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

Bibi Dong looked at Qi Dao with confidence.

She didn't believe Qi Dao could tolerate the conditions she proposed.

Leaving aside the 50,000-year-old soul bone, the 100,000-year soul ring she promised is a top-grade soul ring that countless soul masters dream of.

Throughout the entire continent, there are only a handful of people with a 100,000-year soul ring.

Moreover, a 100,000-year-old soul beast is guaranteed to drop a soul bone!

However, Qi Dao simply smiled faintly in the face of her temptation.

"Your Holiness, your offer is indeed enough to tempt countless geniuses."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's lips curled into a slight smile, and she glanced at Xue Qinghe with a smug look, as if to say something.

The person you value doesn't seem to be very good.

However, Xue Qinghe remained unmoved.

Having known Qi Dao for eight years, he knew Qi Dao's character all too well.

He would never abandon me.

As expected, when Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were worried that Qi Dao would join the Spirit Hall...

"But..." Qi Dao changed the subject, looking at Xue Qinghe with a faint smile.

"Your Highness Xue Qinghe has shown me great kindness, so please forgive me for not being able to join the Spirit Hall."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Qinghe's lips curled up slightly.

He knew this would be the outcome.

Behind Bibi Dong, Ning Fengzhi also breathed a sigh of relief.

The Spirit Hall is already putting immense pressure on these sects, making it hard for them to breathe.

If Qi Dao were to join in, then he really would have to consider whether he should temporarily avoid the limelight and humble himself before the Spirit Hall.

As a businessman, unless it's a hatred that's irreconcilable, Ning Fengzhi would never gamble the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's millennia-old foundation for the sake of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

In the original story, if the Spirit Hall hadn't launched a sneak attack on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, resulting in the deaths of more than two-thirds of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's disciples...

Given Ning Fengzhi's shrewd nature, he might not necessarily fight the Spirit Hall to the bitter end.

After all, he and Xue Qinghe had a master-disciple relationship.

However, Bibi Dong's Soul Hunting Operation completely blocked any possibility of Ning Fengzhi surrendering.

Bibi Dong never expected that Qi Dao would be able to resist temptation.

This is not what she wanted to see.

Especially when he thinks about how the person he loves deceived and betrayed him for the sake of his disciple, while the person that "bastard" values ​​remains steadfast in his stance when faced with temptation.

This stark contrast immediately made her feel unbalanced, and her gaze towards Xue Qinghe became filled with even more jealousy.

However, as the Pope, and with everyone watching, she did not react, but said regretfully, "Very well, since that's the case, then I wish you even greater achievements in the future."

After she finished speaking, she took the brocade plate and handed it to Qi Dao.

Qi Dao calmly accepted the brocade tray and returned to the group of people from Tiandou Academy.

He glanced at everyone and said directly, "I'll distribute these three soul bones. Does anyone have any objections?"

Everyone answered in unison, "No objections!"

Yu Feng grinned and said, "Captain, we're already more than satisfied with winning a Soul Master Competition championship by following you. How could we possibly have any other complaints?"

The Graphite and Stone Mill brothers also said in a deep voice, "Yu Feng is right. Without you, Captain, we might not have made it to the final."

They still have self-awareness and know who the real boss of the team is.

Upon hearing this, Qi Dao nodded in satisfaction, then casually put the 70,000-year-old Divine Sword Shadowless Right Arm Bone into his Soul Guidance Device, and then handed the Shadow Chaser Right Leg Bone to Dugu Yan.

"Senior, this soul bone is for you."

"Then I'll accept it."

Dugu Yan accepted the soul bone with a bright smile.

As the number two figure in the Heavenly Dou Academy, she accepted the soul bones as a matter of course, without the slightest hesitation.

A ten-thousand-year-old soul bone would even tempt a titled Douluo, let alone her.

Qi Dao then handed the third soul bone to Ye Lingling.

"Lingling, I'll leave this remaining soul bone to you!"

Ye Lingling shook her head and said, "No, you should keep this soul bone for yourself. After all, it's all thanks to you and Sister Yanzi that our Heavenly Dou Academy was able to become the champion."

"Alright!" Qi Dao thought for a moment, then withdrew his hand, but sent a telepathic message to Ye Lingling.

"I'll give you this soul bone in private. You can do whatever you want with it."

"Of course, I don't recommend you absorb this."

To be honest, the soul bone that Qi Dao gave to Dugu Yan wasn't exactly a good match for her, but it could still be of some use in close combat.

But Ye Lingling's soul bone was truly of no use whatsoever.

As for why he secretly transmitted his voice, it was intentional on his part, to prevent Ye Lingling from being targeted.

After all, Ye Lingling is neither like him, who already possesses the ability to protect herself, nor like Dugu Yan, who has Dugu Bo as her backer.

So it's best to play it safe and secretly give her the soul bone.

Ye Lingling was slightly taken aback, glanced at Qi Dao with surprise, and nodded slightly.

Although the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul is passed down through a single lineage, everyone in the family except her mother is a Battle Soul Master, so someone will always need this Soul Bone.

After everyone had finished distributing the soul bones, they returned to the viewing area of ​​the Heaven Dou Academy.

Xue Qinghe and Dugu Bo had been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing Qi Dao arrive with the group from Tiandou Academy, Xue Qinghe stood up with a smile to greet them.

"Our champions, the heroes of the Heaven Dou Empire, have returned."

Qi Dao stepped forward, smiling, and said, "I have not failed in my mission!"

Xue Qinghe looked at everyone except Qi Dao and Dugu Yan, his tone as gentle as a spring breeze.

"You all did a great job. Although you did not obtain the soul bone, rest assured that once we return to Heaven Dou City, I will ask my father to recommend you for merit. You will not be treated unfairly."

Upon hearing this, the Shi brothers, Yu Feng, and Oslo were overjoyed and immediately bowed to Xue Qinghe, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Xue Qinghe smiled and nodded, then looked at Qi Dao and said, "A Dao, you have made a great contribution this time. Whatever you want, just ask, and I will grant it."

Upon hearing this, everyone thought to themselves, "Perhaps this is what they mean by a wise ruler and virtuous ministers?"

In an instant, the level of approval that the people of Tiandou had for Xue Qinghe skyrocketed.

After all, the fact that a genius like Qi Dao was willing to give up the Pope's offer to stay and help him speaks volumes about his ability.

Not only them, but also Ning Fengzhi and some high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall who were unaware of the truth believed this.

It seems that a wise ruler is about to emerge from the Heavenly Dou realm!

On the way back, when only Xue Qinghe and Qi Dao were together, Xue Qinghe jokingly asked, "Bibi Dong's conditions are so tempting, didn't Adao even feel a little bit tempted?"

Qi Dao shrugged slightly and said calmly, "Not to mention that these conditions are not enough to tempt me, even if they were, I would never betray Brother Xue."

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe laughed heartily.

At that moment, he felt that everything he had done for Qi Dao was worthwhile.

He didn't misplace his trust in the first place!

At the same time, a thought flashed through Xue Qinghe's mind.

Perhaps I can find some time to tell Adao my true identity.

The time is ripe.

He believed that even if Qi Dao knew his true identity, he would still stand firmly on his side.
