After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he finally stopped.
"Your Holiness, this is the compensation that Tianshui Academy requests. Please take a look."
Bibi Dong hadn't expected Lin Chuan to be so serious, but she couldn't take back what she'd said. She immediately turned her head slightly and gave a wink to the ghost behind her.
The ghost immediately understood and transformed into a black shadow, appearing before Lin Chuan.
Faced with the extremely imposing Title Douluo, Lin Chuan did not react much. Such a dismissive attitude made Gui Mei wish she could just take him down directly.
Unfortunately, Dugu Bo was watching closely from the side, so Gui Mei could only suppress her thoughts, take the note from Lin Chuan, and then flash back to hand it to Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong reached out and took it, glancing at it with her lowered eyes, her willow-leaf eyebrows furrowing slightly.
"Impossible, there are too many!"
"At least 80%, that's our bottom line. Otherwise, His Holiness the Pope might as well just award the championship to your Martial Soul Academy!"
Hearing Lin Chuan's words, Bibi Dong's eyes turned unfriendly.
But after weighing the pros and cons, he ultimately suppressed the chill in his heart.
"At most 60%!"
"make a deal!"
Almost the instant Bibi Dong spoke, Lin Chuan agreed without hesitation.
Looking at that beaming face, Bibi Dong knew perfectly well that the other party's attitude just now was nothing but an act, a ploy to gain the greatest benefit.
You've got some nerve trying to play tricks on her!
Bibi Dong snorted inwardly, but it wasn't entirely unacceptable.
At least, they did achieve their goal.
Does Shrek Academy have any objections?
Yu Xiaogang stood up and shook his head, "We have no objections."
"Very good. Since none of the three teams have any objections, the final will be a free-for-all between the three teams. The academy of the player who stands at the end will be the champion of this elite tournament!"
Bibi Dong spoke in a cool and decisive tone, making the final decision.
"Wait a minute, Your Holiness, when will you deliver the compensation you promised us?" Lin Chuan suddenly broke the atmosphere again.
"They will be distributed together after the competition ends."
“That won’t do!” Lin Chuan shook his head immediately. “What if the Spirit Hall changes its mind after the competition? I request that the compensation be given to us first.”
Bibi Dong was quite annoyed by her repeated self-refutation.
Suddenly remembering something, Bibi Dong's cold face revealed a sneer, "No problem, but the amount of compensation you proposed is too large. The Spirit Hall will need some time to transfer it from other places. How about this, the final competition will be held in three days. The compensation will be given to you before the competition starts. Is that alright?"
Haha, so that's the idea you're having!
Lin Chuan understood what Bibi Dong was thinking and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Three days shouldn't be enough for Hu Liena and Yan to recover, but with the help of the Spirit Hall's healing spirit masters, things might be different.
I'm afraid that in three days, Tianshui Academy will have to face the Spirit Academy at its peak, plus the siege of Shrek Academy. They've really planned this well!
However, Lin Chuan was not afraid.
"Then let's follow His Holiness the Pope's arrangement and have the competition in three days!"
Lin Chuan, are you really that confident? You don't even take the combined attack of three Soul Kings, six Soul Masters, and five Soul Venerables seriously?
Bibi Dong stared at Lin Chuan, her eyes filled with questions.
Lin Chuan calmly looked back and grinned.
It doesn't matter, he will take action!
Chapter 127 The final battle
Pope's Palace.
Having just finished settling everything, Bibi Dong arrived at Hu Liena's room.
"Meet the teacher!"
When Hu Liena, who was lying in bed, saw Bibi Dong arrive, she struggled to get up.
"Alright, you were just injured, no need for formalities, just lie down and rest!" Bibi Dong waved her hand gently, stepped to the bedside and sat down, glancing at the maid beside her.
How is Nana doing?
"Your Holiness, a bishop has already come to treat Her Highness the Saintess, and she is basically out of danger. However, Her Highness has suffered some mental damage and is still somewhat weak."
Upon hearing the maid's words, Bibi Dong immediately frowned.
"Does that little guy still have the ability to attack?"
Seeing Bibi Dong's reaction, Hu Liena lowered her head, her face pale. "I'm sorry, teacher. I'm useless and have let you down."
"Since you know your shortcomings, then work hard. The competition isn't over yet. Those three soul bones were brought out by me against all odds. If you don't win in the end, I don't need to say more about what will happen then, right?"
Bibi Dong was not angry, and her tone remained very gentle.
But as soon as she spoke, Hu Liena's already pale face became even more bloodless.
Bibi Dong originally intended to bestow the three soul bones directly upon the three members of the Golden Generation, but the Elders objected, so she had to compromise and give them as a reward.
In this way, the elders of the Spirit Hall could no longer oppose it.
The premise is that Martial Soul Academy can actually win; otherwise, if these three precious ten-thousand-year-old soul bones fall into the hands of others, it will also affect Bibi Dong's prestige among the higher-ups.
Therefore, even though Hu Liena was a saint, she was still punished after losing in the end.
That is, heading to Death Valley!
"Please rest assured, teacher, we will do our best to win the championship and will never let you down again!" Hu Liena said with a firm tone.
"Then I'll wait and see."
Bibi Dong nodded noncommittally.
She had done everything she could, even temporarily changing the rules. Given the immense threat posed by Tianshui Academy, as long as Yu Xiaogang wasn't stupid, he would arrange for Shrek Academy to launch a siege.
If we've gone this far and still can't defeat Tianshui Academy, then there's nothing we can do.
Bibi Dong suddenly raised her hand, and the ring on her index finger shone brightly. When she turned her palm over, a skull appeared in her palm.
"Absorb it; it will increase our chances of winning."
Hu Liena's expression suddenly changed. "Teacher, isn't this a soul bone meant as a reward? It's too precious!"
Bibi Dong's face darkened, and she shook her head slightly. "No matter how valuable something is, if it cannot demonstrate its value, it is no different from scrap metal. This skull of spiritual wisdom is very suitable for you. Aren't you confident that you can win? This is just an early reward distribution."
"But……"
Seeing that Hu Liena was still hesitating, Bibi Dong could probably guess what she was worried about.
Bibi Dong smiled calmly and gently pulled Hu Liena into her arms. "Child, don't worry. I have another piece of skull here. Even if something goes wrong in the end, we can use it to make up for it."
Anyway, no one knows what abilities the skull of spiritual concentration has, so it's fine to switch it temporarily.
"Teacher, I want to absorb another piece of skull!"
Hu Liena showed no affectation; instead, her eyes revealed a firm resolve.
"Why? Although the two skulls are of similar quality, the skull of concentrated wisdom will be more suitable for you."
"Of course I believe the teacher means well, but..." Hu Liena slowly shook her head, a hint of fighting spirit flashing in her beautiful eyes, "I hope I can win back the three soul bones on my own!"
Bibi Dong remained silent for a moment, and, truly sensing Hu Liena's determination, nodded gently.
"Since you insist, the teacher will agree."
With that, he put away the skull containing the essence of wisdom, and instead took out another white skull from his ring. With a gentle wave of his hand, he flew towards Hu Liena.
This time, Hu Liena did not refuse. She accepted it solemnly, her beautiful eyes filled with deep emotion.
"Keep up the good work!"
"Congratulations, teacher!"
After briefly visiting Hu Liena, Bibi Dong turned and left.
He returned to the council hall and sat down, one hand supporting his forehead, his eyes gleaming with contemplation, while the other hand rhythmically tapped on the armrest.
"Your Holiness, are you worried about the match three days from now?"
In the center of the council hall, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei stood respectfully.
Bibi Dong, who was surrounded by her trusted subordinates, did not hide anything and nodded slightly. "That's right. No one expected that Tianshui Academy would be so strong this year. Lin Chuan has cultivated to the Soul Emperor level at the age of fifteen. I am worried that even if Nana and the others join forces with Shrek Academy, they may not be a match for them."
Others may not know Lin Chuan's soul power level, but as a level 99 peerless Douluo, even though she cannot use some of her soul power due to receiving the inheritance of a god, her mental strength is still strong.
Even if it's only for a moment and the perception isn't particularly clear, it's still at least level 60 or higher.
"That kid is actually a Soul Emperor?!"
