Douluo: Ant Power Breaks the Sky

Chapter 80 Wuhun City

Shi Yi was waiting outside the barracks, when suddenly he saw Liu Erlong carrying Yu Xiaogang out as if she were a chicken.

Just when Shi Yi was puzzled, he heard Yu Xiaogang's fading voice, "Erlong, what are you doing? Stop making trouble..."

Shi Yi looked at the two people's backs as they walked away, smiled and thought to himself: "It's quite exciting for someone of such an old age to have fun. I wonder if the teacher's small body can withstand the torture of a Soul Saint."

Regarding Yu Xiaogang's plan to meet Bibi Dong, Liu Erlong chose the most direct method, which was to let the other party hand over his public grain first.

Shi Yi was also very curious about how beautiful Bibi Dong was in real life to make Liu Erlong feel such a great sense of crisis. However, based on what Shi Yi had seen of the Douluo Continent so far, the women who could practice cultivation would not be too bad looking. Even though Yu Xiaogang was still at level 29 and over fifty years old, he looked much younger than those people over fifty in his previous life.

Thinking of this, Shi Yi smiled and shook his head, then returned to the barracks and waited quietly for Yu Xiaogang's return.

After an unknown amount of time, Shi Yi and Yu Xiaogang boarded the carriage heading to Wuhun City. Seeing Yu Xiaogang's stiff face looking much paler than usual, Shi Yi chuckled and said jokingly, "Teacher, Master's Wife almost sucked you dry."

Yu Xiaogang's face darkened, but he didn't say anything.

Shi Yi smiled and took out a few green leaves from his soul guide and handed them to Yu Xiaogang, chuckling, "Dragon Ganoderma leaves have the effect of strengthening the body and replenishing the essence."

Yu Xiaogang looked at Shi Yi, took the dragon zhi leaves very honestly, and started taking them immediately.

Feeling the effect of the dragon zhi leaves, Yu Xiaogang showed a look of surprise on his face.

"This was taken from Xiao San's soul guide. If I hadn't taken action, I wouldn't have known that this kid had hidden so many good things." Shi Yi said with a chuckle.

Yu Xiaogang looked at the remaining dragon zhi leaves in his hand with a complicated expression, then slowly shifted his gaze to Shi Yi and said softly, "If Xiao San falls into your hands in the future, I hope you can spare his life."

"You have told him this, right? I guess he agreed?" Shi Yi looked at Yu Xiaogang and asked softly.

Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly. Shi Yi continued, "Teacher, you should know how credible his promise is. I don't want to lie to you. I'm different from him. Anyone who touches my bottom line will die. It's meaningless to leave him with a miserable life and then use some obscure methods to torture him into the countdown to death. You know, I'm not that kind of person. At present, he is protected by his father, and I can't kill him. If he behaves better, I will let it go for your sake. I can only hate myself for my lack of strength. But if he offends me again, when I can kill him without fear of anything, I will not show mercy."

Yu Xiaogang looked at Shi Yi with a complicated expression when he heard this, but said nothing. He knew very well that Tang San's answer was just as Shi Yi said, and Tang San's promise did not have much credibility.

For a moment, the carriage fell into silence.

"Teacher, death is terrible, but living a lingering life is even more despairing." Shi Yi said softly.

"Forget it, maybe I shouldn't have accepted Xiao San. To this day, I still can't understand Xiao San's thoughts. You two could have lived in harmony as brothers, so why did it come to this?" Yu Xiaogang sighed helplessly.

Shi Yi shook his head slightly and said, "Teacher's understanding of Xiao San is still too one-sided. Xiao Wu's position in his heart is far more important than us, his teacher and senior brother. Have you been to Tang San's home? But Xiao Wu has been there. You may not believe it. In his eyes, we may not be as good as those skills and weapons. As a sect spirit master, you should understand what those systematic skills and weapons mean to a sect."

Yu Xiaogang was also a little surprised at this time, and subconsciously said: "Xiao San wants to set up his own sect? Will the Haotian Sect agree?"

In Yu Xiaogang's opinion, there is no need for Tang San to set up his own sect, he just needs to return to the Haotian Sect.

Shi Yi nodded slightly and continued, "Of course not now, but when he has eighteen spirit rings, plus his father, do you think he still needs the consent of the Haotian Sect? If he sets up his own sect, what kind of situation do you think I should be in after learning those skills? It's like a child who has the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex spirit but is not a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect. This situation should have happened in your sect, such as illegitimate children. Generally, such children have only two paths, either return to the sect or die..."

Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

"If you were an ordinary soul master with no background, Xiao San might still regard you as a real teacher, but you were born from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, do you understand now?" Shi Yi said softly.

Yu Xiaogang was silent. Even if he was stupid, he understood what Shi Yi meant. It was obvious that Tang San had always been on guard against his teacher.

"Perhaps you will say that my senior brother has no background, but Xiao San does not think that he has the ability to accept me as his senior brother into the sect. In a sense, he is also a very self-aware person. He knows very well that he is not good in theory, nor in application, but he still has some hope in terms of strength. If I enter his sect, it is still unknown who owns this sect. This is why he has not passed on those skills to me for so many years." Shi Yi chuckled.

"Oh..." Yu Xiaogang sighed when he heard this.

"To be fair, from a rational point of view, I think there is nothing wrong with what he did. Although I want those skills, I will not take them away. But like I said at the beginning, everyone will face choices, but choices are not always completely correct. Tang San's only mistake was to listen to Dai Mubai's instigation, and now he can only continue to make the best of it." Shi Yi said lightly.

"I shouldn't have let you become Zhu Zhuqing's teacher in the first place." Yu Xiaogang said helplessly.

"Teacher, it's pointless to trace the root cause. Humans are not gods. Since I chose to help Zhu Qing, I have also intervened in the cause and effect between them. Now there is no trace of the Nether White Tiger, so it is natural that he hates me. I'm just a jumping clown." Shi Yi said with a smile.

"As for cause and effect, I, as your teacher, am not as open-minded as you." Yu Xiaogang sighed.

"Okay, don't think so much. Just wait patiently. When my cultivation level reaches a higher level, I will open up your meridians. By then, I hope you can make use of your remaining energy and get another mistress. Then it won't be impossible for you to join the Spirit Hall." Shi Yi chuckled.

Yu Xiaogang paused and looked at Shi Yi, whose calm eyes were now disturbed. The hand that was still holding the dragon zhi leaf began to tremble slightly.

"You already have a solution..." Yu Xiaogang said with a trembling voice.

"If I can do it, you can do it too. I have designed the plan, but it is still a bit difficult at the moment. You are weak, so you will need to exercise for a while first, and then take some medicine to strengthen your body. Then I will take you to find the assistant of the Royal Fighting Team. With the improvement of my cultivation and the enhancement of my control, coupled with the medicine and the insurance of the auxiliary soul master, there should not be too many problems. Even if you are over fifty years old now, with the blessing of Baimai Jutong, it should not be a problem for you to practice for a few decades until you are awarded the title." Shi Yi chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang quickly whispered to Shi Yi, "Fortunately, this driver is just an ordinary person who doesn't practice cultivation, otherwise I would have asked you to kill him. Don't say this outside. Do you know what this means?"

"Of course. But don't be too happy too soon, teacher. This is definitely risky and you still have a lot of time to consider it." Shi Yi chuckled.

Yu Xiaogang smiled and said, "If you told me there was no risk at all, I really wouldn't dare to be your test subject. I would die without regrets if I could have a chance to see the realm of the title."

"Okay, go and have fun. There's still a long way to go. It's boring, so it's a good time to practice." As he spoke, Shi Yi gradually entered the state of practice.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Shi Yi who was gradually entering into cultivation. Yu Xiaogang suddenly seemed to have made up his mind, and his eyes were full of determination as he looked at Shi Yi.

Seven days later, Wuhun City.

Yu Xiaogang, dressed in cloth, brought Shi Yi into the city after being examined by the soul masters. A great soul master and a soul ancestor would naturally not attract any attention.

Without stopping for a moment, not even taking a breath to rest, Yu Xiaogang and Shi Yi headed towards the mountain in the center of the city. Yes, the mountain in the city.

The highest ruling body of the Spirit Hall, the Pope's Hall, is located halfway up the mountain. It is said that the Douluo Hall is on the top of the mountain, but Shi Yi has no idea where the Elders Hall and the Worship Hall are.

In front of the Papal Palace.

"Stop." Two palace knights wearing silver armor blocked the way of Yu Xiaogang and Shi Yi. "This is a forbidden area. If you come any closer, I will kill you without mercy."

Yu Xiaogang looked calm as he slowly took out his token from his soul guide.

The leading palace knight stepped forward quickly. When he saw the six patterns on the token clearly, he couldn't help but shudder. With a plop, he knelt on one knee and said, "Greetings, elder." "Take me to see the Pope." Yu Xiaogang said calmly.

Half an hour later, in the meeting hall of the Pope's Palace, Yu Xiaogang and Shi Yi drank the finest tea and waited quietly.

"Teacher, what do you think Master's wife is doing? I guess she must have been getting dressed up to meet you for such a long time." Shi Yi chuckled and joked.

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Yu Xiaogang's face, and a trace of nostalgia flashed in the depths of his eyes. He coughed a little embarrassedly and said, "Don't talk nonsense later, and don't call me nonsense."

"We are both men, don't worry, I promise not to tell on Master's wife." Shi Yi winked at Yu Xiaogang.

After Shi Yi finished speaking, the archway of the main hall happened to open, and a gentle voice sounded outside the door, "You wait outside, and no one is allowed to disturb you without my order."

"Yes." The palace guard responded.

Shi Yi also cast his curious gaze over there, the door opened, and a woman walked in from outside.

Bibi Dong was not tall, but had a well-proportioned figure. She wore a black and gold-embellished robe, a nine-curve purple gold crown on her head, and a two-meter-long scepter inlaid with countless gems. Her fair skin and nearly perfect face made Shi Yi pause slightly.

"No wonder Qianxunji couldn't help it..." Shi Yi said secretly in his heart.

Especially the invisible nobility and sacredness that Bibi Dong exudes, which makes men's desire to conquer her explode.

Yu Xiaogang stood up slowly, and the two people's complicated gazes collided in the air. At this moment, Shi Yi could only drink his tea awkwardly on the side.

Bibi Dong still looks young, but she is actually one year older than Yu Xiaogang. The scepter in her hand fell to the ground with a slight ding sound.

"No, teacher, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable. I'll leave first. I'll wait for you outside the hall." Shi Yi hurriedly said to Yu Xiaogang.

Before Yu Xiaogang could respond, Shi Yi appeared.

"Is he the disciple you accepted? He is very smart and his personality is completely different from yours." Bibi Dong's voice was extremely gentle, which made people feel friendly.

Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly with a complicated expression, looked at Bibi Dong and whispered: "Are you... okay?"

Bibi Dong smiled faintly: "As the ruler of the Spirit Hall, what's wrong with that?"

Yu Xiaogang heard the hidden meaning and sighed softly: "Bibi Dong, I know the pain in your heart."

"Bibi Dong? If you hadn't said that, I would have almost forgotten this name. Please call me Pope, or Your Majesty. I am no longer the Bibi Dong I once was."

Yu Xiaogang's pupils shrank, a trace of pain flowed out of his eyes, and the whole person seemed to be immersed in past memories, "Yes, Your Holiness."

Bibi Dong looked at Yu Xiaogang, the indifference in her eyes disappeared, and a trace of reluctance flashed across her eyes. She raised her foot, as if she wanted to move forward, but she stopped in the end.

Bibi Dong tried her best to keep her voice calm. "Why did you come to see me? We haven't seen each other for twenty years."

"Your Holiness, I am here to ask for a favor." Yu Xiaogang said softly, and he himself did not even notice the slightest tremor in his words.

Bibi Dong looked at Yu Xiaogang with a hint of disappointment in her eyes. The information about Shi Yi and Tang San had been on her desk for many days. She naturally understood what Yu Xiaogang was looking for.

Bibi Dong looked at Yu Xiaogang, the reluctance she felt had disappeared, and she said indifferently, "Go ahead."

Yu Xiaogang sighed slightly and said, "I hope that His Holiness the Pope can take care of my disciple. That's all I ask for. I have no other request."

Bibi Dong's eyes were full of surprise when she heard this, and her tone softened. "This is rare. As far as I know, your disciple is very outstanding and has even become a marquis of the Tiandou Empire. Elder Yu, didn't you find the wrong person? Shouldn't you ask the Tiandou Empire, or Qibao, Landian, or Haotian for this matter?"

Yu Xiaogang said slowly: "Your Holiness, you should have read Xiao Yi's information. He is my first disciple. To be honest, I am even a little embarrassed to say that he is my disciple. His theoretical achievements are much better than mine, and he has been following me for ten years. It is precisely because of these things that he needs a strong background, a background stronger than Tiandou, Landian, Qibao, and Haotian."

"Why should I help you? So that you can train a strong man to go against me in the future? Oh, no, it should be two." Bibi Dong said lightly, with a hint of sharpness in her voice.

Yu Xiaogang shook his head slightly and said, "Since I can bring Xiao Yi here, it means I am here with sincerity. Xiao Yi has been carefree since childhood. As long as Your Holiness the Pope is willing, it is not a bad idea to persuade him to serve you."

"So your other disciple is planning to go against the Spirit Hall?" Bibi Dong looked at Yu Xiaogang and asked softly.

Yu Xiaogang shook his head slightly and said, "Xiao San was born in Haotian Sect, which is not something I can control. Bibi Dong, I have never thought of training anyone to oppose you. This time, it is because Xiao San has murderous intentions towards Xiao Yi, so I came to seek your protection to leave a way out for Xiao Yi."

Bibi Dong's face showed a hint of realization when she heard this. When she heard Yu Xiaogang call out her name again, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes: "I see, that's how it is. Well, as long as he announces that he will join the Spirit Hall, not to mention protecting him, he can get the best training in the hall."

"As long as you can convince him, I, as a teacher, have no objection." Yu Xiaogang said softly.

"Okay, Xiaogang, you didn't come here just for these things this time, did you?" Bibi Dong looked at Yu Xiaogang tentatively.

Yu Xiaogang smiled bitterly and said, "Bibi Dong, since you have Xiao Yi's information, you must also have Xiao San's information. This time, I did want to ask you for a way to overcome the difficulty of having twin martial spirits, but... Alas... Never mind. I'll leave first. As for how you convince Xiao Yi, it's up to you."

After saying that, Yu Xiaogang walked towards the gate. When he reached the gate, Yu Xiaogang suddenly stopped and said slowly: "Bibi Dong, you are the first person I have ever loved. I have never thought of going against you."

"You're talking nonsense." Hearing this, Bibi Dong's body trembled violently, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time burst out. "You don't deserve it. If you love me, why would you leave me? Would you rather be with your own sister? You bastard, get out of here."

"You shouldn't ask me why I left you, you should ask the dead Pope. Heartless and ungrateful, you always use this word to describe me in your heart..." Yu Xiaogang said with a wry smile, and then slowly left.

Bibi Dong's body shook violently, as if she was about to fall without relying on the support of the staff.

She hated Yu Xiaogang for twenty years. What did it mean that she could maintain such a long hatred? It meant that her love for him was so deep.

Recalling everything the previous generation of popes taught her, as well as all that happened in the past, the truth that was blinded by hatred gradually emerged in her heart.

The scenery in front of her eyes gradually became hazy, and Bibi Dong's hand holding the scepter had turned white due to excessive force. "Is this fate playing tricks on me? Xiaogang, the affection between us, the affection between us..."

Bibi Dong suddenly ran to the place where Yu Xiaogang had sat before and sat down. She picked up the still warm tea and drank it in big gulps.
