Chapter 142: Monster Academy's Soul Beast Identity Exposed, Spirit Hall Makes a Move!
Tang Hao could then easily manipulate Ye Wen, exacting revenge for his son!
Xiao Wu? Tang Hao no longer cared about her.
In Tang Hao's eyes, she had abandoned his son, Tang San, and had even beaten Tang San badly during the preliminaries.
Tang Hao didn't care if Tang San still held feelings for Xiao Wu; in Tang Hao's eyes, she was already an enemy.
Now, Tang Hao had laid out a good plan, just waiting to reap the benefits.
But Tang Hao had no idea that among Monster Academy, Xiao Wu wasn't the only 100,000-year soul beast in human form. He also didn't know that this group of soul beasts could switch to a semi-human form, nor did he ever imagine that the terrifying powerful individual behind Ye Wen was Ye Wen himself.
"Now, please, Pope Bibi Dong, present the awards!"
The top ten participating teams all received awards, but besides the champion, they were all gold soul coin prizes. At this moment, nine teams came up one after another to claim their rewards.
Finally, it was Monster Academy's turn, the champions.
Bibi Dong shook her scepter, and three gleaming 10,000-year soul bones appeared before her: "Come forward and claim them."
According to the competition rules, she still had to award the soul bones, after all, with the eyes of the empire watching.
However, whether Monster Academy could absorb them or keep them after receiving them was another matter.
Because, today, Bibi Dong had no intention of letting the Monster Academy members leave.
She wasn't at all afraid that Monster Academy's members could escape. The Pope's Palace was filled with powerful individuals; how could a group of juniors who were Soul Sects and Soul Kings possibly escape?
"Bibi Dong! Regardless of your intentions, once these soul bones are in my hands, you won't get them back," Ye Wen sneered inwardly.
Ye Wen took the three soul bones from Bibi Dong's hand and instantly stored them in his spatial soul tool. At this moment, their goal in participating in the Soul Master Competition had been achieved.
But right after the soul bone handover, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly changed. A large number of Spirit Hall soldiers quickly surrounded the entire competition stage.
"Boss! Spirit Hall is making a move!"
Snow Empress, Evil Tiger, and everyone else instantly became alert.
"Oh? So direct?" Ye Wen's expression also changed slightly. He knew Spirit Hall would take action, but there was no direct evidence of their soul beast identity.
Or perhaps, they were still in self-doubt.
In Ye Wen's view, Spirit Hall would at most find a reason to keep them in Spirit Hall for now. But the current situation seemed to indicate they wanted to act directly, which made him feel a bit confused and uneasy.
But it didn't matter. Since the soul bones were in hand, whether Spirit Hall wanted to keep them temporarily or act directly.
This battle was basically unavoidable. Ye Wen also intended that, at this moment, it was time to expose their identities and let humanity truly experience the terror of their soul beasts!
Let this world tremble!!
Bibi Dong wore a faint smile on her face, took a few steps forward, and lightly shook the scepter in her hand, saying, "Since the rewards have been distributed, then this competition has successfully concluded."
"Now, apart from the members of Monster Academy, all other irrelevant personnel may leave," Bibi Dong said, then suddenly thought of something and added, "Oh, right, and Tang San of Shrek Academy, you stay too."
"What...!"
"This... What does Spirit Hall want to do?"
"Why do they want to keep Monster Academy and Tang San of Shrek Academy?"
"I don't know, but something bad is probably going to happen. We should leave as soon as possible."
The various academies, as well as the spectators who came to watch the finals, had already noticed something amiss. Something bad was likely to happen, and if they didn't leave, they might be affected.
The Star Luo Empire immediately led all participating academies away. The Heaven Dou side did almost the same, with most teams quickly departing. The Heaven Dou Academy members were still hesitant and worried for Monster Academy.
Seeing this, Ye Wen immediately gave Shui Bing'er a subtle look, signaling them to leave. It would be difficult for them to perform if they stayed here.
"Ye Wen..."
Shui Bing'er was also a clever girl. She hesitated for a moment, then temporarily led the Heaven Dou members away.
Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, Sword Douluo, and the rest of Shrek Academy remained in place. If Ning Rongrong hadn't been in Shrek Academy, Ning Fengzhi would have actually taken his people and left.
"Heh, it seems Bibi Dong still doesn't plan to let Tang San off easily," Ye Wen chuckled inwardly.
He remembered that Spirit Hall would send people to assassinate Tang San on his way to Spirit City for the competition, but it hadn't happened in this life. Ye Wen had thought Spirit Hall wasn't going to make a move on Tang San anymore, but it turned out they were waiting for this moment?
"Spirit Hall!!"
In the shadows, Tang Hao's smug expression suddenly darkened. He never expected Spirit Hall to make a move on Tang San at a time like this!
Even Spirit Hall couldn't be so brazen, could they?
After all, Tang San represented the Heaven Dou Empire's academy in the competition. What was their reason?
"Good for you, Spirit Hall!"
Tang Hao's face was grim and ruthless. If the situation turned sour, he would immediately step in to save his son. However, it would then be difficult to ambush the powerful individual behind Ye Wen.
"Pope Bibi Dong, even Spirit Hall has no reason to arbitrarily detain my disciple! This continent is not yet under the complete dominion of your Spirit Hall; do not act so recklessly!" Yu Xiaogang stepped forward at this moment, confronting Bibi Dong.
"Hmph." Bibi Dong snorted coldly, too bothered to deal with Yu Xiaogang. Her gaze instantly sharpened: "Seize the people from Monster Academy, and that Tang San!"
"Yes!"
Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo smiled sinisterly, preparing to make their move.
"Wait!" Ye Wen shouted loudly, quickly saying, "Tang San is the son of Tang Hao. Tang Hao and your Spirit Hall have grievances. I can somewhat understand Pope Bibi Dong dealing with Tang San, but our Monster Academy has no past grudges with Spirit Hall. Pope Bibi Dong, why is this?"
"Heh, as for the reason, I think you know it in your hearts, don't you, Ye Wen?" Bibi Dong sneered, pointing her scepter at Xiao Wu: "As for the rest of you, I'm still not entirely certain, but that girl named Xiao Wu, she's a soul beast, isn't she?"
"Am I right? A 100,000-year Soft Bone Rabbit."
"What!! Xiao Wu is actually a soul beast!" Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, the Shrek Academy members, including Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo, were all shocked.
Mainly, if Xiao Wu was a soul beast, how could Sword and Bone Douluo not have noticed?!
"Strange." Ye Wen frowned slightly.
After Xiao Wu became his contracted servant, she gained the ability to conceal her soul beast identity, just like the others.
Since Bibi Dong could be so certain of Xiao Wu's identity, why couldn't she discern theirs?
But at this point, there was nothing left to hide. Ye Wen spoke more openly, giving a frank smile and saying, "Pope Bibi Dong is right. Xiao Wu is indeed a soul beast."
