As their voices faded into the air, a golden beam of light shot up from their bodies. This light was even more dazzling and solid than anything seen before. It carried a terrifying aura that was not at all weaker than Yaomei's power. In fact, it felt several times stronger. Like a powerful emperor waking from a long sleep, the golden light descended upon the plaza in front of the Supreme Pontiff Palace with great force.
The very next second, a golden dragon spear appeared from the center of the light. It looked like it was made of pure gold. The spear had an ancient shape, yet it gave off a feeling of endless majesty and destructive power. It quickly turned into a bolt of golden lightning, tearing through the sky as it shot directly toward Yaomei's position.
Wherever the golden dragon spear traveled, the air let out a sharp, piercing cry. That moment felt as bright as eternity, leaving behind a blurry distortion of dazzling colors. It contained a scary power that seemed able to pierce through heaven and earth and judge every living being.
What is this? Bibi Dong suddenly stood up from her seat. Her deep eyes, which usually looked like a dark abyss, were filled with shock and disbelief. This is a Martial Soul Fusion Skill? With her great knowledge and her high cultivation level, she could easily feel the strength inside that spear. It was a power that went far beyond what a normal Martial Soul Fusion Skill should be. It was a light that made even her strong heart beat faster. It was a light that seemed capable of judging destiny itself.
Bibi Dong had no idea that Tianxing Academy was hiding such a dangerous trump card. In truth, only four people in the Spirit Hall had actually seen Tang Chen and Xiao Ruier use this Martial Soul Fusion Skill before.
Those people were Thousand Weight, Jiang Mo, Ghost Leopard, and Devil Bear. After the two Elders, Thousand Weight and Jiang Mo, failed their mission in the canyon, they went straight back to the Hall of Worship. They reported to Qian Daoliu but did not tell Bibi Dong all the specific details.
Ghost Leopard Douluo was also not able to talk. He had been badly hurt by the Red King and then hit by an angry Tang Hao's heavy hammer. When Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo brought him back, he was barely alive.
He is still in a coma today and cannot give any information. As for Devil Bear Douluo, he had disappeared in a mysterious way. The strange rumors about him meant no information about the Martial Soul Fusion Skill reached the Supreme Pontiff.
Because of this, Bibi Dong was caught completely off guard. Standing up with her were Yue Guan and Gui Mei. Their shock was just as great as hers, and their faces became very serious in an instant.
Just as the golden dragon spear was about to hit Yaomei, who was hidden inside the red mist, Bibi Dong moved. She had been standing on the high platform, but suddenly she vanished. A moment later, she appeared out of thin air on the arena floor like a ghost. She used her own body to stand between Yaomei and the incoming golden dragon spear.
At that same time, a terrifying pressure exploded from her. It was strong enough to make the sky change color. It felt like a volcano that had been quiet for ten thousand years suddenly erupted. This pressure swept across the entire plaza of the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!
Nine spirit rings rose up from under Bibi Dong's feet. The last one was especially amazing. It was a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring that had once belonged to Tang Chen's mother. It was deep, immense, and glowed with a blood-red light. The light was so bright that it hurt the eyes of the lower-level Spirit Masters watching the fight.
Under this absolute power, the entire plaza became silent. Many people felt like they could not breathe. Every Spirit Master there felt their souls shake. It was the natural fear a low-level Spirit Master feels when facing a supreme being like a Titled Douluo.
Bibi Dong looked at the fast-moving golden dragon spear with a cold face. She simply raised her right hand. She was wearing a ring with a valuable gem, and she pointed her finger at the tip of the spear. There was no giant explosion and no loud noise of energy hitting energy. The moment her finger touched the golden dragon spear, a loud cracking sound filled the air.
The golden dragon spear was made by a Martial Soul Fusion Skill and was strong enough to scare a Spirit Saint or even a Spirit Douluo. However, it let out a sad cry under the pressure of her finger. It shattered into pieces like thin glass. Finally, it turned into many golden spots of light that disappeared into the air. With just a flick of her hand, she easily destroyed the skill that could have won the match.
Bibi Dong slowly pulled her hand back. Her cold eyes looked at Tang Chen and Xiao Ruier, who both looked very serious. Then she looked at Xie Yue and Hu Liena. They had been forced to stop their Martial Soul Fusion Skill because she stepped in. Their faces were pale, and they looked very shaken.
The golden particles from the spear were still fading away. Bibi Dong put her right hand behind her back, hiding it inside the long sleeve of her robe. No one saw that her finger was actually shaking a little bit. She felt a faint stinging feeling in her fingertip. This Martial Soul Fusion Skill actually has such a strange power? She felt surprised inside, but her face stayed as cold as ice. She did not show any emotion at all. She thought to herself that if these two ever reached the level of a Spirit Douluo, they would be truly terrifying.
After a short silence, the plaza exploded with loud voices and arguments. Many people were confused. Why did the Supreme Pontiff enter the fight herself? The competition is not over yet! Is Spirit Hall unable to lose? Are they stopping the fight on purpose? People were wondering if Spirit Hall was trying to protect its honor by cheating. Many people looked at Bibi Dong with doubt and anger. The fair image of Spirit Hall was starting to break.
Your Excellency! What are you trying to do? Dugu Bo shouted as he turned into a green streak of light and landed on the arena. He looked very angry. He stood in front of Tang Chen and Xiao Ruier to protect them. His green eyes were locked on Bibi Dong. Small clouds of green poison mist started to rise around him. He was ready to fight to the death if he had to.
Bibi Dong ignored the loud crowd and Dugu Bo's anger. She looked past Dugu Bo and stared at Tang Chen and Xiao Ruier. They were both standing there very calmly. She did not answer Dugu Bo's question. Instead, she spoke in a calm voice that showed no feelings.
You two are very good. Your Martial Soul Fusion Skill really surprised me. She paused for a moment as if she was thinking about the power she just felt. It allowed me to feel the strength of your skill for myself.
Everyone was confused by her words. They did not know what she meant. But then, Bibi Dong did something that shocked everyone even more. She raised her left hand and tapped her scepter on the ground. Her voice was loud and clear, reaching every corner of the area.
Because the Tianxing Academy team showed such amazing strength, and because of the power of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, I rule that the Spirit Hall Academy team has lost. I declare that the winner of this tournament is Tianxing Academy!
The crowd went wild. It was like throwing cold water into a pot of boiling oil. No one expected the match to end like this. The Spirit Hall team had not even finished their best moves yet. Why would the Supreme Pontiff give up? Even Hu Liena and her teammates could not believe it. The other Elders of Spirit Hall sitting on the high platform were also shocked. They thought that since both sides had Fusion Skills, they should have kept fighting to see who was better.
Yan, who was standing nearby, took a step forward. He looked very upset and shouted, Your Excellency! How could they win? We should be the winners!
Bibi Dong looked at him coldly. She did not like to be questioned. She had made her choice, and the tournament was over. Tianxing Academy had won the greatest prize in the Spirit Master world.
