Faced with Tang San's questioning.
Bibi Dong, Salas, as well as Ju and Gui, all fell silent.
They could not refute him.
They could not target the person he pointed out.
Since he was a child, Jin Mian had never paid any heed to Spirit Hall's orders.
In the past two years, he would even directly refute some of the topics proposed by the Supreme Pontiff in front of many Elders.
This made Bibi Dong quite furious.
But because the strength of the Hall of Worship had increased by several levels over the past few years.
No matter how great her anger.
She could only suppress it.
Otherwise.
Once those old fellows caused some trouble for her.
It would be enough to give her a headache for a long time.
Not long ago, because she had made things difficult for Jin Mian.
By modifying the rules.
Making it impossible for him to participate in the competition in Spirit City.
Afterward.
The Hall of Worship's countermeasure arrived.
To improve the strength of the Golden Generation.
Bibi Dong originally wanted to give the three ten thousand year spirit bones—the rewards for this competition—
To the three of them.
Especially that fifty thousand year head spirit bone.
It originally belonged to Qian Xunji.
But after Qian Xunji's death, this Spirit Bone had been kept in the treasury.
She wanted to give this head Spirit Bone to Hu Liena.
But she was blocked by the Hall of Worship.
The High Priest didn't waste any words.
He directly told Bibi Dong that the Golden Generation was not yet qualified to obtain these three Spirit Bones.
If they really wanted them.
Unless they could prove they had that qualification.
Helpless.
Bibi Dong could only set these three Spirit Bones as the prizes for the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament.
Jin Mian heard Tang San's words.
He gave a cold laugh.
He pulled over two chairs from somewhere.
Then he and Ye Lingling sat down directly.
This scene left everyone dumbfounded!
What a guy.
The Supreme Pontiff is still standing up there.
Yet you sat down first.
In the VIP judging seats.
Ning Fengzhi had a look of surprise.
To actually dare to ignore the Supreme Pontiff in front of so many people.
And sit down on his own.
This made him even more curious about Jin Mian's identity.
During these past three days.
He had mobilized all the secret agents planted in Spirit City to investigate the identities of Jin Mian and his teammate.
But the final result was only that.
The two were ordinary students of Spirit Hall Academy.
Able to have the Third Consecrated Elder of the Hall of Worship personally come to fetch them?
With strength powerful to an unbelievable degree.
And you tell me these are ordinary students?
Like hell anyone would believe that.
On the high platform.
Bibi Dong looked at the seated Jin Mian.
She also felt momentarily speechless.
Fine, fine, fine.
This boy is truly showing less and less respect for me as the Supreme Pontiff.
Under the watchful eyes of the public.
I haven't even sat down yet, but you sat down first.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.
The hand gripping the scepter, because it was using too much force,
Had already turned purple.
After a long while.
Bibi Dong said softly, "No matter. This is not an imperial palace, and I am not an emperor; there are not so many rules."
"From you all, I see hope. Before the Supreme Pontiff Palace, I hope even more to see all of your talent and strength. The victors will receive three ten thousand year spirit bones."
Subsequently, Bibi Dong waved her scepter.
Three ten thousand year spirit bones floated in mid-air.
This inevitably caused a commotion among the Spirit Masters below.
After all, among all previous competitions, the rewards for this one were the most generous.
Before everyone could look away.
The giant Angel God Statue standing on the competition grounds emitted a glow.
Following that.
Qian Daoliu, following the direction of the holy light's radiance,
Slowly landed on the high platform.
Jin Mian and Ye Lingling stood up from their chairs at the appropriate time.
Seeing Qian Daoliu arrive, Bibi Dong frowned and questioned, "Qian Daoliu, why aren't you staying in the Hall of Worship? What are you doing here?"
"Bibi Dong, you have no right to question what I want to do," Qian Daoliu said in an unceremonious tone.
Bibi Dong's expression was grim as she gritted her teeth and said, "Qian Daoliu, I advise you not to cause any trouble today. Don't forget that today is the finals of the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament."
"If something happens to the competition, Spirit Hall's credibility in the eyes of the world will..."
Before she could finish.
Qian Daoliu chuckled. " I'm not that bored. On the contrary, I am here to watch the match and, incidentally, add some rewards to the competition."
"Watch the match? Rewards?" Bibi Dong was puzzled.
One must know.
Since the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament began being held.
Qian Daoliu had never paid it any mind.
But today, he not only personally appeared at the competition site to watch the match.
But also wanted to add prizes.
This was truly too abnormal.
Qian Daoliu no longer paid attention to Bibi Dong.
He flicked his finger.
Four ten thousand year spirit bones floated in mid-air.
Everyone present widened their eyes.
They stared straight ahead.
A thought rose collectively in their hearts.
This Hall of Worship is too wealthy; four ten thousand year spirit bones, they just bring them out as prizes just like that.
Many people watching the match felt some regret.
Regret that they could not participate in this year's competition.
More importantly.
Counting the previous three Spirit Bones, the prizes for this competition were actually a full set of Spirit Bones.
And they were all ten thousand year ones.
Greed arose in the hearts of many Spirit Masters.
They intended to rush forward and snatch these ten thousand year spirit bones away.
But they quickly calmed down.
Thinking that this was Spirit City, the territory of Spirit Hall.
Snatching things on someone else's turf.
They must be tired of living.
"Four ten thousand year spirit bones?!"
"You..."
Bibi Dong was also shocked into speechlessness by this extravagant move.
Qian Daoliu said indifferently, "Recently, while cleaning the Hall of Worship, I unintentionally turned up four Spirit Bones that weren't of much use. Adhering to the principle of not letting them go to waste, I brought them over as competition rewards."
Cleaning the Hall of Worship?
Unintentionally finding four ten thousand year spirit bones.
And even adhering to the principle of not wasting, bringing them out as rewards.
Bibi Dong had a face of disbelief.
After all, when she previously wanted to give three Spirit Bones to the Golden Generation.
Those old fellows from the Hall of Worship had blocked her in every way.
Now, for the sake of the competition, they brought out four Spirit Bones as rewards.
Who would believe that.
But she still said with a smile, "Many thanks to the High Priest for placing such importance on this year's competition. However, if the Hall of Worship cleans out any more idle Spirit Bones next time, it would be better to discuss it more with me."
"After all, I am the Supreme Pontiff."
"Alright, since these four Spirit Bones are to be competition prizes, then let them be kept by this Pontiff."
Without blushing or her heart skipping a beat, Bibi Dong asked Qian Daoliu for the Spirit Bones.
Qian Daoliu stroked his beard and said, "There's no need for the trouble. Considering the value of the Spirit Bones is too precious."
"It is enough for the Hall of Worship to guard them."
Bibi Dong's gaze narrowed. "Does the High Priest not trust this Pontiff?"
"What do you think?" Qian Daoliu said.
Then he no longer paid attention to Bibi Dong.
He turned and went to sit on the roof of a tall building to watch the match.
Faced with this little interlude from Qian Daoliu.
Bibi Dong also expressed helplessness.
She just let him be.
Although she was currently the noble Supreme Pontiff.
She had no way to deal with the Hall of Worship.
After finishing a long-winded speech of clichés, Bibi Dong directly announced the official start of the finals!
While she herself sat on the Supreme Pontiff's throne.
Quietly watching the match...
