"What?! A hundred-thousand-year spirit ring?!"
"How is that possible? It's actually a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring!"
"This little brat…"
The moment that brilliant, crimson spirit ring appeared, every Spirit Master present was utterly stunned. Almost every gaze was fixed on Dai Weisi.
The reason was simple—he possessed a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, a treasure that every Spirit Master could only dream of obtaining! Even Tang Yuehua was captivated by Dai Weisi's spirit ring, momentarily forgetting about the gravely injured Tang Xiao.
"As expected of His Highness the Crown Prince. It's only been half a month, yet you've already broken through to rank seventy and obtained a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring!" Yue Guan gritted his teeth, his voice filled with intense envy and jealousy. In his heart, he roared, "Damn it! Why does this guy's strength increase so quickly?! Why does he get all the good things?!"
"A hundred-thousand-year spirit ring… how interesting!" Spirit Harpy Douluo chuckled as she slowly walked toward Dai Weisi. "To be honest, little brother, aside from His Holiness the Pope and Tang Hao, you are only the third person I've ever seen with a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring. To have your seventh spirit ring be a hundred-thousand-year one… not even His Holiness the Pope achieved that."
As she spoke, Spirit Harpy Douluo licked her crimson lips with a smile. "Little brother, you truly are becoming more and more fascinating to me! My third spirit ability…"
Her third spirit ring suddenly flared, releasing a wave of intense heat toward Dai Weisi. It created a blazing tornado that completely engulfed him.
"Scorching Inferno!"
Facing the oncoming heatwave, Dai Weisi neither dodged nor used a spirit ability. He simply stood there, seemingly frozen. Yet, despite this, the heatwave failed to cause him the slightest harm.
Staring at the unharmed Dai Weisi, Spirit Harpy Douluo's face turned pale with shock. "How… how is this possible?! You're completely unscathed!"
"Hmph. A mere wave of heat, and you think you can injure me? Keep dreaming!"
"That's right… I remember that during the finals, not even the spirit fusion skill of Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian could harm you. Could it be… are you immune to all fire-attribute spirit abilities?"
After consuming the Fiery Apricot Inferno Fruit, Dai Weisi was immune to all fire-attribute attacks unless they were Ultimate Flames.
"It's not that I'm immune to every fire-attribute spirit ability. It's just that you, Elder Harpy… are too weak! With such pitiful heat, you'd be better off opening a barbecue stand!"
Those words made Spirit Harpy Douluo's blood boil. She had been belittled by a mere Spirit Saint! This was absolutely unforgivable!
"What did you say?!"
"Didn't hear me clearly? Then I'll repeat it: you're too weak. If you're weak, you should train more!"
"Good! Very good! You little brat, you're the first person who has dared to speak to me like that. I guarantee you'll pay a heavy price for your words! My eighth spirit ability…"
"Roar!"
Just as Spirit Harpy Douluo prepared to unleash her eighth spirit ability, a thunderous roar echoed from behind her, shaking the heavens. Turning around, she saw a colossal Netherworld White Tiger, over twenty meters tall, standing right behind her.
"Harming my son is a death wish!" The Netherworld White Tiger raised its massive paw and slammed it down toward Spirit Harpy Douluo with immense force.
Facing the terrifying power of the Netherworld White Tiger, Spirit Harpy Douluo didn't dare take the strike head-on. She quickly unfurled her wings and retreated, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.
"ROAR!!"
The Netherworld White Tiger roared again, its cry shaking the earth. Then Dai Pojun shouted, "Your opponent is me! White Tiger Legion—attack!"
"Kill!"
At Dai Pojun's command, battle cries thundered as thirty thousand White Tiger soldiers drew their repeating muskets and grenades, unleashing a barrage of fire upon the Spirit Hall forces.
Because the peaks of Clear Sky Sect were connected by iron suspension bridges, the soldiers did not use cannons to avoid destroying the bridges. Instead, they attacked with muskets and grenades.
Even so, the simultaneous gunfire of thirty thousand White Tiger soldiers dealt a devastating blow to the Spirit Hall forces. In just over a minute, more than a hundred Soul Kings had fallen to the White Tiger Legion.
"Damn it! Those strange weapons again! Old Ghost, let's go together. We must take down this Netherworld White Tiger first!"
The Netherworld White Tiger, a fusion of Dai Pojun and Zhu Yaqin, possessed combat power on par with a rank ninety-six Super Douluo. One-on-one, Yue Guan was no match for the couple, so he had to join forces with Ghost Douluo.
"Tianyu, Xiaoxue!"
"Understood! Eight Treasures, brilliant as ever: one for attack, two for speed, three for strength, four for defense!"
"Fifth Spirit Skill: Amplification!"
With Ning Tianyu and Chen Xue's support, the Netherworld White Tiger's strength, speed, attack, and defense all increased by more than fifty percent, raising its combat power to the peak of rank ninety-seven. The Netherworld White Tiger charged at Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, fighting them both at once.
Only then did Dai Weisi finally get a chance to check on Tang Yuehua. He rushed over and asked with concern, "Sister Yuehua, are you alright? I'm sorry, we arrived late!"
Tang Yuehua shook her head through her sobs. "I'm fine… but my brother, my brother…"
Looking at the dying Tang Xiao, Dai Weisi frowned. Tang Xiao was severely wounded, and his right arm was severed. Even if he survived, his strength would be greatly reduced. He might end up like Tang Hao in the original story, losing a limb and seeing his spirit power drop by ten ranks.
Dai Weisi brushed his finger across his storage ring, taking out several pills and handing them to Tang Yuehua. "Sister Yuehua, these are Blood-Replenishing Pills refined by Senior Yang. They can speed up healing, stop bleeding, and mend injuries. First, give them to Sect Master Tang, then quickly gather all support-type Spirit Masters to treat him with full power. Whether he survives… will depend on fate."
"Alright!"
Grasping at this last shred of hope, Tang Yuehua immediately stopped crying. She fed the pill into Tang Xiao's mouth and used her spirit power to dissolve and absorb it.
As expected of Master Alchemist Yang Wudi, the Blood-Replenishing Pill was highly effective. Almost instantly after ingestion, the bleeding from Tang Xiao's wounds stopped. Seeing this, Tang Yuehua's eyes lit up. She quickly ordered her men to carry Tang Xiao back to Clear Sky Fortress and bring all healing-type Spirit Masters with them to treat him.
Meanwhile, Ning Tianyu and Chen Xue provided their boosts again, this time for the second, third, and seventh elders, enhancing their combat power. At that moment, the second elder fought Ghost Leopard Douluo, the third elder fought Snake Lance Douluo, and the seventh elder fought Spirit Harpy Douluo. Dai Pojun and his wife held off Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo.
As for Demon Bear Douluo, after taking a direct hit from Tang Xiao's "Kill" command, he was severely injured and temporarily out of the fight. This left Spirit Hall with only one remaining Titled Douluo: Bloodthorn.
Spirit Harpy Douluo said, "Elder Bloodthorn, my spirit abilities are useless against that brat. I'll leave him to you. Remember, you must eliminate him, or he will be a great threat in the future!"
"Very well!"
