"You want to gamble again?"
Lu Yuan discovered that Tang San also seemed to be a thoroughbred gambling addict, a pure gambler who would gamble on anything.
"In the upcoming match, our Shrek Team will defeat Spirit Hall Academy. I hope that in the finals, you and I will fight with all our might!"
"If you lose, I want you to return the Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges you took, and publicly kowtow to me and my teacher in front of all Spirit Masters in the world to atone for your sins."
Tang San stared intently at Lu Yuan, afraid that Lu Yuan, displeased with the bet, would directly refuse.
He was already prepared; if he were truly refused, he would provoke Lu Yuan with words, determined to make him accept the bet.
The Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges were of little use to him now. The real reason he wanted to fight Lu Yuan was the failure he experienced over a year ago. Tang San, who had always felt extraordinary since childhood, could not accept such a defeat.
He wanted to prove, in front of everyone, that he was not inferior to Lu Yuan, and even stronger than him in terms of strength and talent.
"Alright, if you want to fight, I can accompany you to the end. But if you lose, you'll have to kneel properly before me."
Lu Yuan sneered, stating his own condition directly.
"Hmph, agreeing to this bet will undoubtedly be your biggest mistake. Just wait, I will make you willingly kneel before me."
Tang San left, satisfied. With his seven-person SpiritFusion Skill, he was certain he wouldn't lose.
As for the Star Luo Royal Team, while powerful, they were not insurmountable.
--- Looking at the departing Tang San, Lu Yuan's eyes showed no ripples.
With Tang San's current strength, he simply couldn't pique Lu Yuan's interest in the slightest. Even if the other party were to pull out something unexpected, Lu Yuan was confident he could handle everything.
Three days was not a long time, but under everyone's anticipation, it felt incredibly protracted.
When the three days passed, the venue was already buzzing with discussion before the Emcee even began the warm-up.
Some spoke of the terrifying strength of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, while others mentioned that Lu Yuan of the Heaven Dou Team had never truly displayed his full power.
Some people from the Star Luo Empire naturally spoke with unconcealed pride about how powerful their Star Luo Imperial Family's Hell White Tiger was.
Amidst the discussions, the Emcee arrived gracefully.
As the Emcee's warm-up began, the atmosphere in the venue grew even more fervent.
And with the arrival of one person, everyone instantly fell silent from their fervor.
After the silence, there was a thunderous roar of cheers!
A figure, dressed in ceremonial robes and holding the Supreme Pontiff's scepter, slowly emerged from the Supreme Pontiff Palace!
This figure was naturally the legendary Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong, and accompanying Bibi Dong were five other figures!
They were Ning Fengzhi, the current Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, whose spirit power had already Broken Through to rank 80; Sword Douluo, whose strength had reached rank 96; and the Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo of Spirit Hall.
The last one, however, was someone no one had expected.
This was a gaunt, white-haired old man, with a straight posture like a spear. This was precisely Poison DouluoDugu Bo, whose strength had Broken Through to rank 94 in recent years.
As Bibi Dong emerged from Spirit Hall, everyone present immediately knelt, prostrating themselves before Bibi Dong.
Lu Yuan also cupped his hands. Currently, he had no enmity with Bibi Dong, and she was the current Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall, so showing appropriate respect was only right.
The Heaven Dou Team also followed Lu Yuan in cupping their hands towards Bibi Dong.
Among countless people, only the Shrek Team stood out remarkably.
None of the Shrek Team members bowed, whether by kneeling or by cupping their hands like Lu Yuan.
Xiao Wu, who had somehow concealed her aura, even glared fiercely at Bibi Dong, as if looking at her mother's murderer.
Their behavior quickly attracted the attention of some high-ranking officials in Spirit Hall.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged glances, instantly releasing their pressure and locking onto Shrek Academy.
Under the deliberate targeting of two Titled Douluo, the faces of the Shrek Academy members involuntarily turned pale.
Just as Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were about to continue teaching Shrek Academy a lesson, Bibi Dong, as the Supreme Pontiff, looked at them with an expression.
Her gaze was extremely calm, even brewing with a hint of displeasure.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's faces immediately turned pale under Bibi Dong's gaze. Two Titled Douluo, whose strength had reached rank 95, were treated so casually.
Looking at the Shrek Team, a hint of emotion appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes.
Xiaogang, are these the children you wanted to prove to the continent!
What astonishing talent!
After her internal reflections, Bibi Dong did not speak but instead shifted her gaze back to Lu Yuan.
Feeling the slight stagnation of the spirit power within her, Bibi Dong's gaze narrowed involuntarily, and her eyes grew obscure. Indeed, just as she had guessed, this child named Lu Yuan was the one who had suppressed her that day.
To possess such spirit power at such a young age, he truly deserved to be a Genius whom even the gods actively chose.
Even Qian Renxue would be hard-pressed to compare.
"Are you Lu Yuan? What astonishing talent!"
"Would you like to join our Spirit Hall? I can personally take you as my disciple."
Bibi Dong still had ambition. For a Genius like Lu Yuan, it would naturally be a good thing if she could take him under her wing.
"His Holiness the Pope personally taking a disciple?"
"Hiss—has this Lu Yuan already become so outstanding?!"
"Wow, why isn't His Holiness the Pope taking me as a disciple?"
"If His Holiness the Pope were to take me as a disciple, I'd even be willing to be the Supreme Pontiff and live in the palace!"
Bibi Dong's sudden offer to take a disciple directly shocked everyone in the venue.
Even Dugu Bo, who had lost interest in everything after obtaining the snow-colored swan kiss, now raised his head slightly in surprise.
However, he quickly lowered his head again, for he already knew the final outcome.
"I may have to disappoint His Holiness the Pope. To be honest, I already have a teacher."
"Although she doesn't possess your exceptional spirit power, His Holiness the Pope, her help to me has been impeccable."
"Therefore, please allow me to refuse the matter of joining your sect!"
Lu Yuan had no intention of becoming Bibi Dong's disciple, and besides, he didn't need a teacher for his Cultivation.
The help Bibi Dong could offer him was truly not significant.
