Spirit Hall's Darkest Hour!

Ning Rongrong's bombshell immediately piqued the curiosity of the crowd.

Xu Nian'an displayed remarkable common sense... even his understanding of Beast Tide and Ferocious Beast. Presumably, any normal person would be curious about Xu Nian'an's identity.

Even Zhu Zhuqing was curious about Xu Nian'an's identity.

Although Zhu Zhuqing had some guesses about Xu Nian'an's identity, these guesses were ultimately just guesses and could not be taken as fact.

Now that Ning Rongrong seems to know Xu Nian'an's identity and is about to reveal it, who wouldn't be curious?

Before anyone could ask, Ning Rongrong spoke first.

"Xu Niansheng, the first master of the Soul Spirit Tower!"

Seeing the blank looks on everyone's faces, Ning Rongrong spoke again.

"Perhaps this title is unfamiliar to you, but... what if I told you he participated in the Continent Cup?"

Whoosh!

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, everyone was instantly shocked.

When the Continent Cup was first held, there were very strict age restrictions: the junior cup was for those under ten years old and the Adult Champions Cup was for those under eighteen years old.

The Continent Cup ended less than five years ago, meaning that the person in front of me is not even twenty-five years old.

To possess such strength at less than twenty-five years old is simply... simply terrifying.

Perhaps only Dragon Duke and Zhao Wuji truly know how terrifying Xu Nian'an is.

"That's right, he's the man who won first place in the Power Attack System of the Continent Cup, the Adult Champions Cup..."

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Dragon Duke and Zhao Wuji's pupils contracted sharply again, but their shock lessened slightly.

The Continent Cup has been held across the entire continent, selecting fourteen of the strongest and most talented players from both youth and adulthood.

I've heard that among the seven champions, one of them has already become Soul Emperor by the age of twenty.

Such a phenomenal performance, if he were to win the Continent Cup... well, it's a bit outrageous, but not entirely unacceptable.

The Adult Champions Cup, the top-ranked Power Attack System, the strongest fighter... this title is incredibly prestigious.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, and even... Oscar all turned to look over.

They suddenly remembered that the champion of the Power Attack System back then was indeed a Great Ming Empire surnamed Xu.

They are all people who have benefited from the Continent Cup, either indirectly or directly, so they certainly know the prestige of the Continent Cup.

I just didn't expect that the Power Attack System in the most prestigious Champions Cup would be here.

Moreover, their strength has become so great.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes widened instantly. The top Power Attack System in the Continent Cup!

That's impressive.

"Besides this identity, he has another identity."

Ning Rongrong's words once again piqued everyone's interest.

"The only prince of the Great Ming Empire royal family to have made a public appearance, which means that the person in front of you is a member of the Great Ming Empire royal family, and his position is at least that of a prince!"

"The Great Ming Empire belongs to his family, and Qian Daoliu was defeated by the Great Ming Empire, so he certainly has the right to look down on Qian Daoliu."

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, everyone was once again deeply shocked.

As for why Ning Rongrong knows Xu Nian'an so well...

That's because Xu Niansheng, with his identity and status, is among the top few, perfectly suited to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's requirements for a son-in-law.

His talent is unparalleled across the entire continent; his strength is unmatched among his peers; and his status is such that no ruler of any nation on this continent would marry into such a family.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's unique and transcendent status, coupled with Ning Fengzhi's lack of other children (heirs), meant that Ning Rongrong would not marry outside the family.

Therefore, the prince is the most noble, and who is the most noble and powerful nation on this continent?

Without a doubt, the Great Ming Empire... the Imperial Family!

Ning Rongrong had heard her father say that he had once planned to pay the highest price for this, even at the cost of relocating the entire clan to the prince's fiefdom.

This would have eliminated the problem of the prince marrying into the family... Unfortunately, he never even got to see the prince.

The matter was then dropped.

To Ning Rongrong's surprise, she was now able to meet the person her father had tried so hard to see.

Moreover, he had a very close relationship with his classmate and roommate, which made Ning Rongrong extremely envious.

From a young age, I heard how incredibly talented and powerful Xu Niansheng was, how he was the strongest among his peers, and how he was expected to be ahead of an entire era.

People naturally admire strength, especially when they are constantly exposed to the deeds of Xu Niansheng.

Xu Nian'an's gaze was cold; he wouldn't give up pursuing the person who had just provoked him just because of some flattering words.

"Boy, you've provoked me time and time again. Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"

Bang! Bang! Bang!!!

Dai Mubai was instantly forced to the ground by the powerful pressure, his head, shoulders, and legs pressed tightly against the ground.

"I don't know if I can beat Qian Daoliu, but crushing you would be no more difficult than crushing an ant."

Upon hearing Xu Nian'an's words, Zhao Wuji's expression changed, and he immediately stepped forward.

"Dai Mubai, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"You helped us repel the Titan Giant Ape and resolved our dispute. How can you repay such a great favor..."

At this point, Zhao Wuji shook his head, looking rather pathetic.

"Quickly, quickly kowtow to the senior twice."

Before Dai Mubai could react, Zhao Wuji quickly stepped forward and grabbed the back of Dai Mubai's neck as he struggled desperately.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Senior, please forgive me, please forgive my student."

"He must have experienced too much today— Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, a Beast Tide, and so many Ferocious Beast. He must be terrified."

···

Behind her, Zhu Zhuqing witnessed this scene, and her mind was in turmoil.

Clang!

Just then, a shattering sound suddenly came from the distant horizon.

Everyone slowly turned their heads, and soon they saw that a long sword had appeared in the hand of the huge black dragon.

The moment the longsword clashed with the golden longsword that pierced through the clouds, it shattered instantly, scattering golden fragments everywhere.

"Human, if this is all the strength you have, then prepare to face death!"

Pfft!

In the sky, a huge black dragon shadow began to slowly flap its wings, and in the next instant, it swiftly flew towards Qian Daoliu.

"Come on~!"

Qian Daoliu shouted loudly, showing no fear, and flew up as well. His fifth black Soul Ring lit up, and the longsword in his hand immediately shone with golden light.

In an instant, the Martial Soul in his hand changed, becoming somewhat similar to the Angel Divine Artifact that had fallen from the Great Ming Empire.

Unfortunately, the resemblance was ultimately not true. The moment the Black Dragon Sword in the hands of Qian Daoliu Di Tian clashed, the Angel Holy Sword shattered once again!

Countless golden fragments fell upon Spirit City.

Qian Daoliu was violently knocked away and crushed... Di Tian displayed overwhelming strength against Qian Daoliu.

Anyone with eyes could see that Qian Daoliu was no match for Di Tian.

Instantly, everyone from the Spirit Hall turned ashen-faced.

Great Worship Qian Daoliu is their last trump card. If he loses, I can't believe what kind of massacre the Spirit Hall and the entire Spirit City will suffer!

"Mirror Angel!"

Buzz!

In the sky, Qian Daoliu slowly appeared, followed by another one appearing beside him.

"Sucker Punch."

Immediately afterward, amidst the despair in everyone's eyes, Di Tian shattered the clone with a single sword strike. Then, the Black Dragon Sword continued to enlarge, once again severely suppressing Qian Daoliu.

Now everyone can see that their own Great Worship is simply not on the same level as the others.

Everyone turned deathly pale; the Spirit Hall was plunged into its darkest hour.

If Qian Daoliu defeated, it could very well lead to the destruction of the Spirit Hall, which has been passed down for thousands of years!
