Chapter 121: Bibi Dong, the 'Junior High Queen'

Both being of the wind attribute, and considering You Chen's past identity as a disciple of Qian Renxue, You Chen had some connections with the Qingluan Douluo in the past.

In fact, among the seven great offerings, the Qingluan Douluo and You Chen were the closest.

Although You Chen had previously revealed his martial soul, it was always related to wind-type powers.

Wind combined with dragon—while this martial soul was rare, it wasn't uncommon for Masked Assassins to reach such levels.

This only deepened Bibi Dong's misunderstanding, believing that the Masked Assassin might have some relation to the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family, perhaps some distant relative, which led her to connect him with Yu Xiaogang.

After all, there were two fire dragons, Liu Erlong and Ignis, so it wasn't surprising that the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family had some uncontrollable members, with a few dragons of other attributes scattered across the world.

But the Qingluan Douluo not only knew about You Chen's martial soul, but had also faced him in battle, where You Chen had gone all out.

He could naturally confirm that while You Chen primarily used wind powers, his starry abilities were also exceptionally strong.

A martial soul like this had only appeared once before on Douluo Continent—when You Chen first revealed it.

However, the Qingluan Douluo naturally never considered the Masked Assassin to be You Chen.

After the spiritual realm erupted, You Chen gained perfect control over his powers, enabling him to use all his soul skills without relying on soul rings.

This was different from the previous case with the Grey Falcon, who only had six rings, as the Qingluan Douluo never imagined that You Chen could leap from a four-ringed Soul Master to a Soul Douluo in just three years, someone capable of battling at Title Douluo level.

So, Qingluan Douluo immediately concluded that You Chen's "orphan" status meant that the Masked Assassin's true identity must be his long-lost father, the one who had abandoned him—or so he thought.

Furthermore, Qingluan Douluo speculated that this "father" must have learned of Bibi Dong's secrets, and wondered if the long-separated father and son had finally reunited.

Had Qingluan Douluo been able to save the dying Grey Falcon, he might have had a chance to uncover the truth.

But the reality is that there were no "what-ifs."

The people of the Spirit Hall were busy dealing with the chaos Bibi Dong had caused.

In the ten minutes during which Qingluan Douluo was engaged in a fierce battle with You Chen, followed by the time spent reviewing the situation in his mind, Grey Falcon—who had a good chance of breaking through to Title Douluo and becoming a new elder—was already cold…

*"Phew..."*

Having successfully escaped from Spirit City, You Chen, pale and exhausted, let out a sigh of relief, forcing a bitter smile. "That was too much. I should've just surrendered earlier, seeing that Qingluan Douluo will probably find out who I am soon anyway…"

His tone was laced with self-mockery.

He hadn't expected that Grey Falcon would not receive timely help.

From You Chen's perspective, Qingluan Douluo, who was somewhat familiar with him, had already likely figured out his true identity.

Now, You Chen began to think about the response from the Temple of the Elders, particularly what Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue might do about it.

Of course, talk of surrender was just that—words. Unless absolutely necessary, he wasn't willing to gamble with his life and destiny based on someone else's emotions.

One failure was already enough…

His gaze gradually regained its determination.

Now that he had successfully escaped from Spirit City, he could consider the chaos Bibi Dong caused as an unexpected stroke of luck.

With this in mind, executing his original plan would likely go more smoothly.

Bibi Dong's rampage in Spirit City and her loss of composure due to You Chen's performance had shattered most of the illusions people had about the Pope.

With countless people suffering as a result, no matter how the Spirit Hall tried to smooth things over, the damage was beyond repair.

On the surface, people dared not speak out, but behind closed doors, gossip spread like wildfire. Everyone secretly complained, mocking Bibi Dong for possibly having a few screws loose.

The day after the incident, You Chen's second phase of humiliation against Bibi Dong was officially completed.

Even though he had expected it, You Chen still let out a sigh of relief.

Although the mission description had requested the entire Spirit City, You Chen knew the system wouldn't make the task so extreme and impossible.

If the mission had truly required the entire Spirit City, it would be nearly impossible to complete unless You Chen killed every person in the city. But that would involve more than a dozen Title Douluo-level individuals, including a 99th-level Ultimate Douluo.

Moreover, You Chen couldn't imagine Qian Daoliu secretly mocking Bibi Dong or having any negative change in his attitude toward her.

That man was a traditionalist, and given his guilt toward Bibi Dong, it was unlikely he would mock her—he might even be secretly repenting.

Even with a difficult task, it wasn't hard enough to require You Chen to take on most of Spirit Hall's peak combat power.

So the mission description was likely more of a loose guideline.

In the end, as long as the mission requirements were met, the job was done.

As for the critical third phase of humiliation, You Chen had already planned his approach.

The method was… creating phrases and memes!

Days passed.

In Xingluo City, within a tavern located in a luxurious district:

"Have you heard? The latest rumors about the Pope of Spirit Hall!"

"Tsk tsk, who would've thought? She looked so high and mighty, the Empress! And what happened? Almost tricked by some uneducated academic fraud! What's that phrase again? Oh yes! 'Innocent and sweet!' Wow, I really envy that Yu Xiaogang! I heard the Pope's beauty and figure are unparalleled! Just imagining it, I'm already excited!"

"Don't act all flirty here! Also, you're wrong—she's not an innocent girl; she's a little gangster! She doesn't understand anything, hasn't even entered society, and is just infatuated with those boastful young spirit masters. She sold herself out! I heard Spirit Hall almost lost everything because of her chasing after love!"

"Right, no experience at all, just some random words got her to lose everything. I don't know how this 3D girl got herself to be Pope! It must be talent, right? If I had that kind of talent, I could be the Pope too!"

"No, the version I heard is that she got together with her own teacher! Who's this Yu Xiaogang?"

"Ah? You don't know Yu Xiaogang? How could you not know about him in Xingluo City! Hmph, sit down, I'll explain it to you!"

"Tell me!"

*Cough cough,* "First, a crucial point must be made… Why doesn't Bibi Dong deny her relationship with Yu Xiaogang? Well, what people don't know is that this story has been beautified long ago…"

These new terms, "innocent sweet girl," "gangster girl," "3D girl," "spiritual little sister," "master's mission," "taboo teacher-student romance," "fallen rich beauty," "fraud," "chaotic private life," all emerged and spread rapidly thanks to You Chen's associates, who used all sorts of strategies to amplify these rumors across crowded public spaces.

Soon, this phenomenon spread throughout Douluo Continent, sparking endless conversations among the common folk who had few distractions in their lives.

You Chen, through his creative and catchy phrases, made Bibi Dong's romantic history a topic of ridicule, spreading across the continent with dozens of versions and interpretations of the story.

Thanks to You Chen's sensational methods and his team's hefty financial support, the gossip about Bibi Dong went viral, even though Spirit Hall, with its widespread influence, couldn't control public opinion.

Although Spirit Hall had significant sway over soul masters, their control over the general population was limited, and they couldn't simply suppress the masses' enthusiasm for this scandal.

Naturally, Spirit Hall issued a formal request to the two great empires, demanding that they limit speech and restore the Pope's reputation.

But this was also an opportunity to undermine Spirit Hall's prestige.

As for the situation, You Chen felt confident that his ultimate mission would be completed before the chaos settled down.

However, in this world, there are no "what-ifs."
