Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul is actually Bibi Dong.

Chapter 179 Hu Liena's Changes

"Sister Hu Liena, knowing Su Mo's strength will help us deal with him better, won't it?"

"As the team leader, you knew the strength of our opponents, how could you not say so!"

Since Zhu Zhuqing didn't talk to Hu Liena, she had to bring up the team instead.

"That's because even if I told you, you couldn't change the final outcome, so it makes no difference whether I tell you or not!"

Hu Liena smiled faintly, not feeling that she was incompetent in any way.

As she said, even if the Spirit Hall team were to tell Su Mo the information, they still wouldn't be able to deal with him, so it wouldn't matter whether they told him or not, and there was no need to prepare in advance.

"..."

Upon hearing Hu Liena's words, Zhu Zhuqing could only remain speechless.

Knowing she wouldn't get an answer, Zhu Zhuqing stopped asking and instead turned her attention to the match of the Tian Dou Royal Team.

The strength of this year's Heaven Dou Royal Team is only so-so. There are two Soul Masters in the team, but none of them have the strength of Soul Sect Masters.

Even so, the Heavenly Dou Royal Team still won the final victory.

Although Su Mo did not reveal his spirit rings or use any spirit ring skills throughout the entire process, he still managed to defeat his opponent cleanly and efficiently after making his move.

"So strong!"

"He easily defeated two Soul Masters simply by using his Martial Soul without employing any Soul Skills!"

"He didn't even use his soul power in his attack just now; his current soul power level was completely undetectable..."

"Anyway, it's very strong..."

Now everyone knows that Su Mo is very strong, but apart from those who already know, no one else can tell exactly what level he is.

……

"You're so mean! You came to the Spirit Hall and didn't even come to see me first!"

"I miss you so much!"

In a secluded spot where no one would find them, Hu Liena first punched Su Mo a few times with her little fists, then threw herself into Su Mo's arms, hugged him tightly, and buried her face in his chest.

Hu Liena felt content as she smelled the familiar scent on Su Mo.

Before long, Hu Liena raised her head and looked at Su Mo with alluring and tender eyes.

Needless to say, actions speak louder than words at this moment, Su Mo lowered her head and kissed him.

Su Mo, with Hu Liena in tow, vanished in a flash from their secret rendezvous spot.

When Su Mo and Hu Liena reappeared, they had already arrived at the couple's hotel that Su Mo had booked.

That night, Su Mo didn't let Hu Liena off the hook again.

After this transformation, Hu Liena became even more alluring and charming in front of Su Mo. She was perfectly suited to her martial spirit, and she was willing to do anything Su Mo asked her to do.

"I've finally given myself to you!"

Afterwards, Hu Liena, limp in Su Mo's arms, murmured a satisfied sigh.

"Hmm, what's your current soul power level?"

Su Mo stroked Hu Liena's hair and then asked about her current soul power level.

Now that she's become his woman, Su Mo naturally needs to show her some care.

"Thanks to the ten inner cores of the Fiery Sun Serpent you gave me, my cultivation speed has increased significantly since my martial soul evolved into the Nine-Tailed Fox!"

"I'm level 64 now!"

Upon hearing Su Mo's words, Hu Liena immediately raised her head and said excitedly.

Less than a year and a half after leaving the City of Slaughter, she reached level 64.

Hu Liena was very satisfied with this speed of upgrades.

This was the first time she had ever experienced leveling up so quickly.

Of course, she couldn't compare to Su Mo, but in Hu Liena's perception, her cultivation speed had become much faster, doubling in speed.

"Hmm, not bad!"

Su Mo nodded upon hearing this, agreeing that it was indeed acceptable.

In the original story, Hu Liena had only just broken through to level 60 at this point.

Unfortunately, Su Mo couldn't bring Hu Liena to Seagod Island to participate in its assessment; otherwise, Hu Liena's cultivation speed could have continued to improve.

"Su Mo, the teacher said you've broken through to Soul Saint and even possess two 100,000-year soul rings. Is that true?"

Hearing Su Mo's praise, Hu Liena was even happier than Su Mo himself.

Then Hu Liena curiously inquired about Su Mo's current situation.

Although she learned about Su Mo's current situation from Pope Bibi Dong, she had never witnessed it with her own eyes, so Hu Liena was very curious whether Su Mo was really that powerful.

If it's true, how did Su Mo manage to do it?

It must have been incredibly difficult, right?

"Yes, it's true!"

Su Mo admitted it with a smile.

"It's actually true! Su Mo, you're amazing!"

"How exactly did you do that?"

Upon hearing Su Mo's admission, Hu Liena couldn't help but sit up, looking at Su Mo with boundless admiration.

"I can tell you, but you have to keep it a secret for me first!"

Su Mo thought for a moment and then said.

It's alright to tell Hu Liena about the Sea God's inheritance test.

Whether from the original novel or from my interactions with Hu Liena up to now, Hu Liena is indeed someone who is obsessed with love.

Most importantly, Su Mo wasn't afraid of Hu Liena telling Pope Bibi Dong. Ever since leaving the City of Slaughter, Su Mo had no fear.

Just like when facing Tang Hao, he is no match for Pope Bibi Dong, but he is not afraid of her either.

"Yes, yes, I promise I won't tell the teacher!"

Hu Liena nodded without hesitation upon hearing this.

Su Mo was willing to tell her because he trusted her, and she certainly couldn't let Su Mo down.

"After returning from the City of Slaughter..."

Hearing Hu Liena say this, Su Mo stopped hiding it and told her about his experience.

The first 100,000-year soul ring was obtained from the Star Dou Great Forest.

Su Mo did not provide details on how he obtained her.

Then he revealed that he had gone to Poseidon Island.

"The legacy of the Sea God?"

"Su Mo, you're amazing..."

Upon learning of Su Mo's situation, Hu Liena was naturally shocked, but at the same time, she was happy for Su Mo's good fortune.

Excited and thrilled, she couldn't resist getting up to challenge Su Mo to another match.

After completely winning over Hu Liena, Su Mo spent a little more time at the Soul Master Competition, mainly focusing on Hu Liena.

As the competition progressed, this year's Soul Master Tournament quickly completed the round of 18 to 10 and then 10 to 6.

After the fourth round of the finals, there will be no more byes.

The top three teams will be decided among the six teams.

The top three teams were quickly determined: the Heaven Dou Royal Team, the Shrek Academy Team, and the Spirit Hall Team.

It just so happens that the three strongest teams were left until the end, and the Heavenly Dou Royal Team and the Shrek Team never met.

Even after reaching the top three, Su Mo hadn't revealed any of his spirit rings, which truly astonished everyone else.

They were increasingly eager to know exactly what Su Mo's current soul power level was.

The general consensus is that Su Mo has already broken through level 60 and become a Soul Emperor.

After all, Tang San has already broken through to level 59, so it's possible for Su Mo to break through to level 60 as well.

Although there are rumors that Su Mo's soul power level has broken through to the Soul Saint level, no one believes it.

"It looks like this year's champion will be Team Shrek!"

"Only Su Mo is truly strong in the Heaven Dou Royal Team; the others are not a threat. Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School didn't participate in this competition for some reason. Otherwise, if the two of them used their Spirit Fusion Skill, they would still have a chance to defeat the Shrek Academy Team!"

"I don't see it that way. The Shrek Academy team is too strong now, with four Soul Kings in total. Tang San is even a Soul King with twin martial souls. Their strength is much greater than the Spirit Hall team back then. Even if Ning Rongrong also participates in the competition, she may not be a match for the current Shrek Academy team..."

"That's true, but without a doubt, among the top three, the Spirit Hall team is the weakest. That's quite rare..."

"The Spirit Hall team isn't weak either; they even have a Soul King!"

"It should be said that the Shrek team is too strong, too ridiculously strong..."

"Indeed, in the history of the Soul Master Tournament, there has never been a team with four Soul Kings..."

"I thought the golden generation of the previous Spirit Hall team was unbeatable, but I didn't expect their record to be broken so quickly..."

"The Spirit Hall team last year was ridiculously strong, but I didn't expect the Shrek Academy team this year to be even stronger..."

"..."

Besides the top three teams, the other teams also shared their opinions after the top three were announced.

In general, everyone agrees that they don't have a good chance of winning against the Spirit Hall team.

They hadn't seen Su Mo's true strength yet, so they weren't sure how to assess him.

However, most people still believe that the Shrek team is the strongest.

With everyone's attention focused on it, the individual competition for the top three was about to begin.

The three teams will take turns sending players onto the stage. The winners will stay, and the losers will be eliminated. The team that remains on the stage will advance directly to the final.

The remaining two teams will compete in a team competition to determine which team will advance to the finals.

"They've made it to the individual competition!"

Su Mo was somewhat disappointed that he hadn't encountered the Shrek team yet in the competition so far.

He originally planned to snipe the Shrek team and eliminate them early on.

But the Shrek team was too lucky; they avoided Su Mo in every round of the draw.

In this way, even if Su Mo defeats the Shrek team, the Shrek team will have already gained enough fame.

The same applies to Yu Xiaogang.

Nowadays, almost everyone knows about Yu Xiaogang's abilities.

"It must be that woman's doing. She knows your strength and definitely won't let you eliminate Yu Xiaogang's team so early!"

"She also knew that this competition was very important to Yu Xiaogang!"

Bibi Dong's voice echoed in Su Mo's mind.

She knew herself well, so she knew that the Shrek Academy team had never encountered the Heaven Dou Royal Team, which was very likely due to Pope Bibi Dong's behind-the-scenes manipulation.

Bibi Dong also felt very helpless about this.

She wanted Su Mo to help her destroy Yu Xiaogang's hopes, but she herself had been secretly helping Yu Xiaogang in the past.

This further convinced her that unless she witnessed it with her own eyes, Pope Bibi Dong would never be able to see Yu Xiaogang's true colors.

Originally, Bibi Dong had no intention of taking over the Pope Bibi Dong's body, but now, Bibi Dong really wants to take over the Pope Bibi Dong's body.

She couldn't tolerate such a foolish version of herself continuing to exist.

Since she won't listen to reason, then just give yourself to her!

"Yes, that should be it!"

Su Mo responded to Bibi Dong in his heart.

He didn't care about it.

Yu Xiaogang is just a nobody. In Su Mo's mind, he can easily deal with Yu Xiaogang, so he doesn't care too much about him.

Tang San is the one with great fortune, and he is likely to pose a threat to him in the future.

While Su Mo and Bibi Dong were exchanging ideas.

The three teams have already drawn lots to determine which team will receive a bye for the time being.

Finally, the Spirit Hall team received a bye for the time being.

So the Heavenly Dou Royal Team and the Shrek Team each sent one member into the arena, and the individual competition began with the three teams taking turns to compete.

Everyone was quite in sync, and in order to give everyone a chance to perform, the weaker members were the first to be sent out by each team.

Even support-type Soul Masters have entered the fray. Although they lack offensive capabilities, they can buy as much time as possible and deplete the opponent's Soul Power.

Oscar did this very well. With his mushroom sausage, Oscar used his ability to fly to completely deplete the soul power of one of the Spirit Hall team members.

At this point, four members of the Shrek Academy team have left, leaving only Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai.

After Ma Hongjun entered the arena, the members of the Heaven Dou Royal Team and the Spirit Hall Team were defeated one after another. In the end, Ma Hongjun eliminated the two teams until only Su Mo and Zhu Zhuqing remained.

However, after playing several matches in a row, Ma Hongjun's soul power was also severely depleted.

"Next up is Zhu Zhuqing, the captain of the Spirit Hall team. She's also the last member of the Spirit Hall team. If she's defeated, the Spirit Hall team will be declared defeated!"

The host didn't even need to ask who the Spirit Hall team would send out; he simply announced the lineup.

Swah——

Zhu Zhuqing's figure appeared on the arena in a flash, standing opposite Ma Hongjun.

"Fatty, get down here. I'll take care of this woman!"

After Zhu Zhuqing entered the arena, Dai Mubai immediately stood up, forcing Ma Hongjun, who had little soul power left but could still fight, to leave the arena.

Dai Mubai's sinister eyes coldly stared at Zhu Zhuqing as he slowly walked onto the arena.

"Okay, Boss Dai!"

"Then you can handle Zhu Zhuqing yourself, Boss Dai!"

Ma Hongjun had no objection to this and obediently stepped down from the ring, handing it over to Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

After Dai Mubai entered the arena, his cold, wicked gaze never left Zhu Zhuqing.

"Zhu Zhuqing, I hope you don't give up too quickly!"

Dai Mubai looked coldly at Zhu Zhuqing and spoke sarcastically.
