A few days later, in the grand Spirit City, the atmosphere was heavy inside the Supreme Pontiff Palace. Inside the grand and solemn hall, Bibi Dong sat on the Supreme Pontiff's throne. This throne was the ultimate symbol of power in the world. At this moment, she held a secret letter in her hand. This letter had just arrived as an urgent message from the distant Heaven Dou City.
As she quickly read the words on the paper, the calm look in her deep purple eyes vanished. It was replaced by a strong look of shock and disbelief. A second later, Bibi Dong suddenly stood up from her throne.
Her expensive Supreme Pontiff robes moved violently because she stood up so fast. She looked down from her high place at a Cardinal who was kneeling on the floor in the center of the hall. Her voice was sharp and loud, and she sounded very surprised.
She demanded an answer, asking how it was possible for a fourteen-year-old to be a Spirit King. She was shocked that his spirit ring configuration consisted of two purple rings and three black rings.
Most of all, she was shocked that he was the son of Tang Hao and that his Spirit was the simple Blue Silver Grass. She shouted that it simply was not possible for such a thing to happen. Her voice echoed through the large hall, making the news sound even more unbelievable.
The Cardinal kneeling on the floor began to shake with fear. He lowered his head even more until it almost touched the ground. He spoke in a terrified but certain voice, reporting to the Supreme Pontiff that the news had been checked many times. He confirmed that the information was correct.
This Spirit Master named Tang Chen had shown his true strength during the first match after the opening ceremony of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament. Thousands of people in the arena had seen it with their own eyes. They all witnessed his strange and powerful spirit ring configuration.
Bibi Dong's fingers tightened on the letter, and her knuckles turned white. She slowly sat back down on her throne, but the shock did not leave her eyes. She whispered to herself, wondering how a person could have a thousand-year spirit ring as their first ring.
She noted that his third ring had jumped straight to a ten-thousand-year ring. Since he used a Blue Silver Grass Spirit, she wondered if he had found a God Position Legacy. Her gaze became sharp and dangerous, like a spider looking at its prey. She realized that this boy was hiding a very deep secret.
Just then, Chrysanthemum Douluo, who was standing near Bibi Dong, stepped forward. He moved his fingers in a delicate way and spoke in his usual high, sharp voice. He suggested that maybe the boy was using a trick.
He wondered if the boy used an illusion-type Spirit Ability or a Spirit Bone to change the colors of his spirit rings to trick everyone. He mentioned that he once heard the previous Supreme Pontiff talk about the Angel God Suit Spirit Bones. He said there was a head Spirit Bone that could hide or change the colors of spirit rings.
Bibi Dong shook her head slowly. She handed the letter to Chrysanthemum Douluo and told him to read it for himself. She explained that Salas had written the letter and was very careful. Salas had felt the spirit power coming from Tang Chen's body.
The power was solid and real. The pressure coming from that ten-thousand-year spirit ring was genuine and could not be faked. It was definitely not an illusion.
Chrysanthemum Douluo took the letter and read it quickly. His face also changed as he realized the truth. He looked at Ghost Douluo, who was standing nearby. They both saw how serious the situation was.
Chrysanthemum Douluo then asked the Supreme Pontiff if he and Ghost Douluo should go to Heaven Dou City themselves. He wanted to know if they should take care of the child now. He did not finish his sentence, but it was clear he wanted to kill the boy before he became too strong.
Bibi Dong waved her hand and made a cold sound. She told them that the two of them alone could not defeat Tang Hao. She warned them that if they ran into Tang Hao, they might not even be able to escape with their lives, let alone finish the mission. She stood up and walked to a window, looking out toward the direction of Heaven Dou City. She began to think about the situation logically.
She explained that the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament was happening right now. Many powerful groups were gathered in the city. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Royal Family were watching everything very closely.
If Spirit Hall sent Titled Douluo-level fighters to act there, they would likely be caught. If their identities were revealed, it would make the two great Empires work together against Spirit Hall. This would ruin the grand plans Spirit Hall had for the future.
Ghost Douluo, who had been quiet until now, spoke up. His voice sounded a bit panicked. He asked if they were really just going to watch as a boy who hated Spirit Hall grew up.
He reminded her that the boy was the son of Tang Hao and that woman. Ghost Douluo was very worried because he remembered being part of the group that hunted the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin, years ago.
He knew that if Tang Hao's son grew up and became powerful, he would come for revenge. Given the boy's amazing potential, their future would be very dark.
Bibi Dong laughed coldly. She asked why they thought she would ever let such a threat grow up. She noted that if the boy united the Star Luo and Heaven Dou Empires against Spirit Hall, all her plans for world unification would be in danger.
She stood up again, and a heavy, scary feeling filled the room. A cold intent to kill appeared in her eyes. She said that since they could not act inside Heaven Dou City, they would simply wait for him to leave.
Chrysanthemum Douluo understood her plan immediately. His eyes lit up with excitement and a mean look. He asked if she meant they should attack on the way to Spirit City for the grand finals.
He made a motion with his hand across his neck to show he meant killing the boy. Bibi Dong nodded with a cold smile. She confirmed that the team would have to come to Spirit City for the finals.
At that time, she would lead all the Elders of the Supreme Pontiff Palace to act. They would set a trap that no one could escape from. She planned to kill the boy and anyone who tried to protect him.
At the same time, in the Hall of Worship in Spirit City, the mood was also serious. Qian Daoliu listened to a report from Snake Lance Douluo, She Long. Usually, Qian Daoliu was very calm and did not care about much, but this news changed his expression.
He stood up from his seat, and his golden eyes were full of shock. His voice shook slightly as he asked if it was true that a fourteen-year-old boy had reached the Spirit King level. He couldn't believe the ring configuration was two purple and three black rings.
He was even more shocked to hear that a Golden-eyed Black Dragon, as strong as an Ultimate Douluo, was protecting the boy. He kept saying the name of the dragon over and over while thinking hard.
He searched his memories for any information about such a creature. As he thought, he became even more worried. A small feeling of fear, which he tried to hide, appeared in his eyes.
Meanwhile, back in Heaven Dou City, the Great Spirit Arena was full of people. Everyone was excited about the tournament. The preliminary matches were happening every day.
The Shrek Academy team walked into the arena like they always did. They were wearing their bright, poop-green uniforms with the letters "GG" on them. People started pointing and whispering about how ugly the uniforms were.
However, some people noticed a new person in the team today. This new student looked very different from the others. He was tall, handsome, and had sharp eyes.
He wore a blue outfit that did not match the green Shrek style at all. This was Yu Tianheng, a famous member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
After the Royal Fight Team had broken up, the members went to different places. Yu Tianheng could have gone to Thunder Academy because his family supported that school. However, his cousin, Yu Tianxin, was already there.
Both of them were the best young members of their clan, and they always competed against each other. Yu Tianheng was a proud person and did not want to fight his cousin for the top spot in the same school.
After thinking about it, he chose to join Lan Ba Academy. This school was started by his aunt, Liu Erlong, and it had been renamed Shrek Academy. Even though the Shrek uniforms were strange and the team had lost badly before, he knew the students were actually strong.
Yu Tianheng believed that by joining Shrek, he had a good chance of reaching the top three in the tournament. If he did well here, he would have an advantage over his cousin in the family competition. He stood with his new team, ready to show his power to the world.
