Xu Sanshi underwent a drastic change. His entire aura transformed. The Black Tortoise Shield before him became even larger, and even Xu Sanshi's body grew taller and broader.
At this moment, the dark green airflow around Xu Sanshi formed an illusion. Around the black tortoise was also a black snake. Turtle and snake as one body. It was none other than the Divine Beast, the Black Tortoise.
In the spectator stands, Xiao Hongchen was stunned. Then his gaze became fanatical. "Xu Sanshi was hiding this move too? Divine Beast bloodline! I must find him and have a proper fight!"
Meng Hongchen gently held her forehead. Her idiot brother had now become a battle maniac.
...
On the competition stage.
Xu Sanshi's expression was fervent. "It finally came. Come on!"
Boom!
Long Aotian's attack descended, and his powerful strike in his non-Martial Soul True Body state smashed into Xu Sanshi's Black Tortoise Shield.
Crack!
The entire competition stage fractured.
Zheng Zhan watched this collision and muttered to himself, "As expected of the top geniuses of the three Douluo empires. At the same level, I wouldn't even have the qualifications to fight them."
The smoke dispersed.
Xu Sanshi could be seen kneeling on one knee, but he had still blocked Long Aotian's attack.
"Impressive! What powerful defense! I must defeat you! Seventh Spirit Ability…"
Xu Sanshi suddenly shouted, "Referee, I admit defeat!"
"Ah?"
Zheng Zhan was stunned as well. They had already fought to this point, and he still wanted to keep watching. Why did he admit defeat? His state had already risen, how could he admit defeat now?
Long Aotian was somewhat confused. Xu Sanshi was clearly very powerful. His Martial Soul had evolved into the Black Tortoise, giving him the qualifications to compete with him, yet he had taken the initiative to surrender! Why?
Xu Sanshi moved his body. "My wife told me to return safely. I have to listen properly. In any case, I gained a lot from this match, so I'll be going down."
Long Aotian's expression became somewhat constipated. He had only just become interested. Why were the people of Tang Sect like this?
Xu Sanshi jumped off the competition stage and returned to Tang Sect's resting area. He looked gently toward Jiang Nannan. "Nannan, I returned safely."
Jiang Nannan hugged Xu Sanshi. "Next time, you're not allowed to play things so close to the limit."
Jiang Nannan's embrace instantly made Xu Sanshi feel as though he was flying from happiness. What was going on with him today? Had the goddess of luck taken notice of him?
Su Yunlin moved his body. "My turn."
Su Yunlin walked onto the competition stage. Long Aotian, who had originally been somewhat disappointed, became excited again when he saw Su Yunlin arrive.
He knew that Tang Sect's strongest member was Su Yunlin. He had long heard of Su Yunlin's reputation. Back when Su Yunlin caused chaos in Heaven Dou City and defeated the young geniuses there, Long Aotian had also been present.
However, at that time, Long Aotian was still bitterly cultivating Body Sect's secret methods. He had only just obtained his first Spirit Ring and did not have the qualifications to fight Su Yunlin.
Body Martial Souls were like this. Generally speaking, the innate Spirit Power of Body Martial Souls was usually quite low. Levels 3 or 4 were normal.
Body Martial Souls were not strong at the beginning, only slightly better than useless Martial Souls. But after the first Body Sect Master unearthed the potential of Body Martial Souls, their strength finally revealed itself.
Every evolution of a Body Martial Soul was a qualitative change. Not only did the Martial Soul's strength improve, even the user's cultivation aptitude evolved.
Body Martial Souls could evolve. This was the powerful aspect of Body Martial Souls. For example, Long Aotian had completed a silver-level awakening. As long as nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to cultivate into a Super Douluo in the future. If he could complete a gold-level awakening at the Titled Douluo stage, then even Limit Douluo would be possible for him.
"Tang Sect, Su Yunlin."
After Su Yunlin introduced himself, Zheng Zhan immediately became fully alert. He could sense that this Su Yunlin was extremely powerful. His strength was unfathomable, and Zheng Zhan did not know what level of expert he truly was.
"Su Yunlin, I have long heard of you."
Long Aotian treated Su Yunlin very seriously.
Su Yunlin smiled faintly. "Let's decide victory in one move. You've already consumed quite a lot of Spirit Power, so I won't bully you. One move decides the outcome. That'll be more convenient."
Long Aotian fell silent for a moment before suddenly understanding. "Good. This isn't the right time. Next time, I'll compete with you properly."
"You're welcome anytime." Su Yunlin smiled faintly, then took his stance.
Long Aotian also assumed his stance. Immediately afterward, his skin turned jade-colored, his height increased to 10 meters, and his physical abilities rose greatly.
"Seventh Spirit Ability, Martial Soul True Body!"
This was Long Aotian's Martial Soul True Body. His entire aura became stronger, but this was not the end.
"First Spirit Ability, Demonic Ape Transformation! Third Spirit Ability, Darkgolden Power! Fifth Spirit Ability, Heaven and Earth Transformation! Unity Between Man and Heaven!"
Long Aotian used three major amplification Spirit Abilities along with Body Sect's secret technique, Unity Between Man and Heaven. This was Long Aotian's strongest state. Four major amplification Spirit Abilities plus the battle technique Unity Between Man and Heaven. In this state, even if he faced a Spirit Douluo, Long Aotian would not be afraid!
"Come!"
Su Yunlin's entire aura changed. In an instant, a tyrannical intent of Sovereign's Descent surged out. This domineering intent even startled Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan. In the next moment, this tyrannical intent rapidly contracted, gathering around Su Yunlin's body.
Pitch-black flames of aura suddenly condensed around Su Yunlin's right arm. Even the space around Su Yunlin's right fist distorted along with it. That was not all. Pitch-black lightning coiled around Su Yunlin's right fist, as though it could annihilate everything.
Both of them had reached the peak of their states.
"Sixth Spirit Ability, Yama God Claw!"
Long Aotian's right arm suddenly enlarged, and the front end transformed into dark golden claws. Five claw marks that seemed almost solid tore outward, erupting with terrifying tearing force!
Tang Sect resting area.
Xiao Xiao watched the move Long Aotian unleashed. "Is that Darkgolden Terrorclaw? Long Aotian's Spirit Ability should have come from the Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear!"
Xiao Xiao possessed the external Spirit Bone of the Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear, so she was especially sensitive in this aspect. Unfortunately, Long Aotian's move was only a Spirit Ability. He had not obtained the Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear's external Spirit Bone. Otherwise, his combat power would be even stronger.
At this moment, Su Yunlin threw his punch, colliding with Long Aotian's claw.
Boom!
The intense collision instantly shattered the competition stage. Such a scene even startled Zheng Zhan, a Titled Douluo. He hurriedly maintained the competition stage.
Boom!
Suddenly, a figure flew out like a cannonball. It was Long Aotian.
In the next moment, Su Yunlin appeared beside Long Aotian and caught him.
"Announce it." Su Yunlin looked toward Zheng Zhan.
Zheng Zhan was greatly shocked, but he still forced himself to remain composed and announced the result. "Tang Sect wins. Snow Demon Sect, send up your next member."
"Referee, Snow Demon Sect admits defeat in this match. We also forfeit the team battle," Wei Na immediately informed Zheng Zhan.
Zheng Zhan froze. After confirming it several times, he announced the result. Tang Sect had won this match.
Su Yunlin sent Long Aotian back to Snow Demon Sect's side.
Long Aotian looked somewhat disheveled at this moment, but his consciousness was exceptionally clear. "Impressive. You fused your tyrannical will to press forward without retreat into your attack, and also merged Spirit Power, Spiritual Power, and other things. There seemed to be a darkness attribute too.
"I gained a great deal. I look forward to competing with you next time."
Su Yunlin smiled faintly. "There will be plenty of chances in the future. Just don't die!"
After saying this, Su Yunlin left. Long Aotian was also an extremely powerful person. As an opponent, he was indeed quite good.
On the way back to Tang Sect's resting area, Su Yunlin suddenly thought of something.
"I already know most of the geniuses on the continent now. They basically all have the potential to become Titled Douluo. Adding in the Shrek Seven Monsters, inner courtyard experts, Tang Sect experts, the Hongchen siblings, and this Long Aotian, should I establish a War God Hall?
"I'll be the Master of the War God Hall, Wutong will be Vice Master, then I'll recruit them to become the eighteen War Gods of the War God Hall. Every one of the eighteen War Gods must be a Titled Douluo!"
