Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Invincible in the Sky, Qian Daoliu
"Ding-dong!"
"Congratulations! You've completed the fifth Chaos God Trial by winning the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament. All spirit rings have gained an additional fifty thousand years. Reward: Intermediate Fusion Card. Reward: a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring. Reward: Emerald Swan Left Arm Bone."
Emerald Swan Left Arm Bone: A three-hundred-thousand-year-old spirit bone. Grants two abilities: 1) area-wide healing and 2) resurrection, usable once per year, provided the deceased hasn't been dead longer than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Having completed the fifth trial, Mu Chen now faced the sixth Chaos God Trial: establishing his own force.

At the sound of a sudden command, everyone turned toward its source.
Descending gracefully from the sky was an elder clad in luxurious robes, landing before the Pope herself, Bibi Dong. He wore a pristine white robe, exuding no trace of spirit energy—a plain old man, if not for the flowing white hair that betrayed his true age. This man's power was evident; despite his arrival from the heavens, not a single ripple of spirit energy disturbed the air.
"Greetings, Grand Elder of the Arbiter Hall!"
All members of Spirit Hall, along with spirit masters from the gathered academies, showed him the utmost respect with a formal bow—everyone except for Mu Chen, Tang San, and Bibi Dong.
"What brings you here?" Bibi Dong asked, her tone chilly.
"Didn't you notice? That girl… she's a transformed one-hundred-thousand-year spirit beast," Qian Daoliu replied, his voice equally cold.
"What?!"
"A hundred-thousand-year spirit beast?"
"That young girl… she's really a one-hundred-thousand-year spirit beast?"
The revelation left everyone—except for Mu Chen, Tang San, Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Poison Douluo, and those closest to Xiao Wu—stunned.
"Mu Chen, is that true?" Liu Erlong asked, her eyes wide with shock.
Mu Chen nodded, his gaze unwavering. "It's true. Xiao Wu is indeed a spirit beast, a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit. But that doesn't change anything—she's still my Xiao Wu, my future wife."
"She's our friend, regardless."
"So what if she's a spirit beast?"
"Xiao Wu is pure-hearted, kind, and honest. She has traits that many humans could only wish for—if anything, she's more worthy of the term 'human.'"
Princess Xueke, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Jiangzhu, Meng Yiran, and others all spoke up, standing firmly beside Xiao Wu. Once the initial shock wore off, none of them viewed her spirit beast identity as a flaw.
"Senior Dugu, did you know?" Flender asked Poison Douluo, who stood beside him.
Poison Douluo nodded. "Yes, I've known since they arrived in Heaven Dou City. Mu Chen asked me to keep it a secret."
"Brother!" Xiao Wu looked toward Mu Chen, her eyes filled with gratitude and anxiety.
"Don't worry, Xiao Wu. I'm here. There's nothing to fear," Mu Chen said confidently, giving her a reassuring smile.
But Qian Daoliu, unfazed by their loyalty, was ready to act. His goal was clear; he was here not for himself, but for his beloved granddaughter, Qian Renxue.
"Seize her!" Qian Daoliu commanded.
"Stop!" Bibi Dong's voice rang out at the same time.
The members of Spirit Hall hesitated, unsure whether to heed Qian Daoliu's order or Bibi Dong's. They looked from the Grand Elder to the Pope, confusion in their eyes.
"Your Holiness, you may disregard your own interests, but you cannot ignore hers!" Qian Daoliu reminded her, hinting at someone Bibi Dong held dear.
For a brief moment, Bibi Dong hesitated, her thoughts flickering to her daughter, Qian Renxue.
Mu Chen's immense power and their recent pact weighed on her decision. Bibi Dong knew that pressing further might bring unforeseen disaster to Spirit Hall.
"Anyone who wishes to harm Xiao Wu will have to go through me first," Mu Chen declared firmly.
Yet before he could act, Zhu Zhuqing had already stepped forward, her expression cold and resolute. Seven spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, black—shone around her.
A chilling killing intent radiated from her, expanding outward like an aura of death.
"A Spirit Sage with a fourth spirit ring of ten-thousand years?"
"And she has the Killing God Domain!"
"Look! There's a pair of black wings on her back. She even has an external spirit bone!"
Exclamations of astonishment echoed through the crowd as they stared at the fully unleashed Zhu Zhuqing.
"We all have the Killing God Domain!"
Ma Hongjun stepped forward next, his aura enveloped by an ethereal white glow—his Killing God Domain.
One by one, the other Shrek members followed suit: Meng Yiran, Tang San, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ning Rongrong, each activating their Killing God Domains.
"We all possess external spirit bones as well!"
In another dazzling display, glimmers of light appeared behind Ma Hongjun and the others, each revealing their own external spirit bones. Only Princess Xueke and Jiangzhu lacked this power; the others, excluding Xiao Wu, each displayed their Killing God Domains and external spirit bones.
"Shrek Academy's members… they all possess external spirit bones and the Killing God Domain."
"And each has a ten-thousand-year spirit ring as their fourth ring. Is that the key to unlocking external spirit bones?"
"But how could these spirit masters withstand the energy of a ten-thousand-year spirit ring at the Spirit Elder rank, when it's beyond the capacity of a typical spirit master?"
The unprecedented display of power left the assembled spirit masters reeling. Some were beginning to realize the conditions needed for obtaining external spirit bones, yet were puzzled as to how the Shrek members had managed to survive the powerful energy of ten-thousand-year spirit rings at such an early stage in their training.
"Monsters! They're all monsters!"
A Titled Douluo on the scene couldn't hold back, exclaiming in amazement at Shrek's Eleven Monsters and acknowledging the well-deserved reputation they had earned.
Mu Chen's gaze hardened as he turned toward Qian Daoliu. "Are you still determined to make me stay?"
