Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 205 Yu Xiaogang was so angry he vomited blood.

The arrival of Pope Bibi Dong brought the atmosphere of the entire Great Soul Arena to its climax.

"Now, please welcome the thirty-three participating teams to the center arena of the Soul Arena."

At this moment, the host, following instructions from Bibi Dong, announced that all teams participating in the finals should enter the arena.

The young soul masters who can participate in the finals are all geniuses. Bibi Dong decided to meet them in person to leave a good impression on them. As for whether she can win over some of them, she'll see after meeting them.

This year's Soul Master Competition was the most grand competition in its history, and the finals were especially significant. Therefore, Bibi Dong appointed a cardinal to preside over the entire finals. This person was named Chris, a Soul Saint with a flying martial soul and a strength level of 76.

"First up is the Spirit Hall's Golden Team, led by three geniuses from our Spirit Hall who have earned the Purple Record Medal: Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena. The remaining members are Zhang Ping, Li Kai, Xu Yu..."

"In order to ensure fairness, His Holiness the Pope has removed the guaranteed spot for the Golden Team in this competition, allowing the team members to start from the qualifying rounds of the finals and compete against other teams. Let's give them a round of applause."

As Chris's voice rang out, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Yan, Zhang Ping, Li Kai, Xu Yu, Sun Chuantao, and four substitute players walked into the Soul Arena with their heads held high.

"The Spirit Hall team actually gave up their guaranteed spot and still has to compete against the remaining 32 teams?"

"I must say, His Holiness the Pope's decision this time was very fair!"

The members of each team were extremely surprised when they heard the news.

"What is Pope Bibi Dong up to?"

Some high-ranking members of the Heaven Dou Royal Family and the Star Luo Royal Family were also puzzled by Bibi Dong's decision, as it was not in line with the Spirit Hall's style!

Since being healed by Ye Liangchen, Bibi Dong is no longer the cold and ruthless pope she once was. Instead, she is a peerless empress of unparalleled beauty, radiating a dazzling light that makes Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and others feel very uncomfortable. Even the people in the Hall of Offerings cannot understand the current Bibi Dong, and sometimes they even think that this Bibi Dong is a fake.

"The Spirit Hall Team... Spirit Hall..."

"The Spirit Hall will surely win..."

All members of the Golden Team possessed cultivation levels above Soul Master, with Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan even reaching the Soul King level. Their appearance immediately drew cheers from countless people in Spirit City, with some even shouting slogans that the Spirit Hall team would surely win. This left Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan speechless, thinking: With that monster Ye Liangchen around, how could we possibly win the championship? We're just putting on an act for him.

"Next up are the teams from the two great empires: the Star Luo Royal Academy Team, the Heaven Dou Royal Team One, the Heaven Dou Shrek Team, the Divine Wind Team, and the Blazing Fire Team..."

Chris then announced the appearance of the team members from the two empires and various duchies, and introduced the names of the team members when introducing each team, giving everyone ample face.

"Distinguished guests, the much-anticipated Tianshui team has arrived."

"This year's Tianshui team has broken with convention. The team members are no longer limited to water-attribute soul masters, and there is also a male student, who is the most outstanding young genius of today, Young Master Ye Liangchen."

"The Tianshui Team can be said to be the best team of this year, stronger than our Spirit Hall's Golden Team. Captain Shui Bing'er, at such a young age, is already a level 55 Soul King. The rest of the team—Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu, Yu Hai Rou, Du Gu Yan, Ye Ling Ling, Zhu Zhu Qing, Gu Qing Bo, Qiu Ruo Shui, and Shen Liu Yu—are all the most outstanding young talents of their generation. His Holiness the Pope commented that all the female members of the Tianshui Team have the potential to become Title Douluos. Given time, they will surely become world-renowned female Douluos."

"Let's give a round of applause to all members of the Tianshui team."

Following Bibi Dong's instructions, Chris deliberately arranged for the Tianshui team to be last, allowing Ye Liangchen and his group to make a grand entrance and introduce each team member, giving Tianshui Academy ample face.

"Tianshui Team...Tianshui Team..."

When Ye Liangchen and Shui Bing'er appeared, they immediately drew cheers from the audience. Even some viewers who had previously supported the Spirit Hall's Golden Team started waving flags and shouting for the Tianshui Team.

"Clap clap clap..."

When the Tianshui team entered, the Spirit Hall team was the first to applaud in welcome. Other teams followed suit. Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, and others felt that they had reacted too slowly and wished they could clap their hands until they were broken.

"Ladies and gentlemen, isn't this a bit too formal?"

Ye Liangchen watched as these teams applauded his own team, feeling utterly speechless, as if he were some kind of high-ranking leader.

"Young Master Ye, your Tianshui team is the strongest among all the participating teams. We admire you very much."

Hu Liena said with a smile, "This prodigy is the teacher's godson, so of course I have to show my appreciation."

The Tianshui team is truly dazzling. A stunningly handsome man and a group of goddess-level beauties make them the center of attention wherever they go, and everyone loves them.

However, some people dislike the Tianshui team, such as Ning Fengzhi and Davis, as well as Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun from the Shrek team. Dai Mubai dislikes Zhu Zhuqing joining Tianshui Academy, while Ma Hongjun dislikes Ye Liangchen for being able to spend time with so many beautiful women.

The more outstanding the Tianshui team became, the more uncomfortable Tang San and Yu Xiaogang felt, because both of them had been humiliated by Ye Liangchen. At this moment, the master and disciple were so jealous that they were unrecognizable, and their faces were extremely gloomy.

"Now, please welcome His Holiness the Pope to give a speech for the finals." The host, Chris, flew to Bibi Dong and handed her the soul-guided megaphone with both hands.

"Your Holiness the Pope... Long live Your Holiness the Pope..."

As host Chris announced it, countless viewers went wild, waving flags and shouting for Bibi Dong. The sound was like a tsunami, with each wave higher than the last.

Bibi Dong stood up, took the soul-guided megaphone, suppressed the cheers of the crowd, and gave an opening speech for the finals.

"I hereby declare the Grand Finals officially open."

As Bibi Dong finished speaking, she took flight, like a peerless fairy, and slowly floated down to the center of the arena, looking at all the students from the participating teams with a smile on her face.

"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope."

Bibi Dong descended upon the Soul Fighting Arena, and members of all the teams knelt down, clasped their hands in a fist salute to this peerless female pope.

Davis and Zhu Zhuyun were members of the Star Luo Empire's royal family. They did not kneel, but still placed their right hands on their chests and bowed to Bibi Dong as a sign of respect for a titled Douluo powerhouse.

"Xiao Chen, I'm sorry to trouble you for a little while."

Seeing that Ye Liangchen was also bowing to her, Bibi Dong felt a little guilty, so she used her soul power to force her voice into a line and transmit it to the little guy's ears to express her apology.

"Godmother! Don't worry about it. This is your moment to shine, so of course I have to support you! Besides, I'm the younger generation, so it's only natural for me to bow to you."

Ye Liangchen directly used soul transmission to tell Bibi Dong that he had to give her face at this moment.

"Xiao Chen, thank you! I'll cook you something delicious tonight!"

Hearing the little guy defend her pride like this, Bibi Dong felt incredibly happy.

"Children, rise!" Bibi Dong smiled gently, her jade hand waving her hand to signal everyone to rise.

"Thank you, Your Holiness the Pope." Everyone stood up to express their gratitude.

Among the 33 teams, the Shrek team stood out as particularly strange. Apart from Zhu Xiaomei, Yu Tianheng, and three substitute members bowing to Bibi Dong, the Shrek Six Monsters made no other gesture.

Having been taught by Flander to defy authority, the Shrek Six felt no need to bow to Bibi Dong. At this moment, they all stood tall and proud, exuding arrogance.

Tang San, in particular, as a disciple of the Tang Sect, could not possibly bow to anyone other than his parents and teachers. Xiao Wu, being a spirit beast, and remembering that Bibi Dong was her enemy, was also unwilling to bow to her. Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong, considering their noble status, were also unwilling to bow to Bibi Dong. As for Ma Hongjun and Oscar, having been taught by Flander since childhood that the Spirit Hall was not a good organization, and given that Zhao Wuji was constantly wanted by the Spirit Hall, neither of them bowed.

"How dare you! Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Ning Rongrong from the Shrek Academy team, why don't you pay your respects to His Holiness the Pope?"

"As a low-level Soul Master, how can you not bow to a powerful figure? Don't you even understand the basic etiquette of a Soul Master?"

Several cardinals, seeing that the Shrek Six Monsters did not bow to Bibi Dong, loudly questioned them.

"Wow! These Shrek Academy team members are really tough. They didn't even bow to His Holiness the Pope. It's truly an eye-opener." Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, and the others were incredulous at Tang San and his group's actions.

"These members of the Shrek team have been educated by the farting master Yu Xiaogang and Flander's spirit of not fearing power, so naturally they will not bow to His Holiness the Pope."

The Barak Academy members, having previously been in Soto City and familiar with Shrek Academy and Flander's practices, revealed this information publicly.

"Even a prodigy like Young Master Ye bows to His Holiness the Pope. I really don't know what gives these Shrek students the confidence to maintain their arrogance?"

Many team members knew that Ye Liangchen didn't even give face to Emperor Xueye, yet now he was bowing to Bibi Dong just like everyone else.

"Friends, in addition to being the Pope of the Spirit Hall, Her Holiness is also a stunningly beautiful and peerless female Douluo. We young people are her juniors, so it is only natural for us to pay our respects to our elders."

"Many of you Soul Master friends here may still be receiving Soul Master subsidies, which is a benefit that this peerless female pope fought for for everyone. Without her proposal, the high and mighty rulers of the empire would not have been able to take out money to subsidize young Soul Masters, and you would not have been able to receive Soul Defense Master subsidies."

"Such an unparalleled empress deserves everyone's respect."

"Look at that farting master Yu Xiaogang, and that Tang San, they both received Soul Master subsidies from the Spirit Hall, but when they saw His Holiness the Pope, their eyes were filled with endless hatred, as if they wanted to tear him to pieces."

"Who the hell is this person? How can they be so shameless?"

"To be honest, I have never seen such a shameless person."

Ye Liangchen directly defeated Bibi Dong, and also disgusted Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.

"Brother Ye is absolutely right. We young people have all received Soul Master subsidies. This is a benefit that His Holiness the Pope fought for for everyone. If we don't know how to be grateful, then we'll be ungrateful."

"Master Yu Xiaogang is an ingrate. He has received Soul Master subsidies from the Spirit Hall for decades, yet he still hates His Holiness the Pope. Now he has turned the Shrek Six Monsters into ingrates. He is a real bastard."

Students from other teams immediately stood up to support Ye Liangchen's point of view and joined in mocking the Shrek Six Monsters and Yu Xiaogang.

Bibi Dong was overjoyed to see Ye Liangchen bringing students from various teams to support her. If there weren't so many people watching, she would have immediately hugged the little guy and showered him with affection.

"This is outrageous..."

Yu Xiaogang was in the stands, his face turning purple with anger, and his effeminate voice was incredibly unpleasant to hear.

"Rongrong, why aren't you bowing to His Holiness the Pope?"

Ning Fengzhi lost face and loudly rebuked Ning Rongrong, saying that his daughter had been called an ingrate by everyone, which made the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School lose face.

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi felt as if he had eaten three pounds of excrement, feeling extremely nauseous.

"Fengzhi, I advised you before not to let Rongrong go to Shrek Academy, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened."

"Yu Xiaogang has warped values; he actually raised his child to be like this. It's outrageous."

Sword Douluo looked at Ning Rongrong with a sense of disappointment. This girl had studied at Shrek Academy for several years and turned into an ingrate. That was a fact, and there was no way to refute it.

"Tang San, Xiao Wu, Hong Jun, Oscar, what are you doing? Hurry up and pay your respects to His Holiness the Pope!"

Flander also shouted loudly from the audience, "How come these little monsters don't understand human relationships at all?"

Flander was naturally displeased that his students were being called ingrates, but when he thought about what the little monsters had done, it really made sense. For example, Oscar had said that he only felt the Spirit Hall's kindness when he received the Soul Master subsidy.

"What kind of monster have I raised?"

Flander was starting to have an existential crisis. Shrek Academy's reputation had been completely ruined by this generation of little monsters.

"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope."

Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, Oscar and the others then realized what was happening and immediately bowed to Bibi Dong.

Only Tang San and Xiao Wu remained standing upright. Xiao Wu refused to bow to her enemy. Tang San, on the other hand, was a reincarnated person from another world and was unwilling to bow to anyone else in this world. Moreover, Bibi Dong had wronged his teacher so badly; she was an enemy, and he could never kneel before her.

"Hold on, mistress, don't kneel."

Yu Xiaogang stood in the audience, his face gloomy, praying in his heart that Tang San would hold on.

"Xiao San, as a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, you cannot kneel before the Spirit Hall." Tang Dachui, hiding on a rooftop in the distance, was also praying that Tang San would not kneel before Bibi Dong.

"Tang San, Xiao Wu, how dare you!"

Ghost Chrysanthemum Douluo flew directly to the front of the Shrek Academy team and used his powerful soul power to press down on Tang San and Xiao Wu, instantly bending their knees and causing them to crash onto the Soul Fighting Arena.

"Ah ah..."

Tang San and Xiao Wu's knees slammed heavily against the granite floor, causing them to cry out in pain.

Despite his pain, Tang San roared angrily in his heart: Bibi Dong, Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, you have all found a way to die.

"Moon Gate, Ghostly Spirit, that's enough. I'm not going to hold a grudge against a few children."

"It's normal that the Shrek Six Monsters turned out this way because they were raised with the warped values ​​of Yu Xiaogang, the Farting Master, and Flander."

"Oh! What a pity."

Bibi Dong waved her hand, gesturing for the Shrek Six Monsters to stand up. She then took the opportunity to criticize Yu Xiaogang and Flander's flawed teaching philosophy and values, feigning concern for the children.

"Everyone, we understand that Flander has a famous saying: 'A Soul Master who dares not cause trouble is a mediocre talent.' It is under the teaching philosophy of Flander that the students of Shrek Academy have become arrogant, domineering, and cowardly bullies. Especially when they fought in the Soto Grand Soul Arena, they always adhered to the principle of 'I can hit you, but you can't hit me'..."

The students of the Barak team have dug up some of Shrek Academy's past activities in Soto City, letting the world see Shrek's shameless behavior.

"The Shrek Six Monsters have become like this because their teacher has warped values!"

"No wonder Shrek Academy wasn't officially recognized by the Empire before joining the Heaven Dou Royal Academy; it was a terrible academy!"

"Why would Heaven Dou Royal Academy allow such a trash academy to merge with them? Isn't this a disgrace to the royal family?"

Who knows?

Following Bibi Dong's words, the other teams all teased Shrek Academy.

It has to be said that Bibi Dong's move of killing with her heart was truly ruthless, resonating with people and directly dealing a critical hit of 10,000 points to Yu Xiaogang and Flander.

"Bibi Dong, how could you be so vicious..."

"Xiao Gang, don't talk."

Yu Xiaogang, standing in the stands, lost his composure when he saw Bibi Dong publicly declare him a "farting master." He was about to unleash a torrent of abuse, but Flander immediately covered his mouth, preventing him from speaking.

At this moment, Flander wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Ever since the little monsters participated in the Soul Master Competition, they had been bringing him all sorts of embarrassing things, and Flander sometimes even started to withdraw into himself.

"Yu Xiaogang, the master of farting, what were you yelling about just now?"

"How dare you, a piece of trash who only knows how to fart, call His Holiness the Pope by his name? If it weren't for the fact that you are Yu Yuanzhen's biological son, you would already be dead."

Ghost Chrysanthemum Douluo stared coldly at Yu Xiaogang, their powerful energy making it hard for him to breathe.

"Your Excellencies, Xiao Gang is mentally unstable. Please don't take it to heart," Flander immediately pleaded with Guiju and the other man.

"Moon Gate, Ghostly Spirit, don't bother with a piece of trash who only knows how to fart. Just treat him like a mad dog barking."

"Yu Yuanzhen was wise and brilliant all his life, but he had a good-for-nothing son who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. If he knew that his good-for-nothing son could be so reckless, he would definitely regret not shooting this good-for-nothing son against the wall to die."

"As the saying goes, a wise man can be ruined by a fart. Yu Yuanzhen can be said to have lost his reputation in his later years."

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's powerless rage, Bibi Dong launched into another barrage of sarcastic remarks that were both deadly and morally damaging. She even insulted Yu Yuanzhen, truly a case of skinning him alive and killing him without drawing blood!

Now that Bibi Dong has her godson backing her up, she's become much more assertive and can challenge anyone, including the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. She doesn't even consider them a threat.

"Bibi Dong...you...you...pfft pfft pfft..."

Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, Yu Xiaogang was so enraged that he spat out a mouthful of blood three meters high and then fainted.

"Xiaogang... Doctor... Doctor!"

When Flander saw that Yu Xiaogang had fainted from anger and vomited blood, he immediately picked Yu Xiaogang up and ran towards the infirmary.

"teacher…"

When Tang San saw his teacher cough up blood three meters high in the Soul Fighting Arena, he was startled. At the same time, his hatred for Bibi Dong reached its peak, and he wished he could rush over and cut her into a thousand pieces.

"Hahaha...! A lifetime of wisdom, ruined by a fart! Your Holiness's words are truly masterful."

"The farting master actually vomited blood three meters high, that's amazing!"

"You guys don't understand. Yu Xiaogang's nickname is 'Farting Master.' He farts so loudly that he can also spit blood high into the air."

"That's right! Whether it's farting or vomiting blood, it's all the same to Yu Xiaogang; it's all just a matter of a breath."

"Hahaha…!"

When everyone saw Yu Xiaogang vomit blood in anger, they all burst into laughter, especially the girls, who covered their mouths and laughed so hard they were doubled over.

"The way this female pope speaks reminds me a lot of Xiao Chen!"

Shui Lanxin and her sister, Ye Cailan, Dugu Bo and the others listened to Bibi Dong's infuriating words and felt that this woman had been led astray by the little guy.

"Godmother! You're quite the talker! You made Yu Xiaogang so angry he almost vomited blood."

Ye Liangchen was truly surprised to see that Bibi Dong could anger Yu Xiaogang to such an extent. So he immediately used his soul power to send her a telepathic message, giving her a thumbs up.

"Hehe...! Xiao Chen, I learned this from you!"

Bibi Dong was also very excited at this moment. She could almost make Yu Xiaogang angry to death with just a few words. This feeling was really great.
