50: Watch me cleave Mount Hua with my umbrella!

"A Rou!"

As the pink mist drifted out, A Rou appeared just as Bibi Dong landed, instantly activating her second Spirit Ability, Charm.

A Rou's eyes took on a faint pink hue; the moment anyone met her gaze, they would fall into a state of dizziness.

"Second Spirit Ability, Charm!"

Hu Liena used Charm in coordination, cradling a fluffy tail in her arms.

Her voice was raspy yet possessed a unique Charm and allure; even at a young age, a casual movement could make someone instantly lose their focus.

"First Soul Skill, Moon Step!"

A Rou's body dashed forward rapidly, her long, slender legs kicking out as she neared the target; a hit would cause one second of dizziness.

A Rou's Spirit Abilities differed slightly from Xiao Wu's, possibly because one was a Soft Bones Demon Rabbit Empress while the other was a Soft Bones Demon Rabbit.

Bibi Dong parried with her sword, but her movement was slightly delayed; A Rou's foot struck the blade, knocking it aside.

"Swish!"

Strands of Blue Silver vines appeared; before Ah Yin even showed herself, the vines were already frantically Binding Bibi Dong, with many more sealing off all directions around her.

"Watch my umbrella split Mount Hua!"

Su Wen leaped high into the air, gripping the umbrella with both hands and channeling Soul Power into it.

The red umbrella emitted a dark red glow.

Su Wen then smashed it down fiercely toward Bibi Dong's head.

"Buzz!"

Just as the red oiled paper umbrella was about to touch Bibi Dong, a surge of Soul Power erupted from her body.

The vines were all crushed and snapped apart. As the Death Spider Emperor Spirit appeared, Su Wen was also sent flying by the force of the impact. Upon landing, Ah Yin reached out to catch him, and they landed steadily to the side.

Looking at the nine great spirit rings on Bibi Dong, Su Wen was speechless. "Teacher, it's no fun if you do this."

Hu Liena nodded in agreement. "You never used to activate your Spirit."

"Hehe, all is fair in war,"

Bibi Dong gave a contemptuous smile, unconcerned.

But in her heart, she was amazed.

Their coordination was becoming more and more seamless.

Most importantly, Little Wen was an army unto himself.

"Little Wen, Nana, come here!"

Bibi Dong retracted her Spirit and sat down on a nearby chair.

She took out several boxes and placed them on the table.

Su Wen also recalled A Rou, Ah Yin, and Hong Dou, then approached Bibi Dong to ask curiously, "Teacher, what is this?"

"Open them and see!" Bibi Dong revealed a somewhat mysterious smile.

Su Wen picked up a box and opened it; inside was none other than the Whale Glue he often ate.

"I've already ordered the people of the Spirit Hall to search for this item in secret. However, to avoid suspicion, I didn't touch the hundred-year ones; I only had them collect thousand-year and ten-thousand-year ones. This is the result of the past half month."

"I've also had Ghost Leopard Douluo and Ghost Douluo lead an elite team to the ocean to secretly hunt ten-thousand-year whale-type Spirit Beasts. I believe there will be results soon."

Su Wen was somewhat surprised that Bibi Dong had actually launched an operation in secret.

Seeing her smug expression, Su Wen couldn't help but speak up. "Teacher, actually, we don't need that much of this stuff. Eating too much leads to drug resistance. Nana and I have already developed it, so the effects aren't very obvious anymore."

Bibi Dong frowned slightly. "Why didn't you say so last time?"

"You didn't ask, did you?" Seeing that Bibi Dong's expression wasn't great, Su Wen added, "Who would have thought you'd take action in secret!"

Bibi Dong rolled her eyes at him and stood up again.

"Come here, let's have another round."

"Nana, you watch from the side."

...Half an hour later, Bibi Dong left the courtyard feeling refreshed.

Su Wen clutched his rear, grimacing in pain as he watched Bibi Dong's smug, swaying figure walk away.

He was speechless. "That was intentional retaliation!"

"Senior Brother, do you want Nana to rub it for you?"

Hu Liena folded her hands over her chest, her long eyelashes fluttering incessantly. Her beautiful eyes held expectation, heartache, and shyness... Su Wen shook his head and took out a Spirit Bone from his spirit tool.

This was the forty-thousand-year left leg bone Bibi Dong had given him.

The matter with Dugu Bo was settled... The next day!

Su Wen and Hu Liena headed to the Spirit Master Academy, planning to see Dugu Bo after their classes.

At the academy entrance, a young man with red hair was extremely eye-catching.

Seeing Su Wen and Hu Liena, the red-haired youth immediately ran over.

"Nana, Su Wen..."

"I just got back from obtaining a spirit ring today. Su Wen, how about we have another match?"

Yan stood before them, his eyes burning as he stared at Su Wen.

"Yan, if you're bored, go play somewhere else. Senior Brother and I still have classes."

Hu Liena spoke up with some annoyance.

"Nana, I..."

Yan didn't know what to say for a moment. He knew Su Wen's status was somewhat special and he couldn't act like last time, and he didn't dare provoke Hu Liena. He could only watch the two with a flushed face.

"Fine, since you're so confident, I'll have another match with you after the morning classes are over."

Near noon, quite a few people gathered at the Spirit Academy's Soul Dueling Arena.

Many teachers had also come to watch the match.

Yan had Innate Rank Nine power and was a top Genius in the academy, so he naturally received a lot of attention.

Su Wen was also a special existence; his thousand year second ring had made his name known to almost everyone.

It was also a secret that the academy strictly prohibited from being spread outside.

The Spirit Master school had regulations that Spirit Masters could not engage in private duels, but they could resolve things on the Soul Dueling Arena. As long as they didn't use lethal force, it was all within the rules.

Therefore, no one stopped this soul fight.

Yan had been waiting at the Soul Dueling Arena early on, seeing Su Wen and Hu Liena arrive late.

He clenched his fist; today he would show Hu Liena that he, Yan, was also a brilliant Genius.

"Senior Brother, do you want Nana to take your place?"

Hu Liena saw many people around, even Teacher Anya had come.

She was somewhat worried—not that her Senior Brother would lose, but that negative rumors of an upperclassman bullying a lowerclassman would spread.

Su Wen shook his head.

"Yan, Spirit: Flame Lord, Rank 21 Battle Soul Master."

Seeing Su Wen step up, Yan immediately spoke.

"I won't bully you either. As long as you defeat Hong Jing, you win."

"Hong Jing!"

"Hong Jing?"

While Yan was wondering who Hong Jing was, a gust of Yin wind suddenly swept across the field.

Amidst a cloud of red mist, a woman dressed in a wedding gown appeared on the Soul Dueling Arena.

The simple, ancient Chinese-style wedding dress, bright red like blood, was a type of clothing that had never appeared on the Douluo Continent.

The red silk veil on her head covered most of her face; one could only vaguely see her pale skin and blood-red lips.

Claws as black as ink-jade held a mirror.

Her appearance also caused Yin Qi to spread around.

Even the temperature of the Flame Lord could not dispel the Yin Qi.

This was effectively Hong Jing's first public appearance before many Spirit Masters.

The people below all revealed amazed gazes.

Especially the two great spirit rings beneath the Ghost Bride's feet.

One yellow, one purple.

They were exceptionally eye-catching.

"Hiss, it really is a thousand year second ring. Teacher Anya, is this the Su Wen from your class?"

"Yes! The Supreme Pontiff's Disciple."

As for Su Wen's identity, while the students didn't know, the teachers were all well aware.

It was precisely because they knew his identity that those teachers didn't dare to disturb him.

Otherwise, a Spirit Master with a thousand year second ring would have long been locked up and questioned about the secret behind it.

"Isn't this the one from last time..."

Yan looked at the Ghost Bride with a face full of confusion. This Ghost Bride's attire was the same as the one that had defeated him, but her Spirit was completely different.

He thought of something, and his eyes suddenly widened to their limit. "You..."
