Douluo: Shocked, the Most Beautiful Bride Qian Renxue!

Ghost Douluo transformed into a shadow, but just as he was about to reach Xiao Wu, a massive sword blocked his path.

"Chen Xin of the Sword Dao, are you going to wade into these muddy waters and set yourself against Spirit Hall?"

Ghost Douluo materialized from the shadows and threatened.

"Shrek Academy are honored guests of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Whoever dares to harm them is an enemy of our sect!"

After finishing his sentence, Sword Douluo brandished his Seven Kill Sword and charged at Ghost Douluo.

At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo was occupied with Dugu Bo, while Ghost Douluo was locked in combat with Sword Douluo; they were all tangled in fierce fighting.

"Fight amongst yourselves, then!"

"Tang San, pay with your life!"

"Fourth Spirit Ability: Blazing Sun Cross Slash!"

As Li Jiutian finished speaking, a cross-shaped slash appeared in the air and surged toward the fallen Tang San!

Just as the cross slash was about to strike Tang San, Grandmaster, and the others, a thunderous boom erupted from the sky, and a massive Clear Sky Hammer slammed down to block their path!

"How dare you try to harm my son? Get lost!"

A roar suddenly thundered from the heavens.

"His Excellency Clear Sky!"

Grandmaster looked toward the sky, his expression softening significantly.

At this moment, Tang Hao's spirit rings descended in succession (Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red).

"Tang Hao, how dare you act so presumptuously before the Pope Hall!" Bibi Dong shouted.

"Pope Hall, a fine Pope Hall indeed! Today, I shall show you what a true Clear Sky Avatar looks like!"

After Tang Hao spoke, his killing intent coalesced into a red, half-bodied giant dozens of meters tall, which swung the Clear Sky Hammer down toward the Pope Hall!

"Tang Hao, you dare!"

Bibi Dong shouted and charged at Tang Hao first, with Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo following closely behind.

At this moment, the spirit power of Bibi Dong and the two others formed a golden barrier that enveloped the Pope Hall, slowly pushing the massive Clear Sky Hammer back.

"I'll see this through to the end!"

Tang Hao let out a roar, and the hammer began to descend once more, inch by inch.

"BOOM!"

With a deafening explosion, the power of Tang Hao's strike was so immense that even those standing three kilometers away could not open their eyes against the powerful shockwave.

The Angel Statue in front of the Pope Hall was shattered into pieces by the blow.

"Grandmaster, Flender, thank you for teaching my son for all these years. I, Tang, owe you!"

Tang Hao's booming voice echoed from the sky, though he had already vanished without a trace.

"Tang San and Xiao Wu have been taken away by His Excellency Clear Sky!"

Liu Erlong looked around and said in surprise.

"They are safest by His Excellency Clear Sky's side for now!"

Grandmaster let out a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, that brat Tang Hao is too arrogant. Shall I send men to hunt him down?"

Ghost Douluo said with a sinister tone.

"Shut up!"

"If Tang Hao were so easy to deal with, would he still be alive today?"

"Sigh, forget it. Now is not the time to deal with him."

Bibi Dong shook her head helplessly.

"Your Majesty, what about them?"

Chrysanthemum Guan pointed at Grandmaster and the others.

"Have them get out of Spirit City immediately!" After saying this, Bibi Dong strode toward the Spirit Hall plaza.

Damn that Tang Hao, I will kill you sooner or later! Li Jiutian thought to himself, then glanced at Grandmaster and the others.

"Jiutian, don't be angry anymore. We are the champions, after all. Let's go, we'll hold a victory banquet for you!"

Seeing Li Jiutian's perpetually furrowed brows, Hu Liena pulled him toward the Spirit Hall plaza.

After this battle concluded, Li Jiutian's name resounded throughout the entire continent, making him a legendary figure known to all.

On the side of Spirit Hall Academy, aside from Li Jiutian and Luo Zixuan who were completely uninjured, the others had already begun to recover from their wounds.

In contrast, the Shrek Seven Devils were all severely injured and unconscious; whether they would even wake up remained an unknown!

Spirit Hall.

On the plaza.

Li Jiutian, Hu Liena, and the others stood in a line of their own accord.

"Children, you performed brilliantly in this tournament, allowing our Spirit Hall Academy to retain the championship for another year!"

"Li Jiutian, in particular, showed the most outstanding performance. Against the odds, he faced seven opponents alone and secured victory. He is a role model worthy of your emulation."

"As for these three ten-thousand-year spirit bones, send a representative forward to receive them!"

Bibi Dong looked at Li Jiutian with gratification, then gave a light wave of her hand, causing the three spirit bones to float before her.

The three spirit bones offered as rewards by Spirit Hall were the Wisdom Skull Bone of Spirit Concentration, the Blazing Burning Flame Right Arm Bone, and the Swift Wind-Chasing Left Leg Bone.

"Brother Xie Yue, you are the captain of our team, you go!"

Li Jiutian said modestly.

"Little Tian, you sacrificed far too much for this championship. Without you, we could never have won!"

"This glory belongs to you!"

Xie Yue patted him on the shoulder and replied with a smile.

"That's right, Little Tian, don't decline!"

Yan chimed in as well.

"Alright, brother, just go!"

Luo Zixuan pushed him forward forcefully.

Li Jiutian looked at Luo Zixuan and the others, exchanged smiles with them, and then walked toward the front.

"Qian Daoliu has truly raised a heaven-defying monster!"

"I will leave the distribution of these three spirit bones to you."

Watching Li Jiutian walk up to her, Bibi Dong teased.

"Thank you, Your Holiness the Pope!"

Li Jiutian said respectfully, and the three spirit bones floated into his palms.

Hu Liena and the others had eyes gleaming with excitement, staring fixedly at the spirit bones.

"If everyone has no objections, I will distribute these three spirit bones," Li Jiutian said as he walked back to the group with the bones.

Hu Liena and the others nodded slightly; this tournament had shown them the gap between themselves and Li Jiutian.

If one were to compare the Golden Generation to Li Jiutian, it would be like comparing stars to the bright moon, or crows to a phoenix—they were simply not on the same level.

"The Wisdom Skull Bone of Spirit Concentration goes to Nana; it suits her best."

"The Blazing Burning Flame Right Arm Bone goes to Yan, and the Swift Wind-Chasing Left Leg Bone goes to Xie Yue," Li Jiutian declared.

"How can this be? Little Tian, you sacrificed so much for this championship; it wouldn't be right for you to end up with nothing. I cannot accept this spirit bone!"

Hu Liena shook her head slightly and spoke up.

"Don't decline. These three spirit bones truly don't suit me, and besides, I have something else I want—though I fear Your Holiness the Pope might not agree!"

Li Jiutian forcefully pressed the spirit bones into the hands of Hu Liena and the others, then turned his gaze toward Bibi Dong.

"Thank you, Little Tian, then we won't stand on ceremony!"

Hu Liena cradled her spirit bone, looking overjoyed.

Xie Yue and Yan were also ecstatic.

"Little Tian, what is it you want? As long as it isn't too excessive, I can satisfy you!"

Bibi Dong asked with great interest.

"Your Holiness the Pope, I want you to grant me one-sixth of the military authority of Spirit Hall and bestow an official title upon me."

Li Jiutian's expression was solemn and earnest.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire crowd was shocked; no one had expected his ambition to be so great.

The reason Li Jiutian did this was to build an army and a sect that were completely loyal to him.

In the future, he would use them to crush Tang San in every aspect!

Bibi Dong was stunned for a few seconds, then she laughed heartily: "Very well, I grant your request. I appoint you as the General of Heavenly Might, with a status in Spirit Hall second only to my own!"

"Thank you, Your Holiness the Pope!"

Li Jiutian said respectfully.

"Take this Elder token; it is one of the symbols that proves your identity!"

Bibi Dong tossed a token to Li Jiutian.

Li Jiutian's Elder token was different from the others; it was crafted entirely from diamond, looking incredibly luxurious.

"I believe that with a talent like Little Tian in Spirit Hall, the unification of the continent is not far off!"

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Bibi Dong's mouth before she turned and walked into the Pope Hall.

"Brother, I never expected you to be so ambitious—refusing spirit bones in favor of power and status!"

Luo Zixuan sighed in admiration.

"I have no interest in such power and vanity. Once I help Spirit Hall unify the continent in the future, you will understand!"

Li Jiutian patted her small head and replied with doting affection.

Bibi Dong thought about it later.

Giving Li Jiutian power was not a bad thing; in this way, she could pull him onto her side.

No matter what happened in the future, Li Jiutian would inevitably have to rely on her, thereby slowly distancing himself from Qian Daoliu.

One month later.

Outside Spirit City.

On a bustling street.

Li Jiutian and Luo Zixuan walked along the roadside like major celebrities; wherever they went, people would crowd around them.
