Tang San was startled.
He hadn't expected that the exceptionally beautiful Pope before him would also recognize his useless teacher.
Then came a surge of joy.
This time, he was the one everyone was watching.
However, he didn't notice that on the outer perimeter, Yu Xiaogang was kneeling, head bowed
, trembling with fear.
Tang San suppressed his joy
and his hatred for the Spirit Hall,
answering calmly, "Yes, Your Holiness."
Bibi Dong nodded casually to Tang San and continued,
"I heard you're Tang Hao's son, and you have twin spirits?"
Tang San paused, suddenly feeling a sense of unease.
He replied with some trepidation, "Your Holiness, that's true."
"So... these are your reasons for ignoring the Spirit Hall?"
Bibi Dong's voice turned cold,
even carrying a hint of killing intent.
She had seen Tang San's hatred for Ye Qiu.
"..."
Tang San's body trembled.
Ma Hongjun and the others' hearts also raced.
"Tang San dares not."
Tang San lowered his head, his heart filled with extreme humiliation and resentment.
His hatred for the Spirit Hall deepened further.
"Dare not? If that's the case, why don't you kneel—!"
Bibi Dong suddenly shouted sharply.
Her soul power surged, and her oppressive aura pressed down on Tang San, Yu Tianheng, and the others.
"Thump!"
"Ah—!"
Without any surprise,
Yu Tianheng, Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai were directly forced to their knees,
letting out cries of pain.
Tang San bent over, his knees slowly approaching the ground.
Thump!
Without any suspense,
under Bibi Dong's oppressive aura, Tang San knelt directly on the ground, his face
contorted in rage.
Bibi Dong, on the other hand, wore a gleeful smile.
She was able to inherit the position of Pope
because of the previous Pope's appointment and the support of several elders.
However, she was able to maintain her position
entirely through her ruthless methods and strength.
"Very good, you know your mistakes and can correct them."
Bibi Dong didn't linger on Tang San for long, smiling as she looked at Ye Qiu, seemingly seeking his praise. Ye Qiu only managed a forced smile.
Now everyone knew that Bibi Dong was hypocritical. She was kind to Ye Qiu while deliberately targeting Tang San , but even knowing this, no one dared to say anything. Ning Fengzhi and the others, however, were completely bewildered. They had initially thought Bibi Dong was going to harm Ye Qiu, but instead, she showed him such favoritism. Bibi Dong was quite satisfied with the smile on Ye Qiu's face. She slightly waved her scepter, and a cheerful voice rang out, "Rise." As soon as she finished speaking , all those kneeling on the ground stood up. Because of the Pope's favoritism towards Ye Qiu and that strange favoritism, their gazes towards Ye Qiu and the others were no longer so angry. A smile appeared on Bibi Dong's face as she looked at the pale-faced Yu Tianheng and Dai Mubai. "Someone, heal them properly, don't let them miss the competition." "Yes!" In this Spirit City, there's no shortage of the Pope's lackeys. Soon, someone stepped forward and healed them.

Bibi Dong remained unfazed.
Her gaze swept across all the Soul Masters participating in the final three-way competition from left to right.
Her eyes lingered on Hu Liena.
"I see hope in you all."
"Before the Pope's Palace, I hope to see all your talents and strength."
"The ultimate victor will receive the Spirit Hall's greatest reward."
As she spoke, Bibi Dong lightly waved her scepter.
Few could see how she did it.
Three points of light instantly magnified before Bibi Dong, floating in mid-air.
They were three different objects.
None were large, shaped like bones: a right arm bone, a skull, and a left leg bone.
They shimmered with fiery red, pale blue, and dark green light, respectively.
Soul bones—three soul bones.
Even at the foot of Pope Mountain, the light of the three soul bones was clearly visible.
In an instant,
the entire Spirit City was in an uproar.
Apart from those who already knew about the final reward and Ye Qiu and the others,
who could have imagined it would be three soul bones?
The sheer radiance of these three soul bones revealed their exceptional quality.
Even among the members of the Spirit Hall,
many gleamed with greed.
If this weren't the Pope's Palace, and if it weren't for the presence of several Title Douluos,
many would have already succumbed to their greed
and rushed forward to seize them.
When Tang San first saw these three soul bones,
his earlier hatred almost vanished, and even
his resolve wavered.
These were soul bones!
For soul masters, they were the most precious things, something that could only be encountered by chance.
Among soul bones, there were also distinctions of high and low value.
Their inherent quality was extremely important.
The higher the level of the soul beast that produced the soul bone, the greater its effect.
Of course, external soul bones were an exception.
Because external soul bones were the rarest, their growth potential was the most precious of all soul bones.
In the entire system, they were second only to 100,000-year soul rings.
There were a total of six ordinary soul bones: head, torso, and limbs.
Of the six types of soul bones, the most precious is the torso, followed by the head, then the right hand, left hand, left leg, and right leg in that order. Even
soul bones of the same quality have different
values depending on their location.
While Pope Bibi Dong's three soul bones didn't include the most precious torso bone,
they did include a skull.
The right arm bone was second only to the skull and torso bones in value.
Even the least valuable left leg bone
wasn't the lowest value among the six.
These three soul bones were clearly from soul beasts over ten thousand years old.
For a soul master, they were top-tier items.
Tang San was already impatient to win
and then stuff those soul bones into his body.
At this moment,
Ghost Douluo, Ghost Phantom, stood behind the Pope.
In his deep voice, he
introduced, "The three soul bones are the Skull of Spiritual Condensation, the Right Arm of Explosive Burning Flames, and the Left Leg of Rapid Advancement."
"These three soul bones all originated from ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. Among them, the Skull of Spiritual Condensation came from a soul beast over fifty thousand years old, personally slain by the previous Pope. It is a top-grade soul bone, second only to external soul bones and the top-tier soul bones produced by one-hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts."
Pope Bibi Dong said calmly,
"There can only be one victor, and the same goes for the champion."
"Therefore, these three soul bones will belong to the final champion team. I hope that the three academies that have entered the top three will give their all and achieve this honor."
Bibi Dong's words were clearly somewhat superfluous.
No matter what level of soul master, no one could resist the gleam in their eyes upon seeing soul bones.
Especially three soul bones!
A strong fighting spirit surged forth from the soul masters of the Spirit Hall team and the Royal Fighting team almost instantly.
