Chapter 343 The Fearful Bibi Dong
Bibi Dong's stern shouts still echoed in the Papal Palace.
The cold and violent soul power swept in all directions like a black storm.
The atmosphere in the entire Papal Palace was extremely solemn.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
The next moment, the void trembled slightly.
A wisp of pale blue ripple spread silently across the space.
Li Bai, dressed in white robes that were as pure as snow and exuding an ethereal aura, had already landed steadily in the very center of the Papal Palace.
He stood with his hands behind his back, the wine jug at his waist swaying gently with his movements, emitting a clear and refreshing aroma.
He did not release the slightest bit of fierce aura.
But the immense pressure emanating from a true god made it incredibly difficult for everyone in the hall to even breathe.
The instant I saw the person's face clearly.
Bibi Dong's pupils suddenly contracted, and her whole body tensed to the extreme.
"Li Bai!"
She spoke slowly and deliberately, her voice icy and chilling, her brows furrowed tightly.
His eyes were full of vigilance and apprehension.
"Why are you barging into my Spirit Hall without being stationed at Beidou Academy? What exactly is your intention?"
"Could it be that you intend to attack my Spirit Hall?"
Although her words were forceful, Bibi Dong's heart was already churning with turbulent waves!
As the inheritor of the Rakshasa God, her perception of divine power far surpasses that of any other Soul Master in the world.
At this moment, she was absolutely certain—
Li Bai has truly become a god!
She had suspected it before.
Li Bai received incredible rewards from the Heavenly Ranking and possessed the top-tier sword spirit, the Azure Lotus Divine Sword.
Reaching godhood is only a matter of time.
But she never expected that this day would come so soon!
It should be noted that Li Bai was only at the Limit Douluo level before, yet he was able to defeat a true god-level powerhouse despite being at a higher level.
Their terrifying combat power has long since shattered common sense on the mainland.
Now he has completely broken through level 100, achieved true godhood, shed his mortal form, and possesses godhood.
Just how terrifying will their strength become?
Bibi Dong dared not imagine it, and dared not be careless in the slightest.
The Li Bai before her was no longer someone she could contend with using the power of the Spirit Hall, the Hall of Offerings, or her twin spirits.
Seeing Bibi Dong's tense and fully alert demeanor, Li Bai wore a calm and serene smile.
His tone was languid and casual, as if he were just attending an ordinary banquet.
"Your Holiness is overthinking it."
"I have come here today not to seek revenge, nor to start a war."
As soon as he finished speaking, he gently flicked his right hand.
A formal registration form, shimmering with golden light and engraved with intricate runes, drifted slowly toward Bibi Dong like a falling leaf.
It landed steadily on the jade table in front of her without making a sound.
"This is the registration form. Please sign for it, Your Holiness the Pope."
Having said that, Li Bai said no more.
He has always disliked unnecessary entanglements.
The message has been delivered and the matter has been settled, so there is no need to linger.
Space distorted slightly once again.
The pale blue sword light flashed and disappeared in an instant, so fast that even spatial fluctuations could hardly be detected.
His figure vanished completely from the Papal Palace as if he had never been there at all.
Until that terrifying sword intent and that divine pressure that made even the soul tremble completely dissipated.
Bibi Dong finally breathed a long sigh of relief, her legs feeling slightly weak.
His back was already soaked with cold sweat, clinging to his robe.
She slowly raised her hand and picked up the golden registration form.
His gaze was fixed on the rows of names above, his fingertips turning slightly white.
List of participants from Beidou Academy:
Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, Ao Yin, Su Mu, Luo Li.
There are seven people in total.
The last two names—Su Mu and Luo Li—were completely unfamiliar.
He is clearly a disciple recently trained by Beidou Academy who has never shown his talent on the mainland.
The five people in front are Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ao Yin.
Each of them has been listed on the Mainland's Genius Ranking, Martial Soul Ranking, and so on.
Their talent is so high that they have already completely overwhelmed the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation!
Several months have passed since the list was published.
With the terrifyingly abundant cultivation resources of Beidou Academy, the personal guidance of Dean Lu Xiao, and the constant support from the Sky List, the students were able to achieve their goals.
Just how terrifying will the strength of these five people reach?
The more Bibi Dong looked, the heavier her heart became.
A strong sense of powerlessness welled up in my heart again.
"teacher..."
Hu Liena barely managed to stand, her voice trembling slightly.
"Beidou Academy...are they really going to participate in this continent-wide elite soul master competition?"
Xie Yue and Yan also looked up at Bibi Dong with solemn expressions.
They had just been under Li Bai's sword intent.
They didn't even have the right to look up, and they didn't dare to breathe loudly.
An indelible shadow has long been cast in my heart; the fear of Beidou Academy has penetrated to the bone.
Bibi Dong nodded slowly, her voice carrying an undisguised heaviness.
"That's right."
"The Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament is a major event on the continent with far-reaching influence, and they have no reason not to participate."
"But remember this: in this competition, the Beidou Academy team will be your only and biggest opponent!"
"Apart from that, no team on the mainland is worth fearing."
Hu Liena and the other two felt their hearts sink, and their faces turned even more pale.
They knew better than anyone how terrifying the group from Beidou Academy was.
Back then, on the genius ranking list, Ning Rongrong and her group of five were definitely ahead of them.
Whether it's soul power, martial soul, soul skills, or potential, it surpasses them all in every aspect.
Now, several months have passed, and the other party has grown up in the mythical power of Beidou Academy, with resources, guidance, and opportunities readily available.
Their strength will only become more terrifying.
Defeating them would be as difficult as climbing to the heavens!
"Your Holiness, we..."
Yan clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, a look of resentment and frustration on his face.
As the golden generation of the Spirit Hall, they have been the center of attention since childhood, and pride has been ingrained in their very bones.
But when faced with Beidou Academy, they couldn't even muster a shred of confidence.
Bibi Dong took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the unease and despair in her heart, and spoke to comfort her.
"You don't need to worry too much."
"You are endowed with the most top-tier resources of the Spirit Hall, possess the most perfect cultivation system, and are further enhanced by spirit bones. Your foundation is so solid that no one of your generation on the continent can match it."
"As long as we go all out and unleash our full potential, we may still have a chance of winning."
Despite this, Bibi Dong's mind was already perfectly clear.
She knew better than anyone that no matter how strong the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall was, they were just normal geniuses who followed the cultivation rules of a Spirit Master.
And those people from Beidou Academy are monsters!
It is an existence that cannot be measured by common sense!
He was a prodigy personally trained by Lu Xiao!
Her only hope at this moment was that Hu Liena and the others wouldn't lose too badly.
At least they should be able to withstand a few moves on the stage and preserve the Spirit Hall's last bit of face and dignity.
"Thank you for your guidance, Your Holiness the Pope!"
Hu Liena and the other two bowed deeply, their eyes regaining a resolute light, their voices firm and resolute.
"We will immediately go into seclusion and cultivate diligently, without wasting a single second!"
"We will definitely win the championship in this competition and protect the glory of the Spirit Hall!"
"No matter who our opponent is, no matter how strong they are, we will not back down!"
The three shouted in unison, their voices echoing throughout the hall.
As soon as they finished speaking, they turned and quickly retreated without lingering, leaving the Papal Palace immediately.
They knew it very well.
This battle concerns the future of the Spirit Hall, and even more so, their own glory.
Inside the Papal Palace, only Bibi Dong remained once again.
She gazed at the empty hall and the darkening sky outside the window, and let out a long sigh.
His eyes were filled with helplessness and exhaustion.
The shadow of Beidou Academy has, like a curtain in the sky, completely shrouded the future of the Spirit Hall.
