Chapter 239: Bibi Dong Admits Defeat?
As their words fell, a golden pillar of light, even more dazzling and solid than before, shot into the sky from them, emanating a terrifying aura no less powerful than Yao Mei's, perhaps even several times stronger.
Like a sleeping emperor awakening, it descended upon the plaza before the Papal Palace!
The next second, a golden dragon spear, its entire body seemingly cast in gold, its design ancient yet radiating boundless majesty and an aura of destruction, condensed at the core of the golden light eruption, then transformed into a golden lightning bolt tearing through the sky, shooting towards Yao Mei's location!
Where the golden dragon spear passed, the air emitted a mournful cry.
That instant of brilliance seemed ancient and timeless, leaving behind a hazy, distorted, and dazzling spectacle, containing a terrifying power that seemed capable of piercing heaven and earth and judging all living beings!
"What?!"
Staring at the scene before her, Bibi Dong abruptly stood up, her deep, unfathomable eyes filled with utter shock and disbelief.
"This…this is a Spirit Fusion Technique?!"
With her knowledge and cultivation, how could she not sense the power contained within that golden dragon spear, a power far exceeding that of ordinary Spirit Fusion Techniques?
It was a light that even she found terrifying, enough to judge fate!
Bibi Dong had no idea that Tianxing Academy possessed such a terrifying trump card!
In fact, only four people in the Spirit Hall had actually witnessed Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier use the Spirit Fusion Technique: Qian Jun, Jiang Mo, Gui Bao, and Mo Xiong.
After their mission in the canyon failed, Qian Jun and Jiang Mo returned directly to the Hall of Worship to report to Qian Daoliu, without giving Bibi Dong a detailed account.
Gui Bao Douluo was first severely injured by the Crimson King, then struck by a heavy hammer from the enraged Tang Hao.
When Chrysanthemum Douluo brought him back, he was on the verge of death and remained unconscious, unable to transmit any useful information.
As for Demon Bear Douluo, his mysterious disappearance, coupled with the unbelievable rumors, completely severed this channel of information about Spirit Fusion Techniques.
Therefore, Bibi Dong was unaware of Spirit Fusion Techniques.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo stood up with her, their shock no less than Bibi Dong's, their expressions instantly turning solemn. Just as the Golden Dragon Spear, imbued with the power to judge fate, was about to strike the demonic creature in its fusion state within the red mist,
Bibi Dong, standing on the high platform, vanished without warning!
The next instant, she appeared out of thin air on the arena like a ghost, shielding the demonic creature from the Golden Dragon Spear with her own body!
At the same time, a terrifying pressure, enough to change the very heavens and earth, erupted like a volcano dormant for millennia, instantly engulfing the entire Papal Palace Square!
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!
Nine spirit rings spiraled upwards from Bibi Dong's feet, especially the last one, which shared the same origin as Tang Chuan's 100,000-year spirit ring, yet was even more profound and powerful.
That crimson 100,000-year spirit ring shone with dazzling light, directly piercing the eyes of many low-level spirit masters present!
Under this absolute pressure, the entire plaza instantly fell silent, many people even feeling their breath frozen. Almost all spirit masters, including the contestants on the arena, felt their souls tremble—the instinctive fear of low-level spirit masters facing a supreme being.
Facing the golden dragon spear that shot towards them, Bibi Dong's face was icy cold. She merely raised her right hand, adorned with an exquisite gemstone ring, and seemingly casually pointed it at the spear tip.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, no booming sound of energy colliding.
The instant her fingertips touched the golden dragon spear...
"Crack... Bang!"
The golden dragon spear, formed from a spirit fusion technique and powerful enough to threaten even a Soul Saint or Soul Douluo, shattered like fragile glass, letting out a mournful cry of unbearable strain. It instantly disintegrated into countless golden specks of light, vanishing without a trace.
With a mere gesture, she easily neutralized this spirit fusion technique capable of turning the tide of battle!
The next second, Bibi Dong slowly withdrew her finger, her icy gaze sweeping over the grave expressions of Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier opposite her, finally settling on Xie Yue and Hu Liena, who were pale and still shaken, forced to dispel their spirit fusion technique due to her sudden intervention.
The golden specks of light from the shattered golden dragon spear had not yet completely dissipated in the air.
Bibi Dong slowly placed the right hand, which had just effortlessly shattered the dragon spear, behind her back. Hidden beneath the wide sleeves of her papal robes, no one noticed that her seemingly rock-solid fingers trembled slightly, a faint tingling sensation spreading through her fingertips.
"This Spirit Fusion Technique actually contains such strange power?" A hint of surprise flashed through her mind, but Bibi Dong's outward appearance remained as cold as ice, showing no sign of it.
"If both of them were to advance to the Soul Douluo level, I'm afraid..."
At this moment, after a brief period of deathly silence, the entire plaza was instantly engulfed by a huge uproar and discussion!
"Her Holiness the Pope...she actually went down to the arena herself?"
"This...what is this? The match isn't over yet!"
"Is the Spirit Hall sore losers, trying to forcibly interfere with the match?"
"Heavens, is this how the Spirit Hall's honor is to be upheld?"
Countless questioning, confused, and even indignant gazes were cast towards Bibi Dong on the arena. The Spirit Hall's consistently cultivated image of fairness and authority seemed to have a crack at this moment.
"Her Holiness the Pope! What do you want to do?!"
Just in this chaos, a green streak of light flashed onto the arena like lightning.
Dugu Bo's face was ashen. Without hesitation, he stepped in front of Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier, his dark green pupils fixed on Bibi Dong, a faint green poisonous mist emanating from his body, giving him the air of someone ready to fight to the death at the slightest provocation. Despite the uproar and Dugu Bo's tense demeanor, Bibi Dong's gaze bypassed him, finally settling on the calmly standing Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier behind him.
She ignored Dugu Bo's questioning.
Instead, in a flat tone devoid of emotion, she slowly said,
"Very good, you...very good."
"Your Spirit Fusion Technique surprised me."
She paused, as if savoring the brief exchange, "and it also allowed me...to personally experience the strength of your Spirit Fusion Technique."
These words left everyone bewildered, unsure of her intentions.
However, the next moment, Bibi Dong made a move that left everyone speechless.
She slowly raised her left hand, adorned with a jeweled ring, and gently tapped her scepter on the ground. Her clear, cold, and authoritative voice instantly resounded throughout the arena:
"Given the astonishing strength displayed by the Tianxing Academy team, especially the power of their Spirit Fusion Technique, I hereby declare the Spirit Hall Academy the loser."
"I hereby announce that the ultimate champion of this year's Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament is—Tianxing Academy!"
Boom!!!
This announcement was like a bucket of cold water poured into a boiling oil pan, instantly causing an unprecedented uproar!
The entire arena erupted in commotion! Exclamations, doubts, and discussions soared to the heavens!
No one had expected the competition to end so abruptly and in such a way!
The Spirit Hall team hadn't even truly made a move.
The Pope had actually personally stepped onto the stage to declare their opponent the winner?
Not only were Hu Liena and her companions in disbelief, but even the other elders of the Spirit Hall on the high platform were shocked. In their view, both sides were using Spirit Fusion Techniques; theoretically, the outcome should only be known after a direct confrontation.
Hearing this news, Yan, not far away, immediately stepped forward, saying with a defiant expression,
"Your Holiness, how could they have won? It was clearly us who won!"
