Sea God Island was a place of peace, but Bo Saixi was really going to lose sleep tonight. She tossed and turned, unable to find rest because her mind was filled with questions. She simply could not understand what was happening.
What on earth was wrong with Hu Liena? If you cannot film the fight up close, you should at least take a shot from far away. Even if you do not want to film the battle, you should at least tell us how the fight went. It was truly infuriating for her to be left in the dark like this.
Bo Saixi was still mulling over the events in her head. She wondered exactly how strong Bibi Dong and Su Yan were compared to each other. There was also that strange scene involving three versions of Bibi Dong washing the feet of Su Yan. Hu Liena did not explain a single detail about that moment. It was a massive let-down for everyone watching the social feed.
Bo Saixi decided to post a message to the group. She typed, Su Yan, Bibi Dong, are you two alright? If you are fine, how about you tell us what happened during your meeting?
A user named Call Me Her Majesty the Empress replied with a confused sound, Aoo?
Liu Erlong joined in quickly, asking, Old Woman, did you give Su Yan a beating?
Loves Eating Carrots laughed at the idea. If Su Yan did not beat her up, it would be a miracle. Did you really think Bibi Dong could win against him?
Bibi Dong finally replied, her tone sharp and annoyed. Little rabbit, shut up. That Little Bastard fights dirty. He did not even dare to face me head-on in a real fight.
Su Yan simply replied with a short question, Are you sure about that?
Back at Spirit Hall, the atmosphere was tense. Bibi Dong had just gone to find Qian Daoliu. When she saw him standing there completely unhurt, her eyes showed her shock. She looked at him and asked, You are fine?
She was confused because when she burst out moments ago, it was with the combined force of three clones at the 99th-level Limitless Peak. An ordinary Titled Douluo would be crippled by even a small scrape from that much power. Even though she had pulled back her power at the last second, Qian Daoliu should not be completely unscathed. It seemed impossible to her.
Qian Daoliu dusted off his golden robes, his face very grave and serious. He looked at her and asked, Bibi Dong, what just happened?
Bibi Dong glanced at him and answered coldly, You are unhurt, and that is good enough. Do not ask about things you should not know. With that, Bibi Dong turned around and flew off into the sky.
It infuriated Qian Daoliu to be treated this way. He muttered to himself, Insolent woman! Her wings have truly hardened now that she has more power. He realized he could do nothing about it. Bibi Dong's current strength far surpassed his own. She must have held back in that accidental strike just now. Even so, the shockwave had still shaken him.
He wondered about those spirit rings on the Little Monkey and those three versions of Bibi Dong. He also wondered why Su Yan came to Spirit Hall to find Bibi Dong. He thought to himself, could it be that Little Xue sent him here?
Inside the Pope's Bedchamber, the mood was even more quiet. After Bibi Dong brought Hu Liena back, her expression turned very grave. She looked at her disciple and asked, Nana, did you see clearly just now? What Spirit Ability did I fall to when Su Yan attacked?
Hu Liena nodded her head. She said, Yes, I saw it. It should be a spatial spirit ability. Su Yan first used six clones to immobilize the three versions of you, then he pulled all of you into his own special space.
Bibi Dong ground her teeth in frustration. She asked, Do not tell me he just released me at the end. Did I not break out by finding a flaw in his technique?
Bibi Dong then went back to the group chat and demanded, Su Yan, explain your Spirit Ability right now!
Su Yan replied casually, There is nothing much to say. It is basically a spatial spirit ability. But the space is one that I created myself. It is not just some messy teleportation skill.
Dark Avenger asked the question everyone wanted to know. So did you two actually fight? How did it go?
Hu Liena explained further in the chat. Su Yan first used a skill to make six clones. They seemed to control my teacher directly. Then he sucked my teacher into his skill-space. She added, Don't blame me for not filming or taking photos.
I wanted to! But my teacher did not deliver a long fight. Before it even started, it was over. All three of my teachers vanished into that space. Where was I supposed to film? Aiyo!
Inside the Pope's Bedchamber, Bibi Dong reacted to the message. She smacked Hu Liena's bottom with a quick slap and glared at her. So you are saying it is your teacher's fault for being useless?
Hu Liena looked at her piteously, rubbing the spot where she was hit. She whispered, No, it is just that Su Yan is way too strong.
On the screen, Liu Erlong mocked her. Old Woman, oh Old Woman, you disappoint me so much.
I Am an Orphan added, I say you should resign as the Pope and take up foot-washing and massage full-time.
Winter Cutie asked for clarification. So in the end, Bibi Dong lost to Su Yan in a single round, right?
Big Cat in the Shadow confirmed it. Pretty much, that is what happened.
A user named Group Member No. 9 offered a different theory. I bet His Holiness threw the fight on purpose. If she loses to Su Yan, then she gets ten more foot-washing sessions. Su Yan keeps visiting Spirit Hall to find her, which gives her more chances to recruit him to her side.
Yanzi is not a Swallow agreed. So that is how it is! You are so clever to notice that!
Cat in the Shadows sent a bunch of question marks, and Loves Eating Carrots just typed, Hahaha!!
Bo Saixi noted, Bibi Dong stayed silent for a long time. You just handed her the perfect excuse to save face.
Liu Erlong complained, You all spoil her way too much!
In the Pope's Bedchamber at Spirit Hall, a loud bang echoed. Bibi Dong had hurled her jade mirror to the floor, half-dead with anger. She growled, Everyone go to sleep! That damnable Little Bastard... one day I will...
Halfway through her sentence, she noticed Hu Liena staring at her with wide eyes. She quickly rephrased her threat. One day I will wipe away this disgrace!
Hu Liena set down her own jade mirror and lay down on the bed. She thought to herself, Teacher, you finally changed your line from the usual ones. Hu Liena was now a little curious about something else.
From the exchange between the High Priest and Su Yan, it sounded like Su Yan and Little Xue shared a special connection. Su Yan even sent Little Xue red packets. She worried that Little Xue might have stolen a march on her. She wondered if Little Xue makes a move, can her teacher still make hers?
In the chat, Red Dust Dream Dream Dream wrote, Your Holiness, though you lost, you are still the mightiest person beneath the gods in my heart.
Dark Avenger replied, Enough flattery! A loss is a loss. What is this "in my heart" nonsense?
Red Dust Dream Dream Dream got angry. Evil Soul Master, shut up. Once an Evil Soul Master, always one. Go back and try to revive your Tang Sect!
Ma Xiaotao jumped in. Dream-Dream-Dream, are you looking for trouble?
Red Dust Dream Dream Dream did not back down. Do you want to gang up on me two-on-one? Your Shrek is trash and your Tang Sect is garbage. Send as many people as you like. One Rank-9 fixed soul missile and I will blast you all into the sky.
Group Member No. 9 tried to calm them down. Easy, easy. There is no need to get so salty over this.
Bo Saixi went back to the main topic. Su Yan, what exactly is that Spirit Ability of yours? It actually managed to trap three 99th-level Limitless Douluo?
Su Yan replied with a mysterious tone. It is called the Immortal Mansion of Everlasting Life, the Daoist who shares Heaven's longevity. It is a Divine Ability from a top-tier powerhouse across all the heavens. I am merely imitating a tiny shred of its surface.
Meanwhile, in a different place, Zhu Zhuqing was getting ready. She was about to absorb the system spirit ring she had received as her reward for the day. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Su Yan called out from outside. Zhuqing, open up. It is me, Rongrong.
Zhuqing opened the door and smiled. Su Yan, you are finally back.
She happily let Su Yan inside, but then she suddenly became tense. She remembered that she had planned to absorb the ring alone. She had sent Ning Rongrong to go sleep at Xiao Wu's place so she would not be disturbed.
Su Yan did not mind. He carried Zhuqing inside and asked her to activate her Spirit. He leaned in close to her and took a deep breath. He sniffed the air around her. He thought to himself that the fake clones can only be seen with the eyes, but they cannot be tasted. Only the huge Spirit of Zhuqing is real! It can be seen, it can be eaten, and it can be used.
Zhuqing did not know whether to laugh or cry at his behavior. She thought that if Su Yan loved the Hell Civet Spirit so much, maybe she should bring her sister over sooner to join them. Soon after, Zhuqing slowly knelt down. She activated the Hell Civet Spirit, and together, they worked to subdue the power of Su Yan's Spirit.
