Watching their bewilderment, Zang Xin shook his head with a mix of frustration and disappointment...
In the end, he uttered four words from his mouth, "Abyssal Plane!!"
At this moment, Guo Xiaoxu and Liang Xiaoyu felt as if a sudden enlightenment had been poured into them, and they understood everything in an instant!!
They had considered only the Soul Land, forgetting that there was such a place as the Abyssal Plane!!
...
Outside the Pope Hall!
Bi Bidong's purple pupils gazed into the distance...
Suddenly, her thoughts were interrupted by a voice that suddenly rang out...
"Your Holiness the Pope!"
It was none other than Xu Sheng, who had been called here!
Bi Bidong shifted her gaze to Xu Sheng and responded faintly, "Hmm..."
"You have come quicker than I anticipated"
Showing a hint of a smile, Xu Sheng said, "When Her Holiness the Pope summons me personally, I naturally take it seriously!"
A flicker of peculiarity shone in Bi Bidong's purple eyes as she tightened her grip on the Purple Crystal Scepter and gently tapped it on the ground, "Do you not intend to change how you address me? After all, you are now my direct disciple!"
Seeing this, Xu Sheng said quite seriously, "Even if the title changes, in the eyes of Your Holiness the Pope, there is probably only one disciple, and that is Hulena, right?"
He couldn't gain trust himself!
Regarding this issue, Bi Bidong didn't find it difficult to admit, she pursed her lips and said, "That's right, the disciple I recognize is only Hulena!"
"However, as long as you are willing to remain obediently at the Spirit Pagoda, you can still be nurtured"
Xu Sheng responded with a fist and palm salute, "Is that so? Then, I thank Your Holiness the Pope!"
Nurture?
He was already a Titled Douluo level powerhouse, and his future cultivation could depend on no one else!!
Therefore, so-called nurturing was merely to receive the protection of the Spirit Hall!!
Bi Bidong did not wish to discuss this topic further and said again, "Alright, let's not talk about these matters for the moment. Ghost Charm and Yue Guan have already informed you of the situation, haven't they? In the past few days, some power has been secretly probing your identity!!"
Xu Sheng chose to answer honestly, "Yes, Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo have already informed me, and I have some clues about this power!"
Bi Bidong expressed surprise, "Oh??"
Even she had only learned which power it was after ordering the Spirit Hall soldiers to investigate!
The former could actually guess!
Xu Sheng spoke again, "Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"
"The reason I could guess is that during the soul fighting arena, I defeated a student from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy named Yu Tianheng!"
"His Martial Soul is the rare Blue Electric Overlord Dragon, which must have a high status within the academy!"
Bi Bidong's pupils narrowed, then became extremely cold...
"Why didn't you kill this Yu Tianheng??"
If Yu Tianheng possessed the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Martial Soul, that meant he was from the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan...
At the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he must have been among the elite students!
Killing him would be akin to removing a troublesome individual!!
Casually, Xu Sheng said, "In the battle with me, he had already lost his fighting spirit, so I couldn't bring myself to do it."
"Besides, he and I are not mortal enemies."
He wondered if Yu Tianheng had overcome his psychological shadow yet...
If he was still downcast and self-pitying, his future would be extremely difficult!
Even staying forever at the 2nd Ring was not impossible!
Bi Bidong was clearly not satisfied with such an answer...
She said coldly with disdain, "Humph, the compassion of a woman!"
If it had been her, as long as she found a suitable opportunity, she would have eliminated all the obstructing individuals without hesitation, leaving not a single one behind!
Knowing full well what he was doing, Xu Sheng asked, "Your Holiness, it seems you have some animosity toward Heaven Dou Royal Academy, is it because of the Continental Elite Soul Master competition?"
"If that's the case, I think it's completely unnecessary, as he cannot interfere with the final outcome!"
Yu Tianheng is very talented, but compared to Flame and the others, he's still quite inferior!
Bi Bidong stated coldly, "No, as for the Continental Elite Soul Master competition, I'm confident that Hulena and the others will surely win!"
It was merely winning the competition—she didn't consider Heaven Dou Royal Academy a threat at all!
Xu Sheng pressed further, "Then why..."
Bi Bidong's gaze suddenly changed, warning, "Xu Sheng, this is not for you to know!"
More than Heaven Dou Royal Academy, it was the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan that she disliked even more!!
And that person!!
Seeing that his aim to provoke the other had succeeded, Xu Sheng said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Your Holiness, I meant no disrespect!"
Bi Bidong's mood eased slightly, and she gestured dismissively, "You may leave! I will handle the matter concerning Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Xu Sheng let out a sigh, "Yes, Your Holiness, I actually had some information about abyssal creatures to share with you."
He turned to leave, but Bi Bidong couldn't help but stop him, "Wait..."
Xu Sheng, with his back turned, curled his lips into a small smile, yet asked doubtfully, "Is there something else you need, Your Holiness?"
Bi Bidong frowned, "You just mentioned... you know other things about abyssal creatures?"
Without hesitation, Xu Sheng affirmed, "That's right, in the whole human world, probably no one knows more about them than I do!"
This statement only deepened Bi Bidong's doubts...
Spirit Hall, despite its long history, had no records of abyssal creatures!
He was just a child under ten, so why would he know such things??
However, if she asked proactively, she was certain not to get a truthful answer!
With that thought, she took a deep breath, "Let's hear it. If the information is sufficient, Martial Soul Hall could track down abyssal creatures much faster!"
Xu Sheng nodded and began to share his idea...
"Among those abyssal creatures, there's actually a leader, which wields a super divine weapon called Heaven Saint Crack Abyssal Halberd that speeds up its own cultivation!!"
Bi Bidong went pale with shock, "A super divine weapon!!"
Even the gods depicted in records used divine artifacts!
And that Abyssal Emperor was using a super divine weapon!!
Although unsure how powerful it was, it was certainly beyond any divine artifact!
If she could get her hands on it, perhaps, she would have no fear of those in the Worship Hall!!
Thinking this, a rare glint of greed flashed in Bi Bidong's eyes...
Xu Sheng, having noticed her inner thoughts, added, "Your Holiness, if you could obtain this super divine weapon, your strength would be substantially enhanced!"
Bi Bidong snapped back to reality, her expression returning to calm, "Who else have you told about this?"
If such a super divine weapon truly existed, it absolutely couldn't fall into anyone else's hands!!
Xu Sheng met her gaze squarely and said word by word, "Only you, no one else!"
A terrifying gleam surfaced in Bi Bidong's eyes, "Good, I will have the Spirit Hall personnel expand the search area, and surely we'll be able to obtain information about abyssal creatures in a short time."
