Douluo : Capture the goddess starting from peerless tang sect

The front-page article of the Tang Li Newspaper laid it all out.

It addressed the "flaws in the tournament system," explaining how Tang Lan, at Spirit Douluo level, was simply too overpowered, forcing an emergency rule adjustment.

It also highlighted the dominant performances of both Tang Sect Academy and Spirit Hall Academy in their respective 2v7 battles.

A clear and undeniable gap in strength.

Thus, it made perfect sense to move the final match forward.

And at the end of the article—

There was a special mention of Tang Lan and Bibi Dong's bet.

"Want to know the moment the championship is decided?"

"What exactly does Tang Master plan to ask the Supreme Pontiff?"

"At noon today, Tang Li Newspaper reporters will be broadcasting the event live—across the entire continent!"

Inside the Supreme Pontiff's Palace

With a surge of spirit power, Bibi Dong shredded the newspaper into pieces.

"Tang Lan, you bastard!"

"Taking action first and reporting later—worried I might go back on my word, are you?!"

At the same time—

She once again felt the terrifying power of public opinion.

—Tang Li Newspaper must be brought under Spirit Hall's control!

As for creating their own version?

Spirit Hall had tried—but failed.

Even though they had branch halls in every major city,

Tang Li Newspaper's real power lay in its communication soul devices.

It allowed information from across the continent to be gathered instantly, compiled, and distributed seamlessly.

Features like live broadcasting, recording, and photography—

These were all exclusively controlled by Tang Sect's Intelligence Hall.

Spirit Hall had no competitive advantage.

Trying to compete would only result in wasted effort.

Bibi Dong's Gaze Shifted Below

Standing before her, heads bowed, were Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan.

"Today's match—victory is the only option!"

Bibi Dong declared, her voice cold and absolute—

"If you lose—go to the City of Slaughter on your own."

Her words shocked the three of them!

The City of Slaughter had already been widely exposed through Tang Li Newspaper.

But to this day—

Not a single person had ever accumulated 100 victories, cleared the Hell Road, and returned.

In other words—

The survival rate was 0%.

Wasn't this just a life sentence?!

"Rest assured, Teacher!" Hu Liena confidently replied. "My brother and I have a trump card—our Martial Soul Fusion Technique has an original spirit skill we haven't used yet. We will absolutely win!"

"I swear to complete the mission!" Xie Yue vowed solemnly.

"I too, will see it through to the end!" Yan echoed.

Bibi Dong nodded and gestured for them to leave.

At That Moment—

Bear Devil entered the hall and respectfully bowed to Bibi Dong.

"Your Holiness, as per your orders, we have temporarily sealed off Spirit City, and stationed troops around the tournament venue."

"Good." Bibi Dong nodded. "What about the surveillance?"

"Aside from Tang Lan—who has vanished without a trace—everyone else has remained within the city, with no contact with suspicious individuals."

Bear Devil hesitated for a moment before adding—

"However, Bone Douluo Gu Rong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect arrived in Spirit City at dawn. He has had no contact with anyone, and has checked into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's hotel."

Bibi Dong leaned forward slightly.

A Titled Douluo arriving overnight?

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's headquarters was far from Spirit City.

Even with spatial-type spirit skills, the journey would still drain a lot of energy.

And considering the sect only had two Titled Douluo—both of whom were now in Spirit City…

They weren't afraid of someone attacking their base?

This could only mean one thing—

They were planning something.

And given Tang Lan's close relationship with Ning Fengzhi…

She couldn't help but recall the Thunderflame Ice Haotian Hammer he wielded.

Combined with his Lifebound Blue Silver Emperor…

A hammer and a vine?

This martial soul combination was eerily familiar!

That could only mean—

Tang Sect's Grand Elder must be that person!

If that was true…

Bibi Dong's gaze turned icy cold.

Considering her Rakshasa God's Nine Trials, her spirit power had been suppressed by one level.

She couldn't fight at full strength.

The Spirit Hall Elder's Hall had already lost its most valuable members—Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and She Long were all dead.

Of the six remaining elders, the strongest was Bear Devil at Level 94.

Meanwhile, on Tang Lan's side—

There were three Titled Douluo from Tang Sect,

And now two more from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

If a fight broke out—

She had no guarantee of victory.

And worst of all—this was Spirit City.

Her hands would be tied.

—If someone ignored honor and just swung a hammer straight at the Supreme Pontiff's Palace,

Should she block it? Or let it happen?

Bibi Dong Made a Decision

"Bear Devil—summon all high-level soul masters to stand by near the Supreme Pontiff's Palace."

"Yes, Your Holiness!"

Then—

Bibi Dong hurried toward the Worship Hall.

—As one of the culprits responsible for her son's death,

Surely that old monster wouldn't sit by and do nothing…

Meanwhile—at the Tang Sect's Hotel

Inside the luxurious suite—

"Bzzzt—Bzzzt—Bzzzt—"

A rapid vibration stirred Tang Lan from his sleep.

He carefully slipped his right arm out from Zhu Zhuqing's embrace, gently moved Xiao Wu's bunny head off his chest, and then lifted Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er's long legs off his body.

Only then was he finally free to grab the communication soul device.

It was a message from Bear Devil.

Spirit City is on lockdown.Troops have been stationed around the tournament arena.High-level spirit masters have been ordered to guard the Supreme Pontiff's Palace.Attached: A list of Spirit Hall's elite young talents.

At the top of the list—Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena.

More detailed than what Bibi Dong herself was given.

Clearly—

Bear Devil really valued his life and was doing everything he could to survive.

"Having an insider really makes things easier."

Tang Lan chuckled, then turned around—

Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er had already woken up and were getting dressed.

Slender and curvy, each with their own charm.

Tang Lan enjoyed the view without restraint.

Their reactions to his unfiltered gaze varied:

Xiao Wu was a little shy, but mostly calm.Having grown up together, she had long been measured and mapped countless times.If the others weren't here, she might have even teased him back.Zhu Zhuqing took her time, dressing slowly from the bottom up.She deliberately flaunted her assets, easily drawing the most attention from Tang Lan.Shui Bing'er remained calm and composed, dressing methodically.Despite feeling flustered internally, her mental fortitude ensured that none of it showed.Shui Yue'er, on the other hand, was the shyest.She hid behind the other three, trying to dodge Tang Lan's gaze.

Once they were all dressed—

Tang Lan clapped his hands and gave his orders:

"Xiao Wu, today we're turning on Spirit Hall. The battlefield will be chaotic—take the first team and target the key figures."

"Especially the Spirit Hall Academy team—don't let a single one escape."

"Zhuqing, you can act alone—just be careful."

"Bing'er, Yue'er—your job is to win against Spirit Hall Academy."

"This championship still matters—don't hold back. I'll activate Lifebound Heart whenever you need extra power."

"Everything else—leave it to me."

His sudden instructions didn't even faze the four women.

—From the moment their team was ambushed, and Tang Lan insisted on coming to Spirit City anyway,

They already knew—this wouldn't be a simple trip.

"Got it!" Xiao Wu's eyes burned with fighting spirit. "I'll make sure to eliminate all the promising ones! Let's see how much it hurts Bibi Dong!"

Tang Lan patted her head.

She never said it aloud, but today—

He would make things right for her.

"Do we have a list?" Zhu Zhuqing asked bluntly. "That would make things easier."

"Already sent it to you," Tang Lan replied.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and immediately started memorizing the list.

"Lan, don't worry about the match." Shui Bing'er said with confidence. "Yue'er and I won't lose to their Demonic Enchantment."

Shui Yue'er nodded rapidly in agreement.

"Of course!" Tang Lan teased, "I mean, look who you belong to!"

But instead of getting flustered, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er simply smiled proudly.

—Being Tang Lan's women… was an honor.

With everything settled,

Tang Lan pushed open the door, ready to raise hell.

But unexpectedly—

Standing in the courtyard was someone he both expected and didn't expect to see.

"I thought you'd choose to just watch from the sidelines."
