Chapter 217 A Great Harvest: The Pope and the Elders
It was gratifying to see Tang San lose three fingers to Batian Douluo, but some people felt it was unfair and thought that Batian Douluo should have killed Tang San, that brat, with a single palm strike!
However, for Li Luochen, who was into having fun, it was just right. Tang San's specialty was throwing hidden weapons with his fingers, and his index and middle fingers were extremely important for a delicate technician like Tang San.
After Tang San, he will probably be unable to launch high-end hidden weapons anymore, and the accuracy of ordinary hidden weapons will also be greatly reduced.
Manufacturing mechanical hidden weapons must be extremely difficult, after all, Tang San has been able to throw hidden weapons with all five fingers since his previous life.
As a result, decades of hard work have been wasted. The thought of Tang San throwing hidden weapons with his thumb and ring finger is hilarious.
I wonder how big a blow this will be to Tang San. After all, not everyone can be physically disabled but determined. Besides, he has a teacher who is not physically or mentally strong. I wonder what kind of fun will happen next. I'm looking forward to it.
"Match ended! Heavenly Dou Royal Team wins!"
Although the Heaven Dou Royal Team won, they paid a heavy price. Support player Ru Siyi suffered excessive mental exhaustion, and other members sustained numerous injuries, with Tang San being the most seriously injured.
The three finalist teams have now been determined: Shrek Academy, Spirit Hall Academy, and Heaven Dou Royal Team.
Nighttime, at the hotel of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team.
Tang San slowly woke up, feeling excruciating pain all over his body. When he struggled to get up, he couldn't feel his three fingers anymore.
Tang San was shocked. He then hurriedly used his soul power to shatter the bandages on his hands. He was missing his index and middle fingers on his right hand and his index finger on his left hand.
"Aaaaaaah! My finger! Damn Spirit Hall! You cut off my finger, how am I supposed to use Tang Sect hidden weapons now?!"
How am I supposed to make hidden weapons to fight the Spirit Hall?! That damned Spirit Hall! For blocking my path, for killing my father, you all deserve to die!
Tang San could only rage helplessly, while Li Luochen, hiding in the shadows, watched with great pleasure. He had sneaked over early on, naturally wanting to witness Tang San's disgraceful state.
However, when he arrived, Tang San was unconscious. Li Luochen suddenly thought of something: the Xuan Tian Treasure Record! He wondered if Tang San had copied it.
Li Luochen then flipped through Tang San's Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon, and actually discovered the Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons, the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, the Tang Sect Poison Scripture, and the three strongest mechanical hidden weapons that Tang San had already completely drawn: Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus, Rain of Pear Blossoms, and Peacock Feather.
Of course, there's also the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, the Mother-and-Child Soul-Chasing Deadly Dart.
The Xuan Tian Bao Lu records the Tang Clan's unique skills: Xuan Tian Gong, Zi Ji Mo Tong, Xuan Yu Shou, Kong He Qin Long, and Gui Ying Mi Zong.
However, Tang San is very cunning. These things he uses are not written in the script of Douluo Continent, but in some kind of ancient script, similar to the traditional Chinese characters of ancient China.
Li Luochen needs to study this. He translates Tang San's unique skills. Li Luochen has read them roughly. Among them, he values the Xuan Tian Gong the most. He is checking if the Xuan Tian Gong contains the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
As a result, Tang San could recognize some characters, but he could still count a few numbers.
If the Mysterious Heaven Skill can be reduced, then everything else is complete. Li Luochen plans to spread the Mysterious Heaven Skill completely, through the Spirit Hall, so that the entire continent can cultivate it.
This would eliminate Tang San's advantage. As for Li Luochen's self-created Zhou Tian Wuji Gong, although the name sounds impressive, it still has some shortcomings. Li Luochen plans to combine it with Xuan Tian Gong and improve it further.
Li Luochen had a very fruitful night. He teleported away and no longer cared about Tang San, that clown. Tang San's life essence had been completely taken away, and everything else was dispensable.
After Li Luochen left, Tang San calmed down after a period of rage. He took out a brocade pouch from the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night. It was a soul tool for storing living beings, given to him by Yu Xiaogang.
Tang San took out a large green mushroom from inside.
"It's time to use this sixth-grade green Ganoderma lucidum. Its medicinal properties should be able to restore my damaged meridians."
After calming down, Tang San realized that he was riddled with wounds and needed immediate treatment. He was extremely lucky when he obtained his fourth spirit ring, encountering a sixth-grade green mushroom. Others thought it was a mushroom, but Tang San had such discerning eyesight.
After Tang San picked it, a 30,000-year-old Earth Demon Spider emerged from the ground. Fortunately, Soul Douluo Zhilin was there and drove the Earth Demon Spider away, allowing Tang San to successfully harvest this rare treasure.
After Tang San consumed the sixth-grade green mushroom, his body first emitted a green light, then a blue-gold light appeared. His internal and external injuries were slowly repaired, but his missing finger did not grow back.
Unfortunately, Tang San's injuries were too severe. The intense training he underwent had inflicted numerous internal injuries, which, although somewhat healed, remained. Now, he was suffering from the backlash of his weapon spirit's true form and the fusion technique's backlash. These injuries were beyond the healing power of a sixth-grade Green Mushroom. Furthermore, Tang San had heeded Yu Xiaogang's theories and absorbed a poison-attribute spirit ring, impairing his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline and reducing his self-healing abilities.
Although Tang San felt good about himself, his hidden injuries were still present, just accumulating inside his body, waiting for the last straw that would break the camel's back.
After a day of rest, in front of the Papal Palace,
All three teams stood beneath the Papal Palace, and all three teams appeared to be in good condition. Apart from Ru Siyi, who was pale, the members of the Heaven Dou Royal Team were in good condition, with Tang San, the leader, having a rosy complexion and excellent health.
The finals are just around the corner, and they are only one step away from the ultimate championship.
The bright sunlight shone down on the earth, and under its rays, the Papal Palace appeared even more magnificent, like a divine abode.
In front of the Papal Palace, two rows of paladin knights lined up from the entrance to the foot of the mountain. Their bright silver armor and heavy swords made the entire Papal Mountain even more majestic.
The eliminated teams have all left, not even allowed to watch the final day of battle. Only the truly strong young warriors are qualified to step onto this square in front of the Papal Palace.
Early in the morning, the three teams that had advanced to the final three were already waiting quietly in front of the Papal Palace. Teachers from the three academies were not allowed to stand in the square and could only wait on the perimeter.
The Shrek team, led by Ma Hongjun and Oscar, looked relaxed and kept a low profile, as if they were not particularly eye-catching.
The Spirit Hall Academy team, led by Xie Yue and Hu Liena, appeared the most relaxed, but their eyes shone with the light of faith—faith in the Spirit Hall and faith in the Pope.
However, when Hu Liena looked towards the Shrek team's teachers, she didn't see Li Luochen, and her heart sank somewhat.
The square in front of the Papal Palace is no smaller than the playing field used in the previous competition. The square square is paved with special stones, which, upon closer inspection, have a faint, shimmering sheen.
Although it wasn't real jade, it was far superior to ordinary rocks. This demonstrates just how formidable the Spirit Hall's wealth was.
A group of people emerged from the side door of the Papal Palace. A total of twelve cardinals, whose rank was second only to the Platinum Cardinals, slowly walked over. They walked straight to the front of the Papal Palace and stood on either side, six on each side.
The leader announced loudly, "His Holiness the Pope has arrived."
"Long live! Long live! Long live!" The knights' voices were incredibly loud!
The massive palace doors slowly opened, and the emblems on the two doors gradually veered off course.
A stunningly beautiful figure emerged, dressed in a long, shimmering gold gown from head to toe, wearing a purple-gold crown, holding a scepter, and with a solemn expression, Bibi Dong was the first to walk out of the Papal Palace.
She had an ethereal quality to her, as if she were infinitely tall.
Behind her followed seven people. Six of them wore bright red robes, but unlike the cardinal's all-red robes, their red robes were inlaid with gold and silver patterns. In particular, the jewel on their chests, which shone with gold and was the size of a baby's fist, was full of luxuriousness.
For ordinary people, this formal attire might merely symbolize nobility, but for Soul Masters, it represents the greatest honor, as only Title Douluos are qualified to wear this red robe. Clearly, these six individuals hold that status.
Among them, the two elders of the Spirit Hall, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, are relatively well-known and stand to Bibi Dong's left.
Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Sword Douluo, the sect's guardian Douluo, stood to the left of Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo.
The two on the far right are Wind Eagle Douluo Flander, who previously displayed a 100,000-year soul ring in the Heaven Dou region, and to his left is the new sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Extreme Thunder Douluo Yu Luomian.
These are all veteran powerhouses; any Soul Master with a bit of knowledge could recognize them, and they are already quite famous.
What's most jaw-dropping is that a young man standing to Bibi Dong's right is dressed in two colors: a bright red robe for a Title Douluo elder, over which he wears a navy blue teacher's uniform from Shrek Academy.
The young man had a handsome face, long black hair tied in a ponytail with nine gradient colors, and a warm smile on his face, giving him a carefree air.
This young man is Li Luochen, the team leader of Shrek Academy!
