The square in front of the Hall of Spirits and the Papal Palace.
The moon and stars shone brightly, and the clear night sky was cloudless. The clouds that had surrounded the Spirit Hall had also dissipated considerably. Standing here, one could still see the lights of thousands of households in Spirit City.
"Let's display it here."
A faint smile played on Bibi Dong's delicate face as she pointed with her jade-like hand, "I'm really looking forward to your performance."
The high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall stood in twos and threes around, their eyes darting back and forth between the noble and beautiful figure and the white-haired youth, their eyes full of curiosity and inquiry.
Normally, such a small matter only requires two people to supervise and verify it, but since the Pope was the first to come out, what's the point if they don't?
This is the first time I've seen the new pope value someone so much.
Considering the outstanding performance of the young man in the hall just now, those who initially scoffed at Chrysanthemum Douluo's words were now somewhat skeptical.
Those with quick minds have shifting eyes, indicating they already have other plans.
"Wait, Your Holiness the Pope."
The Light Feather Douluo stepped forward again, regaining his extraordinary demeanor. His handsome face was adorned with a smile, a stark contrast to his earlier angry and distorted appearance.
"Just showing it off isn't convincing enough. How about I add a prize?"
It's here!
Everyone perked up, knowing that this honorific would not let the matter rest.
"oh?"
His Holiness the Pope frowned slightly. "What kind of prize would you like to add, Venerable Guangling?"
Buzz—
A subtle fluctuation of soul power flashed by, and Light Feather Douluo waved his hand gently, and a dark red crystal appeared in his hand.
That is…
Chrysanthemum Douluo narrowed his eyes, then his expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise, "A soul bone?"
Soul Bone?
Upon hearing the name, Su Chen's spirits lifted, and he couldn't help but look over as well.
It is dark red all over, crystal clear, and has a fiery and powerful aura flowing through it, like a beautiful work of art.
As expected of a Soul Master's treasure, even though Su Chen's soul power is currently too weak to see anything, he can still sense that once he absorbs this soul bone, his physique and soul power will be greatly improved.
In addition, he seemed to sense a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling within it, but he wasn't quite sure.
If it really is that kind of thing, then we absolutely have to get this soul bone.
"Hiss, judging from its color and soul power fluctuations, it is probably a soul bone that is at least nine thousand years old, or even ten thousand years old!"
"Judging by this shape, could it be the right leg bone?"
"As expected of the Lightfeather Elder, he actually took out a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone!"
Everyone was astonished and began to discuss it amongst themselves.
Ten-thousand-year soul bones are extremely rare, and even for a titled Douluo, they are treasures that greatly enhance one's abilities. If placed in the outside world, they would be fought over fiercely, causing a bloodbath.
But the Light Feather Douluo, is just being used as a prize in a showcase?
this.
Everyone sensed that something unusual was going on.
"Your Holiness, how about this prize?"
With a smile on his face, the handsome young man, Guangling Douluo, gently placed the soul bone on the stone platform in front of him.
"Elder Guangling is truly generous, but isn't it a bit too precious to bring out a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone for such childish play?"
Her Holiness the Pope's red lips twitched slightly, and she gave Guangling Douluo a deep look with her beautiful eyes.
"Why don't you tell me how you plan to have this little guy demonstrate?"
She did not agree, or rather, she had already begun to find ways to refuse.
The fact that the Light Feather Douluo was willing to bring out something like this probably means he was prepared to make it impossible for Su Chen to obtain it.
"It's very simple."
The handsome young man in the light gray robe blinked, and the ice flowers on his single eye scattered and fell, causing the surrounding temperature to drop several degrees.
He smiled and held up one finger, revealing his gleaming white teeth.
"If this child can withstand his attacks for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, then no matter what, this ten-thousand-year-old spirit fire fox's soul bone will be his."
After speaking, Guangling Douluo clapped his hands, and a tall, middle-aged man walked out from behind him with his head down.
"how?"
Guangling Douluo looked at Bibi Dong, and finally fixed his gaze on Su Chen.
Chrysanthemum Douluo frowned and sensed it for a moment, then his expression changed drastically. He pulled Su Chen behind him and couldn't help but angrily say, "Using a Soul Master to test a Soul Venerable, how shameless of you!!"
Soul Sect?
The crowd gasped, and all eyes turned to look. After a moment, the expressions on the faces of those looking at Guangling Douluo were rather strange.
It really is the Soul Sect!
No wonder they dared to bring out a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, how shameless!
This isn't about whether we can get it or not; they want the child dead!
"Didn't you say this child has a thousand-year soul ring? It just so happens that my subordinate's talent is mediocre; his fourth ring is only a thousand years old. Besides, he only lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, not defeated. For a genius whose first ring is a thousand years old, it shouldn't be a problem, right? Also..."
The smiling expression of the Light Feather Douluo suddenly turned cold, and a huge and surging aura rushed towards the Chrysanthemum Douluo!
"Who do you think you are, daring to talk to me like that?!"
A high-ranking Title Douluo, the fifth elder of the Spirit Hall, suddenly revealed his terrifying power!
"Pfft!!"
Caught off guard, Chrysanthemum Douluo turned pale and spat out a mouthful of blood. His aura instantly weakened, and he staggered. If Ghost Douluo hadn't reacted quickly and released his aura to block for a moment, Yue Guan would probably have collapsed to the ground.
"presumptuous!"
An even larger surge of soul power emerged, blocking the aura of the Light Feather Douluo. The Ghost Douluo, who had been struggling to hold on, suddenly relaxed and almost fell to the ground.
On the contrary, Su Chen, thanks to the deliberate protection of the group, was not affected at all.
Is this the strength of a high-level Title Douluo? Indeed, they are not to be underestimated.
The boy's expression was somewhat serious.
It seems we need to take extra precautions against this person.
Her Holiness the Pope's beautiful eyes were filled with icy killing intent, her long pink-gradient hair fluttered without wind, and a huge spider phantom appeared and disappeared behind her, exuding an extremely terrifying aura.
"Elder Guangling, what do you mean by this?"
Click!
The hard bricks screamed under the impact of sheer force, and countless cracks gradually spread. However, when that force reached its critical point, it stopped as if by some unspoken agreement.
The tense atmosphere between the two sides gradually dissipated, and the onlookers wiped the cold sweat from their brows and breathed a sigh of relief.
One is the new pope, and the other is a long-time supporter of the angelic lineage.
If these two really start fighting, they really don't know what to do.
"I apologize, Your Holiness the Pope. I was merely reprimanding a junior who lacked respect for hierarchy."
This woman has actually become so much stronger?
Damn, she's so young.
Guangling cupped his hands in greeting, a hint of apprehension flashing in his single eye.
"I hope this doesn't happen again."
Bibi Dong said coldly.
"Furthermore, this child will not compete with your Soul Sect."
I knew that old man was up to no good!
How dare you say such shameless things? The fourth ring is only worth a thousand years, the first three are just for show, right?
"Wait, Your Holiness, shouldn't we consult the person involved in this matter?"
The gloomy expression vanished as Guangling Douluo looked at Su Chen with a smile.
"So, are you willing?"
From the moment he started watching, he noticed that the boy had been staring intently at the soul bone in his hand.
That's true. Even a titled Douluo would be tempted by a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, let alone a child.
As expected, he heard Su Chen's reply.
"Of course I'm willing."
