Zhao Wuji, Tang San, and the others were utterly stunned when they saw Sun Sheng's second Spirit Ring!
In their subconscious minds, a second Spirit Ring could not possibly be a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.
It defied common sense.
Yet Sun Sheng had done it. He had created a miracle.
No wonder his Soul Power had risen so quickly, and his combat strength was so formidable and astonishing.
So that was the real reason.
To absorb a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring at the second ring stage—just how terrifying was his physique?
"Xiao Sheng, be careful!"
When Tuo Bayue heard Sun Sheng's domineering command, she suddenly felt that he was incredibly manly, overflowing with masculine charm.
Blushing slightly, she took a few steps back and chose to trust in his strength.
As expected, her Xiao Sheng was still the manliest.
Ding! Progress for the mission to win over Tuo Bayue: 85%.
The sudden update in Sun Sheng's mind caught him somewhat off guard.
"What's wrong, Tang San? Did I beat you so badly that you're too scared to make a move?"
"Xiao Wu, you saw it too. Your Third Brother has already chickened out."
"Why not come with me instead? Big Brother Xiao Sheng is plenty fierce."
Seeing that Tang San and Xiao Wu had yet to act, Sun Sheng sneered coldly, a teasing look appearing on his face as he flirted with Xiao Wu.
"You..."
Xiao Wu flew into a rage at his provocative words.
"And you two little beauties, come over here too. They're too weak and not worth wasting your youth on. You'd be better off with me."
Sun Sheng then looked toward Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, making his most "sincere" invitation.
His arrogant and lecherous tone infuriated the Shrek Seven Devils. Even Zhao Wuji was burning with rage.
If not for the consideration of his status as an elder, he would have stepped in long ago to teach this arrogant lecher a lesson.
"Sun Sheng, you've gone too far!"
No matter how good Tang San's temper was, he could not endure Sun Sheng's provocative remarks any longer.
You could provoke me. I could endure that.
But you could not flirt with my Xiao Wu.
"Xiao San, let's go. Smash his mouth in."
When Dai Mubai saw Sun Sheng turn his gaze toward Zhu Zhuqing again, his fury soared to the heavens.
No matter how strong you are, I'll fight you to the death.
If a man could not even protect his own woman, then he was unworthy of being called a man.
"Attack!"
The Shrek Seven Devils were completely enraged. They all struck at once, each displaying their abilities.
"First Soul Skill, Bind!"
Tang San struck first. Thick vines suddenly emerged beneath Sun Sheng's feet, wrapping around his legs and temporarily restricting his movement.
"White Tiger Light Wave!"
"Phoenix Fire Line!"
"Nether Hundred Claws!"
"Waist Bow!"
As Tang San unleashed his First Soul Skill, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu coordinated perfectly, attacking Sun Sheng from all directions.
Even if Sun Sheng broke free from the vines immediately, they could still block every route of escape.
"Seven treasures turn forth from glazed tile. Seven treasures have names: first, strength; second, speed."
Just as Dai Mubai and the other three closed in on Sun Sheng, Ning Rongrong suddenly acted, simultaneously casting her First and Second Soul Skills on all four of them.
Their speed and strength were boosted to the limit.
Empowered by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the four unleashed their Soul Skills almost immediately.
"You think that's enough to defeat me? You're underestimating me."
Sun Sheng took a deep breath and instantly broke free of the vines. His Million-Year Spirit Ring flashed repeatedly as he swung the Ruyi Jingu Bang in a sweeping arc.
A powerful gust from the staff sprang up along its path, howling and violent.
It gradually condensed into an invisible gale-like protective aura around him, containing incomparably powerful might.
When Dai Mubai and the other three sensed the force rolling off the staff, their expressions changed drastically. They all retreated, not daring to confront it head-on.
If they were struck by that staff, they would likely be seriously injured on the spot.
"Thousand-Jin Strike!"
After forcing back the four of them, Sun Sheng leaped into the air. With astonishing agility, he raised his staff and smashed it toward Dai Mubai, the strongest fighter among them.
Dai Mubai's expression changed. He hurriedly unleashed White Tiger Vajra Transformation and White Tiger Barrier, boosting himself to the limit as he tried to evade.
But he suddenly discovered that he could not move. An invisible and powerful force had bound him.
This made him panic somewhat, unable to understand what had happened.
"Oh no!"
Seeing that Dai Mubai was unable to move, Tang San instantly understood what was going on.
Holding the Clear Sky Hammer, he used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and appeared before Dai Mubai in an instant.
He circulated the Mystic Heaven Skill with all his strength, unleashed Mystic Jade Hand, gripped the hammer with both hands, and struck forward.
He knew very well how powerful Sun Sheng's staff strike was. With the amplification of a Thousand-Year Soul Skill, its power had risen to the extreme.
With Dai Mubai's current strength, there was no way he could withstand it.
If it landed on him, both his arms would be shattered on the spot.
For Dai Mubai's sake, Tang San could only take the blow head-on.
Bang!
The Ruyi Jingu Bang slammed into the Clear Sky Hammer, erupting with terrifying force and blasting Tang San away along with his hammer. Threads of blood spilled from his mouth.
"Third Brother!"
"Xiao San!"
Seeing this, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, and the others cried out.
Dai Mubai in particular had bloodshot eyes. Soul Power surged wildly through his body as he completely descended into madness.
But just as Tang San crashed into a huge tree nearby, Zhao Wuji suddenly stepped in. He caught him easily and helped him disperse the terrifying force of the staff.
Only then did Tang San avoid suffering overly severe injuries.
Otherwise, Sun Sheng's previous strike would have been enough to seriously injure him.
Of course, Sun Sheng had held back just now and had not struck ruthlessly.
Moreover, he had never intended to bring the staff down on Dai Mubai himself. He had merely wanted to strike the ground beside him and use the residual force unleashed by the Soul Skill to knock Dai Mubai back and inflict some injuries.
But who could have expected Tang San to throw himself forward and clash with him head-on?
Still, that was fine. This was a good opportunity to let Tang San understand just how vast the gap between them truly was.
Who was the true number one protagonist of Douluo Continent?
"Xiao San, hurry, eat this."
Oscar hurried to Tang San's side and handed him a Recovery Sausage.
The others also retreated one after another, looking at Tang San with great concern.
Xiao Wu especially had tears welling up in her eyes.
"Thank you for your concern, everyone."
After eating the Recovery Sausage, Tang San finally managed to stabilize his internal injuries.
With the aid of the Mystic Heaven Skill, he gradually began to recover.
"Here, Xiao San, eat a few more."
Oscar recited his incantation several times in succession and stuffed a whole bundle of Recovery Sausages into Tang San's hands.
Watching the scene before him, Sun Sheng felt rather envious.
"My Xiao Sheng is still the best! You seven shameless losers are so weak!"
At that moment, Tuo Bayue jogged over, linked her arm through Sun Sheng's, and looked at him with undisguised admiration.
She then stuck out her cute little tongue at Tang San and the others and made a face.
Ding! Progress for the mission to win over Tuo Bayue: 90%. Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission of pummeling the Shrek Seven Devils and Tang San. Reward: Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, 1,000 Leveling Value, 1,000 Exchange Value.
