Douluo Continent: Reborn as the Ten-Headed Fiery Serpent, May You Have Many Children and Abundant Bl

One of the Templar Knights spoke respectfully: "This man wishes to see the Pope, but without a papal decree, we cannot allow him to pass!"

"Oh?"

Hearing the explanation from the Temple Knights, Ghost Douluo was slightly surprised. Then he turned around and asked Gu Junlin, "What do you want with the Pope?"

Gu Junlin glanced at the other person calmly, then said indifferently, "I want to join the Spirit Hall."

"Join the Spirit Hall?"

Ghost Douluo nodded, his impression of Gu Junlin improving somewhat.

He then asked, slightly puzzled, "Any branch hall can join the Spirit Hall, so why did you choose to come to the Pope's Hall?"

Gu Junlin did not answer, but looked at Ghost Douluo with a half-smile.

Then, his body trembled slightly, and a world-destroying aura surged out from his body.

It encompassed everyone present.

Suddenly

The hundreds of paladins present were struck dumb, frozen in place as if by lightning.

Ghost Douluo was in no better shape; large beads of cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and his whole body trembled slightly.

Gu Junlin grinned slightly, revealing a demonic smile, his voice seemingly emanating from the deepest hell, echoing throughout the space.

"With my cultivation level, going to the branch hall seems inappropriate, doesn't it?"

After speaking, Gu Junlin withdrew his aura and stood still, cold and arrogant.

After Gu Junlin withdrew his aura, the hundreds of temple knights immediately went weak and collapsed to the ground.

Ghost Douluo also let out a long breath, his tense body relaxing.

After giving Gu Junlin a deep look, Ghost Douluo said in a slightly trembling voice, "Please follow me, Your Excellency!"

Then, Ghost Douluo ignored the fallen Temple Knights and led Gu Junlin into the Papal Palace.

Before long, the two arrived at the Papal Palace council hall.

Ghost Douluo summoned his subordinates and instructed them to inform Pope Qian Xunji, while he himself stayed quietly with Gu Junlin and waited.

In the vast council hall, spanning over a thousand square meters, only the two of them were present at this moment.

Ghost Douluo silently observed Gu Junlin, trying to discern something from him.

Gu Junlin, on the other hand, observed his surroundings with great interest.

As expected of the strongest force in Douluo Continent, even their council hall is exceptionally luxurious.

The magnificent hall resembled a royal palace from a movie or TV series from my past life.

Soon,

The three-meter-high archway opened, and a powerful voice rang out.

"Ghost, what brings you in such a hurry to summon me, the Pope?"

Upon hearing the voice, Gu Junlin's expression hardened, and he turned to look at the person who had entered.

The newcomer was seven feet tall, dressed in golden armor, and looked imposing.

"Is this Qian Xunji, the Secret Chamber Douluo?"

Gu Junlin murmured to himself, "Although Qian Xunji does nothing right, he still looks quite respectable on the surface."

"I hope you won't do anything to hurt Dong'er, or I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Upon seeing Qian Xunji arrive, Ghost Douluo quickly stood up and respectfully bowed.

"Your Holiness, I have a very important matter that requires your decision!"

Qian Xunji sat down in the main seat of the council hall and asked calmly, "What is it?"

Ghost Douluo pointed to Gu Junlin beside him and respectfully said, "This gentleman wishes to join the Spirit Hall!"

Upon hearing Ghost Douluo's words, Qian Xunji was slightly taken aback and spoke with considerable impatience.

"Joining the Spirit Hall is a trivial matter that you can decide for yourself. Is it really necessary for me to come in person?"

Hearing Qian Xunji's slightly impatient tone, Ghost Douluo was startled and hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty is unaware that this gentleman is a Title Douluo. I dare not act on my own initiative!"

"what?!"

Before he could even sit down properly, Qian Xunji jumped up, looked at Gu Junlin, and said incredulously, "You are a Title Douluo?!"

Gu Junlin nodded calmly, his expression undisturbed.

He then stood up, his eyes revealing an intense longing for greater power!

"I have devoted myself to cultivation for over a hundred years, and now my strength has reached a bottleneck. In order to break through, I ended my seclusion and traveled the world. Along the way, I heard that the Spirit Hall is the number one power in Douluo Continent, so I came to take a look."

After saying that, Gu Junlin sighed slightly and continued, "I hope the Spirit Hall won't disappoint me and will allow me to find an opportunity for a breakthrough!"

After receiving confirmation from Gu Junlin, Qian Xunji fell silent.

Even within the Spirit Hall, a Title Douluo holds an extremely high position.

If placed in one of the two great empires, they would be considered an honored guest.

Now, an unknown Title Douluo claims he wants to join the Spirit Hall?

Qian Xunji couldn't help but wonder if this person was an undercover agent sent by an enemy force.

But he quickly put the idea out of his mind.

Because throughout the entire Douluo Continent, no other force is so arrogant as to use a Title Douluo as an undercover agent!

"Do you truly intend to join the Spirit Hall?"

Chapter 43: The Trial - Battle Against Ghost Douluo!

"Do you truly intend to join the Spirit Hall?"

Qian Xunji's tone was extremely solemn.

Even as the Pope of the Spirit Hall, he still highly valued the combat power of Title Douluos.

Therefore, upon hearing that a Title Douluo wanted to join the Spirit Hall, he couldn't help but feel excited.

If he could recruit Gu Junlin into his ranks, his position would be further consolidated.

Gu Junlin nodded calmly, displaying the demeanor of a reclusive sage, and slowly began to speak.

"But let me make this clear from the start: if I can't find a breakthrough opportunity in the Spirit Hall, then I will leave."

"You can rest assured about that. The Spirit Hall has been established for ten thousand years and has cultivated countless Title Douluos. No matter how special you are, you will be able to find an opportunity to break through!"

Upon hearing Gu Junlin's words, Qian Xunji readily agreed.

In reality, he didn't care at all whether Gu Junlin could break through.

In his view, the most important thing now is to keep Gu Junlin calm.

Once the other party joins the Spirit Hall, he has plenty of ways to tie them to the Spirit Hall's warship.

Moreover, if you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way.

If you let the other party join the Spirit Hall too easily, it will definitely arouse their suspicion.

Thinking of this, Qian Xunji pretended to be insincere and said, "However, Your Excellency, the Spirit Hall is not a place you can join at will."

"You must pass the Spirit Hall's test to have a chance to join the Spirit Hall!"

Gu Junlin gave Qian Xunji a deep look, his mind filled with thoughts, and said, "No problem."

"Alright, please come with me." After saying that, Qian Xunji turned to Ghost Douluo and instructed, "Ghost, you come too."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Pope!"

……

Before long, the three of them arrived at the Spirit Hall's martial arts arena.

Qian Xunji stopped and turned to look at Gu Junlin, "May I ask how you are addressed?"

Without a second thought, Gu Junlin directly stated the title he had already decided on, "Ten Heads."

Qian Xunji spoke up, "Lord Shishou, I need you to prove your strength. Is there a problem?"

Gu Junlin nodded slightly.

Seeing that Gu Junlin had agreed, Qian Xunji turned to Ghost Douluo and said, "Ghost, ask Lord Ten Heads for some tips. Remember, stop short of a contest."

"Yes!"

Ghost Douluo nodded bitterly.

To be honest, he didn't want to fight Gu Junlin.

Because he had previously experienced Gu Junlin's power, he knew he was no match for him.

But he couldn't disobey Qian Xunji's orders, so he bowed to Gu Junlin with a bitter face and said, "Lord Ten, please show mercy."

Gu Junlin said expressionlessly, "Please."
