Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul is actually Bibi Dong.

Chapter 116 Pope Bibidon's Schemes

"Do you think I should let my Clear Sky Hammer absorb a spirit ring?"

"That way, I can unleash my full potential in the ring!"

"My Blue Silver Grass is still too weak. When it encounters a strong fire-type soul master, my Blue Silver Grass is completely useless on the arena!"

After the match, Tang San shared his thoughts with the other members of Shrek Academy.

"No, it's just a temporary setback. There's no need to waste your talent because of it!"

"The most suitable cultivation method for twin martial souls is to first cultivate one martial soul to its peak before adding a soul ring to the other!"

"This is also the biggest advantage of having twin martial souls. The second martial soul can absorb all spirit rings that are over 50,000 years old, which will greatly increase your leveling speed in the later stages!"

Upon hearing Tang San's words, Flander was the first to disagree with Tang San's idea.

He also wanted Tang San to be stronger so that he could perform better in the Soul Master Competition, but he would definitely disagree if it meant wasting the greatest advantage of Tang San's twin martial souls.

If Tang San weren't Yu Xiaogang's disciple, he might have agreed, or even actively tried to persuade Tang San. But since Tang San is Yu Xiaogang's disciple, things are different.

"That's right, a mistress, your teacher definitely wouldn't agree to it!"

Liu Erlong quickly added.

"Yes, Third Brother!"

"The dean is right..."

Ma Hongjun and the others also quickly spoke up.

After being persuaded by everyone, Tang San finally gave up the idea of ​​adding a spirit ring to the Clear Sky Hammer.

In the subsequent matches, the Shrek team lost twice more, for a total of four losses. The Five Elements Academy only managed to defeat the Elephant Armor team.

However, in terms of points, the Shrek team is more than qualified to advance.

The teams directly under the Heavenly Dou Empire's jurisdiction are the Heavenly Water Team, the Blazing Fire Team, the Shrek Team, the Thunder Team, and the Divine Wind Team.

The Elephant Armor team from the Five Elements Academy was eliminated; they couldn't even beat the Azure Radiance team.

However, the Canghui team also failed to advance. Although they were not crippled by Tang San, they suffered a severe backlash and did not perform well in the next two matches, so they did not have enough points to enter the top five.

Two months have passed since the first round of qualifiers ended.

The five teams that advance will join ten teams from other divisions of the Heavenly Dou Empire in the qualifying rounds to determine the rankings of the fifteen teams.

The qualifying rounds are individual competitions, with each team sending one player into the arena. The loser is eliminated, while the winner continues to compete until one team is completely wiped out.

The main purpose of this qualifying round is to allow team members to showcase their individual skills in front of the king, thereby gaining the king's favor and enabling the king to select talented individuals from among them.

After the qualifying rounds, those who performed exceptionally well would receive rewards from the king.

Therefore, the qualifying rounds will still be held in the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the final will be held at the Spirit Hall with the fifteen teams from the Star Luo Empire.

Before the qualifying rounds began, Yu Xiaogang, relying on the token of the honorary elder of the Spirit Hall, finally managed to meet Pope Bibi Dong.

Although the time was brought forward, Pope Bibi Dong still learned about the emergence of another Soul Master with twin Martial Souls in the Soul Master world immediately.

They also learned that this Soul Master with twin martial souls was Yu Xiaogang's disciple and Tang Hao's son.

"Yu Xiaogang, you don't think I don't know that your disciple is from the Haotian Sect, do you?"

"The Clear Sky Sect is an enemy of our Spirit Hall. What makes you think I should reveal the secret of cultivating twin spirits to a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect?"

Pope Bibi Dong looked coldly at Yu Xiaogang.

She only believed that Yu Xiaogang was unaware that Tang San was Tang Hao's son; otherwise, she would have been even angrier.

Tang Hao's son naturally hated the Spirit Hall even more than the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect. Yu Xiaogang's request for the secret of cultivating twin spirits from her on behalf of Tang Hao's son was different from the request made by the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect.

Upon hearing Pope Bibi Dong's words, Yu Xiaogang's expression immediately changed.

He didn't expect that he was still a step too late, and Bibi Dong had already learned about Tang San's information.

It seems that the Spirit Hall is indeed ambitious and keeps a close eye on the entire Spirit Master world, which is why they learned about Tang San's whereabouts so quickly.

"Bibi Dong, I have no children of my own, and Tang San is my disciple whom I regard as my own son!"

"If you're willing to tell me the secret of cultivating twin martial souls, I can assure you that Tang San will never be your enemy or oppose the Spirit Hall in his lifetime!"

Despite knowing the chances were slim, Yu Xiaogang made a final effort, hoping to obtain the secret of cultivating twin martial souls from Pope Bibi Dong.

What makes you guarantee that?

Pope Bibi Dong sneered upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words.

She didn't believe Tang San would listen to Yu Xiaogang.

For Tang San, the Spirit Hall was a place of hatred for the murder of his mother, and that was not something that could be changed by a single guarantee from Yu Xiaogang.

"I……"

"Just because I'm his teacher, he respects me like a father!"

"In short, as long as you tell me the secret of cultivating twin martial souls, I can guarantee that he will never be an enemy of the Spirit Hall again!"

Yu Xiaogang was immediately stumped by Pope Bibi Dong's question, and could only continue to emphasize that he could do it.

"Alright, since that's the case, I'll trust you this once!"

Pope Bibi Dong looked at the determined Yu Xiaogang in front of her, suddenly smiled, and then changed her mind, deciding to tell Yu Xiaogang the secret of cultivating twin martial souls.

"real?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise, somewhat incredulous.

He had already prepared himself for failure, but to his surprise, Pope Bibidon actually agreed in the end.

"Yes, I can tell you!"

Pope Bibi Dong looked at Yu Xiaogang and said calmly.

Pope Bibi Dong suddenly remembered that after Su Mo absorbed a thousand-year-quality soul ring as his second soul ring, all soul masters knew the importance of physical fitness.

Su Mo even boldly verified Yu Xiaogang's theory. As Yu Xiaogang's disciple, Tang San would definitely be instructed by Yu Xiaogang to focus on cultivating his physical fitness.

Whether she says it or not, it seems to have no effect on Tang San.

That's why Pope Bibi Dong suddenly changed her mind and prepared to tell Yu Xiaogang the secret of being able to cultivate twin martial souls without exploding and dying.

She didn't care whether Tang San would continue to oppose the Spirit Hall; she only wanted Yu Xiaogang to remember his promise from today.

If Tang San really doesn't oppose the Spirit Hall in the future, that would be a good thing, as she would have successfully done Yu Xiaogang a favor.

If Tang San fails to do it, that's a good thing, making Yu Xiaogang feel guilty towards her.

"To cultivate twin martial souls normally without exploding and dying, it's actually quite simple. Just focus on improving your physical attributes. If your physical attributes are strong enough, you can withstand the enhancement from the spirit rings brought by twin martial souls!"

Then, Pope Bibi Dong didn't waste any words and directly revealed the secret of cultivating twin martial souls.

"What? It's that simple?"

Upon hearing Pope Bibi Dong's words, Yu Xiaogang was stunned and even doubted whether Pope Bibi Dong was lying to him.

"Is it simple? If I didn't tell you, would you think it's simple?"

"If it were truly that simple, the previous owners of twin martial souls wouldn't have exploded and died while absorbing spirit rings!"

Pope Bibidon sneered; she didn't think it was a simple matter.

She had searched for many years before finding the most likely answer, and finally verified it herself.

After all, apart from her, there were no other Soul Masters in the Soul Master world with twin Martial Souls who could help her verify it.

"..."

Hearing Pope Bibi Dong's words, Yu Xiaogang was still somewhat incredulous, but he believed most of them in his heart.

He just felt it shouldn't be that simple. If it were that simple, he wouldn't have needed to come to Pope Bibi Dong at all!

After witnessing Su Mo's example, he had already made Tang San pay attention to cultivating his own physical fitness.

"Yu Xiaogang, you don't think the answer is too easy and then forget your promise, do you?" Pope Bibi Dong sneered again, looking at Yu Xiaogang's expression.

"No, if I said I would do it, I definitely will!"

"Rest assured, Your Holiness, I will ensure that Tang San never opposes your Spirit Hall again!"

"Of course, that's on the condition that your Spirit Hall doesn't provoke him; otherwise, my guarantee is invalid!"

Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, suppressing his resentment, and looked at Pope Bibi Dong to answer.

Although he felt somewhat cheated, Yu Xiaogang still felt the trip was worthwhile because he was able to learn the secrets of cultivating twin martial souls.

At least now Tang San can cultivate his twin martial souls with peace of mind.

Having received the answer he wanted, Yu Xiaogang was unwilling to continue facing Pope Bibi Dong and quickly took his leave.

Her unwillingness to stay any longer made Pope Bibidon feel a surge of resentment.

"Am I so bad that you don't want to look at me anymore?"

Watching Yu Xiaogang's departing figure, Pope Bibi Dong clenched her fists, deeply saddened.

If she could, she would love to keep Yu Xiaogang with her.

But she can't; she doesn't dare tell Yu Xiaogang the truth about why she abandoned him back then.

……

After Yu Xiaogang obtained the secret of cultivating twin martial souls from Pope Bibi Dong, the qualifying rounds of the Soul Master Competition began.

With the ten teams from other divisions joining, there are now even more powerful teams.

There is also a very distinctive Plant Academy team.

This is yet another team composed entirely of female members.

Upon their appearance, they were warmly welcomed by the audience, who applauded and cheered.

Unfortunately, their strength was far inferior to that of the Tianshui team, and when they faced the Shrek team, they were defeated by Ma Hongjun alone, who took on seven opponents.

There's no way around it; the weaknesses of plant-based martial spirits are too obvious. Their biggest weakness is their fear of fire.

The girls from the Plant Academy team all have plant-based martial souls, so it's normal that they got crushed.

Any team with a fire-attribute soul master can easily defeat the Plant Academy team.

Therefore, the Plant Academy team's final ranking was relatively low, which was the complete opposite of the Tianshui team.

The Tianshui team finished in second place, just one place behind the Thunder team.

As for the Shrek team, their final team ranking was not low either.

Tang San uses two martial souls on the arena, often taking on several opponents at once, or even seven at once.

Having already revealed the secret of his twin martial souls, Tang San simply stopped pretending and began to frequently use his twin martial souls during the advancement matches.

Although the Shrek team wasn't ranked in the top three, Tang San was the most outstanding performer in the qualifying rounds.

"This Tang San, is he a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect?"

"The Haotian Sect has been closed off for many years, yet it has produced such an outstanding disciple!"

"Why would people from the Clear Sky Sect come to our Heaven Dou Empire to participate in the Soul Master Competition?"

The Snow Night Emperor once sighed at Ning Fengzhi.

The reason why Emperor Xueye sighed like this was because the Haotian Sect had always supported the Xingluo Empire, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect supported the Tiandou Empire, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect remained neutral.

"That's not surprising at all. The Shrek Academy team doesn't just have members from the Clear Sky Sect; there are also princes from the Star Luo Empire and members of the Zhu family!"

"And isn't this also an opportunity? Your Majesty could take this opportunity to reward him!"

Upon hearing Emperor Xueye's words, Ning Fengzhi immediately smiled and replied.

Ning Fengzhi was unaware that Tang San was actually Tang Hao's son, so he naturally assumed that Tang San was a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect.

Or rather, apart from a few people like Pope Bibi Dong, everyone who knew that Tang San had twin martial souls believed that Tang San was a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect.

"Haha, Sect Leader Ning is right, this is indeed a good opportunity to win over the Clear Sky Sect!"

Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Emperor Xueye burst into laughter.

"And Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, I can also bestow rewards upon them!"

Then Emperor Xueye looked at the other two members of the Shrek team and said with a smile.

"We shouldn't take those two. After all, they're both members of the Star Luo Empire's royal family, which is different from Tang San!"

Upon hearing Emperor Xueye's words, Ning Fengzhi quickly replied.

Trying to win over Tang San is one thing, but trying to win over Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing would be seen by the Star Luo Empire as a provocation from the Heaven Dou Empire.

"That's right, thanks to Sect Leader Ning's reminder!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xueye immediately realized what was happening and quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Your Majesty is too kind!"

"Even if I didn't say it, His Majesty would have guessed it!"

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly.

"Haha!" Emperor Xueye laughed and said nothing more, then changed the subject to the first team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team.

"Sect Leader Ning, I heard from Qinghe that your daughter and son-in-law are both in the Heaven Dou Royal Team, and that they are both exceptionally talented. Do you think Heaven Dou can win the championship in this Soul Master Competition?"

Rather than trying to win over Tang San, he hoped that the Heaven Dou Empire could achieve good results in this Soul Master Competition.

The Spirit Hall has won the Soul Master Competition for two consecutive years.
