The group from the Spirit Hall walked out of the gate of the Glazed Heaven.

Ju Douluo Yueguan could not hold back any longer and moved closer to Bibi Dong, lowering his voice.

"Your Holiness, are we just going to let this matter go like this?"

Demon Bear Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo also cast inquiring glances, equally unable to understand why His Holiness the Pope had suddenly reached a reconciliation and remained so calm.

Bibi Dong continued walking, releasing all the soul power within her body without reservation.

Yue Guan's expression changed drastically, and he even staggered.

Demon Bear Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Level 96!"

The voice of Demon Bear Douluo trembled.

"Your Holiness, you...you've actually broken through to level ninety-six?"

Ghost Leopard Douluo also gasped in shock.

"But you only broke through to level 95 last year!"

"You should know that among Title Douluo, the gap between level 94 and 95 is a formidable barrier, and very few can cross it. The gap between level 95 and 96 is even more difficult!"

"Even those enshrined figures in the Hall of Offerings, didn't it take them ten or even several decades to get promoted?!"

Bibi Dong finally stopped, turned her head to the side, and looked calm.

"Of course, we can't just let it go like that."

She withdrew her soul power pressure.

"Otherwise, how do you think I increased my soul power to this level?"

These words left the three of them even more bewildered.

Yue Guan forgot to close her mouth.

"You mean... that Ning Liu has a way to directly increase the soul power of a Title Douluo?"

"How...how could such a thing exist in this world!"

Bibi Dong didn't explain further, but simply said coldly.

"This person must not be offended!"

"As for Ghost, he devoted his life to the Spirit Hall. Let him be buried with the highest honors for the fallen elders of the hall."

Despite their many doubts, the three titled Douluo had no choice but to believe it at this moment.

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope."

Bibi Dong started walking again and spoke.

"All three of you will come with me to tonight's auction."

“Previously, you were either on missions or cultivating in the palace. There are many things you didn’t know!”

...

On the other side, in the secret chamber of Liulitian.

Li An stood respectfully in front of Ning Liu, holding a thick ledger in his hands.

"My lord, the spoils from the Xuan Shui Sect trip have all been tallied. The list of items to be auctioned in this event is as follows."

He opened the ledger and began his report.

"Xuan Yi, Sect Master of Xuan Shui Sect, Level 93 Title Douluo, Xuanming Turtle Martial Soul, starting bid..."

"The three elders of the Xuan Shui Sect are respectively an 84th-level Soul Douluo, an 80th-level..."

"......."

Ning Liu listened and then nodded.

"Can."

"Did those members of the Xuan Shui Sect who wanted to go up on the auction stage all swear an oath with their martial spirits, agreeing to serve the winner?"

"If anyone is unwilling, just send them on their way. Don't let them turn on their master after being sold, thus tarnishing the reputation of our Liuli Heaven."

Upon hearing this, Ang Lee's face showed a hint of disdain.

"Rest assured, my lord."

"These people are all spineless. They're overjoyed to hear there's still a way out. They're all more cooperative than anyone else and have already sworn a blood oath with their martial souls."

Ning Liu hummed in agreement, then casually took out a spatial storage soul tool and tossed it to Li An.

"Here are three other items, as well as tonight's grand finale."

"Go and make the arrangements."

"Yes, my lord!"

Li An accepted the soul tool and respectfully withdrew.

...

As night fell, the Soto City Glass Auction House remained bustling with activity and lively conversation.

Several people dressed in ordinary merchant clothes, with their faces covered by veils, followed the crowd and entered the auction house inconspicuously. They were then led by a waiter to a VIP room that had been reserved in advance.

The door was closed, shutting out all the noise from the outside world.

The leader ripped off his veil, revealing a head of brilliant blond hair and a pair of sinister eyes. He was none other than Dai Mubai, the second prince of the Star Luo Empire!

"Hahaha!"

Dai Mubai made no attempt to hide his excitement and plopped down on the soft sofa.

"This auction is truly my lucky place!"

"Previously, I was still receiving my elder brother's 'gift' and didn't have time to participate, missing the last auction. I never expected that this time, there would be such an astonishing auction item!"

One of his aides immediately smiled obsequiously.

"Your Highness the Second Prince is incredibly fortunate! If you can acquire the Xuan Shui Sect Master, he will become a living Title Douluo!"

"At that time, your position in the Star Luo Empire will be truly unshakeable!"

The other person echoed this.

"Exactly!"

"The Zhu family has always been indecisive, wavering between you and Crown Prince Davis, hedging their bets. They were even more entangled in the matter of Zhu Zhuqing breaking off the engagement..."

"If you had another Title Douluo under your command, how would they dare to have any other thoughts? They would probably be begging for your forgiveness!"

"Hmph, the Zhu family..."

A fierce glint flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes, which then turned into smugness as he thought to himself.

"If Zhu Zhuqing knew about my current situation, she would probably regret it immensely!"

The aide who spoke first spoke again.

"His Majesty has also broken through to level ninety in soul power and is currently hunting soul beasts in the Starfall Forest. We await His Majesty's return after successfully absorbing his ninth soul ring..."
