Chapter 108: The People's Choice for Pope
Red! It was the most coveted spirit ring color for any Spirit Master. If they could barely understand Jingni Douluo having a hundred-thousand-year ring due to her twin Martial Souls, then Qin Xuan's completely exceeded their comprehension. At this moment, the light from his body overshadowed everyone, including the masters of the Upper Three Clans.
"He actually possesses a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring! How is this possible?" Yu Yuanzhen shouted in disbelief.
Tang Tian, the Clear Sky Clan Master, painfully closed his eyes. "Another genius who surpasses Hao'er."
On Pope Mountain, the square in front of the Supreme Pontiff Palace was filled with all of Spirit Hall's powerhouses above the Titled Douluo rank. They had just finished their meeting when they sensed the eruption of power from the city below.
"Is this the Second High Priest's strength?" Qingluan and Xiongshi gulped.
"It's not just her," Golden Crocodile Douluo said from the side, his eyes full of admiration. "Have you seen Xuan'er's seventh spirit ring? It's also one hundred thousand years, personally hunted for him by the Second High Priest." From the couple, he saw hope for Spirit Hall's future. He had even privately proposed to Qian Daoliu that Qin Xuan replace Bibi Dong as the first-in-line successor.
"Too strong!" the other Titled Douluo exclaimed. "The Second Majesty already possesses two great Domains, and now a hundred-thousand-year seventh ring. His strength is probably on par with us Elders!"
The strong have always commanded respect. While Jing Ni's power was revered, her prestige was not yet comparable to an elder like Golden Crocodile. But Qin Xuan was different. He was born and raised in Spirit Hall, a disciple of two High Priests. He was of pure lineage. Now, his strength surpassed the Holy Maiden's, and he had a powerhouse like Jingni Douluo as his companion. He acted decisively and showed no regard for the Upper Three Clans. His personality was very much to their liking.
Subtly, the balance for the next Supreme Pontiff in their hearts was gradually tilting towards Qin Xuan. Although Bibi Dong was excellent, she was still lacking in comparison.
"A hundred-thousand-year seventh ring... he's truly a monster," She-Long Douluo clicked his tongue. "I guarantee that in less than ten years, Xuan'er will definitely achieve Titled Douluo."
"Indeed. It seems Heaven truly intends to prosper our Spirit Hall," the other Titled Douluo and High Priests nodded in agreement.
"Qin Xuan, you've become this strong already!" Bibi Dong felt her heart pounding, her eyes seeing only him.
"This little pervert is truly becoming more and more captivating," Ling Yuan murmured, lightly licking her lips.
Meanwhile, Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo's attention was also on Qin Xuan.
"High Priest," Golden Crocodile Douluo asked respectfully, "that brat from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan actually dared to conspire to harm Xuan'er. Should we take this opportunity to eliminate them?"
His words received the approval of almost all the Titled Douluo present. Even Qian Xunji, who had always been at odds with Qin Xuan, was no exception.
"Yes, Father," he said excitedly. "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan is too presumptuous. On our territory, they dared to attempt to harm my second brother. Their crime deserves death."
