Tang San said, "Boss Yu, for the final battle, let me be the one to kill Bibi Dong. If you do it, even though Qianren Xue loves you, I believe she would choose to leave you. But if I do it, things will be different."
Ye Yu nodded; killing Bibi Dong himself would be too cruel for Qianren Xue, also leaving her feeling pitiful.
Even if Qianren Xue loves him, she could never stay with the one who killed her mother. Tang San clearly understood this and planned to take the blame. This way, it wouldn't be too hard for Qianren Xue.
Afterward, Ye Yu and the others arrived at Jialing Pass, where Xue Beng was delighted because the Martial Soul Empire's army had already assembled.
The entire army of the Martial Soul Empire was congregated, ready for the final battle. Originally, it was under Qianren Xue's orders, but now, she wouldn't be coming, and knowing Bibi Dong was about to transform into a God, the Martial Soul Empire army was incredibly confident, with immense morale, for they would soon have two double Gods. Their odds of winning in this battle were high.
Xue Beng was worried, but with Ye Yu and Tang San there, he felt at ease.
Tang San stated, "This final battle should begin."
Xue Beng was excited: "With you here, this battle will definitely be a victory. The generals have arranged the strategy and can engage in full force at any time."
Tang San shook his head: "In this battle, neither I nor Boss Yu will participate."
Hearing this, Xue Beng was astonished: "Why... why is that?"
He knew Tang San had already become a God, and although Ye Yu had not, he possessed divine-level strength. Despite Qianren Xue of the Martial Soul Empire becoming a God, they had Sea God and Ye Yu.
Ye Yu said, "Angel God Qianren Xue will not be fighting, so don't worry. Before Bibi Dong becomes a God, the only threat you face is the Martial Soul Empire army. Therefore, Xiao San and I will not join the battle; leaving it to them will be sufficient. Your army also doesn't need to dispatch troops."
Xue Beng was stunned; Ye Yu was clearly referring to handing it over to Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong.
Xue Beng was baffled: "But... the Martial Soul Empire has an army of a hundred thousand, with many Soul Masters among them, including three Titled Douluos and numerous Soul Douluos. Even with seven Titled Douluos, it's hard to manage, not to mention eighty thousand elite ordinary people. Even if they are ordinary, the comprehensive combat power is enough that even three Titled Douluos wouldn't dare underestimate them. So, at least ten Titled Douluos are needed to counter the Martial Soul Empire's hundred-thousand-strong army. Although they are your companions and indeed monsters, I believe if our Tian Dou army joins in, it would be possible."
Xue Beng thought that having only six people would be impossible to win.
Other generals confidently stated, "We've discussed the strategy for many days and nights, let us dispatch the troops."
Ye Yu was helpless: "I've told you, with us here, your strategic discussions are unnecessary. This time, your discussion was still in vain. My six companions are enough; they are already Titled Douluos. Combined, their strength is no weaker than ten Titled Douluos, perhaps even stronger."
Immediately, Xue Beng was extremely shocked, how did they grow so quickly?!
In this battle, allowing only Ma Hongjun and the others to fight was also for training, to let them stretch their muscles and bones, opposing the entire Martial Soul Empire's hundred-thousand-strong army. It's an exercise; they haven't properly engaged in battle for a while. Now becoming Titled Douluos, it's time to battle to consolidate their strength.
Ma Hongjun confidently smiled and said, "Leave it to us. We don't even know how strong we've become now, so we need to test it in actual combat."
Xue Beng nodded: "Alright."
Then, the Six Monsters moved towards the Martial Soul Empire's army.
After arriving, Dai Mubai and the others were already impatient. With Ye Yu before, they were always relaxed, but this battle wouldn't be easy, and their blood was boiling.
"Fight! The strongest Titled Douluo is mine."
Dai Mubai let out a majestic roar, resonating throughout the Martial Soul Empire's army, instantly putting the entire army in orderly motion.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...
The Titled Douluos of the Martial Soul Hall were almost all killed by Ye Yu, but three remained.
Around Dai Mubai, the seventh spirit ring gleamed, golden fur emerged, and in an instant, he turned into a giant tiger over ten meters long. His golden fur stood erect like needles, and nine spirit rings surrounded the tiger body. Notably, the ninth red hundred-thousand-year spirit ring made everyone's pupils in the Martial Soul Empire shrink.
Dai Mubai's wild and domineering aura made the Martial Soul army tremble.
Seeing six dare come before their army, they originally thought it was foolish beyond belief, but now they dared not underestimate.
Simultaneously, a resounding phoenix cry arose, and a glaring blaze shot into the sky. Everyone looked up, their pupils contracting as they saw a giant nine-headed Fire Phoenix; even high in the sky, they felt a wave of heat making it hard to keep their eyes open.
It was Ma Hongjun, using his True Martial Soul, in the sky.
The scorching temperature shook them, further astonished by another Titled Douluo whose ninth spirit ring was a hundred thousand years!
The shock hadn't ceased yet; suddenly, a black light flashed by, moving so fast that even the Martial Soul Empire's Titled Douluos couldn't see it clearly, with nine spirit rings around it, the ninth being a hundred thousand years.
Oscar ate a Cloned Sausage, assuming the same powerful aura as Dai Mubai, equal to a hundred percent of Dai Mubai's combat power.
Pink light burst from Xiao Wu, emanating immensely flexible powerful energy from her person, and nine spirit rings swirling around her made Titled Douluos feel intensely threatened, as if approaching would be disastrous.
Ning Rongrong stood at the back; the Nine Treasures Glaze Tower instantaneously enlarged, becoming a towering thirteen-meter real treasure tower.
Around the gigantic tower, nine spirit rings circled: purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, red, red.
Because Ning Rongrong received top-level seven trials on Sea God Island, same as Xiao Wu, their spirit ring configuration was terrifyingly formidable.
Releasing their Martial Souls, the six became the focus, transforming the demeanor of the Martial Soul Empire army repeatedly, from contempt to solemnity, to shock, to dread.
Initially thought to be here to die, now the entire Martial Soul Empire army, ten thousand people, each prepared to fight to the death.
Six Titled Douluos with terrifying spirit ring setups alongside them—the ninth ring generally a ten-thousand year one among Titled Douluos, known only for Bibi Dong and Tang Hao—now unbelievably, six Titled Douluos all possessed a hundred-thousand year ninth spirit ring.
The Martial Soul Empire's three Titled Douluo were elderly, deeply shocked, disbelieving.
"How...How is this possible? They appear just over twenty and are Titled Douluos, and…the ninth spirit ring is a hundred thousand years?!"
"Even if Yangtze River's waves have younger ones surpassing the older generation, this is excessively amazing!"
"Has the era changed, or are we unlucky? How can so many monsters exist in this era?!"
The expressions of the three Titled Douluos were exceedingly grave.
"Where's the Angel God?"
"I don't know; ever since heading out a few days back, haven't returned."
"What now? With the Angel God, not sending troops would suffice, but now absent, deploying our entire force—even in victory—entails significant loss."
"Let's fight! It seems they're prepared to go all-in."
"It's our only option, hopefully the Angel God returns soon."
...
They originally believed confidently that the Martial Soul Empire could triumph, despite knowing of Ye Yu's terrifying presence within the Tian Dou Empire. They anticipated soon having two Gods, not bothered by the presence of Ye Yu.
