"..."
Yu Xiaogang was speechless. What the hell is going on? I clearly taught him the powerful Sunflower Manual. Why did he end up turning into an ugly toad?
Perplexed, Yu Xiaogang walked over to Tang San, helping him up.
"Xiao San, are you alright? Didn't I ask you to cultivate the Sunflower Manual before?"
Yu Xiaogang asked, clearly confused. "My Sunflower Manual is so powerful—how did you turn into a toad?"
"I... Godmother... didn't you give me the Toad Skill?"Tang San even pulled out the secret manual and handed it to Yu Xiaogang.
When Yu Xiaogang saw the three big characters Toad Skill, his eyes nearly popped out of his head.
He looked like he'd seen a ghost.
Never in a million years did he imagine the Sunflower Manual he gave Tang San had somehow become Toad Skill. It made him feel like he was going crazy.
"..."
Yu Xiaogang stared at the Toad Skill speechlessly. No wonder Tang San was acting so weird.
This was completely beyond his comprehension.
"You guys from Blue Star Academy came to be clowns, didn't you?"
Dai Weisi looked at Zhang Fan and the others with contempt.
"Is that so?"
With a mere thought, Zhang Fan changed the weather—"RUMBLE..." The skies shifted as he stood holding a longsword wreathed in purple lightning. The sight alone was intimidating.
Everyone's gaze locked onto the terrifying and dazzling sword in Zhang Fan's hand.
Exclamations broke out from the crowd.
Those with weapon-type martial spirits felt their own spirits trembling.
It showed just how powerful Zhang Fan's spirit truly was.
"WHOOSH..."
He suddenly vanished into thin air.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing disappeared at the same time.
With Ning Rongrong's support, their soul power, speed, and strength had increased significantly.
"Huh..."Dai Weisi and the others froze. They hadn't expected three people to vanish out of nowhere.
"Ah!"
Dai Weisi's expression turned serious. His entire body radiated a powerful aura. He activated White Tiger Vajra Transformation, and his soul power surged outward.
"CLANG!"
A terrifying sword aura suddenly appeared in front of Dai Weisi.
"What the hell?!"
He didn't expect those three from Blue Star Academy to be this bizarre—appearing and disappearing at will.
It made defending nearly impossible.
They didn't even know where the attacks would come from.
"BOOM..."He used every bit of his power to block Zhang Fan's strike—but found that against that sword aura, his all-out defense was fragile as paper.
"PUFF..."He was slashed and sent flying.
"BOOM..."At the same time, five crescent-shaped blades appeared behind Zhu Zhuyun.
Zhu Zhuqing attacked from the front, unleashing Nether Hundred Claws.
"SLASH SLASH..."
Zhu Zhuyun, caught between a pincer attack, panicked on the spot.
"BANG!"
She barely blocked the attack from behind, but Zhu Zhuqing's frontal strike landed directly on her.
"BOOM..."Zhu Zhuyun was sent flying.
"NO!"
Seeing Zhu Zhuyun get blasted away, Dai Weisi, already airborne, roared in unwillingness. He couldn't believe what was happening.
Defeated? Just like that?
He was utterly unwilling.
He thought their team, as the seeded team from Star Luo Academy, should easily defeat Blue Star Academy, which wasn't even a seeded team from the Heaven Dou Empire.So how had they been crushed this quickly?
"BANG BANG..."
Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun were thrown off the arena.
No one saw this coming.
"Whoa... was the power gap really that big?"
"Setting aside the clownish Tang San, the rest of Blue Star Academy is monstrous. With the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support, they're terrifying!"
"Yeah, especially their captain—he didn't even use soul rings. Just his sword technique and martial spirit were enough to defeat Dai Weisi!"
Meanwhile, up on a balcony of the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong was holding her scepter, watching Zhang Fan's performance, her eyes filled with affection.
She was very satisfied with what she saw.
She thought to herself, This young man is not only handsome but mysterious. Without even using soul rings or skills, he defeated the opponent's captain with just sword techniques and martial spirit.
She hadn't expected it at all.
Of course, she also noticed Yu Xiaogang—that guy in a red robe, oozing with feminine energy and disgusting as ever.
She didn't expect Yu Xiaogang to show up in Spirit City again.
But she had no intention of killing him.
Soon, Blue Star Academy claimed victory with ease.
Tang San's comedic antics contrasted sharply with the rest of the team's strength.
It made Tang San want to crawl into a hole and disappear.While everyone else had their moment of glory, Tang San was the one who embarrassed himself the most.
Watching from the shadows, even Tang Hao rubbed his forehead helplessly, nearly going down there to slap his own son. What a disgrace to the Tang family name!
As Zhang Fan and his team stepped down from the stage, a red-robed bishop approached him.
"Greetings. His Holiness the Pope wishes to see you."
The bishop respectfully transmitted the message to Zhang Fan.
"Oh? Lead the way."
Zhang Fan was surprised Bibi Dong wanted to see him at this moment.
That was unexpected.
In front of a luxurious private chamber, a red-robed bishop stood by. Another bishop who led Zhang Fan there opened the door and bowed slightly.
"Please."
Zhang Fan walked in as the door closed behind him.
Inside, a graceful figure stood by the window in a flowing white gown, her back to him, gazing out at the view.
Her long hair cascaded to her waist, her skirt fluttering in the breeze.
She looked breathtakingly beautiful. A faint fragrance filled the room.
She was stunning.
"You're here."
Bibi Dong's gentle voice rang out—crisp and moving.
"Greetings—"Zhang Fan was about to bow.
But Bibi Dong flashed over and held him up.
"No need for formalities."Bibi Dong held Zhang Fan's hand.
It felt warm—like an electric jolt.
Her eyes were full of tenderness.
"It's been a while."
Looking at the youth who now stood a full head taller than her, so handsome and mysterious, she recalled his performance on the arena stage.
He was dazzling, charming, and magnetic.
"Yes, ever since we parted in Star Dou Forest, I didn't expect it would take this long to meet again."
Looking into Bibi Dong's flawless face, their eyes met briefly. But she looked away almost instantly.
She really wanted to hug him.
But she was the Pope. Hugging someone out of nowhere might be too abrupt.
After all, they had only met twice before.
Yet, the first time she saw this youth, she had fallen in love.
The feeling was ineffable.
"Fate has a funny way of bringing people together," said Bibi Dong, looking at Zhang Fan.
"Hmm, then how about we hug for fate's sake?"Zhang Fan opened his arms with a smile.
"SWOOSH..."Without saying a word, Bibi Dong appeared in front of him and embraced him tightly.
Feeling the warmth of the embrace, Zhang Fan was quite pleased.
Bibi Dong's figure was truly... exceptional.
It made him feel very comfortable.
And Bibi Dong was satisfied as well.
