Sun Sheng curled the corner of his mouth slightly upon seeing this, his expression filled with disdain.
With quick eyes and nimble hands, he casually raised a block, instantly withstanding that kick without moving an inch.
No matter how hard this guard tried, he could not shake him by even a fraction.
"Such powerful strength!"
Feeling the force transmitting from his leg, the guard was secretly shocked.
It felt as though he had kicked a heavily weighted stone statue, hard and massive.
"Big brother, there's no need for this, right? I just want to go inside and join your Spirit Hall. Could it be that your Spirit Hall doesn't want to recruit geniuses anymore?" Sun Sheng smiled faintly.
Although his smile was plain, his face revealed endless disdain.
It made the two guards feel extremely uncomfortable inside.
Especially the guard who had just struck.
"Heh, a genius? Utterly ridiculous! You should go back and suck on milk." The guard sneered.
"You're just two guard dogs in front of Spirit Hall, yet you really think of yourselves as somebody."
"Do you two even deserve to judge Young Master here!"
"Things that judge people by the appearance of their dogs."
Sun Sheng was not a soft persimmon to be kneaded at will, especially since they refused to show any respect.
Sorry, but Young Master had no need to put on airs and show them respect either.
A mere Spirit King dared to act arrogant in front of him, yet he didn't even bother to take a piss and look at his own reflection to see if he was qualified.
Wang Wu's expression changed slightly after hearing Sun Sheng's words.
These words were spoken much too recklessly.
The other party was, after all, a Spirit King of Spirit Hall; offending him wouldn't be good, would it?
"Brat, you're courting death!"
Hearing this, the two guards flew into a rage.
The guard with the more impatient temperament struck again, smashing his fist forward.
This time, he utilized his Soul Power.
"Overestimating your own capabilities!"
Seeing that the other party did not use a soul skill, Sun Sheng was not afraid at all.
Swinging his right arm, he threw a punch, bursting forth with ten times the force of the Goliath.
Bang!
The two fists collided, erupting into a violent wave of air that forced both of them back simultaneously.
Sun Sheng retreated five steps, while the guard retreated three steps.
How is this possible!
The guard himself, along with the other guard, were utterly shocked when they witnessed this scene.
Especially the guard who had thrown the punch; he was completely plunged into shock.
Just now, he had sensed a powerful, forceful strength coming from the opponent's fist.
If not for his abundant Soul Power, that head-on clash just now would have been enough to shatter his entire arm.
"A Spirit King of Spirit Hall is nothing more than this."
Sun Sheng shook his slightly numb fist and sneered.
Just now, he hadn't used a soul skill, nor had he utilized any Soul Power; he had relied solely on the pure strength of his right arm.
He hadn't expected it to erupt with such astonishing might.
As expected of the Goliath Right Arm Spirit Bone upgraded by the Douluo Leveling System, it truly was formidable.
"Good kid, you really do have some tricks."
"You have completely angered me."
The attacking guard snapped back to his senses, shouted angrily, and decisively summoned his martial soul, releasing five soul rings: two yellow and three purple.
Seeing this, Wang Wu decisively blocked in front of Sun Sheng.
He summoned his martial soul, the Exploding Lion, and five soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black—floated and descended.
That deep black soul ring appeared particularly dazzling.
A Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!
When the guard saw Wang Wu's fifth soul ring, his pupils constricted, and he grew wary, hesitating to make a move.
Even though his Soul Power was two ranks higher than the opponent's, he could not make up for the absolute advantage brought by a ten-thousand-year soul ring.
As long as the opponent used a ten-thousand-year soul skill, he would definitely not even have a shred of a chance to fight back.
Even though his own fifth soul ring was a full nine thousand years old, infinitely close to ten thousand years, he could not bridge that gap nor withstand it.
This was the gap between a thousand-year soul skill and a ten-thousand-year soul skill.
"Who is causing a ruckus outside the hall?"
At that very moment, a man dressed in black robes with a hood over his head, hiding his face and exuding an evil aura, walked out from inside Spirit Hall.
When the two guards saw the newcomer, their entire bodies trembled with terror, and they respectfully bowed and saluted, saying, "Greetings, Elder Ghost!"
Elder Ghost?
Could he be Ghost Douluo?
Upon hearing the guards address this person, Sun Sheng was greatly startled, and he immediately raised a hand to signal Wang Wu to step back.
"What on earth is going on here?"
Ghost Douluo glanced sideways at Sun Sheng and Wang Wu, sternly demanding an explanation.
"R-Reporting to Elder Ghost, this brat is causing trouble outside the hall, and subordinates are currently dealing with it."
One of the guards broke out in a cold sweat all over, replying in terror.
"Oh, causing trouble?"
"Then you can just kill him."
Upon hearing this, Ghost Douluo slowly looked toward Sun Sheng, his entire body surging with Soul Power.
It was clear he intended to strike and kill Sun Sheng.
Seeing this, Sun Sheng's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly spoke up, "Lord Ghost Douluo, we are not here to cause trouble, but rather to join Spirit Hall. It's they who blocked us and refused to let us in."
"Elder Ghost, just now my subordinate already explained the specific procedures for joining our Spirit Hall to him. Not only did he refuse to listen, but he even attempted to forcefully barge into the main hall, which is why we stepped in to stop them."
The guard who had struck twice hurriedly chimed in with an explanation after Sun Sheng finished speaking.
"Heh, ridiculous. Do you even use your brain when you speak?"
"The main hall of Spirit Hall is brimming with experts, and even a number of Titled Douluo are stationed here. Who under the heavens would dare to forcefully barge in here?"
"Could it be that we have nothing better to do, acting foolish and out of our minds, tired of living and seeking death without a brain?"
"If you hadn't spoken with contempt and deliberately made things difficult for us, the incident just now wouldn't have happened."
"If I didn't have a few tricks up my sleeve, I probably would have died at your hands already."
"I ask Lord Ghost Douluo to examine the details with a discerning eye and not easily trust his lies."
Seeing him spew lies, Sun Sheng immediately fired back, his expression devoid of any apprehension or fear.
Such a calm state of mind earned quite a bit of appreciation from Ghost Douluo.
Upon hearing this, the guard's expression altered drastically.
Indeed, on the Douluo Continent, who would dare to cause a ruckus in Spirit City, and who would dare to forcefully barge into the main hall of Spirit Hall?
This was clearly an impossible matter.
"Oh? Some tricks? It seems your talent is quite decent after all."
Although Ghost Douluo was no genius, he wasn't a fool either.
Upon hearing Sun Sheng's words, he could naturally guess the cause of the matter and figure out who was lying.
However, he didn't care about that; what he cared about most right now was the trick Sun Sheng had just mentioned.
To be able to withstand the offensive of a Spirit King at his age was truly no small feat.
If he truly possessed decent talent, he could very well be recruited into Spirit Hall.
"Lord Ghost Douluo, this junior considers my talent to be quite good, which is why I've come specifically to join Spirit Hall. I truly hope you can grant this." Sun Sheng cupped his fists respectfully.
"Oh, is that so?"
"Then let me see just how good your talent really is."
"If you are indeed fine material, I can make an exception and let you join Spirit Hall."
"If your talent fails to satisfy me, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
With those words, Ghost Douluo radiated an icy, chilling aura from his body.
He wanted to see just what kind of talent this brat possessed to have such underlying confidence.
"Please rest assured, Lord Ghost Douluo. If this junior's talent cannot catch your eye, you won't even need to strike, for I shall take my own life."
Upon hearing this, Sun Sheng's eyes flashed with brilliance as he spoke righteously.
"Good, you have backbone. Then show it."
Beholding his confident demeanor, Ghost Douluo praised him with considerable interest.
Perhaps he would stumble upon a rare treasure today.
