Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 130 Bibi Dong's View on the Star Luo Empire

Wuhun Temple.

Sitting on the papal throne, Bibi Dong received a message from Ling Yuan about Tang San joining the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. She frowned and thought to herself, "The Heaven Dou Royal Academy? Well, that's good, she's there..."

"Your Holiness, should we bring Tang San back? Leaving him at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy might cause unforeseen problems." Chrysanthemum Douluo had also learned that Tang San had reached the Soul Master level and was also a plant-type martial soul possessor. Furthermore, Tang San had proven the value of plant-type martial souls, classifying them from weapon-type martial souls into the major category of beast-plant-type martial souls. Chrysanthemum Douluo had a very good impression of Tang San, whom he had never truly met.

Therefore, keeping him in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy would likely make him loyal to Heaven Dou.

"It's alright. The Heaven Dou Royal Academy is her territory, and the three Soul Douluo instructors there also favor the Heaven Dou Crown Prince... Since she wants to prove herself to me, let's see what she's capable of." Bibi Dong put down the report in her hand and brought up another matter, "The diversification of facilities for the Soul Fighting arena has already been implemented, adding desert, forest, river, and grassland arenas. For this Soul Master Competition, could we persuade the two major imperial regions to also add some new types of arenas?"

"It should be possible. This would also benefit the high-ranking officials of both empires. Moreover, after the theory was published, the academies of both empires have been trying to make changes." After thinking for a moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo gave an affirmative response.

The diverse venues for the competition were indeed troublesome at first, but once implemented, they revealed the Soul Masters' ability to adapt to changing circumstances, and the feedback was positive.

Although the two empires took the opportunity to recruit a group of talents, the one that benefited the most was the Spirit Hall. After the last competition, many spirit masters chose to join the Spirit Hall.

The idea of ​​diversifying the arena was initially proposed and published by Tang San in his theory, but the Spirit Hall had to put in a lot of effort to implement it.

This effort is visible to all Soul Masters across the continent.

"Then let's go and do it. Also, our main venue for Wuhun City needs to be expanded. We can try to integrate deserts, grasslands, forests, rivers, ice and snow, volcanoes, etc. into one venue." Bibi Dong's idea was a bit far-fetched.

"This... if all the venues are combined into one, the final venue will probably need to be over 500 meters in length and width. Isn't that a bit too large?" Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance, somewhat surprised by Bibi Dong's imaginative idea. "This area almost occupies the entire area of ​​the Spirit Arena."

"Then let's expand it. Aren't there plenty of empty spaces in front of the Papal Palace?" Bibi Dong summoned a Soul Douluo and gave him the instructions.

"I hope to see a perfect competition venue in two years!"

"Yes, Your Highness the Pope." Contra bowed, accepted Bibi Dong's order, and began to carry it out.

Then, Bibi Dong asked about something else: "Ghost Douluo, how's the royal competition going in the Star Luo Empire?"

"Davis and Zhu Zhuyun have a clear advantage, while Dai Mubai, after escaping from the Star Luo Empire in his childhood, has been staying at a Soul Master Academy in Soto City without proper advanced academy certification, indulging in pleasure and debauchery." Ghost Douluo reported the information he had gathered, slowly saying, "However, Zhu Zhuqing, the second daughter of the Zhu family, seems unable to bear the pressure from her older sister and has run away. It seems she is going to find Dai Mubai. Zhu Zhuyun has not done much to stop her, or rather, she openly sends assassins to kill him while secretly protecting him as he enters the Heaven Dou Empire."

"The two sisters seem to have a good relationship. However, the two daughters of the Zhu family value power quite a bit." Bibi Dong sneered. "As direct descendants of the Zhu family, if they hadn't gone after that good-for-nothing prince Dai Mubai, they would still have a way to survive. But now that they have, and are fighting against another branch of the family, it's truly a dead end."

The Zhu family was a vassal of the Dai family. The competition for the throne in the Dai family was brutal. The prince who lost the competition was bound to die, but the fiancée of the prince who lost the competition was not necessarily going to die.

The royal family doesn't practice monogamy, so if Zhu Zhuyun were to consider their past relationship, she might give her sister a chance.

But now that Zhu Zhuqing has run away to find that useless prince and wants to compete for the position of empress, Zhu Zhuyun, who also values ​​power, will definitely not let her off the hook.

Why was Bibi Dong so certain that Zhu Zhuqing was power-hungry?

the reason is simple.

If she had no ambition for power, she could have stayed home and focused on her cultivation. Her family would have provided her with ample resources for cultivation. Once she demonstrated her talent and improved her strength, and the Zhu and Dai families recognized her power, she might have been able to break off her engagement with Dai Mubai and become the new head of the Zhu family.

When that time comes, will her older sister Zhu Zhuyun still make things difficult for her younger sister?

What conflict of interest exists between one becoming empress and the other becoming the new head of the Zhu family?

However, Zhu Zhuqing chose the worst path—to go find Dai Mubai, preparing to fight Davis and her sister to the death.

It can only be described as utterly foolish.

At least that's how Bibi Dong viewed Zhu Zhuqing.

However, Bibi Dong also understood that anyone born into such a competitive, even cruel, environment would have a strong desire for power to some extent; otherwise, they would not be a "normal person" in the Star Luo Empire.

"Your Holiness, in the unlicensed Soul Master Academy where Dai Mubai is located, there are Soul Masters who have offended the Spirit Hall and are hiding there as teachers. Should we order their arrest?" Chrysanthemum Douluo brought up the matter of Shrek Academy.

"What level of Soul Master?"

"Soul Saint, Soul Emperor"

"No wonder Dai Mubai went there. It seems he also has the idea of ​​recruiting high-level Soul Masters to help him..." Bibi Dong thought for a while and said, "Don't worry about it. Let's see what kind of trouble that useless prince can cause. His main target is Davis and the others. Let's make them fight among themselves."

"Yes." Ghost Douluo took out another document and said, "This autumn, both empires experienced another large-scale famine due to drought... Within the Heaven Dou Empire, there are many duchies and kingdoms, each with autonomy. They did not report to the Heaven Dou royal family but instead prevented the famine victims from entering the city, keeping them outside. The Star Luo Empire is even more ruthless; any famine victims who dare to approach are shot dead to prevent them from clashing with the nobles."

"Is that so? It seems the two great empires are becoming increasingly decadent." Bibi Dong's tone was cold, revealing neither joy nor anger. She continued, "Inform the current emperors of the two great empires about this matter and let them handle it. If they can't resolve it, make them pay, and our Spirit Hall will take care of it."

To rule the continent, one needs not only military force, but also the hearts and minds of the people.

Informing the emperors of the two great empires was a way to give them face and prevent them from speaking ill of the Spirit Hall later.

"By the way, publish this matter in the Martial Soul newspaper, and write it in more detail."

"clear."

Tang San's theories published in recent years have been popular among ordinary soul masters, making Bibi Dong realize one thing: the importance of public opinion is self-evident.

Even if the two great empires wanted to smear the Spirit Hall, they wouldn't succeed so easily, since the Spirit Hall's actions were witnessed by the entire continent.
