Martial Soul Hall.
As Qian Daoliu entered the Pope Hall, Bibi Dong, who was somewhat dejected, immediately straightened up.
Qian Daoliu knew that Bibi Dong was also a pitiful person, obviously hurt by Qianren Xue's words earlier.
Qian Daoliu said, "Pope, believe me, Xue'er will reconcile with you sooner or later. Even though she often argues with you, she understands in her heart."
Bibi Dong didn't want to discuss this, apologetically saying, "Honored Guest Elder, I wrongly accused you earlier. Perhaps there really were important matters, so you couldn't afford to die."
Bibi Dong felt she was rude last time, directly accusing Great Tributor of being scared of the Apocalypse Black Dragon, cowardly. But this time, Great Tributor acted, although he didn't confront Ye Yu, it showed he wasn't cowardly.
Qian Daoliu shook his head, "It's nothing, I'm afraid of the Apocalypse Black Dragon, but I'm truly not afraid to die, only that the death must be worthwhile. In this life, even if I die, I fear I won't be able to break through to that level, so I can only place hope on Xue'er. I will make her the youngest god in history on the continent, one that none can surpass in the future."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong was surprised.
"Honored Guest Elder, what are you going to do? Are you going to..."
"Hmm, maybe it can succeed. Our recent actions have repeatedly failed. We can only place hope in you and Xue'er now and cannot give Ye Yu and others more time. You and Xue'er must become gods as soon as possible."
Bibi Dong nodded, "Hmm, after becoming a god, the first thing will be to kill Ye Yu."
"There's something else I must tell you, Xue'er has someone she likes, or rather, loves."
Bibi Dong stiffened and asked, "Who is it?"
In her heart, she was happy but also concerned, not wanting her daughter to end up like herself. Love is beautiful but also cruel, capable of immense pain.
Qian Daoliu sighed, "That person is Ye Yu."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression changed, her brows furrowed, "Is it because they spent half a year together in the Blood God Trial?"
"Hmm, it should have started around then. However, I've asked Xue'er; after becoming a god, if she can kill Ye Yu, she won't show mercy."
Bibi Dong sighed lightly, "Won't relent, that's what she says, but in reality, it won't be easy."
Having personally experienced such a love, Bibi Dong understood best. Like asking her to kill Yu Xiaogang without mercy, she could say it, but to truly do it, she knew in her heart, she couldn't.
Bibi Dong said, "Let Xue'er forget about that Ye Yu, no matter what means."
Qian Daoliu hesitated, "This..."
"I'm doing it for her own good, I know the pain of being hurt by love, I don't want her to experience that pain."
"Hmm, understood. You continue your retreat. I believe when you become a god, Xue'er will too."
...
Shrek Academy.
The Master said to Ning Fengzhi, "Did Sect Leader Ning come to terms?"
Ning Fengzhi smiled wryly, "Even if I don't come to terms, Rongrong will find a way out, just like before when she went to Shrek Academy alone. Rongrong also wants to grow under pressure, and most importantly, she wants to be with someone."
As Ning Fengzhi finished talking, Ning Rongrong on the side glared at Ning Fengzhi. Since Ye Yu wasn't there, she didn't blush.
Tang San and the others were discussing events of the past few years, and when Dai Mubai learned that Xiao Wu was nearly captured by the people of Martial Soul Hall and Tang San nearly died, he was extremely furious.
"Damn Martial Soul Hall." Dai Mubai's eyes flashed coldly.
The Seven Monsters were all deeply resentful of Martial Soul Hall. Without Ye Yu, Xiao Wu and Tang San would have been dead. And without Ye Yu during the Soul Hunting Operation, Rongrong's family would also be no more.
The Master said, "You Seven Monsters are gathered this time, five years have passed, you all need to understand each other's strengths."
Tang San said, "Are we going to have a team battle?"
"Hmm, you need to gel as a team."
The Master said to Sword Douluo, "Elder Jian, you serve as their opponent, please."
Hearing this, the Seven Monsters, including Tang San, were shocked. Sword Douluo as their opponent?!
Sword Douluo had just broken through to level 97, not only a Titled Douluo but also a powerful one within their ranks, able to battle even those at level 98. Moreover, Sword Douluo was known as the continent's number one attack Douluo.
Ma Hongjun said, "Having Elder Jian as our opponent? This is... a bit outrageous, isn't it? How about Dean Flande, Teacher Zhao Wuji, and Sect Leader Ning for support, against us Seven Monsters?"
The Master shook his head, "You not only need familiarity among yourselves, find your former cooperation, but also need pressure. After all, you are going to Sea God Island."
Ma Hongjun nodded, "Alright then."
Ning Rongrong said, "Grandpa Jian, please go easy on us later."
Sword Douluo said seriously, "Since I'm your opponent, I won't hold back. If I do so now, when you face crises on Sea God Island, the opponents there will not go easy."
Though he said that, Sword Douluo certainly didn't want Rongrong hurt, reminding them, "Rongrong is support, so you must protect her later. This is a basic understanding in every team battle, to protect the support."
Tang San and the others naturally understood, facing Sword Douluo, they must protect Rongrong, without Rongrong, the Six Monsters wouldn't be able to fight. After all, Rongrong's Nine Treasures Glaze Tower augmentation could drastically enhance their overall strength.
The Seven Monsters positioned themselves, with Dai Mubai and Xiao Wu at the front, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu behind, followed by Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Ning Rongrong.
Because Oscar had Supporting Mirror Image Sausage, the task of protecting the support fell to him. Dai Mubai had already given Oscar a drop of his blood to let him possess eighty percent of his strength.
Flande, Zhao Wuji, Ning Fengzhi, and the Master were watching around.
Ning Fengzhi sensed the aura emanating from the Seven Monsters and said, "With such a lineup, even we four together would likely be defeated."
The Master nodded, "Indeed, as each is a monster, possessing extraordinary combat power. When they coordinate, they have even greater power."
Zhao Wuji couldn't help but recall six years ago.
"When they first came to the academy, even their combined strength wasn't my match, now the gap between us has widened, these children have grown so fast."
Sword Douluo took a step forward, facing the Seven Monsters.
As Sword Douluo moved, his aura changed dramatically, becoming extremely sharp, the surrounding air slightly distorted.
The sharp aura caused the Seven Monsters to change color, Ning Rongrong directly applied support soul skills to Tang San, Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ma Hongjun, raising the team's morale.
The Master from a distance observed Sword Douluo, feeling as though his sharp aura could slice his body open, knowing without a doubt if he faced it directly as the Seven Monsters were, he'd be ripped apart.
Evidently, Sword Douluo was serious, not holding back.
Dai Mubai's body expanded, a white tiger shadow appeared behind him, his clothes tearing to reveal muscular skin, six soul rings rhythmically glowing around him.
Simultaneously, others released their martial souls, Dai Mubai having the highest soul power among the Seven Monsters at level 65.
Among the Seven Monsters, apart from Ma Hongjun being a Five-Ring Soul King, the others were Six-Ring Soul Emperors.
Ma Hongjun was nearing level 59 and would soon become a Six-Ring Soul Emperor.
The Seven Monsters were fully prepared, poised to act.
Sword Douluo said sternly, "Then let's begin! Let me guide you!"
At this moment, just as Sword Douluo was about to take action, a sudden voice interrupted:
"Wait a moment."
Sword Douluo turned at the sound to see Ye Yu, a faint smile on his face.
"Elder Jian is going to guide us, how could I miss out?"
Sword Douluo's expression shifted, quickly responding, "You...you stay back!"
