The Strongest All-Round Support in Douluo Continent

The two then continued their investigation, working almost all day long.

Chapter 142 One and a Half Years Later

In the vast and boundless realm of gods, the benevolent god king and the evil god king gathered together again to discuss matters because of Duan Yufan.

"I never expected that he would actually survive. I can only say that fate is truly wonderful. But I never expected that this woman would sacrifice herself, risking exposure and ruining her reputation for the rest of her life, to save this kid at all costs."

The Evil God King was still dressed the same as before, with a somewhat sinister and handsome appearance. His usually calm face was now filled with surprise at Bibi Dong's dedication.

"This is the greatness of the power of love. With love, anything is possible," the petite, lovely, and kind-hearted god-king said with a soft laugh.

Who would have thought that such an adorable girl is one of the five great god-kings of the divine realm, standing next to the evil god-king like siblings?

"However, things have become a bit complicated among these four. I'm afraid that when things are made public, their minds will waver, and they will influence each other, which will also affect our divine examination." The Evil God King did not refute the Good God King's words, but only sighed.

"Well, just in case, we should still deal with it. It just so happens that the God of Love left a secret realm in the Douluo Realm. We can let the four of them undergo the most sincere test of their hearts, and at the same time help the three of them. The two mothers and daughters are fine, as they both have godhood. But that fox might be a bit difficult. In order to let the successor accept the divine test with peace of mind, it is not a problem to open a door a little."

The benevolent god-king chuckled as he devised a plan against Duan Yufan and his three companions.

"Haha, as long as you have a method, that's fine. I'm just afraid the other three will have objections, especially Shura. It seems our successor has an antagonistic relationship with the person he favors." The Evil God King revealed a meaningful wicked smile.

"It's alright. This person, although he has some talent, is somewhat selfish, hypocritical, and arrogant. I don't know how Shura could have taken a liking to such a person. Even if he wants to leave the God Realm sooner, he doesn't need to just pick someone like that." The Kind God King said to the Shura God King, speechless.

"Perhaps it suits Shura's taste. After all, Shura became a god through slaughter, which is understandable. However, judging from this situation, Shura may be disappointed. After all, his talent is worlds apart from our successor's. He's just asking for death," the Evil God King said nonchalantly.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. After he completes the third test of the divine examination, I will ask the God of Love to guide them into the secret realm for the test of the heart."

"So, you can leave now, hmph, shameless bastard." The Kind God King said to the Evil God King with a stern expression.

"Hey, we were having a good chat, why are you rushing us now? Let's chat a little longer," the Evil God King said shamelessly to the Kind God King.

"Are you coming or not? Believe me or I'll beat you up," the Kind God King threatened.

"Alright, alright, call me anytime if you need anything." The Evil God King appeared outside the residence of the Good God King in a flash.

"Hehe, this successor is not bad. He's been talking about kindness a lot lately. Looks like I have good taste." The Evil God King chuckled and returned to his place with satisfaction.

. . . . . .

A year and a half later, the new season of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament will begin.

In the Spirit Hall of Spirit City, Bibi Dong was sitting cross-legged. A dark purple scythe floated in front of her, its entire body radiating a dark flame.

Bibi Dong looked somewhat uncomfortable, with tiny water droplets clinging to her forehead.

A year and a half later, Bibi Dong's third test of the Nine Trials of Rakshasa, the refining of the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, has reached the very final and crucial stage.

Not long after, the Rakshasa Demon Scythe emitted a burst of dark flames, then subsided, hummed softly, and finally disappeared into Bibi Dong's body.

"Phew, two years have passed, and I have finally fully mastered the Rakshasa Demon Scythe." Bibi Dong stood up, and a dark purple scythe appeared in her hand, the Rakshasa Demon Scythe that she had just refined.

"Tearing Space Abyss Slash, is this one of the three ultimate techniques of the Rakshasa Demon Scythe? It feels like its attack power has surpassed that of the ninth soul skill. I wonder when I will be able to master the other two ultimate techniques."

Bibi Dong quietly sensed the information fed back by the Rakshasa Demon Scythe. With Bibi Dong's strength, she could only master one of the three ultimate techniques of the Rakshasa Demon Scythe.

"Haha, congratulations! Your strength has improved again, and you have completed the third God Trial." Rakshasa's divine sense appeared in front of Bibi Dong and congratulated her.

"The third test of the Nine Trials of Rakshasa has been completed. The reward is 10% Rakshasa Affinity and the Rakshasa Domain."

"Rakshasa's Nine Trials, Fourth Trial: Pass the test of love, time limit of ten years, reward Rakshasa's affinity by 15%, and increase the age of the first soul ring by 500 years."

Bibi Dong then received a reward from the Rakshasa God in person and the content of the next test, the fourth one.

"Rakshasa Domain increases one's own attack power by 50% and weakens the enemy by 50%. Within the Rakshasa Domain, one can continuously absorb evil and resentment from the outside world and convert it to replenish the soul power consumed by oneself."

Bibi Dong also learned about the specific abilities of the Rakshasa Domain, which can be said to be the most top-tier in the domain.

"Rakshasa God, what exactly is the fourth test of Rakshasa, the test of the God of Love? And who is the God of Love?" Bibi Dong frowned slightly upon hearing the fourth test issued by the Rakshasa God himself.

"God of Love, your power attributes are strange. You belong to the pantheon of the God of Kindness, and are a first-level god under the God of Kindness. As for how to pass the God of Love's test, I don't know the specifics. When the time comes, the test should appear." Rakshasa God thought shook his head and said ignorantly.

"Strange, wasn't I supposed to be undergoing the test of the Rakshasa God? Why am I being asked to undergo the test of the God of Love?" Bibi Dong asked again, still puzzled.

"Since I have issued such a divine test, there must be a reason for it. Just prepare for the God of Love's test that may come at any time. It will definitely have specific content. But I advise you to be mentally prepared. I will not issue such a fourth test without a reason." Rakshasa God's thought kindly reminded Bibi Dong.

"Could it be related to Xiao Fan? Cupid's test of the heart, the test of the heart?" Bibi Dong's face darkened, and a bad premonition welled up in her heart.

"Could it be that Cupid can't stand my relationship with Xiao Fan anymore and wants to break us up because it's against all reason?" Bibi Dong dared not think any further.

As Bibi Dong's mind wandered, the joy of completing the third test faded considerably.

A year and a half later, Duan Yufan came to the secret room hall again. He noticed that Bibi Dong's martial soul was not moving and that Bibi Dong's martial soul was in some discomfort. He thought that something had happened to Bibi Dong, so he came to the secret room on his own.

When Duan Yufan arrived at the main hall of the secret chamber, he saw Bibi Dong listlessly leaving the Rakshasa Secret Realm, looking somewhat worried.

"Teacher, what's wrong? You look so worried." Duan Yufan walked up to Bibi Dong and said with concern.

"Xiao Fan, why did you come down? Didn't I tell you not to come?" Bibi Dong said sternly, recalling what she had just thought.

For the past year and a half, Bibi Dong has been very strict with Duan Yufan, not giving him any opportunity to get close to her.

A year and a half later, Duan Yufan was 16 years old. His soul power level had recently reached level 90, and he was nearly 1.9 meters tall, a head taller than Bibi Dong.

Although Duan Yufan was already level 90, he was not in a hurry to obtain his ninth soul ring. He was waiting for the reward of the third trial, the divine soul ring. After all, the continent-wide elite competition would be held in three days. Once the competition was over, the divine trial would be completed, so Duan Yufan was not in a hurry at all.

"Teacher, I sensed something unusual about your martial spirit while I was meditating. It was in some pain, and I was worried that you might come down."

"Teacher, what happened? Can you tell me? You look distracted and worried. You didn't even notice me standing right in front of you."

Duan Yufan asked Bibi Dong anxiously.

"Xiao Fan, it's nothing really. I just finished refining the Rakshasa Demon Scythe and completed the third trial," Bibi Dong said cryptically.

"That's something to be happy about, teacher. Why are you so gloomy? Is the fourth test of the Nine Trials of Rakshasa too difficult?" Duan Yufan asked, expressing his incomprehension.

"Hmm, the fourth test, I don't know what it means either, but it seems to be related to you," Bibi Dong said somewhat forlornly.

"Teacher, tell me, let me analyze it. It's actually related to me." Duan Yufan was a little curious. What could the Rakshasa God Trial have to do with him?

"The fourth of the Nine Trials of Rakshasa is the test of the heart that I must pass through the God of Love. I don't know if it's because of our illogical relationship, or if it means I should never see you again." Bibi Dong told Duan Yu Fan her wild guesses.

"A test from Cupid? Teacher, my guess is that Cupid wants you to stop hiding your inner thoughts and face your heart. So don't overthink it. God wouldn't be so bored as to care about us. Our relationship is perfectly natural." Duan Yufan held Bibi Dong's chin and looked directly at her as he spoke.

“But I still can’t help but try not to overthink things,” Bibi Dong said, looking at Duan Yufan in front of her.

"Dong'er, I love you. Even the gods can't control us. Why do you have to hide your feelings for me? Although you don't want Nana and Xue'er to know right now, you can spend time alone with me and talk about your feelings. Don't overthink things by yourself, okay?" Duan Yufan gently comforted Bibi Dong.

“Xiao Fan, I love you too. I just received the message from the Fourth Trial, and it felt like the sky was falling. In fact, seeing you and Nana being together openly for the past year or so, I’ve really been a little jealous of Nana.” Bibi Dong said, her eyes already red.

"Dong'er, thank you for your hard work." Duan Yufan gently lifted Bibi Dong's chin and slowly leaned closer.

Bibi Dong's efforts, which had been brewing for over a year, were rekindled, responding enthusiastically to Duan Yufan. Upon receiving the content of the fourth test of the Nine Trials of Rakshasa, Bibi Dong was truly terrified, thinking she would never see Duan Yufan again, and even considered giving up on the divine test.

It was past midnight when Duan Yufan finally came out of Bibi Dong's room and instantly teleported back to his own room, leaving Bibi Dong with a mysterious smile on her face.

Duan Yufan had already told Hu Liena that he would be going to Tiandou City to witness the entire preliminary and qualifying rounds due to the Divine Exam, and would return to Wuhun City only after the finals.

"Nana, even though you're already a level 68 Soul Emperor, you still need to cooperate with your brother and the others." Before leaving, Duan Yufan gently hugged Hu Liena and gave her these instructions.

In the past year and a half, Hu Liena has increased her soul power by four levels, reaching level 68 Soul Emperor.

Xie Yue and Yan both reached level 64. The other teammates were the same as in the original work, all Soul Masters, at level 47 and 48.

Zhu Zhuqing was already a level 41 Soul Master, having just broken through not long ago, and her Soul Ring was obtained through a hunt led by Nana.

"Okay, Xiao Fan, you go ahead. We're doing well in Wuhun City. But you, be careful out there," Hu Liena also instructed Duan Yu Fan.

"Um, Nana, it's getting late, so I'll be going now. I'll love you again when I get back." Duan Yufan whispered the last sentence, only Hu Liena could hear it.

"Go away, the teacher and elders are still here," Hu Liena said, blushing slightly.

"Teacher, Nana, I have to go now. The opening ceremony of the All-Continent Elite Tournament is the day after tomorrow, and it wouldn't be good to be late," Duan Yufan said to Bibi Dong and Hu Liena.

"Xiao Fan, be careful. Although you are not afraid of Title Douluos with your current strength, you still need to be wary of sneak attacks from Title Douluos who do not know martial ethics." Bibi Dong also instructed Duan Yu Fan, her eyes filled with deep affection.

"Goodbye, teacher; goodbye, Nana; farewell, elders." Duan Yufan said goodbye to each of them.

"Ah."

"Your Highness, please be careful," Elders Chrysanthemum and Ghost said.

"Giddy up!" Duan Yufan mounted a blazing steed and quickly galloped out of the east gate toward Tiandou City. The blazing steed was about twice as fast as an ordinary horse, and given the time constraints, Duan Yufan did not choose the most comfortable method.

We set off from Wuhun City at nine in the morning and arrived in Tiandou City on the afternoon of the second day. Tiandou City was much more lively than usual because of the All-Continent Elite Tournament, and the Tiandou Empire had doubled its number of soldiers to maintain order.

Duan Yufan arrived at the Heavenly Dou Temple around 6 PM, but he didn't go looking for Qian Renxue.

After all, during the extraordinary period of the All-Continent Elite Tournament, Qian Renxue disguised herself as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and handled affairs, keeping busy by Emperor Xue Ye's side.

"Welcome, Your Highness, to the Spirit Hall of Heaven Dou City once again. Your subordinate greets Your Highness." Platinum Bishop Skorda, along with several of his bishops, greeted Duan Yufan at the entrance.

"Greetings, Your Highness, Holy Son." Ghost Leopard Douluo had been stationed at the Heaven Dou Temple since the investigation began, remaining in Heaven Dou City for about two years.

"Everyone, don't be so polite. It's not like we're meeting for the first time. Let's go inside and talk," Duan Yufan said to everyone in a friendly manner.

Then Duan Yufan led the way into the main hall of the Heavenly Battle Temple and sat in the main seat.

"Everyone, there is no particular reason for my visit to the Heaven Dou Temple. It's just that the All-Continent Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies is about to begin. On behalf of His Holiness the Pope, I will serve as a judge and supervisor for the Heaven Dou Empire region, to recruit elite talents for the Spirit Hall."

"Tomorrow morning, Bishop Skoda and Elder Ghost Leopard will accompany me to the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace to attend the opening ceremony of the Elite Tournament. The rest of you will continue to run normal affairs in the Temple. Is everyone alright?"

Duan Yufan clearly stated his purpose and gave instructions to everyone.

"Your Highness, it's entirely up to you. We have no objections. It's an honor for the contestants that Your Highness can attend the Heavenly Battle Zone," Skoda said somewhat obsequiously.

"Don't say that. You need to maintain a humble and modest mindset to go further. Okay, everyone should go back and rest. You've all worked too hard all day."

Seeing that there was nothing nice to say, Duan Yufan told everyone to go home and rest, while he himself, having ridden his horse for more than a day, headed towards the room that had been prepared for him.

Chapter 143 Elite Tournament Begins

At eight o'clock in the morning, Duan Yufan got up, washed up, and took Ghost Leopard Douluo and Platinum Bishop Skoda to the venue of the opening ceremony of the All-Continent Elite Tournament, the Tian Dou Empire Regional Preliminary Tournament, which was the square in front of the Tian Dou Imperial Palace.

The entire Heaven Dou Empire, including its vassal kingdoms and duchies, has a total of nearly one hundred advanced soul master academies.

The preliminary rounds of the Heaven Dou Empire are divided into six regions: the Heaven Dou City region, one region for each of the four kingdoms, and one region for each duchy. The Heaven Dou City region has the most advanced soul masters, so it has five qualifying spots. Each kingdom and duchy has two qualifying spots, for a total of fifteen spots.

The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy has two teams. One team is a guaranteed admission team and does not need to participate in the preliminaries and qualifying rounds. The other team participates in the competition as usual. Therefore, the total number of teams that will qualify for the finals is sixteen.

The Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire both have about sixteen slots, and they also started their preliminary rounds at the same time.
