"Who knows whether your Spirit Hall is a bunch of liars? That old man's words just pissed me off. If you want to fight now, then come at me!"
Shi Hao snapped impatiently, and the atmosphere instantly turned tense.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged glances. After nodding, they said helplessly:
"Then we can only offend you!"
"We'll take you back to Spirit Hall and let the Pope deal with you!!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo threw a chrysanthemum-shaped weapon from the front toward Shi Hao. He followed close behind, while Ghost Douluo launched a surprise attack from Shi Hao's rear.
It would indeed be humiliating if word got out that two Titled Douluo were ganging up on a child, but there was no other choice now. If Shi Hao kept fighting... Spirit Hall would lose all its face.
So Bibi Dong chose this compromise. As long as they defeated Shi Hao, everything would be easy to settle.
"Two Titled Douluo against an eight-ring Soul Douluo... there shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo thought to themselves.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo truly lived up to their titles. The power and speed behind their attacks were utterly incomparable to Elder Bai's. In an instant, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Shi Hao were already locked in battle, and he did not seem to be at a disadvantage in the slightest.
The spectators watched the scene and could not help cursing:
"Spirit Hall actually dispatched two Titled Douluo. Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo."
"Isn't it too much for two Titled Douluo to deal with one child?"
"Isn't this just bullying the weak? He only wanted to find his Mother... What is Spirit Hall thinking? Why are they trying to stop him like this?"
"Spirit Hall has gone too far!!!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression was somewhat ugly, but he said nothing. The moment he made a move, he felt immense pressure. This child's strength was simply astonishing. No wonder Elder Bai had lost so quickly!
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged another look, then both nodded slightly.
"Third Soul Skill!"
"Fifth Soul Skill!"
In an instant, Martial Soul light flickered. Chrysanthemum Douluo's attacks became even sharper, while Ghost Douluo unleashed a more powerful skill.
"Good, good, good... Now this is interesting!!"
Shi Hao laughed. He had an innate instinct for battle; it was simply that no one else had been able to pressure him. The old man from before had given him some pressure, but only a little.
Now, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were giving him real pressure!!!
"Come fight!!!"
Shi Hao stomped one foot down. His four black and four red Spirit Rings shone brilliantly, and the first two pitch-black Spirit Rings lit up at once!
Strength, speed!
Those were the effects of his first two Soul Skills.
The inscriptions on the Supreme Bone behind Shi Hao flashed violently. Countless mysterious runes flickered, as though they were about to come alive.
"Th-This..." Everyone stared at Shi Hao in shock. None of them had expected him to possess such terrifying strength and ability.
At that moment, Shi Hao seemed to transform into an invincible war god. His aura rose steadily, making everyone feel enormous pressure.
"This strength... Not good!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo inwardly cried out in alarm. They wanted to retreat, but it was already too late!
In an instant, Shi Hao grabbed the arms that Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had attacked with, one in front of him and one behind him.
Shi Hao spun them by their arms in a full circle, then suddenly let go. The two flew off in different directions, crashing through a large stretch of houses before struggling to their feet.
"Hiss... How did this guy's strength and speed surge again?!"
"This is definitely not the level of a Soul Douluo."
The two were shocked. Shi Hao's strength was far greater than they had imagined. They had not expected the Soul Skills they had casually used to test him to be so easily broken by Shi Hao.
They knew that ordinary Soul Skills would probably have little effect on Shi Hao now. The two could only use their Martial Soul Avatars.
"Old Ghost, we need to get serious. Otherwise, we'll really capsize in a gutter."
"I know... This brat really isn't simple. Let's end this quickly!!!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's Martial Soul Avatar was the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. It took the form of an enormous chrysanthemum, but it was a magnificent and bewitching purple. Its petals were all velvety, with no fragrance escaping from them. The central stamen rose more than half a foot above the petals, its tip gleaming with a faint golden radiance.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum could enhance his attack and defense, while possibly granting him some special abilities as well.
Ghost Douluo's Martial Soul Avatar fused with the Black Prison Ghost Armor. It took the form of a gigantic black ghostly shadow, appearing exceptionally strange and mysterious. Its savage face and sharp claws radiated a terrifying aura.
The Black Prison Ghost Armor granted stronger concealment and extraordinary attack and speed, while also possessing certain special abilities, such as controlling ghosts and releasing dark energy.
Under the attacks of their Martial Soul Avatars, Shi Hao finally began to take things a little seriously. His third pitch-black Spirit Ring lit up.
Defense!
Once the Soul Skill activated, Shi Hao's body seemed to be covered in a golden layer, appearing indestructible.
The attacks of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo could not cause any substantial damage to Shi Hao at all. However, they were still Titled Douluo-level powerhouses, so their attacks were not completely ineffective.
"Hiss... That hurts a little, you two bad guys."
Shi Hao cried out pitifully, then activated his fourth Soul Skill as well.
Recovery!
He was no longer afraid of these injuries. He charged straight at the two of them in counterattack!
Bang! Bang!
Each punch shook the very air, and all of Spirit City could sense the commotion here!
"Even their Martial Soul Avatars can't deal with this child?"
"Th-This... What is going on? What exactly is his Martial Soul?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were going mad.
They barely held on under Shi Hao's repeated and even simultaneous attacks. Then, the inscriptions on Shi Hao's back glowed brighter and brighter, resisting the powerful attacks from the Martial Soul Avatars of the two Titled Douluo.
Shi Hao's defensive ability and strength had increased by far more than a little. They had become eight times stronger than before! His body also gradually grew larger as his Spirit Rings lit up, until he resembled a small mountain, standing there and blocking the attacks.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, whose Soul Power was being consumed more and more rapidly, looked at the motionless "small mountain" and could not help frowning. Continuing to wear him down like this was not a solution.
Seeing that they could not withstand this immensely powerful child, the two exchanged a look and then unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Two Extremes Stillness Domain.
Chrysanthemum Douluo: "Old Ghost!"
Ghost Douluo: "Old Chrysanthemum!"
Two Extremes Stillness Domain!
In their Martial Soul Avatar states, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo each released their nine Spirit Rings, then overlapped them together to form a powerful white spherical area. The sphere continued expanding.
Everything within its range became unable to move. Within this domain, enemies could not use any skills or move, and could only passively endure attacks.
