Bibi Dong said calmly, "The final champion of this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is Shen An from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
"Congratulations, you're a genius young Soul Master."
The cardinal, acting as the referee, announced loudly, "Please invite the representative of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy to come to the stage to receive the award."
Just then, Tom ran over from the side, which meant, "Isn't that it?"
Tom walked confidently onto the stage, ready to receive three soul bones. That was all money; enough to buy a lifetime's worth of dried fish.
Shen An: "......"
Bibi Dong: "......"
“Tom is my representative, please don’t mind, Your Holiness,” Shen An said.
The rest of the Spirit Hall members glared angrily. This was incredibly disrespectful to the Spirit Hall—sending up a cat!
They were about to launch a scathing attack when they remembered that the Spirit Hall seemed to have an unspoken rule of protecting cats, and seeing that Tom was no ordinary cat, they all fell silent.
Bibi Dong nodded slightly, took the brocade tray from the Spirit Hall personnel, but her gaze showed no lingering affection.
Tom excitedly grabbed the three soul bones from the plate, as if they were just ordinary cabbages.
Everyone present stared in disbelief. This was a priceless treasure of the Soul Master world! How could you just snatch it away like that? Show some respect, you bastard!
Bibi Dong didn't look at Tom but stared at Shen An: "You are outstanding, far more outstanding than I expected. Would you like to join the Spirit Hall?"
"If you are willing, I promise you that you will become the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall in this generation."
The three people behind Hu Liena were all startled, and even felt a pang of bitterness in their hearts, looking at Shen An with envy.
Holy Son, are you grooming Shen An to be the successor of the Spirit Hall?
Isn't this too hasty?
Upon closer examination, it is absolutely feasible for Shen An with his talent; no one is more qualified than him.
In the Douluo Continent, where talent reigns supreme, a person's martial soul talent determines their future.
There are no useless martial spirits, only useless soul masters.
The person who said that is a complete waste of space.
The only person who can confirm this statement is not alive today; that person is named Ji Juechen.
While it may seem hasty to let Shen An take over the Spirit Hall, it is actually not so.
Once Shen An truly takes over the behemoth that is the Spirit Hall, he will only be assimilated by it.
Shen An shook his head slightly, while secretly using a medium-sized soul power experience pack to restore his soul power. In an instant, his condition was fully restored, and his soul power even jumped forward by a lot.
He's not stupid; Bibi Dong is young, and Title Douluo have extremely long lifespans.
Do you want him to cry out years later, "Your Majesty, is there such a thing as a saint who lasts forty years?"
Besides, he didn't believe in free lunches.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Holiness, but I am used to being carefree and I am afraid I am not up to the task."
A hint of regret flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, but she nodded calmly.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were about to happily walk towards Shen An when Ning Fengzhi stopped them.
The two women glanced around and noticed the atmosphere was somewhat tense.
Suddenly, orderly footsteps rang out, and the Templar Knights surged forward like a tide.
Bibi Dong smiled beautifully and dangerously: "The competition is over, and the rewards have been distributed. Elder Gui, Elder Ju, capture Tang San and Shen An for me."
"Oh, and don't let that cat get away either."
Bibi Dong added, "Three soul bones! She definitely can't let them be lost."
Tom instantly hid behind Shen An in terror.
The situation suddenly became tense.
"Your Holiness, what do you mean by this?" Ning Fengzhi asked solemnly as he stopped the two, Chrysanthemum and Ghost.
His worst fears came true.
Although he really didn't want to confront the Spirit Hall, he couldn't ignore Shen An no matter what.
Bibi Dong said coldly, "Sect Leader Ning, please have some self-respect. If you continue to obstruct us, then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will become an enemy of my Spirit Hall."
Ning Fengzhi, having weathered many storms, was naturally not intimidated by these words:
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has no intention of opposing the Spirit Hall. However, if the Spirit Hall arrests people without giving a reason, it may lose its prestige in the eyes of all the spirit masters in the world."
Bibi Dong frowned. She really hadn't expected Ning Fengzhi to dare to continue obstructing her, and even come up with such a high-sounding reason.
"The reason is simple: Tang San is an evil soul master. Many of our Spirit Hall members have fallen victim to him. He is only fourteen years old and has already reached level fifty-seven, which is due to absorbing the life and cultivation of others."
"The mission of my Spirit Hall when it was first established was to eliminate evil spirit masters. Now that the situation on the continent is stable, how could I allow this person to have the opportunity to wreak havoc on the world?"
Everyone turned to look at Tang San, gasping in shock.
Evil spirit masters have almost disappeared from the continent.
However, everyone present was a noble Soul Master, and their families had records of such individuals.
Evil Soul Masters can devour the cultivation of others and grow extremely fast, making them the greatest enemy of all orthodox Soul Masters.
Tang San, who was convulsing on the spot, was also stunned. Hadn't he been beaten badly enough? Why was someone suddenly trying to kill him?
"What about Shen An? What wrong has Shen An done?"
Ning Fengzhi then asked, "I don't care about Tang San's safety."
"Shen An seriously injured three members of our Spirit Hall in the individual competition. This person has ulterior motives and has been hiding three deadly sword energies, which suddenly erupted this morning, causing our Spirit Hall to lose three outstanding geniuses."
"I have to settle this score!"
Ning Fengzhi's pupils contracted. This Bibi Dong is really ruthless. She attacked one of their own without hesitation.
But now there's no room for maneuver; they've already come up with an excuse, which shows that Bibi Dong is determined to take down Shen An and Tang San.
Seeing Ning Fengzhi remain silent, Bibi Dong suddenly ordered: "Take him down! Anyone who obstructs will be killed without mercy!"
Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance and then pounced on Shen An and Tang San respectively.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong exchanged a glance, preparing to fight alongside Shen An, but Ning Fengzhi stopped them with a wry smile.
"You dare!"
Chen Xin immediately took a step forward, like a sword being drawn from its sheath, his sword aura overwhelming.
For a moment, Yue Guan and the others in the town dared not move.
At this moment, three more extremely powerful auras from the Spirit Hall probed out and instantly locked onto Chen Xin.
Chen Xin said indifferently, "If you want to make a move against Shen An, you'd better think twice about using my Seven Kill Sword!"
"You're putting on airs when I call you Sword Dao Chenxin. Let us give you a taste of your own medicine!"
Three figures leaped out from the Elder Hall, their auras incredibly powerful.
"Level 95 Power Attack Type Title Douluo, Title: Demon Bear!"
"Level 95 Agility-Attack Title Douluo, Title: Ghost Leopard!"
"Level 93 Power Attack Type Douluo, Title: Spirit Kite!"
Facing three Title Douluos, Chen Xin remained completely unmoved, his aura of arrogance growing even stronger.
It was as if the people in front of them were not three Title Douluos, but just three ordinary Soul Masters.
He reached out and grasped, and the crystal-clear Seven Kill Sword appeared in his hand, with the nine soul rings transforming into nine stars and merging into it.
"Come and fight!"
Chen Xin let out a cold shout and took the lead in rushing forward to fight the three of them.
Dugu Bo also made a move at this moment. He wanted to take Shen An away. As long as Shen An left, the crisis today would be resolved on its own.
As for him, what is there to fear from a lone individual like himself? If the other party dares to attack Dugu Yan, he will have all the Title Douluos of the Spirit Hall wiped out!
Just as Dugu Bo was about to set off, a cold snort exploded like a thunderclap.
Dugu Bo grunted, and the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King instantly possessed him, but he was unable to move.
His expression changed drastically. Both were titled Douluo, yet Bibi Dong had rendered him immobile with her mere pressure. How powerful was she?
Nine dazzling spirit rings rose behind Bibi Dong, the ninth of which was the number one treasure in the spirit master world, the 100,000-year spirit ring.
At this moment, Chrysanthemum Demon Douluo seized the opportunity again, grabbing at Shen An and Tang San respectively.
As for the Spirit Hall, now that they have confirmed that Tang San is a remnant of the past, the son of Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Emperor, they will never let him go.
Putting everything else aside, Tang San's only remaining leg is a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone.
The three, including Meng Shenji, tried to stop him, but how could they outrun Ghost Douluo's speed?
Shen An looked at the ghostly figure rushing towards him and unleashed his sword domain once more without hesitation.
He also quickly glanced at his current fame value, which was a staggering thirteen million.
'System, give me a lottery draw, three million reputation points!' Shen An silently prayed in his heart.
He immediately held the sword in front of him, unleashing his sword energy without reservation. The original hundred-meter-long sword rain was compressed to a radius of ten meters, but its power was doubled.
"Sword Style - Cloud Slash!"
"Sword Style - Soaring to the Sky!"
Two secret techniques containing Shen An's understanding of swordsmanship were unleashed, and Shen An's soul power was completely exhausted in less than an instant, but was fully restored due to the replenishment of soul power experience packs.
This process was repeated nine times, and at this moment, the sword energy in the sword domain was so dense that it was almost tangible.
"boom!"
The sword energy erupted, and the Ghost, a level 95 agility-based attacker, was actually knocked away.
At this moment, the ghost's clothes were torn, his eyes were filled with disbelief, and his old face turned bright red.
In front of everyone, he was actually knocked away by a Soul King. It was so embarrassing!
"Old ghost, you can't even handle this little thing properly, what a disgrace." Yue Guan, whose speed was no faster than Gui Mei's, mocked upon seeing this.
They immediately tried to grab Tang San and take him back.
But the next moment, time seemed to freeze.
"You dare to hurt my son with just a chrysanthemum? Get back here!" A deep voice suddenly rang out, its domineering aura causing everyone to tremble.
At this moment, Bibi Dong's expression also turned serious, and she gave up her pressure on Dugu Bo.
With a low, explosive roar, Yue Guan bounced back like a cannonball.
A black figure appeared silently in mid-air and floated quietly.
Although his attire was hardly flattering, he was tall and imposing, as majestic as a mountain, with an enormous black hammer floating silently behind him.
"If you open your eyes in a nightmare and face this cruelty..."
An unexpected melody began to play, and Shen An was suddenly stunned. Wasn't this Douluo Continent? Why was that woman's voice coming from here?
Tang Hao, standing to the side, was also somewhat stunned. What a tough tune!
During this piece of music, he felt a surge of excitement, an indescribable power welled up in his limbs, and even the circulation of his soul power became extremely smooth.
In this state, even if Qian Daoliu came, Tang Hao felt he could go up and fight him head-on!
Shen An was shocked. Oh no! Playing this music is just giving the enemy a buff!
Without the slightest hesitation, Shen An turned to look at Tom.
Sure enough, Tom was holding a speaker and playing the Douluo Continent theme song.
Seeing that Tom was whistling nonchalantly, Shen An wondered why he felt the scene was perfect for the song.
Shen An grabbed the speaker and was about to turn it off when he suddenly stopped. A smile played on his lips; he had a better plan.
All eyes were now on Tang Hao, and no one noticed Shen An's actions.
With only his left leg remaining, Tang San cried out in heart-wrenching sobs, tears streaming down his face, "Dad!"
At this moment, Tang Hao's eyes were also filled with tears. He had been watching the game and watched helplessly as his son's limbs were crippled by Shen An.
