The people around seemed to become more serious. This level of battle was extremely rare, especially since the two people present were both exceptionally strong, probably among the best of their Soul Master. In particular, Qian Renxue was able to gradually suppress the Level 97 Sword Douluo with her Level 95 Soul Power.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, it seems that after the initial probing, both sides have begun to exert their full strength.
As time went on, both sides used their Soul Skill continuously, even unleashing their Ninth Soul Skill.
But precisely because of this, Sword Douluo's situation has become even more difficult, especially since Qian Renxue possesses two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill, not to mention her top-tier Soul Bone.
In the end, Qian Renxue barely won by a narrow margin, while Sword Douluo exhausted his Soul Power and could only barely stay alive by relying on the Seven Kill Sword in his hand.
After the battle, Qian Renxue left the arena alone and returned to her room to rest and recuperate.
Sword Douluo also forced himself to leave the arena.
However, as soon as he returned to his room, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his face looked extremely pale.
After recuperating for a while, Sword Douluo slowly spoke, "I didn't expect Qian Renxue to be so powerful. She's two levels lower in Soul Power than me, yet she still managed to defeat me. It seems this woman has a bright future ahead of her."
Bone Douluo quickly spoke up, " Old Sword Man, you simply didn't understand Qian Renxue's Martial Soul enough this time. If it weren't for the suppression in your Martial Soul, you should have been able to defeat her."
Sword Douluo shook his head bitterly. "There's no chance anymore. I'm afraid I'll never be able to defeat her again. You know, Qian Renxue is not even thirty years old yet, and her Soul Power should still be able to increase rapidly, while my Soul Power has already reached its limit. I'm afraid I will never be able to break through to Level 98 in this lifetime."
Ning Fengzhi then spoke up, "I didn't expect Qian Renxue to be so outstanding, with such high talent. Given time, she might become the next Qian Daoliu Qian Daoliu, or even more powerful."
" Yang Podi has never wanted to confront the Spirit Hall Empire, probably because he doesn't want to offend Qian Renxue, this peerless genius, too much."
After saying this, Ning Fengzhi's face turned bitter. "I was too arrogant. Whether in the past or in the future, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has absolutely no capital, let alone the potential, to confront the Spirit Hall Empire."
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo quickly Ning Fengzhi: " Fengzhi, although Qian Renxue is strong and has outstanding potential, her talent is far inferior to that of Yang Podi. We are now members of the Heavenly Pursuit Academy, and there will be others to support us in everything."
Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but shake his head. "Yes, there will be others to support us. I'm increasingly convinced that it was the right thing for the Breaking Clan to leave Heaven Dou City. It was precisely because they left Heaven Dou City that they truly avoided the Spirit Hall Empire's two Soul Hunting Operation, giving themselves this rare opportunity to develop."
"It's a pity I was too arrogant back then. If I had made a decision earlier and followed Yang Podi's example to stay away from conflict, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wouldn't have fallen to this state today."
Bone Douluo quickly spoke up, " Fengzhi, you have done very well. It is because of you that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has reached its peak. Moreover, now that we have joined the Heavenly Pursuit Academy, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda will be passed down, at least it won't end up like the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
Ning Fengzhi finally sighed, "No matter what, I was wrong back then. I hope I haven't made the wrong choice this time."
After he finished speaking, the three of them fell silent.
Ning Fengzhi seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked, " Uncle Jian, do you think Yang Zhentian really reached Level 98?"
Sword Douluo nodded. "It shouldn't be much different. Although I haven't actually fought him, he's definitely stronger than me in terms of aura and strength, especially since the Soul Breaking Spear has all offensive Soul Ring. I'm afraid his true combat power is even greater."
" Uncle Jian, do you think it's possible for Yang Zhentian to break through to Level 99?"
"That's hard to say. Yang Zhentian is much younger than me, so he has more potential. However, his Martial Soul and aptitude are limitations, and he doesn't have Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. As far as I know, a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone are essential to break through to Level 99. You could even say that it would be a miracle if he could reach Level 98."
Ning Fengzhi a wry smile, "It seems that the Breaking Clan definitely has some great secret, or rather, some great opportunity, but none of this is relevant to us."
Meanwhile, in a small city to the west of the Heaven Dou Empire, there were also some Soul Master.
These people were all seriously injured, and they all looked extremely tired and disheveled. They were none other than Tai Tan's group.
Since the second Soul Hunting Operation, the Spirit Hall Empire's focus has been on eliminating the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, the Clear Sky Sect, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. However, it has also arranged for many Soul Douluo to attack the Strength Clan and the Speed Clan.
As affiliated families of the Clear Sky Sect, both clans suffered extremely heavy casualties.
Now, the two clans combined have only a little over a hundred Soul Master left. This is only because they survived the entire escape, thanks to the desperate resistance and rearguard action of many clan Soul Master.
At this point, Tai Tan was no longer the brave and powerful man he once was, nor did he possess the high spirits he had when he joined the Clear Sky Sect.
Among this group were a few special individuals: Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Flender, as well as several former members of the Shrek Academy, including Zhao Wuji and others.
This combat team posed no threat to the Shrek Academy members, as they were located within the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, an area overlooked by the Spirit Hall Empire's attack.
However, everyone looks disheveled now, not like Soul Master family, but even somewhat like refugees.
When everyone left Heaven Dou City, they were constantly thinking about how to avoid the attack of the Spirit Hall Empire.
Tai Tan couldn't help but recall the alliance of the Four Single-Attribute Clans back then. In just a few years, the difference in strength between the two sides had become vast, and his friends who were once as close as brothers were now strangers.
After discussing the matter, the group decided to flee to Vast Sea City as quickly as possible. It was one of the places that the Spirit Hall Empire found difficult to reach, and if all else failed, they would have no choice but to go out to sea to hide.
Moreover, the group's journey to Vast Sea City could also be seen as a way to provide backup for Tang San's escape from Sea God Island in the future.
They recently received news of the destruction of the Clear Sky Sect. The few remaining members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School have joined the Heavenly Pursuit Academy, meaning that the Heavenly Pursuit Academy has gained at least two Titled Douluo, and its strength has increased once again.
In particular, the news of the destruction of the royal families of the two great empires completely extinguished the last chance of the Clear Sky Sect.
Tai Tan, on the other hand, wore a bitter expression. He had insisted on breaking with the Clear Sky Sect for its sake, but this was the result.
Flender suddenly spoke up, "Given the current strength of the Spirit Hall Empire, conquering Vast Sea City is probably only a matter of time. What hope do we have for going to Vast Sea City this time?"
