Douluo Continent: I am the Ice Archer, my ice power is invincible.

Chapter 188 The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King

Then, Bibi Dong turned to Yu Xiaogang, who was waiting quietly to the side, and announced:

"Yu Xiaogang possesses exceptional wisdom and a profound understanding of spirit theory, earning him the reputation as a theoretical master in the spirit master world. From today onwards, he is appointed as the chief elder of the new spirit hall, and together with me, he will lead the future of the new spirit hall."

This move shocked everyone present.

Yu Xiaogang's strength is not great, but his research and insights into martial spirits are unmatched.

This was Bibi Dong's personal decision, and no one dared to object.

"Next, I have an important announcement to make."

"Huliena, come forward."

As Bibi Dong finished speaking, the entire square fell into a brief silence once again.

All eyes were on Hu Liena, who was standing next to her.

Hu Liena wore an exquisite outfit, the golden patterns shimmering in the sunlight.

"Hu Liena, you have displayed extraordinary talent and wisdom since childhood, and your loyalty to the Spirit Hall is impeccable. Today, I hereby appoint you as the Holy Maiden of the new Spirit Hall, and you will shoulder even greater responsibilities from now on."

Hu Liena knelt on one knee, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and bowed her head respectfully in response:

"Thank you for your trust and guidance, Your Holiness. Hu Liena will do her utmost to live up to your expectations."

Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction, then glanced at the representatives of the seven major sects below the stage, and spoke again:

"Sect Master of the Holy Dragon Sect, Sect Master of the Elephant Armor Sect, Sect Master of the Black Tiger Sect, Sect Master of the Wind Sword Sect, Sect Master of the Fire Leopard Sect, Sect Master of the Rock Antelope Sect, and Sect Master of the Sparrow Bee Sect, you each lead powerful sects and are loyal to me. Today, I hereby appoint you as Elders of the New Spirit Hall. May we join hands and move forward together to create a bright future for the New Spirit Hall."

"Thank you, Your Holiness the Pope!"

The seven sect leaders stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and accepted the investiture.

As the investiture ceremony concluded, unprecedented cheers erupted in the square as Soul Masters raised their arms and shouted in celebration of the establishment of the new Spirit Hall.

From that day on, a new Spirit Hall, headed by Bibi Dong, appeared on the Douluo Continent.

This immense force has the potential to reshape the landscape of the Douluo Continent.

The news of the establishment of the new Spirit Hall quickly spread throughout the Spirit Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

Xiao Han and Qian Renxue soon received the news as well.

The two discussed their next course of action.

Qian Renxue frowned, both angry and worried.

"That damned Bibi Dong! She actually named her faction the New Spirit Hall and used the name of the Spirit Hall to recruit Spirit Masters on a large scale. She's shameless! The establishment of the New Spirit Hall will undoubtedly pose a huge obstacle to our plan to conquer the Star Luo Empire."

Xiao Han appeared quite calm, as if everything was within his expectations.

Bibi Dong cares too much about Yu Xiaogang; she's capable of doing anything crazy for him.

"Indeed, Bibi Dong's move was brilliant, giving the Star Luo Empire a chance to breathe. Most of the forces that originally supported her are now in the Star Luo Empire; they're truly a den of snakes and rats."

"So, what do you think we should do next?"

Xiao Han thought for a moment and analyzed carefully:

"I believe that the priority now is not to launch a rash attack, but to consolidate the territory we have already occupied."

As the saying goes: He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.

Those three cities were, after all, seized from the Star Luo Empire. We need to appease the people, implement benevolent policies, and let them feel the tolerance and care of the Martial Soul Empire.

Let everyone in the world know that the Spirit Hall unified the entire Douluo Continent in order to realize the vision of peace and a better future.

Only in this way can we truly achieve victory without fighting and make the people of the Star Luo Empire willingly submit.

After hearing Xiao Han's words, a hint of approval flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes:

"This plan is brilliant. In this way, we can not only consolidate our existing territory, but also gradually weaken the morale of the Star Luo Empire, laying the foundation for future unification."

"That's right. Moreover, Bibi Dong has just established a new Spirit Hall, which will inevitably cause turmoil within the Spirit Hall. Let's stabilize the situation first."

"Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking too."

Xiao Han continued:

"My soul power is about to break through level ninety. After I obtain my ninth soul ring, it won't be too late to help you destroy Bibi Dong's forces."

"Good. I really didn't expect you to advance to the Title Douluo level so quickly. Your seventh and eighth spirit rings have both reached the 100,000-year level, so your ninth spirit ring must be at least 100,000 years old, right?"

"Um."

Qian Renxue then asked:

"A 100,000-year-old soul beast isn't easy to find. Where do you plan to hunt soul beasts then? The Star Dou Great Forest or the Frozen Forest?"

Xiao Han shook his head.

"Let's not go to those two forests, let's go to the waters around Poseidon Island."

With his upcoming ninth spirit ring in mind, Xiao Han already had a clear target in mind: the million-year-old Deep Sea Demon Whale King in the ocean.

It's a good opportunity to visit Shui Bing'er and the others.

What kind of place is Poseidon Island?

Qian Renxue looked at Xiao Han with a puzzled expression.

"That is a mysterious sea area. There are many Title Douluo-level powerhouses on the island, as well as a peerless Douluo who is as famous as your grandfather."

Afterwards, Xiao Han gave Qian Renxue a brief description of Seagod Island and told her that Bingbing'er and the others were training on Seagod Island.

Qian Renxue was greatly surprised.

"I never imagined there was such a mysterious sea area on the Douluo Continent. From what you've said, there seem to be many level 100,000 soul beasts in that sea. Hunting one to make a soul ring shouldn't be a problem. Do you need me to send someone with you?"

"No need, my mom will come with me."

"Alright. Even if you were alone, you could kill a 100,000-year-old soul beast. However, with Dean Lin here, he can protect you while you absorb the soul ring, making it safer. I'll wait for your safe return."

"Yes, I'll be right back."

Xiao Han didn't want Qian Renxue to worry, so he didn't tell her that the real target was the million-year-old deep-sea demon whale king.

A month later, Xiao Han's soul power broke through level ninety.

He returned to his home in Tianshui City.

Lin Zhiruo was both surprised and delighted to learn of Xiao Han's progress.

Xiao Han has grown into a powerful figure who is about to step into the Title Douluo realm.

Looking at Xiao Han, Lin Zhiruo's eyes were filled with pride and satisfaction.

"Xiaohan, you've really grown up."

Xiao Han smiled and took his mother's hand.

"Mom, this is all thanks to you. Without your guidance and support, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today."

Lin Zhiruo shook her head, tears glistening in her eyes:

"No, it's something you earned through your own hard work. I've always believed that you have extraordinary talent and perseverance. Now, you're about to face an even greater challenge, but I believe you will succeed."

"Mom, this trip to Seagod Island is not only to obtain the ninth spirit ring, but also to visit Bing'er and the others."

"Okay. Before I knew it, more than a year had passed, and I really do miss them."

The next day, the two set off from Tianshui City and headed for Hanhai City.
