From Douluo Continent onwards, Glory is invincible.

Chapter 22, the challenge against Haotian's disciples, resulted in obtaining the Daji skin.

"Yes, I know. There should be no other Soul Emperor on the continent at the age of eighteen."

Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh, among Liu Erlong's generation, Bibi Dong's talent was indeed unmatched.

The cultivation of a Soul Master becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses. Generally speaking, it takes several years to advance one level after reaching the Soul King level or above.

Tang Yiran, as a young lady of a prominent position in the Haotian Sect, had access to various cultivation resources and only became a Soul Emperor at the age of twenty-five.

Lin Fan remembered that in the original novel, Tang San had all sorts of incredible abilities and only broke through to level 60 at the age of seventeen. This was enough to show that Bibi Dong was definitely the most talented among the younger generation of Soul Masters in the current world.

"That's right, my talent is far inferior to hers. Xiao Fan, do you really want to participate?" Tang Yiran looked at Lin Fan with a complicated expression.

Lin Fan nodded and said seriously, "Yes, is that alright, Sister Yiran? I'm participating in the competition because I really want to see her. Also, I want to challenge myself and compete with the geniuses of the current Soul Master world."

Lin Fan did not hide his feelings for Bibi Dong, but to his surprise, Tang Yiran's eyes dimmed again. She lowered her head slightly so that Lin Fan could not see her face.

"What's wrong, Sister Yiran?" Lin Fan asked curiously.

"It's nothing." Tang Yiran raised her head, her eyes had returned to normal, and said calmly, "I know you want to see her, so I specially told you about the Elite Soul Master Competition. Originally, our Haotian Sect had already decided on seven participants. You are still young, and your soul power is only in the thirties, so you are not suitable to participate in the competition."

"It's already decided?" Lin Fan was startled and quickly said, "Sister Yiran, you know my strength. Although I'm only in my thirties, I can still fight against a true Soul King. Can you help me? It would be best if Liu Erlong and Ye Keke came with me too."

Tang Yiran remained silent for a while before saying, "No, although I acknowledge your strength, my elder brother doesn't know that even if I ask, he won't let someone who isn't strong enough represent the Clear Sky Sect in the competition. The Elite Soul Master Tournament is the only fair and universally recognized final for Soul Masters in this chaotic world, and this tournament will attract the attention of the entire continent."

No matter how powerful a sect is, they wouldn't dare to tamper with the Elite Soul Master Tournament. Therefore, its impact on a sect's reputation and prestige is immense. Although my Clear Sky Sect hasn't won the tournament in the past five years, we've consistently remained in the top three.

Lin Fan quickly said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not hold the Haotian Sect back. I have killed a Soul Emperor in the Star Dou Great Forest. Erlong and Keke's soul power is above level 40. Let them come with me. I believe the Sect Master will approve of us."

Tang Yiran looked into Lin Fan's determined eyes, and after a moment, she nodded and said, "Alright, you, Coco, Erlong, and Shuiyue'er are also inner disciples personally selected by me. Three days later, I will have the two lowest-level battle spirit masters, one support spirit master, and one control spirit master from our original seven-person team from the Clear Sky Sect challenge them in front of the Clear Sky Sect Elder Hall. If you can defeat them, these four spots will be yours."

"Thank you, Sister Yiran." Lin Fan quickly expressed his gratitude. The Elite Soul Master Tournament was just one month away, which meant that he could still go to the Spirit Hall to bring Bibi Dong out after the tournament.

Most importantly, he could also meet Bibi Dong at the tournament. If he could talk to her, he could discuss the plan to help her escape from the Spirit Hall. Judging from their encounter in the Star Dou Great Forest, Lin Fan knew that Bibi Dong also wanted to escape from the Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong is very powerful. Only by joining forces with her can they hope to break out of the Spirit Hall if they are fully prepared. This is also the only way.

After rescuing Bibi Dong and her child, Lin Fan knew that he could only rely on himself in this battle. No one could help him, and Lin Fan did not want anyone to help him. Helping him to snatch the Holy Maiden from the Spirit Hall was too serious a crime. No matter who helped him, they would be hunted down and exterminated by the Spirit Hall.

Tang Yiran suddenly stood up, looked at Lin Fan, and said, "Do you know that in our Clear Sky Sect's original seven-person team, apart from the support-type Soul Master, everyone else is a Soul King? Even if we choose based on the lowest level, apart from the support-type Soul Master who is level 48, the other three are all above level 50. Are you confident you can succeed in the challenge?"

Lin Fan nodded seriously and said, "Of course I know how strong the original Haotian Sect team was, but I also want to give it a try."

Tang Yiran glanced helplessly at Lin Fan and said, "Alright, you brat, you're only fourteen. Why can't you wait? I'll notify you all to come here to see me in three days. I need to ask them if they're willing to accompany you in the competition before you go to challenge them. If they're not willing, then you can challenge a Soul Master by yourself."

"Yes, no problem. I knew Teacher Yiran was the best to me." Lin Fan was quite happy. In fact, he had always wanted to test his strength by unleashing all his trump cards, but he hadn't had the chance. This time, he could finally see how strong the true direct descendants of the Haotian Sect were.

Tang Yiran reached out and gently touched Lin Fan's face, saying softly, "Alright, I've said everything I wanted to say. You can stay here and enjoy the flowers, or you can go back and prepare properly."

At this moment, Tang Yiran really looked like an older sister, which warmed Lin Fan's heart.

Lin Fan said, "Okay, Yiran, I'll stay here and keep you company for a while. I'll go back later. It must be quite boring for you to live alone in such a big courtyard."

Tang Yiran's eyes showed a hint of joy, and then she smiled and said, "Great, Xiao Fan, you're actually willing to come with me." After saying that, she took Lin Fan's hand and led him to the backyard, where there were more flowers and some small, cute soul beasts.

The rooms in the backyard were even more luxurious, with a guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument), canvases, and soul-guided devices that played music.

Tang Yiran played the piano while Lin Fan sat on the sofa, listening to her music and admiring the flowers outside, feeling that everything was so beautiful.

Unfortunately, this blissful period wouldn't last long. Lin Fan knew that the days to come would be the real test for him.

Three days later, the challenge begins: the unruly and brutal Elite Tournament of the Soul Master world, along with rescuing Bibi Dong from the Spirit Hall. Failure means certain death, but even success requires an escape journey with Bibi Dong and her child...

Lin Fan stayed with Tang Yiran until evening before preparing to go back. During this time, Tang Yiran also painted a picture for him and taught him flower arranging, which made Lin Fan very happy.

After leaving Tang Yiran's courtyard, Lin Fan suddenly heard her call his name again.

Lin Fan turned around and asked, "What's wrong, Yiran?"

Tang Yiran smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Xiao Fan. I had a very happy day, really..."

"Me too. Okay, Yiran, I'm leaving now. I still need to prepare the battle plan for three days from now." Lin Fan replied with a smile and then turned and left.

Tang Yiran silently watched Lin Fan's retreating figure. After a moment, she murmured to herself, "Why... I... It's okay. Even if you really have to go and challenge the Spirit Hall to take her away in the future, I will definitely help you to the very end."

Tang Yiran was very clever. After reading what Lin Fan said to Bibi Dong in the Star Dou Great Forest and Bibi Dong's sudden decision to let them leave, she roughly guessed some things.

After returning to his dormitory, Lin Fan planned to use up his two chances to win the lottery in preparation for the challenge three days later. However, he didn't expect that the first lottery draw would almost make him furious.

He actually won a trial card for Daji's skin, "Glamorous Vegas," which can be used for 7 days.

"What's the point of this, Ling'er?" Lin Fan couldn't help but complain.

Ling'er said, "The skin trial card can transform the master's martial spirit or weapon into the appearance shown in this skin. It will increase spell power by 10 points. Although the stats are low, it will look great and can confuse opponents. After using it, the master can transform their martial spirit or weapon into the appearance shown in the skin at any time. Some skins can even make the master's soul skills cooler and change their form."

"What a mess, this is a total rip-off."

Lin Fan couldn't help but say that this thing allowed him to release his first martial soul, which actually released Daji, but it seemed to have a certain effect of confusing the opponent.

"Forget it, I'll just wait until the challenge in three days to try my luck with the lottery. This is such a rip-off." Lin Fan went to sleep, feeling frustrated.

three days later

When Lin Fan arrived at Tang Yiran's courtyard again, he saw that Liu Erlong, Ye Keke, and Shui Yue'er had already arrived.

With Ah Yin and Bibi Dong by his side, and Qian Renxue and Tang San both being the protagonist's children, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue hunt down Tang San, leading to a battle between the three gods and their family.
