Clear Sky Sect, War King Douluo, Wang Dong? (Please Keep Reading)

In the ancient forest, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent with the appearance of the tall man.

The nine dazzling Spirit Rings brought an intense shock.

Only a Titled Douluo possessed nine Spirit Rings. This man wielding a long-handled warhammer was actually a Titled Douluo!

"Clear Sky Hammer!"

Hearing what his grandmother had said moments ago, Lin Yan immediately turned his astonished gaze toward the man who had suddenly appeared.

He had just been talking about how the useless Clear Sky Sect had let two Soul Beasts become its sect masters!

Who would have thought that someone from the Clear Sky Sect would appear before him so soon?

Could there really be such a coincidence in the world?

With that thought, Lin Yan took a deep breath and curiously examined the man.

He stood over two meters tall, with neat short black hair and somewhat rough skin. He looked to be in his forties or fifties, with hard, rugged features. Though not particularly handsome, he radiated masculinity. Combined with the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, he was the very image of a tough man!

"Clear Sky Sect, War King!"

The hammer-wielding man answered, then asked Lin Yuhuan, "May I know your title?"

Lin Yuhuan answered directly, "Nine Treasure Glazed Sect, Black Demon!"

Hearing this, the War King Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect chuckled. "So you are the Black Demon Douluo of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect. A pleasure to meet you!"

Lin Yuhuan smiled in return. "I had long heard of the renowned War King Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect. Now that I have met you, your reputation is indeed well deserved."

"Old Steward, he isn't our enemy, is he?" Lin Yan could not help asking as he watched the two converse.

The old steward thought for a moment. "Probably not. Our Nine Treasure Glazed Sect and the Clear Sky Sect have had some connections throughout history. Though ten thousand years have passed, we have kept out of each other's way, and there is no enmity between us."

"Oh!" Lin Yan suddenly understood.

The connection from ten thousand years ago must have referred to Tang San and Ning Rongrong. They had both been among the Shrek Seven Devils and were close friends.

However, ten thousand years had passed. Time had flowed on, the world had changed beyond recognition, and even if that friendship had not completely faded away under the erosion of time, it was close enough.

A roar suddenly rang out from the Titan Giant Ape.

As a super Soul Beast, although it had only cultivated for a thousand years, the Titan Giant Ape was not entirely stupid. The War King Douluo's aura was so powerful that it knew it could not resist him. After letting out a warning roar, it cautiously began backing away.

"Idiot!"

Lin Yan immediately gave his evaluation of the Titan Giant Ape's actions.

If it wanted to run, it should have slipped away quietly. Why roar first, as if it were afraid no one would notice it was trying to escape?

Sure enough, the War King Douluo flashed forward. He raised the warhammer-shaped Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, and dense black light erupted. As the enormous hammerhead, as large as a water vat, descended, even the nearby space twisted.

Just as the warhammer was about to strike the Titan Giant Ape, a streak of black light rushed over.

Bang!

Amid a terrifying boom, an invisible shockwave violently spread in all directions. Under the immense pressure, the ground within a hundred-meter radius could not withstand the force and sank a meter. Even the fleeing Titan Giant Ape was sent flying.

"Your Excellency, what do you mean by this?"

The War King Douluo looked at Lin Yuhuan, who had intervened, and asked in a deep voice.

A short-handled spiked mace similar to Su Qingmu's suddenly appeared in Lin Yuhuan's hand. Nine Spirit Rings of exactly the same colors as the War King Douluo's rose around her, and her aura was not the least bit inferior to his.

She had been the one to block the War King Douluo's strike just now.

Facing his question, Lin Yuhuan said directly, "This Millennium Titan Giant Ape is the Spirit Ring I chose for my grandson. You cannot kill it."

The War King Douluo froze for a moment before saying, "I did not intend to kill it. I want its Spirit Ring as well."

Their eyes met.

Both wore rather strange expressions.

Clearly, their goals had conflicted.

At the same time, the Titan Giant Ape, having landed, turned to flee. The two did not clash again. Instead, they tacitly joined forces, beat the Titan Giant Ape half to death, and then captured it.

From the direction the War King Douluo had come, four more figures jogged over.

One was an older man, appearing to be in his thirties or forties.

The other three were very young, about the same age as Lin Yan and Ning Tian.

"Damn it, are these bastards here to steal my Spirit Ring?"

Lin Yan cursed inwardly. At the same time, he subconsciously looked toward the group. The moment he did, his brows furrowed.

Among the three younger children, he spotted a girl with pink-blue long hair and exquisitely flawless features.

Lin Yan looked at her face, then at her pink-blue hair.

Hair of that color was rare, and she was traveling with people from the Clear Sky Sect.

A name immediately appeared in his mind.

Wang Dong?

Could she be Wang Dong?

If so, that really was too much of a coincidence!

Lin Yan studied her with a strange look on his face. At the same time, the person who might be Wang Dong also turned to look at him, and their eyes met.

Suddenly, Ning Tian tugged at the corner of his clothes and asked in a soft, sweet voice, "Brother Lin Yan, why are you staring at that girl?"

Lin Yan came back to his senses and withdrew his gaze, looking at Ning Tian, who was blinking her large eyes at him.

Good grief, she already knew how to get jealous at such a young age?

Just as Lin Yan was about to say something, Lin Yuhuan's voice suddenly called for him to come over.

Lin Yan hurried over.

"He is the one who wants the Titan Giant Ape's Spirit Ring?"

The War King Douluo sized Lin Yan up and immediately said, "This boy is clearly only a Great Soul Master with level-twenty soul power. How could his second Spirit Ring possibly absorb a Millennium Titan Giant Ape's Spirit Ring?"

"Who says a Great Soul Master cannot absorb a Millennium Spirit Ring? I am exceptionally gifted. Can't I challenge myself?"

Lin Yan spoke without the slightest fear.

Of course, that was because his grandmother was beside him. Otherwise, he would not have dared to be so presumptuous before a Titled Douluo. If that hammer came down, he would probably be smashed into a puddle of flesh on the spot.

Hearing this, the War King Douluo raised a brow, his imposing gaze turning toward Lin Yan.

In an instant, Lin Yan felt as though someone had seized him by the throat, and his face flushed slightly red.

Fortunately, the sensation vanished in the next moment. Lin Yuhuan stepped in front of Lin Yan and said with an unpleasant expression, "You are a dignified Titled Douluo, yet you are picking on an eight-year-old child?"

Having recovered, Lin Yan panted heavily. The clothes on his back were soaked with sweat, and a trace of anger appeared in his eyes.

"A Titled Douluo was actually bullying an eight-year-old child like me."

"Shameless!"

Lin Yan cursed furiously in his heart. You bastard, a Titled Douluo, are you? Sooner or later, I'll send you to the heavens to meet your Tang family ancestors!

The War King Douluo did not know what Lin Yan was thinking. Looking at Lin Yuhuan, he summoned over a boy who was obviously several years older than Lin Yan and said, "Our Clear Sky Sect also has a child who needs the Titan Giant Ape's Spirit Ring. The Titan Giant Ape's Spirit Ring is a perfect match for our Clear Sky Hammer martial soul. I cannot yield this Spirit Ring to you."

"You should give up instead. How could a little brat who is only a Great Soul Master possibly absorb a Millennium Titan Giant Ape's Spirit Ring? Do not throw your life away!"
