "retreat" was not the teacher's decision at all.

Hu Liena dug her nails into her palms, her face expressionless.

Qian Daoliu turned around to leave after announcing the matter, and Hu Liena stepped forward quickly.

"Big offering."

Qian Daoliu stopped and looked back at her.

"Didn't the teacher leave any message to his disciples before he went into seclusion?"

Qian Daoliu looked her over and said: "The Pope left in a hurry, and he will not have time to explain everything in the future. Just handle your duties with peace of mind."

"Disciple understands." Hu Liena lowered her head, "I just want to ask, the teacher's retreat is in the headquarters of Wuhun Hall... which secret place is it?"

Qian Daoliu's footsteps stagnated slightly.

"You don't need to know."

After he said this, he strode out of the main hall.

Hu Liena stood there, her fingers holding the cuffs slowly tightening.

Qian Daoliu's answer was too quick.

It was so fast that it seemed to have been prepared in advance.

A thought arose in her heart, had something happened to the teacher?

She took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions, and turned towards Elder Ju.

"Elder Ju, please give me a copy of today's schedule."

Elder Ju handed over a piece of paper without saying anything else.

Hu Liena took the paper, glanced at the schedule, and then returned to her room.

The moment she closed the door, her expression completely darkened.

No matter what happened to the teacher, she had to find out by herself.

It's useless to count on Elder Ju and Elder Gui. These two people were crushed to death by Qian Daoliu.

Hu Liena spread the schedule on the table and began to think about the next plan.

……

The playing field.

Today is the match day of the fourth round of the finals.

Su Bai took the girls to sit in the auditorium, and Bibi Dong was placed in the station, watched by A Yin and Bi Ji.

In order to prevent her from making a fuss, Su Bai deliberately released a large ball of Qilin's auspicious energy and injected it into Bibi Dong's body before leaving, enough for her to sleep peacefully until noon.

"Young Master, we have a bye today." Ye Xishui sat behind Su Bai and handed over a plate of melon seeds.

"I know." Su Bai peeled a melon seed and threw it into his mouth, "Just in time to watch other people's games."

Ning Rongrong came over and leaned her little head on Su Bai's shoulder: "Brother Bai, who is Tiandou Royal Academy beating today?"

"Divine Wind Academy."

"Isn't that a food delivery?" Ning Rongrong pouted, "The highest level of Shenfeng Academy is level 42, how can we fight against it?"

Su Bai did not answer, because the team from Tiandou Royal Academy had already entered the venue.

The first person to walk out was Yu Tianheng, followed by Dai Mubai, Tang San, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Shi Mo, Shi Mo, Yu Feng and Osluo.

Zhu Zhuqing was sitting next to Su Bai. When he saw Dai Mubai, his expression didn't even change.

Xiao Wu, on the other hand, leaned on Su Bai's other side, stared in Tang San's direction for several seconds, and then muttered:

"Tang San looks...a little different today."

Su Bai followed her gaze and looked over.

Tang San walked in the middle of the team, his pace much calmer than usual. And his right hand was always half-clasped, as if he was holding something.

"Interesting, could it be..."

After the game started, Tang San's performance verified Su Bai's guess.

He didn't use Bluesilver Grass at all.

From the moment the referee called start, Tang San flipped his right hand, and a pitch-black Clear Sky Hammer appeared out of thin air.

The hammer body is not big, but the heavy pressure can be felt across the entire soul fighting arena.

"Chaos cloak hammering technique!"

Tang San took a step forward, his body spinning, and the Clear Sky Hammer danced in his hands, creating layers of afterimages.

The first hammer hit the body-protecting soul skill of the captain of Kamikaze Academy, causing the opponent to retreat.Three steps. The second hammer followed closely, and the force was superimposed, directly smashing the body-protecting soul skill into pieces.

The third hammer, the fourth hammer, the fifth hammer, the power increased gradually, and by the seventh hammer, the captain of the Kamikaze Academy had been knocked off the edge of the ring.

The audience was quiet for a moment, and then burst into cheers.

Ning Rongrong wrinkled her nose: "Haotian Hammer... No wonder he kept hiding it before."

Xiao Wu held her chin and said in a nonchalant tone: "The hammering technique is quite decent, but the soul rings are too bad, there are no soul rings."

Su Bai laughed.

Without a soul ring, the Clear Sky Hammer could sweep through the Divine Wind Academy with just the random cloak hammer technique.

Wait until Tang San equips the Clear Sky Hammer with a spirit ring, plus the control of the Blue Silver Grass.

"Tang San is making progress." Su Bai said to himself.

And Su Bai also used this to confirm one thing. With the seven-in-one soul skill, Tang San might be able to use his martial soul avatar.

​But is it useful?

To Su Bai, it was useless!

Dugu Yan interjected from the back row: "No matter how fast you progress, you still can't beat Brother Bai."

"That's natural." Su Bai nodded matter-of-factly.

Ning Rongrong covered her mouth and snickered.

Tiandou Royal Academy won this game without any suspense.

After the game, Tang San's name was mentioned repeatedly in the audience.

The power of the Clear Sky Hammer and the Chaotic Cloak Hammer technique made many people look at Tiandou Royal Academy in a new light.

Su Bai didn't pay much attention to these discussions. His attention has turned to another game.

On the schedule, there is another focus match today.

Tianshui College versus Blazing Fire College.

"Are these two teams again? Are they really incompatible?"
