Douluo Continent: The Time-Stopping Evil Dragon, They All Want to Tame Me

Chapter 100: Declaring a Challenge!

"Report—"

"The Spirit Hall has sent an envoy with a challenge!"

The western border between the Star Dou Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire.

The representatives of the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire, who were holding a secret meeting, were both astonished.

Why would the Spirit Hall send a challenge here?

Did they know the every move of the two great empires?

Xue Xing, the regent of the Heavenly Dou Empire, instantly turned green.

How was the secrecy maintained?

"Oh, Prince Xuexing, please calm down. Actually, our trip wasn't exactly a secret."

"Indeed." Recalling that they had led their army in a grand procession without any attempt to conceal it, Prince Xuexing sighed, fearing that the Spirit Hall might not know that the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire were about to hold an alliance meeting.

"What did the challenge say?"

"The Pope said that no matter how much our Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire unite, we will never be a match for the Spirit Hall."

"If we know what's good for us, we should surrender quickly. He can guarantee the lives of all of you here, and may even grant you titles and honors. But if you resist, the Spirit Hall will surely take drastic measures, and then we will not be able to guarantee your safety."

"It is precisely for this reason that the Pope proposed that the Spirit Hall and our two great empires arrange a day for a decisive battle."

"Hmph!" Prince Xuexing couldn't help but sneer after hearing this, "Everyone knows that apart from having many Soul Masters, the Spirit Hall is no match for our two great empires in any way."

"decisive battle?"

"Our Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire don't even need a decisive battle; we can wear down the Spirit Hall simply by stalling."

"Her little Spirit Hall isn't even as big as one of our vassal states. I don't understand what gives Bibi Dong the audacity to call herself the Spirit Empire!"

The representative from the Star Luo Empire nodded repeatedly in agreement with the Blood Star Prince's words.

In terms of the number of Soul Masters, the two great empires combined may not even have as many as the Spirit Hall.

However, in terms of territory, wealth, soldiers, and other aspects, the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire combined far surpass the Spirit Hall by dozens of times.

The main strategy is to drag things out slowly, making the war between the two sides last for 5 or 10 years, which will inevitably lead to the collapse of the Spirit Hall.

It's important to know that it takes decades to train a Soul Master.

Therefore, Soul Masters are essentially expendable resources in war.

Every death is a loss.

The two great empires could easily exchange the lives of 50 or 100 ordinary soldiers for the life of a single Soul Master from the Spirit Hall!

When the two great empires suffered the loss of a million soldiers, the Spirit Hall would also suffer at least tens of thousands of casualties among its spirit masters.

At that time, apart from the fact that the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire have fewer high-end combat forces at the Title Douluo level than the Spirit Empire, their war potential is far greater than that of the Spirit Empire!

"Should we return the challenge?" Prince Xuexing asked the representative of the Xingluo Empire.

This person's eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, and the deep brown pupils shone with a light of determination and wisdom.

His arched eyebrows added to his heroic air.

Upon hearing Prince Xuexing's suggestion, he frowned slightly, a golden light flashing across his brows as if a flame of conviction was burning within him.

This person is none other than Dai Mubai's older brother, Davis!

He wore a white and gold suit of armor, making Davis look exceptionally imposing.

The armor's intricate and complex patterns, each line seemingly imbued with the essence of power, displaying both his noble status and the ruggedness and bravery of a warrior.

The wide belt he wore around his waist was inlaid with dazzling gemstones, which swayed gently with his movements, emitting a captivating luster.

Davis's long hair, like Dai Mubai's, was golden and cascaded down like a waterfall. Each strand seemed to contain the power of the wind, dancing lightly in the breeze, while also exuding supreme majesty.

"Go back, of course we have to go back!"

"Shall we take the head of their Martial Soul Empire envoy as our reply?"

As Davis spoke, a wicked smile flashed across his lips, while his eyes revealed an intense ruthlessness.

Upon hearing his words, Prince Xuexing immediately understood what he meant.

When two countries are at war, envoys are not to be killed.

Davis's suggestion to use the head of the envoy from the Spirit Empire as a reply was tantamount to conveying to Bibi Dong the attitude of the two empires to resolutely fight to the end!

This is indeed a good way to demonstrate the determination of the two great empires to fight each other.

However, it's somewhat unethical.

"Oh? I heard you want my head." Suddenly, an old voice came from outside the tent.

"Huh?"

Davis and Prince Snowstar exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with confusion.

"Who?"

"I am an envoy of the Spirit Hall, known as the Porcupine."

Porcupinefish?

"What? It's actually the Porcupine Douluo!"

Chaos reigned within the tent until an old man in a black robe behind Davis removed his cloak, revealing his true face, and the crowd gradually quieted down.

This old man was a titled Douluo from the Star Luo Empire.

Its crown title is "Fierce Leopard".

"I think it wouldn't be unreasonable to use your head as a reply to demonstrate the Star Luo Empire's stance!"

"Don't talk to me about basic battlefield etiquette."

"It was your Spirit Hall that launched a surprise attack on our Star Luo Empire without declaring war."

"Hmph!" Sensing a powerful aura within the tent, the Porcupine Douluo couldn't help but snort coldly, then said, "I have already delivered His Holiness the Pope's challenge to you. Whether you accept or not is your business."

The Porcupine Douluo knew that although he was a titled Douluo, he could only bully weaklings like Dugu Bo.

Therefore, he left immediately after speaking.

Meanwhile, Cheetah Douluo simply put his black outer robe back on and stood behind Davis.

Upon seeing this, Prince Snowstar, who had initially thought Davis was just a little kid, suddenly became serious.

Because he knew that the Star Luo Empire only provided titled Douluo protection to the heir to the throne.

This also means that Dai Mubai, who went to Seagod Island with Tang San, has been disqualified from being the successor to the throne.

"This is very strange!"

"Dai Mubai's cultivation level is clearly higher than Davis's, so why wasn't he chosen as the successor to the throne in the martial Star Luo Empire, while Davis was established as the crown prince?"

Prince Xuexing couldn't understand it.

……

Martial Spirit Empire, Martial Spirit City, Papal Palace!

Bibi Dong stood atop the towering platform, her gaze sharp and profound, like an ice blade reflecting the light from the glazed tiles.

Her eyebrows were slightly raised, carrying a hint of barely perceptible authority.

She is the Pope, and also the Empress of the Spirit Empire!

"uh-huh?"

"Why did that old man, Qian Daoliu, suddenly come back?"

Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed as she suddenly realized that Qian Daoliu had flown back into the offering hall.
