Douluo Continent: Now that everyone's been reborn, who's still going to be a simp?

"No matter what, I will protect you, even if it costs me my life, I will not let anyone hurt you."

"Brother, it's great to have you."

Xiao Wu was deeply moved and buried her face in Tang San's arms.

~~~~~~

The sun rises in the east.

Today, the final three finalists of the Soul Master Competition will clash in the square in front of the Papal Palace.

Pope Bibidon and a group of elders will watch the battle together.

Chapter 81. A Tailor-Made Soul Bone

1.

The morning sun pierced through the clouds, and golden rays fell like fine threads onto the earth.

Bathed in sunlight, the Papal Palace shines even brighter, like a dazzling pearl standing atop the mountain, appearing solemn and majestic.

Before the Papal Palace, two rows of paladin knights, clad in gleaming silver armor, stood in neat rows. The heavy swords in their hands reflected a sharp glint in the sunlight, as if they were ready to fight for their faith and glory at any moment.

The presence of these Paladin Knights filled the entire Papal Hill with an atmosphere of solemnity and majesty.

Early in the morning, the three teams that had made it to the final three were already on the square in front of the Papal Palace.

At this moment, they stood quietly in the square, ready to meet the challenge.

The teachers from the three colleges were also waiting outside the square.

Seeing their students standing in the square, they were filled with pride and anticipation.

The final match is not only a contest of strength, but also a battle for honor and dignity.

Teams that are eliminated are not eligible to come to this venue to watch the game.

With Pope Bibi Dong's permission, the captains and vice-captains of Tianshui Academy, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu, as well as the captains and vice-captains of Chihuo Academy, Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, appeared on the outskirts of the square.

The four of them stood together with the teachers of the Kamikaze Academy team.

Everyone stood silently in the square, waiting for the final moment to arrive.

A moment later, a group of people came out from the side door of the Papal Palace, walked to the front of the Papal Palace, and stood on the left and right, six people on each side.

These twelve people were all dressed in red robes; they were cardinals, whose status in the Papal Palace was second only to the platinum bishops.

The leading cardinal shouted:

"His Holiness the Pope has arrived."

"Long live, long live, long live!"

The powerful shouts resounded throughout the entire Papal Hill.

The massive and imposing doors of the Papal Palace slowly opened, drawing everyone's attention.

Bibi Dong finally appeared.

She wore a long, shimmering gold gown, a purple-gold crown, and held a golden scepter. Her face was solemn, and her entire being exuded the majesty of a pope.

Upon seeing this, all the members of the Spirit Hall knelt on one knee.

"See His Majesty the Pope."

Bibi Dong slowly walked towards the crowd.

Behind her were four other people: Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, Sword Douluo Jian Dao Chen Xin, and Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Those who can walk out of the main gate of the Papal Palace are definitely not ordinary people.

Although Ning Fengzhi did not reach the level of a Title Douluo, he had a special identity as an honorary elder of the Spirit Hall.

Upon seeing Bibi Dong, the Shrek Seven Devils did not kneel, which made them stand out in the crowd.

Bibi Dong's gaze fell directly on the seven people.

The cardinals and paladins glared at the Shrek Seven Devils, wondering where they got the audacity.

"How dare you disrespect His Holiness the Pope!"

Bibi Dong remained calm, and with a slight raise of her hand, the cardinal who had spoken immediately fell silent, his face filled with awe.

Bibi Dong's gaze finally settled on Tang San, and she smiled slightly:

"Are you Tang San, the disciple of the Grandmaster?"

Tang San paused for a moment, then replied neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"Yes, Your Holiness."

Bibi Dong nodded.

"Not bad. You do indeed have some of your teacher's spirit from back then."

"I am not talented enough to compare with you, teacher."

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and the others from the Divine Wind Academy team were somewhat surprised. They didn't expect the Pope to speak directly to Tang San, as if he had known Tang San's teacher, Yu Xiaogang, for a long time.

Bibi Dong's gaze did not linger on Tang San for long; she gently waved the scepter in her hand.

"Be flat."

Everyone stood up.

Then, Bibi Dong's gaze swept over the twenty-one young soul masters participating in the finals, and she smiled:

"You are all the best in this Soul Master Competition, and I see hope in you. Next, I hope to see you display your full talent and strength. The final winner will receive a generous reward from the Spirit Hall."

After Bibi Dong finished speaking, she gently waved her scepter, and three points of light instantly magnified in front of her, floating in mid-air.

Those were three soul bones that shimmered with different colors.

A bright red right arm bone, a pale blue skull, and a dark green left leg bone.

The light emanating from the soul bones reveals their extraordinary quality.

"These three soul bones are the Wisdom Skull of Spiritual Condensation, the Right Arm Bone of Explosive Burning Flames, and the Left Leg Bone of Extreme Speed ​​Chasing Wind. All of them came from soul beasts with cultivation of over ten thousand years. Among them, this Spiritual Skull came from a soul beast that was over fifty thousand years old. It was obtained by the former Pope himself in killing the soul beast, and it is the best of the best among soul bones."

After hearing Elder Ghost's explanation, everyone was shocked.

Each piece of soul bone is hard-won, extremely precious, and priceless.

Many Soul Masters spend their entire lives without ever obtaining a Soul Bone.

Bibi Dong took out three soul bones at once, which shows how much she values ​​this Soul Master Competition.

On the surface, all the Soul Masters participating in the finals are competitors for these three Soul Bones.

But anyone with eyes can see that these three precious soul bones were prepared for the three young soul masters who would receive the Purple Record Medal from the Spirit Hall.

Hu Liena was Bibi Dong's beloved disciple and a control-type Soul Master, so that spiritual skull was undoubtedly tailor-made for her.

The right arm bone of the Blazing Flame is a perfect match for a fire-attribute soul master, so it naturally belongs to Yan.

The Rapid Left Leg Bone technique would further enhance Xie Yue's speed; it was prepared specifically for him.

Even so, Tang San still wanted to fight for it. As a control-type Soul Master, if he could obtain that Spirit Bone, he could greatly enhance his spiritual power and help his Purple Demon Eye reach a higher level.

Seeing everyone's anticipation, Bibi Dong calmly said:

"These three soul bones will belong to the final champion team. There can only be one winner, so I hope you will all give it your all and win this honor. The individual competition is about to begin, and you can draw lots now."

"Your Holiness, please wait a moment."

Yu Xiaogang suddenly interrupted.

Bibi Dong looked calmly at Yu Xiaogang.

"Master, do you have any objections?"

Yu Xiaogang said calmly:

Shrek Academy has forfeited the individual competition and voluntarily entered the loser's bracket final this afternoon.

Yu Xiaogang's decision shocked everyone.

Bibi Dong remained calm, seemingly understanding Yu Xiaogang's thoughts.

"Then so be it. After you forfeit, Shrek Academy will automatically enter the losers' bracket."

As soon as Bibi Dong finished speaking, the teacher in charge of the team from Shenfeng Academy also stepped forward.

"Your Holiness, Kamikaze Academy has also forfeited the individual competition and will automatically enter the loser's bracket final."

Bibi Dong smiled slightly.

As a result, Spirit Hall Academy will directly advance to tomorrow's championship final.

"Alright. Then Shenfeng Academy and Shrek Academy will compete in the loser's bracket this afternoon to determine the final spot."

According to the rules of the Soul Master Competition, the three teams will first compete in individual elimination rounds this morning, and the team with the best performance will directly enter the championship finals tomorrow.
