Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 140 Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong

Just as the entire group was still traveling towards Wuhun City, a black figure had already arrived on horseback ahead of them. This person was none other than Yu Xiaogang.

When Yu Xiaogang arrived at the Papal Palace, the armored knights around him quickly drew their longswords and said in a very authoritative voice, "Halt! This is a forbidden area of ​​Martial Soul City. Take another step and you will be killed without mercy."

Yu Xiaogang quickly took out the papal decree and simply said, "Take me to see the Pope."

The people around immediately knelt down and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Elder. Please forgive us."

Following that, Yu Xiaogang, led by the team leader, arrived at a large hall in the Papal Palace. Tea had already been prepared, and the team leader left alone, leaving Yu Xiaogang behind.

It is difficult for anyone to see the Pope, even for the elders of the Spirit Hall, who must wait until Pope Bibi Dong has time.

Yu Xiaogang drank his tea alone, quietly waiting for Bibi Dong to receive him.

After an unknown amount of time, a woman's voice came from the doorway: "You all wait outside, and do not disturb us without my order."

Immediately afterwards, the hall door opened, and Bibi Dong, holding a scepter, slowly walked in and sat directly opposite Yu Xiaogang.

Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang looked at each other for a while before slowly speaking: "You've come. I thought you would never come to the Spirit Hall again."

Yu Xiaogang felt a bitter taste in his mouth, and a trace of melancholy appeared on his face as if he were recalling something: "Yes, I never thought I would come back here. How have you been all these years?"

Bibi Dong's face remained calm: "What's good or bad about it? I am above all others. As the ruler of the Spirit Hall, even the emperors of the two great empires or anyone else in the world would have to show me respect."

Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but sigh: "Bibi Dong, I know the bitterness in your heart."

Bibi Dong's face suddenly turned cold: "It's been a long time since anyone called me by that name, or addressed me as Your Majesty. I'm no longer the naive girl I used to be."

Yu Xiaogang's pupils contracted slightly, but seeing Bibi Dong's serious expression, he could only speak with a pained look on his face: "Yes, Your Holiness the Pope."

After these words, both of them fell silent. Yu Xiaogang seemed to want to hide his embarrassment and picked up his teacup to drink.

After a while, Bibi Dong's face seemed to have completely calmed down, and she said calmly, "What do you want from me? It's been about twenty years since we last met."

Yu Xiaogang composed himself in his awkward thoughts before finally speaking: "Your Holiness, I have a favor to ask of you."

A hint of amusement appeared on Bibi Dong's face: "Oh, this is interesting. Aren't you known as a master? Is there anything you need from me in this Soul World?"

Faced with Bibi Dong's words, Yu Xiaogang blushed slightly and looked a little embarrassed. Considering Tang San's situation, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask, "Your Holiness, I would like to know how you overcame the difficulties of cultivating twin martial souls?"

Bibi Dong's expression suddenly changed, and her voice instantly turned extremely cold: "You don't need to know this. What meaning does it have for you?"

Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth: "Your Holiness, I have taken on a student. He also possesses twin martial souls. This child is exceptionally talented, and I hope to nurture him."

Bibi Dong sneered, "Tang San, Tang Hao's son, possesses twin martial souls—the Clear Sky Hammer and the Blue Silver Grass. You must know the relationship between the Clear Sky Sect and my Spirit Hall. Do you think I'm a fool to tell the son of my enemy the cultivation method for twin martial souls?"

Yu Xiaogang quickly spoke up: "Your Holiness, Tang San is just a child. He doesn't know about the hatred between your previous generation. If you are willing to teach me the cultivation method of twin martial souls, I am willing to spend my life resolving the hatred between you and will never let him become an enemy of your Spirit Hall."

Bibi Dong snorted again: "That's unnecessary. Some hatreds can't be resolved. This child will die sooner or later anyway. I'd like to see what solution you, a master of the soul master world, will come up with when he cultivates the Twin Martial Souls and explodes. Do you think you can use your identity as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Jade Luo Crown to force me?"

Yu Xiaogang looked a little surprised: "What do you mean by that? I left the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family a long time ago and have nothing to do with those people anymore."

Bibi Dong just sneered: "What a fine 'no relation' statement. If I remember correctly, not long ago you and your good uncle Yu Luomian forced a child named Yang Ping'an to reveal his cultivation method."

Yu Xiaogang's face immediately darkened: "How did you know that?"

Bibi Dong just smiled and said, "What a master! You are known as the strongest in theoretical knowledge in the Soul Master world. You actually used your family's power to coerce a child. No wonder you are the kind of person who did those things back then."

"However, I also want to congratulate you. Over the years, you haven't made any research achievements on your own. Instead, you've relied on a child's knowledge to finally break through to level 30. But judging from your situation, I'm afraid you'll never have any hope of improving further in this lifetime. You'll just be an ordinary Soul Master in the end."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang blushed, but he couldn't bring himself to refute it.

However, Bibi Dong seemed determined to press her advantage: "If I remember correctly, it was Yu Luomian who stopped you from being with that woman, even at the cost of breaking ties with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. And yet, you went to Yu Luomian for your own sake. Is this the pride of your so-called invincible theoretical master?"

Yu Xiaogang was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood, but he absolutely could not lose face in front of Bibi Dong.

Finally, he stood up, forcing himself to walk out of the main hall.

However, Bibi Dong still spoke calmly: "Yu Xiaogang, although you were able to break through to level 30 through special methods, I still want to warn you that you'd better not do anything out of line or violate the rules of the Soul Master world, otherwise I will deal with you personally, and don't blame me for not showing any mercy then."

Yu Xiaogang gave a defiant sneer: "Your Holiness need not worry about that. Since I can continue to cultivate, I will surely be able to break through my limits again in the future."

"Furthermore, you'd better not try anything with Tang San. If you dare to hurt him, I will fight the Spirit Hall to the death. You should know my capabilities better than anyone else."

After saying that, Yu Xiaogang left the Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong watched Yu Xiaogang's departing figure and simply shook her head. Her second martial soul was the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor, and she was more aware than others of the side effects of devouring soul beasts to enhance herself. Although Luo Sanpao only devoured corpses, which was fundamentally different from devouring entire soul beasts and creatures, there were still certain hidden dangers.

When Yang Ping'an deliberately told Yu Xiaogang these things, he was actually planting a time bomb.
