"Six... six Titled Douluo! Add Tang Chen, and that makes seven Douluo in one sect!"
"My heavens, is this the strength of the Clear Sky Sect?"
"As expected of the number one sect on the Douluo Continent."
"You forgot Tang Hao. That makes eight Douluo in one sect!"
Everyone in Spirit City was utterly dumbfounded when they saw the six Soul Rings around Tang Xiao and the others.
On the Douluo Continent, a sect only needed one Titled Douluo to guard it to become a top-tier power.
Spirit Hall, meanwhile, had only ever publicly acknowledged four Titled Douluo: Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo.
Now the Clear Sky Sect had suddenly produced seven. It had shaken everyone to their core.
And they were the Clear Sky Sect, whose Martial Soul was the Clear Sky Hammer, reputed to be the number one weapon-type Martial Soul on the Douluo Continent.
With the Clear Sky Hammer alone, they had enough strength to crush anyone, even taking on two opponents at once.
At that moment, everyone suddenly felt that if the Clear Sky Sect had brought a few more people, they could probably take Spirit Hall.
" Sect Master Tang, what are you—"
With Sword Douluo's help, Ning Fengzhi had been among the first to arrive in Spirit City.
When he saw Tang Chen and the six others with Tang Xiao, he was utterly stunned.
The Clear Sky Sect was far too powerful, even for one of the Upper Three Sects.
With Tang Hao included, they had a full eight Titled Douluo.
The Clear Sky Sect had spent more than a decade biding its time. It certainly hadn't been idle.
It seemed he should learn from the Clear Sky Sect and shut his sect away from the world, too.
"Brother Ning, you're here!"
"We've only come to lend our grandfather our support and, while we're at it, reclaim the honor of the Clear Sky Sect."
"Would you be willing to help us, Brother Ning, and support the Clear Sky Sect's return to the world?"
Seeing Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo arrive, Tang Xiao hurried over and invited him to join their side against Spirit Hall.
"This..."
Ning Fengzhi could guess what Tang Xiao had in mind, and he was torn.
Sword Douluo had no time to offer Ning Fengzhi advice.
His attention was fixed entirely on Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen.
First, witnessing them would let him experience the might of a Limit Douluo firsthand. He hoped the battle might help him find the opportunity to break through Level 97.
Second, Qian Daoliu was the enemy who had killed his father. He wanted nothing more than to see Tang Chen smash Qian Daoliu into a heap of broken flesh with one swing of his hammer. At least then he would have witnessed his father's revenge with his own eyes.
"Nephew Ning, what's there to hesitate about?"
"I've long been sick of Spirit Hall!"
"Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect will support the Clear Sky Sect's return and help it reclaim its place among the Upper Three Sects!"
Just then, Yu Yuanzhen came flying over and made his decision without the slightest hesitation.
With seven Titled Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect here, along with him and Sword Douluo, what the hell did they have to fear from Spirit Hall?
He refused to believe Spirit Hall could produce more than ten Titled Douluo.
Even if Spirit Hall made a move, the Upper Three Sects weren't pushovers.
Their elite disciples were already on their way. At worst, they could take the opportunity to destroy Spirit Hall, seize Spirit City, and wipe Spirit Hall off the map.
"All right. Since Sect Master Yu has agreed, how could I refuse?"
"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will also support the Clear Sky Sect's return and help it reclaim its place among the Upper Three Sects!"
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath and made what would prove to be the worst decision of his life.
"Ha ha ha! Good! Thank you both for your support!"
"With you on our side, let's see who dares stand in the way of the Clear Sky Sect's return!"
Seeing that Ning Fengzhi had agreed as well, Tang Xiao threw his head back and laughed.
He knew the Clear Sky Sect had returned to the world. Its standing would surpass what it had been more than a decade ago, overpower Spirit Hall, and make it the true number one sect on the Douluo Continent.
"Heh. Do the Upper Three Sects really think Spirit Hall has no one left?"
"Men, surround them!"
Bibi Dong had listened to the three of them and sneered coldly.
They had this handful of Titled Douluo and still dared to challenge Spirit Hall?
Did they really think they mattered?
At her command, Spirit Hall's people sprang into action, surrounding Tang Xiao, Ning Fengzhi, Yu Yuanzhen, and the rest.
Every one of them was a powerful Soul Emperor or higher, hundreds in all.
Judging solely by the forces below the rank of Titled Douluo, Spirit Hall was more than capable of crushing the Upper Three Sects.
And if they counted the Soul Emperors and stronger experts who didn't serve in Spirit City, there were more than a thousand.
That was the foundation of Spirit Hall!
Spirit City was known as a sacred place for Soul Masters, and rightfully so!
"Bibi Dong, do you think these people can keep us here?"
"I forgot to tell you: more than a hundred Soul Emperors and stronger experts from our Clear Sky Sect are on their way."
"If you dare make a move, we'll fight you. Let's see which side wipes out the other!"
Tang Xiao wasn't afraid of this crowd.
One swing of his hammer could smash a whole group to death.
"The Soul Emperors and stronger experts from our Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect are on their way, too."
"Bibi Dong, I advise you not to make a move!"
Yu Yuanzhen wasn't afraid either. They had eight Titled Douluo here, and Ning Fengzhi—the number one auxiliary-type Soul Master on the Douluo Continent—was with them. They had nothing to fear!
"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's elite disciples are on their way as well."
"Your Holiness, please think carefully before you act!"
Ning Fengzhi remained neither servile nor overbearing as he clasped his hands toward Bibi Dong, displaying the utmost courtesy of a man of letters.
He seemed to be showing respect, but in truth he was threatening her—striking at her pride as well as her life.
"Ha ha ha ha! You really think Spirit Hall has no Titled Douluo of its own?"
"So you want to compare Titled Douluo with Spirit Hall?"
"Today, I'll show you Spirit Hall's true strength!"
"Elders, where are you?"
Bibi Dong threw her head back and laughed, not taking this rabble seriously in the slightest.
Since they had come looking for trouble, they had just given her the perfect opportunity to wipe out the Upper Three Sects.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
One figure after another flew out from Spirit Hall and hovered in midair. They summoned their Martial Souls—seven in all.
With Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo included, Spirit Hall now had a full eleven Titled Douluo.
Tang Xiao and the others saw them, and their expressions changed at once.
They hadn't expected Spirit Hall to have hidden so many Titled Douluo.
"Bibi Dong, do you think seven more ordinary Titled Douluo can change the course of this battle?"
"You're underestimating my support abilities, Ning Fengzhi!"
Ning Fengzhi felt the pressure bear down on him. He immediately summoned his Martial Soul and split his focus eight ways, bolstering all eight Titled Douluo on Tang Xiao's side.
With Ning Fengzhi's support, Tang Xiao and the others saw their combat strength increase by seventy percent. They could each take on two opponents.
Tang Xiao could even take on three!
"Heh, is that so?"
"Six Great Elders, where are you?"
Bibi Dong gave a cold laugh, summoned her Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul, and unleashed the Soul Power aura exclusive to a Level 98 expert.
The Six Great Elders, hidden nearby, flew over one after another. They summoned their Martial Souls and released the pressure of Super Douluo.
The moment the Six Great Elders appeared, everyone in the city was shocked. Even Tang Xiao and the others were so shaken that their faces turned as white as snow.
Good heavens!
Spirit Hall was too powerful!
It had more than a dozen Titled Douluo, including seven Super Douluo and one Limit Douluo.
Such strength was simply staggering!
"Everyone from Spirit Hall, heed my command! Destroy the Upper Three Sects, led by Tang Xiao, and defend the glory of Spirit Hall!"
At Bibi Dong's command, she was the first to charge at Tang Xiao.
"This is bad. They really have started fighting. When did Bibi Dong become like this?"
"Doesn't she know that doing this will make the people of Spirit City suffer too?"
"Alas, I suppose it's my turn to step in!"
Duan Changsheng was deeply disappointed by Bibi Dong's decision. He planned to stop the war before his daughter was caught in the crossfire.
The Sky Screen seemed to be enjoying the spectacle. It hadn't changed for ages, and the final scumbag still hadn't appeared.
"Wang Yuyan, I'm not interested in fighting. I'm going out for a drink."
Duan Changsheng made up an excuse and turned to leave.
Wang Yuyan was already captivated by the battle about to begin. She didn't have time to pay attention to him. She waved him off, telling him to go drink and not disturb her while she watched.
Once Duan Changsheng reached an unoccupied place, he disguised himself as Masked Superman and soared into the air.
