The appearance of Xue Tianxing is undoubtedly a huge threat to her plans—a Soul Emperor with extraordinary talent and angelic bloodline, if he grows up, will become the biggest obstacle to her annihilation of the angel race.
Bibi Dong took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the killing intent in her heart, her face remaining calm, only her eyes becoming even more profound:
"So that's how it is... I never expected that Xue Tianxing would have such a background."
However, Qian Daoliu, do you really think that just because of a bloodline, you can guarantee that he will always stand on the side of the Spirit Hall?
"You can't see into someone's heart. He's a prince of the Barak Kingdom now, but he might not agree with the mission of the angels in the future."
Qian Daoliu saw the fleeting killing intent in Bibi Dong's eyes, understood, but didn't point it out. He simply said:
"I have my ways of confirming all of that. You just need to remember, don't do anything to Xue Tianxing. Otherwise, don't blame me, the Grand Elder, for being impolite to you."
After saying that, Qian Daoliu stopped looking at Bibi Dong and turned to walk towards the entrance of the Papal Palace.
His figure gradually disappeared outside the hall, leaving only Bibi Dong standing there, the killing intent in her eyes so real it almost froze the entire Papal Palace.
"Angel bloodline... Xue Tianxing..."
Bibi Dong murmured softly, a cold smile playing on her lips, and then continued:
"Even if you have Qian Daoliu and Yu Tian protecting you, even if you are a descendant of the angel race, if you stand in my way, I will make sure you die a horrible death!"
Then Bibi Dong walked to the papal throne and pressed a hidden compartment on the armrest. A dark figure instantly appeared in the hall and knelt on one knee.
"Your Holiness, what are your orders?"
A ruthless glint flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes as she coldly said:
"Keep a close eye on Xue Tianxing's movements and look for the right opportunity. I want him dead. Remember, do it cleanly and efficiently, and don't let Qian Daoliu find out."
"yes!"
The dark figure responded, then vanished from the hall in a flash.
Silence returned to the papal palace. Bibi Dong stood before the throne, gazing into the distance with a somber expression.
A conspiracy surrounding Xue Tianxing is quietly unfolding once again, and this time it is even more dangerous than before.
The day of the Soul Master Competition finally arrived, and the entire Spirit City was immersed in a boiling atmosphere.
Before dawn, the main arena in the center of the Spirit Hall was already packed with spirit masters and spectators from all over the continent, all eager to witness the opening of this epic showdown.
The announcement of the schedule for the first day of the competition was particularly exciting for everyone – the two key battles covered almost all the most talked-about power conflicts and family feuds on the mainland.
The first match was between Barak Academy and Tiandou Royal Soul Master Academy.
Nowadays, no one on the mainland sees this competition as merely a contest between academies.
The Barak Kingdom has risen at a terrifying speed in recent years, with its territory constantly expanding and its economic and military strength increasing rapidly. It is no longer the small kingdom that relied on the Tiandou Empire. In fact, many people privately call it the "Barak Empire".
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Dou Empire gradually declined, with numerous internal factions and a continuous weakening of the royal authority.
This match was more like a public declaration of power between a rising new force and a declining old empire.
The second key match was between the dark horse Shrek Academy and the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy.
Since the start of the competition, Shrek Academy has overcome all obstacles, surprising everyone with its unconventional tactics and tenacious fighting spirit, becoming the biggest dark horse of this competition.
The Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy represents the face of the Star Luo Empire's royal family, possessing formidable strength and profound heritage. What viewers are even more excited about is the appearance of Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing from Shrek Academy. After several appearances in various matches, their identities as members of the Star Luo Empire's royal family have already been guessed by everyone—Dai Mubai is the second prince of the Star Luo Empire, and Zhu Zhuqing is the daughter of the Zhu Family Village. Their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, "Netherworld White Tiger," has left a deep impression on everyone.
The team leader of the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy was none other than the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire, Davis, and his fiancée, Zhu Zhuqing's older sister, Zhu Lu.
There was already a struggle for the throne between Davis and Dai Mubai; Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Lu were rivals within their own families.
This match was practically an extension of the power struggle within the Star Luo Empire's royal family. Everyone wanted to know if Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, without the support of royal resources, could defeat Davis and Zhu Lu, who held the rightful advantage. Xue Tianxing stood in the rest area of Barak Academy, his heart also filled with curiosity.
He knew that in the original novel, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing relied on the immortal herbs given to them by Tang San to break through their bottlenecks and gain the upper hand in their battles against Davis and Zhu Lu.
But the plot has changed. Tang San not only doesn't have any immortal herbs, but Zhu Zhuqing is still just a Soul Master.
Without the boost from the immortal herbs, it remains to be seen whether Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing can surpass Davis and Zhu Lu in strength.
"Let's go, it's our turn."
Xue Tianxing straightened his team uniform and spoke to Shui Bing'er and the others.
Everyone nodded and followed Xue Tianxing toward the center of the arena.
When the Barak Academy team appeared at the entrance of the arena, the entire Soul Arena erupted in thunderous cheers and murmurs. The stands were packed, and even the aisles were crowded with people.
The Spirit Hall's "Golden Generation"—Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan—also sat in their designated seats, their eyes fixed on Xue Tianxing, filled with vigilance and curiosity.
They wanted to see just how powerful this Soul Emperor, whom Bibi Dong considered a threat and who received special treatment from Qian Daoliu, really was.
Xue Tianxing's gaze swept across the stands and he quickly noticed two distinctive figures—Ning Fengzhi and Bibi Dong.
Ning Fengzhi sat in the center of the VIP section, with Sword Douluo Chen Xin beside him. He nodded gently to Xue Tianxing, his eyes filled with admiration.
Bibi Dong sat in the papal seat at a higher position. Her black papal robes accentuated her cold and stern face. Her gaze was like a cold blade, fixed on Xue Tianxing, and the killing intent within it was almost overflowing.
Those around Bibi Dong either bowed respectfully to her or subconsciously avoided her gaze, but Xue Tianxing showed no fear whatsoever.
Xue Tianxing stopped, raised his head, and met Bibi Dong's gaze with a calm yet scrutinizing look—he knew Bibi Dong's murderous intent towards him, and he also understood that a showdown between the two was inevitable sooner or later, so there was no need to deliberately show weakness.
Bibi Dong saw that Xue Tianxing not only did not dodge, but dared to look her directly in the eye, and the killing intent in her eyes intensified.
