Douluo Continent: The creation of Jixia Academy made Bibi Dong drool with envy.

Chapter 83 Zhuge Liang + Sima Yi VS Bibi Dong!
On the arena, soul power surged, and light and shadow intertwined.

The internal battle between the Jixia Kings Team and the Jixia Valiant Team was far more intense than any previous qualifying match!
Both teams showcased the results of their training over the past period, as well as the tactics and teamwork they had learned under the guidance of their respective mentors.

On the King's team, Jing's spatial power appeared and disappeared unpredictably, each flash carrying a deadly threat. She engaged in a fierce battle of control and counter-control with Dugu Yan, the captain of the Xiaochu team.

Although Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorus Serpent Venom was strange and domineering, it was difficult for her to gain much advantage in the face of Jing's almost unsolvable mirror image and displacement.

Hua Mulan, like an invincible Valkyrie on the battlefield, wielded a heavy sword with the power to split mountains and shatter rocks with every strike. She fought fiercely against Xuan Mo, the defensive core of the Xiao Chu team, and two equally fearless offensive Soul Masters.

Although Xuanmo's Xuan Turtle Armor provided amazing defense, it was still forced to retreat steadily under the immense pressure of Hua Mulan's heavy sword, which perfectly combined skill and strength.

Dongfang Yao and Pei Qinhu, like two unsheathed swords, launched the fiercest attack on the Xiaochu team's formation from the left and right flanks respectively.

Dongfang Yao's Star Sword Technique is agile and graceful, yet it conceals deadly intent.

Pei Qinhu switched seamlessly between his human and tiger forms, unleashing a wild offensive like a tiger descending the mountain. They engaged in a fierce battle with the agile attackers and support soul masters of the Xiaochu team.

Gongsun Li's paper umbrella drew graceful arcs in the air, each spin carrying a deadly edge, precisely suppressing the long-range firepower of the Xiaochu team.

Ji Xiaoman, like an assassin blending into the shadows, lurked on the edge of the battlefield, searching for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

Cai Wenji's zither music is like a lifeline on the battlefield, constantly providing healing and buffs to her teammates, making the King's team's endurance reach a terrifying level.

Despite knowing the disparity in strength between the two teams, the members of the Jixia Xiaochu team did not back down in the slightest when faced with such a powerful team.

Under Sima Yi's hellish training, their will had long been tempered to be as tough as steel.

Their teamwork was also superb.

Dugu Yan calmly and collectedly directed the team, using her Azure Phosphorus Serpent Venom and control soul skills to constantly create trouble for the King's Team!
Xuanmo took his ability to take a beating to the extreme.

He was repeatedly blasted away by Mulan's heavy sword, yet he stubbornly stood up again and again.

With its indestructible tortoise shell, it buys its teammates a precious chance to catch their breath.

The offensive, agile, and support Soul Masters of the Xiaochu team all unleashed combat power far exceeding their usual levels in their respective positions.

They were fearless and coordinated perfectly, even causing considerable trouble for the Kings team at one point.

This internal war within the Jixia Academy was fiercely contested and incredibly exciting!
The endless stream of exquisite teamwork, the unbelievable use of soul skills, and the combat awareness and terrifying strength far exceeding those of their peers.

The audience was completely captivated and thoroughly entertained.

This left the other college teams that had also advanced to the finals watching from below the stage... terrified and their scalps tingling.

They had assumed that their academy's team was already a collection of geniuses and possessed considerable strength.

But now, compared to these two monster teams from Jixia Academy…

It's like fireflies trying to outshine the moon; they're utterly helpless.

Sometimes the gap between geniuses is really... bigger than the gap between a human and a dog.

This fierce civil war lasted for nearly half an hour.

Ultimately, the Jixia Kings team, with its superior overall strength and two Soul King-level core members, gradually gained the upper hand thanks to its stronger individual abilities and near-perfect teamwork.

With Jing's Mirror-Shattering Blade striking the exhausted Dugu Yan precisely, and Hua Mulan's Heavy Sword - Earth-Splitting Strike completely blasting the stubbornly resisting Xuan Mo off the stage...

The Jixia Xiaochu team suffered a regrettable defeat.

Although they lost the game, none of the members of the Xiaochu team showed any frustration or resentment on their faces.
They have given it their all and shown their strongest abilities.

Their performance earned them applause from the entire audience and the respect of all the other college teams.

Although this battle was an internal conflict, it made the entire Douluo Continent more clearly aware of the terrifying strength of the Jixia Academy.

...The competition is still in full swing.

But shortly after the end of this spectacular civil war at Jixia Academy.

On the viewing platform, Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall who had always been inscrutable and unsmiling, suddenly... quietly left the scene.

Her departure did not attract much attention.

After all, His Holiness the Pope is extremely busy, so it is only natural that he would leave midway to handle some urgent official business.

However, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, who had been silent in the VIP seats but had been observing everything, raised their eyebrows slightly and a barely perceptible sneer flashed in their eyes when they saw Bibi Dong's departing figure.

"Heh heh, it seems... His Holiness the Pope is getting a little... restless."

Zhuge Liang gently waved his feather fan, his tone full of meaning.

"Hmph, a desperate struggle, like a cornered beast."

Sima Yi's voice was cold and disdainful.

"What kind of trouble can a crazy woman who can't even control her own emotions stir up?"

"That being said, mad dogs... are often the most unreasonable and the most difficult to deal with."

A hint of seriousness flashed in Zhuge Liang's eyes.

"When I saw her leave, the resentment and murderous aura emanating from her body had almost solidified into a tangible form."

I'm afraid... she's going to prepare for that final... killing move.

"A deadly trap?"

A cold glint flashed in Sima Yi's eyes.

"Perfect, let me see what tricks she has up her sleeve."

The two beings, whose intelligence was almost supernatural, had long since seen through Bibi Dong's little secret thoughts.

And things turned out exactly as they expected.

After leaving the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, Bibi Dong did not return to the Papal Palace. Instead, she rode in an inconspicuous carriage, winding her way through many twists and turns.

Finally… we arrived at a forbidden area located deep within Wuhun City, the most sacred and… inviolable place—

Offering Hall?
This is the true core and foundation of the Spirit Hall.

It is also... the place where the most powerful forces in the entire Douluo Continent gather in the open.

She came here only to...see someone.

Someone... who might be able to help her complete that crazy plan.

Worship Hall.

It lacks the opulent splendor of the Papal Palace and the solemn grandeur of the Presbyterian Palace.

Yes, but it is an ancient, weathered silence and oppressive aura, as if it were as old as heaven and earth.

The entire hall is built from an unidentified dark golden boulder, with a simple and grand style, full of traces of time.

Inside the main hall, the light was dim, with only a few ever-burning lamps casting a faint glow that illuminated the several lifelike angel statues, each tens of meters tall, giving them an air of mystery and majesty.
