Li Bai's Soul Rings

Clang!

A clear sword cry seemed to come from beyond the nine heavens, resounding over the entire Spirit City!

A massive phantom of a Green Lotus Divine Sword, formed entirely from pure Sword Intent, appeared out of thin air directly above Spirit Hall's main hall.

The sword was a hundred meters long, its entire body blooming with cyan radiance. Countless tiny strands of Sword Qi danced around it like lotus petals.

It emitted an endless, terrifying Sword Intent that seemed capable of cleaving the heavens apart and bringing destruction to all laws!

The Green Lotus Giant Sword simply hovered there silently, without launching a direct attack.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Yet the vast Sword Qi pressure, like an ocean, blanketed the entire Core Area of Spirit Hall as though it were tangible.

The guards atop the city walls could barely remain standing beneath the pressure, while Soul Masters below Soul Saint level found it difficult to breathe, their Soul Power frozen!

Enemy attack!!!

Piercing alarm bells instantly rang throughout all of Spirit City!

Almost at the same moment, from the Pope's Palace, Worship Hall, Douluo Hall...

One powerful aura after another erupted!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Several figures shot into the sky like lightning!

At their head was a man with golden hair and golden eyes, an ancient-looking face, and an aura around him as scorching and holy as the sun.

He was none other than Spirit Hall's Great Enshrined One, the Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu!

At his side, Pope Bibi Dong held a Scepter, her Purple Eyes filled with murderous intent, the killing aura around her nearly solidifying into substance!

Behind them, Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, Golden Crocodile Douluo, Falling Devil Douluo, and other Spirit Hall Elders, along with several hidden Titled Douluo, all revealed themselves!

Everyone's gazes locked tightly onto the Green Lotus Giant Sword Dou hovering in the air and radiating endless sharpness.

And the three tiny figures beneath the Giant Sword, who had drawn every eye.

Especially the Green-Robed Swordsman carrying a wine flask and looking utterly unconcerned!

An unprecedented gleam burst from Qian Daoliu's cloudy golden eyes.

He stared fixedly at Li Bai and spoke in a deep voice that rang through heaven and earth like a great bell:

"Who are you, sir, to dare trespass upon Spirit Hall?!"

The millions of people throughout Spirit City held their breaths, looking up at the two sides confronting one another in the sky.

Everyone understood.

A clash between Top Experts, one worthy of being recorded in history, was about to erupt.

Ye Lingling and Ye Zhong stood behind Li Bai. Feeling the terrifying auras across from them, as fearsome as gods and demons, their hearts nearly leaped from their chests.

Ye Lingling's palms were soaked in cold sweat from nervousness.

She had never expected Teacher Li Bai's so-called "method."

To be so direct, so overbearing!

Yet, faced with Spirit Hall's full force of Top Combat Power.

Li Bai merely took another lazy swig of wine, then swept his drunken eyes over Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, and the others before letting out a belch.

He said casually, "I am Li Bai of Big Dipper Academy."

"I came to Spirit City for nothing major. I'm just here to ask you for a few people."

His tone was as calm as if he were haggling over groceries at a street stall.

Qian Daoliu's blazing gaze, like the sun itself, first swept over Li Bai.

Then it finally settled on Bibi Dong's unsightly expression, and his brows furrowed slightly.

A barely perceptible hint of questioning entered his voice. "Bibi Dong, what is this about?"

Though he had lived in seclusion within Worship Hall for a long time and paid no heed to worldly matters.

He still knew that Bibi Dong had recently been recruiting the Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Master who had lifted the curse.

Now, seeing the other side's display, as well as the uniquely cold girl standing behind the Green-Robed Swordsman, how could he not understand?

Bibi Dong must have used methods that provoked someone she should not have provoked, bringing this ominous figure here!

Sensing the meaning in Qian Daoliu's gaze, a layer of frost seemed to cover Bibi Dong's exquisite face.

She stared fixedly at Ye Lingling, both shocked and furious.

She had never imagined that Ye Lingling had truly joined Big Dipper Academy.

And that Big Dipper Academy acted with such overbearing arrogance, daring to attack Spirit Hall's headquarters directly for the sake of a single Student!

"Great Enshrined One,"

Bibi Dong's voice was cold, carrying a trace of suppressed fury.

"This man trespassed into Spirit Hall and provoked Spirit Hall's dignity. He cannot be spared lightly!"

Though she was wary of Li Bai's strength, as the Pope, if she yielded now before so many eyes, where would Spirit Hall's dignity remain?

Moreover, she intended to use this opportunity to probe the Details of Big Dipper Academy.

This Green-Robed Swordsman could unleash such Sword Intent, so his strength was undoubtedly terrifying.

But just how powerful he was would have to be tested personally!

Upon hearing this, light flickered in Qian Daoliu's profound golden eyes, but he did not state his position immediately.

He likewise wished to use Bibi Dong's hand to probe the Details of this mysterious expert.

Spirit Hall's dignity was certainly important.

But an unknown, powerful enemy required even greater caution.

Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Li Bai merely sneered and raised his head for another drink.

He casually wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.

His indifferent posture was utterly out of place amid the tense atmosphere before them.

"Won't you release them?"

His drunken eyes glanced at Bibi Dong, his tone carrying a trace of mockery.

"Then you can try and see whether you can stop me."

The moment his words fell.

An incomparably terrifying Sword Intent, purer and sharper than that of the Green Lotus Giant Sword before, as though it could sever every restraint and rule in the world.

Erupted from Li Bai's body like a volcano Silent for ten thousand years!

Buzz!

The Soul Power between heaven and earth instantly became violent, while the invisible Sword Intent caused space itself to twist faintly.

At the same time, rings of Soul Rings that made souls tremble slowly rose from beneath his feet.

Red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red.

Nine!

All nine Soul Rings were dazzling Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, radiating a savage aura!

Their bloodlike crimson light reflected upon every face.

Clearly illuminating the shock and horror on the faces of Spirit Hall's experts!

"Nine... nine Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings?!"

Ghost Douluo Gui Mei cried out in shock, his voice cracking.

As a Titled Douluo, he knew better than anyone how difficult it was to obtain even one Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, and what immense opportunity and strength it required.

Yet this man possessed nine?

It completely overturned everything he knew!

Yue Guan's face instantly turned pale as paper. He had previously thought only that the other party's Sword Intent was astonishing.

But upon seeing these nine Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, he finally understood what an insurmountable gulf lay between their strengths!

Bibi Dong's pupils contracted sharply. Her fingers turned white from gripping the Pope Scepter too hard.

She herself possessed Twin Martial Souls and was the Inheritor of the Rakshasa God, yet her Second Martial Soul had not even been fully equipped with Soul Rings, much less all Hundred Thousand Year ones.

Li Bai's strength had definitely reached Level 98.

Perhaps even... the level of a Level Ninety-nine Limit Douluo.

And he was certainly no ordinary Limit Douluo!

At last, unprecedented Solemnness and shock appeared on Qian Daoliu's face, which had been Calm as a still well!

As a Level Ninety-nine Limit Douluo and the Great Enshrined One of the Angel God, he considered his strength unmatched across the continent.

Yet even he could never possibly possess nine Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings.

The true depth of this swordsman calling himself Li Bai was simply unfathomable.

Since when had such a monster been hidden on the continent?

Big Dipper Academy...

What kind of existence was it, exactly?
