Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 204 The Magnificent Female Pope Makes Her Debut

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, before dawn, Bibi Dong got up to prepare breakfast for Ye Liangchen. Now that the little guy was living in her manor, she had to take good care of his daily life.

Seeing this, Ye Cailan immediately got up to wash up and then helped Bibi Dong make breakfast.

"Cai Lan, you're a guest. How can I let you do the work here?"

"Your Holiness, there's no need for formalities between us. Taking care of Xiao Chen's life is what I should do."

"Oh well!"

The two women chatted as they worked, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Ye Liangchen also got up, washed up, opened the window, surveyed the surrounding terrain, and looked for a sniping spot.

Using his binoculars, Ye Liangchen observed a massive angel statue in the distance, with a grandstand in front of it and a huge plaza below. The final arena of the grand finals must be there. His current residence was located just west of the Papal Palace, about 500 to 600 meters away from the plaza, offering a clear view of the entire area—perfect for an ambush.

"Xiao Chen, what are you looking at?"

At this moment, Bibi Dong opened Ye Liangchen's door and saw him standing by the window, quietly looking into the distance, which piqued her curiosity.

"We're observing the terrain to make it easier to take down Tang Dachui later."

Ye Liangchen was thinking that after finishing the final match, he needed to find an excuse to quickly return here so that he could launch an ambush.

However, with Bibi Dong's cooperation, accomplishing this task would be very easy.

"Hehe...! Tang Dachui is unlucky to have been targeted by you, this cute little devil."

Upon hearing about beating Tang Dachui, Bibi Dong was in a wonderful mood. She walked over and reached out to pat Ye Liangchen's head. This little guy's way of doing things was just to her liking.

"Let's have breakfast first. The opening ceremony of the finals will be held at 10 a.m. today in the Martial Soul Arena. There will be a few more matches after that. I also plan to ask Bing'er and the others to perform a dance to add to the excitement of the opening ceremony."

"Xiao Chen, what do you think?"

Bibi Dong really wanted to see the girls from the Tianshui team dance. After all, their graceful dance moves made her want to dance with them too.

"Godmother! If you like watching, I'll arrange for them to perform a dance to liven up the finals."

"Xiao Chen, how about I give each of them a 10,000 yuan appearance fee?"

"No need to pay. I sold some of Tang San's cultivation techniques to Ning Fengzhi a while ago and got 2000 million gold soul coins. We're not short of money right now. Besides, why would I charge you for a dance?"

"Hehe...! You're really good at making money! But isn't it a bit inappropriate to sell the Mysterious Heaven Technique to Ning Fengzhi? This would strengthen the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"Don't worry! I didn't sell the Mysterious Heaven Skill or the methods for making those hidden weapons. I only sold the skills and martial arts techniques. Anyway, we know everything they know, and we know even more what they don't know, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Oh! I see! Then it's alright."

After hearing Ye Liangchen's words, Bibi Dong immediately felt that her worries were a bit unnecessary, so she excitedly took the little guy to have breakfast.

After breakfast, Bibi Dong applied light makeup and changed into her papal robes, preparing to appear at the opening ceremony.

In the past, Bibi Dong would never have appeared in the Spirit Hall's Great Spirit Arena, but things are different now. Ye Liangchen is going to compete, so she has to support him.

"Xiao Chen, Cai Lan, what do you think of my outfit?"

Bibi Dong stepped out of the room and gracefully entered the living room. She greeted the two men with a smile and even twirled around to show off her beauty.

"Wow, godmother! You look absolutely stunning in this outfit! You truly deserve to be called the peerless Pope!"

Ye Liangchen's eyes lit up when he saw Bibi Dong's current attire.

Bibi Dong now wears a purple crown and a long silver-purple dress adorned with purple gemstones, which perfectly accentuates her curvaceous figure. She also holds a silver scepter inlaid with gemstones in her hand, making her look like a noble empress. She has a commanding presence and is truly worthy of being one of the most beautiful women in Douluo Continent!

"Xiao Chen is right, you are now an unparalleled empress." Ye Cailan looked at Bibi Dong at this moment and couldn't help but admire her.

"Heh...! You two just love saying nice things to flatter me, but it's not as good as you make it out to be!"

Bibi Dong smiled modestly, but she was very happy inside. For a woman, being praised for her beauty is extremely satisfying.

"We're not lying, you've always been the most beautiful woman on the entire continent, and now you're even more beautiful."

Ye Cailan and Ye Liangchen understood each other perfectly, and then showered Bibi Dong with compliments.

"Alright! Stop praising me. If you keep praising me like this, I feel like I'll get carried away."

Bibi Dong was overjoyed to be praised by the two men in front of her as the most beautiful woman on the entire continent.

"Come with me to the Papal Palace."

Bibi Dong led the two of them with a smile toward the Papal Palace.

"Godmother, when you make your appearance later, remember to make the scene bigger. For example, you can do this... to show off your peerless beauty as the female pope, dazzle the world, and let those old guys in the Hall of Offerings see that you are the most charming person in the Spirit Hall."

Ye Liangchen suggested to Bibi Dong that they should make a high-profile appearance at the Great Soul Arena, so as to have a good image.

"Okay! I'll do as you say, I'll definitely make it bigger."

Bibi Dong knew that the little guy was helping her establish her authority so that she could take full control of the Spirit Hall in the future, so she had to put on a good show.

Upon arriving at the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong instructed the Guardian Knights to summon Ghost Chrysanthemum Douluo, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Yan from the Golden Team, and Spirit Kite Douluo.

Bibi Dong also planned to have Ling Yuan and Ye Cailan escort Ye Liangchen back to reunite with Shui Bing'er and the others.

"Xiao Chen, it's been over two years since I last saw you. You've grown even more handsome."

Just then, Ling Yuan entered the Papal Palace first, and seeing Ye Liangchen who had become even more handsome, she couldn't help but shower him with compliments.

"Aunt Lingyuan, you've become even more beautiful."

It is only polite to reciprocate, so Ye Liangchen also praised Ling Yuan.

It must be said that this female Douluo's beauty is second only to Bibi Dong, and she seems to be even more beautiful than when we met two years ago, with an incredibly hot figure.

"Hehe...! Xiao Chen, you have such a sweet tongue, I like it."

Ling Yuan was very happy to receive Ye Liangchen's praise, so she quickly walked over, gave him a hug, and kissed him on the cheek.

Ling Yuan really liked Ye Liangchen. Two years ago, this little guy gave her ten Jade Flower Pills, which made her look at least ten years younger. Now she rarely even uses cosmetics.

"Lingyuan, after that, you and Cailan will escort Xiaochen back to the Tianshui team. Take the back path and remember to wear a veil."

Seeing Ling Yuan hug her godson and kiss him as soon as she arrived, Bibi Dong was helpless, so she directly ordered the woman to be Ye Liangchen's bodyguard.

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope."

Ling Yuan had no objection to Bibi Dong's instructions, especially since it involved protecting the little guy Ye Liangchen, so she was naturally happy to comply.

"Hello, my name is Ling Yuan, a level 94 Title Douluo." Ling Yuan took the initiative to greet Ye Cailan.

"Hello, Ye Cailan, a level 96 Title Douluo."

"Level 96? You're really impressive."

"You flatter me..."

Both of them were female Douluo, and after getting to know each other, they felt a mutual respect and started chatting.

After a while, Gui Ju and Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan from the Spirit Hall's Golden Team also arrived at the Papal Palace.

When Guiju Douluo saw Ye Cailan, they were immediately stunned, and the same question arose in their minds: Could it be that the woman has been resurrected?

Gui and Ju had followed Qian Xunji in the past to hunt down the Blue Silver Emperor and had seen his appearance. Now that they saw Ye Cailan, who looked somewhat similar to the Blue Silver Emperor, they assumed that the soul beast woman had been resurrected.

When Xie Yue and Yan saw Ye Liangchen, they were also shocked, thinking: This guy must be the peerless genius that Nana mentioned!

"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope."

With puzzled thoughts, the group first bowed to Bibi Dong.

Hu Liena was no exception; in public, she also had to bow to Bibi Dong.

"Get up, all of you! I've called you here today to announce something."

"Ghost, go to the Great Soul Arena immediately and inform Bishop Chris that when drawing lots for the Shrek team, arrange some weaker teams first."

"In addition, the Spirit Hall's Golden Team will also start from the knockout stage to exchange ideas with other teams. However, they are not allowed to kill anyone, especially Xie Yue. If he kills someone during the Soul Master Competition, it will damage the image of our Spirit Hall."

Faced with Bibi Dong's announcement, Gui Ju and Xie Yue and Yan were still a little confused. Arranging a weak team for Shrek Team was practically guaranteeing them a spot in the final.

"Your Holiness, I will take care of it immediately."

After receiving Bibi Dong's instructions, Ghost Douluo left the Papal Palace without asking any questions and rushed to the Great Soul Arena in Wuhun City to arrange his work.

"Your Holiness, why arrange a weak team for the Shrek Academy team? Wouldn't that guarantee them a spot in the finals?" Xie Yue didn't understand; this wasn't the way the Spirit Hall operated.

"This is Xiao Chen's idea. He wants to use the final match against Shrek Academy to carry out a plan, and then lure out Hammer Douluo Tang Hao so that he can have a chance to fight Tang Hao."

"Fight Tang Hao?"

Upon hearing Bibi Dong reveal Ye Liangchen's plan, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ling Yuan, Xie Yue, and Yan all gasped in shock. This was going too far!

Xie Yue and Yan felt that everyone who participated in the Soul Master Competition was aiming for the championship, while Ye Liangchen, this prodigy, wanted to fight the Title Douluo Tang Hao, so they were not even on the same level.

"Then we won't be able to win the championship this time."

As members of the Spirit Hall's Golden Team, Xie Yue and Yan felt a bit of regret that they couldn't win the championship for the Spirit Hall, especially since they couldn't obtain the three ten-thousand-year-old soul bones, which made them even more disappointed.

Hu Liena didn't say anything, after all, she had already accepted this reality.

"Nana, Xie Yue, Yan, actually, if Xiao Chen wanted to, he could wipe out all three of you by himself! No! He could wipe out the entire Spirit Hall Golden Team. Even if Nana and Xie Yue used their Spirit Fusion Technique, they wouldn't be a match for Xiao Chen."

"So, don't even think about winning this tournament, and don't try to bring any glory to the Spirit Hall, because it's completely unnecessary."

Bibi Dong looked at the three members of the Golden Team with a smile. Although these three were the most outstanding generation of the Spirit Hall, they were no match for Ye Liangchen.

"May I ask what your current strength is, Young Master Ye?"

Xie Yue felt that the Pope had exaggerated Ye Liangchen's reputation, and being a combative person, he was a little unconvinced.

"Level 59 is my peak, and I'm about to enter level 60. If you want to fight me, you'll see when we're on the field."

Ye Liangchen calmly said, knowing that this gray-haired evil moon couldn't win the championship and was definitely dissatisfied. Since he wasn't satisfied, he would beat him until he was.

"Level 59? Aren't you level 55?"

The three of them had previously learned from the Tiandou region that this guy was only level 55, so how did he suddenly become level 59?

"Of course, I was afraid of scaring others, so I withdrew some of my soul power when testing my soul power level."

"Everyone, I'm going back to rejoin the team now. See you later."

Ye Liangchen bid farewell to Bibi Dong and her group, and then left the Papal Palace.

"Okay! Xiao Chen, see you at the opening ceremony later."

"Cailan, Lingyuan, protect him well, be careful."

Bibi Dong instructed the two women to be careful. Although the Spirit Hall was her territory, she still dared not be careless, especially since Tang Dachui was hiding in some dark corner, so they had to be even more careful.

Ye Cailan and Ling Yuan immediately understood and took out their veils, put them on, and then followed Ye Liangchen out of the Papal Palace.

"This young master Ye is too extraordinary!"

"Isn't that right? I heard he's only 14 years old and already at level 59. How did he cultivate like that?"

Xie Yue and Yan felt quite inadequate at this moment. They were already over 20 years old and only low-level Soul Kings. Compared to others, they were nothing.

"Your Holiness, the blue-haired woman beside Young Master Ye... her aura feels somewhat familiar." Chrysanthemum Douluo was very curious about Ye Cailan's identity.

"Yue Guan, the reason you feel a familiar aura is because Cai Lan's martial soul is also Blue Silver Emperor, but she is not the woman you are thinking of. Cai Lan is now a level 96 Title Douluo, titled Blue Silver Douluo."

Bibi Dong did not reveal that Ye Cailan was the reincarnation of the Blue Silver Emperor, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

"Wow! A level 96 Title Douluo? That's incredibly powerful!"

Upon hearing that the stunning woman beside Ye Liangchen was actually a level 96 Title Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Yan, and Xie Yue were immediately dumbfounded.

"Alright, it's about time. We should get ready."

Bibi Dong instructed Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Golden Team to make preparations for a high-profile appearance at the Great Soul Arena.

……

After leaving the Papal Palace, Ye Liangchen and Ye Cailan, accompanied by Lingyuan Douluo, passed through several alleys and headed towards the place where the Tianshui Battle Team was staying.

Along the way, Ye Liangchen would occasionally use his powerful mental energy to investigate everything within a radius of one kilometer.

Half an hour later, the three finally arrived at the location where the Tianshui team was staying.

"We were just talking about this, and now you're here."

At this moment, the members of the Tianshui team were drinking tea and chatting in the living room. They were surprised to see Ye Liangchen return so early.

"Lingyuan Douluo, please bring Xiaochen back." Shui Lanxin quickly poured Lingyuan a cup of hot tea.

"Dean Shui, you're welcome." Ling Yuan smiled.

Looking at the group of beautiful girls from the Tianshui team, Ling Yuan felt like her eyes were dazzled.

"It's almost time; we should head out for the opening ceremony."

"Sister Bing'er, the Pope has asked you to dance at the opening ceremony later, is that alright?"

Ye Liangchen told Shui Bing'er and her group about this so that everyone could be prepared.

"Xiao Chen, no problem, you can arrange it for us!"

Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and the others were overjoyed to hear that they could dance again.

"Everyone, please follow us."

All the teams from various academies had assembled, with the Knights of the Spirit Hall leading the way, guiding the participating teams from the two empires toward the Spirit City Grand Arena.

"Wow, so many handsome men and beautiful women!"

Wherever the procession went, the people of Wuhun City stopped to watch, and occasionally exclaimed in amazement.

The Great Soul Arena in Wuhun City is the largest and most luxurious Soul Arena on the entire continent, capable of holding 100,000 spectators. At this moment, countless people have gathered, like ants, everywhere is crowded.

"Wow! They're here, they're here..."

When the participating teams entered the Great Battle Arena, the 100,000 spectators erupted in a tsunami of cheers.

Bibi Dong had already ordered that ordinary civilians be allowed to watch this Soul Master Tournament. This led to a massive influx of people into the Grand Soul Arena, with all 100,000 tickets selling out instantly. Those who couldn't get tickets could only sigh in despair. The organizers then introduced standing-room-only tickets, but even so, tens of thousands of spectators still gathered outside the Grand Soul Arena plaza. In the end, the organizers still used the same method as the Heaven Dou Arena, installing several huge crystal projectors on the walls of the arena for everyone to watch, charging only half-price tickets.

"Wow! Look, His Holiness the Pope is here too."

"Really? His Holiness the Pope is here too?"

"Wow! It really is His Holiness the Pope!"

Just then, cheers came from the street ahead.

"Tap tap tap tap..."

A huge open carriage, pulled by eight fine horses, slowly approached. Pope Bibi Dong, like an unparalleled empress, sat on a tall throne, with the two generals, Ghost Chrysanthemum Douluo, standing behind her, and the eleven members of the Spirit Hall's Golden Team standing in front of her.

Behind the carriage was a procession of fifty people, consisting of ten cardinals and forty golden knights, all riding fine horses and protecting Bibi Dong, making for an incredibly impressive scene.

"Your Holiness the Pope... Your Holiness the Pope..."

At this moment, the citizens of Wuhun City went wild, standing on both sides of the street, kneeling and welcoming them, cheering loudly.

"Rise, my subjects."

Bibi Dong watched as the citizens knelt to greet her, then immediately stood up and announced with a smile that everyone should rise. At this moment, she truly was an unparalleled empress, her demeanor perfectly controlled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty..."

At this moment, the citizens were all captivated by Bibi Dong's aura and began to call her Her Majesty the Empress.

Amid cheers from the citizens, Bibi Dong made a high-profile entrance into the Great Soul Arena.

"Welcome to the final stage. Now, please welcome His Holiness the Pope."

When Bibi Dong entered the Soul Arena amidst a crowd of onlookers, the host immediately used a soul-guided megaphone to announce to all the spectators that His Holiness the Pope had arrived.

"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope."

When the tens of thousands of spectators in the Soul Arena saw Pope Bibi Dong arrive, they immediately knelt down to greet her.

"Rise, all of you!"

Bibi Dong waved her hand, announcing that everyone should rise. Then, surrounded by Gui Ju and the Knights, she ascended to the highest VIP seat in the Soul Arena.

"Godmother, you're amazing! Your entrance was so dazzling! Everyone thought you were a real empress. Countless girls had stars in their eyes when they saw you."

As soon as Bibi Dong sat down, she heard Ye Liangchen's voice ring in her mind.

"Xiao Chen, thank you..."

Bibi Dong looked into the distance and saw the little guy closing his eyes and communicating with her through his soul. This immediately put her in a good mood, and a charming smile appeared on her face. So she also immediately communicated with Ye Liangchen through her soul.

"What on earth is Bibi Dong up to?"

Some people in the Offering Hall were stunned by Bibi Dong's high-profile entrance.

"What trick are you playing now?"

Xue Qinghe, played by Qian Renxue, has no idea what Bibi Dong is up to.

"Uncle Jian, it seems Bibi Dong has quite the ambition!"

Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo exchanged a glance, a bad feeling creeping into their hearts.

Looking at the radiant Bibi Dong, Yu Xiaogang was consumed by jealousy, his face contorted with rage.

"Bibi Dong, do you intend to become empress? How presumptuous of you. Hmph..."

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang roared in his heart in a helpless rage. His eunuch face turned extremely pale with hatred, without a trace of blood.

"Bibi Dong harmed my teacher. One day, I will avenge my teacher and destroy the Spirit Hall."

Tang San was equally furious and vowed in his heart to destroy the Spirit Hall.
