Upon hearing that he could actually vote, Yu Xiaogang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn’t want to be the one to embarrass himself every time.
But when he actually saw the voting results on the screen, his face immediately darkened, and he felt inexplicably depressed.
The moment the rules were announced in the sky, a small light screen appeared simultaneously in front of almost all humans and intelligent soul beasts.
“Such methods are truly unheard of.”
Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, even Di Tian, who had experienced countless events, couldn’t help but sigh softly as he looked at the light screen before him.
The content displayed on the light screen was extremely simple.
There are only two buttons.
These correspond to World One and World Two, respectively.
Five minutes later, the voting period ended.
The voting results were quickly displayed on the screen above.
When Yu Xiaogang saw that only four people had chosen him—Bibi Dong, Liu Erlong, Ning Rongrong, and Hu Liena—his face immediately turned extremely grim.
He felt that everyone on the mainland was blind and couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
“What a piece of garbage canopy!”
It goes without saying that Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong would join Yu Xiaogang.
Hu Liena, on the other hand, did so because she followed Bibi Dong’s orders.
As for Ning Rongrong, she simply wanted to see Yu Xiaogang make a fool of himself so she could continue to enjoy the show.
Inside the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the result.
Her decision to vote for Yu Xiaogang was entirely due to her obsession and a subconscious choice.
But she immediately regretted it after submitting the ballot.
Because she had already guessed that the next video would mostly be about Yu Xiaogang’s experiences after entering the Spirit Hall.
This made her worry that the incident from back then might be broadcast on the screen.
That’s why Bibi Dong couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief after seeing the final result.
But the next moment, Bibi Dong couldn’t help but clench her fist again.
Because regardless of the voting results, Yu Xiaogang’s content will be released sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong could only pray silently in her heart.
“Damn it…
please don’t let that matter get out!”
Just then, large golden characters slowly appeared in the sky.
[Voting complete.
World #2 has been selected.]
[Third Stage Comparison: The Rise and Fall of the Spirit Hall.]
[First, we’ll play World 2, featuring Yu Chen!]
As these large characters fell, the light and shadow on the sky shifted, and the scene slowly unfolded.
After leaving the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Chen did not choose to take a carriage, but planned to walk to Wuhun City.
This departure lasted for a full three months.
[In these three months, Yu Chen has experienced many things.]
[In a village attacked by wolf bandits, a fallen soul master murdered people in the streets, and human traffickers kidnapped and sold people—Yu Chen intervened and saved everyone from all of this.]
However, Yu Chen’s intervention was not out of kindness.
He rescued these people only to use them for experiments.
Because a complete theoretical understanding of shattered martial souls had been developed, none of the thirty-four people who participated in the experiment encountered any problems.
With the cooperation of these people, Yu Chen gained a deeper understanding of soul power.
Before leaving, Yu Chen also left behind the cultivation methods he had summarized for those people.
He did this not to preach or teach.
[I just wanted to experiment and see if anyone other than myself could follow this path and deduce the subsequent cultivation methods first.]
Three months later, Yu Chen finally arrived outside Martial Soul City.
Looking at this magnificent and imposing behemoth, far surpassing any city he had ever seen before, Yu Chen knew he had come to the right place.
He did not linger in the city to rest, but went directly to the Papal Palace.
However, as soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, a guard stopped him.
“Stop right there!
What are you doing here?”
Yu Chen remained calm, cupped his hands, and said, “Please inform His Holiness the Pope that Yu Chen, son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s leader, has come to pay a visit.”
The guard was taken aback upon hearing this, and was about to tell Yu Chen to wait a moment when a clear and melodious female voice suddenly came from behind Yu Chen.
“Oh?
You’re the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan’s leader?”
Upon hearing the voice, Yu Chen turned around to look.
A young girl had appeared behind him at some point.
The girl was slender and tall, with long, smooth, orange-pink hair cascading over her shoulders.
She possessed a clean and pure aura, exuding both gentleness and a youthful innocence.
“Greetings, Your Majesty!”
Upon seeing the newcomer, the guard immediately bowed respectfully.
Upon hearing this form of address, Yu Chen immediately formed a judgment in his mind.
Before coming, he did a lot of research and knew a great deal about the important figures in the Spirit Hall.
[The girl before him, if he wasn’t mistaken, should be Bibi Dong, the current Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall.]
[“yes.”]
Yu Chen nodded slightly.
Upon hearing Yu Chen’s admission, Bibi Dong’s eyes revealed a hint of doubt.
“That doesn’t seem right?”
“I heard from my teacher that the Thunder Douluo’s son’s martial soul has evolved one after another, and he is highly valued in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Enjoying the story? Read on at novelping.com.
It seems that he usually has someone protecting him when he goes out.”
“Why did you come here alone?”
Clearly, Yu Xiaogang’s affair is no longer a secret among the various powerful factions.
[Furthermore, since Qian Xunji often mentioned it, Bibi Dong naturally knew some of it as well.]
That’s why she looked so puzzled.
Just as Yu Chen was about to explain, Bibi Dong seemed to suddenly remember something and blurted out…
“Oh right, I remember Thunder Douluo seems to have a son, a useless guy with no soul power—”
[Halfway through her sentence, Bibi Dong suddenly realized something was wrong, and her voice abruptly stopped.]
A hint of embarrassment flashed across her face.
She raised her hand to touch her head and said sheepishly:
“Um…
I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to say that.”
Yu Chen showed no reaction to this, simply speaking calmly.
“It’s alright.”
“I’ve always believed that life is your own, not something you live for others.”
“As long as you walk your own path well, what others say doesn’t really matter.”
Bibi Dong clearly hadn’t expected that this boy, who was about her age, would say such a thing.
Moreover, she could tell that Yu Chen wasn’t just pretending to be magnanimous.
These words truly reflected his innermost thoughts.
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong’s gaze towards Yu Chen softened, revealing a hint of admiration.
After a moment, she asked again, her voice tinged with curiosity.
“So, what exactly is the purpose of your visit to my teacher?”
Yu Chen cupped his hands in greeting and said, “This matter is a long story.
I would appreciate it if Your Excellency could escort me to His Holiness the Pope.
I will explain everything then.”
Seeing that Yu Chen was unwilling to speak frankly, Bibi Dong was somewhat helpless.
According to regulations, outsiders are not allowed to enter the Papal Palace without permission.
However, remembering her slip of the tongue and realizing she had genuinely developed some admiration for Yu Chen, Bibi Dong finally sighed and relented.
“Alright, I can take you in.”
“But let me make this clear first, when you see my teacher later, you absolutely mustn’t say anything out of line.”
“Otherwise, even I might not be able to protect you then.”
Yu Chen nodded and followed Bibi Dong towards the Papal Palace.
