Douluo Continent: I am the Ice Archer, my ice power is invincible.

Chapter 74 Intercepting Xiao Han and Tang San

The day before Xue Qinghe led the main force to set off, Yu Xiaogang left quietly, and even Tang San didn't know where he went.

The journey to Wuhun City is long and will take about twenty days.

On the other side, in Wuhun City.

Inside the spacious yet cold Papal Palace, Bibidon sat high on the papal chair, her face detached and aloof.

She had received a letter from Platinum Bishop Salas, informing her that Tang San possessed twin martial souls and that Xiao Han's performance was extraordinary.

There were two other people standing inside the main hall.

One of them looked extremely effeminate, and whose gender was difficult to discern; it was none other than Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan.

The other one, dressed in all black, with his face obscured, was none other than Ghost Douluo, Ghost Phantom.

Both of them were originally subordinates of the former Pope Qian Xunji, and now they are both confidants of Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong began to speak:

"Important news has arrived from Salas in Heaven Dou City. Many talented individuals, even geniuses, have emerged in this year's Soul Master Competition. Among the participating teams, the Heavenly Water Academy team is the most outstanding. They have three Soul Kings above level 50 and five Soul Masters above level 40, making their overall strength in no way inferior to our Spirit Hall Academy team. Moreover, they have maintained a perfect record in both the preliminary and qualifying rounds in the Heaven Dou region."

Upon hearing this, the two elders exchanged surprised glances.

Yue Guan said:

"Your Holiness, how did Tianshui Academy suddenly become so strong? I remember they used to be only among the top five."

"I don't know the specifics. According to the information Salas has, there is a male member of the Tianshui Academy team with innate full soul power named Xiao Han. His martial soul is somewhat similar to the Five-Supreme Light Feather Divine Bow. His soul ring configuration is yellow, purple, purple, black, black. He is quite strong. He defeated the entire Thunder Academy by himself."

The two elders were even more shocked, never expecting that Tianshui Academy had male students.

Yue Guan said:

"He was born with full soul power, his second soul ring is already a thousand years old, and he also has two ten-thousand-year soul rings. Your Majesty, this person is the biggest threat to the Spirit Hall Academy team's championship victory."

The ghost continued:

"Yes, even Xie Yue and Yan probably couldn't defeat the entire Thunder Academy team on their own. If this person can't be used by the Spirit Hall, he absolutely cannot be allowed to live."

Bibi Dong gave a cold, sinister smile.

"The two elders are right. So, I need you to do something. Under no circumstances should the soul bones I prepared for Nana and the other two fall into the hands of outsiders."

Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a smile, understanding Bibi Dong's meaning.

Bibi Dong prepared three soul bones as a reward for the champion of this Soul Master Competition: the Wisdom Skull of Spiritual Condensation, the Right Arm Bone of Explosive Burning Flame, and the Left Leg Bone of Extreme Speed ​​Chasing Wind.

Among them, the highest quality spirit skull, aged up to 50,000 years, was specially prepared for Hu Liena; the Flame Right Arm Bone was prepared for Yan; and the Extreme Speed ​​Left Leg Bone was prepared for Xie Yue.

For Soul Masters, every Soul Bone is incredibly precious and rare, something that can only be encountered by chance.

This time, Bibi Dong offered such a generous reward, so it was naturally not to fall into the hands of outsiders.

Therefore, she will ensure that the Spirit Hall Academy team wins the Soul Master Tournament, and all obstacles will be removed.

However, the more important thing right now is to get rid of Tang San, who possesses twin martial souls.

Bibi Dong continued:

"Besides Xiao Han, there is another person who deserves more attention, namely Tang San from Shrek Academy. Although his strength is not as good as Xiao Han's, he is also born with full soul power, broke through level 40 at the age of fourteen, and has twin martial souls."

The two elders exchanged a glance, and were once again taken aback.

Originally, only Pope Bibi Dong possessed twin martial souls in this world, but suddenly Tang San appeared.

They immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

Yue Guan said:

"Your Holiness, it seems that Tang San cannot be allowed to live either."

Bibi Dong snorted coldly, a wicked look on her face.

"Tang San cannot be allowed to live! Because his twin martial souls are Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer."

"What?!"

Hearing this, Yue Guan and Gui Mei were even more shocked.

Both of them had previously followed the former Pope Qian Xunji in hunting down the 100,000-year-old soul beast Blue Silver Emperor, which had taken human form, and knew what these two martial souls meant.

The ghost said:

"Your Holiness, Tang San must be the bastard child of Tang Hao and that soul beast. I never expected him to still be alive, and even dare to show himself in the world."

"Your Holiness, the monstrous combination of human soul masters and soul beasts may pose a significant threat and must be eliminated as soon as possible."

Bibi Dong nodded.

"You two take men to intercept and kill Tang San. Don't let him reach Spirit City alive. Also, kill Xiao Han if he refuses to submit to the Spirit Hall. Remember, this is a secret mission; don't leave any evidence."

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope."

Bibi Dong thought of Yu Xiaogang and reminded him:

"Tang San is Elder Yu's disciple, so be careful not to accidentally hurt him."

"yes!"

Afterwards, Yue Guan and Gui Mei left the Papal Palace.

Looking at the empty hall, a complex smile appeared on Bibi Dong's face.

"Xiao Gang, isn't Tang San your prized disciple? I'll let you experience what it's like to lose your beloved, hahaha!"

~~~~~~

Unbeknownst to them, Xue Qinghe and his large army had been traveling from Tiandou City for over ten days.

On this day, escorted by five hundred Royal Knights, the Soul Master team arrived at a hilly area.

This is a small path leading to Wuhun City, which can save you dozens of miles of travel.

The captain of the Royal Knights, leading the way, suddenly shouted:

"Everyone on alert, something's up!"

The carriages of each college's procession came to a stop.

As Xiao Han and his group disembarked from the carriage, they felt a chilling aura emanating from the hills on either side.

Dean Zhao looked around warily and said:

"Everyone, stay focused, don't get separated!"

Lin Zhiruo and Dean Zhao stood on either side, blocking the participating students from Tianshui College in the middle.

Xiao Han and his teammates' outstanding performance in the Soul Master Competition gave Dean Zhao hope of winning the championship.

To ensure their safety, Dean Zhao personally accompanied them to Wuhun City.

Xiao Han looked around and realized that it was the people from the Spirit Hall who had arrived.

He knew that their goal was to intercept and kill Tang San.

Of course, given Bibi Dong's personality and methods, it's also possible that she would send someone to intercept and kill him.

After all, his outstanding performance in the Soul Master Competition has threatened the Spirit Hall Academy team's championship plans.

Lin Zhiruo said:

"Don't worry, children. With Dean Zhao and me here, we will definitely protect you."

Lin Zhiruo and Dean Zhao exchanged a glance, both ready for battle.

Suddenly, countless boulders tumbled down from the hills on both sides like raindrops.

The boulders tumbled and dust billowed, turning the entire hillside into chaos in an instant.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the captain of the Royal Knights ordered the troops to speed up their advance.

As they advanced, the soldiers split into two rows, left and right, and fought desperately to fend off the rolling boulders.
