Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 190, Page 209: Zhao Wuji, Drenched in Sweat
Let's shift our focus to the other side.

After Xiao Wu went missing, Tang San immediately chased after her. On the way, he encountered the Human-Faced Demon Spider. After Tang San crippled the Human-Faced Demon Spider, the Dragon Duke, Snake Granny, Meng Yiran and her group, as well as the Shrek Seven Devils, all arrived at the scene.

The Shrek Three heroes saw the Man-Faced Spider lying nearby, its limbs severed and barely alive, and thought to themselves: Just as expected, we've encountered this Man-Faced Spider again.

They couldn't help but envy Tang San's incredible luck. In their previous lives, this feeling was limited to envy, but after Xiao Wu came into their lives, this envy slowly turned into jealousy.

Although they were somewhat displeased, they had no intention of stopping Tang San from absorbing the spirit ring. After all, they still needed Tang San to become gods in their lifetime.

With both the Dragon God and the Snake Goddess present, Tang San managed to obtain the right to use the Human-Faced Demon Spider from Meng Yiran through a bet.

Tang San walked up to the human-faced demon spider and killed it. A purple spirit ring appeared on the spider's corpse, and Tang San attracted and absorbed the spirit ring.

As the Dragon God and Snake Goddess were about to leave, a greeting came from deep within the forest: "I never expected to meet the world-famous Dragon God and Snake Goddess here."

A stunningly beautiful woman with long, wine-red hair slowly emerged from the depths of the forest.

The Shrek Academy members didn't recognize the woman at first glance (the Bibi Dong in front of them had wine-red hair, not the purple they remembered from Shrek Academy, and her face didn't resemble the sharp look of her previous life).
Suddenly, Oscar covered his mouth: "This is... Pope Bibi Dong."

"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope." The Dragon God and Snake Goddess bowed to Bibi Dong, confirming Oscar's suspicions.

Shrek immediately broke out in a sweat.

Zhao Wuji was drenched in sweat, not because of Tang San, but because of what he had done in the past. He cautiously greeted Bibi Dong and then looked at her carefully. She didn't seem to realize that he was a wanted criminal of the Spirit Hall. Thinking of this, Zhao Wuji breathed a sigh of relief.

But while he breathed a sigh of relief, the other three Shrek heroes couldn't. They had just left the beginner village and had already encountered a big boss. What the hell was going on?

In particular, Tang San will soon acquire an external soul bone.

This external soul bone must be obtained for a period of time before it fully integrates with the body; a newly obtained external soul bone can be taken away.

Bibi Dong and the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny only had a brief conversation. Time ticked by, and the Shrek Three could only pray in their hearts that Bibi Dong would leave quickly. (Although they had developed a grudge against Tang San because of Xiao Wu, their fundamental desire to cling to Tang San and thus achieve godhood remained unchanged.)
But Bibi Dong didn't do as they wanted. She suddenly turned her curious gaze to Tang San, who was absorbing the soul ring.

At this moment, Tang San was unaware of the changes happening outside, and was focused on fighting against the resentment of the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

"Are you a teacher at Shrek Academy?" Bibi Dong asked.

"Yes, Your Holiness, may I ask what brings you here?" Zhao Wuji quickly replied humbly.

Bibi Dong pointed to the corpse of the human-faced demon spider and said, "This human-faced demon spider is not the 1500-year-old one you think it is. It is over 2000 years old. Has it made preparations for absorbing the spirit ring produced by this spirit beast?" Upon hearing Bibi Dong's question, the expressions of both groups changed. The Dragon Duke and Snake Granny breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that Tang San had intercepted the spirit ring that exceeded the age limit, which had saved Meng Yiran's life.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji broke out in a cold sweat. He said, "A two-thousand-year limit? Your Holiness the Pope, are you joking?"

"Do you think I need to joke with you?" Bibi Dong retorted.

Zhao Wuji's face turned ashen. Tang San had absorbed a soul ring from a two-thousand-year-old soul beast, which could very well lead to an accident and his self-destruction.

If it were those Mudblood Soul Masters from the past who died, they would simply be dead. Zhao Wuji could easily strike back without hesitation against their families causing trouble. But Tang San is not a descendant of Mudbloods; he is the son of the legendary Tian Tian Douluo.

Tang Hao, the "Sun-Dwelling Douluo," was infamous throughout the continent, his evil deeds so numerous that almost everyone despised him. Yet, no one dared underestimate his combat power. Before becoming a Title Douluo, killing Title Douluos was as easy as slaughtering pigs and dogs (although most of his victims were his own people, Tang Hao still used the blood of the Clear Sky Sect to demonstrate his power). If Tang Hao knew that his negligence had led to Tang San's death, wouldn't he be utterly humiliated?

"You Shrek Academy, which claims to train monsters, how come you don't even know the basic lifespan of a soul beast?" Bibi Dong shook her head and turned to walk deeper into the forest.

The three Shrek heroes behind them breathed a sigh of relief. Bibi Dong was leaving, and it was best that she left.

Suddenly, with a thud, Zhao Wuji knelt down in front of Bibi Dong's departing figure.

Bibi Dong didn't turn around, but her back stopped: "What are you doing?"

Zhao Wuji pleaded, "Your Holiness, I beg you to protect Tang San." He was pleading for Tang San, but at the same time, he was also begging for his own life. If Tang San died here, then he would also die.

Upon hearing this, the three Shrek heroes behind Zhao Wuji were stunned. No, Teacher Zhao Wuji, Bibi Dong, that plague goddess, is already leaving. Why are you still asking her to stay?

"Why should I help you?" Bibi Dong questioned.

"Your Holiness, Tang San has cultivated to such a level with only one Blue Silver Grass, which is truly a genius. If he were to perish here, wouldn't that be a loss to the Soul Master world? Furthermore, the Spirit Hall is the holy land of Soul Masters, and you are the Pope of the Spirit Hall. Can you really just stand by and watch a rising genius fall like this?" Zhao Wuji began with a moral blackmail.

Bibi Dong used her soul power to create a spider web, weaving a papal chair in front of her. She turned around, looked at Zhao Wuji, and said, "Since you've said so, then this pope will protect this brat as you wish. I want to see what value he has that makes this pope protect him."

"No, no, please!" the Shrek Three thought to themselves.

However, the matter was already settled. Bibi Dong stayed behind, and the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny also stayed behind out of curiosity. They wanted to see what would happen after Tang San absorbed this transcendent spirit ring.
