Chapter 2806: Contradiction_1
The next day!
In the academy, Xu Sheng glanced over the members of the Golden Generation of Soul Masters and noticed that Flame was nowhere to be seen...
Lena, who was beside him, asked curiously, "Xu Sheng, what are you looking at?"
Xu Sheng casually replied, "Nothing much, just that I haven't seen Flame. I hope he's not injured?"
Upon hearing this, Lena explained, "Don't worry, Flame is fine. However, that elder from the Worship Hall really has a ruthless hand!"
Evil Moon abruptly interjected, "Actually, they went easy on him. Just needs to lie down for a few days to heal. If a Super Douluo really harbored killing intent, merely with their aura, Flame would probably be dead!"
That guy was blunt and outspoken—he just knew that one day, sooner or later, he would get into trouble!
He hadn't expected it to happen so soon, but luckily, it wasn't anything serious!
But in the next second, his mind raced to another thought, and he asked with puzzlement, "By the way, Xu Sheng, who exactly is that guy? How is he able to instill such wariness in the Ghost Douluo predecessor!"
He had seen it clearly at the time—if the Serpent Spear Douluo hadn't stepped in, Gui Mei wouldn't have wanted to provoke the other party at all!
Xu Sheng didn't intend to conceal the truth, "That guy is the Serpent Spear Douluo from the Worship Hall, his soul power rank is probably one or two levels higher than Ghost Douluo's!"
Evil Moon furrowed his brows, "Just one or two levels higher? There's no need for Ghost Douluo to be so wary, right?"
They were both Super Douluo after all; the strength difference shouldn't be that great!
Who knew, Lena rolled her eyes and reminded, "Brother, have you forgotten what teacher said? The difference in strength between Super Douluo at each level is immense!"
"Of course, the reason Ghost Douluo hesitated was probably because he didn't want to start a fight in the Pope Hall!"
Evil Moon's cheeks turned the color of a pig's liver, and he scratched his head awkwardly, "Is... is that so? Ha... haha."
He had forgotten about that!
Lena looked at him, sighing...
Then she turned her gaze back to Xu Sheng, "Xu Sheng, the Serpent Spear Douluo seemed to have come specifically for you. What did you two talk about after we left??"
"If it's something you can't speak of, then never mind!"
Xu Sheng pursed his lips, "It's not that it can't be said, it's just..."
But before he could finish, he was interrupted...
"It seems you all get along very well,"
The newcomer was none other than Pope Bibi Dong!
At the sight of her, all members of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation stopped their cultivation, stood up, and respectfully said, "Your Holiness, Teacher!"
Bibi Dong nodded slightly, a faint smile on her lips, and said to Xu Sheng, "Xu Sheng, you should have been training here for a few days. How do you feel?"
Xu Sheng replied calmly, "Thanks to Your Holiness, I've adapted."
"Not only that, after training in the soul fighting arena, my combat experience has greatly increased!"
Ever since Bibi Dong voluntarily left the previous day, he had anticipated that she would come looking for him today!
Upon hearing his words, Bibi Dong gave him a look of approval, "Good, adaptation is key!"
Lena and Evil Moon exchanged glances, clearly a bit confused...
Why was Her Holiness paying so much attention to Xu Sheng, even ignoring them...
But they quickly came to terms with it; after all, with Innate Level Ninety Spirit Power, it was only natural that he would receive more attention!
After a pause, Bibi Dong spoke again, "Do you have time now? I have some matters I'd like to discuss with you!"
Xu Sheng naturally did not refuse her invitation, "If Your Holiness says so, naturally, I have no reason to refuse!"
Moreover, even if I refused, Bi Bidong definitely would not have agreed!
Upon seeing this, Hulena couldn't help but speak up, "Um, teacher, we..."
Who would have thought, Bi Bidong just glanced at them and dismissively said, "This has nothing to do with you, continue your cultivation."
Hulena couldn't help but lower her head, "Yes, teacher, we will practice hard and not let you down!"
Bi Bidong nodded, "Hmm, after all, you are the future goddess of Martial Soul Hall. You must replace me in the future, you cannot slack off in your cultivation!"
"Let's go, Xu Sheng!"
...
Upon arriving in the grand hall of Pope Hall, Bi Bidong sat back on her Pope's chair, and her expression visibly changed...
Her tone slightly cold, she said, "Xu Sheng, with your intelligence, you should know why I called you here, right?"
Xu Sheng let out a light laugh, "Your Holiness is jesting. If you didn't ask, I would not know where to begin!"
This understanding response eased Bi Bidong's mood a bit...
Without hesitation, she inquired, "Alright, then I'll ask you, why did the Serpent Spear Douluo from the Worship Hall specifically come to find you? To my knowledge, you shouldn't have any connection with him, right?"
Xu Sheng's dark eyes flickered, answering with a counter-question, "Your Holiness, could it be you have forgotten that I was previously always in the Tiandou Empire Palace?"
Bi Bidong stroked her chin, thoughtfully saying, "You mean to say, the Serpent Spear Douluo initiated contact with you after discovering you in the Tiandou Empire Palace?"
Xu Sheng nodded to confirm, "Exactly, however, it was not the Serpent Spear Douluo who took the initiative to contact me, but rather I inadvertently discovered the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe's true identity!"
Bi Bidong suddenly realized, "So, that means the Serpent Spear Douluo, no, the entire Worship Hall is aware of your Innate Soul Power Ninety Level?"
Such an explanation could account for why Qian Dao Liu pressured her to cancel the manhunt for Xu Sheng!
Xu Sheng echoed, "As expected of Your Holiness, the situation is exactly as you described!"
The information he provided was almost half-true, half-false!
Without directly inquiring from the people of the Worship Hall, it was basically impossible to discern the truth!
Bi Bidong's purple pupils narrowed slightly, she thought to herself, "If that's the case, this could be somewhat troublesome!"
She had been considering bringing Xu Sheng under her command, and Qian Dao Liu must have had the same idea!
Perhaps, it was time to make overtures!
Provided, of course, that Xu Sheng was not deceiving her with his previous words!!
Thinking this, her entire demeanor became serious, "Xu Sheng, what exactly do you know about Martial Soul Hall?"
Xu Sheng instantly guessed her implication and calmly said, "Your Holiness, that question puts me in a difficult position. I have always been in the Tiandou Empire Palace, and I know very little about Martial Soul Hall!"
Bi Bidong did not immediately believe him, but watched him intently, trying to see something on his face...
However, she was disappointed. There were absolutely no flaws to be seen on Xu Sheng's face!
After taking a deep breath, she continued, "Is that so? Then you probably also don't know that, although Pope Hall and Worship Hall both belong to Martial Soul Hall, there is quite a bit of friction between them!"
"In the future, this friction will only grow, even to the point of threatening my position as Pope!"
"Therefore, I must prepare early!!"
