Amon took three soul bones from a brocade plate held by a red-robed bishop. He glanced at these treasures that could excite any soul master.
Then, without any hesitation, he gave the Blazing Flames Right Arm Bone to Yan Jin, tossed the Swift Wind Left Leg Bone to Walter, and stored the Spirit Convergence Wisdom Skull into his spatial ring.
He walked to Tang Xiao's corpse, glanced at Yan Jin, who understood and summoned magma to incinerate the body, leaving only three glowing bones.
As the sect master of the Haotian Sect, Tang Xiao naturally possessed soul bones, and three of them, all high-quality soul bones of considerable integrity, over fifty thousand years old.
They were a torso bone flashing red light, a right arm bone glowing with cyan light, and a right leg bone gleaming with golden light.
The surrounding people looked at Amon storing them into his spatial ring with a mixture of greed and envy.
No one dared to harbor any ulterior motives. The previous battle was still fresh in their minds, and the strength Amon displayed was enough to protect his interests.
This was also one of the reasons why Amon wanted to increase his "status in the world."
Because without sufficient deterrence, some benefits would not be secure, attracting countless covetous eyes. Although he wasn't afraid, it would still be troublesome.
"Tsk... the gains are not bad." Amon pinched his monocle and said with a chuckle.
Four soul bones, something that ordinary Title Douluo couldn't possess in a lifetime, yet you obtained them in a single day, and you still say it's just not bad? Yue Guan and Gui Mei thought silently in their hearts.
Walter handed the left leg bone to Subduing Demon, respectfully saying: "Senior Subduing Demon, this is the soul bone I'm using to exchange for the left arm bone."
Subduing Demon nodded and put away the left leg bone.
Bibi Dong saw this scene and suddenly understood something, sternly saying:
"No wonder you were able to suddenly reach level 90. So you secretly used the Spirit Hall's treasured soul bones! For such a big matter, did you get my approval?"
Subduing Demon glanced at her and said in a cold tone:
"Elders can exchange for the collection within the hall with soul bones of similar value. This is a right that elders can enjoy, and it doesn't require your approval."
"He's just a platinum bishop, not an elder yet!" Bibi Dong said coldly.
"But I am!" Subduing Demon said.
"You are overdrawing soul bones! What if he couldn't provide a soul bone today?" Bibi Dong said with a hint of anger.
"Walter himself has a right arm bone. If he couldn't give me a soul bone today, I would chop off his right arm." Subduing Demon said without any emotion.
Bibi Dong wanted to retort, but heard Qian Jun say: "The Grand Worship has agreed."
This one sentence blocked all of Bibi Dong's words.
Although Qian Daoliu usually doesn't pay much attention to the matters in the Spirit Hall, he has a great influence. No matter who it is, they dare not ignore him.
If there is any resolution that requires voting, as long as Qian Daoliu speaks, the final result is often one-sided. Except for Gui Mei and Yue Guan, almost all the other elders follow suit.
This made Bibi Dong very annoyed, but she could do nothing about it.
Qian Jun and Subduing Demon returned to the Hall of Worship.
The people from Shrek Academy were still somewhat dazed. First, the news that Xiao Wu was a transformed soul beast surprised them, and then, the battle between the Title Douluo and Amon's strong move shocked them.
Especially Dai Mubai, he had previously planned to kill the opponent with Tang San, and now he felt a burst of fear when he thought about it. Fortunately, he never had a chance to do it.
Yu Xiaogang and Flender thanked Ning Fengzhi and then left Spirit City with the Shrek people.
That night, a figure wearing a black robe and a pointed soft hat peered around at the entrance of the Papal Palace, then sneaked in furtively, climbing into Bibi Dong's room through the window.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei looked at each other, feeling puzzled by Amon's mysterious behavior.
"He knows we're watching him, right?" Gui Mei asked uncertainly.
"Definitely knows!"
"Was he invited over by the Pope?"
"That's right."
Gui Mei's expression was strange, "Then why would he make such a move? It's like he's doing something sneaky."
"Maybe... he and the Pope have some secret that they can't let others know, a guilty conscience."
As soon as Yue Guan said this, the two looked at each other and decided to keep everything to themselves.
The time was set by Amon, and the location was set by Bibi Dong. Both had the idea of having an in-depth exchange with each other.
"Good evening, Your Holiness the Pope." Amon greeted with a smile.
Bibi Dong's face wasn't too good, but it was much calmer than during the day: "I'm not good at all... What exactly did you do?"
"What are you referring to? I don't quite understand." Amon had a teasing smile on his face.
"Stop pretending, why can't I use my soul skills anymore? You're the one who did it, right?" Bibi Dong said in a deep voice.
"Oh, that..." Amon's face showed a look of sudden realization, then pretended to be shocked: "You actually found out?"
What kind of look is that? Only an idiot wouldn't notice, right! Bibi Dong suppressed her anger and took a deep breath to calm down.
Seeing Bibi Dong regain her composure, a trace of disappointment appeared on Amon's face.
He angered Bibi Dong in order to make the other party's emotions fluctuate, and her mind would have loopholes, so that he could use the mind-reading part of the "Dream Stealer" ability better, in order to gain the initiative in the subsequent negotiations.
But at this moment, Bibi Dong's powerful spirit protected her mind very well, without any gaps to exploit. Amon had to put away such thoughts, and the expression on his face became a little more serious.
"Alright, tell me, how exactly can the seal on my soul skills be removed?" Bibi Dong's gaze was icy.
Amon explained with a smile, "This is my soul skill. It can randomly steal a target's soul skill and grant me one chance to use it.
"Back then, wasn't the Soul Master Competition going on? I needed powerful skills to deal with my opponents, so I set my sights on you. I figured that as the Pope, you must possess very strong skills... Believe me, I had no malicious intentions towards you."
You're kidding me! Your opponents were just a bunch of kids around level forty. You could have crushed them with your aura alone. You needed to steal my soul skills?
Bibi Dong didn't speak, only stared coldly at Amon.
"Okay, okay, actually, I also wanted to get your attention. As it turns out, it worked quite well. Look, Your Majesty the Pope has summoned me."
Amon spread his hands, simultaneously returning Bibi Dong's six soul skills from her first spirit.
Feeling the return of the six soul skills, Bibi Dong's expression improved considerably, but the main point was the soul skills of her second spirit.
Those were hunted after she had attached soul rings to her first spirit. The first five were all soul rings of over 50,000 years, and the sixth was even a 100,000-year soul ring!
Moreover, because her eighth and ninth soul skills of her first spirit were life-saving and support-type abilities, these six soul skills of her second spirit were her primary means of combat.
"What about the rest?"
"I don't really want to return them. Your Majesty the Pope, your soul skills are really useful..." Amon sighed, "Tsk, tsk, twin spirits. I've discovered a great secret."
Bibi Dong gritted her silver teeth, a hint of killing intent revealed in her eyes, "You're courting death!"
"Why don't you try killing me? I promise not to fight back. But, can you be sure that your soul skills will return after you kill me...?" Amon said with a smile.
Bibi Dong's expression faltered. Thinking about that possibility, she felt a bit panicked. She barely managed to gather her thoughts, trying not to think about that terrible outcome, and said with feigned composure, "I don't believe there are no limitations."
"Maybe there are, maybe there aren't... Are you willing to gamble? You wouldn't want to find that your soul skills still haven't returned after killing me, would you?"
Amon's words hit the mark. Bibi Dong didn't dare to gamble, didn't dare to risk permanently losing six soul rings by attacking Amon.
"Then do you think I will be forever controlled by you because of this?" Bibi Dong retorted.
Amon raised his right hand and pinched his monocle. "Don't be so hostile towards me. Actually, I came here to find you to make a deal."
"What deal?"
"I will return all of your soul skills to you... Of course, that's not the content of the deal, but rather to prove my sincerity.
"You saw that soul beast today, didn't you? I know its location. Also, it has two companions in the Star Dou Great Forest, all of that level... I think you should be interested in them, right?"
Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Amon, waiting for his next words.
Amon wore a cordial smile on his face and said gently, "I will use their whereabouts to make a deal with you. In exchange for the right to use your second spirit's sixth soul skill for a period of time...
"Also, deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, there is also a soul beast that I want. We can go together, you hunt yours, and I hunt mine. After the hunt is complete, the deal is over, and I will return your sixth soul skill to you. How about it?"
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's face revealed a look of suspicion. It sounded like it was only beneficial to her and had no drawbacks. Not only would all her soul skills return, but she could also obtain the whereabouts of three 100,000-year soul beasts.
"What about you? Aren't you interested in those three 100,000-year soul beasts? I don't believe it." Bibi Dong's eyes were wary.
Amon pinched his monocle and chuckled, "I'm really not interested. Their compatibility with my spirit is too poor. Rather than the age, I pay more attention to the characteristics of the soul beast, seeing if they match my spirit.
"The soul beast I want to hunt is very rare and is protected by a group of powerful soul beasts, so I have to borrow Your Majesty the Pope's power."
"The two companions of that humanoid soul beast are guarding the soul beast you want? You want to use the power of the Spirit Hall to eliminate her companions?" Bibi Dong asked.
Amon neither admitted nor denied it, "After all, I am only one person. Even if a sneak attack could kill that soul beast, I wouldn't be able to absorb the soul ring. Its guardians would tear me to pieces. And I don't have the ability to wipe them all out, so I need a partner."
Bibi Dong believed him a little and said softly, "Return all my soul skills first."
Amon smiled, snapped his fingers, and "returned" five soul skills, leaving only that 100,000-year single-target attack skill, "Eternal Creation."
He didn't really have that much need for the other soul skills. Only this "Eternal Creation" was urgently needed at this stage, as it could effectively compensate for his lack of attack power.
Feeling the five soul skills that she could use again, Bibi Dong's sense of security increased a lot. She pondered for a moment, "What about the last one?"
"That's the content of our deal," Amon replied.
Bibi Dong didn't press, slowly nodding her head, "Then let's cooperate. I hope you're not playing me, otherwise, you will become an enemy of the Spirit Hall, to the death!"
The corners of Amon's mouth slowly curved upwards, revealing a smile: "Happy cooperation."
