After the blinding white light faded, Jiang Xiaofeng could finally see again.
When he regained his sight, Jiang Xiaofeng saw that the entrance to the Spirit Hall was in ruins, and the once-noble angel statue was broken in half.
Bibi Dong stood before Jiang Xiaofeng.
"Xiaofeng, are you alright?"
Jiang Xiaofeng shook his head. "I'm fine, but why did you stop me, teacher?"
Bibi Dong said, a little annoyed, "That 100,000-year-old soul beast... I planned to capture it and keep it alive. Then, when you become a Title Douluo, you could kill it and use its soul ring! But you, you wanted to save it? Could it be because she's pretty?"
Jiang Xiaofeng was a little stunned. He hadn't expected Bibi Dong to be looking out for him.
Jiang Xiaofeng said with a smile, "She is indeed a little cute, but compared to you, Teacher, she's far behind. In my heart, you are the most beautiful!"
"Hmph, stop sweet-talking me. Although I don't know what your relationship is with her, I don't understand your impulse to save her, so you have to explain yourself clearly!"
Looking at the somewhat angry Bibi Dong, Jiang Xiaofeng didn't find her scary. Instead, he found a different kind of charm.
"At first, I just thought she was different from ordinary people! There was a very strange aura on her, which I could feel. Later, I realized it was the aura of a soul beast, and she was actually a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast! I didn't make a move for the reason you think. I was afraid you would kill her on the spot. I wanted to capture her and study her properly. After all, she's a human-shaped soul beast, which has extremely high research value!"
Hu Liena, standing beside Jiang Xiaofeng, finally understood that Jiang Xiaofeng had gone to find Xiao Wu because he thought she was suspicious. It seemed she had misunderstood him.
"Brother Feng, I misunderstood you?"
Jiang Xiaofeng looked at Hu Liena beside him, puzzled. "What did you misunderstand? I don't know what you've done?"
Hu Liena: "..."
Bibi Dong: "..."
Bibi Dong: "If you wanted to research this, you should have said so earlier! I was worried about you. This place is already a mess. Come with me!"
Afterward, the rest of Spirit Hall took over the scene. Bibi Dong paid no attention to Yu Xiaogang and the others, letting them leave directly.
After all, Shrek Academy, despite being the runner-up in the tournament, could be justified in capturing a soul beast. However, the others were normal humans, and Spirit Hall had no reason to detain them. Furthermore, there were two Title Douluo present.
As for Tang San and Xiao Wu, they had vanished without a trace after that flash of white light.
Outside Spirit Hall, Liu Erlong looked worried. Although she had only just learned that her adopted daughter was a 100,000-year-old soul beast, they had been together for so long that she had already formed a deep bond.
"Xiaogang, do you think Xiao Wu will be alright? And Tang Hao is Tang San's father, why didn't you tell us sooner?"
Yu Xiaogang shook his head helplessly, saying, "This is his father's intention. Don't worry, Tang San's father wouldn't harm Xiao Wu. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come looking for them in the first place. Fortunately, Tang Hao appeared, or Xiao Wu might really have died here today. It's just that Xiao Wu has been with us for so long, and we didn't realize she was a soul beast!"
Liu Erlong immediately twisted Yu Xiaogang's ear.
"Are you trying to die? That's my goddaughter! Are you still thinking about her soul ring? Even if she's a soul beast, so what? Haven't you seen the relationship between her and Tang San?"
Yu Xiaogang didn't speak, just felt a little regretful. After all, that was a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
Inside the Spirit Hall's Pope's Hall.
Bibi Dong sat on the throne, looking at her proud disciples.
"You did very well this time. Although there were some mistakes in the end, you didn't disappoint me. So, I plan to give you a vacation, a month of free rest, how does that sound?"
Jiang Xiaofeng shook his head, saying, "Teacher, I want to go to the City of Slaughter!"
Jiang Xiaofeng's words immediately caused everyone present to react strongly, even Bibi Dong frowned.
Bibi Dong hadn't expected Jiang Xiaofeng to say such a thing at this moment. Wasn't he making things difficult for her?
Hu Liena, standing beside Jiang Xiaofeng, tugged at his clothes and said, "Brother Feng, you can't possibly not know what the City of Slaughter is, right? It's a terrifying place. The people there are all desperate criminals. The most critical thing is that you can't use your soul power or soul skills within the City of Slaughter. If you want to train, the City of Slaughter isn't a good choice!"
Xie Yue said, "Brother Feng, my sister is right. The City of Slaughter isn't a good place for training. We can choose somewhere else!"
Jiang Xiaofeng, however, shook his head. He still vaguely remembered what Bibi Dong had told him.
"Because you are still too weak. When you are strong enough, you will naturally understand!"
It was precisely because of this sentence that Jiang Xiaofeng decided he must go to the special place that was the City of Slaughter.
Since he couldn't use his soul power, it would be a better opportunity for Jiang Xiaofeng to train his abilities, especially his Indying Body technique.
"You don't need to persuade me. I've made up my mind. I'm going to the City of Slaughter, that's for sure. You guys enjoy your vacation and don't worry about me!"
However, at this moment, Hu Liena stepped forward.
"Teacher, I'm going to the City of Slaughter with Brother Feng!"
Bibi Dong said sternly, "Nonsense! Don't you know what kind of place the City of Slaughter is? It's fine for Xiaofeng to go, but why are you joining in, Nana?"
Hu Liena said somewhat unconvinced, "Teacher, you should know my abilities. I'm not weak. Even in the City of Slaughter, I won't die!"
Bibi Dong, of course, knew how strong Hu Liena was, but a place like the City of Slaughter, filled with unknowns, wasn't somewhere you could just come and go as you pleased.
Jiang Xiaofeng looked at Hu Liena, not expecting her to want to go to the City of Slaughter with him. Although it seemed like a large part of it was to keep an eye on him, as a companion, Jiang Xiaofeng still didn't want her to go to such a dangerous place.
"Nana, you don't have to go. You can go with Xie Yue and the others to train in other places. We can arrange a time to meet again!"
Hu Liena shook her head and said, "Before you appeared, I was known as the number one genius of Spirit Hall. But after you showed up, you took that title from me. I was actually considering going to the City of Slaughter before, I just didn't expect you to bring it up. I want to surpass you, and the City of Slaughter is the place most likely to make me succeed. So, Teacher, please agree! Even if you don't, I'll go secretly!"
Bibi Dong looked troubled.
This is just making things difficult for me!
"Are you all trying to anger me? You can go train in other places, and I can send people to protect you. But I can't send anyone to protect you in the City of Slaughter. If something happens to you, what am I, your teacher, supposed to do?"
Jiang Xiaofeng said, "Teacher, don't worry. Nana will be with me, and I'll definitely protect her. If Nana wants to go, then let's go together. I also want to see how amazing that place really is!"
Bibi Dong shook her head helplessly.
"We'll talk about this later. Go back and rest first. I'll think about it!"
Bibi Dong didn't give them an immediate answer. After all, these were her most outstanding disciples, and she didn't want Jiang Xiaofeng and Hu Liena to face any uncontrollable dangers.
