Chapter 75: Bibi Dong learned the news
It wasn't until Li Zhenqiu explained everything that Sun Yu finally understood the reason behind those bizarre scenes.
After hearing all of it, Sun Yu also showed a wry smile.
"No, why do you have to be like this? If you wanted to test my strength, you could have just said so. How could I refuse an invitation from an elder?"
"It's all Li Zhenqiu's fault! We originally just wanted to invite you, but he insisted on giving you some sense of urgency and pressure, which is why we chose to have Han Yu challenge you under that pretext!"
Fire Ling'er very decisively sold out Li Zhenqiu, who had come up with the bad idea.
"Damn it, Ling'er, you're so unethical! You actually sold me out directly. Fine, then don't blame me, Sun Yu. Let me tell you, I did propose this, but the first one to agree was that wretched girl, Fire Ling'er. She looked like she was just eager to see chaos!"
Listening to Li Zhenqiu's defense, Sun Yu immediately rolled his eyes at him.
He never expected that Li Zhenqiu, who had initially said he would protect him, would be the first to suggest putting pressure on him. Sure enough, people who are called 'Qiu' (ball) are always complex!
"By the way, what did you mean by 'Third Brother' at the Spirit Elder level earlier?"
"Oh, you mean that. It means that in our circle, starting from Spirit Elder, there's a ranking system. The ranks go from first to seventh. Within the Spirit Elder strength level, Han Yu was originally ranked third. Now that you've defeated Han Yu, you naturally take his place as third."
Fire Ling'er explained.
As she said this, Fire Ling'er continued to look at the helpless Han Yu with a amused expression.
Upon hearing Fire Ling'er's explanation, Sun Yu finally showed a look of realization.
Isn't this just like the teaching policy of Hundred Battles Academy? No wonder Teacher Li was so enthusiastic about rankings.
It turned out he himself was already competing for rankings when he was in Spirit City...
"Alright, since everything has been made clear, Sun Yu, as the strongest person here besides yourself, come, I'll toast you. After this drink, let's consider what happened before as water under the bridge. From now on, until I defeat you, you are my Third Brother!"
Han Yu coughed a few times, picked up his wine glass, stood up, and spoke to Sun Yu.
"Senior Han Yu, I am younger than you, how is this appropriate..."
"It's fine, age doesn't matter. In our circle, strength is king. Since you are stronger than us, you have that qualification! When those two cultivation fanatics come out of seclusion tomorrow, I'll introduce you to the 'Boss' and 'Second' of the Spirit Elder level!"
Han Yu waved his hand.
"Ah, well... alright, but let's still address each other as we normally would in the future. I'll still call you Senior. After all, since ancient times, etiquette cannot be disregarded..."
Sun Yu cupped his hands.
"Hey, you kid..."
Seeing Sun Yu proactively suggest addressing each other normally, Han Yu's eyes lit up.
His favorable impression of Sun Yu rose another notch.
After Han Yu finished his toast, Fire Ling'er, Qing Feng, and Li Zhenqiu also stood up and respectfully called out "Third Brother."
But similarly, when Sun Yu addressed them, he still used the terms 'Brother' and 'Sister'...
Sun Yu's repeated use of 'Brother' and 'Sister' further made Fire Ling'er, Qing Feng, and Li Zhenqiu accept Sun Yu into their hearts.
Afterward, as time passed, the few people present gradually became quite drunk.
The slight sense of restraint that had lingered in the private room completely vanished as the alcohol was consumed and laughter grew louder!
....
Meanwhile, in Spirit City, at the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Inside the Supreme Pontiff Palace, on a high seat, a cold and beautiful woman dressed in a light purple Supreme Pontiff robe sat calmly, handling the scrolls of problem requests that came from various Spirit Hall branch halls across the continent.
Below this woman, two figures, one yellow and one black, stood.
These two figures were also processing various scrolls, but the scrolls they handled were those that the woman had finished processing and then distributed to them, instructing them to have people run errands to handle the tasks...
As these two figures, one black and one yellow, quickly entered and exited the Supreme Pontiff Palace to dispatch tasks,
the mountain of accumulated scrolls rapidly decreased at a visible rate.
And the three people diligently working in the Supreme Pontiff Palace at this moment were none other than the current Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong, and her two guardians, Ju Douluo Yueguan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei...
Soon, in just a single afternoon, all the scrolls on the table were processed.
Looking at the completed official duties, Bibi Dong rubbed her forehead with her delicate hands, her expression slightly fatigued.
At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo also stood up and spoke to Bibi Dong.
"Your Holiness the Supreme Pontiff, according to reports from the academy, the Hall of Offerings' Dou Hun Chang (Soul Battle Arena), which had been closed for half a year, reopened an hour ago..."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong, who was resting with her eyes closed, slightly opened her beautiful purplish eyes, gently glanced at Yue Guan, and then asked Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan in a soft but undeniable tone.
"Oh!? After half a year, it's open again? Whose descendants are going to conduct their ridiculous ranking contests this time?"
Hearing His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff's question, Chrysanthemum Douluo swallowed, briefly organized the information he had heard, and then bowed respectfully with a look of reverence.
"None of them. This time, the Hall of Offerings' Dou Hun Chang (Soul Battle Arena) only allowed personnel from their Hall of Offerings faction to enter; no one else was permitted. Even a few teachers from our side who were curious and wanted to go in and watch were blocked outside by Li Lin, the director of instruction, along with two Spirit Douluo from the Hall of Offerings faction. As for the reason, they didn't say, nor did they offer any explanation.
After about half an hour, the Hall of Offerings' Dou Hun Chang (Soul Battle Arena) opened its doors, allowing others to enter and exit. Our people also went inside immediately after Li Lin withdrew the defensive forces, but they didn't find any information..."
Before long, Bibi Dong, who had originally looked quite unenthusiastic, instantly fully opened her purplish eyes, which had been slightly open, upon hearing these words. She sat up straight, and her aura changed.
The original laziness and Charm in her eyes immediately transformed into an expression of majesty and solemnity.
"Tell me in detail..."
Bibi Dong spoke with a majestic tone.
The Hall of Offerings' Dou Hun Chang (Soul Battle Arena) was an indoor Dou Hun Chang (Soul Battle Arena) specifically built by the Hall of Offerings for their descendants to better conduct battles. Unless you were from the Hall of Offerings faction, no one else in the academy was allowed to enter and engage in soul battles there.
Of course, if you wanted to go in and observe, that was allowed; the people of the Hall of Offerings would not stop you.
However, something like today, where the Dou Hun Chang (Soul Battle Arena) was closed and no one else was allowed to observe, was truly the first time Bibi Dong had ever heard of such a thing happening in her knowledge...
Afterward, through Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's more detailed description, the expression on Bibi Dong's face gradually became more serious.
"Something that several people from the Hall of Offerings faction have conspired to conceal... it seems those Hall of Offerings members are hiding something they don't want me to know..."
Bibi Dong murmured inwardly.
