Although Zhu Zhuyun's words sounded somewhat arrogant, the spectators in the stands said nothing. After all, as the first Soul Emperor to appear in this year's Soul Master Tournament, she certainly had the capital to be so overbearing.
In less than a minute, she swiftly eliminated the Thunderclap Academy team—a testament to her strength. After securing the victory, Zhu Zhuyun led her team down from the Soul Battle Platform, while the members of Thunderclap Academy, after tending to their injuries, were forcibly expelled from Spirit City by a Cardinal of the Spirit Hall.
This scene happened to be caught by Zhu Zhuyun's eyes, causing her delicate brows to knit. "Dai Weisi, Spirit Hall drove the Thunderclap Academy people out so quickly… it seems they're here with ill intentions."
"That's right—they're clearing the field," Dai Weisi nodded slightly, then added, "I'm afraid that once the finals are over, Bibi Dong will make her move against us."
"Then we…"
"Don't panic. We have Senior Dugu and Sect Master Ning on our side. They won't just stand by and watch us get into trouble."
Dai Weisi continued, "Not only that, but the Star Luo Empire's army will soon be arriving at the border of our empire, near Spirit City. At that point, Bibi Dong may not dare to act rashly—unless she's willing to risk mutual destruction!"
Saying this, Dai Weisi patted Zhu Zhuyun's head and revealed a warm, sunny smile. "You fought well this time—didn't disgrace the Star Luo Royal Academy!"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuyun lifted her chin proudly. "Of course! I'm the Crown Princess of the Star Luo Empire. If I couldn't even handle a small fry like Thunderclap Academy, wouldn't I be a laughingstock?"
"As expected of my wife. Here—your reward."
With that, Dai Weisi planted a heavy kiss on Zhu Zhuyun's fair cheek, then leaned over and kissed Zhu Zhuqing as well. After all, they were both his wives and sisters—he couldn't play favorites.
This scene was witnessed by Hu Liena, who immediately rolled her eyes and cursed inwardly: Disgusting pervert! Shameless lecher! Such a player—hmph!
Dai Weisi, of course, couldn't hear her thoughts. After the match between the Star Luo Royal Academy and Thunderclap Academy ended, he and Zhu Zhuyun stayed to watch the next fight.
The following match was between the Spirit Hall Team and the Balak Kingdom Academy. Dai Weisi wanted to use this opportunity to observe Hu Liena and Xie Yue's Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Demonic Charm.
Although he wasn't afraid of it, it was always wise to know one's opponent. However, he overestimated Balak Kingdom Academy's strength. For Hu Liena's trio to deal with that bunch of misfits, they didn't even need to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Forget the fusion skill, Hu Liena and Xie Yue didn't even make a move besides releasing their martial souls. Yan, leading the rest of the team, tore through the Balak Kingdom Academy like a raging storm, ending the match in under a minute.
After watching the Spirit Hall Team's battle, Dai Weisi returned to the hotel to continue his cultivation.
In his mind, with the Tri-Unity Martial Soul Fusion Skill he shared with the Zhu sisters, victory over the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation was assured. All he needed to do was wait patiently for the final match.
Time passed quickly, and a week slipped by in the blink of an eye. During this week, Dai Weisi spent his days meditating in the hotel. Spirit City, with its golden splendor and abundance of metallic elements, was the best place for his mimetic cultivation, given his Extreme Metal attribute.
As a result, his soul power increased rapidly, breaking through his bottleneck to reach level 68. His strength had once again improved!
This surge in power left Dai Weisi in high spirits, boosting his confidence in winning the championship.
Meanwhile, the finals of the Soul Master Tournament had reached their most intense phase. Tianshui Academy, Elephant Armored Academy, and the Heaven Dou Royal Academy had been eliminated by the Spirit Hall Team, the New Divine Wind Academy, and the Star Luo Royal Academy respectively.
Now, only three teams remained in Spirit City—the Spirit Hall Team, the Star Luo Royal Academy, and the New Divine Wind Academy.
The battles over the next two days would determine this year's champion.
Dai Weisi and the Star Luo Royal Academy members stood in the square before the Pope's Palace, flanked by the New Divine Wind Academy and the Spirit Hall Team. Among the Golden Generation, Hu Liena kept casting provocative glances at Dai Weisi, as if she wanted to devour him whole.
Hu Liena knew very well how much Dai Weisi had angered Bibi Dong over the years, and she had long wanted to teach this arrogant brat a lesson on her behalf. Now, she finally had her chance.
Dai Weisi naturally noticed her challenging gaze but ignored it completely. He had lived two lifetimes, after all. To borrow a line from Lord Madara, what adult would get angry with a child?
However, his dismissive attitude only made Hu Liena grit her teeth in fury. If Bibi Dong hadn't been watching, she would have rushed over to challenge him to a duel on the spot.
At that moment, on the dais of the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong made her grand entrance in full ceremonial attire. To her left sat two Spirit Hall Elders; to her right were Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo Chen Xin. As the master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi naturally had the right to sit there.
Dai Tianxing and his wife, along with Dugu Bo, sat in the audience. Although they could have appeared in the Pope's Palace, the three of them were enemies with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo and didn't want to be near them—unless it was to start a fight.
Dai Weisi secretly studied Bibi Dong and found this female Pope not only stunningly beautiful but also possessing a sensual figure—fair skin, long legs, and an alluring mature charm that made one drool. He couldn't help but think mischievously, feeling the spirit of Cao Cao awaken within him.
Indeed—though Cao Cao may be dead, the "Cao thief" lives on. He had gone from doubting Cao Cao to understanding Cao Cao… and now, he even wanted to become Cao Cao.
As if noticing his gaze, Bibi Dong glanced back, and their eyes met.
The instant Dai Weisi locked eyes with her, he felt a sudden palpitation in his heart, as if a primordial beast stood before him.
In that moment, he felt as though he had fallen into an icy abyss, an overwhelming fear seeping into his very marrow. A coldness washed over him; for that one second, as if stared at by the abyss itself, his blood seemed to freeze solid.
So this is Bibi Dong's power? As expected of a level 99 Peerless Douluo. No… it's not as simple as just level 99.
Although the God Trials restrict her to displaying only level 98 strength, Bibi Dong's power is clearly at a demigod level—only one step away from true godhood!
If she unleashed her full power, I'm afraid not even the Ghostly White Tiger formed by my grandparents would be her match.
Realizing her strength, Dai Weisi withdrew his gaze—only to spot a familiar face. It was none other than Bibi Dong's former lover, the so-called "Useless Grandmaster," Yu Xiaogang. His sudden appearance puzzled Dai Weisi.
What is this Useless Grandmaster doing here instead of misleading his prized disciple in the cultivation of his Blue Silver Emperor martial soul? Don't tell me he came to see his old flame?
