Tang San, who was in the audience, furrowed his brows slightly upon seeing this white spirit ring, seemingly noticing a hint of something unusual.
Because he felt a different kind of aura from this spirit ring.
S-San, Third Brother, this spirit ring is so weird. Why do I feel like it's a bit different?
Xiao Wu was also attracted by this spirit ring, and she could faintly feel a trace of oppression emanating from it.
Yet she couldn't figure out the reason why.
Logically speaking, a mere ten-year spirit ring shouldn't give off such a strange feeling.
"Xiao Wu, watch closely. Today's challenge might be a bit unexpected," Tang San said with a tight frown.
"Mm!"
Xiao Wu nodded submissively, staring intently at the white spirit ring as if she wanted to find the cause.
Damn, what's going on? H-How is Sun Sheng's spirit power level nineteen?
Suddenly, an exclamation came from the crowd.
Holy shit! Is Sun Sheng about to defy the heavens?
"Nineteen? Wasn't he only level fifteen a few days ago? Could it be one level a day?"
"Good grief, what did I just witness today?"
"No wonder this guy dared to challenge them at the graduation ceremony; this is way too freakish."
The students began to discuss among themselves, in utter shock.
Quite a few people present had a good understanding of Sun Sheng's aptitude.
Even Tang San and Xiao Wu, who had been obsessing over Sun Sheng's first spirit ring just moments ago, stood there dumbfounded, gazing over.
They found it hard to believe the astonishing scene before their eyes.
Especially Liu Long, whose expression had already grown solemn at this moment.
When it came to understanding Sun Sheng, there was no one in this world who understood him better than Liu Long.
Just a few days back, he had still beaten Sun Sheng up violently.
At that time, his spirit power level was only fifteen.
Now, it had unexpectedly skyrocketed to level nineteen.
Such a heaven-defying rate of spirit power increase left him utterly tongue-tied.
No, I must cripple him today to eliminate future trouble.
Huu!
Liu Long took a few deep breaths to calm his shocked emotions, a cold glare surfacing on his face as he said, "Sun Sheng, don't think that a massive surge in spirit power can change the current situation. Today, I'll let you witness the true strength of a two-ring Spirit Grandmaster."
With those words spoken, Liu Long's first white spirit ring lit up, and he hoisted his Golden Rod to smash forward.
"Get lost!"
Sun Sheng roared fiercely, lighting up his Million-Year Spirit Ring, releasing the Hundredfold Amplification spirit skill, and swinging his staff with a single sweep.
Bang!
The two staves collided, bursting forth with a violent wave of air.
Sun Sheng, having received the Hundredfold Amplification, experienced earth-shaking changes in an instant across his spirit power level, his physical body, and his sheer force.
He stubbornly blasted Liu Long flying with a single staff strike, sending him tumbling off the stage and crashing to the ground, unable to get back up.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for defeating Liu Long and completing the quest. Reward: twenty-two points of Leveling Value, twenty-two points of Exchange Value.
At this very moment, Sun Sheng received the system's reward.
As for the entire audience, it fell into a dead silence!
Everyone stood dumbfounded, gazing at the astonishing scene unfolding before them.
H-How could this be!
Liu Long had actually been sent flying by a single sweep of Sun Sheng's staff.
No, it should be called a one-hit kill.
Because at this moment, Liu Long's arm bones were shattered to the root, and he suffered severe trauma, having completely passed out cold.
Doubt!
Shock!
Terror!
The immense strength Sun Sheng displayed at this moment had already struck fear into the hearts of the vast majority of students who had supported Liu Long just moments before.
Meanwhile, the mentors watching the commotion on the scene were also utterly shocked.
A nineteen-level one-ring spirit master actually defeated a twenty-second-level two-ring spirit grandmaster in a single move.
This had never happened before in Douluo's history.
After all, the gap in spirit power and spirit ring levels was simply too difficult to cross.
It was practically an insurmountable high mountain.
Yet today, Sun Sheng, who had always been looked down upon, actually created a miracle.
How could everyone not be shocked, surprised, and panicked by this?
"Cheating!"
"Sun Sheng is cheating!"
"Sun Sheng must be cheating."
"How could he possibly fight across ranks and defeat Senior Liu Long in a single move?"
At some unknown moment, an unwilling voice of doubt rang out from the silent crowd.
"That's right, Sun Sheng is cheating. My Senior Liu Long couldn't possibly lose."
"Correct, Sun Sheng must have used a sneaky trick just now."
With one person taking the lead, others also began to voice their doubts.
Among them, Boss Xiao, who was watching the graduation ceremony in the identity of an alumnus, shouted the most fiercely.
Oh, it's Boss Xiao. How did he get here?
Xiao Wu had the sharpest hearing, picking out Boss Xiao from among the numerous skeptical voices.
"Boss Xiao and Liu Long have always had a pretty good relationship. He must be here to watch his graduation ceremony, right?"
Tang San looked toward Boss Xiao, his expression somewhat peculiar.
Actually, he could guess a little bit; it was likely to recruit Liu Long to work for him.
"Cheating?"
"Since the fellow students present think I'm cheating, then come up and match wits and skills with Sun."
Sun Sheng smiled coldly, an invisible sense of pressure releasing from his body.
Weren't you guys unconvinced and suspecting I was cheating?
Then come up and challenge me.
See if I don't defeat you one by one.
As soon as Sun Sheng's words fell, the entire audience fell back into silence.
The students who had been questioning just a moment ago saw their expressions sink, keeping their heads down and remaining silent as timidity took root in their hearts.
Step onto the stage to challenge him?
How could that be possible!
They had all witnessed Liu Long's fate just a moment ago.
What if Sun Sheng genuinely possessed powerful methods? What then?
Going up there would just be asking to be abused!
They didn't dare.
"I refuse to believe this. I'm coming!"
Just as everyone was intimidated by Sun Sheng's momentum and dared not utter a squeak of doubt, Boss Xiao couldn't sit still any longer.
He let out a direct roar, leaped forward, and arrived on the stage.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for activating the side quest: Defeat Boss Xiao.
Right at this moment, the quest issued by the system echoed in Sun Sheng's mind.
Boss Xiao!
Among the numerous students, quite a few recognized Boss Xiao.
These students were basically those who had just graduated.
They had once followed Boss Xiao and "wreaked havoc" in Notting City Junior Academy.
"I thought who it was; turns out it's Boss Xiao."
"What, can't bear to watch and want to come avenge Liu Long?"
Sun Sheng looked at the person who had stepped onto the stage, sneering with derision.
Liu Long and Boss Xiao were cut from the same cloth, acting as jackals from the same lair.
"Sun Sheng, don't be so arrogant. Watch how I deal with you!"
Boss Xiao looked at him cautiously, spirit power churning all over his body as he released his ferocious and fierce Ferocious Wolf Spirit Soul.
Two spirit rings, one white and one yellow, gradually materialized.
"Hehe, a twenty-sixth-level spirit grandmaster. Boss Xiao, your cultivation is truly trash."
Sun Sheng felt his spirit power level and laughed arrogantly.
Six years ago, Boss Xiao was already an eleventh-level spirit master.
Six years later, he had unexpectedly only raised his spirit power by fifteen levels.
Such aptitude was indeed utter trash.
"Bastard, you're looking for death!"
Hearing this, Boss Xiao flew into a rage, the two spirit rings of white and yellow lighting up simultaneously.
His body suddenly grew a bit larger, darting rapidly around Sun Sheng as if trying to find an opportunity for a sneak attack.
Hehe!
Sun Sheng smiled with disdain, exerting a slight force with his right hand gripping his spirit soul, causing his pitch-black Iron Staff spirit soul to undergo a mutation.
He watched as the pitch-black iron skin rapidly shed off, revealing dense patterns and dragon-phoenix seal scripts, with a section of golden hoops emerging on both ends.
If anyone looked closely, right next to the hoops was a line of tiny, finely engraved characters.
