After learning that there were even more formidable beings in the Star Dou Great Forest, the few people present stopped asking further questions. This meant that if Xiao Tian intended to undertake this significant task, he would at least need to wait until he became a Titled Douluo.
After all, 100,000-year Spirit Beasts like the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python were already equivalent to Spirit Masters around level 96, and the fierce beasts whose strength surpassed them would only be stronger!
A few days later, the Shrek Team and the Spirit Hall Team each defeated their opponents and advanced to the top three, while the Heaven Dou Royal Team was fortunate enough to get a bye and advanced directly.
The All-Continent Spirit Master Elite Tournament, having progressed to this point, was now entering its final stages, a moment for ultimate struggle.
In front of the Supreme Pontiff Palace, two rows of palace guards extended from the entrance of the Supreme Pontiff Palace all the way down the mountain. Their shining silver armor and heavy knight swords made the entire Pope Mountain appear even more majestic.
The final top-three competition was held in the plaza in front of the Supreme Pontiff Palace. Non-Spirit Masters were strictly forbidden from entering to watch the matches, not even nobles.
However, Xiao Tian was somewhat puzzled; it seemed that ever since he arrived in Spirit City, he hadn't seen Qian Renxue, and he didn't know where she had gone.
In front of the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
The Shrek Team and the seven members of the Heaven Dou Royal Team stood in the center of the plaza first, awaiting Bibi Dong's appearance.
Then, the moment the Spirit Hall Team appeared, Xiao Tian looked over and was stunned: Qian Renxue!
How was Qian Renxue also among them?
After this thought, Xiao Tian suddenly recalled the questions Qian Renxue had asked him earlier, and a realization dawned on him. She wanted to defeat me in this competition, then reveal her identity, and make me submit.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, she certainly thinks highly of herself.
Qian Renxue met Xiao Tian's gaze, a slight smile playing on her lips. She subtly pushed forward a little, standing unreservedly beside him.
By all accounts, Xie Yue was the captain of the Spirit Hall Team and should have stood first, but after learning that Qian Renxue's strength surpassed his, Xie Yue very willingly stepped aside.
All three teams were present. From left to right, they were the Shrek Team, the Heaven Dou Royal Team, and the Spirit Hall Team.
Qian Renxue's appearance immediately drew the attention of everyone present.
She had a cascade of golden hair that fell like a waterfall, eyes as clear as the azure sky, skin as fair as snow, and features as exquisite as a work of art meticulously carved by God. Her figure was tall and graceful, and her demeanor was noble and sacred.
Her appearance instantly made all the beautiful women present, whether Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, or Shui Bing'er, feel a sense of inferiority.
Tang San noticed Qian Renxue's smile just now; it was the kind that could topple cities and kingdoms, leaving him in awe.
His self-control was still quite good, but Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar were not. Their eyes seemed to want to directly fixate on Qian Renxue.
Ning Fengzhi transmitted his voice from the side, "Uncle Jian, when did Spirit Hall get such a person?"
Chen Xin shook his head, "I don't know, but she gives me a very different feeling. This person is not simple. The aura she emits feels familiar."
At this moment, a group of people walked out from the side door of the Supreme Pontiff Palace. There were twelve red-robed cardinals in total, and the person leading them announced loudly, "His Supreme Pontiff is arriving!"
The massive palace doors slowly opened, and everyone's gaze converged in that direction.
A stunning woman, dressed in a brilliant golden long gown, wearing a purple-gold crown, and holding a scepter, slowly walked out.
Xiao Wu's eyes, however, were fixed intently on Bibi Dong at this moment. She finally saw her!
Xiao Tian sensed the change in Xiao Wu's emotions, took her small hand in his, and squeezed it, signaling her not to get excited yet.
The moment Bibi Dong appeared, her gaze first fell on Qian Renxue, and then she looked at Tang San.
Bibi Dong's deep eyes put considerable pressure on him. He instantly activated his Purple Demon Eye, and only then did the pressure slowly recede.
