Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 165 Qian Renxue: Am I a free angel?

Another day passed, and finally the fifth round of the finals arrived.

The final round of the competition differed from the first four rounds, including both individual and team competitions.

First, individual competitions are held to divide the teams into winners' and losers' brackets. Then, the losers' bracket teams compete, and finally, the two winning teams face off in a final showdown.

However, in terms of team strength, the Royal Fighting Team and the Spirit Hall Team completely overwhelm the Thunder Academy Team.

Luck played a large part in the reason why the Thunder Academy team was able to enter the top three.

Although luck is also a part of strength, Thunder Academy knew very well that they could not compete with the other two teams, and in order to save time, they had already chosen to concede yesterday.

Therefore, the originally complicated competition format suddenly became simple, and only one more match was needed to determine the champion.

Early that morning, Lin Mu led the Royal Fighting Team to the finals venue.

Unlike previous matches, this final was held in front of the Papal Palace, which served as a demonstration of the Spirit Hall's authority.

Before long, the group arrived at the square in front of the Papal Palace.

Before they arrived, the Spirit Hall team led by Yu Xiaogang had been waiting for a long time.

"Lin Mu, you will surely be defeated by me today."

After a pause, Yu Xiaogang put his hands behind his back, struck a pose of superiority, and said arrogantly, "Let the world see that even the most outstanding soul master genius is nothing more than a brute in front of me, Yu Xiaogang."

Upon hearing this, not only were the members of the Royal Fighting Team stunned, but even Xie Yue and the others looked at Yu Xiaogang in disbelief.

Does the outcome of this match have anything to do with this guy?
What's more, the competition hadn't even started yet, and this guy was already taking all the credit for himself.

They had never seen such a shameless person before, and they couldn't understand why His Holiness the Pope would be so fond of such a person.

"How dare you make such a fool of yourself here!"

Before he finished speaking, Yu Tianheng had already rushed over and kicked Yu Xiaogang in the stomach, sending him flying several meters before he crashed heavily to the ground.

"puff--"

Having suffered such a heavy blow and lost all his cultivation, Yu Xiaogang coughed up a mouthful of blood and stared at Yu Tianheng in disbelief.

At the same time, his desire to destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family grew stronger.

Rather than letting Yu Tianheng inherit the position of clan leader and lead the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan to decline, it would be better for him to destroy it with his own hands.

"Teacher, how are you?"

At this moment, Ma Hongjun hurriedly helped Yu Xiaogang up, looked up at Yu Tianheng, and said angrily, "Yu Tianheng! My teacher never provoked you, yet you dared to use such a cruel method. Do you really think we, master and disciple, are easy to bully?"

"Whatever you think."

Yu Tianheng shrugged dismissively. If Yu Xiaogang hadn't made such a fool of himself, he wouldn't have bothered to do it.

After this match ends, he will try to find a way to bring this traitor who has brought shame to the family back to his grandfather for him to deal with.

"You bastard! I'll never let you get away with this during the match!"

Seeing Yu Tianheng's attitude, Ma Hongjun's eyes turned bloodshot, he started panting heavily, and his voice became noticeably high-pitched.

Yu Tianheng's eyes flickered slightly at this, and he said sarcastically, "You and your master are truly a match made in heaven."

"What did you say!"

Just as Ma Hongjun was about to lose his temper, there was a commotion in front of the square, and twelve cardinals walked out from the side of the Papal Palace.

They walked all the way to the entrance of the Papal Palace and stood on either side, six people on each side.

The leader shouted, "His Holiness the Pope has arrived!" "Long live the Pope! Long live the Pope! Long live the Pope!"

Three loud shouts echoed throughout Wuhun City like a landslide and tsunami.

This voice gathered the shouts of most of the Soul Masters in Wuhun City; for them, the Pope was the highest faith.

At this moment, Ma Hongjun dared not say anything more and quickly led Yu Xiaogang back to the queue.

Not long after, Bibi Dong emerged from the Papal Palace, dressed in a long, shimmering gold gown from head to toe, wearing a purple-gold crown and holding a jeweled scepter.

The moment she appeared, all the Soul Masters of the Spirit Hall knelt on one knee.

However, Lin Mu's Royal Fighting Team stood upright, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

On the high platform, Bibi Dong gazed down at the scene below, her eyes quickly landing on Lin Mu.

In just a moment, she withdrew her gaze and turned to look at the members of the two teams.

"I see hope in you. Before the Papal Palace, I hope to see all your talents and strength. The ultimate victor will receive the Spirit Hall's greatest reward."

As soon as she finished speaking, she waved her scepter lightly, and the three points of light instantly magnified, floating in mid-air.

Those were three different things, none of them large, shaped like skeletons: a right arm bone, a skull, and a left leg bone.

It flashed with three colors of light: fiery red, light blue, and dark green.

These are three pieces of ten-thousand-year-old soul bones!

Even for a Title Douluo, it is an extremely rare treasure, after all, Chrysanthemum Douluo doesn't even have a single ten-thousand-year soul bone.

However, Lin Mu didn't take it seriously. Not to mention that he already had two 100,000-year soul bones, the three 10,000-year soul bones he hadn't absorbed were worth more than the three soul bones that the Spirit Hall had offered.

Of these three soul bones, only the Spiritual Wisdom Skull is of good quality; the other two are only average.

Clearly, Bibi Dong harbored selfish motives, wanting to use this to benefit her disciple. A skull with wisdom over 50,000 years old could greatly enhance Hu Liena's strength.

At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo, who was protecting Bibi Dong, had a cold glint in his eyes and thought to himself, "Bibi Dong, someone like you will be abandoned by everyone sooner or later."

After a speech, Bibi Dong finally announced the start of the competition.

At this moment, Lin Mu had already arrived at the viewing area.

"Brother Lin, I knew you guys would make it to the finals. Do you have confidence in winning the championship?"

Xue Qinghe quickly came over and started chatting with Lin Mu familiarly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu glanced at her and said meaningfully, "His Highness the Crown Prince has visited the Royal Fighting Team's training sessions quite a bit, and even talked with me until late at night. How could you not know the strength of our team?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe gave a forced smile. If her grandfather hadn't told her that she had been exposed, she would still be completely unaware of the truth.

That bastard knew her identity perfectly well, yet he took advantage of it to toy with her body and soul at will. He's utterly despicable!
Despite her intelligence in remaining undetected for so many years undercover, she was completely outmaneuvered by Lin Mu, even reaching the pinnacle with him multiple times, and was tormented into unconsciousness several times.

"Hmph, you have the nerve to say that? You've been deceiving me for so long, how are we going to settle this score?"

"When have I ever lied to you? Besides, you came to me of your own accord."

Lin Mu said in a calm tone.

Seeing how self-righteous this guy was, Qian Renxue was immediately furious.

Doesn't that mean she came to our door for free?
Thinking of this, Qian Renxue immediately grabbed Lin Mu's sleeve and pulled him away from the viewing area.

Not far away, Ning Fengzhi noticed the two's actions and frowned, thinking to himself, "Is Lin Mu really that close to His Highness the Crown Prince?"
