In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 325 The Show Begins

Wang Zhao's words were exceptionally sharp, even venomous, directed at him.

After all, ever since human society began promoting inner cores and soul rings, hunting soul beasts for soul rings has been strictly prohibited in order to maintain the hard-won peace between humans and beasts.

Not to mention, Wang Zhao, as the Lord of the Dragon King Palace, was one of the leaders who represented the human race in negotiations with the ferocious beasts. If Wang Zhao were to be labeled as "actively breaking the rules and leading the hunt for soul beast soul rings," the impact would be enormous...

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi, Yu Yuanzhen, and the others on the high seat, upon hearing the words of the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, immediately connected them to these thoughts. They felt a tightness in their hearts, and at the same time, they were also somewhat curious.

The tension stemmed from the fact that the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall was pressing the Dragon King Hall Master so hard, making them feel that a storm was brewing. After all, the Dragon King Hall was now a powerful ally in their "Anti-Spirit Alliance," and no matter what internal disputes there were, they shouldn't let it be suppressed by the Spirit Hall.

Ning Fengzhi: I'm mentally preparing for the upcoming new era of the three upper sects becoming one!

As for curiosity, they were naturally curious about Wang Zhao's soul ring configuration, which he had not yet revealed. Several years ago, Wang Zhao revealed a heaven-defying configuration of yellow, purple, black, black, and red, which was unprecedented; just now, he used a martial soul true body soul skill symbolizing the seventh soul ring, which meant that Wang Zhao was at least a Soul Saint at present.

How did Wang Zhao acquire his 100,000-year fifth spirit ring? This remains a mystery to the leaders of various factions to this day. However, when Wang Zhao revealed his 100,000-year fifth spirit ring, the inner core spirit ring system had not yet been implemented, so they assumed that Wang Zhao's spirit ring at least came from a spirit beast.

Therefore, having obtained a fifth spirit ring of 100,000 years, would Wang Zhao still be satisfied with spirit rings of only 10,000 years? This was a question that the important figures on the high seat had been pondering. However, it seemed that the Spirit Hall had not yet released any spirit ring inner cores of 100,000 years, and now the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall had clearly stated that "Wang Zhao, the Hall Master of the Dragon King Hall," had never purchased a spirit ring inner core for his own use.

So, could "Wang Zhao" really be...?

At this moment, facing all sorts of strange gazes coming from all directions, Gu Yuena, who was wearing Wang Zhao's face, simply smiled slightly and then calmly shook her head.

"The practice of inner core spirit rings has been around for so many years. I'm sure that experienced spirit masters can clearly sense whether a spirit ring comes from a spirit beast or from a pure inner core by its aura. I have no need to go against the grain."

"Due to some special reasons, it is not convenient for me to reveal my spirit rings right now. If Your Highness still has doubts, I can undergo a private examination by His Holiness the Pope later."

After Wang Zhao said this, most of the people present believed him, since both the Dragon King Palace Master and Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, were undoubtedly highly authoritative on the continent.

"Oh~"

Unexpectedly, Wang Zhao, who was now posing as the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, seemed to be truly in character, continuing to be aggressive without any restraint.

"Since the Palace Master has said so, how could I possibly have any doubts? However, I'm curious, if the Palace Master's spirit rings didn't come from an inner core or a spirit beast, then could they have been obtained through some other method?"

"Whoa!!!"

Wang Zhao's words caused another stir in the room, and the important figures in the high seats also narrowed their eyes, their thoughts wandering.

Wang Zhao chuckled calmly, then suddenly retorted, "That's a personal secret, and it's not convenient to reveal it. But speaking of which, this Palace Master is also curious about what's going on with His Highness the Holy Son's gray soul ring."

Wang Zhao smiled and remained silent for a moment.

"..."

Seeing the two of them locked in such a fierce confrontation, Ning Fengzhi, Yu Yuanzhen, and the others on the high seat suddenly felt somewhat pleased. After all, they usually didn't have many opportunities to investigate the backgrounds of these two exceptionally talented individuals.

The fact that the two are tearing each other apart is just a boon for the onlookers.

Oh……

Little did they know that Wang Zhao and the "Wang Zhao" on the field were actually in cahoots. The reason Wang Zhao put on this show was, of course, for his future plans.

Otherwise, would he be foolish enough to reveal his own hand and do something so self-destructive?

He's always the one making fun of others, okay?

As the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, "Li Ming," responded to "Wang Zhao's" retort, he glanced around.

"I know that many of you here are curious about my spirit rings, right?"

After saying that, he didn't wait for anyone's reply and looked at "Wang Zhao" opposite him.

"Palace Master, we both have our own secrets. Since that's the case, why don't we just make this a wager?"

"The loser in the end has to reveal the secret of their spirit ring, or at least give a general overview."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena thought to herself, "You've given me a perfectly legitimate reason to beat you up," and narrowed her eyes even more happily. Of course, her expression didn't change much while wearing Wang Zhao's face; she simply nodded slightly.

"Can."

As she spoke, she tightened her grip on the "Platinum Dragon Spear".

It's worth mentioning that neither the platinum dragon scales from before nor the "armor" that Gu Yuena is currently wearing, which is an illusion created by imitating what Wang Zhao once showed her, are real weapons, but they are disguised as platinum.

That's right, what she's holding now is a divine weapon transformed from one of her own ribs, the Silver Dragon Spear!

Wang Zhao: Pull out your divine weapon and fight me... 6

At this moment, the two stood in the void and simultaneously moved a little distance apart from each other. After glancing at the area below that had been cleared by Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, they looked at each other at the same time.

When eyes meet, it's the signal for battle!

The next moment, Wang Zhao took the lead in attacking. His lips moved slightly, but he did not make a sound. His eyes were half-open and half-closed, and his expression seemed somewhat sacred. Finally, he suddenly raised the Necromancer's Scythe in his hand.

At this moment, the important figures representing various forces on the high seats became serious, unwilling to miss this rare opportunity to investigate the strange soul ring and martial soul strength of the "Spirit Hall Holy Son".

Swish!

In an instant, a restrained gray light suddenly shone on the Necromancer's Scythe, deathly yet not evil, and even giving people a strange and warm "holy" aura.

Then, Wang Zhao raised the Necromancer's Scythe and tilted it slightly downwards, pointing it at the "Wang Zhao" opposite him.
