Chrysanthemum! Ghost! The Douluos Make Their Move!

On the high platform above Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong watched as Elder Bai, an eight-ring Soul Douluo, was swiftly defeated by Shi Hao.

She gripped her scepter tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force. Her eyes were wide, and her brows were drawn tightly together, as though bearing her endless fury and shock!

"How... is this possible? They're both eight-ring Soul Douluos... so why is the gap between them so vast?"

Bibi Dong murmured.

And how could Shi Hao have shattered the Eighth Spirit Skill of a Silver Spear Martial Soul, renowned for its devastating power, with just one punch?

Even the current Titled Douluos would find that difficult to accomplish. Bibi Dong could not understand it, because Elder Bai's Eighth Spirit Skill, combined with his Seventh Spirit Skill, had just reached the attack power of a Titled Douluo.

Even she would not dare claim she could handle it so easily...

This child's strength was simply far too great!

"Just what is his Martial Soul... I've never seen a Martial Soul that amplifies strength to such an extent."

Bibi Dong's expression grew increasingly grave.

As Elder Bai was defeated by Shi Hao, the heroic tale of a child causing an uproar in Spirit Hall to rescue his mother spread across all of Spirit City almost instantly.

There was no helping it. A child being an eight-ring Soul Douluo was already shocking enough, let alone one who had nearly instantaneously defeated a Soul Douluo from Spirit Hall.

They also wanted to see just how far this child could go, while Shi Hao continued walking toward Spirit Hall.

Inside the Worship Hall...

Qian Daoliu, who had been supervising Qian Renxue's cultivation, frowned when he saw the newcomer rushing in. For Qian Jun Douluo to be so flustered, something major must have happened. He then asked, "Sixth Brother, what has you in such a panic?"

Qian Jun Douluo said anxiously, "Big Brother, this is bad! A child defeated the Hall Guardian and is heading toward Spirit Hall. That child is also an eight-ring Soul Douluo, with four black and four red Spirit Rings!"

Qian Daoliu was startled upon hearing this, but he remained calm on the surface as he asked, "Hm? A child? Sixth Brother, you aren't joking, are you?"

Qian Jun Douluo hurriedly explained, "It's true, Big Brother! I'm not lying! That kid is absurdly strong. He defeated the Hall Guardian with only three punches and even snapped the guardian's Martial Soul in two with his bare hands!"

Qian Daoliu's gaze turned solemn. "Really? Tell me everything in detail..."

After a while, Qian Jun Douluo finally finished recounting the entire incident. Qian Daoliu's face now carried a far more serious and solemn expression.

He also came to sincerely admire Shi Hao, whose strength seemed boundless. "What a genius among geniuses! It has been a long time since the continent heard of such a peerless prodigy!"

"But this will still affect Spirit Hall. I need to take a look." With that, Qian Daoliu leaped into motion and, together with Qian Jun Douluo, arrived atop the Worship Hall. The two flew high into the air and used their Spiritual Power to observe Shi Hao's direction.

Qian Renxue, standing nearby, had also heard of the child's heroic deeds. Yet unlike Qian Daoliu, she did not show a grave expression. She even looked somewhat delighted.

Qian Renxue's maternal instincts surged as she secretly thought, If he were my child, I don't even know how happy I would be.

But Shi Bantian and she were separated by such a great distance, and it had only happened once. How could she possibly be pregnant? Besides, the timing did not match.

Qian Renxue's eyes immediately dimmed, as if that momentary joy had never existed.

Qian Daoliu sent his Spiritual Power outward to probe beyond Spirit Hall. The child in the center of the street was indeed walking step by step toward Spirit Hall, and the powerful aura radiating from him even weakened Qian Daoliu's Spiritual Power somewhat.

Shi Hao, who suddenly sensed someone's gaze from afar, abruptly raised his head. He locked eyes with Qian Daoliu and stared back in that direction with an exceptionally domineering gaze.

Sensing no killing intent in that gaze, Shi Hao merely stared for an instant before withdrawing his eyes.

That single instant was enough to make Qian Daoliu's hair stand on end.

After that brief exchange of gazes, Qian Daoliu discussed it with Qian Jun Douluo beside him. "This child truly is a peerless genius. He can even detect Spiritual Power probing from such a distance, and his gaze is profoundly deep and mysterious. His strength should not be limited to that of a Soul Douluo. He should be one stage higher still."

"Big Brother, his strength goes even higher?" Qian Jun Douluo drew in a sharp breath, his tone filled with utter shock.

Qian Daoliu narrowed his eyes without speaking. This child's strength was indeed formidable. He felt that what Shi Hao had displayed so far was merely the tip of the iceberg.

He had already learned that the child had come to Spirit Hall to rescue his mother. Qian Daoliu had a headache... He believed Spirit Hall truly had abducted this child's so-called mother, or else the other party would have had no reason to make such a huge disturbance.

"How is Spirit Hall supposed to resolve this now...?"

Qian Daoliu muttered to himself. Spirit Hall seemed to have kicked an iron plate this time, and he was somewhat dissatisfied with Bibi Dong... How could she do something like abducting someone's mother?

Wasn't that the behavior of a beast?

On the street!

Shi Hao suddenly stopped as he walked. He frowned and looked ahead.

An exceedingly effeminate and enigmatic man emerged from the left. Both his voice and movements carried a hint of seductiveness, while his heavy smoky makeup made him appear exceptionally bewitching. He wore garments woven from gold and black, displaying nobility and majesty.

From the right emerged a man who sharply contrasted with the one on the left. His right eye glowed red, his hairstyle was striking, and chains draped over his body. He was dressed entirely in black, giving off an air of mystery and coldness.

That was right—these two were Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo!

Bibi Dong had finally acknowledged Shi Hao's strength and no longer underestimated him. Treating him seriously and with respect as an opponent, she ultimately sent out two powerful Titled Douluos, no longer caring about Spirit Hall losing face.

These two Titled Douluos were pillars of Spirit Hall, their strength lying between Rank 94 and Rank 95. Bibi Dong had truly made a grand move.

Given the fate of the Hall Guardian earlier, the two revealed extremely serious expressions as they faced Shi Hao. Lowering their stance, they said:

"Your Excellency, you've caused enough trouble. Spirit Hall will give you an explanation, and we will immediately investigate your mother's matter and give you justice. How does that sound?"

"No. I want to see my mother right now!"

Shi Hao spoke with the same cold expression. After agreeing to fight the Hall Guardian earlier, Shi Hao had already concluded that Spirit Hall was no good.

These people simply had no intention of releasing his mother... So he decided to fight his way in. Once he beat them into submission, he could rescue his mother!

"If you remain this stubborn, we really will make a move!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression turned somewhat ugly!

"Who knows whether Spirit Hall is just lying? That old man's words angered me earlier. If you want to fight now, then come at me!"

Shi Hao replied irritably. The atmosphere instantly became taut with hostility.
