Douluo: Reincarnation of Leosli, punishing the evildoers

"Wow, really? The Spirit Hall actually offered three spirit bones as a champion's reward!" A gasp rang out from the crowd. The shock of seeing it for themselves made everyone present feel excited. Their eyes were fixed on the three mysterious spirit bones, as if they were shining with a dazzling light that was irresistible.

Some people couldn't help but reveal their greedy expressions, their faces filled with longing. Tang San was one of them. Although he hid his desires very well, his bright eyes could never leave those three soul bones, as if they were the most coveted treasures in his heart.

"These three soul bones are..." The Ghost Douluo behind Bibi Dong began to introduce these precious soul bones in a deep and powerful voice.

As soon as she finished speaking, Bibi Dong took over, her voice filled with unparalleled authority, "There can only be one victor, therefore, these three soul bones belong solely to the ultimate winning team. So, I hope you will give it your all and seize this glory with an outstanding performance!"

After speaking, she gracefully retrieved her soul bone and slowly returned to her seat.

"Yes," the crowd responded, waiting for the referee to come forward and arrange the battle.

Looking at the tray, a hint of reluctance flashed in the eyes of the elders, but they quickly suppressed it.

You can't catch a big fish by casting a long line; you can't get a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone without giving it up.

Although it was a little painful, seeing the little girl from Shrek with her head down instantly turned my reluctance into joy.

A soul bone that's been around for 100,000 years!

If they get it, they'll be one step closer to that goal.

Of course, now is not the time.

We'll discuss everything after the match.

First, send someone to keep an eye on Tang San and his group, and also check if the Clear Sky Sect members are present, just in case things go wrong.

"Now, please return to the rest area!" The cardinal's voice rang out again, as if dropping a bombshell at this tense moment. "You have fifteen minutes to discuss the players to compete in the next match. Once the time is up, the three players will come up on stage to draw lots, and the match will officially begin."

As the words fell, the three teams, like an orchestra under conductor's direction, returned to the rest area. At Shrek Academy, just as the students sat down, Yu Xiaogang slowly stood up, as if he had suddenly stepped from a relaxed atmosphere into the eye of the storm.

"???" Everyone present was stunned for a moment, as if time had frozen.

Yu Xiaogang stood with one hand behind his back, his back straight, his gaze fixed on Bibi Dong, who was sitting in front of the Papal Palace, and said calmly, "Your Holiness, I have something to say."

In that instant, doubt arose in the hearts of all the Soul Masters: Yu Xiaogang, are you getting too big for your britches? This is the Spirit Hall, and the Pope is sitting right in front of you. How can you speak here like this? Shouldn't you bow first?
Moreover, this is clearly a competition. How could you look Pope Bibidon in the eye without consulting the cardinal? What kind of courage is that!

Yu Xiaogang's actions were undeniably rude and completely disregarded the occasion, even causing Ning Fengzhi to frown. Although they had agreed on withdrawing from the individual elimination rounds, couldn't he at least show a little humility? The expressions of his teammates around him also changed, even Flander seemed somewhat surprised, thinking to himself: This idiot…

If this weren't his brother, Flander would have wanted to beat him to death right now.

What kind of plane?
Every single one of the people here, who is he able to beat?
Flander used to think that Yu Xiaogang had just read too many books and was bad at understanding human relationships, but now it seems that this guy has no brains at all.

These people were all well-informed insiders. They'd heard that Yu Xiao's martial spirit had just been destroyed by Bibi Dong, and he'd almost lost his life—it was truly a cold sweat. How could he dare to be so reckless? Had he lost his mind?

"How dare you! How dare you be so disrespectful as to look directly at the Pope!" The cardinals sitting behind Bibi Dong glared at him angrily, especially the cardinal standing at the front who was in charge of the refereeing today. He suddenly jumped up from his seat, his voice as deafening as thunder.

The surrounding paladin knights were not to be outdone, their gazes sharp as knives as they coldly swept over them.

Yu Xiaogang seemed to snap out of his daze, a tremor running through him, but he remained composed. His actions just now were indeed somewhat impolite, but he would never bow down to Bibi Dong in front of everyone. Even as a cripple, he still possessed his pride and principles.

Bibi Dong gently pressed down her right hand, her gaze sharp and intense, and glanced at him indifferently, "What is it?"

“What I want to say is,” Yu Xiaogang said calmly, without bowing or using any honorifics, “that Shrek Academy has decided to forfeit the first half of the finals and voluntarily enter the loser’s bracket final this afternoon.”

They abandoned individual competitions, which they were not good at, and instead gave their all to the team competitions...

The surrounding Soul Masters immediately understood, secretly thinking to themselves: This is indeed a good choice, but do you have to be so arrogant? Even Title Douluos aren't as cocky as you. It makes people think the Spirit Hall is your home!
The Spirit Masters of the Spirit Hall had icy cold eyes.

"Why?" Bibi Dong's expression remained unchanged, seemingly unmoved by this decision.

"There's no particular reason," Yu Xiaogang said calmly. "I believe that admitting defeat is our right."

"Wow!" The Soul Masters from all the academies were immediately stunned, their faces turning grim. Yu Xiaogang's words seemed harmless at first glance, but considering his tone, the person he addressed, and the occasion, it was highly problematic. Without bowing or using honorifics, he dared to speak like this in front of the Pope's Palace, right under the noses of numerous Soul Masters from the Spirit Hall—it was tantamount to publicly provoking Pope Bibi Dong and openly showing contempt for the entire Spirit Hall.

Is Yu Xiaogang out of his mind? He's really fearless... Everyone's thoughts were almost identical. Look at him, even his martial spirit is ruined, yet he dares to put on airs here. He's just an ordinary person now, what exactly does he want?
Disrespecting the Spirit Hall and publicly defying the Pope—even if Bibi Dong herself didn't care, the other Spirit Masters in the Spirit Hall, and those who worshipped the Pope, wouldn't let him off so easily. If word got out today, Yu Xiaogang would likely be beaten to a pulp by some Spirit Master the moment he dared to go out alone. It might even implicate Flander and the others, and perhaps even the entire Shrek Academy.

At first, everyone had some doubts about whether Yu Xiaogang would really dare to sneak into the Papal Palace to meet Bibi Dong with that mysterious papal decree. But now, they all believed it. This guy really has something wrong with his head.

Anyone who gets involved with him is doomed; stay away from him from now on. (End of Chapter)
