43 Supreme Pontiff Visits the Academy!
When Tang San's teacher woke up he had to close his eyes for a moment because of extremely bright light.
"Xiao San… why it's so bright?" Yu Xiaogang said as he used his hand to cover his eyes. Eventually, he was able to see what was going on.
He saw that his student's hair has turned to jade and had a sickly yellow undertone to it as well!
"I don't know what you mean teacher. The light is how it always is…" The boy was confused for a bit. Where does this blinding light coming from!?
"...Your hair… what happened to your hair? It's glistering!" The boy's teacher asked while looking in disbelief.
The boy quickly looked for a mirror after he saw it he paled! His hair was green!!! Jade Green! And it was glittering!
"Teacher I have to go! I am going to try to wash it off!" As the boy said that he quickly rushed out of the room leaving the confused teacher behind.
Why is he so panicky about this? Though he was wondering how this happened.
After thinking for a bit he realised that he was back at the academy and… the spider!?
Did Xiao San kill it and absorbed the spirit ring!? So reckless! If it's true then he won't be able to wash the colour off… this is one of the consequences of trying to absorb a ring above the limit! Above the limit, he said so!
'Maybe Xiao San realise that he should better listen to his teacher!'
For a second the old man frowned before returning to his rest.
~~~~~~Bibi Dong~~~~~~
The Supreme Pontiff has finally arrived at Heavenly Dou City. It took her several months of pointless visits, pointless actions of pretending to care about the temples and other things. On purpose, she make it so that she visited Star Luo Empire first.
Only after doing all those visits did she go to Heavenly Dou Empire. Leaving the capital for the last. So that she could spend an extended amount of time here.
"Ah…yes. I can sense it all the way here. The potency of Spirit Energy." The purple-haired woman said that with satisfaction.
"I have heard that Snake Lance already broke through Rank 94. I am quite jealous of his bodyguard duty." Ghost Douluo said from the shadow as he could sense it too.
*Snort*
The Supreme Pontiff snorted hearing that. Even her bodyguards are getting jealous?
"If everything goes well. We might as well get the…Crown Prince to visit our Spirit City." Bibi Dong said with a small smile. It depends on how much of an impression she can make on him.
Through the rumours she has heard, the prince already is doing his version of conquest.
Something she is approves off. Centralising the power to one place was their original goal, Spirit Hall's original goal. That was until Qian Daoliu went soft and decided that his Granddaughter's happiness is more important than Spirit Hall.
Something which she is still annoyed with…
The prince doesn't even know the original plan, yet he is working towards it either way. What a splendid addition to the Spirit Hall he is.
"It would be wonderful. I been stuck at this rank for too many years." The Ghost Douluo said that before disappearing into the shadows.
"Hmm… now let's see the Cathedral and then I can do whatever I want to do~~~" She said that with an almost purring tone which made her other bodyguard gulp down nerviously. The new obsession of the Supreme Pontiff is quite a terrifying thing.
Yue Guan, the Chrysanthemum Douluo is somewhat terrified how the mental state of the Supreme Pontiff is changing.
Never in his life did he expect her to visit every single outpost just to make sure everyone believes she is doing this as part of her duties as the Leader of Spirit Hall.
In truth, it's all about this moment. This moment when she is Heavenly Dou Capital just to see Xue Long…
Honestly, such obsession is terrifying to him.
~~~~~~Heavenly Dou Imperial Academy~~~~~~
"Little Monster you already know that the Supreme Pontiff is in the city?" Dugu Bo said that as he was looking at the chess board in front of him he is thinking about his next move.
"Yes, I know. Xue'er left and went back to the Spirit Hall to see her grandfather when she heard that… according to her, she call her 'this woman'." Xue Long said that as he looked at the board as well. He still trying not to confuse this game with the western style chess since he is playing the Chinese version of it.
"Hmm. That shows that Spirit Hall isn't united as I thought."
The Crown Prince simply shrugged at him. He doesn't care much about that.
"Maybe, maybe not. I don't quite care."
"Hmm, you should be careful though. As your girl said, that woman made Spirit Hall reach heights not seen before."
"You saying that she is here to see me?"
"Most likely course of action. Her behaviour and Spirit Hall's behaviour in general has caught me, and most of other people, off guard." The old Poison said that as he moved his piece forward after careful consideration.
"Hmm… we shall see… I do want to see her." He said with a curious tone.
"Twin Martial souls?"
Xue Long nodded at him. Before thinking about the relationship between her and her daughter, his future wife.
This is one weird family he is building…
"Indeed. Haven't met a spider Martial Spirit before. And she has two, very poisonous and…dark."
"Do try to control yourself, she is nothing like the old Angel." Dugu Bo said that with an amused snort.
The Crown Prince simply rolled his eyes. He can control himself when it's needed. He after all passed the second stage of the meditation. He knows himself better than most.
"It would seem you are close to losing old man." Xue Long said that as he moved his figure forward and claimed the Poison Douluo one.
*Tsk*
~~~
Xue Long was walking through the corridors of the Academy as his senses picked up three powerful people. One of them especially was powerful and…dark.
It was so dark that he was itching to purify that darkness.
'So this is her. It appears that Godling has her claws in her quite deep.'
The moment he arrived at the hall he finally saw the three guests.
'Damn… the similarity between those two…' The Crown Prince thought to himself with a sweat drop. It is hard not to pass one for another.
Qian Renxue looks extremely similar to Bibi Dong, well the opposite! but! they are very similar!!!
"Your Highness. It is an honour to meet you in person." The woman quite sweetly said to him. Her words were almost like sweet poison.
"The honour is mine. I wasn't expected to meet the Supreme Pontiff herself like this."
She smiled for a bit. The intensity she was looking at him sent a few goosebumps down his back.
"Normally I don't do these kinds of visits. But, visiting you in person is a must. Your exploits have made my Spirit Hall quite fascinated. Not to mention the future bond your Empire and my Hall will share." The last part she said with quite a dull tone. She was trying extra hard not to sound angry.
Though, Xue Long knows her and her personality. So it's either directed at her daughter or the old angel.
"I see. Well, we can discuss all that."
The moment she heard that there was a smile on her lips for a bit.
~~~
Bibi Dong's eyes stayed on the Prince for quite a while. Her senses were scanning him over and over again. Xue Long has achieved the same capacity of control as that old angel which is impressive for someone to do that at such young age!
Not only that but she sensed a certain heaviness of spirit energy around him, it's like this energy is extra heavy around him and nowhere else.
"He is dangerous. Very so. For a kid this age… he will be unstoppable before he becomes 20…" Ghost Douluo said to her through a spirit whisper.
His words only excited her to some extent. Can he reach a realm of strength as strong as hers before he is even 20? Now, this is something she wants to see!
"I have heard that you have subdued a 270 thousand-year-old Great Beast and didn't kill it? Why though?" She asked curiously.
"Several reasons. For one… I no longer need to Kill Spirit Beasts anymore."
The Supreme Pontiff's eyes widened as she stopped in her tracks.
"...What do you mean?"
"My eight ring was purely condensed by myself."
Her eyes now twitched when she heard that! What kind of existence is this kid!? He can now condense spirit rings himself!?
"...B-But how? If one does without killing spirit beasts and instead makes himself those kinds of rings are weak and useless!" The woman tried to reason with him. She was grasping straws here!
However… if what he said is true… then… SHE NEEDS HIM MORE THAN EVER BEFORE!
She wouldn't need to waste time killing suitable or not Spirit Beasts she could condense suitable rings herself!
"True. You are right." As he said that his rings manifested and appeared behind him… they were all gold and all emitting terrifying pressure.
"How is this possible… I thought…"
"My ring aged significantly when I condensed a core. My core has elements of Heaven and Earth energies. The density and other factors come into play."
Once again, Bibi Dong realised… it's the same thing… always comes down to the same thing… and it's his meditation techniques.
"I see… it's your meditation techniques…"
"It is. Now let me show you… you wanted to see Zi Ji and you will see her." As he said that the group exited the academy building and started to walk towards the Martial Field.
The pair of Titled Douluo's who followed her slightly gasped when they felt how the density of Spirit energy is constantly magnifying as they are approaching the specific area!
"This place is heaven…" the Ghost Douluo almost said with a teary tone.
Which baffled Bibi Dong. She for a second stopped walking and looked back.
"Nothing… I think I got something in my eyes."
"Old ghost you are wearing a mask…" The Chrysanthemum Douluo said with an eye roll.
"It doesn't mean I am fully protected from dust!"
"Calm yourself you two! Not in front of the prince!" The Supreme Pontiff hissed for a second angrily.
"""Apologies""
"I don't mind. I have seen all sorts of reactions to my martial field. Over here everyone gains something when they cultivate. Uncle Snake and Old Poison broke through recently.
My uncle became more competent in cultivation, and other students constantly are getting better." Xue Long casually said that with a shrug.
"And most importantly… Spirit Beasts and Spirit Rings are ageing in this area."
Bibi Dong slowly nodded…yes she knows all that… this is why… she wants him… not only the benefits he brings…but he is extremely knowledgeable in Martial Spirits, Martial Arts.
He is simply perfect in her eyes. And it's driving her mad to know that he will end up with her disliked daughter!
Internally she wanted to punch herself in the face for wanting to kill him all those years ago!
Eventually, they arrived where the purple-haired woman was relaxing with a golden lion and emerald swan.
"Gods… it truly is a Great Beast." Chrysanthemum Douluo said with wide eyes. He can sense the aura of this being. It's terrifying…
How did this kid beat it in pure melee combat?
"...My prince is there a reason why you brought this woman here?" Zi Ji asked with a frown as she opened her eyes and looked at her.
"Don't worry. She won't going to attack you." Xue Long said with a disarming smile which made Bibi Dong automatically nod.
"The prince is right. I am simply here to confirm his greatest achievement is the real deal." She said that in a way that she rubbed in the Dragoness face.
Making Zi Ji click her tongue. She is going to get back at this annoying Spider-woman!
Why everyone is constantly telling her like this! This is not fair!
