The sudden arrival of Tang Chen sent a wave of shock through the battlefield. Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Devil Bear Douluo, and Ghost Leopard Douluo all stared in disbelief. Even Azure Luan Douluo, who was busy fighting Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, felt his pupils shrink as he watched the sky.
They could not believe what they were seeing. That impossible Spirit Ring configuration hit their minds like a heavy hammer.
"What?! Six hundred thousand year Spirit Rings? How is this even possible?" Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice shook with fear as he spoke.
"What is that white ring? Is it just a ten-year Spirit Ring? But look at this pressure..." Ghost Douluo's dark body flickered wildly, filled with doubt.
They could not understand the meaning of that platinum Spirit Ring. Their basic knowledge told them it should be weak, but the aura it gave off was terrifying and strange.
While the Spirit Hall powerhouses were frozen in shock, Tang Chen charged forward on the back of the Scarlet King. Now that he was closer, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo finally recognized his face.
"It's that kid Tang Chen! How can this be happening?" Chrysanthemum Douluo screamed in horror. He remembered only a few months ago when this boy had to rely on the protection of Vicious Beasts just to escape. Now, he had returned with power that defied logic.
Sensing a deadly crisis, Chrysanthemum Douluo shouted to his partner, "Old Ghost! Quick! Martial Soul Fusion Skill!".
Ghost Douluo knew this was a matter of life and death. He turned into a moving shadow and shot toward Chrysanthemum Douluo as fast as he could. Their spirit power began to swirl and merge together.
However, Tang Chen was even faster.
"Quick! Stop them! Don't let them finish the fusion!" the Scarlet King growled in a human voice, sensing the danger.
"Hmph!"
With a cold shout, Tang Chen leaped off the Scarlet King's back. He turned into a streak of blue light, flying through the night sky. Even though he started moving later, his speed was so great that he reached the center point before Ghost Douluo could reach Chrysanthemum Douluo.
As he flew, the Golden Dragon Spear in his hand exploded with a light that could pierce the heavens. He looked like he was one with the weapon. The two Spirit Hall elders felt their hearts tremble. Their fusion had just started, but the deadly spear was already upon them.
"Polaris Static Domain!".
The two Titled Douluo finally managed to clasp their hands together. Eighteen Spirit Ringsānine from eachāfloated out and began to glow. Their powerful domain was about to form.
"I'll show you a fusion!".
At the very last second, Tang Chen roared and thrust the Golden Dragon Spear forward. The spear did not hit their bodies directly. Instead, it pierced the exact spot where their spirit power was trying to join together.
It was like a hot knife cutting through ice. A loud explosion of energy followed. The pillar of light that was supposed to be their fusion skill fell apart, and their spirit power rushed back into them like a flood.
"Pfft!"
Both Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo groaned as blood spilled from their mouths. The backlash from the broken fusion made their internal energy go wild. They stared at Tang Chen, who was now floating in front of them with his spear ready.
"What? This kid's speed is impossible!" they shouted in disbelief. They hadn't even seen him move before their strongest skill was broken.
Feeling insulted and angry, the two elders went into a rage. They didn't even stop to catch their breath before launching their most powerful single-target attacks.
"Sixth Spirit Skill, Golden Stamen Flowing Hues!".
Chrysanthemum Douluo made his Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum spin fast. Thousands of golden lights flew at Tang Chen like sharp petals.
"Sixth Spirit Ability, Ghostly Shadows!".
Ghost Douluo split into dozens of shadows. Each one had sharp claws and attacked Tang Chen from every side, leaving him no room to move.
The combined attack of two Titled Douluo was massive. The golden light and dark shadows looked like they would tear the air apart. But Tang Chen remained as calm as water. He simply moved his wrist and drew a golden arc in the air with his spear.
That simple move seemed to follow a higher law of power. When the golden petals hit the arc, they simply vanished like they were falling into the sea. Tang Chen didn't even move an inch.
Then, the platinum million-year Spirit Ring at his feet began to glow. A massive wave of mental force spread out instantly.
"Mental Interference!".
Under the pressure of this pure mental power, the fake ghost shadows disappeared like snow in the sun. This left only the real Ghost Douluo frozen in mid-air, his face full of shock.
No one expected that a full-power attack from two Titled Douluo could be stopped so easily by Tang Chen. The entire battlefield became silent. The gap in strength was so large that people were too scared to speak.
Seeing that Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo were helpless, Devil Bear Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo looked at each other with fear. They shouted together, "We can't wait! Let's all attack and kill this kid together!".
In a second, both of them charged forward. Dark gold and black spirit power exploded around them. They turned into two streaks of light, one on the left and one on the right, trying to ambush Tang Chen while he was distracted.
