64: Bibi Dong faces the past
Bibi Dong heard Dai Mubai's questioning again, and a hint of anger appeared on her face. Otherwise, perhaps her current Martial Soul background couldn't compare to Dai Mubai's, but in terms of understanding the current state of the world and strength, she believed she still had the upper hand over Dai Mubai.
"Beyond this continent of ours, there exists a place called the Sun Moon Continent. Does the Pope know about it?"
Dai Mubai looked at the somewhat angry Bibi Dong and slowly explained the direction to her.
"Sun Moon... Continent?"
At this moment, Bibi Dong began to doubt life a little. After all, the Spirit Hall as a whole had done little exploration overseas.
Even the Spirit Hall's presence in coastal areas was quite relaxed, as Title Douluo level existences rarely appeared in coastal regions. In contrast, the development inland saw many powerful individuals emerge.
However, Bibi Dong couldn't be easily fooled by just a sentence. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she directly asked Dai Mubai why he knew about other continents.
"Then why do you know? At least for now, you have never set foot outside this continent. The Star Luo Empire as a whole has even launched few attacks and occupations of coastal cities."
"Can the Pope find the source of the Martial Soul I possess and everything I have now? Is the Pope's goal to unify the world, or this continent, or... does she want to destroy everything the Spirit Hall has built?"
Dai Mubai spoke bluntly about what Bibi Dong was currently thinking of doing. After all, Bibi Dong at this time was still immersed in the past.
An unstable God successor inheriting the position of Rakshasa God, a God full of hatred, would bring too many uncertain factors.
Dai Mubai wanted Bibi Dong to try and face the depths of her inner self. This matter needed to be taken slowly, but there had to be a beginning.
At this moment, Bibi Dong's eyes were dull. It was as if all her strength had been drained, and she just sat there quietly.
For Bibi Dong, even if Dai Mubai revealed her God Position, he could suppress the Rakshasa God power within her body.
However, in terms of the power she possessed, she could accept an unknown God, but everything Dai Mubai had just implied...
...was precisely everything Bibi Dong had fundamentally failed to let go of for decades. Otherwise, why would she let bygones be bygones regarding Tang San, who might possess an evil Soul Master Martial Soul?
Wasn't it because of Yu Xiaogang? As for what Bibi Dong's heart truly desired now...
She herself didn't know. After all, after so many years, she thought everything she wanted was clear.
But if it was truly clear, why did everything Bibi Dong do at the end of the original work contradict her actions?
At least Dai Mubai knew that someone who truly wanted to unify the world or was determined to destroy everything wouldn't be like this.
Her reaction at the end showed that Bibi Dong needed salvation. Dai Mubai didn't know if he could accomplish this.
But at least he had to try. If Bibi Dong was truly determined to go her own way, then Dai Mubai wouldn't mind using unconventional methods.
After all, the previous Rakshasa God seemed to be dead. As for the lingering resentment and a God Position, there were plenty of ways to deal with them.
Of course, this was the last resort.
Bibi Dong's eyes were hazy, as if she had fallen into a memory. When she came back to her senses, she had already forgotten the original reason for having Dai Mubai come here.
She just stared intently at Dai Mubai, her eyes filled with killing intent, her body tense. She spoke with a sense of slaughter and questioning, and her aura immediately pressed towards Dai Mubai.
"Why do you know all this? Who exactly are you!"
Seeing this, Dai Mubai felt a little relieved. At least the current Bibi Dong had the intention to face her past.
However, Dai Mubai still activated his Ji Sha Domain to block Bibi Dong's aura back, and then spoke with a somewhat indifferent attitude.
"Before you want to know everything, go and face all of it. If you have a definite goal with a clear answer, we will have a chance to cooperate again. As for whether the Sun Moon Continent exists, you can find the answer by using your connections in the coastal areas. Of course, the next time we meet alone, I hope the Pope can recognize her true inner self, what was your original intention?"
After Dai Mubai finished speaking, he turned and left, seemingly not caring at all whether Bibi Dong behind him would attack him.
Because at the moment, Dai Mubai was confident that with his provocation, Bibi Dong's actions would at least slow down. As for when Bibi Dong would recognize her inner self, Dai Mubai had no answer to that question either.
Bibi Dong heard Dai Mubai's indifferent attitude and was about to flare up, but what Dai Mubai said was the truth.
So Bibi Dong just watched Dai Mubai leave. At this moment, Bibi Dong was also confused.
Bibi Dong remained in her seat in a daze for a long time. After seemingly making some kind of decision, she instructed Chrysanthemum Douluo to send people to investigate the matters concerning the Sun Moon Continent that Dai Mubai had mentioned.
After Bibi Dong finished all this, she slowly returned to her residence. As time passed, Bibi Dong gently bit her lower lip. The strategic look in her eyes was gone, as if she was pondering Dai Mubai's words, or perhaps recalling something...
Meanwhile, the last few matches had begun as scheduled. After fierce competition, only six teams remained on the field.
They were: Shrek Academy Team, Blue Tyrant Academy Team, Spirit Hall Team, Tiandou Royal Academy First Team, and Star Luo Royal Academy First Team.
Of course, the last team was the new Wind God Academy Team. Their path to reaching this stage was naturally the same as in the original work.
Fire Dance and Fire Wushuang joined Wind God Academy. With this boost, the Wind God Academy Team achieved their current results.
The final round of group matches was also set, they were:
Spirit Hall Team versus Tiandou Royal Academy First Team.
Blue Tyrant Academy Team versus the new Wind God Academy Team.
Shrek Academy Team versus Star Luo Royal Academy First Team.
Everyone was satisfied with this draw except for the Tiandou Royal Academy First Team. After all, Tang San didn't want to face these two teams before the finals. Since he was only one step away from becoming a Soul King, he believed he could easily win the championship after advancing to Soul King.
The Spirit Hall Team was also very satisfied, as they wouldn't need to use too much strength against Tiandou Royal Academy.
As for the conflict between Shrek and Star Luo Royal Academy First Team, it was an irreconcilable fated clash.
The next day
"Blue Tyrant Academy versus Wind God Academy, seven members from each side enter the arena!"
As the host's voice fell, the seven members from both teams had arrived before the competition stage.
"Tang San, you might not have such good luck this time!"
The moment Fire Dance saw Tang San, she gritted her teeth in hatred and declared war. After all, in her eyes, Tang San's Martial Soul wasn't like this the first time. If Tang San hadn't used despicable tricks during their match, she wouldn't have lost at all.
Seeing this, Feng Xiaotian immediately echoed the words of his goddess, starting to utter various harsh words targeting Tang San.
However, Tang San, who was standing in front of them at this moment, couldn't even be bothered to look them in the eye.
The current Tang San had undergone enormous changes compared to the beginning. Countless bloodshot lines covered Tang San's original eyes.
His complexion was also increasingly pale, and the aura on his body was becoming more terrifying. All of this was, of course, brought about by devouring vengeful Spirits.
Of course, all of this also brought Tang San a terrifying cultivation speed. Tang San was confident that after today's match, hunting another batch of vengeful Spirits would be enough to advance to Soul King.
Tang San turned around and tried to give Xiao Wu some instructions.
"Xiao Wu, stand behind me later, be careful."
However, Tang San's appearance filled Xiao Wu's eyes with worry. It seemed that ever since her San Ge's Martial Soul mutated, he had become increasingly gloomy. Xiao Wu even felt a deathly aura on Tang San.
But even though Xiao Wu, Titan, and even Liu Erlong had brought all this up, Tang San and Grandmaster both turned a blind eye.
Because of Tang San's current cultivation speed and strength, Yu Xiaogang even knew that Tang San's condition was not right.
He still told the others not to worry, saying this was a normal change in Tang San's Martial Soul.
As the referee announced the start of the match, the fourth Soul Ring beneath Tang San's feet immediately lit up.
Although Wind God Academy had taken precautions, Tang San's Soul Devouring Cage was, after all, an instant cast Soul Skill.
Except for Feng Xiaotian, who quickly rescued Fire Dance and flew into the air, everyone else was trapped within the blood-red Soul Devouring Cage.
Seeing this, Tang San coldly snorted. His fourth Soul Ring lit up again, and the Soul Devouring Spikes Array directly struck the five people who were still trying to break through the Soul Devouring Cage.
After being hit, the fate of the five was predictable. They all fell within ten breaths.
Seeing this, Fire Dance and Feng Xiaotian were willing but powerless. After all, Tang San had used his first Soul Skill, Bind, and countless Soul Devouring Grass entangled the two of them like blood-red venomous snakes.
Fire Dance continuously released Soul Skills to repel the Soul Devouring Grass, but the toughness of the Soul Devouring Grass was now far greater than before.
What's more, the most terrifying thing was the poison of the Soul Devouring Grass. Thus, after the two of them were in a stalemate with Tang San in the air for a few minutes, Feng Xiaotian chose to surrender despite Fire Dance's opposition.
At this moment, the referee also announced that Blue Tyrant Academy had directly advanced to the finals.
"With Tang San like this now, Mu Bai, aren't you afraid you're raising a tiger that will cause trouble later?"
