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

At the referee's signal, both sides immediately began to move!

The moment the battle began, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan immediately stood together, holding hands and releasing their soul power.

"Soul Fusion Skill! Bewitching Charm!"

The next moment, a crimson mist of blood instantly enveloped the entire battlefield, and the three of them vanished from their original positions, leaving only a humanoid figure wielding two blades and completely encased in metal armor.

"Huh? What is this? Poison gas?"

Yu Tianheng was about to rush forward, but was stopped by the sudden appearance of the red mist.

He was surprised to find that he could not see his surroundings at all and could not sense the location of his other teammates.

"I don't know! Everyone be careful! This fog is not simple!"

"Um... ah!"

Suddenly, Dugu Yan's voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Yanzi! Yanzi, what's wrong? Yanzi!"

Yu Tianheng was extremely anxious at this moment. He shouted loudly behind him, but received no response.

At the same time, he found that there seemed to be no sound around him, and his mind was becoming more and more confused.

"Damn it! Surely not?"

"What kind of ghostly technique is this?"

A terrifying thought suddenly popped into Yu Tianheng's mind, but he rejected it in an instant.

But while he was still lost in thought, a long blade suddenly appeared in front of him and swung straight at his neck!

"Ok!"

"The number one soul skill! Thunder Dragon Claw!"

Fortunately, Yu Tianheng reacted quickly and managed to block the attack with his hands in time.

In an instant, sparks flew as the blade struck the dragon scales, leaving a white mark.

Yu Tianheng was also blasted back several meters by this attack!

"That's heavy! A few more hits and I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand this attack!"

Yu Tianheng shook his hands, which had gone numb from the shock, and was utterly astonished.

But in the short time it took for such a thought to even cross his mind, the long blade reappeared from the red mist and slashed straight at Yu Tianheng's face.

Seeing this, Yu Tianheng hurriedly turned to the side, narrowly dodging the attack. But before he could even catch his breath, a long blade appeared on his right side, aiming straight for his shoulder!

"The fourth soul skill, blue lightning dragon disease!"

At this dangerous moment, a blue lightning dragon formed from thunder suddenly appeared and slammed straight into the long blade!

Bang!

The two attacks collided, but something strange happened.

The long blade was actually straight.

Then he cut the Thunder Dragon in half, as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.

And so, the long blade finally came to rest at Yu Tianheng's neck.

"Have you given up?"

Hu Liena's voice came from the humanoid figure and reached Yu Tianheng's ears.

Yu Tianheng looked unwillingly at the long blade resting on his shoulder and could only nod helplessly.

"I surrender."

As his words fell, the red mist on the arena began to gradually dissipate, and Hu Liena and the other two figures reappeared in everyone's sight.

Along with them, the members of the Royal Fighting Team also appeared, lying scattered on the arena.

"Don't worry, they've just fainted, they're fine."

Seeing that Yu Tianheng seemed a little anxious, Hu Liena gently reminded him, and then led Xie Yue and the others back to their own group.

This battle is over; it was a perfect match with their victory as the premise!

"I hereby declare that the ultimate champion of this Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament is the Spirit Hall Academy team!"

Let's all congratulate them!

As the referee's loud shout rang out, a cheer erupted in the hall.

In the stands, all the remaining teams were cheering and clapping loudly, as if they had won.

"Ha~"

"That's pretty fast."

Gu Yi chuckled softly, slowly stood up from his seat, walked to the middle of the line, and enjoyed the cheers of the moment.

Next, just like in the original story, an award ceremony was held, and three soul bones were distributed.

Among them, the left leg bone of the Swift Wind was obtained by Gu Yi and given to Zhu Zhuqing, the right arm of the Exploding Flame naturally belonged to Yan, and the skull of the Spirit Condensation Wisdom went to Hu Liena.

The Elite Advanced Soul Master Tournament has now come to an end!

The following morning, at the Papal Palace.

Today is an important day. Apart from the Elders' Hall, all the other figures in Wuhun City have gathered in the council hall.

This included all the cardinals and platinum bishops who were currently free, as well as Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, Gu Rong, Gu Yi, and Hu Liena.

Bibi Dong sat high in the main seat, smiling as she surveyed the crowd below, and began to speak:

"I'm sure you've all guessed the reason I've summoned you all here today."

"That's right, it's about the succession to the position of Holy Son!"

"As we agreed before, the position of the Holy Son will be inherited by the person who performs best in this competition, and now, I already have someone in mind."

"You've probably all guessed it, haven't you?"

As soon as he said this, almost everyone's eyes turned to Gu Yi.

Hu Liena was now convinced that the position of Holy Son definitely belonged to Gu Yi.

She was no match for Gu Yi, a fact she had realized a month ago.

She has now let go of her resentment. She believes that if the Spirit Hall could be handed over to Gu Yi, it would likely develop even better than if she had done so herself.

"Alright, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Now, I will announce the candidate for the position of Holy Son!"

"Holy Son—Gu Yi!"

Upon hearing this, no one present was surprised at all; clearly, this outcome was inevitable!

But Bibi Dong hadn't finished speaking yet!

"The Saintess—Huliena!"

"This Pope has decided to establish the positions of both Son and Daughter, who shall enjoy the same status and rights."

"Furthermore, in the future, the papacy will be held by one of them, while the other will assume a different responsibility."

Bibi Dong had already decided that the position of Pope could be given to Gu Yi, while the Martial Soul Empire she had built could be handed over to Hu Liena.

All of this will happen after she becomes a god, rules the entire continent, and annihilates the angel race.

"Nana, Gu Yi, after your coronation ceremony, Elder Ju will take you to the City of Slaughter to participate in the trial."

I will inform you of the details of the trial later.

"Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi and Hu Liena exchanged a glance, then answered in unison:

"Understood!"

Chapter 156 The Second Transaction

"Alright, that's all for today's announcements. You may all leave now."

"Gu Yi, Hu Liena, Elder Ju, please stay."

After announcing that everything was completed, Bibi Dong dismissed the rest of the people.

Only four people remained in the entire council hall at that moment.

"The goal I've set for your trial is simple: win the annual championship of the City of Slaughter, enter the Path of Hell, and obtain the Domain of the God of Slaughter."

"Domain skills can greatly enhance your combat abilities. In a battle between two Soul Masters of the same level, the Soul Master with a domain will definitely have the upper hand."

"Once you arrive in the Killing City, everyone around you may be an enemy; only you and the other side will be your allies."

"Once you obtain the God of Slaughter Domain, I will send Elder Ju to bring you back."

"do you understand?"

Bibi Dong explained it very clearly and in a simple and easy-to-understand way, which is similar to what Tang Hao and Tang San said in the original work.

"Understood!"

Hu Liena responded.

“I understand, but before I leave, I’d like to have a little more time. I have something I want to talk to Grandpa about.”

Gu Yi had to explain everything clearly before leaving; otherwise, if problems arose, it would be troublesome.

"I approve. If you have nothing else to do, then go and make your preparations."

"You can discuss anything with Elder Ju."

Bibi Dong didn't care, and she didn't care what Gu Yi wanted to say to Gu Rong.

"In that case, I shall take my leave."

After saying that, Gu Yi turned and left, quickly chasing after Gu Rong's residence.

"We'll be waiting for you at the entrance of the Papal Palace, Gu Yi!"
