Douluo Starting with the Chaos Divine Examination

"Er Long, Dean, let's go." 

Mu Chen called out, already opening the door and walking out of the room.

*Bang*

Until the door closed, the people inside remained in a daze.

Mu Chen's final words to Salas were to mind his own business!

*Whoosh*

Unbelievable; Mu Chen actually threatened Salas!

Keep in mind, Salas represented the Spirit Hall and was a Platinum Bishop. Mu Chen's threat seemed to disregard the Spirit Hall entirely!

*Whoosh*

Ning Fengzhi stared blankly at the door. As the head of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, even he wouldn't dare be so disrespectful to someone from the Spirit Hall, especially a high-ranking bishop. Yet, Mu Chen dared!

"Damn, is he threatening my Spirit Hall?" 

Salas's face turned ashen, his expression dark as he clenched his fists. He couldn't believe he was afraid of a teenager. As the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City, even Emperor Xue Ye wouldn't dare treat him with such disrespect. With these thoughts, Salas's anger simmered as he turned to Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi, "His attitude shows complete disregard for the tournament committee. His and Shrek Academy's participation must be revoked."

"I object," Ning Fengzhi finally spoke up.

"Ning Fengzhi! Are you taking his side?" Salas coldly questioned.

"Bishop Salas, mind your words. Even your Pope must address me as Clan Master Ning," Ning Fengzhi replied calmly.

Salas remained silent, his gaze dismissive towards Ning Fengzhi. Due to his martial spirit, Ning Fengzhi could never become a high-level Soul Douluo. As a Soul Douluo, Ning Fengzhi had no authority worthy of Salas's respect. If not for the Bone Douluo by Ning Fengzhi's side, Salas would have mocked him outright.

Ning Fengzhi, maintaining his composure, ignored Salas's gaze and said, "I believe he made a valid point. You can't blame him for being alive while the others are dead. Is it his fault for surviving?"

"Seven people from Canghui Academy are dead. How do you intend to give them a satisfactory explanation?" Salas asked.

"Before explaining to them, I believe Mu Chen raised a valid question. We should inquire about the seven-in-one fusion technique Canghui Academy used," Ning Fengzhi replied.

"So, you're siding with him and Shrek Academy, even suggesting Canghui Academy should compensate him for his emotional distress?" Salas sneered.

"If Canghui Academy is at fault, I will demand compensation for him," Ning Fengzhi said, rising to leave, uninterested in further dealing with Salas.

"Ning Fengzhi!"

Salas clenched his fists, his body trembling with anger. He glanced at the seated Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. He knew of Xue Qinghe and Mu Chen's relationship, but for the Spirit Hall Academy to secure victory, he still asked, "Crown Prince, do you share this view?"

Xue Qinghe was the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, more qualified than Ning Fengzhi to represent the royal family.

*Whoosh*

Xue Qinghe dismissed his attendants and then reached into his storage soul tool, tossing an object to Salas.

Salas caught it—a token with strange runes. Staring at it, Salas was stunned and exclaimed, "The Pope's Token?"

"Since you recognize it, there's no need for further explanation," Xue Qinghe said calmly.

"Greetings, Elder!" Salas was filled with doubt. How did the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire possess the Spirit Hall's Pope's Token?

The bearer of this token was akin to the Pope himself.

Despite his curiosity, Salas had to bow respectfully to Xue Qinghe due to his status.

Salas was unaware that during Qian Renxue's undercover mission in the Heaven Dou Royal Family, Qian Daoliu had given her this token for convenience.

Moreover, Salas didn't know that Xue Qinghe was actually Qian Renxue, the Pope's daughter.

"Please retrieve this, Elder!" Salas respectfully handed the Pope's Token back to Xue Qinghe.

"Salas, do not continue questioning Mu Chen. Allow him to retain his qualification to compete," Xue Qinghe instructed, putting away the token.

"Very well, the investigation is dismissed," Salas replied reluctantly.

"No, the investigation continues," Xue Qinghe said.

"I don't understand," Salas was puzzled.

"The investigation into Mu Chen is dismissed, but the investigation into Canghui Academy continues," Xue Qinghe clarified.

"This... isn't appropriate," Salas protested.

As the bishop of the Spirit Hall, Salas understood that Xue Qinghe intended to hold Canghui Academy accountable, possibly to compensate Mu Chen, an apparently unfair move.

Unfairness aside, making Mu Chen, who had been disrespectful to him, benefit from this was unbearable for Salas.

"What is inappropriate about it?" Xue Qinghe stood up and continued, "Since Ning Fengzhi represents the Heaven Dou Royal Family in seeking accountability from Canghui Academy for Mu Chen and Shrek Academy, why not push from behind? If Canghui Academy harbors resentment towards the royal family, wouldn't the Spirit Hall ultimately benefit?"

"Why didn't I think of that," Salas's eyes widened with joy, then filled with doubt. Why was the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire seemingly pushing potential allies towards the Spirit Hall?

The continent seemed peaceful, but beneath the surface, the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Royal Family had clashed numerous times.

Despite racking his brain, Salas couldn't comprehend it. He wanted to ask Xue Qinghe, but the latter had already left the room.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, you've completed the E-level hidden quest: Boldly rebut Salas and ensure continued participation in the tournament. Reward: 10 skill points, 500,000 soul power points."

Perhaps Mu Chen's outstanding completion of the task resulted in him receiving ten skill points and 500,000 soul power points for an E-level task.

"Dean, who are we facing next?" Mu Chen asked as they walked.

"The next academy poses some trouble: it's the Blaze Academy, one of the Five Elemental Academies!" Flender replied.
