"Xiao Wu, you really..." Liu Erlong was full of disbelief.
She never would have thought.
Xiao Wu, who they spent day and night with, was actually a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast.
Thinking about her previous idea of taking her as a goddaughter,
Liu Erlong only felt it was ridiculous.
A Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast!
At her age, she probably didn't even have a fraction of the other's years.
Yu Xiaogang was also stunned.
He, who claimed to be 'invincible in theory,' had known Xiao Wu for so long,
yet he hadn't noticed a single clue.
Flender and the rest of the Shrek crowd all had different expressions.
"Guards!"
"Capture this Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast immediately!"
Bibi Dong said coldly.
The next second.
Chrysanthemum and Ghost leapt down, heading straight for Xiao Wu.
Just then.
A long sword shot out and landed on the arena stage.
Chen Xin slowly descended from the air, blocking their path.
Bibi Dong gave Ning Fengzhi a cold look and said indifferently, "School Master Ning, what is the meaning of this from your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
"Your Holiness, the competition is still ongoing. For Spirit Hall to make such a fuss and capture a contestant, isn't it somewhat inappropriate?" Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.
Seeing someone backing them up,
Yu Xiaogang immediately became bold again: "School Master Ning is right. On what grounds does Spirit Hall capture a student of our Shrek Academy for no reason? If Spirit Hall doesn't give an explanation, I'm afraid it won't be able to convince the public."
"Exactly. Even if Xiao Wu is a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast, she is innocent and lively and hasn't done anything wrong. Why are you capturing her?" Liu Erlong chimed in.
But they could say what they wanted.
Jin Mian had no intention of stopping.
spirit power condensed in his right fist, augmented by an external Spirit Bone.
He charged fiercely toward Tang San and Xiao Wu.
"Stop! As an Elder of Spirit Hall, I order the competition to be suspended!"
"Therefore, Jin Mian, you are not to act! Do you hear me?"
"Bibi Dong, if anything happens to Little San today, I, Yu Xiaogang, swear to be your sworn enemy!"
Yu Xiaogang roared.
Hearing this,
Bibi Dong grew anxious and shouted at Jin Mian, "Stop at once!"
With that, she tapped the ground with her scepter.
An attack formed of spirit power shot rapidly toward Jin Mian.
Suddenly.
A tall, elderly figure appeared.
He raised his hand and blocked Bibi Dong's attack.
"Bibi Dong! You've gone too far!" Jin E stared at Bibi Dong with a cold gaze.
This poisonous woman—it was one thing to be ungrateful and betray her own,
but now she actually wanted to strike her own grandson.
How could Jin E endure this?
He flashed out from the Hall of Worship to support Jin Mian.
But Jin Mian didn't pay attention to anyone.
He focused solely on his own task.
He raised his fist and unleashed a descending fist technique toward Tang San and Xiao Wu.
The terrifying pressure of the fist
forced Xiao Wu to her knees on the ground.
Seeing she couldn't dodge the blow, Xiao Wu gave the still-unconscious Tang San a deep, affectionate look.
She then prepared to use her final resort.
Unexpectedly, just then...
Bang!!!
Swish!
A sharp sword qi surged upward, clashing violently with Jin Mian's fist technique.
Jin Mian's pupils constricted: "Sword Douluo Chen Xin!"
Then, Ning Fengzhi's voice rang out again.
"Contestant Jin Mian, isn't this too against the rules? Didn't you hear His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff tell you to stop?"
"Could it be that you don't respect the Supreme Pontiff?"
Ning Fengzhi intended to use the Supreme Pontiff's command to scare off Jin Mian.
Unfortunately,
his calculations were wrong.
Jin Mian said bluntly, "What bullshit Supreme Pontiff? A woman with a sick mind—do you think I'd listen to her? Ridiculous."
"On the other hand, you, Ning Fengzhi, actually went out of your way to save an unrelated person."
"You..." Ning Fengzhi's eyes widened.
Good grief.
The usually high-and-mighty Supreme Pontiff
was actually belittled by this kid as if she were worthless.
He even said Bibi Dong was sick in the head in front of so many people.
Whose subordinate was this guy?
So bold?!
Ning Fengzhi struck the ground with his scepter: "Who says it's unrelated? This young friend Tang San is from the Clear Sky Sect, which belongs to the Upper Three Sects along with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
"The Upper Three Sects are connected at the roots; how could an ignorant child like you understand?"
"Heh, hahaha..."
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Jin Mian couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Ning Fengzhi, we're all thousand-year-old foxes here; don't try to play games with me."
"This 'Upper Three Sects are connected' talk is nothing but polite nonsense."
"You, Ning Fengzhi, keep saying that just to maintain the image and status of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and to bring more benefits to your Sect."
"Do you dare say you aren't eyeing the Clear Sky Sect behind Tang San?"
"Or perhaps, you have no designs on this hundred-thousand-year-old rabbit?"
"Stop pretending to be so noble."
Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was one of the Upper Three Sects,
Jin Mian didn't care about them at all.
After all, this was Spirit City, his turf.
A single Chen Xin, even with Ning Fengzhi's support,
couldn't make a splash.
Seeing his long-maintained image as the 'nice guy' of the Spirit Master's world exposed,
Ning Fengzhi's expression turned incredibly ugly.
Seeing Ning Fengzhi being insulted like this,
Chen Xin also grew angry: "Jin Mian, is it? Let me see how much weight you actually carry as a Level 83 Spirit Douluo!"
"You'll know once you try," Jin Mian's eyes narrowed.
He raised his right fist, increased his spirit power, and smashed down hard.
Chen Xin also raised his sword and slashed forward.
Boom!
Another collision, producing a violent sound.
Both were knocked back several meters by the residual force.
Chen Xin was stunned, his right hand holding the sword trembling incessantly.
He hadn't expected that with his cultivation as a Level 96 Super Douluo, he would only be evenly matched with the opponent.
You should know,
normally,
let alone a Spirit Douluo,
even a Titled Douluo of the same level might not be able to fight Chen Xin to a draw.
"Is this the enhancement brought by a 100,000-year spirit ring?"
Chen Xin couldn't help but marvel.
In his heart, his desire for a 100,000-year spirit ring reached its peak.
"I don't have that much free time to play with you."
"Go save someone else."
Jin Mian launched an attack toward Ning Fengzhi.
Seeing this, Chen Xin quickly moved in front of Ning Fengzhi to block the attack for him.
Taking advantage of this gap,
Jin Mian dashed forward to strike at Tang San once more.
Unexpectedly,
someone else blocked the way.
"The Sun and Moon Shine Together, Golden Rotation!"
Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong all acted at once.
Unleashing their Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Yu Xiaogang's Luo San Pao transformed into a Golden Sacred Dragon and charged toward Jin Mian.
Jin Mian grew impatient.
He thought to himself,
why was it so hard to kill Tang San?
Why was there always someone stepping in to block him?
Could this be the legendary Protagonist's Halo at work?
Whenever the protagonist is in danger,
someone will come to their aid.
After slapping the three of them away,
he stopped wasting words.
He directly unleashed his second spirit skill, a long-range Spirit Ability—Golden Flash.
Just as it was about to hit Tang San,
a Black-Robed Figure appeared in front of Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Jin Mian screamed in his heart: Is there no end to this?!!!
