"Could it be that my Supreme Yang Flame is the key to defeating it?"
Li Jiutian hid in the shadows to ponder for a moment before shouting, "Fourth Spirit Ability, Blazing Sun Dragon-Locking Array!"
A barrier of flames instantly engulfed the surrounding ten kilometers, trapping both Qian Daoliu and the Heavenly King Griffin within.
When the Heavenly King Griffin saw the fiery barrier, a flicker of panic crossed its eyes, which Li Jiutian caught immediately.
"Master, I've found its weakness!"
"Strike the Heavenly King Griffin with your strongest attack from the front!"
Li Jiutian yelled.
Qian Daoliu nodded slightly, his aura surging abruptly as he said in a deep voice, "Ninth Spirit Ability, Angel Light Feather!"
A massive Six-Winged Angel appeared behind him, its holy light instantly illuminating more than half of the Star Dou Great Forest!
The ninth spirit ability of a Peerless Douluo was no laughing matter; even the highly defensive Heavenly King Griffin was instantly blasted five kilometers away by the sheer force of that spirit power!
At that moment, the angel's wings manifested countless light feathers that shot toward the beast!
Each feather contained hundreds of thousands of pounds of force and was imbued with the power of holy light!
After resisting for a short while, the Heavenly King Griffin faltered, and the countless feathers, sharp as blades, pierced through its body with ease!
Seizing the moment, Li Jiutian summoned his Blazing Holy Dragon and charged fiercely at the beast's back!
"Boom!"
Already severely wounded, the Heavenly King Griffin could not withstand this brutal blow; a transparent hole was instantly punched through its chest by the Blazing Holy Dragon!
"Despicable human, I... I actually die in a place like this!"
The Heavenly King Griffin turned its head with great difficulty to look at the weak human behind it before collapsing to the ground, unwilling to accept its fate.
It had lost because of its own carelessness and arrogance, having underestimated Li Jiutian far too much.
"I truly didn't expect the Heavenly King Griffin to force me to use my ninth spirit ability. It can die with honor," Qian Daoliu said calmly.
Just then, a scarlet hundred-thousand-year spirit ring floated up from the corpse of the Heavenly King Griffin, followed by a golden right arm bone!
"Great, there's even a right arm bone!" Li Jiutian was exceptionally excited.
"Be careful when absorbing the spirit ring and spirit bone!"
"This place is not safe for long. The fall of a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast will disturb the surrounding beasts. I only have thirty percent of my spirit power left, so hurry up and absorb them!" Qian Daoliu cautioned.
"Understood!"
Li Jiutian nodded and began to meditate to absorb the spirit ring and spirit bone.
In the center of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Early morning.
Li Jiutian was drenched in sweat. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and stood up, releasing a hint of his spirit power to shake off the sweat.
Ever since consuming the two immortal herbs, not only had Li Jiutian's physical body become more formidable, but he had also resolved the issue of his twin spirits repelling each other.
Although the process of absorbing a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and spirit bone was painful, it had been far easier than he anticipated.
"Such a powerful aura. Disciple, what is your current spirit power level?"
"To have a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring as your sixth, you are the only one in the entire continent!"
Qian Daoliu nodded with satisfaction, speaking with gratification.
"Master, without your help and guidance, I would not be where I am today!"
After Li Jiutian finished speaking, tears shimmered faintly in his eyes.
He had previously viewed Qian Daoliu as a mere tool, but as time passed, he realized he had been wrong.
Qian Daoliu's meticulous care and doting were just like his father's in his previous life, which touched the softest part of his heart.
"You brat, when did you become so sentimental?"
"Little Tian, with you in Spirit Hall, I can rest easy."
"Everything I have done for you is worth it!"
Qian Daoliu nodded contentedly.
"Master, after absorbing this spirit ring and spirit bone, my spirit power has risen directly to level 66."
"The first ability of this hundred-thousand-year spirit ring is a large-scale area-of-effect attack called Rain of Golden Spikes!"
"Upon activation, thousands of three-meter-long spikes manifested from spirit power will appear above the enemy, each imbued with fire and holy attributes."
"The second spirit ability of the hundred-thousand-year ring is called Time Reversal. After activation, I enter a brief state of invincibility and can recover all damage taken within the previous three seconds."
"Although this second ability is powerful and can be considered a life-saving skill, it requires nearly sixty percent of my spirit power to unleash and can only be used once a day."
"The Heavenly King Griffin's right arm spirit bone skill, Holy Light Sky-Piercing Cannon, is a high-burst linear spirit skill. An ordinary person would be instantly reduced to ashes if struck by it! Its maximum range can reach up to 30 kilometers!"
Li Jiutian replied, his eyes unable to hide his excitement and thrill. This hundred-thousand-year spirit ring was simply too monstrous, especially the second spirit skill, which was truly heaven-defying!
As he was now, he could face five Spirit Douluos alone without the slightest hint of fear!
"As expected of a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, and as expected of my, Qian Daoliu's, disciple. Good! Very good!"
"Disciple, you still have to participate in the Spirit Academy Grand Finals tomorrow, so let us return quickly. It is already the fourth watch; it will be light soon!"
Qian Daoliu laughed heartily, and then the two of them unfurled their Angel Wings and flew toward Spirit City!
Early morning.
Today, Spirit City was a sea of people, bustling with extraordinary excitement.
Because the thrilling Continental Spirit Academy Elite Tournament Grand Finals had finally begun!
Li Jiutian held Luo Zixuan's small hand as they walked out of the villa, then thought to himself:
"This day has finally arrived. Shrek Seven Devils, if I don't beat you into cripples, my name isn't Li!"
Inside the Spirit Hall Soul Fighting Arena.
"I announce, the Continental Spirit Academy Elite Tournament, officially begins!"
As the Cardinal announced the start of the Grand Finals, the atmosphere at the scene was instantly ignited. Many students were incredibly excited, all looking forward to seeing who would become the champion of this tournament.
In the highest center seat sat Bibi Dong, with the two Douluos, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, standing beside her, along with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo.
"First, walking toward us is the Shrek Academy Team!"
"This is the very team that everyone once looked down upon, yet they defeated strong enemies time and time again to finally stand on the stage of the Grand Finals. Whether they can create another miracle today, let us wait and see!"
The Cardinal provided the commentary.
"Third Brother, I really think the Dean is something else. It's the Grand Finals, and he still makes us wear these advertisement-covered combat uniforms. It's so ugly!"
Ma Hongjun covered his chubby face and muttered in a low voice.
"Fatty, stop complaining. It's already not bad that he changed us from the original green combat uniforms to black."
Tang San shook his head helplessly.
"Our Dean is a typical money-grubber; you know that!"
Oscar also chimed in.
Shrek Academy's combat uniforms were entirely black and covered in brand advertisements, but at this moment, no one dared to underestimate this team.
Because this team might just be the final champion!
"Brothers, it hasn't been easy to make it this far. Today, we will end Spirit Hall Academy's multi-year championship streak. Shrek Academy must win!"
After Dai Mubai finished speaking, he clenched his hand into a fist and extended it horizontally.
Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and the others also clenched their fists and bumped them with Dai Mubai's. Six people bumped fists, but there was one gap left.
"San, what are you worried about?"
Grandmaster walked over, looking at the furrowed-brow Tang San, and asked in confusion.
"Teacher, although we have already discussed our tactics in advance, I always feel that there will be variables with the Spirit Hall Academy team!"
Tang San let out a long sigh and voiced his inner turmoil.
"Are you worried about that Li Jiutian taking the stage? San, the championship is secondary; your safety is the top priority!"
Grandmaster patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly.
"Yes! I understand."
After Tang San finished speaking, he also extended his fist to bump it, and finally, the seven of them shouted together:
"Shrek Academy must win!"
Just then, Xie Yue walked out and mocked, "You clowns think you can win the championship?"
Following closely behind him were Hu Liena, Li Jiutian, and the others.
Spirit Hall Academy wore luxurious combat uniforms, forming a sharp contrast with Shrek Academy.
Li Jiutian's eyes flashed with golden light as he looked at Xiao Wu with a meaningful expression, thinking: "Interesting. To be able to hide the aura of a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast even without the Love-Sickness Broken-Heart Red—how exactly did she manage that?"
"Next, walking toward us is the invincible Spirit Hall Academy Team!"
"The Spirit Hall Academy Team has replaced two members, Sun Chuantao and Xu Yu, with two rising stars taking the stage!"
"One of them is named Luo Zixuan, whose spirit is the Jade Scepter, a level 49 support and control-type spirit master!"
"And this other one is truly extraordinary; he is the only personal disciple of the Elder Hall's Great Protector, a peerless genius!"
"His name is Li Jiutian, and his martial soul is the supreme Eight-Winged Angel. He is a level 66 power-attack type Soul Emperor!"
The cardinal explained with excitement.
The scene erupted into an instant uproar, and many students began to discuss it fervently:
Jiang Zhu: "That youth in the black brocade robe looks like he's only 14, yet he's actually a level 66 Soul Emperor. How are we supposed to fight that?"
Qin Ming: "We might have had a slim chance against the Golden Generation alone, but with a monster like this entering the fray, the current situation is truly despair-inducing!"
Grandmaster: "He really did take the stage!"
"Good heavens, is this kid a monster? He's only 14, right?" Chrysanthemum Douluo was also incredulous.
"I said he looked familiar. Fengzhi, he is that same youth who crossed us at the auction house back then!"
Sword Douluo whispered at this moment.
Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly upon hearing this, gripping his cane tightly as he thought, Rongrong, you must not let anything happen to you!
Yu Xiaogang, you never expected that I still had a trump card like Li Jiutian!
Bibi Dong glanced toward Grandmaster with her beautiful eyes, thinking to herself.
"How on earth did he do it? He's roughly the same age as us, yet he's already a level 66 Soul Emperor!"
Dai Mubai sighed.
After the cardinal announced Li Jiutian's level, everyone present was shocked, especially the Shrek Seven Devils, who felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them, their fighting spirit completely extinguished.
At this moment, Grandmaster exchanged a look with Flender.
Flender understood immediately, then sighed and said, "Children, let's concede this match!"
Damn it, Little San, you absolutely must not concede! Li Jiutian thought.
"Dean Flender is right. Even if we concede the match, we are still the runners-up!"
