"What is he doing?"
"I don't know. Could he be trying to struggle a little?"
"I didn't expect the Spirit Hall Empire to have a Titled Douluo hidden away."
"But what use is that? This is a war to destroy a nation. The enemy must have a god on their side!"
Seeing the scene in the light curtain, many people were at a loss. But some had guessed what Chen Fan was thinking, and immediately let out a cold laugh.
In their eyes,
this mysterious Teyvat Continent was immensely powerful. A mere Titled Douluo—even with his ninth Soul Skill—would be no use at all.
Hadn't they seen how Tang Hao had been utterly helpless, even after detonating all nine of his rings?
Although the sudden appearance of another unfamiliar Titled Douluo in the Spirit Hall Empire had left everyone astonished, compared to Tang Hao, he was surely nothing!
After all, this was a war to destroy a nation!
Their opponent surely had someone who could rival the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles from earlier!
So...
Whatever this ninth Soul Skill was, at most, it would just take out a few more soldiers!
It would have no bearing on the overall battle whatsoever!
The enemy general might even focus on him because of the move Chen Fan had just shown!
If a god set its sights on him, did this mere Titled Douluo think he could survive?
What a joke!
"Just wait. I guarantee that in less than three minutes, this representative of the Spirit Hall Empire will be dead!"
The Heaven Dou Empire's national preceptor, the renowned Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, spoke with absolute certainty. "This is a war to destroy a nation!"
"To show off at a time like this, and reveal his ninth Soul Skill outright—could anything be more obvious?"
The others heard him and agreed that he had a point.
"Grandmaster is right!"
"At a time like this, the best thing to do should be to keep a low profile and look for an opportunity. Acting so brazenly is just asking for death, isn't it?"
The Heaven Dou Empire's side was gloating, while the Spirit Hall Empire's side had fallen silent.
"What is he doing?"
After a long silence, Rakshasa God Bibi Dong finally spoke, her voice hoarse.
Clearly, she shared Yu Xiaogang's view.
Qianjun Douluo and Jiangmo Douluo exchanged glances but said nothing.
Unlike Bibi Dong, they had a different opinion. But at present, Bibi Dong still held all the power in the Spirit Hall Empire. After all, she was its only god; everyone else...
"Teacher, something seems to have happened!"
Hu Liena suddenly cried out.
Her shout immediately drew everyone's attention to the light curtain.
On the Heaven Dou Empire's side, nearly everyone was watching it.
In the scene within the light curtain,
as the ninth Soul Skill descended, the entire city gate fell deathly silent.
Chen Fan flicked his sleeve, leaving not a trace of his flair behind.
Before anyone on the continent had even realized what had happened,
Heavenly Dao's solemn, majestic voice boomed in everyone's minds like thunder from the highest heavens!
[Participant Chen Fan has successfully slain the attacking monster and defended Mondstadt City!] [Mission complete!] [Mission rating: Perfect!] [Personal reward: Chen Fan's Soul Power Level increased by five levels unconditionally!] [Faction reward: All members of the Spirit Hall Empire have all injuries and poisoned states instantly cured! Their Soul Power Levels are also increased by two levels unconditionally!]
The moment Heavenly Dao's voice fell,
everyone in the Spirit Hall Empire felt a warm current surge up from their hearts. Even Qian Renxue, whose Martial Soul had fallen in rank, widened her eyes as she felt the Level 91 Soul Power in her body, her gaze full of shock!
"How is this possible?"
She summoned her Martial Soul, only to find that it was still the Holy Angel. Clearly, this reward had only increased her Soul Power Level and had done nothing for her Martial Soul.
It must have been the kind of Soul Power Level increase that was forced upon her.
Because Qian Renxue could feel that no matter how she meditated or cultivated, her Soul Power wouldn't advance by even the slightest bit.
Even so,
she was overjoyed!
Because this meant she had a chance to evolve back into the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul!
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
The Heaven Dou Empire's side first fell into a deathly silence. But the next moment, Yu Xiaogang's deafening roar rang out, thundering like Luo Sanpao!
"How could this be?!"
"How could he have completed the mission?"
"This is a war to destroy a nation. According to the Heavenly Dao's description, there has to be a god guarding the city!"
In Yu Xiaogang's view—or rather, in the view of nearly everyone—
if someone had attacked Mondstadt, one of the Seven Nations, they would surely have sent a god as well. After all, the Heavenly Dao had stated outright that Mondstadt was one of the Seven Nations, ruled by a god!
But...
How could a god have been taken down in a single blow?
However,
the light curtain showed no intention of explaining things to everyone.
They saw the Teleportation Gate flash, and Chen Fan stepped out.
The next moment,
brilliant golden pillars of light descended from the heavens like divine miracles, landing precisely on every member of the Spirit Hall Empire's faction!
Rakshasa God Bibi Dong, who had been gravely wounded and on the brink of death, blood spilling from her mouth, felt an immense surge of vitality flood into her body. Her shattered organs healed in an instant, her depleted divine power revived like a tidal wave, and her aura climbed steadily!
Qianjun Douluo, Jiangmo Douluo, and the other Titled Douluos trembled with excitement. The bottlenecks they had been stuck at for years shattered with a thunderous crack in the golden light, and their Soul Power rose by two levels!
"My... my injuries are all healed?!"
Feeling the surging Soul Power within her, Rakshasa God Bibi Dong widened her beautiful eyes, her face full of disbelief.
After all, her injuries had been caused by the Asura God. What's more, she was a genuine god!
How could she have recovered... in an instant?
The unfathomable power of this Heavenly Dao had surely... exceeded her imagination!
"Level 98 peak..."
Emerging from the Teleportation Gate, Chen Fan felt the abundant power within him. It was as though he could shatter a city with a single punch.
He had already been at the peak of Level 93 for many years.
Back then, Bibi Dong had sent him to sit on the cold bench in the logistics department. In truth, there was no way a Titled Douluo like him would be handling logistics personally; he was basically just there in name.
So, with nothing to do, Chen Fan had spent his days slacking off, shutting himself away to cultivate again and again. That was how he had advanced from Level 91 to Level 93.
Among those his age, even Qian Renxue might not have had as much talent as he did.
After all,
Qian Renxue had been nearly thirty and only Level 79, a Soul Sage, during the Heaven Dou Palace Coup. Of course, that might have had something to do with that damn infiltration plan of hers.
"Chen Fan, are you all right?"
Seeing Chen Fan appear, Hu Liena hurried over and asked him.
"I'm fine."
