In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

Ning Rongrong gave an "Oh," then turned her gaze back to Lan Si, her eyes slightly dazed. Could it be Tang Ritian? If it really was him, why did he hide his identity from her back then? And... what exactly had she done to him these past two years?

Whenever Ning Rongrong thought about the few times they had met and how much she had shown Lan Si that she felt disgusted with him, she felt a little regretful.

It shouldn't be him, Ning Rongrong thought, taking one last deep look at Lan Si before looking away.

Chapter 254 The Tragic Tang Ritian

Humans are creatures that crave novelty and enjoy gossip; once their curiosity is satisfied, the novelty wears off quickly.

After a period of noise lasting for about half an hour, the participating academies gradually left.

As symbols of the Heaven Dou Empire, the second and first teams of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy will naturally return together under the escort of the Heaven Dou Empire's Royal Knights. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which is aligned with the Heaven Dou Empire, will also accompany them.

Before parting, Lan Si symbolically said a brief goodbye to Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe, then turned around and returned to the hotel with the two beauties, Xiao Mao Mi and Ye Lingling. The three of them returned to their room and began fusing their soul bones to restore their soul power.

Silent all night.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, under the conditioning of the two great techniques, the Supreme Heaven and Earth Skill and the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Technique, Lan Si's physical condition was completely restored to its peak.

Lan Si glanced at the kitten and Ye Lingling who were still fusing their soul bones, smiled slightly, and quietly walked out of the room.

As soon as Lan Si stepped out of the room, she encountered two unexpected people: Ju Hua Guan and Gui Mei.

They stood guard outside the door, one on each side, and it seemed they had been there for quite some time.

"Kid, you're finally awake. Old Ghost and I have been waiting for you for ages. You didn't spend a whole day and night with your two girlfriends, did you? Young people still have plenty of energy. That won't do. If the young master finds out, I'm afraid no one will be able to save you. But don't worry, Old Ghost and I will keep your secret."

Juhua Guan yawned and opened his eyes as if on his own. When he saw Lan Si's appearance, he froze on the spot. After a long while, he finally reacted, looking Lan Si up and down, his eyes shining: "Perfect...so perfect, simply like a perfect work of art...no wonder even the young master is so infatuated with you..."

"Uh..." Lan Si's lips twitched, and he asked in surprise, "Did you two come here for something?"

The Ghost Douluo beside him said in a slightly hoarse voice, "His Holiness the Pope is worried that Tang Hao will infiltrate Wuhun City again to harm you, so he specifically ordered the two of us to come and protect you."

"Alright, kid, now that you're awake, come with us. His Holiness the Pope wants to see you," Chrysanthemum Gate said.

Lan Si shook her head, her gaze shifting to the inside of the house. "I'm sorry, I can't leave right now."

The ghost turned its head and glanced at the kitten and Ye Lingling inside the room who were absorbing soul bones, and said indifferently, "Leave this to me. With me here, no one can get close to this room. And no one can disturb those two girls."

Lan Si shook his head again: "I'm sorry, Lingling and Zhuqing are unfamiliar with this place. I don't want them to be worried and afraid after they wake up and can't see me."

As he spoke, Lan Si walked back into the room and closed the door. He was not comfortable entrusting the safety of the kitten and his cousin to strangers, especially at such a crucial moment of absorbing soul bones.

Looking at the closed room, Ghost and Chrysanthemum Pass were stunned. Chrysanthemum Pass complained with some dissatisfaction, "This kid is really arrogant. He even dared to refuse His Holiness the Pope's invitation."

"He didn't refuse; he just needed to protect those two girls. Besides, His Holiness the Pope said he could come whenever he was free. In the meantime, all we need to do is ensure his safety," Ghost said calmly.

"Old ghost, are you deliberately trying to sabotage me?" Juhua Guan said angrily.

"I'm just stating the facts. What, are you planning to disobey His Holiness the Pope's orders?" Ghost crossed his arms and leaned calmly against the wall behind him.

"You...you're ruthless." Recalling Bibi Dong's ruthless methods, Ju Hua Guan couldn't help but shudder. He dared not disobey the Pope's orders.

................

Outside of Wuhun City.

A one-armed figure stood atop a cliff, staring down at the gates of Wuhun City. He was Tang Ritian, waiting there for Lan Si to leave the city.

At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot. When he learned from a conversation with a passing Soul Master team yesterday that Lan Si had refused the supreme reward of the 100,000-year-old Soul Bone after winning the Soul Master Competition, citing the fact that the Pope had saved him from Haotian Douluo, Tang Ritian almost fainted on the spot.

Knowing full well that the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone was of immense significance to him and Tang San, he still willingly gave it away to their enemy, the Spirit Hall. Wasn't this blatantly humiliating himself and slapping the face of the Clear Sky Douluo?

This action undoubtedly strengthened his resolve to eliminate Lan Si.

What does it matter if he is a descendant of the Clear Sky Sect? In any case, the Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect does not acknowledge Lan Si as his great-grandson, and Lan Si did not inherit the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul. On the contrary, his awakened mutated martial soul seriously threatens the Clear Sky Hammer's status as the number one martial soul in the world.

He needs to clear obstacles for his son's future.

Lan Si, who threatened the title of the Clear Sky Hammer as the number one weapon spirit in the world, was nipped in the bud.

Perhaps his killing intent blinded him, or perhaps his severed arm and loss of his soul bone caused a severe decline in his strength, but he did not notice the three figures flying rapidly toward Wuhun City in the distance.

One of them possessed two pairs of brilliant golden wings spread behind him, and an exquisitely beautiful face. Although his aura was that of a Soul Saint, his speed was no less than that of a Title Douluo, and perhaps even surpassed it. The other two were true Title Douluos, as they could fly without releasing their Martial Souls and without using Soul Bones, which were clearly the hallmarks of Title Douluos.

The Ronin Who Began with Douluo Continent

They were Qian Renxue, who had broken away from the Heaven Dou Empire's convoy and was heading back to Wuhun City, along with the two Title Douluos, Serpent Spear and Bloodthorn, who were responsible for protecting her.

Lan Si was about to leave for the City of Slaughter, and Qian Renxue naturally couldn't leave without seeing him off. It just so happened that Wuhun City was more than twenty days' journey from Tiandou City. Qian Renxue had a substitute stay in the carriage in her place, and when she found an opportunity, she secretly left the caravan and slipped away to Wuhun City.

Although there was a risk that this might arouse Ning Fengzhi's suspicion, she couldn't care less about that now.

The mental strength of a Title Douluo is incredibly powerful.

Unfortunately, Tang Hao was located directly below their flight path, and soon, the Serpent Spear and the Porcupine spotted Tang Ritian.

"Young Master, that's Tang Hao." Serpent Spear Douluo immediately used his voice to inform Qian Renxue, who was flying rapidly ahead. Because he and Thorn Blood had participated in the battle against Fu Tang Ritian in the Papal Palace a few days ago, they quickly recognized Tang Hao's identity.

At the same time, Qian Renxue also discovered Tang Ritian's whereabouts. When she learned that the person in front of her was Tang Ritian, who had attacked her young man and killed her father's enemy, a murderous aura immediately appeared in Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes. She took out a golden mask from her storage soul tool, and seven soul rings, two yellow, two purple, and three black, suddenly flashed.

With her seventh spirit ring lit up, Qian Renxue activated her Angelic True Form and charged forward without hesitation.

Today, Tang Ritian must pay the price for his previous attack on Lan Si. And incidentally, he must also avenge his father.

Chapter 255 Bibi Dong Bibi Dong Bibi Dong

Inside the Papal Palace in Wuhun City.

Bibi Dong sat on the high throne in the center, her beautiful eyes slightly closed and her jade hand supporting her cheek.

Below the platform, a blonde young woman knelt on one knee, head bowed, her bright golden hair hanging freely, her eyes obscured by shadows, her beautiful face filled with stubbornness.

"Have you really thought this through?" A heavenly voice suddenly echoed in the hall, and Bibi Dong slowly opened her beautiful eyes.

"Yes, Master. I have failed you. Even with the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique you bestowed upon me, I still lost to Lan Si. Even if Lan Si is destined not to be an enemy of the Spirit Hall, I must catch up with him. Obtaining the God of Slaughter Domain is my only way." Hu Liena bit her red lips tightly, her voice trembling with intense resentment.

“Actually, you can also quickly improve your strength by going to the Death Canyon. Why go to that Slaughter City? You should know that once you go there, even I can't bring you out. If you want to get out, you can only rely on yourself. In the past thousand years, including Tang Hao and me, only eight people have truly come out of there.” Bibi Dong sighed helplessly, her expression softening slightly.

Hu Liena raised her beautiful face, her eyes fixed on Bibi Dong with unwavering determination. She shook her head and said, "No, teacher, failure is shameful and must be washed away with blood. Although Death Valley is dangerous, it cannot make me feel the aura of death. I have always known that you care about me. Even when I go to Death Valley for training, you have Grandpa Ju and Grandpa Gui secretly follow and protect me. If I don't experience the true aura of death, the gap between me and Lan Si will only widen in the future."

At this moment, the seductive look on Hu Liena's face had faded, replaced by determination and resolve.

"Sigh..." A purple light rose from Bibi Dong's feet. In the next instant, Bibi Dong was already in front of Hu Liena. She reached out and pulled Hu Liena up from the ground. Looking at her disciple's stubborn expression, she hesitated for a moment, then opened her right hand, and two beams of light, one white and one black, shot into the sky.

In an instant, a chilling and surging aura swept through the entire hall.

These are two soul bones. One of them is a relatively intact head soul bone, crystal clear, white in color, and exuding an aura that is no less powerful than that of a wisdom skull that condenses spiritual energy. Clearly, this is a head soul bone that is at least 50,000 years old.

The other soul bone was the right arm bone, which was more complete and had an exceptionally domineering aura. As soon as it appeared, Hu Liena was almost blown away by its terrifying aura. Fortunately, Bibi Dong intervened in time to suppress the terrifying aura of the soul bone, otherwise Hu Liena would have been in a sorry state.

This was the very soul bone that Bibi Dong had taken from Tang Ritian a few days ago.

He originally intended to give it to Lan Si, but after learning from Serpent Spear Douluo that Lan Si had obtained a rare right arm weapon-type soul bone with an age of 85,000 years more than a year ago, he no longer hesitated.

As for the piece that Lan Si gave to Ye Lingling, she thought it was taken from the Illusionary Wisdom Skull from that year.

"Absorb these two soul bones before you leave," Bibi Dong said calmly.

Hu Liena's pupils contracted immediately, and she said, flattered, "Teacher, this... is too precious."

Bibi Dong smiled slightly and said, "Even the most precious things need to be put to good use. You are my disciple, raised by me. Compared to you, this is nothing."

Hearing this, Hu Liena stopped being coy. After carefully putting away the soul bone, she left the main hall with tears in her eyes.

As soon as Hu Liena left, an armored guard quickly entered and respectfully said, "Your Holiness the Pope, Elder Serpent Spear requests an audience."

"Let him in."

Bibi Dong sat back down. A moment later, a middle-aged man dressed in golden armor and with a golden snake mark on his forehead walked in. He knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope."

"Elder Serpent Spear, why aren't you protecting the young master? What brings you here?" Bibi Dong asked calmly.

Serpent Spear Douluo She Long said, "Your Holiness, while escorting the young master back, Cizhu and I encountered Tang Hao on a cliff on the eastern outskirts of Wuhun City. It seems that his cultivation has been greatly reduced because you cut off his arm and caused his soul bone to fall. Even when the three of us approached, he did not notice us. After the young master learned of this, he immediately rushed over. Ci Xue and I were worried about the young master's safety, so we also rushed forward to help. With the combined efforts of the three of us, Tang Hao was injured again. Strangely, even though he was injured, he was unwilling to use his explosive ring technique and only cared about escaping. However, the young master was determined to kill him. Only when he realized that he could not escape did Tang Hao use his explosive ring technique to flee. Ci Xue and I were worried that Tang Hao would fight back before he died, so we stopped the young master from continuing to pursue him."

"Well done, Tang Hao. He really did have plans to ambush A-Si in secret." A ruthless glint flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes. After a moment, she said in a deep voice, "Although the Haotian Sect's Soul Ring Detonation technique is powerful, the price is also huge. After using the Great Sumeru Hammer to detonate the Soul Rings once, all Soul Rings will disappear within three days, leaving only Soul Power. It takes a full three days for the Soul Rings to gradually recover. And after using the Soul Ring Detonation technique once, there must be at least a 36-day interval before it can be used again, otherwise there is a risk that the Soul Rings will be truly destroyed."

“Even when he was dealing with me, he didn’t dare to use the Soul Ring Explosion. It seems he used it not long ago. This time, the Soul Ring that was forcibly blasted should be irreversible. In addition, since I cut off his arm earlier, he will no longer be able to pose a threat to the Spirit Hall.”

"However, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. If you hadn't stopped Xue'er, Tang Hao might have been willing to destroy all his spirit rings in order to perish with you. You did a good job in that regard."

Upon hearing this, Serpent Spear Douluo could no longer conceal his excitement and respectfully said, "Congratulations to His Holiness the Pope for eliminating Tang Hao, a great enemy, for the Spirit Hall."

"Alright, you don't need to flatter me. This is a collective achievement of all the elders, with you and Ci Xue being particularly meritorious." Bibi Dong waved her hand, skipping over the previous topic. "How is Xue'er?"

Serpent Spear Douluo respectfully replied, "Young Master is very strong. Although he is only a Soul Saint, his strength has already surpassed mine and that of Porcupine. However, he was slightly injured when Tang Hao used the Exploding Ring technique. He is now fine and has gone to find Young Master Lan Si."

"A-Si?!" Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong slowly rose, her figure flashing as she arrived at the plaza in front of the Papal Palace. Reaching the edge of the plaza, her beautiful eyes gazed in the direction of Lan Si's hotel, her pupils filled with complex emotions... Perhaps, this is for the best...

Chapter 256 The Tragic Story of Tang Ritian and His Son

The hotel where Lan Si and the other two stayed.

"Ah Si, my soul power has broken through to level 49. After absorbing this 85,000-year-old Blue Silver King's right arm soul bone, my soul power increased by two whole levels. It seems that I'm not far from level 50." This was the first thing Ye Lingling said to Lan Si after she woke up.

She happily threw herself into Lan Si's arms.

Lan Si smiled slightly and patted Ye Lingling's back lightly. "What you absorbed is an extremely rare weapon-type martial soul. I'll demonstrate what kind of soul skill it is later. Then, based on your soul skill, I'll teach you a set of self-created soul skills that are suitable for you. Combined with the Meteor Step and Grappling Hand that I taught you before, it should be able to make you a truly offensive support-type soul master."

"Thank you, A-Si." Ye Lingling smiled and nodded. Perhaps because she was too excited, she couldn't control her emotions. As she spoke into Lan Si's ear, she gently kissed him on the cheek.

"Congratulations, Sister Lingling." The kitten beside her also woke up. Her soul bone's age and quality were inferior to the one Ye Lingling had absorbed, so she woke up earlier. Because she absorbed the Wisdom Skull, her soul power didn't increase much, only one level, reaching level forty-six. However, her spiritual power received an unprecedented boost, reaching a level close to Soul Saint, already faintly surpassing Tang San, who had cultivated the Purple Demon Eye at this stage.

Hearing the kitten's words, Ye Lingling was startled. Her pretty face flushed red as she left Lan Si's embrace and hurriedly explained, "Zhu Qing, don't misunderstand... A Si and I..."

"What misunderstanding?" The kitten looked puzzled. Perhaps it was the angle, but she didn't notice Ye Lingling kissing Lan Si.
