The commotion came and went quickly. With Tang Ritian and Tang San, father and son, dying one after another at the hands of Xiao Se, the entire arena was in an uproar. As they looked at Xiao Se again, everyone's eyes were filled with awe.
"Brother Xiao Se, is this Tang San?" Qian Renxue curiously examined the little spirit struggling mightily in Xiao Se's hand.
"Let me go, you bastard!" Tang San continued to struggle with all his might.
"That's right. If I had let him run away just now, he might have found a new infant for Possession." Xiao Se took out a jade bottle, placed him inside, and sealed the mouth of the bottle with his Exotic Fire. Immediately, Tang San's heart-wrenching screams came from within, making everyone present feel their scalps tingle.
Everyone returned to their original positions as Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong of Spirit Hall announced the winner of the competition. Meanwhile, Xiao Se burned Tang Ritian's corpse and retrieved the remaining three Spirit Bones. Seeing Xiao Se obtain six Spirit Bones all at once, two of which were extremely close to one hundred thousand years, everyone sighed incessantly.
The Continental AdvancedSpirit Master Academy Elite Tournament concluded, and the spectators and participants left one after another.
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi walked over with Sword Douluo and the Shrek group.
"Little Brother Xiao Se, now that Tang Hao and his son have died at your hands, I don't think the Clear Sky Sect will let this rest. Please be careful," Ning Fengzhi nodded and said.
"Thank you for the reminder," Xiao Se said. "However, I am a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and grudges. I killed Tang Hao because he ambushed me. If the Clear Sky Sect dares to take action because of this, I wouldn't mind letting them lose a few more Titled Douluo."
Ning Fengzhi nodded, not questioning the authenticity of Xiao Se's words, and immediately asked the question that had been on his mind: "What was that Tang San just now?"
"Oh, you mean this?" Xiao Se took out the jade bottle. "Tang San's Soul is inside."
"Xiao Se, you bastard, let me out! Ah! It hurts so much, stop burning me! Teacher, save me!" Tang San's shrill wails echoed from inside the jade bottle.
"Xiao Se, I wonder if you could spare Little San for the sake of my cousin Erlong?" Yu Xiaogang, standing to the side, asked with some trepidation.
"Let him out, and then let him continue to find newborn infants for Possession?" Xiao Se showed disdain.
"Xiao Se is right. Why let such a disaster out?" Liu Erlong took over the conversation, casting a sharp glance at Yu Xiaogang. "And, Yu Xiaogang. What do you mean 'for my sake'? I never said I wanted to let this old man who pretends to be young go."
The back-and-forth between Xiao Se and Liu Erlong left Yu Xiaogang speechless.
"It is indeed hair-raising." Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath. It was better to keep such a disaster locked up. He then cupped his hands at Xiao Se. "In that case, Sword Uncle and I will take our leave. You are welcome to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School at any time. Rongrong, are you coming back with us, or are you staying at Shrek?"
The last sentence was directed at Ning Rongrong. Now that Shrek was almost falling apart and the Continental AdvancedSpirit Master Academy Elite Tournament had ended, there was no great significance for Ning Rongrong to continue staying at Shrek Academy.
Ning Rongrong rolled her beautiful eyes, took a deep look at Xiao Se, and then shook her head. "Dad, you and Grandpa Sword go back first. I haven't reached level 40 yet, so I can't graduate from Shrek."
"Alright then, take care of yourself." Ning Fengzhi, who was good at observing people, saw the situation and didn't say much more. He turned his gaze to Liu Erlong and Flender and said, "Teacher Liu Erlong, Dean Flender, I'll leave Rongrong in your care."
"Please rest assured, Sect Master Ning," Flender and Liu Erlong nodded.
After Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo left, Xiao Se exchanged a few pleasantries with the Shrek group, and they parted ways.
Xiao Se went directly into the Supreme Pontiff Palace, while Qian Renxue returned to her residence; she needed to remove her disguise.
"Mr. Xiao Se, please follow me." As soon as he entered the Supreme Pontiff Palace, a golden-haired girl came up to greet him. It was Bibi Dong's Disciple, Hu Liena.
"Mm." Xiao Se responded and followed behind Hu Liena, looking at her enchanting and seductive figure with great interest. It had to be said that, setting aside other factors, in terms of attractiveness, only that little enchantress Ya Fei could compare to her. She had a natural charm that made people want to commit a crime just by looking at her.
Seemingly noticing Xiao Se's admiring gaze, Hu Liena asked suspiciously, "Mr. Xiao Se, what are you looking at?"
"Nothing, just thinking that you have developed quite well."
Hu Liena was stunned for a moment, then laughed innocently. "Hehe, I am far worse compared to Teacher."
As they spoke, the two continued to move forward.
It had to be said that the Supreme Pontiff Palace was truly huge, with an interior space no less than the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace. Bored, Xiao Se started a conversation. "Little Fox, have you been to Slaughter City? I seem to feel a sense of Killing Intent on you."
"Little Fox?" Hu Liena's mouth twitched. Teacher was right; this grandmaster of hers was indeed quite unreliable at times. She then nodded. "Mm. After I achieved a Breakthrough to Spirit King, Teacher sent me to Slaughter City for training. Thanks to the various Secret Manuals left behind by Grandmaster, I was able to come out of it without any danger."
Now that there were no guards around, Hu Liena simply called Xiao Se 'Grandmaster'.
"We've arrived. Grandmaster, please go in yourself." In front of a luxurious room, Hu Liena stopped and gestured.
Xiao Se nodded slightly and entered the room. The room was decorated very warmly, and the fragrance of camellias rushed toward him. Bibi Dong was sitting on a chair by the table. Seeing Xiao Se arrive, she stood up and threw herself into Xiao Se's arms.
Xiao Se opened his arms, hugged Bibi Dong, and said with a smile, "Has everything been resolved?"
"Mm. How do you plan to deal with that rabbit?" Bibi Dong asked softly.
"Let her perform a sacrifice; it just so happens that I'm missing a spirit ring." Xiao Se touched his right eye. Although Kotoamatsukami had not yet recovered, controlling a Spirit Beast that had taken human form to sacrifice itself for him was still simple.
"That works too." Xiao Wu's Spirit Ability tended toward the rule-based System. Although that wouldn't add much combat power to Xiao Se, it could increase his means of saving his life.
In the secret room of Spirit Hall, the sacrifice proceeded very smoothly, and it was the kind where the complete Soul was sacrificed together. As a result, Xiao Se obtained his seventh spirit ring. Although he did not have a Breakthrough to Dou Zong, it allowed him to obtain an extremely powerful seventh Spirit Ability: Flame True Body.
All fire-attribute skills were increased by one hundred percent. Any wisp of flame could become a host for Xiao Se himself. In other words, unless all flames were extinguished, Xiao Se could make his body appear anywhere within the range covered by flames at any time to dodge attacks. Furthermore, it also came with an intangibility effect.
In the process of casting Flame True Body, except for Soul attacks, all other attacks would lose their effect. However, Xiao Se could almost ignore Soul attacks because he possessed the Returning to Origin Soul Technique; unless the SoulRealm was one major Realm higher than his, they would be ineffective.
Of course, this was not invincible. If a Dou Zun used spatial means, Xiao Se would still be unable to escape and would have to rely on the System to teleport.
