152: First Meeting with Bibi DongAlthough Yang Ping'an's attacks failed consecutively, he eventually fell in front of Hu Liena, and he even seemed to be bewitched by the fox demon, with a hint of confusion on his face before he fell.
But what everyone at the scene didn't notice was that even when Yang Ping'an fell down, there was still a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. Even if other people saw it, they would just think it was the effect of the charm in his body.
However, the corners of Bibi Dong and Ju Douluo's mouths on the podium twitched a little, and it was unclear whether they were happy or surprised, or they didn't know whether Yang Ping'an really lost or cooperated with them.
When Yang Ping'an was helped off the stage by several people, his eyes finally became clear again, and there was even a hint of confusion in his eyes. He didn't expect that he would lose in such a strange way.
However, now that the battle has reached this point, the Monster Academy cannot easily admit defeat in this individual match. After all, Yang Ping'an has already defeated three people and even consumed some of Hu Liena's energy.
But it must be said that both Hu Liena, the Soul King, and the backup force are the strongest among all the soul master teams.
Just like when Meng Haoran came on stage after Yang Ping'an left, he succumbed to Hu Liena's temptation after only a few rounds and fell off the stage involuntarily, completely unlike his previous strong fighting spirit.
Next, the entire arena seemed to be designed for Hu Liena. With the powerful power of charm and the spiritual power of the Soul King, she was able to completely crush many Soul Masters. In a short period of time, she defeated four people from the Exotic Beast Academy in succession, causing cheers from the entire audience.
Judging from the current situation, Hu Liena should be considered the best performer among all the people in the Spirit Hall. Compared with the defeated Xie Yue and Yan, she finally restored the dignity of the Spirit Hall and even improved its prestige.
At this point, both sides have already pulled in the same number of people, but overall, the average soul power of the Alien Beast Academy is eight levels lower than that of the Spirit Hall team. This gap is not so easy to make up.
Finally, after much deliberation, team leader Meng Chuan decided to admit defeat. If they continued to fight like this, all the team members would either be injured or defeated, and there would be no chance of winning the afternoon match. Especially since Hu Liena, in order to demonstrate the power of the Spirit Hall, had attacked the following players quite severely.
The morning's singles competition ended with regret, and Yang Pingan returned to his room to recuperate, at least to get into the best condition possible. The other injured players received treatment as soon as possible so as not to leave any hidden dangers for the afternoon's competition.
When Yang Ping'an returned to the room, a black figure suddenly appeared in the room. It was Ghost Douluo.
Yang Pingan quickly stood up and saluted: "Hello, Master Uncle. I wonder how Master Uncle has time to come and see me?"
Ghost Douluo's expression was still grim: "Ping An, you performed well this morning. Although you lost to Nana, it basically proved your strength. Now come with me."
Yang Pingan had a puzzled look on his face: "Uncle Master, the competition will start soon this afternoon. If I leave now, I'm afraid it will be easily discovered."
Ghost Douluo sneered: "Don't worry about this. No one in this world can find my whereabouts. I will make sure that no one knows your whereabouts."
Before Yang Ping'an could say anything else, Ghost Douluo grabbed him with force. Yang Ping'an felt as if his shoulder was grabbed by a ghost. He felt dizzy and then seemed to fall into darkness. The surrounding environment was like scenery, as if it was all moving backwards quickly like a high-speed train.
By the time Yang Ping'an's eyes returned to normal, he had already arrived in a dark hall.
There was a huge throne in the hall, on which sat a noble beauty holding a scepter. It was Bibi Dong whom he had seen during the day, and standing next to her was his master Ju Douluo.
Yang Pingan quickly bowed and said, "Greetings to His Holiness the Pope, and to Master."
Bibi Dong nodded slightly: "Very good, Yang Ping'an, your performance this morning was very good. You were able to defeat three people from my Spirit Hall in a row. Your strength has been recognized by me."
Yang Ping'an said calmly, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Holiness. I was just following the teacher's instructions and didn't have any other thoughts."
Bibi Dong snorted coldly: "Ping An, you are just a child, how can you have such deep thoughts? Don't tell me that you can still defeat Nana this morning."
Yang Pingan smiled: "Your Holiness, I have already told Master a few days ago that I have no hostility towards the Spirit Hall. I just want to cooperate with the Spirit Hall."
Bibi Dong sneered: "Cooperation requires capital and equal status. It seems that you have nothing."
Yang Pingan shook his head: "Indeed, in the eyes of His Majesty, I am just an ordinary ant. However, if I had not deliberately admitted defeat this morning, I am afraid that the Spirit Hall would not be so glorious, and your disciple Hu Liena would not have such a good opportunity."
"presumptuous."
An angry voice came directly into Yang Ping'an's ears, and then a terrifying pressure came over. Even Yang Ping'an couldn't help but want to bow down, especially when this force actually contained an extremely strong mental power, as if the whole person was drowning and could not break free even if he tried his best.
But Yang Ping'an gritted his teeth, and tried his best to improve his physical and soul power to the extreme, especially his mental strength, which was strong and unyielding. Even when facing huge waves, he struggled with all his might.
Suddenly, Yang Ping'an's aura increased sharply, as if it had broken through the limit, and the meridians in his limbs seemed to be more unobstructed. Under the heavy pressure just now, Yang Ping'an finally broke through to level 45. It can be said that he broke through the bottleneck in recent months.

At the same time, the pressure on Yang Ping'an disappeared without a trace, and he even felt his mind was clear, as if even his mental strength had made a breakthrough.
Bibi Dong showed a hint of surprise on her face: "Yes, Yang Ping'an, it seems that your strength and potential are better than I thought, especially your mental strength, which is probably far better than Nana's. Moreover, you can actually break through the bottleneck under heavy pressure. It seems that Ju Douluo has indeed accepted a good disciple."
Yang Pingan bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Your Holiness. I think today's game showed enough sincerity."
Bibi Dong was stunned at this time: "Interesting, it seems that you know that Nana is my apprentice, so you deliberately lost to her. Now Nana's prestige in the Spirit Hall is unprecedentedly high. Is this also your plan?"
Yang Pingan did not answer directly: "Thank you for your understanding, Your Holiness. Hu Liena is indeed excellent enough and worthy of being the successor of Your Holiness."
Although it was not stated explicitly, all of this was indeed Yang Ping'an's plan. Anyway, no matter what, whether he won the championship or not would not have much impact on him. At most, he would be given a soul bone after the finals, and the most precious head soul bone might not necessarily be given to him.
Considering the value of soul bones and his status in the Exotic Beast Academy, even if he possessed soul bones openly, it would be difficult to dispel the covetousness from all sides. It would be better to gain benefits in secret. This way, he could show his loyalty and put his master in a better position. It would also be very suitable for his future revenge plan.
Moreover, this is the Spirit Hall. If they really want to defeat the golden generation of the Spirit Hall, it will be a thankless task. By that time, even Bibi Dong may not be able to pacify the targeting within the Spirit Hall, not to mention that her master is just an ordinary elder.
