The commotion within the divine realm was unknown to the academy's higher-ups, who were kept out by the white mist.
They could only watch as the previously still white mist domain seemed to come to life again after a halftime break, like a greedy glutton expanding its territory. In just a few breaths, most of the academy's territory was shrouded in the white mist domain, sending chills down their spines.
"What exactly is this thing?"
"Director Li said that it was like a separate little world inside, with none of the original buildings gone, only a vast white space and a huge moon."
"It's starting to expand its territory again. If this continues, the entire academy will fall!"
"Where are the students? Have they all been evacuated?"
"They've evacuated. The library has already dispatched trusted Soul Masters to transport the items using Soul Guidance Devices."
"Has the Spirit Hall not sent anyone to handle this yet?"
"It should be on its way."
The anxious academy leaders watched with heartache as the divine realm expanded its territory. Some cursed aloud, vowing to teach the culprits who launched this terrorist attack a lesson.
They are about to face the wrath of the entire Spirit Hall!
Achoo!
Qian Yuelong, at the center of the divine realm, sneezed.
886 let out a soft "Huh?": "You can catch a cold?"
Having a clear understanding of herself, Qian Yuelong's gaze flickered for a moment. "Ah, this... is probably because I opened my eyes again."
To be fair, her eyesight hasn't reached its limit yet; she can see even further. She might just be able to pull the entire mountain into the realm of gods.
I'm sorry I haven't mastered how to control the size of the divine realm yet; she'll do it as soon as possible.
Feeling guilty for two seconds, Qian Yuelong continued to tinker with the power of the divine realm.
Meanwhile, Hu Liena, who had arrived at the Martial Soul Holy City after spending more than ten minutes with her agility-based instructor, took out the notes that Bibi Dong had once given her. By revealing her identity as a disciple, she avoided the tedious reporting process and passed through the green light without any obstacles, arriving at the majestic Papal Palace.
The paladin, clad in mithril armor, held a spear in one hand and lightly placed the other on the heavy paladin door. With a forceful push from his cold armor, he opened the door to the Papal Palace for Hu Liena.
"teacher!"
The person arrived before the voice.
Standing on the steps below the Pope's throne, Yue Guan and Gui Mei glanced sideways at the little guy who had barged in.
Hu Liena paused in her panic when she met the three intimidating gazes, stopped in her tracks, and became more restrained, but the anxiety on her face was still impossible to hide.
"Elder Gui, Elder Ju, my apologies."
Ghostly and Moon Observer, who had a good impression of Hu Liena, showed no sign of being offended.
"Nana, why are you back?"
Golden sunlight streamed in through the slender, willow-leaf windows diagonally above the papal throne, the stained glass inlaid with the sunlight rendering it into a kaleidoscope of colors. The radiating light fell upon Bibi Dong, who wore a long, shimmering gold gown, bathing her slender and graceful figure in a dazzling glow and exuding a sacred and majestic beauty.
Hu Liena cut to the chase: "Teacher, something's happened at the academy!"
"Oh?" Bibi Dong's composed gaze sharpened, a hint of cunning appearing in it. "What's going on?"
Most of the promising students recruited by the Spirit Hall Academy this year are from the Elite Gathering Program, so we can't afford any trouble!
Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance, the former's expression somewhat subtle.
From the college
He remembered that his disciple who had acted first and reported later, and who only dared to leave him a letter before running away, was also at the Spirit Hall Academy, right?
Hearing the Pope's disciple say this again, he had a bad feeling for some reason.
Then, Hu Liena told Bibi Dong what she had seen and heard, adding, "The teachers from the academy should have sent someone to inform us of this matter beforehand, but you told me before that while the identity of a disciple is useful, they cannot be completely trusted. So, I asked a teacher from the agility attack department to bring me back with me."
At this point, Hu Liena felt a little uneasy. "Teacher, although my brother, Yan, and I are alright, it seems that some of my other classmates from the elite class who came out of the training camp were also caught in that strange white mist. I'm afraid that something else might happen, so I'd like to ask you to come over in person. Teacher, do you think I'm making a mountain out of a molehill?"
She did not mention the specific list of people involved, such as Qian Yuelong.
First, while Qian Yuelong is indeed outstanding, she is ultimately not one of those who, like them, have long sworn allegiance to their teacher.
Secondly, there must be some people who have already completed the introductory training of the Body Tempering Method and are thinking of skipping the medicinal bath and going straight to the advanced simulated environment training room. What if, besides Qian Yuelong, there are other "lucky ones" who win the lottery?
Hu Liena felt conflicted as she kept something from her teacher for the first time, and she also offered a small apology for her teacher's expectations.
I'm sorry to those I trained with.
Compared to those of you who betrayed me, Yuelong, who is sincere and kind to me, is more important!
Bibi Dong, who hadn't actually received the message, frowned slightly. "No, Nana, you did very well."
Yue Guan let out a barely perceptible sneer, his face revealing a mocking expression.
This isn't directed at Hu Liena, but at the idiots who kept this important news a secret.
With a flick of his eyelids, Ghostly could guess, even with a shred of sense, why the report hadn't reached His Holiness the Pope.
It's nothing more than some old-timers inside the organization fearing punishment from His Holiness the Pope for their incompetence, so they kept this news to themselves, intending to handle it themselves. If they handled it well, they would pretend nothing happened; if they handled it poorly, they would report it back to His Holiness the Pope and let him clean up the mess.
—It seems her deterrent effect isn't quite enough.
Bibi Dong concealed the cold light in her eyes, rose from the papal throne, and with just a step forward, stood beside Hu Liena in the middle of the hall from the papal throne, which was more than ten meters away, with one hand gently placed on her shoulder.
Hu Liena felt a suction force spreading from her shoulders throughout her body; the teacher's hand was like a magnet, holding her firmly in place.
"Walk."
As Bibi Dong finished speaking casually, the whistling wind rushed into her ears, and her shoulder-length wheat-yellow hair was immediately blown about by the gale.
The magnificent and bustling Martial Soul Holy City gradually shrank into a black dot in his pupils. At the speed of a Title Douluo, it would only take four or five minutes to travel from the Martial Soul Holy City to the Martial Soul Hall Academy.
The cardinal, who had left the city a little earlier but not much faster than Hu Liena and the others, spread his wings with a grim expression and hovered in mid-air. Looking at the academy that the Spirit Hall had painstakingly built, which was further encroaching upon their territory, his kind face twisted into a ferocious expression. He sternly shouted at the dean of the Spirit Hall Academy, "Why are you only reporting such a serious matter now?!"
The dean, forced to take the blame, defended himself, saying, "It's not that I reported it late, sir! This strange white mist domain is expanding too fast! From the time it was discovered until now, it's only been the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Sir, may I ask which elder His Holiness the Pope sent? If no Title Douluo intervenes, the academy will be completely finished!"
He didn't report it to Bibi Dong or the cardinal in the Elder Council, and his face became even more ferocious.
How could he have known it would be this serious!
