It was a Spirit Bone.
More precisely, it was an external Spirit Bone, a sternum.
Although Wang Nan's self-created Move sounded unremarkable, it was an attack that integrated his mental force, spirit power, and will, condensing all of Wang Nan's previous insights.
This kind of Move was called "Monarch's Descent" when used by Mu En, and "Haodong's Three Ultimates" when used by Huo Yuhao.
Therefore, even though it seemed like an ordinary "dot," not everyone could easily withstand it.
Ji Tongxuan was able to take this rod strike without dying, even with his Spirit sealed, precisely because of this external Spirit Bone.
Wang Nan didn't know the specific effects of this Spirit Bone, but from the current situation, it could at least enhance his defense and, to a certain extent, replace the internal organs in the chest cavity to maintain normal activity.
The two Spirit Kings who were with Ji Tongxuan were about to attack again, but Ji Tongxuan stopped them.
"Come here!"
The two Spirit Kings showed painful expressions, but their bodies still flew involuntarily towards Ji Tongxuan.
'Not good.'
Wang Nan understood Ji Tongxuan's Spirit. Crying Blood Crow could enhance him by absorbing the spirit power of bird-type Spirit Masters. During the freshman assessment, Ji Tongxuan's spirit power Rank was similar to his, and just absorbing the spirit power of one Spirit Grandmaster allowed him to overpower him head-on.
At this moment, Ji Tongxuan's spirit power already surpassed his, and if he absorbed the spirit power of two more Spirit Kings, he would be even harder to deal with.
Thinking of this, Wang Nan's soul-guided thrusters behind him activated again. His body instantly shot out, wanting to deal with Ji Tongxuan before the two Spirit Kings could reach him.
However, one of the Spirit Kings suddenly lunged at Wang Nan.
Wang Nan pushed his hands forward, swinging the Coiling Dragon Staff towards this Spirit King.
This Spirit King, however, did not dodge or evade, taking the blow with his body.
The Coiling Dragon Staff's swing generated a gust of wind, blowing up the Spirit King's cloak and revealing the face beneath.
This was a young child, still with some childishness on his face. At this moment, two tear stains fell down his cheeks, followed by bright light bursting from his eyes. His entire spirit power, along with his body, exploded in front of Wang Nan.
"Xiao Nan!"
Gongyang Mo exclaimed when he saw this.
However, as the light dispersed, Wang Nan was unharmed, the glow of his invincible shield slowly fading around him.
Blood rain fell on the dark green cloak, merging with the blood of the two previous Spirit Kings.
Looking at Ji Tongxuan, his black cloak was now torn, and the clothes underneath were mostly soaked in blood. The expression on his face was no longer hidden, his eyes filled with madness.
Ji Tongxuan extended his left hand, grabbing the other Spirit King's head. In just one breath, his sealed Spirit was released again.
Spirit power continuously poured into his body, and the Spirit King in his hand shriveled rapidly, as if all moisture had been drained from him. In contrast, Ji Tongxuan's originally gaunt body gradually became plump, and even the injuries on his chest slowly recovered.
Seeing Wang Nan safe and sound, Gongyang Mo's other Spirit Abilities also quickly landed on Wang Nan.
A rainbow seemed to surround Wang Nan.
With Gongyang Mo's assistance, Wang Nan's first spirit ring lit up, and he sped towards Ji Tongxuan.
But Ji Tongxuan's body unexpectedly rose into the air.
Wang Nan looked at Ji Tongxuan's back and saw his wings pressed tightly against his back.
This was not him flying by using his Spirit's ability, but because his spirit power had reached Rank 70.
On the Douluo Continent, only those with a spirit power Rank of 70 could fly in the air. Ji Tongxuan's Spirit could be enhanced by absorbing the spirit power of bird-type Spirit Masters. At this moment, the spirit power of one Spirit King was absorbed by him, temporarily bringing his spirit power to Rank 70.
Wang Nan looked up at Ji Tongxuan in mid-air. For some reason, even though he knew that Ji Tongxuan's spirit power Rank surpassed his by more than ten Ranks, even though he knew that he now possessed the cultivation of a Spirit Saint, there was no trace of fear in Wang Nan's heart, nor had he ever had the slightest thought of escaping.
Earlier, Wang Nan's father, Wang Xing, told him a story about a Dragon. Wang Xing told him that only those with a heart of justice and a fearless heart could truly awaken the Coiling Dragon Staff.
In truth, Wang Nan didn't fully believe it at the time. As for a heart of justice, he might have a little. But a fearless heart, he had never possessed.
But it wasn't until he faced Ji Tongxuan that Wang Nan realized that perhaps, from the very beginning, he already had this thing called a fearless heart.
The Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand became somewhat scorching, and Wang Nan's mental force sea instantly boiled.
Spirit power surged, and the soul-guided thrusters behind him emitted a dazzling light. Wang Nan gripped the Coiling Dragon Staff tightly with both hands and flew towards Ji Tongxuan. A strange tiger-like Spirit Beast appeared in his mental force sea at some point.
Wang Nan had never felt himself in such good condition. His mental force and spirit power merged, and the Coiling Dragon Staff struck down on Ji Tongxuan.
Coiling Dragon's Fourth Move — Slash.
Even with the cultivation of a Spirit Saint, facing Wang Nan's strike, Ji Tongxuan unconsciously took half a step back.
The Aura emanating from Wang Nan reminded him of some unpleasant memories.
Back on the arena during the freshman assessment finals, Wang Nan had defeated him just as easily as he was now.
"Times have changed!"
Ji Tongxuan roared, as if to shout out the fear in his heart.
His fourth spirit ring lit up, and Ji Tongxuan's blood-red wings spread, now even larger than before. A dense bloody Aura rushed towards him, and an invisible wave surged towards Wang Nan, the dark red staining half the sky.
Wang Nan did not dodge or evade, gripping the Coiling Dragon Staff and meeting it head-on.
A sound seemed to echo in the air, and a golden light split the dark red sky in two.
In a house on the ground, a gasp of surprise quietly emerged, but was quickly muffled.
At this moment, Ji Tongxuan no longer had the composure he had when he first rose into the air. His expression became increasingly ferocious. With a shake of his wings, his body soared higher again, then he turned, extended his hands, and his fifth and sixth spirit rings lit up simultaneously. Blood-red flowing light enveloped his entire body as he lunged at Wang Nan.
Previously, Ji Tongxuan's use of his fifth Spirit Ability was not easy, even accompanied by pain. But after his spirit power reached Rank 70, he completed the fifth Spirit Ability in just an instant.
The Aura of a Spirit Saint descended from the sky. Wang Nan took a deep breath, and instead, removed the Tyrannosaurus Armor he had been wearing from the beginning.
All his spirit power was concentrated bit by bit. Only the Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand became increasingly bright, and the giant Dragon on it became even more solid.
Indeed, a Spirit Saint still needed the power of a Spirit Saint to defeat.
Wang Nan's consciousness sank into his mental force sea and merged with the ball of light. He gripped the Coiling Dragon Staff tightly, swinging it high from bottom to top.
At this instant, the Coiling Dragon Staff seemed to dim, with no light or sound around it. It silently connected with Ji Tongxuan's hands.
The next moment, Wang Nan no longer had the spirit power to maintain his Spirit, and the Coiling Dragon Staff disappeared into the night sky.
Ji Tongxuan also disappeared with it, leaving only a rain of blood falling on Wang Nan's dark green cloak.
