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

Chapter 82 Four Years in the Blink of an Eye

Within the Spirit City, on the most revered mountain, stands the Douluo Palace.

This is where titled Douluo are buried. Countless heroes and great men have rested here for thousands of years. The Douluo Hall undoubtedly holds a lofty position in the hearts of Soul Masters on the continent.

Today is the day to commemorate the last Pope, Qian Xunji. It has been four years since Qian Xunji passed away.

When the current Pope, Her Majesty Bibi Dong, led the high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall to the sacrificial site, she began to deliver her address.

During this time, the high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall were not very focused, at least not in secret, because a mysterious figure appeared during this year's memorial ceremony, unlike the previous three years.

They were all quietly observing the figure, but the more they looked, the more shocked they became.

The man, wearing a large black cloak and a mask, stood silently behind Bibi Dong, seemingly oblivious to the stares of the crowd. Perhaps he simply didn't care.

No one asked Bibi Dong about his identity, because they all knew it in their hearts.

Holy Son of the Spirit Hall!

This Holy Prince is truly patient with loneliness; he has disappeared without a trace for nearly four years, which is quite steady.

But why did they appear today?

While the high-ranking officials were secretly speculating, some of them had already figured out Wang Zhao's approximate soul power level.

Thirty...nine?

No, judging from that powerful aura, he's about to break through to level 40!

How old is he!

Three years ago, wasn't he only level ten or so? How could he have such a terrifying improvement in such a short time?!

Their feelings at this moment could no longer be described as surprise or doubt, but rather as horror.

Even so, none of them thought about going up to His Holiness the Pope to inquire about the situation of this mysterious Holy Son.

It wasn't just because of Bibi Dong's current strength; it was also because, over the years, these high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall had vaguely noticed that the Hall of Worship, which had always remained indifferent to worldly affairs, seemed to be showing signs of supporting this Holy Son.

That's terrifying.

Regardless of their speculations, Wang Zhao silently followed Bibi Dong through all the procedures until the group disbanded.

After leaving the Douluo Palace, the two quickly returned to their cozy little courtyard.

"Sister Dong'er, that's enough. I need to go back to my room to complete my breakthrough. As for that item, I'll have to trouble you to go and get it from Grandpa Qian."

Wang Zhao greeted Bibi Dong, then walked steadily into his room.

Bibi Dong nodded, then turned around and vanished from the spot in an instant.

Over the past three years, she has already advanced to become a true Title Douluo and has begun to add spirit rings to her second martial soul.

However, she wasn't very fast at acquiring spirit rings. This was because she often had to harmonize the two violent elemental spirit powers within her body, and also because she wanted to refine her skills and seek better spirit rings.

In short, this matter cannot be rushed, nor should we be impatient. In any case, the Spirit Hall is currently powerful and unparalleled in the world, so there is no need for her, the Pope, to personally handle everything.

As a member of the Spirit Hall, she can steadily and peacefully improve her strength.

It is precisely because of this that although Bibi Dong has begun to cultivate the evil power of the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor Martial Soul, she is far from being influenced by the power as in the original work. Instead, she has truly mastered the power and will not become paranoid, crazy, or even stupid.

We arrived at the offering hall.

Bibi Dong informed Qian Daoliu that Wang Zhao was about to break through. Without hesitation, Qian Daoliu put away a jade box in front of the meditation mat and followed Bibi Dong to the residence.

But before leaving, he suddenly said:

"Let's invite Yue Guan and the patriarch of the Po clan as well. That kid has been getting quite close to them these past few years; they're practically brothers now."

"it is good."

Bibi Dong thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and quickly sent a telepathic message to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Yang Wudi in Wuhun City.

"Wait! Big brother, we're going too..."

……

The courtyard, the room.

Having already completed his breakthrough, Wang Zhao opened his eyes, his gaze gleaming. His long, bright silver hair moved without wind, and his aura instantly became sharper before quickly returning to its steady state.

Although cultivating ultimate attributes is relatively slow in the early and middle stages, the advantage is that it lays an incredibly solid foundation, and there will almost never be any instability in one's aura.

Although, with the support of the Spirit Hall's resources and the existence of the Golden Scale, a "cultivation cheat device," Wang Zhao's cultivation speed was by no means slow compared to other Soul Masters.

He is eleven years old this year.

He has already become a quasi-Soul Master.

Moreover, since it involves absorbing a spirit ring that is above his level, the energy within it can further advance him to a few more levels.

In other words, even if he became a Soul Master early on, it wouldn't be as simple as just entering the Soul Master realm.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhao slightly raised his left arm, and a thin line emitting a faint blue light appeared and disappeared under the skin of his wrist.

"Mr. Yi, I'll have to trouble you again later."

He said softly.

"Don't worry, it's a minor issue."

A majestic and ethereal voice echoed in Wang Zhao's mind, and at the same time, a faint gray phantom appeared behind him.

He smiled slightly.

Three years ago, by chance, Elder I, also known as Electrolux, suddenly awoke and told Wang Zhao why he had been residing in his sea of ​​consciousness.

It turns out that more than three years ago, Wang Zhao had just obtained his second soul ring and was on a bandit-suppression mission assigned by Bibi Dong when the terrifying resentment of the dead souls of those tragic men and women, the special and powerful light energy of the golden scales, and the fluctuations of the light explosion technique... unexpectedly attracted the fragments of Ilex's consciousness that had broken through the boundary and happened to be wandering nearby.

And so, in this bizarre yet seemingly reasonable way, Electrolux became Wang Zhao's "portable old man".

Although Elder Yi's situation is similar to that in the original Douluo Continent II, where he inevitably falls into a long slumber, this is largely thanks to the help of Qian Renxue and even Qian Daoliu. Wang Zhao has no shortage of true light energy, and in such an environment, Elder Yi's survival condition is much better than in the original Douluo Continent II, although it is still not as good as the "mansion" of the spiritual sea that Huo Gua will build with the gold of life in the future.

Is this what it feels like to have cheat codes credited to your account?

At that moment, Wang Zhao couldn't help but think to himself.

The arrival of Electrolux made him even more convinced that the Douluo world was very deep, possibly even deeper than described in the original novel. He should be more cautious and put some plans on the agenda, instead of delaying them any longer.

Otherwise, delays may lead to unforeseen changes.

Later, when Old Yi woke up for the second time, he did Wang Zhao a great favor.

That was when he absorbed, no, more precisely, condensed his third spirit ring through a special process...
