Chapter 133 Champion
The bright sunlight shone down on the earth, and under its rays, the Papal Palace appeared even more magnificent, like a divine abode.
Two rows of paladin knights lined up from the entrance of the Papal Palace all the way down the mountain, their bright silver armor and knightly swords at their waists making the entire Papal Mountain appear even more majestic.
Early in the morning, the three teams that had made it to the final three arrived in front of the Papal Palace and waited quietly.
Teams that have been eliminated are not allowed to come to the Papal Palace, and are not even allowed to watch the game.
Of the three teams, Lin Ye looked the most relaxed.
This childish game is finally coming to an end.
To be honest, Lin Ye felt like he was bullying his peers when competing against them.
Beside her was Dugu Yan, the captain of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. The two were behaving very intimately, with Dugu Yan practically clinging to her.
Seeing this, Yu Tianheng clenched his fists tightly, then let them relax weakly. His competitors were too strong; he felt utterly hopeless.
Just then, a group of 12 cardinals filed out from the side door of the papacy and stood on either side.
The leader announced loudly, "His Holiness the Pope has arrived."
The words were spoken.
The massive main gate of the Papal Palace slowly opened, and Pope Qian Xunji, his face solemn, emerged. Wearing a golden crown and ceremonial robes, and holding his papal scepter, he walked out slowly. His presence was like a towering mountain, inspiring awe and reverence, or a surging sea. His imperial majesty shook the four corners of the earth.
After Qian Xunji appeared, all the members of the Spirit Hall knelt on one knee and shouted, "Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope."
The Soul Masters from the Three Strong Academy and other forces at the foot of Pope Mountain followed suit and knelt in worship.
We shout "Long live His Holiness the Pope!" three times.
Lin Ye stood ramrod straight. Seeing that he didn't kneel, Dugu Yan naturally followed suit and pulled Ye Lingling, who was about to bow, up as well.
The Spirit Hall does not have an explicit rule that Spirit Masters must bow to the Pope, but at this moment, Lin Ye and his two companions still seem to be acting somewhat differently.
The cardinal was about to speak angrily when Qian Xunji waved him away.
"Get up, everyone."
Then, Qian Xunji's gaze swept across the entire room.
"I see an infinite future in you. Before the Papal Palace, I hope to see your full strength and talent. The ultimate victor will receive the greatest reward from my Spirit Hall."
As he finished speaking, he waved the scepter in his hand.
He magically produced three soul bones.
A right arm bone flickering with firelight, a left leg bone surrounded by a gentle breeze, and a head bone that appears pale blue.
Lin Ye remained extremely calm as he examined the three soul bones.
This quality of soul bone is not good enough for him.
If you really want it, there are plenty of ways. You can just ask Tang Hao to borrow it. Tang Hao is full of soul bones, so borrowing one or two wouldn't be a big deal. I don't think Tang Hao would have much of an objection.
Others cannot remain calm.
This is a soul bone! For a soul master, it is the most precious treasure, something that can only be encountered by chance.
Soul rings are valued for their age, while soul bones are valued for their quality. The higher the level of the soul beast that produces the soul bone, the stronger its effect.
The three soul bones that the Spirit Hall brought out were all over ten thousand years old. For most soul masters, they would be considered top-grade.
Behind Pope Qian Xunji, Ghost Douluo, dressed in a red suit, said in his deep voice: "These three soul bones all come from ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. They are the right arm bone of explosive burning flame, the left leg bone of rapid wind chasing, and the skull of spiritual concentration wisdom."
Among them, the Wisdom Skull, which embodies spiritual essence, was obtained by His Holiness the Pope from slaying a 5-year-old soul beast, and is the finest among soul bones.
Every Soul Master desires a Soul Bone. The Soul Masters from the three teams present all felt a deep longing as they gazed at the three Soul Bones floating before Qian Xunji.
The rules for the fifth round are similar to those for the qualifying rounds. The three teams will draw lots to determine which two colleges will play the first match, and the winners will continue to fight, and so on.
The two losing teams then participate in the losers' bracket match in the afternoon, where the losers are eliminated and the winners are eligible to continue the competition.
Then, the remaining two teams will compete for the final championship tomorrow.
Each of the three teams sent one person to draw lots.
The Spirit Hall team was lucky enough to draw a bye.
Therefore, the first match was between Purple Star Academy and Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.
However, unexpectedly, Dugu Yan, the captain of the Tiandou Royal Team, said to the referee: "We give up the individual competition and voluntarily enter the loser's bracket match this afternoon."
The Spirit Hall hadn't reacted yet, but the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team was the first to panic.
Yu Tianheng said angrily, "Captain, what do you mean by this? Just because of your relationship with him, are you abandoning our team?"
The other team members also looked at Dugu Yan, some of them unwilling to give up.
Dugu Yan's expression was indifferent as she glanced at Yu Tianheng and said, "My poison is useless against him. If any of you think you can defeat him, feel free to do so."
Lin Ye had taken eight-pointed star anise and fire apricot, which not only made him immune to water and fire, but also gave him strong resistance to poison.
Dugu Yan said that she couldn't fight back at all, and she was very helpless!
Tian Dou Royal Academy announced its withdrawal from the competition.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, the cardinal in charge of the referee immediately announced that Purple Star Academy had won the first match.
then.
The second match was between Purple Star Academy and the Spirit Hall team.
The Spirit Hall team's choice next was also surprising.
In the Spirit Hall team, Captain Xie Yue stepped out of the team. He first bowed to Pope Qianxun, and then said to the referee, "We also give up the individual competition and voluntarily enter the loser's bracket competition this afternoon."
Xie Yue's reason for forfeiting the competition was simple: the Spirit Hall team might not be able to defeat Lin Ye, but they could definitely defeat the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
If I were to confront Lin Ye now and want to defeat him, I would have to use my trump card, which is the fusion skill of his and his sister Hu Liena's martial souls.
But he still wants to save this trump card for tomorrow's final, to catch Lin Ye off guard and decide the outcome in one battle.
Using a little strategy for the sake of the soul bone is not shameful.
The dramatic turn of events caught many off guard, with Zixing Academy advancing directly to tomorrow's finals without a fight.
There are no more matches this morning, so what are we still doing here? Everyone should go home and find their own mothers.
When she returned, Dugu Yan was still complaining.
"You wouldn't come to the Royal Academy when we asked you to, and now look what's happened, I'm about to be pushed aside."
Lin Ye laughed heartily, "The Royal Academy only accepts nobles, and I'm not a noble. Besides, there's not a single good person in the royal family. If I help them build their reputation, wouldn't that just let them use it to fool the people?"
"Why does it feel like you're targeting me?" Dugu Yan asked suspiciously.
"Haha, no, don't overthink it... Sister Yan, Lingling, I'll treat you to lunch!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan knew that he had ulterior motives and glanced at her sisters beside her.
As usual, Ye Lingling wore a long black dress and a black veil covering her face, making her very inconspicuous.
Dugu Yan knew Lin Ye's thoughts and did not stop him; she was very sensible in this regard.
The three chatted and laughed as they walked away.
Yu Tianheng watched their departing figures, his heart filled with unbearable sorrow. The girl he loved had fallen into someone else's arms... This feeling...
It hurts, it hurts too much!
At midday, sunlight streamed through the hotel windows into the private room, creating a warm and tranquil atmosphere. The three of them sat around the exquisite dining table, the delicious dishes emitting an enticing aroma.
As Dugu Yan savored her food, she glanced at the other two out of the corner of her eye. She noticed that their eyes met from time to time, as if they had something to say to each other.
Dugu Yan secretly rolled her eyes at Lin Ye, no longer wanting to be a third wheel.
She gently put down her chopsticks, frowned slightly, and feigned a pained expression. "Oh dear, I don't know what's wrong, my stomach suddenly started hurting. I guess I ate a little too fast. I'm going to the restroom, you don't need to worry about me."
After speaking, she slowly stood up, slightly bent over, clutching her lower abdomen, and gracefully turned and walked out of the private room.
As Dugu Yan entered the corridor, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. What was this all about? She was helping her man seduce her own sister?
No, I have to make that guy make it up to me tonight.
Inside the private room, Ye Lingling could feel Lin Ye staring intently at her, creating a somewhat awkward atmosphere.
To hide her panic, she kept her head down and ate her rice, avoiding eye contact with Lin Ye.
After a moment of silence, Lin Ye took a deep breath and said, "Lingling, we've known each other for almost two years now. I'm not good with words, so I'll just get straight to the point."
I really like you. What about you? Would you like to be with me?
His voice wasn't loud, but it sounded exceptionally clear in the quiet private room.
This should be considered a confession.
But when Lin Ye said it, it always felt a little off, as if he didn't really care about it.
Lin Ye, indeed, did not take it too seriously.
This is also his attitude towards relationships. His view is that the most important thing for two people to be together is their values. Life is not about poetry and romance; it's about the mundane things like firewood, rice, oil, salt, and trivial matters.
Living together requires mutual understanding, tolerance, and consideration.
We share joys and sorrows, and are there for each other in times of warmth and cold.
Those vows of love and promises of eternal devotion always seem a bit too fake.
Those who constantly talk about love are often the most promiscuous.
on site.
Ye Lingling paused for a moment while eating, but unlike most girls, she wasn't shy in the face of such a frank confession.
The two have known each other for almost two years, but they have only met a handful of times.
In these few meetings, Lin Ye made no attempt to hide his interest in Ye Lingling.
Even someone as naive as Ye Lingling could sense this.
She raised her head slightly, revealing a beautiful face with a delicate and upturned nose, rosy and glossy lips, and a very pale complexion, almost unhealthy, lacking color. This was probably due to her long-term lack of sunlight.
Ye Lingling is very beautiful, with a cool and aloof beauty. Her appearance is no less than that of Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.
Without much thought, Ye Lingling softly replied, "Okay, I'm willing."
"Oh, you agreed so easily?" Lin Ye was a little surprised. This girl was too casual about her life's most important matter.
He had also learned about Ye Lingling through Dugu Yan.
When Ye Lingling first enrolled in the Royal Academy, she had no shortage of suitors due to her talent.
But this woman had an eccentric personality and was very resistant to contact and communication with people. Over time, she had few people around her, and some of her classmates even called her "the mute sister".
Ye Lingling didn't look at Lin Ye again and continued to eat her rice.
"Everyone's just living life, so what difference does it make who you live with?"
Her voice was flat and hollow, without any ups and downs, lacking both the brightness of joy and the depth of sorrow; it simply conveyed itself lifelessly, just like her despondent, zombie-like state.
Seeing her condition, Lin Ye felt a strange tightness in his chest and felt a little sorry for the girl in front of him.
"Lingling, tell me about your past."
Ye Lingling remained silent.
Lin Ye said, "Now that we're in this kind of relationship, I'd also like to know about your past. Tell me, maybe I can help you!"
At Lin Ye's insistence, Ye Lingling began to recount her experiences as if telling a story.
"Once upon a time, there was a little girl who was very happy as a child. Her parents doted on her, and her grandmother also cherished her. She thought it would always be like this."
But when she was six years old, she was about to awaken her martial spirit. The day before the awakening, her grandmother secretly committed suicide.
The girl only found out after awakening her martial soul. She cried and asked her mother why. Her mother told her that their family's Begonia martial soul was passed down through a single lineage, and each generation could only have one inheritor.
Only two Begonia Soul Masters can be alive at the same time. Only if one dies can their descendants awaken the Begonia Martial Soul again.
The girl asked her mother if her grandmother could live, and if the girl could awaken her father's martial spirit.
Her mother told her bitterly that it was their destiny to pass on the Begonia Martial Soul.
Both her mother and grandmother possessed the Begonia Martial Soul. Assuming both of them were alive, it was impossible for the girl to awaken the Begonia Martial Soul.
The mother also told the girl that as her mother gets older and her cultivation level increases, it will be more difficult for her to have younger siblings in the future, and even if she does have younger siblings, they may not be able to awaken the Begonia Martial Soul.
Therefore, in order to pass on the martial spirit, every child must try.
The girl is the mother's first child. If the girl cannot awaken the Begonia Martial Soul, then they will have a younger brother or sister.
Then continue trying to awaken the Begonia Martial Soul in the younger brother and sister until one of the children successfully awakens the Begonia Martial Soul.
In order to prevent the inheritance of the Begonia Martial Soul from dying out, the eldest member of each generation of the Begonia Martial Soul must be prepared to sacrifice himself.
The girl successfully awakened the Begonia Martial Soul, but the smile on her face was gone, because it was something her grandmother had given her life for.
Later, the girl's parents died one after another. Her mother had told her that passing on the Begonia Martial Soul was their family's destiny, and the girl was no exception.
But the girl didn't want that. She didn't want to pass on this pain. It was a mistake, and she wanted to end it.
What she needs to do is sever the inheritance of the Begonia Martial Soul, and neither find a partner nor have offspring.
After hearing the story, Lin Ye felt a chill run down her spine.
