Douluo; Zhongli Adventures in Mortal World with Paimon

"Today, I have called you here to give you some instructions."

As soon as Bibi Dong finished speaking, Hu Liena and the other two quickly cupped their hands and listened attentively.

"In this All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, you have almost no chance!"

Standing on the high platform, Bibi Dong said with an unchanged expression, "Therefore, the elders have no expectations for you to win the championship."

Not to mention the elders, even she herself had no such expectations.

She had been secretly observing the younger generation of the Body Sect, and even she couldn't help but be amazed.

Compared to Hu Liena and the others, the young disciples of the Body Sect were the true golden generation!

Each of them had the potential to attain the Title Douluo rank!

They even had the potential to reach beyond Rank 96, who knew how Zhongli managed to train them?

Despite such intense training, these disciples did not suffer any bodily harm. Instead, their blood and energy seemed as powerful as that of dragons.

If a "Fallen One" who devours blood and energy were to see these Body Sect Sect disciples, they would probably be ecstatic.

Of course, that is if the Fallen One could even defeat them.

Many times, Bibi Dong felt that these Body Sect Sect disciples were even crazier than the Fallen Ones…

Hu Liena and the others: "…"

They already knew it, but saying it outright was too much of a blow to their self-esteem.

They were supposed to be the golden generation!

As if she had thought of something, Hu Liena said hesitantly, "Teacher, I have a martial soul fusion technique with Xie Yue…"

Before she could finish, Bibi Dong waved her hand and bluntly said, "It's useless. The opponents you will face are likely to be teams where every member is a Soul King, including at least one Soul Emperor!"

She had already investigated long ago.

Who knew if those lunatics had gotten even stronger in this period?

For Bibi Dong, a lunatic herself, to call someone else a lunatic, it meant that the Body Sect disciples were truly insane.

And this was still considered relatively "normal." The Body Sect thousands of years later was even crazier, acting purely based on individual personality.

They had even dug tunnels under imperial palaces…

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena and the others twitched at the corners of their eyes.

An entire team of Soul Kings?

And at least one Soul Emperor?

Alright… that was about what they had guessed.

The three of them lowered their heads, feeling dejected.

"To prevent you from losing too badly, I will privately grant you some rewards."

After all, she was going to give these out eventually, it was better to let them fuse with them sooner.

Their eyes lit up, and hope reignited in their gazes.

With a casual wave of her hand, three soul bones radiating treasure-like light flew out from Bibi Dong's soul tool.

"These three soul bones are part of an agreement I made with the Martial God. This agreement cannot be violated or altered."

She had discussed this matter with Zhongli when she met him before. Since it had already been agreed upon, it could not be changed.

Before that conversation, she had never imagined that the disciples of the Body Sect would be this powerful!

That conversation had essentially put her and Hu Liena's group in a tough spot.

If it weren't for the prior agreement, she would never have given these three soul bones away.

The soul bones she was giving them now, in terms of both quality and years, were far inferior to the three originally promised.

Even though all three were ten-thousand-year soul bones, there were differences in quality. Those three were high-grade pieces, while only the headpiece among these three could be considered high-grade.

Compared to the championship reward, even this headpiece was far inferior.

"This head soul bone is something I acquired during my youth while traveling. It is my personal belonging," Bibi Dong said as she glanced at the floating head soul bone, a hint of nostalgia flashing in her eyes.

Of course, this memory had nothing to do with Yu Xiaogang.

The three fell into deep thought.

They never expected Bibi Dong to give them soul bones, especially when they had been deemed "useless."

After a brief moment, Bibi Dong waved her hand, sending the soul bone towards Hu Liena and said, "Nana, this soul bone is for you."

Even though she had anticipated it, Hu Liena was still overjoyed.

This was a gift from her teacher!

However, it was far too precious, making her hesitant to accept it.

"Nana, Her Holiness is giving it to you—just accept it," Xie Yue quickly reminded her.

Had they not already owed the Spirit Hall enough?

From the moment they were born, everything they ate, wore, and used was provided by the Spirit Hall.

They already owed too much, what was one more debt?

Besides, both Xie Yue and Yan were determined to remain loyal to the Spirit Hall for life.

Only their "sister" was different. She had the best privileges, the best treatment… yet in the end, she would betray it all for love.

Of course, that had not happened yet. She was not a traitor yet.

After hearing Xie Yue's words, Hu Liena snapped out of it, quickly accepted the soul bone, and respectfully said, "Thank you, Teacher!"

Seeing that Hu Liena had accepted it, Bibi Dong nodded and continued, "As for these two soul bones, they were taken from the Spirit Hall's treasury."

"Xie Yue, Yan, in the future, you must return a soul bone or make a contribution to the Spirit Hall to repay this debt."

Taking these two soul bones was not without cost.

However, to Xie Yue and Yan, this was not a price at all. They would live and die as people of the Spirit Hall.

Without hesitation, the two immediately accepted the soul bones.

"The reason I am giving you these soul bones in advance is not so you can go head-to-head with those lunatics from the Body Sect."

"???"

The three, having just accepted their soul bones, were confused.

If they weren't meant to fight those lunatics, then why were they receiving the soul bones now?

"Apart from the Heaven Dou Royal Team, you have two other formidable opponents!"

Bibi Dong then explained the situation regarding Duguyan and Tang San.

Both of these Soul Kings were highly unusual, especially Tang San!

With his Clear Sky Hammer and a soul ring combination of four purples and one black, he was not to be underestimated!

As for Duguyan, they just needed to be slightly cautious of her fifth soul skill.

If this skill had not yet been revealed, it could serve as a trump card.

But since it had already been exposed, its weaknesses could be targeted to greatly reduce her combat effectiveness.

This demonstrated the importance of intelligence on soul masters.

"Take second place first, then go and test them out, I have no objections."

Now that Bibi Dong had laid everything out so clearly, if Hu Liena and the others still didn't understand, they would truly be fools.

"Teacher, we understand!"

"But, Your Holiness, what if we face the Heaven Dou Royal early?"

The lottery draw was entirely random. They had no way of controlling it!

Bibi Dong frowned slightly, her delicate brows furrowing in thought.

That man was extremely strict about "honesty," which he called contracts.

If she used tricks to manipulate the draw, he would likely be displeased.

"In that case… it just means you're unlucky."
