Instantly Defeating the Spirit Transmission Trio, Three-Character Battle Armor vs. Three-Character Battle Armor, Myriad Laws of Nature

Having made thorough preparations in advance, Qian Gu Dongfeng looked as if victory was in hand. The Phoenix family had a long heritage and ranked second only to the Qian Gu lineage within the Spirit Pagoda. The many spirit souls stored in the Ultimate Spirit Ascension Platform were beyond measure in value.

Having Qiangu Zhangting participate in Gu Yue's various research projects was killing two birds with one stone—he could secure both prestige and a granddaughter-in-law. His grandson was handsome and had an excellent temperament. As long as the hoe was swung well enough, how could there be a corner he could not dig up?

Leng Yaozhu glanced at the Pagoda Master, who could barely contain his excitement. Her snow-white, delicate chin lifted slightly, and confidence likewise filled her shifting eyes.

Zhao Xuanzhen had fought countless battles, large and small, throughout his journey. Fighting above his level was already routine. Na'er's words might have been blunt, but they made sense. Twenty levels of soul power were nothing worth mentioning. In Zhao Xuanzhen's eyes, Qiangu Zhangting was nothing more than a man with his head displayed for sale.

"I'm so anxious! I'm really freaking anxious!"

On the Ninety-ninth Floor of the Spirit Pagoda, Na'er paced in circles with anxiety. Ye Xinglan and Yuanen Yehui were also sweating nervously, while Gu Yue alone remained as calm as always. She sat on the sofa with her long legs clad in black stockings crossed, holding a thick volume of ancient texts as she read.

"What's the use of worrying? Sit down and wait obediently for Xuanzhen's good news." Gu Yue casually swept aside her ink-black hair, looking down on the useless silver-haired idiot.

"We can't even watch the battle. I can't see Zhao Xuanzhen's heroic bearing, and I can't see him kick Qiangu Zhangting's greasy face..."

Na'er sat beside Gu Yue with a face full of regret, studying that captivatingly cold and tranquil face. She immediately felt that she was far too unable to keep her composure and ought to learn from Gu Yue's calm way of handling things. But as she watched, Na'er suddenly noticed a flaw. Blinking her silver big eyes, she said, "Gu Yue, I think you're holding the book upside down."

"...Oh."

Gu Yue's fingers suddenly froze. She swiftly turned the book around and silently admitted that she was somewhat unsettled as well. The Qian Gu Family had deep foundations, and Qian Gu Dongfeng was known for his sinister ruthlessness. Who knew whether he might strike in secret?

In the Spirit Pagoda's conference hall, a white Soul Guide Screen slowly descended, displaying the scene within the Virtual Space Battlefield.

The Virtual Space Battlefield's environment was extremely simple, no different from a large soul fighting arena. Yet it incorporated the Spirit Pagoda's most advanced Space Technology, allowing Three-character Battle Armor Masters to fight with their full strength. Spaces such as the Spirit Ascension Platform, by contrast, prohibited soul masters from wearing battle armor.

The disciples taking the Reserve Spirit Emissary examination and Spirit Emissary examination were all one-in-ten-thousand geniuses, so the Spirit Pagoda naturally had to guarantee their safety. The Virtual Space Battlefield meant no one needed to hold back. The cost of death was merely a slight shock to the Sea of Consciousness, which Spirit Abyss Realm spiritual power could resist for the most part.

"Buzz—"

Four figures teleported in, positioned precisely at the four corners of the Virtual Space Battlefield. Zhao Xuanzhen looked toward the three Reserve Spirit Emissary candidates. They were all renowned geniuses of the Spirit Pagoda and were usually very close, collectively known as the Spirit Transmission Trio.

Ao Wuchang of the Summoning Gate, Tuoba Xi of the White Armored Earth Dragon, and Cheng Tie of the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor.

"The Reserve Spirit Emissary examination begins. Defeat all three in succession, and you will pass. Zhao Xuanzhen, you may choose your first opponent." The voice of Heavenly Saint Douluo Xu Shenggun resounded through the sky.

"To save time, all three of you can come at once."

Zhao Xuanzhen knew the Spirit Transmission Trio's strength well. They were merely high-level Soul Sages, and their soul power could not possibly exceed Level Eighty. He would settle all three at once as a warm-up. Qiangu Zhangting was today's main course!

"Brother Zhangting was right. He really is an arrogant fool."

The three quickly formed a triangular formation. Ao Wuchang sneered as he arranged tactics with his two close friends. "Same old rules. You Two face him head-on and buy me time. I'll keep summoning without stop. By then, we'll drown him to death.

"We have received great favor from the acting Pagoda Master. We should help Brother Zhangting deal with one nuisance!"

Tuoba Xi and Cheng Tie nodded vigorously. The Bai sisters were the left and right hands Leng Yaozhu had cultivated for Zhao Xuanzhen, while they were Qiangu Zhangting's most loyal subordinates. In this struggle over the crown prince position, the three were resolute in their stance. They would support their big brother, Qiangu Zhangting, with all their strength!

"Awwoo—"

A hoarse wolf howl sounded the battle's opening horn. Ao Wuchang spread his arms, and the space before him twisted and tore apart. A Summoning Gate flowing with profound black light opened wide, and countless dim green beast eyes lit up behind it.

Agile black giant wolves roared out like a tide. Each possessed combat strength no weaker than a Five-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Their sharp claws scraped across the ground, scattering sparks. The wolf pack lowered their bodies and closed in on Zhao Xuanzhen from all sides in a fan-shaped formation.

While Ao Wuchang summoned the wolf pack, Tuoba Xi and Cheng Tie also completed the processes of equipping their Two-Word Battle Armor and activating their Martial Soul Avatars.

As soon as the White Armored Earth Dragon Avatar emerged, Tuoba Xi's entire body became covered in a layer of white dragon scales. His tough, massive dragon body expanded beyond ten meters long. His dragon roar was vigorous, and the heavy pressure originating from his Dragon Clan bloodline could not be underestimated.

Tuoba Xi's ancestors had belonged to the Holy Dragon Sect, one of the seven great sects twenty thousand years ago. The White Armored Earth Dragon had once been famous throughout the world as well!

Seven soul rings flashed in succession. The White Armored Earth Dragon excelled in close-range slaughter, and nearly all its soul skills were physical enhancement types. Borrowing that berserk power, Tuoba Xi shot forward like a cannonball leaving its barrel, charging ahead of the wolf pack!

Amid a burst of dark golden light, Cheng Tie transformed into the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor, raising his two ferocious forelimbs high.

The Thousand Jun Ant was a symbol of brute strength, and Cheng Tie possessed the greatest strength among the Spirit Transmission Trio. He stomped heavily on the ground, and the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor transformed into a dark golden streak that tore through the air. His sixth soul ring lit up fiercely as he crossed his arms before his chest. Earth Ant Emperor Slash!

The wolf pack encircled him, the white dragon rammed forward, and the ant emperor cleaved through the air. The three coordinated flawlessly, using fierce close combat to buy Ao Wuchang crucial time to charge up and allow the Daimon to summon a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast into battle.

Facing the torrential combined assault, an intangible spiritual will descended with a roar, centered around Zhao Xuanzhen!

Spirit Domain, Only I Am Supreme!

The supreme pressure of Life Origin, the absolute domination of the Spirit Domain!

The White Armored Earth Dragon and Thousand Jun Ant Emperor, charging forward with thunderous momentum, seemed to have been struck by lightning. Their savage roars abruptly stopped. Within a Spirit Domain Realm Spirit Domain, the caster was the sole ruler. Only a Spirit Domain Realm could contend against a Spirit Domain Realm!

The ferocity in their eyes scattered, replaced by boundless shock and confusion. The wolf pack was equally helpless, whimpering as they lay on the ground and trembled. A figure moved faster than sight itself, cutting between the two as though shrinking the earth into inches. Both fists rose from his waist and struck solidly into the chests of the two great Martial Soul Avatars!

Advancing Block and Strike!

"Boom—"

A tremendous explosion rang out. Clear fist imprints appeared in the two Martial Soul Avatars with astonishing Defense Power, while dense cracks spread like spiderwebs. The White Armored Earth Dragon and Thousand Jun Ant Emperor bent like shrimps, lifted from the ground and sent flying back the way they had come.

The two flying figures shot past Ao Wuchang's sides from the left and right, just barely grazing him as he focused completely on chanting his spell!

Seeing his two teammates collapse behind him, a drop of cold sweat trickled down from Ao Wuchang's temple.

It's over. A mage like me has become the front row!

Space rippled. The next moment, Zhao Xuanzhen silently appeared before the Summoning Gate. At that exact moment, a gigantic beast burst through it!

A sharp claw gleaming with a cold, sinister luster reached out from the Summoning Gate and slammed heavily into the Virtual Space Battlefield's metal floor, leaving behind five savage, terrifying gouges.

A massive wolf head that nearly filled the entire doorway squeezed through. Its scarlet beast eyes radiated ferocity like two evil suns burning with hellfire. Ao Wuchang's face instantly shifted from terror to wild joy. The Summoning Gate's power burst forth as the Hundred-Thousand-Year Dark Nether Wolf Emperor arrived to reinforce them!

However, the Dark Nether Wolf Emperor met those calm, unruffled ink-black eyes before the gate. After sensing the spiritual will of Only I Am Supreme, a furious howl became forcibly wedged in its throat!

"Awwoo..."

A mournful whine with a tremble echoed through the Virtual Space Battlefield, completely at odds with the Dark Nether Wolf Emperor's enormous body and the violent aura of its hundred-thousand-year cultivation.

The enormous head that had just squeezed through the Summoning Gate suddenly recoiled as though electrocuted. Its tail behind it instinctively clamped tightly between its hind legs. The Dark Nether Wolf Emperor ignored the temporary contract of the Summoning Gate. Its body erupted with agility as though its bloodline potential had been unleashed, and it desperately retreated, wanting only to shrink behind that gate and return to its original space as quickly as possible!

Are you kidding me? You want me to go die against a freak like that?!

That was the Dark Nether Wolf Emperor's final message to Ao Wuchang through the Summoning Gate contract. Under Ao Wuchang's stiff, bewildered gaze, the Summoning Gate closed completely.

Ao Wuchang stood frozen in place, his face deathly pale and his lips trembling nonstop. The Hundred-Thousand-Year Dark Nether Wolf Emperor he had exhausted himself to summon as his trump card had encountered Zhao Xuanzhen like a mouse meeting a cat. It had not even dared to show its whole body.

In the distance, seeing this, the White Armored Earth Dragon and Thousand Jun Ant Emperor immediately lost the breath they had forcibly gathered. Like two camels crushed by the last straw, they tilted their heads and automatically withdrew from the Virtual Space. Ao Wuchang then received a heavy slap from Zhao Xuanzhen. His head spun two and a half times before he followed the same path as his two good brothers.

"Now, Xuanzhen is a Reserve Spirit Emissary as well." Leng Yaozhu smiled lightly.

Inside the conference hall, the Spirit Pagoda councilors exchanged glances. At this moment, the Number One and Number Two heirs stood on the same starting line, and the struggle for Spirit Emissary had entered its most intense stage!

Zhao Xuanzhen and Qiangu Zhangting were about to battle. The Spirit Pagoda higher-ups stared closely at the screen, while several Neutral Faction councilors watched most attentively. The two great geniuses were about to clash head-on. Whoever won would become the Spirit Pagoda Crown Prince, and their victory would influence those councilors' inclinations.

"Heavenly Saint Douluo, notify Zhangting to enter the Virtual Space Battlefield."

Qian Gu Dongfeng remained calm. This was merely the Reserve Spirit Emissary examination. The Spirit Transmission Trio's combat strength could not be called outstanding among those of the same level. If Zhao Xuanzhen could not even defeat the three of them, then he should forget about defeating Qiangu Zhangting and claiming the Spirit Emissary position. He should go home, wash up, and sleep early.

As for Zhao Xuanzhen's Spirit Domain Realm Spirit Domain, Qian Gu Dongfeng didn't mind. The divine artifacts held by the Qian Gu Family were exceptionally effective against spirit and soul. Within the Virtual Space, a Spirit Domain could not prevent it from acting directly upon Zhao Xuanzhen's Sea of Consciousness.

Qian Gu Dongfeng knew full well that if Qiangu Zhangting decided to use the divine artifact, the shattering of Zhao Xuanzhen's Sea of Consciousness would be his luckiest possible outcome!

Anyone who threatened the Qian Gu Family's fundamental interests had to be destroyed. Qian Gu Dongfeng had already prepared for Leng Yaozhu to go mad. No matter what, Zhao Xuanzhen could not be allowed to remain alive!

Within the Virtual Space Battlefield, countless points of light condensed into Qiangu Zhangting's figure. Dressed in exquisite, magnificent white robes, he stood facing Zhao Xuanzhen from afar and transmitted his voice. "Zhao Xuanzhen, I have waited a long time for this day.

"I, Qiangu Zhangting, inheritor of the Coiling Dragon Staff, favored son of heaven! I am not like you. I was born standing atop the mountain. Since childhood, anything I wanted was something I would definitely obtain. Having everything go my way is my privilege. This world exists because of me!

"I want Gu Yue. I want Na'er. I want the Phoenix family to submit to the Qian Gu Family. I enjoy the feeling of possessing everything, the exhilaration of standing above all things!

"And you are the one who defied me, occupying things that should have belonged to me!"

"You're trash without realizing it, spending every day immersed in your own self-woven daydreams. Qiangu Zhangting, I'll beat you back into reality. You'll watch helplessly as everything you once possessed leaves you one piece at a time, until you finally understand that you're trash."

Those hypocritical forms of address—Brother Zhangting and Younger Brother Xuanzhen—had disgusted them beyond measure every time they uttered them. Having torn away their masks, the two could finally be themselves and fully unleash their incomparably pure malice!

"Words are useless. Let our hands decide the truth!" Qiangu Zhangting threw back his head and roared.

"Three-character Battle Armor, Heaven Opening!"

Blinding white-gold radiance erupted as the Three-character Battle Armor attached itself to his body. A point of blazing white light bloomed at Qiangu Zhangting's brow center. A white-gold giant dragon dived straight into the sky, transforming into a dragon-headed battle helmet that descended over his head, while the remaining battle armor components followed closely and covered his body.

A pair of white-gold dragon wings spread wide. The Coiling Dragon Staff in Qiangu Zhangting's hand was illuminated until it took on a white-gold sheen. The dragon patterns coiling around the staff came to life, broke free from the Coiling Dragon Staff's restraints, and expanded with the wind into an Evil-Breaking Dragon over thirty meters long, steadily supporting its master.

White armor, long staff, standing atop a dragon's head. Bathed in sacred radiance, Qiangu Zhangting released a domain halo beneath his feet. Majestic dragon might spread outward, and the air solidified into white-gold as dozens of smaller Evil-Breaking Dragons roared into being!

Three-character Battle Armor Heaven Opening, Battle Armor Domain Dragon Domain!

Qiangu Zhangting was only a Three-character Battle Armor Master, but he had long decided on the full name of his future Four-Word Battle Armor: Heaven and Earth Creation!

War God Fight the Earth, Heaven and Earth Coiling; Heaven and Earth Creation—the Heaven and Earth Battle Armor passed down through three generations of the Qian Gu Family!

"Three-character Battle Armor, Tai Chi Dao."

His clear voice carried a strange penetrating power, instantly overwhelming the Evil-Breaking Dragons' roars. An indescribably mysterious and profound Dao Charm spread through the entire space.

Behind Zhao Xuanzhen, a pair of enormous battle armor wings unfurled. The Metal Wings were one black and one white, like a boundary dividing yin from yang. Profound black and pure blazing white became the world's dominant hues, dragging the Space Battlefield into the Yin Yang Realm!

A Tai Chi Diagram with circulating yin and yang emerged in midair, its range fully five times greater than the Dragon Domain. The moment Tai Chi Dao collided fiercely with Qiangu Zhangting's Heaven Opening Battle Armor Domain, the Dragon Domain began to dissolve in a bizarre manner!

Both were Three-character Battle Armor, yet the gap between them was obvious to the naked eye. Qiangu Zhangting was a sixth-level Mecha Repairer, wholly unqualified to participate in the creation of Three-character Battle Armor. How could his Fusion Degree possibly compare to Zhao Xuanzhen's?

The menacing white-gold domain collapsed at the first touch. Dozens of Evil-Breaking Dragons charged into the seemingly tranquil Tai Chi Diagram like Mud Bull Enters the Sea, unable to stir even a ripple. They were broken down and assimilated by the endlessly circulating Yin and Yang Qi, ultimately returning to nothingness!

Three-character Battle Armor Tai Chi Dao!

Battle Armor Domain, Myriad Laws of Nature!
