Chapter 123: "Ring Explosion" Skill Acquired
Tang Hao realised something was wrong, but his soul power was regressing and sealed, and his body was severely injured, so he couldn't detect what was wrong at all.
Unable to commit suicide, he had originally wanted "Yu Xiaogang" to help him end his life and bring his spirit bone to Tang San.
But Yu Xiaogang left without looking back, completely ignoring his demands.
"Is the master afraid of angering Bibi Dong by taking action without permission?"
"Fine—for the sake of Xiao San, I'll just have to endure it a little longer. It's just a bit of hardship!" Tang Hao comforted himself.
...
Qi Tian left the cell, transformed back into his original form, and then went to find Hu Liena, who was waiting outside.
Hu Liena looked at Qi Tian curiously, seemingly eager to know what he had done in the dungeon.
Qi Tian had no interest in satisfying her curiosity. "Hu Liena, go and attend to your own business. I have something to discuss with the Pope."
He had now obtained Tang Hao's secret technique and wanted to study it with Bibi Dong.
Although Bibi Dong's soul power was restricted as a level 99 Limit Douluo, her knowledge was profound.
Chen Xin had once said that a Titled Douluo must have their own insights to break through to level 96 or above.
Therefore, none of the Soul Masters above level 96 were simple, and Qi Tian never underestimated them.
"I also need to report to Her Holiness the Pope. I'll go with you!" Hu Liena said.
The two headed towards the Papal Palace together. Along the way, Hu Liena hesitated several times before speaking, but Qi Tian's indifference prevented her from finding an opportunity.
This only made Hu Liena even more curious about Qi Tian, and her gaze remained fixed on him.
Just as the two were about to step onto Spirit Mountain, Qi Tian stopped, sensing two strange gazes.
Hu Liena followed Qi Tian's gaze and saw two young men standing there looking at them.
One was her older brother Xie Yue, who was looking at her and Qi Tian with curiosity; the other was her teammate Yan, who seemed a little angry.
Seeing Hu Liena looking over, Yan immediately stepped forward, and Xie Yue could only follow.
"Nana, who is he?" Yan asked, pointing at Qi Tian.
Hu Liena frowned. "Yan, watch your tone. I don't need to answer your questions!"
"Also, in public, you must address me as vice-captain!"
At this moment Hu Liena seemed like a completely different person; her allure had transformed into an aura of authority.
Are these the Golden Generation of Spirit Hall? Qi Tian glanced at them a few times before continuing his ascent of Spirit Mountain.
He had no relationship with Hu Liena, so there was no need to waste time and energy on Yan's jealousy.
Yan felt slighted because Qi Tian didn't even look at him properly. He wanted to cause trouble for Qi Tian, but Hu Liena glared at him and stopped him.
"Yan, we still need to see Her Holiness the Pope. You should go back and cultivate on your own!"
Upon hearing this, Yan swallowed his provocative words—for he dared not challenge the Pope's majesty.
"Qi Tian—wait for me!" Hu Liena chased after him.
Yan felt a bit aggrieved. He had calculated that Hu Liena would come down from Spirit Mountain at this time, so he had come here specifically to wait for her.
Unexpectedly he witnessed Hu Liena getting together with a pretty boy. So what if he's prettier than him?
"Captain, who exactly is that person next to Nana?" Yan asked.
Xie Yue shook his head. "I don't know either—but Nana is very opinionated. It's not simple that this person can catch her eye."
Although Yan didn't want to admit it, he nodded—because Hu Liena appeared to be a vixen on the surface but was actually extremely arrogant inside.
Could someone who earned her favour be simple? Why was he so unhappy about it?
"Does he want to become our teammate?" Yan was somewhat resistant.
He had been pursuing Hu Liena for so long, but she hadn't responded at all.
If this new teammate was interested in Hu Liena, given Nana's attitude toward him, then he had absolutely no hope.
Xie Yue shook his head. "I would like that—but Nana didn't say so, which means he won't be our new teammate for the time being."
"Let's go back and cultivate. The Soul Master Competition will start in a little over a year, and we can't slack off!"
...
Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong looked at Qi Tian with some surprise. "You obtained the secret technique of the Clear Sky Sect?"
She had Tang Hao tortured for several days, but he refused to say anything. Qi Tian got it so easily—which surprised her.
Qi Tian nodded. "I became his son's teacher to successfully deceive him."
However, if Tang Hao hadn't been tormented into a mental daze, even if he was seriously injured, Qi Tian wouldn't have had a chance to succeed.
"Hu Liena—you can go now!" Bibi Dong waved her hand.
Hu Liena then realised that the people imprisoned in the dungeon were actually from the Clear Sky Sect.
Qi Tian was able to pry open the mouths of Clear Sky Sect disciples. Could it be that he was valued by her teacher because of his talent in this area?
Hu Liena's curiosity was destined to remain unsatisfied, and she left the Papal Palace as instructed by Bibi Dong.
Qi Tian then explained Tang Hao's secret techniques to Bibi Dong one by one.
"Excellent! You and the disciples of Spirit Hall can also use this special spirit seal," Bibi Dong remarked.
This method of suppressing spirit and soul power to break through the limit was indeed quite good.
"The Nine Absolutes of Clear Sky can be used by Spirit Hall's weapon spirit masters. I will give it to the two Douluo—Fifteen Ton and Falling Devil."
"As for the core skill of the Great Sumeru Hammer—the Ring Explosion—we can use it!"
"Moreover, we have twin spirits. Even after one spirit's spirit rings are destroyed, we still have the other spirit to use!"
"Unfortunately, this skill is best suited for power-type offensive Soul Masters—as soul power provides the most direct boost to power-type Soul Masters!"
"However, this skill requires a high level of physical strength; otherwise the surging soul power after the rings explode may break through the meridians and the body."
"You can't cultivate yet. I'll try to cultivate and improve it before I teach you again!" Bibi Dong said.
"Good!" This was the purpose of Qi Tian bringing the secret technique to Bibi Dong.
He needed to gradually comprehend the essence of cultivation, but Bibi Dong would soon be able to discern the signs based on her own experience.
The skill of exploding rings was naturally suited to him. His original spirit was not only a power-type spirit but also had high physical strength.
Bibi Dong asked, "You've done a great service this time—what reward do you want?"
She wore a gleaming gold gown, held a papal sceptre, and wore a nine-curved purple-gold crown—displaying papal majesty to the fullest.
Qi Tian glanced at it greedily a few more times, and Bibi Dong immediately understood what he meant.
"Qi Tian—we can't do this here. The Grand Priest and the others will sense us!"
Bibi Dong didn't seem like someone who was new to such things at all; she showed no shyness whatsoever.
"However, I can wear this outfit and go back to the training room with you!"
Qi Tian couldn't stand her enthusiasm. He had originally wanted to leave Spirit City as soon as possible, but he stayed in Spirit City to cultivate for a few more days.
