Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Don't forget, the Spirit Hall has a deep foundation among the masses.

If Bibi Dong steps down, the Spirit Hall will restore the benefits it once provided to the common people and reform its officialdom, winning far more popular support than the nobles.

Regarding Qian Gu Chang Kong's concerns, Wu Qi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa Qian will take down Bibi Dong at the crucial moment and reorganize the Spirit Hall."

Before the divine test, the vast sky was unaware of the terrifying power of the gods.

Now that he has passed the divine test, he has gained some understanding of the gods. In particular, he can sense a nauseating aura emanating from the direction of the Papal Palace.

It seems that Bibi Dong is also a descendant of a deity, but the deity's conduct may not be very honorable.

"Brother Wu, I'm so worried! Bibi Dong's strength will soon surpass Grandpa Qian's. When that happens, won't the Spirit Hall become the biggest evil force on the entire continent under her control?"

"Once a large number of low-level Soul Masters leave the Spirit Hall, our foundation will be destroyed."

Chen Ping also felt worried.

Originally, his life goal was to graduate from the Spirit Hall Academy and be sent to a small city to become the hall master.

Later, after joining Wu Qi and others, his goal changed to achieving good results in the Soul Master Competition, obtaining a title from the Heaven Dou Empire, and becoming a renowned nobleman in the surrounding area.

Now that he has passed the divine test, he naturally wants to accomplish something great.

However, as a member of the Spirit Hall, he did not want to aid and abet evil; but he also could not betray the Spirit Hall in order to achieve his goals.
Wu Qi placed his hands on their shoulders and said with a smile, "If I become the Pope in the future, would you like to serve as the Guardian Douluo of the Papal Palace?"

The two were taken aback at first, but then they realized what was happening.

Qian Gu Chang Kong hurriedly asked, "Brother Wu, did Grandpa Qian keep you here just to talk about this?"

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, his brow relaxed slightly. "With the strength of the God of Destruction, suppressing Bibi Dong is not a problem."

"But now that you've been confirmed as the next Pope, shouldn't Grandpa Qian suppress Bibi Dong even more?"

"Also, I remember meeting Grandpa Qian's granddaughter when I was little. Did Grandpa Qian just so readily hand over the papacy to you?"

Chen Ping seemed to have guessed something, and whispered, "Chang Kong, I think the strength of the God of Destruction is above that of the Angel God inherited by the Spirit Hall."

After the divine trial, I heard some information about the divine realm from Hunter.

Chen Ping may not know what the concept of the Five Great God Kings is, but judging from the literal meaning of "King of Gods," their strength must be considerable.

The angel god, however, is not given the title of "God King," and the comparison of their strengths makes the outcome self-evident.

The vast sky of eternity suddenly seemed to blur.

Who would dare to make the God-King a subordinate?
Therefore, it wouldn't be impossible for Wu Qi to become pope. Moreover, with Bibi Dong as a precedent, it wouldn't be a problem for an "outsider" to become pope.

"Brother Wu, can we really serve as the Guardian Warriors?"

Wu Qi laughed and said, "To become a Guardian Douluo, you should at least have the strength of a Title Douluo, right?"

"Both of you have passed the Divine Test, and the rewards for the subsequent tests will be even more generous, enough to quickly break through your strength."

"But please don't slack off. Level 99 is not your end. You may have the opportunity to break through to a higher level in the future."

"Alright, everyone, rest for two days, then we'll head to Tiandou City as soon as possible."

Because the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan was wiped out and Emperor Snow Night was seriously ill, cities across the continent were under martial law.

Normally, a month would be enough time for them to return to Tiandou City.

But now, if we don't allow ourselves some buffer time, we might not be able to get back in time.

"It's been five years since we last met. I really look forward to reuniting with everyone." Qian Gu Chang Kong said with deep emotion.

...Meanwhile, across the mainland.

The Shrek Academy and Qibao Academy teams, who had initially agreed to a five-year contract, were all on their way back to Tiandou City.

A city located within the Star Luo Empire, adjacent to the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Oscar, are you sure you don't want to go back?"

After leaving Shrek Academy, Oscar, just like in the original timeline, joined the Soul Hunter team for training.

The difference is that in the original timeline, he was seeking an opportunity to become a Battle Soul Master for Ning Rongrong. Now, he has no such intention at all.

As a commoner Soul Master, he had no background. During the original Soul Master Competition, he was specifically named and disqualified from the competition.

With this dark history, most influential forces would find it impossible to win him over.

For Oscar, finding a suitable team of Soul Masters to follow and make money is a good idea.

Surprisingly, the leader of the Soul Hunter Squad he encountered this time was still Haote.

The original members of the Hott team had all perished in the far north. Later, when they arrived in the Star Luo Empire, they happened to meet Oscar.

Although they met later than in the original timeline, their relationship remained close.

Oscar had told us about his background, and with the five-year agreement fast approaching, Hote couldn't help but ask Oscar what he was thinking.

Oscar raised his head slightly and sighed, "Let's forget about it."

Shrek Academy is no longer the Shrek Academy of the past.

Although life was poor when we lived in the village, every day was happy and fulfilling.

Back then, they never overly pursued victory or defeat in spirit battles.

After winning the battle, Dai Mubai treated him and Ma Hongjun to a meal. After losing the match, the two teased each other. In the end, the three of them lay happily on the grass, enjoying the cool evening breeze.

At some point, they started to take the results of the competition very seriously.

Although everyone was happy to win the game, the joy was not as pure as before; there was more confusion in their eyes.

After losing a few matches, everyone started resorting to any means necessary to win the Soul Fighting Competition.

Such actions ultimately led to Ma Hongjun's death, and as a result, the entire academy was expelled.

This academy is no longer Oscar's home, and he doesn't want to go back.

Listening to his story, Haote patted his shoulder and sighed, "If things were still the same as before, you two would be best friends for life."

While Ma Hongjun certainly has many flaws, it is undeniable that he grew up alongside Oscar.

Their relationship goes far beyond what can be simply described as friendship or classmates.

Ma Hongjun was killed by the ruthless Yu Xiaogang, and Dai Mubai also changed his mind due to his desire to win.

For Oscar, the Academy truly no longer had his friends, nor was it his home.

Haote continued, "If you don't want to go back, then don't. From now on, we'll treat each other as family and travel the continent together."

Oscar laughed and said, "Brother Haote, I grew up without parents. Meeting a brother like you is a blessing I've accumulated over several lifetimes."

"If Brother Haote doesn't mind, I'd like to become sworn brothers with you!"

Hao Te put his arm around his shoulder and laughed heartily, "Alright, alright, let's become sworn brothers now. From now on, we'll be brothers even if we don't share the same father." (End of Chapter)
