Douluo Continent: Ning Rongrong? Even a dog wouldn't chase her.

Every time Ning Rongrong opened her mouth, she was met with a slap from Gu Yi.

If Gu Yi hadn't felt that simply letting her die wouldn't be enough to vent his anger, he would have already taken action!

Ning Rongrong was also stubborn. Despite Gu Yi's increasingly heavy slaps and the fact that the same thing happened every time, she still refused to give up until both of her cheeks were so swollen that she could no longer speak.

Tears streamed down her face. She wanted to touch her cheeks with her hands, but dared not, feeling only a burning pain.

Gu Yi stood to the side, coldly watching her. Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind.

"To be honest, I'm starting to not want to kill you anymore."

"I want to throw you into the Empire and let you live alone, penniless, powerless, and without influence. I want to see if you can still be as arrogant as before, now that you're in this situation."

"I also want to see if anyone will still care about you now that you've lost the protection of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

"Have you been a princess long enough? Why don't you experience what it's like to be a commoner?"

Gu Yi now thinks, how interesting would it be if the former 'princess' could also experience what it's like to be bullied by other 'princess's'?

Kill them, you can kill them anytime. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is useless without Sword Bone Douluo.

Now, Ning Rongrong's life or death is entirely in his hands.

Sometimes, death may be a relief, but Gu Yi has no intention of letting her go so easily now.

She's done so much, how can she just die like that?

Thinking of this, a cruel smile flashed across Gu Yi's face. He turned to look at Ning Fengzhi beside him and then snapped his fingers.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Bone Blossoms!"

The next moment, several bone spikes protruded from the ground and attacked Ning Fengzhi at an extremely fast speed.

"Ok?"

Ning Rongrong was shocked and quickly turned her head to look, only to see a giant bone spike piercing through Ning Fengzhi's entire body and lifting him into the air.

It wasn't over yet. A giant skeletal dragon head emerged from the ground and bit Ning Fengzhi's remains in two.

All of this happened right before Ning Rongrong's eyes; she witnessed the entire process of her father's death!

In an instant, she was filled with despair, her heart was breaking, and she wept uncontrollably, her heart filled with resentment and anger towards Gu Yi!

But just then, Gu Yi's voice rang in her ears again.

"Want revenge?"

"Then you should try your best to live on..."

"If you can do it."

Chapter 152: Subjugating the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect

"Thank you for your help, Your Holiness the Pope. I will remember it forever."

"Now please arrange for someone to kick her out of Wuhun City."

Gu Yi smiled and thanked Bibi Dong, then stood behind her.

Bibi Dong glanced at Gu Yi, her heart unmoved. She withdrew her martial spirit, looked up at all the audience members in the hall, and said:

"Today's events were caused by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School breaking the rules first. I hope this will serve as a warning to everyone: never try to break the rules of the competition, or this will be your fate."

"That concludes today's competition. I hope everyone gets some rest and prepares for tomorrow's final!"

After speaking, Bibi Dong turned her gaze back to Ning Rongrong.

"Guards! Clean up the arena and kick this person out of Wuhun City!"

Upon hearing this, several well-dressed knights immediately entered from the entrance of the venue and dragged Ning Rongrong out.

"Alright, Gu Yi, please summon Elder Gu to the council hall. I have something to say."

"As for Elder Chrysanthemum Demon, they are too exhausted and need to rest, so let's leave them alone for now."

"Go."

After saying that, Bibi Dong left the meeting place and walked straight towards the council chamber.

"I understand, Your Holiness the Pope."

Gu Yi agreed, having roughly guessed what Bibi Dong wanted to say.

He didn't go to find Gu Rong immediately. Instead, he nodded to Zhu Zhuqing to indicate that he was alright before disappearing from the arena.

……

The Papal Palace, the council chamber.

Gu Yi and Gu Rong were standing in the center of the hall, waiting for Bibi Dong to speak.

"Elder Gu, you must already know about what happened today, and the reason I called you here is naturally because of this matter."

"Now that Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin have both perished, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is left without anyone to lead it..."

"Elder Gu, do you understand what I mean?"

Bibi Dong asked tentatively.

Upon hearing this, Gu Rong nodded.

"Your Holiness the Pope wants me to take over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, or at least clean it up, is that right?"

How could Gu Rong not understand Bibi Dong's meaning? No one knew better than him how tempting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was.

"That's right!"

"If the soul masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could be used by my Spirit Hall, they would naturally be a very powerful asset."

"Even if they are unwilling, the wealth left behind by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is still a staggering amount."

“Now, the only people I can trust are you. Elder Ju Gui is too exhausted to carry out the mission, and their understanding of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is far less than that of Elder Gu.”

"Therefore, you are the most suitable candidate right now."

Bibi Dong wore an excited smile, and her words were quite clear.

"I understand, Your Holiness. I will soon depart for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to subdue them."

The ancient banyan tree responded.

"That would be wonderful! When Elder Gu returns, I, the Pope, will reward him handsomely!"

Seeing that Gu Rong had agreed, Bibi Dong was even happier and couldn't wait for Gu Rong to set off.

Although it's unlikely, if it were Chen Xin...

News of Ning Fengzhi's death has spread, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School may disappear within a day, to be devoured by various forces.

"Yes, then I shall take my leave, Your Holiness the Pope."

Gu Rong bowed and clasped his hands in greeting, then turned to leave. Gu Yi naturally followed behind him, but was suddenly stopped by Bibi Dong.

"Gu Yi! You stay here for now, I have something to ask you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rong and Gu Yi stopped in their tracks and turned to look at Bibi Dong, asking in confusion, "Is there anything else, Your Holiness?"

"Elder Gu can go ahead and attend to his work. I only need to discuss a few issues with Gu Yi."

Bibi Dong has not forgotten what happened on the stage today, and she still needs Gu Yi to unravel the many doubts in her heart.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi and Gu Rong exchanged a glance.

"Okay, then I'll leave first."

Gu Rong strode out of the council hall, leaving Gu Yi alone.

"What does Your Holiness wish to ask? You may ask now."

Gu Yi had a general idea in mind and some guesses about what Bibi Dong wanted to ask.

"Gu Yi, I'm very curious, what is your second martial soul? Where does it come from? And what are its spirit rings?"

Bibi Dong had never heard that Gu Yi possessed twin martial souls, nor had she ever seen Gu Yi's second martial soul. Coupled with those two crimson-gold soul rings, it was simply unbelievable.

"It seems His Holiness the Pope cares about us quite a bit." Gu Yi chuckled. "My second martial soul comes from my mother and is called the Sacrificial Spirit Death Bell."

"The two spirit rings that His Holiness the Pope saw, I don't know what they are. I have never attached any spirit rings to them. They are the two spirit rings that it was born with."

Faced with Bibi Dong's question, Gu Yi could only make something up. He couldn't very well tell her that he had a system, could he?

This answer should be the best possible one, since the original owner's parents had long since died, and there was no way to find out anything.

Since no one has ever seen these two million-year spirit rings, he can just keep denying it and there's absolutely nothing she can do about it.

This was Gu Yi's thought, and it was indeed the case.

After hearing Gu Yi's statement, Bibi Dong immediately fell silent. She lowered her head and pondered the truthfulness of Gu Yi's words, and from time to time, she would glance at Gu Yi out of the corner of her eye, trying to see what he was thinking.

After a long while, seeing that Gu Yi had not panicked at all, Bibi Dong began to believe him to some extent.

"So what are the effects of your two soul skills?"

"I don't want to investigate you, but rather to use my soul skills to determine the origin of these two soul rings. That way, we can both feel more at ease, right?"

Bibi Dong asked again.

Bibi Dong still remembers the feeling she had at that moment on the arena. She was truly curious about the effects of that soul skill.

"Since His Holiness the Pope wants to know, I will naturally tell you everything I know."

"My first soul skill is called: Death is the end of all life!"

"Its effect is to directly kill all the seriously injured people around me, and it kills them indiscriminately."

"I used this move when I killed Chen Xin before."

"And my second soul skill is called: Great Calamity."

"I have never used this soul skill before, and I don't really know its specific effects. I only know that it is an area-of-effect attack soul skill."

Gu Yi's explanation was very vague; he even only mentioned the name of the second soul skill.

That's exactly what he wanted to do—a mix of truth and falsehood, so that Bibi Dong wouldn't doubt him and it would better reflect the authenticity of his words.

Furthermore, he also hoped that this would increase his favorability in Bibi Dong's eyes, allowing him to take advantage of her even more.
