Chapter 222: Royal Fighting Team's First Battle
At this moment, Hu Liena's cheeks were flushed with an alluring blush. She felt dizzy from this sudden, happy trouble, as if she might faint from excitement. As for what Xie Yue and Yan were buzzing about in her ear just now, she hadn't heard a single word.
It wasn't until Xie Yue, seeing her long silence, reached out and poked her arm with a puzzled look that Hu Liena jolted as if waking from a dream, hurriedly withdrawing her obsessed gaze.
"Ah?...Um... Right!"
Hu Liena haphazardly smoothed her golden hair by her ear, avoiding her brother's gaze guiltily as she gave a perfunctory reply:
"It should... not be a big problem..."
Seeing his sister like this, Xie Yue felt something was off, though he couldn't put his finger on what.
Beside them, Yan didn't notice the subtle atmosphere at all. Still acting like an oblivious piece of gum, he frantically tried to curry favor with Hu Liena. "Nana is right! With us here, we will definitely secure the final victory!"
At those words, Hu Liena, who had been immersed in romantic fantasies, was instantly jolted awake. Her brows knitted, and she glared at Yan with utter disgust.
"Yan! How many times have I told you? We aren't close enough for that! You are not allowed to call me Nana!"
Yan:...
Seeing Hu Liena's cold, almost repulsed gaze, the smile on Yan's face froze instantly. He felt a bleak, cold wind blow past. For some reason, he suddenly felt that he shouldn't be at Spirit Hall; Gotham was his true home.
...
Unlike the noisy Golden Generation, Pope Bibi Dong had also hidden her true identity and aura, quietly appearing in a shadowy spot with an excellent view of the arena.
"Rakshasa God... could I trouble you to investigate whether that little girl in the Tang Sect team with the rabbit-ear hair accessory is truly a Hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast in human form?"
As she spoke, the dark purple Legacy divine mark on Bibi Dong's forehead flickered slightly.
Deep within the divine mark, the Divine Thought of the Rakshasa God—the one that had once enticed Bibi Dong to devour Qian Xunji's Soul—followed Bibi Dong's gaze and conducted an extremely secretive probe.
'Heh, she really is a Hundred Thousand Year Transformed Soft Bones Rabbit. But it seems she has consumed some top-grade Heaven And Earth Treasure, which has tightly masked her Soul Beast aura."
The Rakshasa God wasn't particularly satisfied with Bibi Dong as her successor. After all, that woman's hopeless romance-brain was truly an insult to the Divine Might of a god.
But who told her, the Rakshasa God, to have offended the Asura God long ago? She wanted nothing more than to escape that damned cage of the God Realm. Thus, Bibi Dong was less of a successor and more of a perfect scapegoat she had painstakingly sought to take the fall for her.
Considering that Bibi Dong was about to become a god and take the blame for her, and as compensation for not giving enough rewards for the divine trials, the Rakshasa God was more than happy to help with such a simple investigation.
However! Just as the Rakshasa God was about to inform Bibi Dong of Xiao Wu's true identity, her Divine Thought suddenly trembled uncontrollably!
She actually sensed an extremely rich and pure Sea God aura from that youth named Tang San!
That wasn't all. When her Divine Thought inadvertently brushed past the man named Jiang Li beside Tang San... the terrifying Divine Might belonging to the Life God King and the God King of Destruction nearly caused this wisp of her Divine Thought to dissipate on the spot!
The Sea God was also a first-class Divinity, so the Rakshasa God naturally wasn't afraid of him.
But... if she had already offended the Enforcer, the Asura God, and then simultaneously provoked the two supreme God Kings of the God Realm—Life and Destruction...!
'Damn it! This troublemaking idiot Bibi Dong! How could she provoke such existences!"
The Rakshasa God cursed inwardly. Now that Bibi Dong had completed most of the divine trials, and seeing that she would soon be able to toss away this hot potato of a God Position and flee, she absolutely could not allow any mishaps at this critical juncture! She must not let those two God Kings notice her presence!
Gritting her teeth, the Rakshasa God decisively chose to "follow her heart."
"Bibi Dong, there is indeed something wrong with the aura on that little girl."
The Rakshasa God forced herself to remain calm and said in a stiff tone, "However, the power masking her aura is extremely strange. This Divine Thought of mine cannot give you a definitive conclusion for now. As for whether she is a Transformed Soul Beast, go test her yourself."
After dropping this ambiguous nonsense, the Rakshasa God instantly severed the Divine Thought connection.
Sensing the withdrawal of the Rakshasa Divine Thought from her mind, Bibi Dong frowned slightly but didn't think much of it.
As the most noble woman on the continent, there were some things for which she didn't need one hundred percent conclusive evidence.
Suspicion was enough!
Even if, by some miracle, that girl named Xiao Wu wasn't the remnant of that Hundred Thousand Year Soft Bones Rabbit that had escaped back then, just the fact that the people of the Tang Sect had reduced her beloved Xiaogang to such a state meant that she, Bibi Dong, would make them pay a heavy price!
...
As the referee announced the start of the match, the members of both teams stepped onto the arena.
In this battle, the captain of the Elephant Armored Team, Hu Yan Li, also understood that their goal was to gauge the strength of the Royal Fighting Team as much as possible.
On the stage, the Sect Master of the Elephant Armored Academy, Hu Yan Zhen, gave his Son a subtle look, signaling that they didn't need to hold anything back.
"The match begins! Both sides have one minute to prepare. When the bell rings, the match officially starts!"
With the referee's command, both sides activated their Martial Souls simultaneously, and various Soul Rings filled the arena.
Although Tang San and the others' Soul Rings were shocking—especially Tang San's logic-defying ten-thousand-year fourth ring—
The gazes of a large portion of the audience fell, as if by prior agreement, on the new face in the team.
Pure white wings emitted waves of rich light aura, coupled with a 5-ring cultivation...
"Who is that?"
"I remember the Royal Fighting Team only had six people before, didn't they?"
"I originally thought the Royal Fighting Team would compete with six members, or promote someone from the second team."
In the spectator stands, people began to whisper.
"No idea, but looking at her Martial Soul, it should be a Swan. Perhaps she's from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family."
Watching from the shadows, Bibi Dong saw Qian Renxue on the stage and felt her temples throbbing.
The gap between their Spirit Hall team and the Royal Fighting Team was already significant, and now her rebellious daughter had actually come to interfere? What was she trying to do?
