Chapter 215: Qian Xunji Points His Sword at Bibi Dong
Heaven Dou Empire, grand arena. After fourteen days, all fourteen rounds of the promotion tournament had concluded. Qian Xunji had returned to Spirit Hall on the second day of the tournament.
Tianshui Academy remained undefeated—fourteen wins in fourteen matches. Out of all fifteen teams, they ranked first, achieving the best record in the Heaven Dou Empire division. In second place was the Heaven Dou Second Team, with thirteen consecutive wins after losing the opening match against Tianshui.
While the Tianshui team was celebrating, the Heaven Dou Second Team couldn't bring themselves to smile. In their very first match, they had been completely crushed in a 1v7.
Gu Chen clenched his fists in secret. Though they lost the promotion rounds, he believed the championship in Spirit City would belong to them. They still had their ultimate trump card—the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill. With it, he could break through to Soul Sage, and both his strongest spear and shield would be invincible.
Tang San also clenched his fists. In the upcoming individual semifinals, he would let Qian Renxue taste the might of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer. Right before Spirit Hall, he would declare: Angel Spirits are trash. His Clear Sky Hammer was the true peak of all spirits—forever number one.
Zhu Zhuqing's expression was lifeless. She could barely see a path forward. In her past life, when she faced Star Luo Royal Academy, she was already level 43. Now, despite her best efforts, she was only level 35. Dai Mubai was only level 42 and had been utterly crushed by Yu Tianxin, someone he had defeated in their past life.
Her disappointment in Dai Mubai was overwhelming. If only he had worked harder during their time in Soto City, and trained seriously under Tang Hao's guidance, he could've reached level 43 by now and avoided such humiliation.
Because of this deep disappointment, Zhu Zhuqing had never again let Dai Mubai get intimate with her.
Ning Rongrong, on the other hand, breathed a quiet sigh of relief. After learning she was Bibi Dong's daughter, she had felt like the sky was falling. Who would want to be the daughter of a madwoman like Bibi Dong? What if she destroyed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan like she did Spirit Hall? But fortunately, Bibi Dong was dead—or so she believed. That meant she had nothing to fear.
Qian Renxue didn't know what the Heaven Dou Second Team was thinking. He only took a deep breath, his eyes filled with nostalgia. He had been away from home for two and a half years—he wondered how Grandpa and his sister were doing.
After the matches ended, Emperor Xue Ye gave another passionate and motivational speech. The finals would soon begin—the real battle to determine the strongest academy on the continent.
As emperor, Xue Ye couldn't leave Heaven Dou City himself. At the end of his speech, he announced that Crown Prince Xue Luochuan would represent him as the empire's emissary and serve as a judge for the finals. The fifteen qualified teams from the Heaven Dou side would be personally accompanied by him to a city on the border of the two empires—where the finals would be held, hosted by Spirit Hall.
Teams were given just three days to rest. After that, the fifteen teams, their teachers, and a 500-man Royal Knight escort—over a thousand people—would depart for the finals in Spirit City.

Star Dou Forest
Using memories from her past life, Bibi Dong easily located the 100,000-year Purple-Winged Spider Emperor. With her Devourer Spider Emperor Spirit and its natural dominance, she swiftly hunted it down.
This soul beast had provided her, in her past life, with two powerful skills: Abyssal Slash of Spatial Tear and Eternal Wound.
The Abyssal Slash locked onto its target and could not miss. If it didn't kill the enemy, it would banish them to another dimension. It could also absorb death energy to boost its power. In the Battle of Jialing Pass, she had absorbed massive death aura from the battlefield to instantly kill a level-95 Demon Bear Douluo. Even Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body cracked under it.
Eternal Wound was even more terrifying—it bypassed all defense. Once hit, the wound would endlessly expand and could only be suppressed with soul power. Even a level-99 Title Douluo would eventually die of exhaustion.
Now, with thirteen soul rings total—two of them already at 100,000 years—Bibi Dong absorbed the Purple-Winged Spider Emperor's ring in just half an hour.
Her spirit power exploded like a geyser. With her two-year accumulation, three 70,000-year Demon Orca rings, and this new 100,000-year ring, she broke through to level 95—Super Douluo.
But she wasn't done yet. Her clothing tore open as three pairs of purple wings burst from her back—thin and translucent, each three meters long. These were her newly acquired external bone: the Six-Winged Violet Light Wings.
Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Lance Douluo turned away immediately to avoid offending the future Seagod successor. Even if she wasn't, they still wouldn't look—out of principle.
Bibi Dong opened her eyes and realized she was nude. She cursed under her breath—Seagod Island's clothing really didn't compare to Spirit Hall's. Seeing Sea Dragon and Sea Lance turned away, she still couldn't help but flash a cold, murderous glare.
Though they were weakened on land, their combat strength was still comparable to Dugu Bo. If not for how rare Title Douluo-level powerhouses were, and her need to face Sea Fantasy Douluo's illusions first, she would've killed them already. Once she finished off the Death Spider Emperor, she would do it—and just blame Spirit Hall to cover her tracks.
Dressed again, she rushed to the Death Spider Emperor's lair. Standing before a 50-meter rocky hill, she focused her soul power and slapped her palm out. The rocks trembled, a human-sized palm print appeared.
Then the entire mound shook violently. Giant rocks exploded as if being drilled apart from the inside.
BOOM!
A massive figure burst out—a spider with a body eight meters wide, covered in dark armor, and six spear-like legs over ten meters long. It was the 100,000-year Death Spider Emperor.
Sea Dragon and Sea Lance became alert. They also looked confused—how did Bibi Dong know where these rare soul beasts were hiding?
Bibi Dong's eyes gleamed with greed. She didn't summon her Devourer Spider Emperor this time, but her Rakshasa God Spirit. Two red, three black, five soul rings rose beneath her. Her monstrous appearance exuded a killing intent far more sinister than the spider before her.
Her first 100,000-year soul ring lit up.
This spider could resurrect. In her past life, even with Spirit Hall's help, she'd needed half a year to drain its soul power before finally killing it.
This time, she had no such time. With the Rakshasa God's first skill, she'd destroy it in one strike.

Spirit Hall
As Bibi Dong released a terrifyingly evil power through her 100,000-year ring, both Qian Xunji and Qian Daoliu turned toward Star Dou Forest. From that direction, they sensed an overwhelmingly repulsive energy—as if it were the natural nemesis of the Seraphim Spirit.
"After three years… Bibi Dong, you've returned."
A gleam of excitement flickered in Qian Xunji's eyes. His nine soul rings appeared: eight black, one red. His Seraphim Spirit activated, and he transformed into a golden meteor, shooting out of Spirit Hall toward Star Dou Forest.
