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

Chapter 87 The Mirror Realm Shatters! Hu Liena is blasted away!

silence.

Deathly silence.

When Dongfang Jing, the captain of the Jixia Kings team, used a devastating "Mirror Realm Shattering" attack to forcefully break the last trump card of the Golden Generation—the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Demonic Charm.

And then, Hu Liena and Xie Yue were blasted out of the arena like kites with broken strings, completely securing the victory.

In the central arena of the entire Spirit City, hundreds of thousands of spectators, including fanatical followers of the Spirit Hall and spirit masters and nobles from various kingdoms and duchies, gathered.

Or perhaps it's the ordinary people who are filled with curiosity and awe towards the Jixia Academy...

Everyone seemed to be frozen in place, staring dumbfounded at the seven figures on the arena who were as dazzling as stars, yet exuded a fierce aura that made people dare not look directly at them.
Won? !
The Jixia Kings team... actually won?!

Moreover, even with the Golden Generation possessing three Soul Bones and ultimately unleashing a powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they still won the final victory with an almost overwhelming force.

This...this is simply unbelievable!

After a brief silence, cheers and shouts erupted like a volcanic eruption, sweeping across the entire Soul Arena.

"Jixia! Jixia! Jixia!"

"King! King! King!"

Although the vast majority of the audience were supporters of the Spirit Hall, at this moment they had to offer their sincerest respect and... amazement at the terrifying strength displayed by the Jixia Kings Team, which far surpassed that of their peers and was even enough to make veteran Soul Kings feel ashamed!
This is true genius!
A truly...kingly army!

However, amidst the thunderous cheers, Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, sat in the main seat at the center of the viewing platform with a face so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

Her beautiful purple eyes, hidden behind the beaded curtain, were fixed on the Jixia Kings team on the arena, her gaze filled with undisguised resentment and jealousy.
And... a barely perceptible hint of fear!

Lost.

Her proud golden generation, the future hope she nurtured with all the resources of the Spirit Hall, even... after she risked her reputation to bestow those three incomparably precious soul bones upon them ahead of schedule...

They still lost?!
And the defeat was so complete, so... inevitable!
How could she accept this?!

She was originally convinced that with the huge advantage of the Soul Bone, plus the trump card of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Golden Generation would definitely be able to defeat the Jixia King Team and defend the honor of the Spirit Hall!

But reality... gave her a resounding slap in the face.

The talent and strength of this Jixia Academy and its students simply... exceeded her imagination.

It even... made her feel a little... fear.

If such a genius cannot be put to use... then... the consequences will be endless!
Bibi Dong took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging anger and killing intent in her heart, and managed to force a stiff smile onto her face.

According to the competition's schedule, the next thing to happen should be the most exciting part... the awards ceremony.

The champion team will receive three precious soul bones provided by the Spirit Hall, enough to drive any soul master crazy, and... unparalleled glory!

but…

What about the soul bone?
Bibi Dong's lips twitched slightly.

Those three soul bones had already been given to the Golden Generation ahead of time through her "behind-the-scenes manipulation," hoping that they could win the championship with the power of the soul bones!
But now...

The Golden Generation suffered a crushing defeat, and their Soul Bones... naturally went down the drain.

She simply can't offer any decent reward right now!

How is she supposed to handle this?!
Was he really going to admit in front of all the powers on the continent that he, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, couldn't even afford the championship reward?!
What about the Spirit Hall's reputation? What about her reputation?!
For a moment, Bibi Dong found herself in an unprecedentedly awkward and embarrassing situation!

But she was, after all, a powerful and cunning woman!

Soon, a thought flashed through her mind.

Perhaps... we can... try again?
She looked at the seven members of the Jixia Kings Team on the arena with a complicated expression, looking at their young faces full of endless potential... These children... are indeed rare geniuses!

If... if we could recruit them to the Spirit Hall...

So what does this little "accident" matter?

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong's stiff smile suddenly became "kind and approachable".

She slowly rose and, in a tone full of "appreciation" and "expectation," addressed the Jixia Kings team on the arena, saying loudly:
"Young heroes of Jixia Academy, your performance today was truly... outstanding and incredibly surprising."

"Your talent, your strength, and your teamwork have all left me in awe and deeply impressed!"

"I believe that with your potential, your future achievements will be limitless, and it is not impossible that you will even surpass the Golden Generation of my Spirit Hall!"

She began with lavish praise, elevating the Jixia Kings team to an extremely high level.

Then she changed the subject, her tone filled with an air of "cherishing talent":

"I have always cherished talent, especially young geniuses like you with unlimited potential!"

"Today, I will make an exception and extend my sincerest invitation to you in front of all the Soul Masters across the continent."

"If you are willing, join my Spirit Hall!"

"I can promise you... even more generous cultivation resources than the Golden Generation."

A much broader platform for development, and even… I, the Emperor, can personally guide your cultivation.”

"In the future, you will become the most dazzling new stars of the Spirit Hall, and the entire continent will tremble because of you!!!"

Bibi Dong's voice was full of allure; she believed that no young man could refuse such generous offers.

however…

The only response she received was silence.

The seven members of the Jixia Kings Team simply stood quietly on the arena, looking at her with a gaze that was calm to the point of being indifferent.

It was as if her "passionate" recruitment speech just now was nothing more than a... laughable one-woman show.

The air suddenly became a little... awkward.

Bibi Dong's smile gradually froze.

"how?"

Her voice involuntarily turned cold.

"Could it be... that the conditions I offered were not generous enough?"

"Or is it that... your Jixia Academy looks down on my Spirit Hall?"

Just then, in the rest area of ​​Jixia Academy, Zhuge Liang slowly rose, gently waving his feather fan, and responded loudly in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant:

"We, the students of Jixia Academy, are deeply grateful for Your Holiness's kindness."

"However, since its inception, Jixia Academy has established a rule—to devote oneself to scholarship and not concern oneself with worldly affairs."

The disciples of the academy also diligently follow the teachings, single-mindedly pursuing the Way, and unmoved by external things.

"We appreciate Your Majesty's kind offer."
