Chapter 81: Supreme Pontiff Conference; Invincible at the Same Level

…

"Stand up!"

Bibi Dong's voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly, as if the sound was ringing in their ears, carrying a sense of majesty.

Truly worthy of the Pope, his strength is truly unparalleled!

Everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts because the moment the Pope's voice sounded, they felt their soul power pause for a moment, as if suppressed. It must be noted that even the weakest among them is at the level of a Soul Saint, and there are many powerful Soul Douluo. They were all in the same situation. Just an ordinary Title Douluo wouldn't be able to simultaneously control so many people with just their voice.

The Pope's strength is truly terrifying!

"Thank you, Your Holiness!" 

Everyone respectfully spoke in unison to Bibi Dong, standing up and returning to their seats.

"Teacher is so powerful! So cool!" 

The girl sitting below Bibi Dong admired with worshipful eyes, her delicate face showing a blush of admiration. Only this beautiful and powerful woman, the esteemed Pope of the Martial Soul Hall, the youngest Pope in the history of the Martial Soul Hall, and the youngest female Title Douluo in the Douluo Continent, can make so many experts kneel and submit. She is also the respected master of this girl!

Looking at the majestic and beautiful Pope, a sense of pride filled the girl's heart, surging with high spirits.

Being a disciple of this Pope is the proudest and most honorable thing in her life.

"The meeting begins, start with your report." Bibi Dong looked down at a person and said casually.

This meeting was about the development of the Martial Soul Hall in the past year, control over various forces and countries, and the conflicts and situations between various forces and countries.

If these reports were heard by outsiders, it would be shocking. Because these information leak the Martial Soul Hall's naked ambition to dominate the entire Douluo Continent.

Of course, this situation is inevitable.

After Bibi Dong became the Pope, the Martial Soul Hall became more powerful and expanded its influence. And Bibi Dong also has the ambition to rule the entire continent.

This point is clear to the two empires and the Upper Three Sects. However, they can't do anything even if they know about the Martial Soul Hall's ambition. Would they dare to go to war with the Martial Soul Hall? Of course, that's impossible because they don't have the strength.

Perhaps, if the two empires and the Upper Three Sects unite, they can oppose the Martial Soul Hall. But in that case, who would be the leader? Neither side would submit to the other, so how could they unite? If they were stabbed in the back by someone, it would be game over for them.

The reason these forces were able to unite during the later stages of the Douluo Continent was because they reached a critical moment of life and death, and they had a profound friendship with the protagonist Tang San. It was because of this trust that they were able to unite against the Martial Soul Hall.

So for now, they can only maintain this delicate and false peace, waiting for an opportunity to turn the tables, or waiting for destruction to come.

The Martial Soul Hall is also waiting for an opportunity to establish stable control over the Douluo Continent. Bibi Dong knew that there are still some unstable factors in this world that can obstruct the footsteps of the Martial Soul Hall.

For example, the power of the gods.

That is no longer a domain that ordinary people can touch. With this power, even with a large number of people, soul masters, and Title Douluo, they can be easily destroyed.

Their current strength is still not enough to resist the power of the gods.

She still needs some time.

Because she has already touched this power, she knows how terrible it is.

As long as some more time passes and she can control this power, even if she starts a war...

This meeting went on for over two hours and was nearing its end.

At this moment, a middle-aged man stood up and respectfully said to Bibi Dong on the high seat, "Respected Pope, I have something to report."

"Speak." Bibi Dong said indifferently. The two-hour meeting had made her a little tired.

"In the city of Suotuo where I am stationed, there was an extremely monstrous genius who appeared recently. He claims to be a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Sword Douluo." The middle-aged man bowed his head and spoke respectfully.

"Oh? A disciple of the Sword Douluo?"

This information did spark some interest in the bored Bibi Dong.

She knew of the Sword Douluo. He is one of the two Title Douluo of the Upper Three Sects' Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the strongest sword-wielding Title Douluo on the continent, known as the top attacker and called the Swordmaster.

His strength is among the top few among the Title Douluo of the Martial Soul Hall. This shows how powerful he is.

As for his disciple? Does he even have a disciple? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has spies from the Martial Soul Hall, but Bibi Dong had never heard of this Sword Douluo having a disciple.

"Heh, an extremely monstrous genius? How monstrous? Tell me more." Bibi Dong smiled faintly, with a hint of disdain in her smile.

What can compare to the Golden Generation of my Martial Soul Hall when it comes to monstrosity?

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong couldn't help but look at the girl sitting at her lower left seat. The disciple she took in has impeccable martial soul and aptitude. At such a young age, she already possesses such strength. When Bibi Dong was at the same age as her disciple, she hadn't reached such a high level of soul power.

"This person is named Zeng Yi, with an equipment martial soul. His martial soul is a very powerful long sword. He is fifteen years old, a Spirit Elder with a soul power level of thirty-five." 

"Wait."

Bibi Dong interrupted the middle-aged man before he could finish speaking.

"Fifteen years old? Thirty-five level of soul power? Is this what you call monstrous?" Bibi Dong looked down at her subordinate and asked indifferently. Then she looked at the girl next to her, her disciple, and asked, "Nana, tell us what your soul power level was when you were fifteen."

This girl named Nana replied with an arrogant look, "Your Holiness, when I was fifteen, my soul power was already at level thirty-nine."

Although Bibi Dong is her teacher, in this kind of setting, she still called her teacher "Your Holiness" to show respect. Privately, she would call her teacher "teacher."

Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction and looked at the subordinate again, lightly saying, "If this Sword Douluo's disciple is an extremely monstrous genius, then how should we address our Holy Maiden?"

Geniuses are not foreign to the Martial Soul Hall. People who have reached Spirit Saint level at fifteen may not be numerous, but they are not few, and there are even talents who can fight beyond their level and defeat Spirit Hall. 

And her disciple, Hu Liena, is one of them and the youngest among them, with the strongest talent.

Bibi Dong's voice was very soft but seemed to carry endless pressure, making the subordinate's body uncontrollably shake, his forehead covered in cold sweat. He is a Soul Douluo, yet with just a word from the Pope, he can be oppressed like this.

"U-understood, I haven't finished speaking yet," the middle-aged man said with a trembling voice.

"Oh, then continue. If you dare to waste my time, go directly to the Hall of Punishment and accept your punishment."

Hearing the Hall of Punishment, the man's face turned even paler. He never wanted to step foot in that place in his life.

"Yes... Yes," he hastily replied.

"Although this Zeng Yi has a soul power level of only thirty-five, his strength is extremely powerful. He is proficient in both knives and swords. In the Suotuo Soul Arena, he easily kills opponents at the same level with just a few moves. When participating in two-versus-two battles, he single-handedly crushes two Spirit Saints at the same level. He is known as invincible at the same level."

"Invincible at the same level? Quite boastful."

Hearing this, the holy maiden Hu Liena sneered. As a disciple of the Sword Douluo, winning against soul masters with no foundation to speak of isn't worthy of boasting. She can do the same.

To claim invincibility at the same level with just that, it's really arrogant!

"Continue." Bibi Dong said casually. She was interested in what this subordinate had to say, but it wasn't enough. It didn't reach the level of being monstrous.

"Because this Zeng Yi is a genius of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I wanted to kill him, so I sent a team consisting of three high-level Soul Elders, two Soul Ancestors, and one Soul King to besiege and kill him, but..."

"But he single-handedly killed them all."
