While Tang San was pondering how to obtain the autumn water dew, the entire Douluo Continent was buzzing with discussion due to Yu Xiaogang's achievement of slaying a Spirit Saint while only being a Spirit Ancestor.
Everyone was clear that Yu Xiaogang was able to slay a Spirit Saint because of his formidable Mental Energy.
It was only at this moment that the people of the Douluo Continent realized for the first time that when Mental Energy became powerful enough, it could actually achieve such feats.
Thus, in an instant, a craze for pursuing Mental Energy swept across the Douluo Continent.
Who wouldn't want to possess strength that exceeded their own Realm?
Especially those mental-type Spirit Masters; they all went crazy.
They believed that as Spirit Masters specializing in Mental Energy, their own Mental Energy would not be inferior to Yu Xiaogang's.
But no matter how they tried, no one could achieve the same effect as Yu Xiaogang.
Thus, the group of mental-type Spirit Masters began to look for the problem, eventually concluding that they lacked a suitable opportunity to truly master their own Spiritual Power like Yu Xiaogang.
So, how could they encounter this opportunity?
Hey! Didn't Yu Xiaogang already demonstrate it? Between life and death is the best opportunity!
So, these mental-type Spirit Masters began finding people to attack them, attempting to place themselves in the danger of being on the verge of death.
But unfortunately, the people attacking knew they couldn't use lethal force, and the Spirit Masters getting beaten also knew the other party couldn't possibly use lethal force.
In the end, these mental-type Spirit Masters just paid money to get a good beating.
As for entering a near-death state in a more dangerous way?
Just kidding, that would actually kill them!
So in the end, the mental-type Spirit Masters spent their money and got beaten, but their Mental Energy remained exactly the same as it was before.
The only ones who enjoyed it were the Spirit Masters who did the beating.
Beating others without any liability and getting paid for it—such a job was something they had never seen in their lives.
Of course, that is a story for another time.
[The video continues...]
[The death of Zui Qiansha caused the other two battlefields to instantly fall silent.]
[On the side of the Spirit Hall Academy Second Team, Bibi Dong, who was in the midst of a fierce battle with two Spirit Kings, nearly shrieked in frustration upon seeing this scene.]
["You are being too ridiculous!!!"]
[She was a Spirit Ancestor, and with the support of her teammates, she was fighting two Spirit Kings, yet the battle was still evenly matched.]
[He was also a Spirit Ancestor, fighting a Spirit Saint without any support, yet he killed the Spirit Saint before she could?]
[If this hadn't happened right before her eyes, Bibi Dong wouldn't have believed he even if she were beaten to death.]
["Is this the captain's true combat power? It's too terrifying."]
[Xu Xiaoxing and Jiang Lanlan, who were huddled to the side stacking attributes, were so shocked they nearly lost their voices.]
[A Spirit Saint, that was a Spirit Saint!]
[The dream of their group was to one day become a Spirit Saint themselves.]
[Yet now, a living Spirit Saint had been taken out right before them by their own Spirit Ancestor-level captain.]
[Is there anything more ridiculous in this world than this?]
[In any case, Xu Xiaoxing and the others couldn't think of anything.]
["When the captain is a Spirit Ancestor, he can kill a Spirit Saint. When the captain becomes a Spirit Saint, wouldn't he be able to rival a Titled Douluo?"]
["Then when the captain becomes a Titled Douluo, how strong will he be?"]
[Tian Qingqing said with a dazed expression.]
[Is this what the Young Sect Master of the Upper Three Sects, the son of a Titled Douluo, can achieve?]
[As expected, this isn't something that Spirit Masters from civilian backgrounds like them can imagine.]
[It was fortunate that Bibi Dong didn't know what Tian Qingqing was thinking, otherwise she would have told her very seriously that not every son of a Titled Douluo could achieve such things.]
[Yu Xiaogang is simply a freak.]
[Bibi Dong dared to say that with Yu Xiaogang's abilities, even if he were just a Spirit Master from a civilian background, he could still achieve many unbelievable things.]
[However, being born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect did indeed give him a more suitable stage.]
[On the other side, Lin Lang, who was struggling a bit while fighting Taishan because his Soul Power Rank was lower, couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw Yu Xiaogang successfully kill Zui Qiansha.]
["Hahahaha, well done! Truly worthy of being the Young Sect Master of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect!"]
[After laughing, Lin Lang looked at Taishan, whose face was ashen, his eyes full of mockery.]
["Well, Spirit Douluo Taishan of the Strength Clan, do you think my Young Sect Master is worthy of praise?"]
["Is he worthy of the Sect Master and Elders' care?"]
[Taishan took a deep breath, his gaze towards Lin Lang becoming fierce.]
["That kid is indeed good. Being able to take out Zui Qiansha counts as impressive, but the problem is, right now you have to take me out too, in order to end this battle."]
["You don't actually think that kid can take me out too, do you?"]
[Hearing this, Lin Lang snorted coldly.]
["It seems you are prepared to walk down this path to the end. In that case, don't blame us for whatever fate befalls your Strength Clan."]
[Hearing this, Taishan's gaze became even more dangerous.]
[He really didn't expect things to reach this point.]
[According to his original plan, he would kill everyone present and then eliminate all traces.]
[In this way, this incident would become an unsolved case.]
[Even if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect knew that his grandson had been crippled by Yu Xiaogang and that he had a motive to act.]
[But without evidence, they wouldn't be able to hold him accountable.]
[He was a Spirit Douluo after all, the Clear Sky Sect would protect him.]
[But who could have imagined that Yu Xiaogang was such a Heaven-Defying character.]
[A mere Spirit Ancestor actually killed a Spirit Saint by jumping Ranks.]
[It's absolutely ridiculous!]
[However, Taishan was not yet in despair.]
[Yu Xiaogang could kill a Spirit Saint, but he clearly couldn't kill a Spirit Douluo.]
[As long as he used his full strength to kill this group of people next, things could still return to his original plan.]
[But even so, Taishan's heart was still filled with gloom.]
[After all, just as Lin Lang said, Yu Xiaogang was indeed worthy of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's care and attention.]
[Even if he really could kill everyone, if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect found out that their precious Young Sect Master had been killed, wouldn't they go crazy?]
[How much of a price would the Clear Sky Sect have to pay to protect them then?]
[The more Taishan thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, so he simply stopped thinking. Things had reached this point; even if he knelt and begged for mercy now, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect would not let him go.]
[So, rather than his Strength Clan losing alone, it would be better for both them and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect to lose.]
["If you want my Strength Clan to pay the price, you'd better pray that you can survive first!"]
[While speaking, Taishan circulated his Soul Power and fought Lin Lang with all his might.]
[Within a few exchanges, Lin Lang felt Taishan's madness.]
[The posture of risking everything just to kill him was like a gambler at a table who had lost their mind and was down to their last chip.]
[Facing such a Taishan, even Lin Lang didn't want to clash head-on with him.]
[After a few more rounds of fighting, Taishan punched Lin Lang back, then suddenly turned and rushed towards Yu Xiaogang's direction.]
["Trying that again!"]
[Lin Lang was furious at the sight and prepared to use a Spirit Ability to stop Taishan; he would not let the previous mistake happen twice.]
[But in the next second, Lin Lang abandoned the plan to chase after him.]
[Because a figure appeared on the path of Taishan's advance.]
[The newcomer was surrounded by blue thunder, his Spirit fully possessed, appearing before everyone in the form of an angry Dragon.]
["You beast, what are you trying to do to the Young Sect Master of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect?!?"]
[Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—nine spirit rings circled him.]
[It was none other than the Grand Elder, who had already achieved a Breakthrough to Titled Douluo, with the title Thunder Abyss!]
