126: I've wanted to punch him for a long time

Half a month later.

Spirit City.

Bibi Dong sat on the Supreme Pontiff's throne, her charming phoenix eyes half-squinted as she inspected the envelope in her hand.

Chrysanthemum Douluo stood below, his expression somewhat nervous.

He had recorded everything from the time Su Wen left Spirit Hall.

He had documented it all.

Slapping Yu Xiaogang away.

Crippling Yu Tianheng.

The conflict with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

The duel with Qian Renxue.

Finally, Qian Renxue being beaten—Chrysanthemum Douluo had struggled internally for a long time before deciding to report this.

After all, if the High Priest came to cause trouble for Su Wen and Bibi Dong was unaware, Chrysanthemum Douluo would certainly be exposed.

A letter arrived every day; today was the final one, stating Su Wen was about to arrive in Spirit City.

"Where is he now?"

Bibi Dong set down the items in her hand and asked unhurriedly.

"He's almost at Spirit City. He should reach the Supreme Pontiff Palace in about an hour!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo replied respectfully.

The great hall fell into silence, leaving only the sound of Bibi Dong's fingers lightly tapping the armrest.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's mood grew nervous along with the sound.

"Does Xiao Wen know her identity?"

Bibi Dong suddenly spoke.

Chrysanthemum Douluo hurriedly replied, "We haven't told the Saint, but the Young Lord's Seraphim was seen by him. The Saint should be able to guess that the Young Lord is related to the High Priest, but as for other matters, he certainly doesn't know."

Bibi Dong exhaled a soft breath and waved her hand. Chrysanthemum Douluo felt a sense of relief, but as he turned to leave, Bibi Dong's warning rang in his ears again:

"If Xiao Wen finds out that woman's identity, you can stop being an Elder!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo's steps paused, and a drop of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

"Understood!"

One hour later.

Su Wen and Tian Yue stepped into Spirit Hall. Su Wen warned her very seriously:

"Remember, you're the one who insisted on coming out, I didn't force you. If the Second Consecrator comes to give me trouble, I won't take you with me next time."

"Got it, Boss!"

Tian Yue gave her assurance.

After bidding farewell to Tian Yue, he led Ye Yuaner toward the Supreme Pontiff Palace.

The main gates of the Supreme Pontiff Palace were wide open at this moment.

Bibi Dong, seated upon the Supreme Pontiff's throne, slightly opened her eyes and watched Su Wen and Ye Yuaner approach, her face devoid of any extra expression.

Spirit Kite Douluo briefly reported some matters; after all, as an Elder, she had to truthfully report the situation regarding the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is meddling in other people's business again, huh. If those fellows in the Hall of Worship didn't refuse to follow orders and only cared about Cultivating, I would have wiped them out long ago."

Substantial killing intent surfaced in Bibi Dong's eyes before vanishing in an instant. "Spirit Kite, you may leave. I will make a decision on this matter."

Spirit Kite Douluo nodded slightly. Just as she left, Bibi Dong's vermillion lips parted slightly: "My dear eldest disciple, why have you remained silent after only greeting me? Don't you have anything to explain?"

"Master, which matter are you referring to?" Su Wen approached with a grin.

He came behind Bibi Dong and placed his hands on her fragrant shoulders.

Bibi Dong didn't resist, her tone merely carrying a hint of a smile that wasn't quite a smile. "Heh, it seems there are quite a few things!"

"Hehe, I knew I couldn't hide it from Master!"

Su Wen didn't know how much Bibi Dong knew, so he skipped over Xiao Wu and tentatively brought up Yu Xiaogang.

"I met a fraud in Nuoding City. He wrote that 'Ten Core Spirit Theories' and even calls himself some kind of Great Master. I couldn't stand it, so I slapped him."

Su Wen watched Bibi Dong's expression from the side. The latter's gaze shifted slightly. "You... why do you say he's a fraud?"

"It's simple, Master. It seems you showed me that book before."

"Just pick any point. For example, the age limit for the first spirit ring being 423 years—are his eyes really that divine? If he wrote 420 years, I'd accept it, but he just had to add an extra three years. Being so precise, even a Titled Douluo can't see as accurately as him."

"Spirit Hall's records don't have such specific one or two-year increments, but there is a record of 420 years. I suspect he plagiarized us and then added 3 years to make it look unique and deny the plagiarism."

"Of course, that's not the key point. The key is that he completely failed to consider the physical differences between Battle Soul Masters, Support Spirit Masters, and Healing Soul Masters. Not everyone can absorb a limit spirit ring."

"I've wanted to slap him for a long time!"

Su Wen spoke with righteous indignation, but his eyes were constantly observing Bibi Dong.

To Su Wen's surprise, Bibi Dong skipped over this topic entirely.

"Is there anything else?"

Su Wen said, "On the way back, I also encountered a Seraphim Martial Soul. Master, do you know her identity?"

"I don't... but she should be related to the High Priest."

Bibi Dong denied it so coldly, her tone devoid of much emotion. Su Wen was silent for a moment; it seemed their relationship was even worse than he imagined.

"Master, take a look at this. It might be helpful to you."

Su Wen pulled out a book.

Bibi Dong took it curiously, and when her beautiful eyes scanned the content, surprise appeared on her face.

"A Spirit Master condenses their own Soul Power into a vortex, compressing liquid into a solid state, and stores it in the Dantian."

"Through its continuous rotation and by absorbing external Soul Power, the Spirit Master uses..."

The more Bibi Dong read, the more amazed she became. This thing seemed specifically designed for Titled Douluos.

Su Wen saw that Bibi Dong's expression was very satisfied.

Over the past half month, Bi Ji and Ye Yuaner had already summarized the general situation of the Spirit Core.

He gave it to Bibi Dong mainly because he was about to become a Spirit King.

A trip to the Star Dou Great Forest was unavoidable. A change in Bibi Dong's situation might make the Rakshasa God take notice and the Silver Dragon King have some reservations.

Su Wen couldn't do things without certainty. If he went to the Star Dou Great Forest blindly, even if the other party had no ill intent, he would be led by the nose. Therefore, it was necessary for Bibi Dong to become stronger.

Besides Bibi Dong, Su Wen also considered the Ice and Fire Dragon Kingss inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, wondering if he could make a trip there before heading to the Star Dou Great Forest.

"This is truly a good thing!"

Bibi Dong looked at it for a long time, not missing a single word. The Spirit Core wasn't just useful for Titled Douluos.

It would be helpful for Peak Douluos and even Limit Douluos.

"Xiao Wen, where did you get this?"

"Bi Ji gave it to me."

Su Wen explained for a bit, and Bibi Dong nodded gently. "I didn't expect Vicious Beasts to have such a thing. Although the Cultivation method is different from humans, as long as I study it, I can soon organize a Spirit Core method that belongs to us. Xiao Wen, tell me, what reward do you want? This is a great contribution; even the High Priest would be tempted if he saw it."

"Forget about the reward, as long as Master needs it."

Su Wen said cockily.

Bibi Dong was overjoyed, her eyes unable to hide her smile, and the mood she had to scold him was suppressed.

However, thinking about how Xiao Wen and Spirit Kite Douluo were often together...

A hint of irritation still lingered between her brows.

She grabbed Su Wen's hand, which was acting up on her shoulder, and pulled him in front of her.

Bibi Dong leaned down and, under Su Wen's confused gaze, unfastened his belt.
