The reliable Porcupine Douluo left the Spirit Hall and headed straight for the stands set up by Lin Yi.
As he walked, he muttered to himself, "Speaking of which, that kid who tried to kill himself really has a lot of guts."
The stands are built on the main road that must be passed through to enter and exit the Spirit Hall. If the crowds block the passage of the main road, wouldn't that be tantamount to going against the Spirit Hall in the long run?
It seems this young man won't stay here for long. At most, he'll maintain his popularity for a day or two before the Spirit Hall sees him as a thorn in their side and eliminates him, thought the Porcupine Douluo to himself.
Upon arrival, however, the Porcupine Douluo realized he had underestimated the boy's allure...
Holy crap!
The Porcupine Douluo stood there, staring blankly at the scene before him.
"Are all of these people just watching?"
I thought the boy's suicide attempt was just a minor incident, but looking at the scene before me, it seems like half the Soul Masters of Wuhun City have come to join in the fun!
It's just suicide, is it really that interesting?
Not only were the main roads completely blocked, but even the side streets were packed with people!
Some people even sat on the rooftops by the roadside to watch, and there were even small groups of flying Soul Masters flying in the sky.
Damn it, the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire is coming with his envoys tomorrow. If this road is blocked, how are they supposed to pass?
Don't let the Heaven Dou Empire think that the Spirit City is full of idle spirit masters who do nothing all day!
We need to get rid of this boy quickly; I suspect His Holiness the Pope is thinking the same thing.
When Bibi Dong gave him her orders, she said she was coming to find out the truth, but her face clearly showed that she wanted him to come and expose the boy...
The Porcupine Douluo naturally had to obey the Pope's orders, since he was always considered reliable in the Pope's eyes, and he couldn't betray the Pope's trust.
Speaking of which... where are Elders Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo?
The Porcupine Douluo scanned the area but didn't see the two of them.
At that moment, he suddenly sensed two powerful soul energy fluctuations colliding wildly in front of him.
Having worked together in the Spirit Hall for so long, the Porcupine Douluo was quite familiar with the auras of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
Could it be... that they exposed the boy's scam and are now teaching him a lesson?
No wonder he hasn't come back yet!
"Make way, make way, the Spirit Hall is handling official business, everyone make way!"
The Porcupine Douluo quickly pushed aside the Soul Masters watching in front of him, shouting as he squeezed his way in, wanting to go up and help.
But then I felt something was off. Why would it take this long to discipline a kid? Could it be that he couldn't beat me?
But when he saw the scene right in the middle, he was dumbfounded...
This isn't about disciplining the boy at all.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo are clearly fighting each other!
The Porcupine Douluo turned his head in surprise, only to see that the young man was sitting upright on the stands, his expression seemingly revealing a hint of... regret?
really--
Lin Yi watched Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo fight each other, and his heart bled.
How wonderful it would be if all these soul skills could hit me!
All that damage was wasted!
Besides, is the record for the highest damage in history really that important?
That was just something he said offhand...
"Both of you, stop right now!"
"Porcupine Douluo, unable to bear it any longer, shouted!"
Having been inseparable for so many years, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo even have basically similar damage for each of their soul skills.
Their soul skills were constantly being neutralized by the opponent, so they simply went forward and engaged in hand-to-hand combat, grappling with each other.
The image of the Porcupine Douluo was simply unbearable to watch. Was this something a Spirit Hall elder would do?
This is an eyesore! It's truly an eyesore!
"Stop! Stop it! Stop fighting!"
The Porcupine Douluo shouted angrily.
Fortunately, the eldest prince of the Heaven Dou Empire was not invited to the Spirit Hall today. Otherwise, if he had seen this scene, where would the Spirit Hall have put its face?
Chrysanthemum Douluo was choking Ghost Douluo by the neck, while Ghost Douluo was prying open Chrysanthemum Douluo's thigh. The two of them stopped their philosophically-inspired behavior and looked towards the Porcupine Douluo.
"Elder Pufferfish?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo glared fiercely at Ghost Douluo: "Since Elder Porcupine has arrived, I'll let you off the hook for now!"
"Heh, I won't attack you before you attack my senior, you damn chrysanthemum, always trying to take advantage of me!"
"Who was the first to disregard martial ethics and unleash their fifth soul skill?!"
"...Pah!"
The two glared at each other, finally separated, dusted themselves off, and walked towards the Porcupine Douluo.
"Elder Pufferfish, what brings you here?"
Ghost Douluo asked in confusion.
Elder Porcupine looked gloomy, feeling ashamed to stand next to these two guys, his prestige plummeting.
"Elders, have you forgotten the mission His Holiness the Pope sent you here?"
"Of course we haven't forgotten. Just tell His Majesty to wait patiently for our news at the Spirit Hall!"
"Chrysanthemum Douluo said impatiently."
Upon hearing this, the Porcupine Douluo's eyes widened.
Chrysanthemum Douluo, are you out of your mind?!
How could you say such blasphemous things so casually?
That's His Holiness the Pope!
Apart from the Grand Elder, who in the entire Spirit Hall would dare not respect her!
Do you know what you're saying?
The Porcupine Douluo glared at the Chrysanthemum Douluo.
At this moment, Ghost Douluo said confidently, "Elder Porcupine, do you believe it or not, when the two of us bring the news back, the entire Spirit Hall, including His Holiness the Pope and even the Grand Elder, will be captivated by that young man's charm!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded slightly, secretly glanced in Lin Yi's direction, and whispered, "The Spirit Hall has struck gold this time. We should be glad that this young man appeared in Spirit City, rather than within the territory of the two great empires."
"Be happy my ass! Look at yourselves now, aren't you all bewitched?!"
The Porcupine Douluo was furious.
If he weren't outnumbered by the two of them, he would have loved to teach those two idiots a lesson on behalf of His Holiness the Pope!
Chrysanthemum Douluo then gave a "I'm only telling you this because you're my brother" look and pulled Porcupine Douluo aside.
"Elder Pufferfish, believe me, if you go up and attack that boy now, you will have unexpected gains!"
"Get the hell out of here!"
The Porcupine Douluo was so angry that his hair stood on end, like steel needles.
"You think I'm like you two unreliable guys? Believing in this crooked stuff? I'm here to do His Holiness the Pope's bidding!"
The Porcupine Douluo spoke with a very reliable air.
He grew angrier as he spoke, pointing at Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo: "Just wait, I'll report to His Holiness the Pope right away what you two have done!"
Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo nonchalantly picked their noses, appearing completely unaware of their mistakes.
Chrysanthemum Douluo even pointed in Lin Yi's direction with a blank expression.
"Piglet, hit him, and then think carefully about whether you want to take back what you just said."
Elder Porcupine glared at him: "I'm putting my words here! There's no going back! You two just wait for His Majesty's punishment!"
"And I was indeed ordered to come and kill him! I'll go and kill him now, and then go back to report to His Holiness the Pope!"
Ghost Douluo peeked out and extended a hand, saying, "Brother, please."
