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

Bibi Dong gave Gu Yi a deep look and said something meaningful.

"This is not my achievement alone; it's just good luck."

"Moreover, Elder Dugu is wrong. Since we are carrying out the mission together, we are naturally one entity, so there is no need to distinguish between you and me."

"If His Holiness the Pope insists on awarding prizes, then it is best to do so all at once and equally."

Gu Yi did not want to be too flamboyant, as attracting attention might arouse hatred from others.

"Well said, then everyone should go back and rest."

"Tomorrow, I will certainly give you all the rewards you deserve."

"Yes."

……

The next morning.

The Papal Palace, the council chamber.

"I was still worrying yesterday about what kind of reward would be worthy of everyone's help."

"Today, I received good news: the Heaven Dou Empire now belongs to our Spirit Hall."

"I can guarantee that, once the Heaven Dou Empire is completely under our control, your status will be second only to mine!"

May you enjoy eternal wealth and honor! May you be revered by thousands!

As she spoke, Bibi Dong stood up, raised her hands above her head, and looked excited.

"is this real?"

"The Heaven Dou Empire actually... Does that mean from now on, there will only be our Spirit Empire and the Star Luo Empire?"

Chrysanthemum Demon Douluo immediately exploded, completely stunned.

Even Gu Yi and the others pretended to be incredulous in order not to give themselves away.

"That's right, the Heaven Dou Empire no longer exists. In fact, in the future, I want only my Martial Soul Empire to exist on this continent!"

"During this time, everyone should rest and recuperate, and cultivate diligently. When the time is right, we will march our troops towards the Star Luo Empire!"

Bibi Dong has nothing else to do now; she just needs to wait for the divine test to end so she can ascend to godhood!

"Yes."

Everyone responded in unison, but after the others left, Gu Yi stayed behind.

"Gu Yi, is there anything else you want to say?"

Bibi Dong looked at Gu Yi in the hall and asked him.

"Yes, Your Holiness, I would like to know if there are any places nowadays where evil people gather?"

"My divine test requires me to kill one..."

"Ten thousand people, so I want to find a place, outside of the killing city, where villains gather."

Gu Yi made no attempt to hide his thoughts and immediately voiced them.

"Hehe~ I see. Well, of course we have that."

"Gu Yi, have you forgotten?"

"Whether it's my Spirit Hall or Heaven Dou City, both have dungeons specifically built for criminals."

“They are all extremely wicked people. If you need, I can take you there now.”

"However, the quantity may be insufficient, so you will probably need to go to Tiandou City again."

Bibi Dong smiled and offered a reminder.

Gu Yi was also suddenly awakened from his dream. Indeed, he seemed to have never thought that there was such a thing as a dungeon in this world.

This point is not mentioned at all in the original work, and Gu Yi has no idea what methods they can use to trap those prisoners.

"Thank you for the reminder, Your Holiness. Please lead the way."

"However, there is still one thing I don't understand: how exactly did this dungeon trap those Soul Masters?"

This is the point that Gu Yi finds most incomprehensible.

There are so many Soul Masters, each with different strengths and different Martial Souls.

There are no tools in this world that can restrict martial spirits, so how exactly were they trapped?

"Hehe~ Actually, there's no need to trap them. They won't dare to escape or rebel."

"After all, they knew that staying in the dungeon might offer a glimmer of hope, but if they dared to escape, they would surely die!"

“The dungeon exit is heavily guarded, and there is even a titled Douluo from the Elder Hall standing guard nearby, so they naturally dare not make any rash moves.”

Bibi Dong led the way while explaining.

"I see. So the same applies to the Heavenly Dou Empire?"

Gu Yi nodded and muttered to himself.

"Of course, otherwise, how would they control such a large number of prisoners?"

"Alright, we've arrived. This is the place."

Bibi Dong led Gu Yi through one wall after another, finally stopping in front of the entrance to a tunnel.

"Below this is the dungeon of my Spirit Hall, which holds about six thousand Spirit Master prisoners, almost filling all the cells in my Spirit Hall."

"But this is good, at least we can finally clear some empty spaces."

"Go on your way, I'll wait for you here."

Bibi Dong didn't want to go down to such a dirty and messy place, so she chose to wait for Gu Yi up there.

"Heh~ No need, Your Holiness, I don't particularly want to go down, staying here is fine."

Gu Yi chuckled and then summoned his Bone Dragon Martial Soul.

"Eighth Soul Skill! Spatial Mastery!"

As the blood-red soul ring beneath Gu Yi's feet lit up, a terrifying surge of soul power erupted from Gu Yi's body, continuously flowing into the dungeon.

Gu Yi's eighth soul skill is very simple: it is to tamper with the space within the range covered by soul power.

The greater the soul power output, the wider the range of his soul skill.

By the time Gu Yi's soul power completely covered the dungeon, his soul power was almost depleted.

"Crush it!"

Gu Yi clenched his fist suddenly.

Immediately, the number on the test changed to 6135/10000.

On the surface, Bibi Dong didn't seem to feel anything; she couldn't understand what Gu Yi had just done.

"Phew! Alright, Your Holiness, we can go now."

"By the way, I'm sorry, but I may have to trouble you to rebuild the dungeon."

Gu Yi let out a deep breath, seemingly somewhat tired.

But what he said left Bibi Dong somewhat bewildered.

Alright? That's it? Did Gu Yi do anything just now? What exactly is his soul skill?

With that in mind, Bibi Dong probed her spiritual power into the ground, wanting to know what the state of the dungeon below was.

But it would have been better if we hadn't investigated. Once we did, we discovered that there was absolutely nothing under our feet!

Not only have the sinners disappeared, but even the prisons they built have vanished!

It was as if they had all evaporated on the spot!

"What... what kind of soul skill is this?!"

Chapter 188 The Fifth Divine Test: Tempering the Body with Killing Intent

"I don't know how to explain this soul skill to you. It has many variations, and this is just the simplest one."

Faced with Bibi Dong's question, Gu Yi could only offer this explanation.

If he really analyzes this thoroughly for her, how will he deal with her afterwards?

"In that case, let's just forget about it. I see that you've consumed quite a bit of your soul power. You should go back and rest first."

Seeing that Gu Yi refused to speak, Bibi Dong did not force him, but she felt a little uneasy.

"Yes, His Majesty the Pope."

Gu Yi responded, then spread his bone wings and quickly disappeared in front of Bibi Dong.

He had already finished what he needed to do, but he never expected that he would still have to go back to Tiandou City in the end.

I wonder if there are enough prisoners over there?

Perhaps we'll have to make a trip to the Star Luo Empire and check out their dungeons.

Next, Gu Yi went straight back to Gu Rong's residence, as he had consumed far too much of his soul power today.

We must hurry to recover our soul power before we can head to Heaven Dou City.

And once he recovered, he meditated until the afternoon.

"Grandpa, you'd better keep an eye on the area around the mansion lately. I feel like Bibi Dong's gaze towards me today seemed a little off."

"The trust has turned into vigilance."

"I'm afraid she might take advantage of my absence to do something to you, so you have to be careful."

"I don't want things to go wrong at this last minute, or for things to fall apart."

Before leaving, Gu Yi specifically sought out Gu Rong and gave her a reminder.

"Okay, don't worry, I will use my mental power to sense my surroundings at all times. If the situation you described really happens, I will notify you immediately."

Gu Rong responded, fully aware of the seriousness of the matter.
