Chapter 498: Chapter 498: Greed and Faking Injury?



At that moment, Tang San glanced toward the Heaven Dou Academy team and noticed Su Ming smiling at him. His face darkened immediately, and he steeled himself to give Heaven Dou Academy a hard time in the group battle.

Their team's main hope lay in their seven-in-one fusion technique. But as his father had warned him, forcibly elevating one's soul power to the level needed for the true form of a spirit tool would place immense strain on his mental energy.

After all, activating the true form meant merging with his spirit entirely. With his current strength, forcing himself to use this technique might leave him mentally incapacitated.

But he was a disciple of Tang Sect in his previous life. Knowing that his mental power might not sustain the true form for long, he was prepared to use a soul-breaking pill he kept in his storage device. The pill would briefly boost his mental strength, though it would leave him with searing pain in his mental sea and render him unconscious for three days afterward. However, in this crucial moment, he was willing to overlook such consequences. After all, the concept of using external substances to boost strength was unknown in this world, so Spirit Hall would find no evidence.

At the Pope's Hall entrance, Bibi Dong spoke up, "I see hope in each of you. For this final match, I expect everyone to go all out. The winning team will receive the highest reward from Spirit Hall."

With a wave of her hand, three glowing objects materialized before her, floating in the air.

They were a right arm bone, a skull, and a left leg bone, each glowing in red, light blue, and dark green hues—three exceptionally rare spirit bones!

The crowd erupted instantly.

Many had only heard rumors that Spirit Hall would offer three spirit bones as the grand prize for the final match, but rumors were rumors. Many could see that the attributes of these spirit bones matched the talents of Spirit Hall's golden generation, suggesting they were predetermined rewards for them.

And back then, Spirit Hall hadn't expected a dark horse like Heaven Dou Academy. With Su Ming's overwhelming strength, most spectators now believed Heaven Dou had a strong chance of winning.

As for Thunder Academy, while they had a Spirit King, they were considered weaker than both Spirit Hall and Heaven Dou.

In truth, most people had figured out part of the truth. Bibi Dong herself felt cornered and, to keep Su Ming from seeing through her intentions, had to offer up these spirit bones she had initially earmarked for the golden generation. After seeing Su Ming's strength, she wanted to retract the rewards, knowing the golden generation would struggle against him. Su Ming's complete Susano'o could decimate a demigod-level entity like Yu Yuanzhen in one blow. Still, she was gambling that Su Ming wouldn't reveal such a trump card publicly, especially since Qian Renxue could now compete. This eased her concerns a bit.

Su Ming was surprised to see these familiar spirit bones offered after all. He had expected Bibi Dong to retract them. It seemed she had faith in Qian Renxue's strength.

Bibi Dong: Is it too late to pull them back?

Even from the base of the Pope's Mountain, people could see the three spirit bones glowing brightly. Few, besides those already aware of the prize, could have predicted Spirit Hall would offer such a treasure.

Even Spirit Hall insiders showed traces of greed in their eyes, let alone the other academy members.

Ghost Douluo then announced solemnly, "These spirit bones are the Wisdom Skull of Mental Condensation, the Flame Right Arm of Eruption, and the Gale Left Leg of Speed. All three are over ten thousand years old, with the Wisdom Skull surpassing fifty thousand years."

Tang San's gaze locked onto the Wisdom Skull, a spirit bone seemingly made for him. According to Ghost Douluo, it was one of the most powerful spirit bones, only second to hundred-thousand-year and external spirit bones, and Tang San felt an intense desire to possess it. However, knowing the strength of Spirit Hall and Heaven Dou, he worried. Still, remembering the final match format, perhaps he could collaborate with Heaven Dou Academy. But given Su Ming's character, this seemed unlikely—unless Spirit Hall's power far outmatched Thunder and Heaven Dou combined.

Shifting his gaze to Qian Renxue, Spirit Hall's newest team member, Tang San suspected she must be formidable.

Then, an idea struck Tang San. He whispered to Yu Xiaogang behind him, "Teacher, could you ask His Holiness who this new Spirit Hall member is? If she's strong enough, perhaps we could work with Heaven Dou."

Yu Xiaogang's lips twitched slightly. Had Tang San forgotten that Spirit Hall had severed his right arm?

Still, Yu Xiaogang knew his student wouldn't harm him. And in such a public setting, Bibi Dong wouldn't dare act against him—it would damage her reputation.

"Your Holiness, I have a question!" Yu Xiaogang's voice was cold. "Spirit Hall's lineup seems to have changed. Would you mind explaining this to us all?"

The crowd watched intently, amused and curious. They had indeed noticed the beautiful newcomer to Spirit Hall but had been too intimidated to inquire. Now, they had their spokesperson.

"How dare you speak to His Holiness that way!"

One of the red-clad bishops pointed at Yu Xiaogang, his voice stern, as he released a portion of his soul power in warning.

Boom!

Instantly, Yu Xiaogang collapsed to the ground, his face pale.

Even the bishop was shocked. What? Is he trying to fake an injury? He had only applied a slight pressure as a warning—how did this so-called "master" end up sprawled on the floor?
