Martial Soul Mysterious Tortoise, Counterattack Armor Critical Strike at the Start

Golden Crocodile's voice was cold, yet it resounded across the entire grand plaza.

Now, only a pool of blood remained on the plaza floor, a nauseating sight to behold.

At that moment, everyone was uneasy.

"No! I didn't! I absolutely did not tell him to do that!"

"If I had known beforehand that he would do something like this, I definitely wouldn't have let him go onstage!"

Porcupinefish Douluo clenched his fists. Huang Wei and Golden Crocodile's words had enraged him, especially that thief Huang Wei, who had actually said something so shameless.

Yet it was indeed before everyone's eyes that he had not acted, while Ci Shi had inexplicably exploded into a mist of blood.

"Porcupinefish Douluo attempted to assassinate the Holy Son. I will now take him back to the Heavenly Prison for judgment!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo did not waste any more words. He knew that Porcupinefish Douluo was grieving the loss of his grandson and could not listen to reason now. He could only let him calm down first.

Moreover, Ci Shi had been at fault from the beginning. If Ci Shi had not developed killing intent toward Huang Wei, then given Huang Wei's restraint, he certainly would not have killed him.

His understanding was not wrong.

If Ci Shi had not developed killing intent toward Huang Wei, Huang Wei would merely have used his Second Soul Skill, eaten sunflower seeds, sipped a drink, and watched the other party continuously strike his tortoise shell.

But Ci Shi should never, under any circumstances, have developed killing intent toward him.

So he could not spare him.

This Ci Shi looked like the sort of person with terrifying ambition.

If he were allowed to grow, Huang Wei was not afraid that he would come after him. He was afraid that he would cause trouble for his grandfather.

However, Porcupinefish Douluo now held absolute killing intent toward him, so this man could not be spared either.

Still, it was not something he could decide now. He would deal with it after he had grown stronger.

The next second, Golden Crocodile knocked Porcupinefish unconscious and, before everyone's eyes, carried him away from the plaza.

"Clean up the plaza."

Bibi Dong spoke calmly.

Someone below endured the scalp-numbing sight and quickly began cleaning up.

Huang Wei ignored those cleaning the area. Instead, his calm gaze swept over the crowd below as he said coolly, "Who else wishes to challenge this Holy Son?"

The domineering aura of a superior emanated from him, intimidating everyone present.

As soon as those words were spoken, the entire venue fell silent.

Those among the younger generation who had originally intended to test Huang Wei all calmed down, cold sweat continuously beading on their foreheads.

After all, they had personally watched someone as strong as Ci Shi become a pool of blood.

So they were afraid.

Truly afraid.

The reason this person could become the Holy Son was indeed because he was far from simple!

Seeing that those below who had been eager to try had all settled down,

Huang Wei's expression remained as calm as ever.

Ci Shi's performance just now had not merely shown everyone how frightening Huang Wei was.

It had also served as a powerful warning, killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.

For Huang Wei, this had undoubtedly been the greatest success.

But for Ci Shi, it had been the greatest failure.

And there was no turning back from that failure.

"Since no one else is coming forward, I hereby announce that Huang Wei shall be the Holy Son of Spirit Hall!"

Bibi Dong's voice rang out again, echoing through the grand plaza of Spirit Hall.

"We pay our respects to the Holy Son!"

The next second, everyone clasped their fists, bowed slightly, and shouted in unison.

This time, the options are giving me a bit of trouble

Listening to the title from below and watching the crowd's respectful attitude, Huang Wei's vanity immediately swelled.

But he could not reveal it on his face. He had to maintain a stern expression and conceal his bursting delight.

Although a few minor disruptions had occurred along the way, this outcome was enough.

At that moment, the aura of superiority around Huang Wei displayed its most powerful effect.

Everyone could feel that superior aura emanating from him. It made those below hold their breath, sweat forming on their foreheads.

His gaze shifted toward the other elder Douluos, who were not like the rest.

After all, the Holy Son's status seemed equal to that of the elders.

He was simply more special, and in certain respects, his authority surpassed that of the elders.

Of course, that also depended on which elder it was.

Bibi Dong and the others were very satisfied that Huang Wei had so quickly entered and adapted to the role of Holy Son.

Huang Wei's expression did not ripple as he said evenly, "Today's Saint Position conferment ceremony is over. You may disperse on your own."

"Yes, Holy Son!"

As soon as those words were spoken, the others all departed.

At the same time, they let out sighs of relief.

The pressure from that aura here was too terrifying.

Some of them could barely endure it.

Even Soul Douluos Below Titled Douluo had been affected, though not as severely as the others.

From this day onward, Spirit Hall had a Holy Son.

Naturally, Hu Liena did not follow the others in doing this, since she was the Saintess of Spirit Hall and held equal status to the Holy Son.

However, she had indeed been suppressed by the powerful aura of superiority around Huang Wei and was greatly shocked. Even as the Saintess, she had almost been unable to resist clasping her fists and bowing in salute.

But she still held herself back.

Yan and Xie Yue beside her were not the same.

They were not the Holy Son, nor did they possess status equal to his. Pressed down by that powerful aura of superiority, they simply stopped forcing themselves and joined the others in clasping their fists and bowing.

Outside Spirit City, in tavern floors and other places that overlooked Spirit City's grand plaza, scouts from certain factions had hidden themselves and watched from afar.

They had all been terrified by what Huang Wei had just done inside.

A Level 45 Soul Ancestor had simply exploded on the spot?

Cold sweat ran down their backs, and they trembled.

If even a Level 45 Soul Ancestor had ended up like that, then either someone had acted in secret, or that boy's tortoise shell defense possessed several times the effect of reflected damage.

Otherwise, a mere one- or twofold reflection could not possibly instantly blow a Level 45 Soul Ancestor, especially one with a Beast Martial Soul, into a sky full of blood mist.

With the ceremony over, they all quickly left as well. There was nothing for them to do except return and report to those in charge.

In truth, Bibi Dong knew all of this perfectly well. She knew exactly how many people from outside factions had infiltrated Spirit City's territory.

Those people believed they had hidden themselves well and had not been discovered, but they did not realize that behind them was an eye lurking even deeper.

However, she did not take the initiative to eliminate them. She intended to go with the flow and allow them to spread the news that Huang Wei had become the Holy Son.

First, it could help Huang Wei grow more quickly in certain ways.

Second, it would establish his reputation and make the outside factions wary, letting them know of the terrifying defense and reflected killing power of Spirit Hall's Holy Son.

This was also one of Bibi Dong's methods of deterrence before expanding outward.

However, just then, the system's voice continuously rang out in Huang Wei's mind.

"Ding. You have secured the position of Holy Son. Congratulations, Host, you have completed the mission."

"Ding. Congratulations, Host, for rightfully becoming Spirit Hall's Holy Son. Reward options:"

"First, Tortoise Shell Defense Enhancement."

"Second, Tortoise Shell Critical Enhancement."

"Third, the Tortoise Shell gains offensive means."

Hearing this, Huang Wei had initially been rather happy, but upon hearing the choices, he immediately could not smile anymore. He fell silent at once, endlessly conflicted inside.

"System, are you messing with me?"

Huang Wei complained inwardly.

System: "The Host may choose not to take it."

"No, I'd better take it." Huang Wei grumbled inwardly.

Looking at the three options before him, he did not hesitate to eliminate the third option immediately.

Offensive means?

Not needed. Counterattack damage was the best offensive means!

Besides, he had his Second Soul Skill, which could continuously store counterattack power before firing it out at the end. That was also one kind of offensive means.

So right now, all I need is defense! Even Jesus couldn't talk me out of it! I said so!!

That left the final two choices.

The second was Tortoise Shell Critical Enhancement.

He thought about it for a moment. If he could not even defend against a powerful enemy's attacks, then even if he could ultimately return a Counterattack Critical, he might not survive.

Given the system's habits, there might be more chances to choose later.

He eliminated options one and two.

That left only the first.

Tortoise Shell Defense Enhancement.

The first level had already been that awesome. If he enhanced it again, reaching the second level, wouldn't it become even more outrageous?

Besides, Counterattack Critical was already enough. As long as no one could break through his tortoise shell defense, he had nothing to worry about. He only needed to sit inside his shell, eat sunflower seeds, watch the other party attack, and once they were exhausted, fire out the accumulated counterattack energy.

This was a skill that was guaranteed to critically strike.

The opponent would have no chance of survival!

Hehehe!!

"System, I choose the first option!"

Huang Wei said inwardly.

"Selection successful!"

As the system's mechanical voice fell, Huang Wei did not feel anything.

After all, it affected his Martial Soul Tortoise Shell. If anyone felt it, it should be the other party.

He opened the Character Panel and looked at the screen before him:
