Douluo : People are writing diaries in Douluo

The third day finally arrived—the day of the finals.

As the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament reached its end, it was now time for the final showdown.

Outside the Pope's Hall, two rows of palace guards lined up from the hall's entrance down the mountain, their silver armor and heavy swords adding a solemn grandeur to the atmosphere.

Su Ming was somewhat surprised to discover that, unlike in previous rounds, the Spirit Hall hadn't dismissed the teams that had been eliminated. All participants were allowed to gather in the plaza outside the Pope's Hall.

This was odd because, in the original story, only the three teams that had reached the finals were allowed at the Pope's Hall. Losing teams and regular spectators had no access, as they were not deemed worthy. Bibi Dong likely intended to pressure Tang San by surrounding him with overwhelming force, capturing him if necessary. Besides, the plaza in front of the Pope's Hall couldn't accommodate so many people.

This time, the crowd was only slightly limited. Only those participating in the tournament could gather close to the Pope's Hall, while others had to stand farther out. But Spirit Hall had announced they would project the match in the sky using a special method so everyone could see, which Su Ming found quite intriguing.

Twenty-one contestants stood in silence on the plaza, awaiting the final battle.

Wuhun Hall Academy and Heaven Dou Academy, led by Xie Yue and Su Ming, respectively, seemed the most relaxed. Their confidence radiated from them.

Yet Hu Liena, within the ranks of the Spirit Hall, looked tense. She wasn't sure if her sister Qian Renxue could defeat Su Ming. According to reports from the two elders, Su Ming's true strength was on par with a Titled Douluo, while her sister Qian Renxue was merely a Soul Douluo. She was uncertain how this would turn out.

"Nana, are you doubting me?" Qian Renxue asked Hu Liena with a sly smile.

Hu Liena chuckled awkwardly. "Of course not, Sister Qian Renxue. You wield the divine-level spirit, Six-Winged Angel, and certainly have hidden cards up your sleeve. I'm just a bit...nervous."

Qian Renxue didn't seem surprised by her words; Su Ming's strength was indeed intimidating. She wasn't entirely confident herself and could only hope her Sun Breathing techniques would give her an edge over Su Ming.

Qian Renxue was present in the Spirit Hall ranks in her true form this time. She stood in the third position in the line-up, following Xie Yue and Hu Liena.

Her prominent placement quickly drew the attention of others, particularly from Thunder Academy.

"Look, when did Spirit Hall gain such a beautiful blonde member? She wasn't originally part of their team, right?"

"Yeah, she must be a substitute. But honestly, her aura feels even stronger than Hu Liena's."

"I noticed that too! Hu Liena even seemed to treat her with respect."

In Thunder Academy's area, Tang San's attention was instantly captured by Qian Renxue. Her appearance and aura seemed utterly perfect, surpassing even Xiao Wu.

"Hey, Third Brother, are you staring at that blonde beauty?" Ma Hongjun teased.

Without his previous "distraction," Ma Hongjun's interest in beautiful women had greatly diminished. Now, they were mere eye candy to him—any deeper desire would just add to his frustration.

Startled by Ma Hongjun's words, Tang San snapped back to reality, surprised that he, with his usually strong willpower, had been affected by her allure. He wasn't new to beautiful women—he had resisted the charm of Hu Liena, a master of seduction herself. But with Qian Renxue, he found it...

Tang San turned to his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, for answers. His gaze seemed to ask, Teacher, did you know about this person from Spirit Hall?

Yu Xiaogang frowned and shook his head, silently indicating his uncertainty.

In the Heaven Dou Academy team, Xiao Wu discreetly whispered, "Brother, that stunning woman—is she the sister from Spirit Hall you've mentioned before, the young master?"

Su Ming nodded slightly.

"Since you said she's a Soul Douluo, then she'll be your opponent, right?"

At that moment, a group of twelve red-robed bishops emerged from the Pope's Hall's side entrance. The lead one called out loudly, "His Holiness the Pope arrives!"

The grand doors of the Pope's Hall opened slowly, drawing every gaze.

A breathtaking woman dressed in a dazzling golden gown, crowned with a purple-gold diadem, and holding a scepter, walked out gracefully.

Xiao Wu's eyes fixed on Bibi Dong, as she finally saw her in person! She could sense a faint trace of her mother's presence in Bibi Dong.

Standing behind Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo whispered something to her. Bibi Dong's gaze fell upon Tang San.

As her gaze bore down on him, Tang San felt as if his very soul was being stripped away, forcing him to activate his Purple Demon Eye technique.

Yet, in the next moment, Bibi Dong's eyes moved from him to Su Ming, standing among the Heaven Dou Academy team.

This was her first time seeing Su Ming. He was indeed an exceptionally talented and handsome young man.

If only Su Ming weren't such a playboy—she might have considered pairing him with Qian Renxue once he joined Spirit Hall.

But since Qian Renxue had accepted him as an adopted brother, she would let nature take its course.

Noticing Bibi Dong's gaze on him, Su Ming politely nodded with a calm smile.

Meanwhile, Tang San heaved a deep sigh of relief. He realized that, within those brief seconds, cold sweat had drenched his back. For a moment, he had feared Bibi Dong might strike him down right then and there.

Bibi Dong: Hmph. You're not even worthy of me personally dealing with you. Besides, Spirit Hall acts with legitimate cause.

Little did Tang San know that so many people had been granted access to the Pope's Hall plaza for this final showdown, all because of him.

When the tournament concluded, his fate would be sealed.
