Chapter 217 Elder Li Luochen, a tough nut to crack?
Chapter 218 Elder Li Luochen, a tough nut to crack?
The members of the Heaven Dou Royal Team, Shrek Team, and Spirit Hall Academy Team were all stunned. They all knew Li Luochen, the youngest and most talented young Soul Master on the continent, who was wearing a formal suit that only Title Douluo level members could wear.
Could he already be a Title Douluo? My God, that's terrifying! But the Spirit Hall has already tacitly acknowledged it, which means Li Luochen really is a Title Douluo, and he's only twenty years old!
Li Luochen's idea was simple: he was already at level 89 and would soon break through to become a Title Douluo. Once he absorbed the Dragon Pill, he would automatically condense his ninth soul ring, making him invincible below the level of a god!
What is there to be afraid of? The Asura God is just a backdrop for him! The Asura God wouldn't want him to die, so what's so scary about Li Luochen?
Moreover, Li Luochen felt that he was too low-key, which led to people always trying to take a jab at Shrek City? Heh, this time he might as well just make it clear that he, Li Luochen, is that strong!
. . . . . .
Two figures in black robes stood in the distance, watching the Pope and the elders emerge. One of them, a short and thin man, suddenly spoke.
"Your Majesty, Li Luochen is already the number one enemy of the Clear Sky Sect. This time, when you take Xiao San away, please kill him as well. I don't believe he's already a Title Douluo! Last time he only had eight spirit rings!"
He's probably only barely reached that level, and since he possesses four 100,000-year soul rings, he should have four soul bones, which would be a great benefit to you and Xiao San!
This man was Yu Xiaogang. When he saw Li Luochen standing next to Bibi Dong, he felt a strange sense of jealousy!
"Okay, I understand. Master, go somewhere far away and wait for me on that mountain outside Spirit City. I probably won't be able to help you once the fight starts!"
The tall man in black robes was Tang Xiao. With his current strength of level 96, he was confident that if he launched a sneak attack, he could kill Li Luochen and prevent the Spirit Hall from coming to his aid!
He hadn't originally planned to do this, but seeing his brother's corpse, he couldn't bear it any longer. He'd just take some interest first! Anyway, the Spirit Hall wouldn't attack the Clear Sky Sect; there was an agreement!
After hearing this, Yu Xiaogang left, her eyes flashing with a dark aura. This aura was extremely decadent and evil, which made Bibi Dong, who was in a good mood, suddenly realize it.
"Where did this resentment come from? It's weak, but utterly disgusting! Never mind, let's watch the match first; it's finally time to see the results!"
. . . . . .
Meanwhile, in the audience, Hu Liena's eyes gleamed as she looked at Li Luochen. Li Luochen looked so handsome in his formal attire; the face-obsessed Hu Liena was once again struck by adrenaline.
Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy, most students looked proud when they saw Li Luochen. This was their headmaster, who personally taught them; his status was that high!
Only three types of people can emerge from the main gate of the Papal Palace. The first type is, of course, the Pope himself. The second type are the Title Douluos who have proven themselves through their strength. And the third type are the elders of the Spirit Hall.
Apart from these three, even the Platinum Bishop and the emperors of the two great empires are not qualified to enter or leave this gate.
However, Ning Fengzhi was qualified to walk out of this door; he had another identity: an elder of the Spirit Hall. To be precise, an honorary elder. He was none other than Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Of course, Dugu Yan was also qualified to wear the red robe and stand on it, and the Spirit Hall even specially made a set of Title Douluo robes for her. However, she didn't care about these things. She was taking care of her child at the moment.
Qian Renxue was impersonating Xue Qinghe, and the task of bringing Li Chengqian was entrusted to her. As for Flander, he didn't want to be on top of it in the first place.
However, Li Luochen pointed out the stakes to him, asking him to demonstrate the majesty of a Title Douluo, and basically to make it clear that the Dean of Shrek Academy, Feng Ying Douluo, is an elder of the Spirit Hall, so who would dare to touch him?
To Li Luochen's surprise, Yu Luomian actually came here. Liu Erlong was also stunned to see her father up there. Extreme Thunder Douluo? Not bad.
Li Luochen sensed that Yu Luomian's strength had reached level 95. The rapid improvement was likely due to the absorption of the soul bone. Judging from his aura alone, Yu Luomian's strength was no less than that of Yu Yuanzhen at his peak.
(The veteran Title Douluo is indeed strong. Having achieved the title of Title Douluo for so many years, he is definitely not someone who has just broken through and whose level is 95 based on the energy of his spirit rings and spirit bones. Of course, the Jade Luo Crown will become stronger over time.)
Why did Yu Luomian come this time? One reason is to support the Spirit Hall, since Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has also come. Two of the three upper sects are now watching the competition at the Spirit Hall, and they are elders.
Secondly, I'm watching my favorite grandson's competition. I heard that Yu Tianxin's performance this time was excellent. If Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Zhu Zhuqing don't step up, Yu Tianxin will be the strongest player.
Yu Luomian was naturally very happy about his grandson's growth. Yu Tianxin had now reached the peak of level 48. The high-pressure environment of the competition had improved the soul power of all the participants.
Anyway, the Spirit Hall team and the Shrek team were very happy and in a great mood, while on the Heaven Dou side, Tang San glared angrily. He wanted to remember the people on the stage because they all had a way to die!
Suddenly, the seven members of the Spirit Hall Academy team knelt on one knee in front of the Pope on the platform, placing their right hand on their left chest, a standard Spirit Master etiquette.
On the Shrek Academy side, they were a little stunned to see the Spirit Hall Academy kneeling down so quickly. Ma Hongjun and Oscar were the first to kneel down on one knee, but they knelt down in front of Li Luochen.
Of course, Li Luochen and Bibi Dong were standing very close, so others couldn't tell. Then, the Shrek Academy team members knelt down on one knee one after another. Yu Tianxin and Ning Rongrong were originally from the three upper sects and didn't want to kneel down to others.
However, they remembered the night before, when everyone had gathered together and Oscar had said something.
"If we encounter the Pope tomorrow, we should still kneel down promptly. I know you are of noble status, but it is normal to kneel before the powerful. Our Director Li went through the same thing back then."
Director Li knelt down promptly when he saw the Pope. Afterwards, Director Li told us that in the world of Soul Masters, the strong are respected, and one cannot refute the face of the strong. The strong do not need any reason to take action; they only need to dislike you.
"It's never wrong to be overly polite," as Director Li famously said, and it's even in our college's rules. You're just of noble birth and slightly more talented; you're not truly strong yet. Only when you grow and mature will you perhaps earn the respect of others.
Oscar's words caused this distinguished man to kneel down as well. Seeing that Ning Rongrong and Yu Tianxin had both knelt down, Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Lingling, Yang Wu, and Niu Dun followed suit and knelt on one knee one after another.
As Dai Mubai performed the standard Soul Master etiquette, he was momentarily distracted. He noticed that his teammates were all kneeling, which stunned him. In order not to disrupt the formation, he also knelt on one knee.
The Shrek Academy team members kneeling on one knee in unison brought a sigh of relief to Li Luochen on the stage. Bibi Dong was currently riding high, so he hoped she wouldn't provoke her, or he would be the one to suffer.
Bibi Dong opened her eyes and looked at the genius soul masters below the stage, who bowed respectfully to her. She was especially pleased that the Shrek Academy team led by Li Luochen had also bowed, as Bibi Dong thought that Li Luochen was impeccable in terms of etiquette.
She was satisfied with him as both the pope and the mother-in-law, but she disliked his womanizing ways!
Bibi Dong glanced around, and her pleasant mood suddenly came to an abrupt end. Her hand unconsciously tightened its grip on the scepter.
Sensing the Pope's change in mood, the titled Douluos on the stage looked towards Bibi Dong's gaze and discovered a maverick.
After the Spirit Hall Academy knelt down, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy also knelt down quickly and in unison. Except for Tang San, the other six knelt down.
Although they have families with considerable influence, they cannot afford to provoke the Spirit Hall, so they must bow their heads when necessary.
Tang San was the only exception; he would not bow to the Pope. This was not because of his lineage from the Clear Sky Sect or anything else, but because of his own pride.
In his heart, the only people he would kneel before were his father and teacher. As for others, even emperors, what difference did it make?
The titled Douluo on the stage looked at Tang San, who was standing ramrod straight, and thought to themselves, "Is this kid stupid? If a group of people didn't kneel, the Pope might not make a fuss, but you're the only one who's so unconventional."
Looks like they're in for a tough time.
Although there is no explicit rule that Soul Masters must bow to the Pope of the Spirit Hall, at this moment, Tang San undoubtedly appears to be quite unconventional.
Bibi Dong's gaze fell directly on the young man, and all the members of the Spirit Hall glared angrily at Tang San.
Standing behind Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan made a soft sound towards Bibi Dong's lips, and Bibi Dong's gaze immediately locked onto Tang San.
The moment her gaze fell upon Tang San, Tang San clearly felt as if his soul was being ripped away. His body trembled slightly, and he had no choice but to immediately activate his Purple Demon Eye.
"How dare you be so disrespectful to His Holiness the Pope!" the cardinal who had been chanting earlier shouted angrily.
A purple-gold light shot out from her eyes, reaching several inches high, but it still couldn't stop Bibi Dong's gaze.
Tang San's eyes started bleeding first, followed by his nose and the corners of his mouth, but he still stood up straight. He was really good at holding on.
At this time, Tang San did not possess the Purple Demon Eye of the Mustard Seed Realm; he was merely at the peak of the Subtle Realm. Bibi Dong, on the other hand, had reached level ninety-nine. With just a glance, she almost caused Tang San's Purple Demon Eye to break down!
"snort!"
Bibi Dong snorted coldly, and Tang San felt as if his brain had exploded. He spat out a mouthful of blood, which kept seeping from his seven orifices, and he collapsed to the ground in a sorry state.
Both the Shrek Academy team and the Heaven Dou team were taken aback, but then they realized that it's always good to be polite. Dai Mubai was glad he had knelt down, otherwise things could have easily gotten into trouble.
The Spirit Hall Academy was overjoyed. How dare you disrespect His Holiness the Pope? You've been spoiled rotten!
Bibi Dong is now completely enlightened. She has long since let go of the past. She has seen Yu Xiaogang many times and finds him increasingly clown-like and disgusting.
Then, after collecting information about what happened back then, she discovered that Yu Xiaogang had been deceiving her from the very beginning. What theoretical master? He was nothing more than someone looking for books to solve his own incompetence and a way to comfort himself for not being able to cultivate.
Bibi Dong felt she was blind to have fallen for such a scoundrel. He had no looks, no ability, no responsibility, and was a coward. Ugh!
Now that Tang San, Yu Xiaogang's disciple, dares to disrespect her, he should certainly be punished!
Li Luochen thoroughly enjoyed the show. His mother-in-law was indeed a mother-in-law; she was decisive and efficient in getting rid of her romantic obsession. It was quite a performance, and it would have been even more entertaining if Yu Xiaogang had been there.
It's a pity we can't see it. But it seems Bibi Dong went a bit too far just now, as Tang San was knocked unconscious, which ruined the fun.
Then Li Luochen sent a telepathic message to Bibi Dong.
