Douluo Continent: The Evil Tiger Subdues the Eight Desolations, and Marries Zhu Zhuqing

Led by Lin Ye, the group left the Arena through the contestant passage.

Along the way, the guards and staff of the Spirit Hall all bowed respectfully when they saw them.

"Greetings, Your Highness! Congratulations on your victory!"

"His Highness the Holy Son is mighty!"

Lin Ye simply nodded in response, his composed demeanor perfectly maintaining the dignity of a holy son.

Hu Liena walked behind, looking at Lin Ye's broad back, and sighed inwardly.

This man is truly dazzling.

Not only is he ridiculously strong, but his confidence in controlling everything is simply irresistible.

Before long, the group arrived at the gate of the Papal Palace.

Upon seeing Lin Ye, the guard immediately pushed open the heavy door.

"Your Highness, His Holiness the Pope has been waiting inside for quite some time."

Lin Ye nodded and led Zhu Zhuqing, Hu Liena, and the others into the magnificent Papal Palace.

The atmosphere inside the Papal Palace was solemn and dignified.

Bibi Dong sat high on the papal throne, toying with the amethyst scepter in her hand.

Seeing Lin Ye and the others enter, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"No need for formalities."

Bibi Dong raised her hand, indicating that everyone did not need to kneel.

"You guys played very well in this competition."

"Teacher, these are all basic skills. Those opponents are too weak; you don't need to exert any effort at all."

Bibi Dong rolled her eyes at Lin Ye, but her tone was full of doting affection.

"You little rascal, you're getting all cocky after I just praised you a couple of times. But you certainly didn't disappoint me this time."

Then, Bibi Dong's smile faded, and her gaze swept over Xie Yue, Yan, and the others.

"Xie Yue, Yan, although you didn't have many opportunities to fight this time, your progress is evident. Go and collect your rewards; the Spirit Hall will not mistreat anyone who has made a contribution."

Xie Yue and Yan quickly bowed in greeting.

"Thank you, Your Holiness the Pope!"

The two tactfully withdrew, knowing that they wouldn't be part of the main event.

Only Bibi Dong, Lin Ye, Zhu Zhuqing, and Hu Liena remained in the main hall.

Bibi Dong stood up from her throne, slowly walked down the steps, and came to the three people.

With a wave of her right hand, the three ten-thousand-year-old soul bones that she had previously displayed in the Soul Arena reappeared in mid-air.

"In this competition, Lin Ye, as the captain, you played a decisive role. Xiao Qing and Nana, your performances were also outstanding."

Bibi Dong's gaze swept over the three of them, and her tone became serious.

"Therefore, these three top-grade soul bones, which are the prizes for the competition, are for the three of you!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena's breathing became rapid.

Although she was Bibi Dong's personal disciple, even she dreamed of obtaining a ten-thousand-year soul bone.

Zhu Zhuqing looked surprised and turned to look at Lin Ye.

She felt that she hadn't contributed much this time, and that she had relied entirely on Lin Ye to carry her. How could she have a share in it?

Bibi Dong looked at Hu Liena and spoke.

"Nana, come here."

Hu Liena quickly took a step forward, her expression excited, her hands unconsciously clenching together.

Bibi Dong waved her hand, and the head soul bone emitting a pale blue halo flew to Hu Liena's front.

"Lin Ye and Xiao Qing had already obtained the head soul bone before."

"Therefore, this head bone, which is 50,000 years old, is yours."

Bibi Dong explained the reasons for the distribution.

"Your martial soul is a fox spirit, specializing in control and mental power. This head soul bone will greatly benefit your mental power."

Hu Liena looked at the crystal-clear head bone in front of her, her voice trembling with excitement.

"Thank you for your kind words, Master! I will certainly not let you down!"

Hu Liena took the soul bone with both hands and carefully held it in her arms.

She knew very well that if Lin Ye and Zhu Zhuqing hadn't already possessed head soul bones, such a top-grade treasure would never have been hers.

Hu Liena turned her head and looked at Lin Ye, her eyes filled with gratitude.

"Your Highness, thank you."

Hu Liena thanked her directly.

Lin Ye waved his hand, looking indifferent.

"Don't be so polite with me. We're both from the Spirit Hall. If you become stronger, you can help me with more things in the future. That's called making good use of resources."

Hu Liena found Lin Ye's blunt honesty amusing.

However, her admiration and affection for Lin Ye grew even stronger.

Bibi Dong felt gratified watching the two interact.

The fact that the younger generation of the Spirit Hall is so united is exactly what she wanted to see.

"Alright, Nana, step aside for now."

Bibi Dong spoke again, her gaze turning to Lin Ye.

Next, it's time to give this precious apprentice a reward.

"Lin Ye, come forward."

Bibi Dong's voice softened considerably, and her eyes were full of satisfaction as she looked at Lin Ye.

Lin Ye strode up to Bibi Dong, a confident smile on his face.

"Teacher, shouldn't I get a reward?"

Lin Ye's straightforward words amused Hu Liena, who was standing next to him.

Bibi Dong shook her head helplessly and tapped Lin Ye's forehead with her slender finger.

"You little rascal, all you care about is the reward. This soul bone was specially chosen for you."

With a flick of her wrist, Bibi Dong sent the right arm bone, shimmering with dark golden light, slowly flying to Lin Ye's front.

"This is a right arm bone that is 50,000 years old."

Bibi Dong began to explain the origin of this soul bone.

"It not only greatly enhances your strength and defense, but also contains extremely violent energy."

"Your Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Martial Soul already possesses the attribute of strength, so this right arm bone is like adding wings to a tiger for you."

Lin Ye looked at the dark golden right arm bone before him, sensing the violent aura emanating from it.

Although its age limit isn't particularly high, it has a devouring skill, which allows it to increase its age limit by devouring other creatures.

Thank you, teacher!

Lin Ye grabbed the right arm bone in his hand without any hesitation.

"With this thing, next time I run into those blind fools, I can punch them into mincemeat with one punch."

Bibi Dong chuckled as she looked at Lin Ye's domineering demeanor.

"With your current strength, you have no rivals among your peers, but don't be arrogant. There are still many hidden powerhouses on this continent."

"Absorb this soul bone tonight and improve your strength as soon as possible."

Lin Ye nodded and put the right arm bone into his storage soul tool.

"Don't worry, teacher, I know what I'm doing. Anyone who dares to cause trouble, I'll teach them a lesson they won't forget."

Bibi Dong watched as Lin Ye put away the soul bone, and her expression became even more serious.

She knew Lin Ye had unlimited potential, and this right arm bone was just a stepping stone on his path to becoming stronger.

"Lin Ye, remember this: the future of the Spirit Hall rests on your shoulders."

Bibi Dong's words carried immense weight.

Lin Ye stopped smiling and answered seriously.

"Teacher, rest assured, your disciple will dedicate himself to cultivation!"

Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction; this was exactly the kind of domineering aura Lin Ye wanted.

Then, Bibi Dong turned her head and looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who had been standing quietly at the back.

This last piece of soul bone is also the highest quality and longest-aged of the three.

"Xiao Qing, come here."
