What We Did

Outside Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the Golden Sacred Dragon let out a thunderous Dragon's Roar in the sky. It spewed a breath of golden dragonfire laced with lightning, its power incomparably fierce.

The three Council Members joined forces against the Golden Sacred Dragon. All of them were powerful Spirit Douluo, and together, they were evenly matched with the Titled Douluo-level Golden Sacred Dragon.

This was the scene Mu Yuan saw when he emerged.

Without another word, a seventy-meter wooden giant rose from the ground. With a Great Tree Spear, he directly nailed the Golden Sacred Dragon, which had been roaring in the air, to the ground.

Flender, Liu Erlong, and Yu Xiaogang all spat out blood.

"What is that?"

Yu Xiaogang said tremblingly.

The wooden giant was simply too enormous, and with Mu Yuan standing atop its head, Yu Xiaogang could not make him out clearly at first.

In contrast, Flender, as a Spirit Sage, could clearly see Mu Yuan standing on the wooden giant's head, as well as the blood-red sixth spirit ring on his body.

He said in shock, "It's Mu Yuan. He actually broke through to Spirit Emperor and even absorbed a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring. How is that possible?!"

Grandmaster said in disbelief, "That's impossible!"

Why could Mu Yuan break through to the Level 60 Spirit Emperor realm at such a young age and even absorb a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring, while he had struggled for decades yet could not break through the bottleneck of Level 30 Spirit Elder?

This was unfair!

However, before Grandmaster could complain for long, Mu Yuan controlled the wooden giant to walk over. Like grabbing a loach, it seized the Golden Sacred Dragon, which was pinned to the ground and struggling constantly, then calmly clenched its hand.

The Golden Sacred Dragon's body, formed from golden Soul Power, was instantly crushed beneath the wooden giant's absolute strength. After a long, mournful cry, flecks of golden light scattered through the air.

Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and Liu Erlong all suffered the most severe backlash. Blood flowed from their mouths and noses, while Yu Xiaogang, the weakest among them, fainted on the spot.

"Xiaogang!"

"Teacher!"

Liu Erlong and Tang San supported the unconscious Yu Xiaogang from either side.

Liu Erlong turned and glared angrily at Mu Yuan, wanting to rush forward and avenge Yu Xiaogang. But she had suffered an extremely severe backlash and could not even summon her martial soul again. After taking only two steps forward, the rage in her heart overwhelmed her. She spat out blood and collapsed on the spot.

Flender was also too weak to move.

Seeing that the three had been dealt with, Mu Yuan dismissed the wooden giant and descended from the air.

Meng Shenji and the others hurriedly went up to meet him.

When Mu Yuan had suddenly appeared just now, the three of them had been startled. Only after taking a closer look and realizing it was Mu Yuan did they relax.

"Uncle Meng, what happened?" Mu Yuan asked.

Meng Shenji briefly explained why Grandmaster and the others had come.

At that moment, Xiao Wu ran out from behind them. "Mu Yuan, what happened?"

Hearing Xiao Wu's voice, Tang San hurriedly looked up.

He saw Xiao Wu running out with her long hair loose, her clothes somewhat disheveled, an unusual flush staining her fair little face.

Tang San immediately had a bad feeling. He hurriedly asked, "Mu Yuan, what did you do to Xiao Wu?"

Mu Yuan said calmly, "I only slept beside her. We did nothing."

Tang San could not help taking two steps back.

Looking at Xiao Wu's disheveled clothes and thinking that Xiao Wu had already... his eyes nearly split with rage!

"Beast! Beast! You have chosen death! I'll kill you!"

At that moment, Tang San completely lost his reason.

With a casual toss, he threw the unconscious Grandmaster onto the ground, then charged at Mu Yuan almost crazily.

Mu Yuan frowned slightly and was about to make a move when Xiao Wu stepped in front of him.

Xiao Wu rebuked Tang San, "Third Brother, you are not allowed to hurt Mu Yuan. I was the one who pursued him."

Tang San froze in place.

Xiao Wu's words were like a heavy hammer smashing into his chest. The pain they caused was even worse than taking a punch from Mu Yuan's wooden giant head-on.

"No, that's impossible. It isn't true. Xiao Wu, you're lying to me, right?!"

But Xiao Wu directly wrapped her arms around Mu Yuan intimately. "Third Brother, I like Mu Yuan."

Seeing this, Tang San collapsed onto the ground, as though he had lost himself to the entire world.

Xiao Wu said, "Third Brother, you are being so immature. Mu Yuan is a very good person. Why can't you get along with him properly? Since I like him, you should respect him even more. You should apologize to Mu Yuan!"

"Xiao Wu, you..." Tang San felt as if something were lodged in his chest, leaving him unable to speak. With a "Pfft," he spat out blood like Grandmaster and the others, then fell onto his back.

Tang San's eyes were now filled with despair, utterly devoid of light.

Suddenly, the air grew viscous.

Mu Yuan's expression changed. Without another word, he shielded Xiao Wu behind him. Bringing his hands together, he summoned both the wooden giant and the Wood Dragon from the ground.

A massive hammer tore through the air toward them. Mu Yuan hurriedly controlled the wooden giant to raise its arm and block.

But in midair, a flying sword shot forth. With a clang, it struck the massive hammer, canceling out its force.

A man in a black robe strode through the air, nine spirit rings circling around him. The red spirit ring at the top was especially eye-catching.

At his side, Sword Douluo descended on his sword, his imposing presence directly opposing that of the black-robed man.

Mu Yuan knew that the black-robed man was Tang Hao.

Hidden beneath his black robe, Tang Hao said in a hoarse voice, "Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you have crossed the line! I found this soul beast first. By the rules, it should belong to me."

No one else present understood what Tang Hao meant.

Only Xiao Wu beside Mu Yuan instantly went pale.

Without hesitation, Mu Yuan pulled Xiao Wu into his arms and said firmly, "I won't let him hurt you!"

Sword Douluo had no patience for Tang Hao's claim and sneered:

"You coward who hides his face, what right do you have to say that? Since you found it long ago, why didn't you act sooner? Heh, and how exactly did you obtain your Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring?"

Hearing Sword Douluo's words, Tang Hao instantly flew into a rage.

"Chen Xin, you're talking bullshit!"

The Clear Sky Hammer instantly expanded severalfold and swept toward him.

Sword Douluo refused to yield. The Seven Kill Sword radiated murderous intent as it met the Clear Sky Hammer head-on.

Tang Hao's old injuries had not yet been healed by Tang San, so his strength was not a match for Sword Douluo's.

And Mu Yuan did not let Sword Douluo fight alone.

The wooden giant stepped forward and fired several Great Tree Spears with a raised hand.

Tang Hao roared, "Junior, you are courting death!"

The massive Clear Sky Hammer came smashing over, whirling so densely that not a drop of water could pass through. It shattered every Great Tree Spear one by one.

The wooden giant stepped forward and threw a punch at the Clear Sky Hammer.

Tang Hao could not help retreating two steps in midair, his eyes filled with shock.

"Such tremendous strength. Your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect truly picked up a treasure!"

Sword Douluo said nothing. His spirit rings lit up as Myriad Swords Return to Origin shot straight toward Tang Hao, sealing off every path of escape.

Seeing this, Tang Hao directly used his Martial Soul Avatar.

Soul Power erupted, and a massive crimson phantom formed from Soul Power rose up: the Clear Sky True Body!

Sword Douluo's expression did not change. A phantom of Soul Power carrying blue Sword Intent likewise rose behind him: the Seven Kill True Body!

The giant sword and giant hammer collided in the air, and the immense shockwaves of Soul Power cracked the surrounding buildings layer by layer.

The Council Members of Heaven Dou Royal Academy had no choice but to join forces and raise a Soul Power barrier to protect the academy's buildings.

Meanwhile, Grandmaster and the others on the ground were squeezed by the Soul Power until blood seeped from all over their bodies.

The teachers of Blue Tyrant Academy dragged Grandmaster and the others away from the area in groups of two and three.
