Chapter 186: Fallen Spirit Master Tang San

"Congratulations on achieving the final victory." Bibi Dong's gaze swept over Shi Quan and the others. Although she had mentally prepared herself, she felt some reluctance as she took the brocade tray containing the three soul bones from the hands of the Spirit Hall personnel.

"I invite the representative of the Heaven Dou Team to come forward and receive the championship prize," the Cardinal acting as referee announced loudly.

"Xiao Quan, you go," the members of the Heaven Dou Team all turned their gazes toward Shi Quan.

Shi Quan nodded slightly, and without declining, he walked step by step toward Bibi Dong.

"You are outstanding, even more outstanding than I had anticipated," Bibi Dong said with a nod. "Are you willing to join my Pope Palace?"

Soon, Chen Xin shook his head slightly and said, "What the Poison Douluo said is true."

"Your Holiness the Pope, may I ask if the tournament has concluded?" Ning Fengzhi looked thoughtfully at Bibi Dong and the two Title Douluo behind her.

"Bibi Dong, you are framing him! How could my disciple possibly be a Fallen Spirit Master!" Yu Xiaogang roared in anger!

The hearts of the many teams present rose to their throats, because anyone whose name was called might have had their life force devoured by Tang San.

"What!" The Heaven Dou Empire Academy team, who had been confused just a moment ago, now had their expressions change drastically, filled with panic. Destroying a person's foundation was equivalent to cutting off their future.

Bibi Dong looked at the Cardinal referee on the stage and said, "Bring the Spirit Team and the students from the other participating academies of the Heaven Dou Empire up here!"

"A single battle!?" Bibi Dong sneered. "Since he dared to devour the life force of the Spirit Team during the Grand Finals, then I am certain that he has likewise devoured the life force of other teams in previous battles!"

"Since I dared to order an arrest, I naturally have already obtained the evidence."

Tang San's complexion turned pale, and he had a foreboding premonition in his heart. "Could it be that my secret methods have been discovered? How is this possible!"

Yu Tianheng's expression changed slightly, not knowing how to answer.

Bibi Dong frowned slightly. Seeing Yu Xiaogang's angry gaze, her aura softened a little. She knew this matter was not easy to accept, especially for Yu Xiaogang. As his disciple, Tang San must have been treated with the utmost care, but if she did not arrest him now, and Tang San committed more wrongdoings in the future, Yu Xiaogang's reputation would be completely ruined. By discovering it early, she could still find a way to let the two of them sever their connection.

Below Pope Mountain, a commotion suddenly arose. Tap, tap, tap—footsteps sounded incessantly, and the square in front of the Pope Palace gradually filled with people.

Bibi Dong's cold voice came through, "Yesterday, after the second half of the Grand Finals concluded, when the Spirit Hall was treating the injuries of the Spirit Team, it was discovered that all members of the Spirit Team had a portion of their original life force devoured. The amount devoured was very small, but enough to damage their foundations and affect their subsequent cultivation, and it is difficult to detect for anyone other than a Title Douluo!"

Dugu Bo took the opportunity to place his hand on them, pouring in soul power. A moment later, Dugu Bo's eyebrows twitched.

The gazes of the crowd were inevitably drawn to Bibi Dong.

Hearing this, Tang San's figure could not help but tremble slightly.

One student after another walked forward after their names were called, then returned to their teams.

"What?!" Yu Tianxin's figure trembled violently. He turned his head to look in the direction of Shrek, and upon noticing Yu Tianheng, his eyes turned blood-red as he roared at Yu Tianheng, "Yu Tianheng, you dared to let Tang San destroy my talent! The elders of the family will definitely not let you off!"

Dugu Bo followed closely behind, and after finishing his inspection, he also nodded and said, "The same."

"Old Poison, you should have your own people check first, lest you say that we in the Spirit Hall have tampered with things," the Chrysanthemum Douluo said with a smile as he looked at Dugu Bo.

"If you do not believe it, Elder Sword Douluo and Elder Poison Douluo can investigate personally!" Ning Fengzhi's expression changed slightly, and he nodded toward the Sword Douluo behind him.

Chen Xin leaped lightly and landed in front of the seven members of the Spirit Team. He raised his hand to investigate their physical conditions. Soon, Chen Xin finished examining them all, and with a furrowed brow, he said, "What the Pope said is true!"

The crowd present was in an immediate uproar.

Dugu Bo snorted coldly. Yu Tianxin also hurriedly walked to the front of Dugu Bo, took a deep breath, and with a nervous expression, extended his hand.

"Your situation is a bit better than Yu Tianxin's."

"Since the rewards have been distributed, this tournament has ended in victory," Bibi Dong's gaze then landed on Tang San. "Elder Ghost Douluo, Elder Chrysanthemum Douluo, take Tang San down."

"Next..."

The Chrysanthemum Douluo raised an eyebrow and said with a faint smile, "Since you all say so, I don't need to check. Let's just go to the next one."

Yu Xiaogang also said with a furrowed brow, "There are many reasons for a loss of life force. To label my disciple a Fallen Spirit Master based on just one battle—is the Spirit Hall being too overbearing?"

45.32.85.244

Beside them, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, Shi Mo, and Shi Quan all nodded in agreement.

Just after returning to the team, Yu Feng said with a smile, "Xiao Quan, you keep the soul bones. We have already discussed it; if it weren't for you, we wouldn't be standing here today, and our strength wouldn't have improved so quickly. You have contributed the most to the entire team, and we haven't really done much. These three soul bones should rightfully be yours."

Shi Quan looked at the three soul bones in his hands. The age of the three soul bones was somewhat low. He had a soul bone enhancer, so if they remained in his hands, he could still strengthen them. After looking around at the others, he said, "The specific arrangements for the soul bones will be discussed after we return to Heaven Dou. There is no rush now."

"I will certainly not fail Your Holiness's expectations," Shi Quan said, bowing. He reached out to take the brocade tray from Bibi Dong's hands and turned to return to his team.

"Come here and let me see," Chen Xin said, frowning.

"Elder Yue, examine the bodies of the Heaven Dou Empire Academy members one by one. If you find any problems, speak plainly!"

"Yes, Your Holiness," Shi Quan replied.

"It's actually true?! Doesn't that mean Tang San is a Fallen Spirit Master?!"

If Dugu Bo represented the Heaven Dou Empire and Yue Guan represented the Spirit Hall, then Chen Xin represented the Three Upper Sects.

"What?" Ning Fengzhi's expression changed, his gaze narrowing as he looked at Tang San. A Fallen Spirit Master? Was Bibi Dong referring to Tang San?

As soon as Xue Qinghe's voice fell, the gazes of everyone present toward Tang San changed. They had almost all concluded that Tang San was a Fallen Spirit Master; otherwise, how could Tang San's strength have suddenly improved by so much during the competition?

"First, the first one: Thunder Team, Yu Tianxin."

"The same."

Thunder Academy, Kamikaze Academy, Blazing Academy, Tianshui Academy—the academies belonging to the Heaven Dou Empire were all still there. Wuhun City was independent of the two great empires and was a long distance from Heaven Dou City. With the Crown Prince of the Empire leading the Royal Knights as an escort, and with Title Douluo accompanying them, the safety factor was undoubtedly greatly increased. Therefore, they all chose to stay behind, waiting for the tournament results while planning to return to the Empire with the team afterward.

Just as Bibi Dong's words fell, Xue Qinghe's voice also followed, "There is no need for such trouble. The Heaven Dou Empire has actually also suspected Tang San's identity and has been secretly investigating this matter, but we have never found accurate evidence. According to Your Holiness the Pope's words, I have a list here. We can first screen the people on the list to see if there is anything wrong with their bodies."

"Have you already distributed them?" Bibi Dong glanced at Ning Fengzhi, her gaze landing on the arena.

"You are framing me!" Tang San roared.

Bibi Dong's expression did not change, but she said with regret, "If that is the case, I wish you success in your future cultivation, to become a powerhouse of a generation, and to have your name inscribed in the Spirit Hall of Fame soon."

Everyone was shocked. Yu Xiaogang even stepped forward and asked angrily, "Your Majesty the Pope, what do you mean by this? Why do you want to take my disciple down?!"

In an instant.

During the interval of notifying the various academies to come up the mountain, the collapsed square in front of the Pope Palace was restored to flatness by a Spirit Saint powerhouse with earth attributes. At this time, the teams from the various academies were lined up neatly, standing in the center of the square in order.

The Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo would not stop their actions because of Yu Xiaogang's words. Just as the two were about to move, Ning Fengzhi quickly moved sideways, blocking them. "Your Holiness the Pope, shouldn't you provide a reason? After all, Tang San is not only a person of the Heaven Dou Empire, but also a member of the Clear Sky Sect among our Three Upper Sects!"

Bibi Dong looked coldly at Ning Fengzhi, then at Xue Qinghe, and sneered, "A fine Heaven Dou Empire, a fine Three Upper Sects. Do you know that cultivating a Fallen Spirit Master is to stand against all Spirit Masters in the world!"

As she spoke, Bibi Dong handed over the brocade tray in her hands.

Hearing this, flames of anger flickered in Qian Renxue's eyes, and she stared fixedly at Bibi Dong.

He naturally loved to see such things happen; Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng were both candidates for the inheritance of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family in this generation, and now that one of the successors had been ruined by someone from the Clear Sky Sect, the people of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family would certainly not let the matter rest, and the Spirit Hall was naturally happy to see infighting among the Three Upper Sects.

As for the Star Luo Empire, because they had no teams advancing to the subsequent matches, they had all already left with the Star Luo Royal Academy.

Shi Quan smiled nonchalantly; he had already reached a cooperation agreement with Qian Renxue and had no need to worry about Bibi Dong's probing or threats, so he said directly, "Thank you for your approval, Your Holiness the Pope, but this junior may have to decline your kind offer. This junior's friends and family are all in the Heaven Dou Empire, and this junior is also someone who loves freedom and does not wish to be constrained, so I am afraid I must disappoint Your Holiness."

As expected, everyone whose name was called had some physical issues, it was only a matter of severity, and among them, the most serious was naturally Yu Tianxin.

At the time, Tang San had thought that Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng had a competitive relationship, so he had drained a little more, which also resulted in his outcome being the most miserable.
