Chapter 256: Admitting defeat is our right.
The pope is the leader in the eyes of all soul masters. The moment Bibi Dong appeared, all the soul masters on the scene knelt on one knee to show their respect.
"How dare you! Why don't you kneel!"
Noticing the Shrek Seven Devils who stood out from the crowd, the Spirit Hall Red Cardinal cursed.
Bibi Dong just glanced at the Shrek people and did not intend to pursue the matter.
Unexpectedly, the next second, a holy golden aura emerged from the palace on the mountain behind the Pope's Hall.
The Shrek people could not withstand the pressure, and all of them were suppressed and knelt on the ground.
Not kneeling to the pope is a provocation to the Spirit Hall. The Worship Hall, which is always observing the situation of the Pope's Hall, naturally can't stand it.
Bibi Dong's eyes twitched slightly.
Qian Daoliu's action at this moment can also be regarded as a warning to her.
Aware of the situation of the Shrek Seven Devils, Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong glared at Bibi Dong above.
Not kneeling to the pope is his right. Why does Bibi Dong force him to do so?
The Shrek Seven Devils were not injured, but they could not stand up in the face of this irresistible force.
Tang San showed a fierce look. In the next game, he must defeat the Spirit Hall team and vent his anger.
...
Bibi Dong stood there for a long time without speaking.
Qiangu Changkong whispered to Wu Qi: "Brother Wu, what is His Holiness the Pope waiting for?"
Waiting?
Who dares to let the Pope wait here?

is not waiting for someone, it is likely that Bibi Dong wants to use this opportunity to express protest to the Worship Hall.
After all, the people kneeling in the audience are the Pope, not a few worshippers.
After an unknown amount of time, when most people's legs were numb from kneeling, Bibi Dong finally spoke: "Please stand up."
"On behalf of the Spirit Hall, I would like to thank all the audience and guests for coming. Let us witness the birth of the champion of this competition together."
"Thank you to all the contestants as well. It is you who brought a wonderful competition to the competition."
"You are all young talents."
Bibi Dong spoke in an official tone.
However, the next scene made many people breathe faster.
"The champion team of this competition is also the most outstanding young talents on the continent. In this competition, the Spirit Hall has prepared three soul bones as rewards for the champion team."
After speaking, Bibi Dong waved her hand casually, and the soul bones emitting luster appeared in front of her.
The luster of the soul bones was still clearly visible even at the foot of the Pope Mountain.
The contestants showed their desire for the soul bones, and many of the audience at the scene showed greedy eyes.
If this was not the Pope's Palace and there were many strong people guarding nearby, I am afraid that a battle for the soul bones would have taken place on the spot.
"Young soul masters, fight to win the glory that belongs to you."
"And the soul bone reward only belongs to the champion!"
"For your honor, and for the honor of the academy and the country, fight and win the game."
…
The brief opening ceremony ended, and then, under the arrangement of the host, the three teams will compete in the form of a ring match to select one team to enter the winner group finals, and the two losing teams will enter the loser group finals.
The captains of the three teams stayed on the stage, and the rest of the team members all returned to the rest area.
Next, the order of appearance in the ring match will be determined by drawing lots.
Under normal circumstances, the last team to appear has a greater advantage.
But the Qibao team and the Shrek team were not prepared to play this ring match, so they acted quite casually.
The drawing ceremony had just begun, and the staff called several times in a row, but Yu Tianheng was unmoved.
On the high platform, Bibi Dong frowned.
She didn't know what the Shrek team was doing, and guessed that it was probably arranged by Yu Xiaogang.
The audience talked about Yu Tianheng's behavior.
"This kid, is he scared silly? Why did he fail at this time?"
"With this kind of psychological quality, is he qualified to be a captain?"
The abuse did not "wake up" Yu Tianheng, and he still stood straight in the same place.
The cardinal, who was the referee, couldn't help but look at the rest area of the Shrek team, "What's going on? Don't delay the game time. His Holiness the Pope still has things to deal with."
"We admit defeat!" Yu Xiaogang said calmly with his hands behind his back.
The referee's face darkened.
If you want to admit defeat, then admit defeat. Why do you have to do these meaningless things? Do you have to
wait until now and wait for the referee to ask before you speak?
"Oh? Why do you want to admit defeat?" Bibi Dong became interested and asked casually.
If it were a normal person, they would humbly express their lack of strength, in order to preserve their strength and not make meaningless resistance.
Yu Xiaogang, however, suddenly had an idea and said arrogantly, "I think it is our right to admit defeat."
"How dare you!"
The cardinal was furious, waiting for Bibi Dong's expression to arrest him.
Bibi Dong snorted and laughed, not wanting to bother with him, "If you want to admit defeat, then admit defeat. This is the first time I have seen someone speak in the same tone when admitting defeat as when winning the championship."
For a moment, the audience cast contemptuous eyes towards Shrek Academy.
The abuse continued, but Yu Xiaogang did not care.
...
Since the Shrek Academy team chose to admit defeat, then the next step will be easy.
The Qibao team will compete against the Spirit Hall Academy team in a ring match, and the winner will directly enter the winner group finals.
The two sides regard each other as opponents. This ring match will allow both sides to know each other's strength and facilitate targeted deployment later.
However, the Qibao team obviously will not give this opportunity.
Wu Qi stepped forward, facing Bibi Dong, and said respectfully: "Your Holiness, the Qibao team believes that it cannot defeat the Spirit Hall Academy team and voluntarily enters the loser group finals."
"Approved."
Bibi Dong tapped the ground lightly with the scepter in her hand.
The pre-match ring match did not take place, and the Qibao team and the Shrek team did not consume soul power.
Therefore, the loser group finals can be held today.
Before the game, Bibi Dong gave the two teams a stick of incense to rest.
The rest area of the Qibao team.
"Everyone should cheer up and don't lose face when facing the Shrek team."
"We will make specific arrangements after the draw results come out."
Sun Buyu looked at everyone with a serious face: "It has been several months since the Soul Master Competition started."
"In the next competition, I don't have any performance requirements for you. I just hope that everyone can have a clear conscience, be worthy of the efforts of the past few months, and be worthy of the dreams in your hearts."
"Okay, take the time to relax your muscles and don't affect your competition state."
Just now in front of the Pope's Palace, everyone knelt for a long time, and their legs were slightly numb.
Fortunately, the Qibao team has a large number of logistics soul masters, and two healing soul masters quickly repaired everyone's bodies.
Why didn't Bibi Dong arrange the draw first and then give the two teams a rest?
The reason is very simple. After the draw, the game has entered the "start" stage, and members of both teams are not allowed to get help from auxiliary soul masters.
The current situation is definitely a disadvantage for the Shrek team, which has almost no logistics.
