Chapter 86 Long live His Holiness the Pope!
Bibi Dong's voice echoed throughout the entire arena; no matter where you were, you could hear the Pope's solemn declaration.
In an instant, thunderous applause erupted!
Countless cheers rose and fell, surging in like ocean waves.
Thanks to Su Chen's marketing plan over the past month, His Holiness the Pope has become almost perfect in the lower and middle classes of Wuhun City, and naturally, his popularity is quite high.
After the applause and cheers subsided, His Holiness the Pope's beautiful, wine-red eyes swept across the entire hall, lingering almost imperceptibly on one spot for a moment, before he spoke again.
"Distinguished contestants, you are all geniuses from all corners of the world. Today, I hope you will fight with all your might, defeat your opponents honorably, and showcase the brilliance of the younger generation of our Martial Soul world!"
"I, Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, hereby promise that all children who participate in the first phase will receive a bronze commemorative badge from the Spirit Hall. With this badge, as long as they help the Spirit Hall with some small tasks in their spare time, their monthly allowance will be doubled, and they can permanently purchase all kinds of spirit master supplies at a 20% discount!!"
"Participating in the second phase will grant you a silver commemorative badge, double your monthly subsidies, and a permanent 40% discount on Soul Master items!"
"And if you make it to the final stage, regardless of victory or defeat, you will receive a gold commemorative badge, five times the subsidy, and a permanent 30% discount on Soul Master items!!"
Wow!!!
The words immediately caused a huge uproar in the arena, with countless people exclaiming in surprise, and the contestants participating in the competition were overjoyed!
Not only do you get double the subsidies just for participating in the competition, but you can also get a permanent 20% discount on expensive Soul Master equipment?!
This is a fantastic opportunity for some grassroots forces that don't have a strong foothold in the community!
Even powerful Soul Master factions with substantial resources couldn't help but beam with joy.
After all, who would complain about having too many cultivation resources?
As for that small request, they subconsciously ignored it.
So generous, so magnanimous, what's a little favor to them!
The subsidy alone is more than you could earn through a normal commission!
"Teacher, teacher, did you hear that? Just by participating, you get a 20% discount, which doubles the subsidy! Doesn't that mean I can save money and buy even more collaboration figures?"
Qiu Ruolian's eyes lit up, and she excitedly grabbed Teacher Lin's arm and shook it.
"Okay, okay."
Teacher Lin waved her hand, looking somewhat annoyed.
This girl has absolutely no ambition.
"Hmph, you infatuated girl."
A cold voice came from the side, and Qiu Ruolian immediately bristled, glaring angrily at the cold and beautiful blue-haired girl beside her.
"Shui Liuyun, do you have a death wish? I think you're just jealous!!"
"A frivolous person who wastes his life on trivial pursuits is not worthy to be my companion."
"You...you...you...I'll kill you!!"
"20% off! Double the subsidy!"
Yu Tianxin counted on her fingers, her eyes shining, but then dimming.
"But I'm not a participant."
Yu Lingsheng, standing behind him, ignored his son's dejection, his brows furrowed as he pondered the crux of the matter.
But after thinking it over, it just seems like the Spirit Hall is really just giving out perks.
This amount of stuff is nothing to the seven major sects.
Surely it can't really be just to win over the hearts of those low- and middle-level Soul Masters?
What's the use of that?
"What a grand gesture."
He shrugged with a sigh, not taking it to heart.
Almost everyone from all factions was pondering the meaning of this matter, but none of them could come up with a conclusion.
In their view, this is of no use other than a waste of money and resources.
"You're still too young, aren't you? You've only just taken over, and you're already trying to prove yourself by doing something?"
The higher-ups in the faction shook their heads and whispered, showing some disdain for the young pope.
But one person was different.
Ning Fengzhi sat on the VIP platform with a refined and amiable smile on his face, but his eyes behind his black-rimmed glasses were filled with deep thought.
As he gazed at that stunningly beautiful and slender figure from behind, a deep sense of vigilance instinctively arose within him.
The sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had the same first reaction as everyone else, wondering if the pope was acting rashly and doing something irrational.
But Ning Fengzhi quickly rejected his idea.
Based on my observations over the past few days since entering the city, this Pope is ambitious and acts boldly yet meticulously; he is definitely not a fool.
So why is that?
"Long live His Holiness the Pope! May His Holiness the Pope live forever!!!"
He was deep in thought when he suddenly heard a desperate shout.
Before Sect Master Ning could react, shouts rose and fell in succession, quickly turning into a surging wave.
"Long live His Holiness the Pope! May His Holiness the Pope live forever!!!"
"Long live His Holiness the Pope! May His Holiness the Pope live forever!!!"
"Long live His Holiness the Pope! May His Holiness the Pope live forever!!!"
Peng!
Ning Fengzhi suddenly stood up, his eyes fixed on those excited faces.
Most of them were civilians participating in the competition.
No, it should be said that most of the audience in this competition were ordinary Soul Masters with little or no background knowledge.
These people may not have profound skills or extraordinary talent.
However, the quantity is large, and they come from all over the country.
A terrifying thought popped into Ning Fengzhi's mind, making him dizzy and almost unable to stand.
He knows what the Spirit Hall wants to do.
No wonder, no wonder the entry requirements for this competition were so low. So, this was the Spirit Hall's purpose from the very beginning?!
"Sect Leader Ning, what's wrong? Should I call a healing-type Soul Master over?"
A cold and aloof voice came from behind. Ning Fengzhi looked up and realized that the other people in the VIP seats were staring at him in surprise as he stood up.
Only that stunningly beautiful figure had a slightly mocking smile playing on her lips, her wine-red eyes holding a half-smile.
"No, it's alright, it's fine."
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath, suppressed his shock, forced a smile, and sat back down.
Looking at the woman before him, he felt a chill run down his spine, and his body trembled slightly.
If my guess is correct.
Twenty years from now, will only the Spirit Hall exist on this continent?
"Your Highness, the mission is complete. The brothers have all changed into two sets of clothes, so no one will notice anything amiss."
Inside the private lounge, the captain of the enforcement team took off his civilian clothes, removed his hood, and respectfully knelt before the boy.
If someone observes closely, they will find that the person who shouted in the crowd at the beginning was him.
The enforcement captain's eyes were filled with fanaticism and adoration.
If the law enforcement captain was previously forced to serve the teenager due to his position, now he is completely convinced and devoted to him.
Who would have thought that this surging wave was started by the young man in front of us?
"Thank you for your hard work. Go to the Finance Department and apply for double the subsidy for your team this month."
The boy smiled slightly, took out a pen and paper, and signed his name on a piece of paper.
"I am willing to die for Your Highness!"
