Chapter 161: Is the Person Dead?
Yu Xiaogang didn't give up; he was truly furious at this moment.
In his eyes, Pei Qing's heavy-handedness was practically murder.
How could he tolerate this? How could he endure this!
"Pei Qing, what are your thoughts on Elder Yu's accusation?"
As the Pope, although Bibi Dong was inwardly biased toward Yu Xiaogang, under everyone's gaze, she could only maintain a calm expression and speak to Pei Qing indifferently.
At least on the surface, she couldn't show too much favoritism, but Bibi Dong's true intention was for the Star Luo Second Team, led by Yu Xiaogang, to win this competition.
This was the last thing she could do for Tang San, and this championship wasn't very important to Pei Qing and the others, but it was extremely important to Tang San.
After all, only by winning this championship could Tang San's name truly resound throughout the Douluo Continent.
Tang San had always wanted to prove his talent to everyone, so this opportunity was very important to him.
"I just want to ask Elder Yu Xiaogang one question: Is anyone dead?"
Yu Xiaogang's breath hitched, and he immediately wanted to curse.
Dead? Of course, no one was dead!
To refute him with such words—wasn't that just pure hooliganism?
And why did those words sound particularly familiar?
"Your Holiness, I don't think I've violated any rules. After all, it's normal for me to use a bit more force when facing Tang San's uncontrollable Clear Sky True Body."
That Tang San couldn't control his Clear Sky True Body was something any Soul Saint or higher-ranked Soul Master present could see.
Only Yu Xiaogang, that good-for-nothing, couldn't see it. Now, hearing Pei Qing directly point it out, many people immediately looked at Yu Xiaogang with mockery.
"Xiao San's Martial Soul True Body went out of control?"
Yu Xiaogang's expression was grim. He was also a Soul Master and knew some rules. If that were truly the case, then it wouldn't be unacceptable even if Pei Qing accidentally killed Tang San.
So, his accusation was completely unfounded. Damn it!
How could Xiao San not control his Soul Power? It seemed he hadn't focused on cultivation these past few days.
"You're right. In that case, I announce... The champion of this All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament is the Heaven Dou Battle Team!"
Bibi Dong sighed. Since Pei Qing had stated it openly, even if she wanted to favor Yu Xiaogang, she couldn't.
After all, as the Pope, she couldn't publicly revoke Pei Qing's championship title.
So, Xiao San, you'll have to rely on yourself. I can't help you!
With Bibi Dong's announcement, the venue once again erupted in fervor.
The audience members from the Heaven Dou Empire immediately began to celebrate.
Those who supported the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Hall had dark expressions and were extremely displeased.
"Pei Qing, are you willing to join the Spirit Hall?"
"With your talent, if you are willing to join the Spirit Hall, I will give you the best education. Becoming a Title Douluo in the future will only be your starting point!"
After announcing the champion, Bibi Dong's gaze subtly shifted to Pei Qing, and then she spoke seriously.
Pei Qing's talent was excellent, and he was also under her rebellious daughter, so Bibi Dong naturally knew that a successful recruitment was impossible.
However, inviting the champion team to join after every major competition was a tradition of the Spirit Hall, so she merely asked casually.
Just as Bibi Dong expected, Pei Qing immediately refused.
Joining Bibi Dong's command? As long as Pei Qing wasn't out of his mind, he would never agree.
"In that case, I wish you a smooth journey on your future path as a Soul Master!"
Bibi Dong spoke indifferently, and after saying that, she no longer paid any attention to Pei Qing.
As for the reward, because she knew about Pei Qing beforehand, Bibi Dong had already changed it to one million gold Soul Coins.
After Pei Qing received the one million gold Soul Coins, he casually distributed them among everyone.
Everyone present was not short on money, so gold Soul Coins didn't have much value.
Just when everyone thought this competition was about to end completely, an unexpected change occurred.
Bibi Dong's gaze fell directly on Xiao Wu among the Star Luo Second Team, and she spoke coldly.
"Seize that girl for me!"
At Bibi Dong's command, several Soul Douluo immediately appeared in the arena, surrounding the Star Luo Second Team.
"Bibi Dong, what are you doing!"
Yu Xiaogang was also momentarily stunned by this sudden scene, but he quickly stepped forward, gritting his teeth as he spoke to Bibi Dong.
Of course, he didn't know that Xiao Wu was a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast. At this moment, he only felt that Bibi Dong was deliberately trying to humiliate him.
"Elder Yu Xiaogang, the Spirit Hall capturing a 100,000-year Soul Beast doesn't require much explanation to you."
Bibi Dong felt a slight pang of bitterness in her heart from Yu Xiaogang's gaze, but she quickly suppressed her bitter feelings, feigning a cold demeanor as she spoke chillingly.
"A 100,000-year Soul Beast? Xiao Wu is a 100,000-year Soul Beast that transformed?"
Yu Xiaogang was also greatly startled upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, looking at her with some disbelief.
He had always had a 100,000-year transformed Soul Beast by his side—a 100,000-year soul bone, a 100,000-year soul ring.
Thinking that these Soul Rings and soul bones, which should have belonged to him, were about to leave him, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but feel a suffocating sensation.
This damned Xiao Wu, why was she so reckless? As a transformed Soul Beast, she dared to appear before Bibi Dong. Damn it, she was too foolish.
"That's right, I am a 100,000-year Soul Beast!"
Xiao Wu finally stepped forward, facing countless greedy gazes. She looked at everyone present with hatred.
Especially Tang San and Bibi Dong: one was the culprit who forced her to come to Spirit City, and the other was the murderer of her mother.
"Xiao Wu!"
Tang San, at this moment, without the help of the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, his Purple Demon Eye had not yet broken through to the mustard seed level, so he was still unclear about Xiao Wu's true form.
He was quite shocked when he heard that Xiao Wu was a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast.
However, the love in his heart quickly overshadowed the shock. So what if Xiao Wu was a Soul Beast!
No matter what Xiao Wu was, he would not let her leave his side, because she was the most important person to him.
"If you want to take Xiao Wu, you'll have to step over my corpse!"
"Xiao Wu, hurry and go! I'll block them!"
Tang San, whose Martial Soul was already shattered and who was severely injured, now stood in front of Xiao Wu.
He would use his life to help his Xiao Wu, to buy her time to escape.
"Tang San, you are truly hypocritical! It's all because of you that I came here step by step!"
"Aren't you just after my soul ring? Aren't you just after my soul bone? Even if I die, I will never let you succeed!"
