Chapter 85 Bibi Dong's Breakthrough
Time began to tick by, and in the blink of an eye, two hours had passed. During this time, the entire Papal Palace was filled with a rich medicinal fragrance, as if every inch of air was permeated with the power of the medicine.
Chrysanthemum Douluo absorbed the medicinal effects the fastest, naturally because of his perfect synergy with the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. Chrysanthemum Douluo was now radiating golden light, and his soul power level had stabilized at the peak of level ninety-six. Although he hadn't reached level ninety-seven, it was still quite impressive. Under the influence of the medicine, his body seemed to be undergoing some kind of mysterious transformation, each breath feeling like an exchange with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Chrysanthemum Douluo slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with surprise. He could feel that his body had become stronger than ever before, as if every inch of his skin was filled with power. Now, he had successfully cultivated an indestructible body, and with the breakthrough in his soul power level, Chrysanthemum Douluo estimated that he could now completely defeat his previous five selves, and he was even confident that he could stand up to the enshrined figures in the Hall of Worship.
Juhua Guan knelt on one knee before Huo Yuhao with eyes full of gratitude: "Holy Son, I will never forget your kindness in giving me a second chance. From now on, my life belongs to you, Holy Son. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west."
Huo Yuhao quickly helped Ju Douluo up: "Elder Ju, you flatter me. You are all elders of my Spirit Hall. As the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, I will naturally not mistreat you. Moreover, your current mission is to be loyal to the Pope wholeheartedly. Do not forget your identity." Huo Yuhao's words carried an unquestionable authority.
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Ju Huaguan quickly nodded in agreement. Ju Huaguan could naturally understand that Huo Yuhao was subtly reminding him not to forget who he was truly loyal to—the Pope of the Spirit Hall, not the benefactor who had given him the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.
Huo Yuhao's meaning was clear: even if the person who gave him the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum was not from the Spirit Hall, Chrysanthemum Douluo would still be loyal to the Spirit Hall.
Faced with Huo Yuhao's reprimand, Juhua Guan not only did not feel uncomfortable, but was actually very happy. After all, the Holy Son was young but already had a deep mind and was brave and resourceful. This was a great thing for the Spirit Hall. Juhua Guan could already foresee that in the near future, after Huo Yuhao became a Title Douluo and succeeded to the position of Pope, the entire Spirit Hall would surely prosper like never before.
The second one to awaken was Ghost Douluo. With the help of the Other Shore Flower, his soul power reached level ninety-six, and there were some obvious changes in his body.
The ghostly aura emanating from Ghost Douluo grew stronger and stronger, and his figure appeared and disappeared intermittently, as if he were not even in this space. His martial soul also evolved from a ghostly phantom into an even more powerful ghostly shadow.
On the scene, only Bibi Dong remained, sitting cross-legged on her throne, absorbing the medicinal power of the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid and constantly trying to break through the bottleneck of level ninety-eight.
However, the gap between level 97 and level 98 was too great. Just like Tian Zhe, who was about to exhaust the medicinal power of the Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid, Gu Yuena took a step forward and walked in front of Bibi Dong.
"Na'er, are you... trying to help your teacher?" Huo Yuhao asked in surprise. Judging from Gu Yuena's cold personality, this didn't seem like something she would do.
Gu Yuena blinked and replied, "After all, I stayed at the Spirit Hall for a while and played cards with Bibi Dong a few times. Consider this payment as covering my room and card game fees." Gu Yuena's voice carried a hint of playfulness.
After Gu Yuena finished speaking, a terrifying energy burst forth from her hand. A silver-white energy halo enveloped Bibi Dong, and the power, surpassing even the Limit Douluo level and reaching god-level, emanated a terrifying pressure. This power seemed capable of tearing apart space, causing the surrounding air to freeze.
Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo were practically bulging their eyes in disbelief. What kind of power was this, so terrifyingly powerful? They had thought that after breaking through to level 96, they were among the most powerful experts on the continent, but they felt as insignificant as ants before this force. Just who was this Gu Yuena? How could such an outrageously ruthless character have been right under their noses for months without them even noticing?
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao had already spread his Ice and Fire Wings to tightly protect Dugu Yan in his arms. After all, Gu Yuena's oppressive aura was too great, and even a trace of it would cause great harm.
Dugu Yan was being held protectively in Huo Yuhao's arms. Her head was spinning; she realized she was the only useless person present. She had initially thought Gu Yuena was a bronze-level player like herself, but it turned out Gu Yuena had revealed herself to be a top-tier player.
The instant Gu Yuena unleashed her oppressive aura, Qian Daoliu and the other six elders appeared in the Papal Palace like ghosts. Qian Daoliu still gripped the Angelic Sword tightly, its blade gleaming coldly in the dim light. He seemed prepared to face his enemies, but upon realizing the pressure emanated from Gu Yuena, he breathed a sigh of relief, his tension easing slightly. He slowly sheathed the Angelic Sword behind his back, its tip no longer pointing at anyone.
At this moment, Dugu Yan was completely numb. She stood there, dumbfounded, staring at the seven Title Douluos before her, her heart filled with shock. The aura emanating from these individuals was many times stronger than that of her grandfather. She couldn't help but wonder if the Spirit Hall's strength was a bit outrageous; if a real war broke out, how would the two great empires possibly cope?
The other elders stared in shock at Gu Yuena and Bibi Dong, who stood amidst a silver halo around her. They could clearly sense that Bibi Dong's strength had reached the peak of level 97, and it was still rising, seemingly about to break through the limit of level 98.
What shocked them even more was that Chrysanthemum Pass and Ghostly Demon had also broken through to level 96, especially Chrysanthemum Pass, who showed signs of breaking through to level 97. The improvement in the strength of these two elders was simply unbelievable.
"Chrysanthemum Pass, Ghostly Demon, what's going on with your strength? Why have you become so much stronger?" Golden Crocodile Douluo couldn't help but ask. His voice was full of doubt and confusion.
"The Golden Crocodile Offering is a divine herb I gave to Elder Chrysanthemum Ghost," Huo Yuhao said from the side.
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Guangling Douluo's eyes lit up instantly. He ran to Huo Yuhao's side and hugged Huo Yuhao's arm tightly, refusing to let go: "Yuhao, do you still have any of those immortal herbs? Can you give me a few too? I've always loved you the most since you were little. I'm the one who braided your hair. You can't forget your Grandpa Guangling."
Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly. He was already used to Guangling Douluo's coquettishness: "Alright, Grandpa Guangling, I have naturally prepared your immortal herbs, as well as the immortal herbs offered by everyone. However, I will give them to you after Teacher breaks through."
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Guangling reluctantly let go and ran back to Qingluan Douluo's side.
Just then, with Gu Yuena's help, Bibi Dong finally broke through the level 98 bottleneck. A terrifying pressure instantly emanated from Bibi Dong, causing the entire Papal Palace to tremble. That power swept through the space like a storm, making everyone present feel an unprecedented sense of oppression. Fine cracks appeared on the walls and pillars of the Papal Palace, as if it might collapse at any moment.
At this moment, Bibi Dong opened her eyes. Her eyes were flashing with purple-pink light, and her gaze was full of confidence. After breaking through to level 98, Bibi Dong could feel that her strength had increased to another level. Apart from Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong had no rivals in the entire Spirit Hall!
