Crossing Douluo: Three Gods in One.

Chapter 74 Preparation
The bright sunshine fell on the earth. Under the sunlight, the Pope's Palace looked even more magnificent, like the residence of gods.

In front of the Pope's Palace, two rows of knights guarding the palace were lined up from the front of the Pope's Palace to the bottom of the mountain. Their bright silver armors and thick knight swords made the entire Pope's Mountain more majestic.

The eliminated teams had all left and were not even allowed to watch the final day's battle. Only the truly young and powerful are qualified to set foot on the square in front of the Pope's Palace.

Early in the morning, the three teams that entered the finals had already appeared in front of the Pope's Palace and were waiting quietly.

Teachers from the three major colleges were not allowed to stand in the square and could only wait outside.

A total of fifteen players participating in the finals stood quietly in the square, waiting for the final moment to come.

The Wuhundian Academy team headed by Xie Yue had the most relaxed expressions, but what shone in their eyes was the light of faith. Faith in Wuhun Palace and faith in the Pope.

Shrek Academy maintained the most low-key attitude, with seven people lined up in a row, from left to right were Dai Mubai, Tang San, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

The last one is Dugu Qiubai. He can occasionally see Tang San and the others and will turn around to take a look, but there is no communication.

As the distance got closer, Zhang Tong could see the gate of the Pope's Palace only a few steps away.

The golden gate is at least ten meters high, grand and spectacular, and is also engraved with six different special patterns, symbolizing several titled Douluo.

The semi-elliptical arched door seems to contain a sacred gathering. I wonder how brilliant it will be when it opens.
At this time, a bell rang.

Twelve cardinals walked to both sides of the gate, like the garrison in front of an ancient emperor.

As their status is lower than that of the Platinum Bishop, they are only qualified to serve as garrisons here.

'It's really high quality.'

Zhang Tong's eyes did not shift, he looked at the gate calmly.

I only heard one of the cardinals at the front shout in a clear voice:

"His Majesty the Pope has arrived!"

This voice seemed to be able to be heard throughout the entire Wuhun City.

As the bell rang, countless overwhelming sounds came from the foot of the mountain and Wuhun City.

“Long live, long live, long live.”

Three loud shouts echoed throughout Wuhun City like a landslide and tsunami.

That was not only the voice of the orderly guarding knights on the Pope Mountain, but also the cry of all the soul masters in the entire Wuhun City who were not allowed to approach the Pope Mountain. For them, the Pope is the highest belief!
Everyone's eyes unconsciously focused on the direction where the door was opening. Even the seven members of the Spirit Hall Academy team had their heartbeats quickening.

All of this symbolizes that His Holiness the Pope is about to appear, which is why it has caused such a loud voice, even more exciting than the cheers that Zhang Tong saw at the opening ceremony of the 08 Olympic Games in his previous life.

In this kind of environment, even people who are not from Wuhun Palace will feel a sense of solemnity and respect.

And until the door opened, the shouting seemed to reach a climax!
Zhang Tong also saw the person coming.

From the moment the door opened, it was as if tens of thousands of spotlights shone from inside, and four golden figures and another figure walked out.

After a while, when the group had completely walked out, we could see clearly.

The leader was Pope Bibi Dong.

The papal robe she wore was specially made, with a golden base and three kinds of gemstones: red, blue and gold. It was full of brilliance and nobility.

The purple-gold crown on his head exudes supreme majesty.

Zhang Tong took a look and then looked away. Although Pope Bibi Dong was the same age as Yu Xiaogang, you couldn't tell the difference at all. She was beautiful, but she was more majestic.

This reminded Zhang Tong of Wu Zetian in his previous life. With such status and power, it was enough to make people forget her beauty.

I was only overwhelmed by her majesty and demeanor.

The three people following beside him were also wearing golden robes, and a huge angular gem was inlaid on their chests, symbolizing the status of Titled Douluo.

Naturally, only Titled Douluo are qualified to wear this kind of dress, namely Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Sword Douluo.

Although Sword Douluo is a member of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, he is also an honorary elder of the Wuhun Hall. He usually does not participate in the affairs of the Wuhun Hall and only acts in name.

The other two Titled Douluo were not wearing masks, unlike when they attacked them.

Ju Douluo looks a bit feminine, with very fair and tender skin, and he maintains his skin better than any other girl.

Although Ghost Douluo was wearing a golden dress, his face was shrouded in a mist, as if it was blurred, making it impossible to see what he looked like.

The last person is Ning Fengzhi. He is not a Titled Douluo, but his status is there, so he is naturally qualified to follow the Pope.

After Bibi Dong and the other four came out, all the Spirit Hall people present knelt on one knee to show their respect.

However, Tang San and his companions did not kneel down.

Of course Zhang Tong did not kneel down. In theory, in such a place, this would be disrespectful, but there was no rule that required kneeling.

Just like people from the Star Luo Empire, when they meet the emperor of the Tiandou Empire, they are not subject to the control of the Tiandou Empire, so naturally they don't need to kneel down.

To quote a line from “Justice, My Foot”: You actually used the sword of the previous dynasty to kill the officials of this dynasty?

It's irrelevant. Why are you kneeling?
Seeing this, the cardinal behind him looked angry and was about to get angry.

But Bibi Dong waved her hand to stop her.

Her eyes first swept over the Shrek Seven, and then quickly fell on Tang San.

Tang San is Yu Xiaogang's disciple. Bibi Dong knows this very well, so she naturally figures out who Tang San is at the first moment.

Although she was just examining him, there was a special majesty in her eyes. The seven people did not dare to look at her. Only when the purple light in Tang San's eyes was activated did he dare to look Bibi Dong in the eye.

Zhang Tong watched all this quietly. Bibi Dong was almost fifty years old and had rich experience. She had been in charge of the Spirit Hall for so many years. Her power was unleashed without anger. Coupled with her hidden strength as a Titled Douluo, not to mention the Soul Masters at level forty or above, even the Soul Emperors at level sixty or above did not dare to look her in the eye.

Zhang Tong sometimes wondered, Yu Xiaogang’s identity was so different from Bibi Dong’s, how did they fall in love back then?
To put it bluntly, Yu Xiaogang is just a useless guy. What on earth does Bibi Dong like about him?

Bibi Dong looked at Tang San for a while, her eyes showed no change, she just nodded slightly, her calm voice showed no trace of time, only mellow and majestic:

"You are better than your teacher. That's right. Compared with your teacher back then, you are not inferior to him."

Upon hearing this, many people were extremely surprised, even the people from the Spirit Hall were the same.

After all, there were almost no people present who knew the relationship between Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang.

Except Zhang Tong.

Tang San just answered in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:

"Your Holiness, thank you for your praise. There is still a big gap between me and the teacher."

Although it is a self-effacing statement, many people obviously do not think so.

Bibi Dong didn't say anything more. She looked among the Shrek people and didn't look at them any more!
Bibi Dong's eyes suddenly turned to a figure in another location.

He was wearing a black robe and a mask, looking like a lone traveler walking in the shadows, mysterious and lonely.

"You are so brave. Why don't you take off your mask when you meet His Holiness the Pope?"

One cardinal shouted angrily:
"This place is so sacred, how can we allow you to be so sneaky?"

Instantly, all eyes were focused on this figure.

Dugu Qiubai!

Long Aotian, who was standing outside the square, frowned slightly but did not speak.

The few people from the Spirit Hall team, or the three from the Golden Generation, were all staring at Dugu Qiubai.

In the minds of the three of them, based on the analysis of many teachers and strong men in the Spirit Hall in the previous four days, they have already listed Dugu Qiubai as their biggest enemy.

It is conceivable how curious and concerned the three of them are about this Dugu Qiubai.

Bibi Dong also looked at Dugu Qiubai.

The mask only covered his appearance, but there was no mistake in his eyes. Compared with the purple light flashing in Tang San's eyes before, the eyes of Dugu Qiubai were unusually calm, like a deep pool. He looked into her eyes, but there was no fluctuation at all.

This surprised Bibi Dong a little.

At this time, Zhang Tong spoke slowly in a hoarse voice:

"I am too ugly. If I take off the mask, I am afraid that His Holiness the Pope will be frightened. Although His Holiness has a sharp gaze, he does not care about a person's appearance. But if you let me take it off suddenly, what if I scare His Holiness the Pope? Wouldn't you be committing a heinous crime?"

Hearing this, the whole place fell into silence.

The cardinal was refuted so badly that he couldn't say a word. His face turned red as he pointed at Dugu Qiubai!

"Pfft!"

Hu Liena, a member of the golden generation, laughed softly and blinked.

"This Dugu Qiubai is really brave!"

Xie Yue and Yan did not say anything, but just looked at Zhang Tong seriously!
"Go back!"

Bibi Dong glanced at the cardinal and said slowly:
"This is his personal privacy. There is no rule in the competition that prohibits wearing masks, and our Spirit Hall does not have any rules that force everyone to show their front face."

Ghost Douluo is a good example, although their identities and strengths are not comparable.

After saying that, Bibi Dong didn't look any further, but walked to the high platform in the square and gave a brief speech.
