Dugu Bo immediately stood up, turned around, and disappeared from the room.
Lin Chuan turned back to Shui Lanxin and instructed, "Dean, it would be best to gather everyone together before the finals begin, so that we can react immediately if anything unexpected happens."
Shui Lanxin nodded, "I understand. We haven't brought many teachers this time, so it won't waste too much time."
"That's good, but there's no need to worry too much. The Spirit Hall might not actually attack us. After all, there's someone in Shrek Academy that they're paying close attention to!"
After all, no matter how you look at it, Tang San, who possesses twin martial souls, will undoubtedly attract more attention.
In addition, given the feud between the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect, even if they take action after the competition ends, the Spirit Hall will focus more on Tang San.
"That's true. At that time, even Haotian Douluo might show up, and the Spirit Hall will be too busy to take care of itself!"
Shui Lanxin nodded gently. It seemed that the situation wasn't so bad after all.
After agreeing on the basic plan, the others also left one after another.
Lin Chuan leaned against the headboard and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Hope everything goes well!"
If the Spirit Hall really intends to take action, he will not show any mercy. He has not been without progress in these three months!
With a thought, a screen of light appeared in my mind.
Name: Lin Chuan
[Soul Power]: Level 65 (Six-Ring Soul Emperor)
[Blessing]: Diligence is rewarded by Heaven (Blessing from the will of the Blue Star; you reap what you sow, and your efforts will surely be rewarded).
[Technique]: Heavenly Water Meditation Technique LV7, Guiding Technique 'Ninefold Chaotic Origin' (Fourth Level)
[Skill Levels]: Archery (Harmony of Man and Nature), Spearmanship (Subtlety), Knife Technique (Harmony of Man and Nature), Fist Technique (Subtlety), Body Technique (Harmony of Man and Nature)
[Miscellaneous Skills]: Alchemy (Rank 4), Weapon Forging
[Skills]: Observation Haki LV4, Lightning Blade (Fourth Level), Movement Technique 'Flowing Light' (Fourth Level), Water and Fire Series
[Soul Skills]: First Soul Skill - Explosive Arrow LV5, Second Soul Skill - Frost Arrow LV5, Third Soul Skill - Gale Arrow Rain LV4, Fourth Soul Skill - Thunder Arrow LV4, Fifth Soul Skill - Golden Arrow LV3, Sixth Soul Skill - Soul Annihilation Arrow LV3
[Enlightenment Level]: The Mystery of Water (Level 1), The Mystery of Fire (Level 1)
During the preliminaries and qualifying rounds at Tianshui Academy, and even during the more than half a month spent traveling to Wuhun City, Lin Chuan was not wasting his time.
Not only did his soul power increase by one level, but his Nine-Fold Thunder Blade also broke through to the fourth level.
In other words, his power exertion technique has now reached 3.5 times, and his strength has undoubtedly reached a new level. Even if he encounters a Title Douluo, he will still have the power to fight even without using his self-created soul skills.
As long as Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong don't take action themselves, or get surrounded by multiple Super Douluo, they will basically be in no danger.
"Speaking of which, Bibi Dong should be receiving the power of the Rakshasa God right now, so she can't go all out for the time being, right?"
Furthermore, given that she hasn't fully attained godhood and is wary of the strength of the other two great empires and Qian Daoliu, it's likely that Bibi Dong won't make a move.
From this perspective, there's no need to worry too much.
However, just to be on the safe side, it's still necessary to be prepared.
"Every little bit helps, let's keep practicing!"
Lin Chuan shook his head, dispelling the thoughts in his mind. He then sat down cross-legged, placing the Sunset Bow on his lap, and holding the pills of the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King in his hands.
[You have deeply appreciated the world around you and benefited greatly, significantly deepening your understanding of the mysteries of the fire element.]

……
Three days passed quietly.
The final round of the competition has arrived.
The bright sunlight shone down on the earth, and under its rays, the entire Papal Palace appeared even more magnificent and resplendent, like the abode of the gods.
Two rows of paladin knights stood from the entrance of the Papal Palace all the way to the foot of the mountain, all dressed in the same bright silver armor and with broad knightly swords hanging at their waists, exuding an imposing aura.
The remaining three teams arrived here early in the morning.
As for the other teams that had already been eliminated, they had been driven away by the Spirit Hall and were not even allowed to watch the final day's battle. Not even the teachers from the three major academies appeared in the square.
"As expected, the Spirit Hall is up to its old tricks."
Dugu Bo stood side by side with Lin Chuan, a deep sense of apprehension flashing in his eyes.
As a titled Douluo, he was naturally allowed to come and watch the battle, and the Spirit Hall could not refuse him.
"Senior Dugu, please calm down. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. We've already prepared an escape route. Now let's see what the Spirit Hall is up to!"
Under the arrangement of the Spirit Hall personnel, the participating members of the three teams slowly arrived at the square and quietly waited for the competition to begin.
Dugu Bo stood outside the arena, accompanied by a man in black robes.
Not long after, a group of people walked out of the side door of the Papal Palace. They were all cardinals, whose status was second only to the Platinum Bishop.
The twelve cardinals walked to the main entrance and stood on either side.
"Welcome, Your Holiness the Pope!"
"Long live His Holiness the Pope!"
The fervent cheers, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, resounded throughout the entire Spirit City, demonstrating just how much the Spirit Hall revered the Pope.
The palace doors slowly opened, and all the shouts vanished instantly.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment, with only the sound of footsteps approaching.
Sunlight streamed into the Papal Palace, and a cool, aloof woman in a shimmering gold dress, wearing a purple-gold crown and holding a scepter stepped out, immediately drawing everyone's attention.
The newcomer was Bibi Dong, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall.
Lin Chuan looked at that stunningly beautiful face and felt incredibly amazed.
No wonder there was a saying in his past life that one's values follow one's appearance. He now deeply understands the meaning of this saying. Bibi Dong is indeed beautiful, and it is no exaggeration to say that she is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. In addition, her dignified temperament is an added bonus.
No wonder Qian Xunji was willing to become the Secret Chamber Douluo rather than let Bibi Dong go; there's a reason for it!
Of course, it was just a joke. When Bibi Dong is serious, she is quite attractive. It's just a pity that she is love-obsessed and a bit psychologically abnormal.
"Um?!"
Seemingly sensing something, Bibi Dong immediately looked towards Lin Chuan's location, and her emotionless gaze startled him.
'Such keen perception! Should I say she has powerful perception, or is it just that her sixth sense as a woman is particularly sharp?'
Lin Chuan took a deep breath and quickly banished the thoughts from his mind, ceasing all further elaboration.
Fortunately, Bibi Dong did not notice anything. After lingering for a moment, she looked away again and continued walking out of the Papal Palace. All the light immediately focused on her alone.
Chapter 123 Three-Way Battle
Bibi Dong walked out of the Papal Palace and suddenly stopped.
In an instant, all the members of the Spirit Hall knelt on one knee, their faces filled with respect and fervor, "Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope!"
"Be flat!"
Bibi Dong waved her scepter slightly, signaling everyone to stand up.
Behind her were five other people: Chen Xin, the Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; Yue Guan, the Chrysanthemum Douluo; Gui Mei, the Ghost Douluo; and another tall and slender Title Douluo.
The Spirit Hall's strength is evident, but this is far from all.
"My children, congratulations on standing out from the thirty-three teams and successfully arriving outside the Papal Palace. I see the future and hope in you. This continent ultimately belongs to you!"
A smile appeared on Bibi Dong's face as her gentle gaze swept over all the Soul Masters of the three teams.
Even without many actions, it still gives people a sense of warmth and intimacy.
"Now that the competition is nearing its end, I hope you will give it your all and show all your talent and strength. The final winner will receive the grand prize from the Spirit Hall!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Bibi Dong waved her scepter once more.
Three orbs of light, radiating dazzling brilliance, floated out simultaneously.
After the light faded, three completely different objects came into view, which were none other than three soul bones!
Arm bones, skull, and leg bones.
They were all soul bones over 10,000 years old, and the skull was even over 50,000 years old. You could tell from the light alone that they were no ordinary items.
"hiss……"
Everyone present, including those from the Spirit Hall, couldn't help but gasp, their eyes burning with intense, even greedy, light.
If it weren't for the fact that we were outside the Papal Palace, and that there were several Title Douluos standing in front of us, things would probably have already descended into chaos and scramble.
"Three ten-thousand-year-old soul bones and a skull—the Spirit Hall is being far too generous!"
Standing beside Lin Chuan, Shui Yue'er stared intently at the three soul bones, her eyes glowing red.
Lin Chuan smiled and shook his head, "What are you thinking? Do you really think the Spirit Hall is that generous?"
