"Spirit Hall has gotten stronger again and again!"
"Meanwhile, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect keeps falling behind."
"If this keeps up, how will our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect ever stand against Spirit Hall?"
Ning Fengzhi looked at the reward Golden Crocodile Douluo had received.
He was green with envy.
Even without having to think about it, Ning Fengzhi could tell that a Soul Spirit created by a Level 99 Limit Douluo had to be something extraordinary.
After three arena battles,
Spirit Hall's strength had undergone a qualitative leap.
Qian Daoliu had become a god!
Qian Xunji had been resurrected!
Golden Crocodile Douluo had broken through to Level 99!
Spirit Hall had already been absurdly powerful.
And now its strength had increased by so much more.
What could the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect possibly compare with it in the future?
Just thinking about it gave Ning Fengzhi a headache.
"Fengzhi, don't look so worried."
"Spirit Hall only won three matches in a row because they were lucky."
Sword Douluo saw Ning Fengzhi's deeply furrowed brows and spoke up to comfort him.
Bone Douluo nodded.
After watching all three battles, Spirit Hall really had been lucky.
Take Qian Daoliu, for example!
If not for his advantage in attribute matchups,
Qian Daoliu could never have beaten Ye Xishui.
To describe just how terrifying Ye Xishui was, even Tang Chen would have had to kneel before her.
One blast from the Death God Tower, and no matter what kind of Clear Sky Hammer you had, it would all fall silent.
But, of all things,
Ye Xishui had been matched against Qian Daoliu.
With such a crushing disadvantage, even Ye Xishui's immense abilities couldn't make a splash.
The battle between Qian Xunji and Zhongli Wu had also been won through luck.
Once again, it came down to an attribute advantage, combined with the power of a divine weapon.
That had allowed Qian Xunji to defeat a stronger opponent.
As for Golden Crocodile Douluo's victory, that was pure dumb luck.
Whenever Ning Fengzhi and Sword and Bone Douluo thought of Xuan Zi, they couldn't help but complain.
The dignified Level 98 Taotie Douluo had actually gotten himself drunk before the match even began.
It was so outrageous that it completely rewrote Ning Fengzhi's understanding of the world.
For a moment, Ning Fengzhi had even thought Xuan Zi was deliberately throwing the match.
Otherwise, he just couldn't understand
how Xuan Zi could have pulled off something so absurd.
Whenever Ning Fengzhi thought of Xuan Zi now, he couldn't help cursing him out.
It was all because of that useless Xuan Zi.
He had not only kept Ning Fengzhi from breaking even, but had cost him two levels of Soul Power as well.
As an Angel Investor,
Ning Fengzhi had misjudged twice in a row, bringing shame upon himself.
After all, Ning Fengzhi had never taken such a heavy loss before.
"Dad, don't be angry."
"When Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa enter the arena, they'll definitely win back some face for our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Ning Rongrong came to Ning Fengzhi's side, playing the role of a caring daughter.
Though Ning Rongrong often got Ning Fengzhi into trouble in her daily life,
she was still very good at reading the room when it mattered.
Seeing Ning Rongrong acting sweet and adorable,
much of the gloom in Ning Fengzhi's heart immediately faded.
"Exactly!"
"If Uncle Sword and Uncle Bone enter the arena, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will surely perform no worse than Spirit Hall."
Ning Fengzhi had great confidence in Sword and Bone Douluo.
The two of them ranked among the very best in the entire Soul Master World.
They simply hadn't been given a chance to enter the arena yet.
Otherwise...
A fool like Xuan Zi would be no match for Sword Douluo. He could take him down with a single strike.
Sword Douluo wasn't exaggerating.
If his opponent were someone like Xuan Zi,
he could fight with his eyes closed.
Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi calmed his roiling frustration.
His Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect still had a chance.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
Yu Yuanzhen once again congratulated himself for not betting impulsively.
Fortunately, he had been cautious enough.
Otherwise, Xuan Zi would have nearly cheated him too.
Back then, when Yu Yuanzhen saw Xuan Zi's Martial Soul, he had almost impulsively bet on him.
After all, Yu Yuanzhen knew better than anyone how powerful Taotie was.
It was a Martial Soul even more exceptional than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
Though the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was hailed as the greatest Beast Martial Soul clan in the world,
in truth, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was nothing special.
They couldn't even be considered true dragons.
There were countless Beast Martial Souls more powerful than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
Xuan Zi's Godly Taotie Bull was one of them.
At first, Yu Yuanzhen had been very optimistic about Xuan Zi.
But he hadn't expected Xuan Zi to perform so poorly.
If Yu Yuanzhen had bet on him,
Xuan Zi would have angered him to death.
"Damn it, give us our money back!"
"This is nothing but a fixed match!"
Inside the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, many disciples cursed in outrage.
They just couldn't accept that Xuan Zi had lost in such a ridiculous fashion.
He had brought shame upon the entire dragon race's Martial Souls.
Such a top-tier Martial Soul, and Xuan Zi had handled it like that.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's disciples naturally couldn't accept it.
If Xuan Zi showed up in front of them now,
they would definitely pelt him with rotten eggs and cabbage leaves.
Star Dou Forest!
Di Tian had just woken up. Watching Xuan Zi make such a mess of the Taotie Martial Soul,
he couldn't help thinking that he ought to purge the clan.
How powerful was the Taotie bloodline?
How could Di Tian not be furious when Xuan Zi had performed so disgracefully?
The true Taotie was a mighty being in Di Tian's eyes.
Even if Xuan Zi couldn't reproduce a tenth of its brilliance, he still shouldn't have disgraced it so badly.
"Damnable human, you'd better pray you never cross paths with me."
"Otherwise, I'll purge the clan myself in the arena."
Di Tian gave a cold snort.
His voice was thick with murderous intent.
Clear Sky Sect!
Tang Xiao had already made Xuan Zi a cautionary tale, using him to warn the sect's disciples.
"Listen up, all of you."
"As members of the Clear Sky Sect, you must never make this kind of mistake, no matter when or where."
"Alcohol ruins everything. We disciples of the Clear Sky Sect must never let drink and women bring us down."
"If you can't control your desires, you'll end up like Xuan Zi."
"A dignified Level 98 Super Douluo, and he still managed to make a fool of himself."
Tang Xiao delivered his warning with righteous conviction.
He would never allow anyone in the Clear Sky Sect to become as hopeless as Xuan Zi.
The Five Great Elders agreed wholeheartedly with Tang Xiao's approach.
Xuan Zi's behavior had opened their eyes.
If it hadn't been for Xuan Zi, they might never have known how terrifying the power of drink and women could be.
It could corrupt even a Super Douluo's willpower to such an extent.
Therefore, all the sect's senior leaders agreed that they needed to crack down on the sect's habits.
Heaven Dou Empire!
Emperor Xue Ye wore a long, troubled face.
He had been coveting Ye Xishui's Soul Spirit all along.
If the Heaven Dou Empire could obtain Ye Xishui's Soul Spirit, its Soul Tool technology would advance by leaps and bounds.
By then, all they had to do was develop high-level Soul Tools.
They could make up for the Heaven Dou Empire's lack of Titled Douluos.
But now, Emperor Xue Ye's hopes had been dashed.
Ye Xishui's Soul Spirit had fallen into Golden Crocodile Douluo's hands.
The Heaven Dou Empire no longer had any chance of getting its hands on it.
Meanwhile, thanks to Ye Xishui, Spirit Hall could bring technology forward by ten thousand years.
