Douluo Continent: Half-level Innate Realm, but a Sword Cultivator with a Heart-Only Mind

After three days of rest and adjustment, a large and impressive team set off from Tiandou City amidst the farewells of thousands of people.

The group consisted of students and teachers from various battle teams, along with five hundred Royal Knights soldiers, making a total of over a thousand people.

Target: Wuhun City!

Originally, the location for this final was not set in Wuhun City.

However, the Spirit Hall made a last-minute change, and only the Pope himself probably knows the specific reason.

The journey from Tiandou City to Wuhun City will take nearly twenty days, depending on the speed at which the group travels.

However, the finals are actually not very long, as they are a knockout tournament and will end in less than ten days.

On the way.

The Heavenly Dou Empire specially prepared luxurious carriages for the participating team members.

The carriage utilizes some basic soul-guided technology, providing excellent shock absorption and a spacious interior, allowing more than ten people to sit and rest without feeling crowded.

Inside the carriage where Tiandou Academy was located, Qi Dao leaned against the window, watching the scenery slowly passing by outside, and a thought flashed through his mind.

This time, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo should not attack the participating teams as they did in the original story.

After all, reality and the original plot have changed quite a bit.

The reason why Tang San attracted Bibi Dong's attention in the original novel was not only because he revealed his talent of twin martial souls, but also because of his identity.

The twin martial souls are Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer.

His identity isn't hard to guess!

Bibi Dong naturally wouldn't let go of a genius with exceptional talent who also harbored hatred towards the Spirit Hall.

However, this time, because Tang San knew Tang Hao's identity and the hatred between his family and the Spirit Hall in advance, he did not reveal his Clear Sky Hammer spirit as in the original story.

Since Tang San was not exposed, the situation described in the original story would not occur.

As expected, there were no unexpected events along the way.

However, some people are not content to stay put.

Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.

Yu Xiaogang stood with one hand behind his back, head held high, looking much more energetic than usual.

Clearly, he came prepared for this trip, and even made special preparations beforehand.

For Tang San's future, and also for his own future, he decided to sell his "sex appeal".

He didn't know if Bibi Dong would give him face out of consideration for their past relationship, but he still decided to give it a try.

"stop!"

As soon as Yu Xiaogang reached the entrance of the Papal Palace, he was immediately stopped by two knights dressed in silver armor.

"This is forbidden territory. Take another step closer and you will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, nearly a hundred knights behind the two knights simultaneously raised their longswords.

This imposing aura startled Yu Xiaogang, but having already come this far, he naturally couldn't back down.

He remained indifferent and revealed his token.

To be precise, this was the token that Tang Hao gave him back then.

The Spirit Hall issues six levels of tokens, and his own token is only in the third level. Back then, he used that token to bring Tang San into the Soul Hunting Forest for the first time.

The token that Tang Hao gave him was the highest-grade elder token, also known as the Heaven Dou Six Royal Token. The Spirit Hall only issued a total of six of them.

"Greetings, Elder!"

Upon seeing the Elder's Decree, the knights guarding the Papal Palace immediately knelt on one knee with a thud.

"Take me to see the Pope!"

Yu Xiaogang glanced at them indifferently; he had figured out how to use someone else's power to bully others.

Half an hour later.

The council chamber of the Papal Palace.

Yu Xiaogang quietly sipped his fragrant tea, and his face showed no fear as he thought of the person he was about to meet.

Just then, a three-meter-high archway in the distance opened, and a gentle voice came from behind.

"You all stay outside and wait. No one is allowed to disturb us without my order."

The voice was gentle yet carried a hint of authority, but when it reached Yu Xiaogang's ears, it brought a touch of nostalgia to his face.

The door opened, and a tall woman dressed in a light purple gown, wearing a nine-curved purple-gold crown and holding a jeweled scepter slowly walked in.

The newcomer had a fair complexion, delicate features, and a noble and elegant demeanor, exuding an intangible sense of sacredness.

It was none other than the current Pope, Bibidon.

The moment Bibi Dong saw Yu Xiaogang, a hint of doubt flashed across her face.

Yu Xiaogang himself did not possess an Elder's Token. Could it be that Yu Yuanzhen gave him the Elder's Token from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family?

The Elder's Decree was a token issued by Qian Xunji back then, mainly to elevate the status of his two trusted confidants on the continent.

The six symbols on the token are a sword, a hammer, a dragon, a crown, a chrysanthemum, and an incomplete human figure.

Among them, the chrysanthemum and the incomplete human form represent Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, respectively.

The two were Qian Xunji's confidants back then.

In order to elevate the status of the two, Qian Xunji created the Elder's Decree, which linked Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo's martial soul with the Clear Sky Hammer and the Seven Kill Sword.

It's important to know that Chrysanthemum Demon's original counterpart wasn't Tang Hao or Chen Xin, but rather Tang Hao's grandfather and Sword Douluo's father, the previous generation's Haotian Douluo and Sword Douluo.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus family represents the dragon on the token.

Accepting the Elder's Decree means accepting the status of an Honorary Elder of the Spirit Hall.

This was something Qian Xunji did intentionally.

Accepting this elder's token signifies acknowledging one's status as an elder of the Spirit Hall. While enjoying the honor, one is naturally inferior to the Pope.

Bibi Dong quickly composed herself and spoke softly.

"You've come!"

Yu Xiaogang stood up from his seat, feigning deep emotion.

"Yes, I've come. How have you been these past few years?"

In fact, Yu Xiaogang was also moved when he saw Bibi Dong again.

Bibi Dong, as a titled Douluo, possesses the art of preserving her youth. Although she is a year older than him, she looks like a woman in her late twenties.

In comparison, although Liu Erlong is younger than him, how can she compare to Bibi Dong in terms of maintaining her youthful appearance?

Bibi Dong said calmly, "What's wrong with being above ten thousand people?"

"As the ruler of the Spirit Hall, even the emperors of the two great empires would show me deference."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang exclaimed excitedly, "No, Dong'er, although you are now the Pope of the Spirit Hall, above all others, I know you must be suffering inside."

As he spoke, a deep affection appeared in his eyes.

If a normal person heard Yu Xiaogang say such things, they would probably either kill him outright or order someone to beat him out with sticks.

Unfortunately, Bibi Dong isn't a normal person!

Upon seeing Yu Xiaogang's expression, memories from back then immediately flooded back.

Bibi Dong suddenly became sentimental, and her face softened even more.

But she still shook her head and said, "I am now the Pope of the Spirit Hall, not the silly Bibi Dong I used to be."

"Tell me the purpose of your visit. You've been avoiding me for nearly thirty years, and now you've suddenly come to me. I don't believe you're just here to catch up."

A barely perceptible change appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face, but he still said painfully, "Dong'er, how can you look at me like that?"

Bibi Dong sneered, "Whether you talk or not, if you don't, I'll have to see you out!"

"Don't!"

"I'll say it!"

Yu Xiaogang immediately became anxious and hurriedly spoke up.

Upon seeing this, Bibi Dong remained expressionless, but a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

If Yu Xiaogang had been more assertive and insisted that he had only come to catch up with her, she would have been very happy.

Unfortunately, Yu Xiaogang only visits the temple when he has a reason.

Even his feigned affection was only because he needed something from me.

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong's aura turned even darker and more menacing.
