A few days later, Spirit City, Supreme Pontiff Palace.
In the grand and solemn hall, Bibi Dong sat on the Supreme Pontiff's throne, symbolizing supreme power. At this moment, she held a secret letter that had just been urgently sent from the distant Heaven Dou City.
As she quickly scanned the contents of the letter, the calm in her deep purple eyes was instantly shattered, replaced by a strong look of astonishment and disbelief!
The next second, Bibi Dong suddenly stood up from the throne, her luxurious Supreme Pontiff's robe swaying violently with the abrupt movement.
She looked down from above at a Cardinal kneeling on the ground in the center of the hall, her voice carrying a sharpness she herself hadn't noticed, and demanded sharply:
"What? A fourteen-year-old Spirit King! spirit ring configuration is two purple and three black? And he's Tang Hao's son?! His Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass?!"
"This... how is this possible?!"
Her voice echoed through the hall, full of absurdity.
Hearing this, the Cardinal kneeling below trembled, lowered his head even further, and stammered in a terrified and certain voice:
"Reporting... Reporting to Your Holiness the Supreme Pontiff, the news... has been repeatedly confirmed and is absolutely correct. This Soul Master named Tang Chuan has publicly displayed his true strength in the first match after the opening ceremony of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament. Tens of thousands of eyes throughout the arena... personally witnessed his abnormal spirit ring configuration..."
Her fingers holding the letter tightened slightly, her knuckles turning a little white. Then, she slowly sat back on the throne, but the shock in her eyes remained undiminished, and she murmured in a low voice:
"This... how is this possible? His first spirit ring is a thousand-year, and his third spirit ring directly jumped to a ten-thousand-year... and it's a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. Could it be a God Position Legacy..."
Speaking of this, her gaze gradually became sharp, like a poisonous spider discovering its prey, "It seems this kid... is not just deeply hidden."
Just then, Chrysanthemum Douluo, who was standing beside Bibi Dong, suddenly stepped forward. He twirled his orchid fingers, and his sharp voice carried a hint of speculation:
"Your Holiness the Supreme Pontiff, you mean... could this kid have used some clever illusion-type Soul Skill, or does he possess a Soul Bone that modified the color of his spirit rings, creating a ruse?"
"I once heard the previous Supreme Pontiff mention that among the six Angel God Suit Soul Bones inherited by our Spirit Hall, there is a head Soul Bone that possesses the miraculous ability to disguise spirit ring colors."
Bibi Dong slowly shook her head upon hearing this, directly handing the letter in her hand to Chrysanthemum Douluo, and said in a low tone: "See for yourself. Salas specifically mentioned in the letter that he carefully sensed the Soul Power fluctuations on Tang Chuan's body at the time. The solidity of his Soul Power Rank, especially the Origin pressure emanating from that ten-thousand-year spirit ring, cannot be faked; it is absolutely not an illusion."
Chrysanthemum Douluo took the letter and quickly scanned it, his expression also changing slightly.
Then, he put down the letter and exchanged glances with Ghost Douluo beside him, both seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes.
"Your Holiness the Supreme Pontiff, if that is the case, then should Old Ghost and I personally go to Heaven Dou City? To... this child..." Chrysanthemum Douluo's tone carried a hint of seeking instructions.
He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear: he wanted to nip it in the bud.
Hearing this, Bibi Dong waved her hand and snorted coldly:
"Hmph, with the strength of just the two of you, can you be Tang Hao's opponent? If you run into him, let alone completing the mission, whether you can retreat safely will be a problem."
She stood up, walked to the window, and looked towards Heaven Dou City, analyzing calmly:
"Moreover, it is currently the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament. Various forces are gathered in Heaven Dou City, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Tiandou Royal Family are closely monitoring the surrounding changes."
"If we rashly send Titled Douluo-level powerhouses to act there, once our identities are exposed, it will alert them and cause the two Empires to become vigilant and unite. This would absolutely not be a good thing for our Spirit Hall's grand plan in the future."
"Your Holiness the Supreme Pontiff, then... can we only watch as a scoundrel with a deep hatred for our Spirit Hall grows up? He is the son of Tang Hao and that woman!"
Hearing this, Ghost Douluo, who had been silent not far away, couldn't help but interject, his voice carrying a hint of imperceptible urgency and panic.
Ghost Douluo was indeed panicked.
He clearly remembered that he and Yue Guan were among the main participants in the hunt for the hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin back then.
If Tang Hao's eldest son were truly allowed to grow up, given Tang Hao's vengeful personality and Tang Chuan's terrifying potential now being displayed.
Their future fate would definitely be extremely miserable!
"Let him? How could I possibly let such a threat grow up?" Hearing this, Bibi Dong's voice carried a hint of mockery, and she sneered:
"If he were to unite the Star Luo and Heaven Dou Empires to jointly oppose our Spirit Hall in the future, wouldn't my years of planning for unification be fraught with countless variables?"
As she spoke, she slowly stood up from the throne again, an oppressive aura emanating from her. At the same time, a cold killing intent flashed undisguised in her eyes.
"Since we, Spirit Hall, are constrained by the current situation and cannot act within Heaven Dou City, what if he... leaves Heaven Dou City?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this, and he instantly understood Bibi Dong's intention. His sharp voice carried excitement and sinister ruthlessness:
"Your Holiness the Supreme Pontiff, do you mean on their way to Spirit City for the grand finals?"
As he spoke, he made a killing gesture across his neck with his hand.
The meaning was obvious.
Bibi Dong nodded slightly, a cold arc forming at the corner of her mouth, and said:
"That's right! They will definitely come to Spirit City for the grand finals."
"At that time, I will personally lead all the Elders of the Supreme Pontiff Palace to act together! We will set up an inescapable net and utterly... eliminate this threat, along with anyone who might protect him!"
...At the same time, Spirit City, Hall of Worship.
In the solemn and sacred hall, after listening to Snake Lance Douluo She Long's detailed report, Qian Daoliu, who had always been as steady as a mountain and seemingly unconcerned by anything, instantly changed his expression!
He suddenly stood up from his seat, his golden eyes, containing endless majesty, filled with disbelief, and his voice carried an imperceptible tremor, saying:
"What?! You said that child named Tang Chuan, at only fourteen years old, has already reached the Spirit King Realm? And his spirit ring configuration is... two purple and three black?!"
"Moreover, there is also a Golden-eyed Black Dragon comparable to an Ultimate Douluo protecting him?!"
"This... how is this possible!?"
Qian Daoliu repeatedly muttered the words "Golden-eyed Black Dragon," his brows tightly furrowed, seemingly searching intensely through the vast river of his memories.
Then, his expression grew increasingly solemn.
A hint of dread, which he himself hadn't even noticed, even flashed through his eyes... At this moment, within Heaven Dou City.
The Great Spirit Arena was bustling with people, and the atmosphere was lively.
The Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament preliminaries were in full swing.
The Shrek Academy team, as usual, walked into the competition venue wearing their extremely eye-catching, poop-green uniforms with "GG" written on them, immediately attracting many pointing fingers and whispers.
However, careful observers would notice.
Today, there was a new face with an extraordinary temperament in the Shrek Academy team.
This person was tall and straight, with a handsome face and sharp eyes, wearing a blue outfit that was completely out of place with the Shrek style. It was none other than Yu Tianheng, the direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
It turned out that after the Royal Fight Team disbanded, the former members had already gone their separate ways.
Yu Tianheng could have originally entered Thunder Academy through his Family connections, as it was a force supported by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
However, his cousin, Yu Tianxin, who was equally gifted, was already at Thunder Academy.
Both were the most outstanding juniors in the Family, and there had always been fierce competition between them.
Yu Tianheng, who had always been proud, naturally did not want to go to Thunder Academy to compete with Yu Tianxin for the single core position in the team. After weighing the pros and cons, he ultimately chose Lan Ba Academy, founded by his aunt Liu Erlong, which is now the renamed Shrek Academy.
After all, although Shrek Academy's uniforms were bizarre and its reputation had suffered somewhat due to the initial crushing defeat, he still recognized the strength of its team members.
In Yu Tianheng's opinion, joining Shrek Academy, while not guaranteed to win the final championship, still held great hope for reaching the top three.
Such a result would be enough to give him a clear advantage over his cousin Yu Tianxin in Thunder Academy in the internal Family competition.
