Shen Luo: Your Noble Soul Power Is More Than I Can Accept!
There was one more thing Chrysanthemum Douluo had not dared to say.
He even felt that the ordinary attack the god had used today looked less powerful than the one he had used yesterday...
Was it an illusion? Or had the god simply given them a casual demonstration of an ordinary attack yesterday, with no intention of hurting Old Ghost at all?
And today, the Great Enshrined had deliberately provoked him and made the god unhappy, so this time the god had gotten serious!
Though both were ordinary attacks, there was a difference between being serious and not being serious, and the damage they dealt was worlds apart!
That had been a Soul Skill unleashed by a level 99 Peerless Douluo in his Martial Soul Avatar!
And the god had used nothing more than a five-star character's ordinary attack...
The upper limit of what that five-star character could become once developed was simply unimaginable.
In that flash of lightning and spark of flint, Ghost Douluo had already analyzed nearly everything that had just happened.
He fucking regretted bringing this group here today!
He did not know whether the god's anger would reach him, either.
Yan turned to look at his two friends behind him, his expression one of shock. "Did you... just... see that?"
Xie Yue and Hu Liena stared in horror, their mouths hanging open as they nodded dumbly.
"I... let me make sure. The one who just went flying was the Great Enshrined, not the Second Worship, right?"
"No shit. Didn't you see the Second Worship standing there like an idiot?"
Gulp. Xie Yue and his sister Hu Liena swallowed in unison, then looked at Shen Luo on the stage.
At that moment, the siblings' gazes grew fervent.
Xie Yue immediately grabbed Yan by the collar and demanded, "Yan, you said the god had lost his divine power, so the abilities he's using now are entirely those of that five-star character, right?"
Yan's eyes widened. "Would I lie to you? And what the god just used was an ordinary attack. It was insanely powerful!"
"Damn."
Xie Yue clenched his fist. If the atmosphere had not been so tense, he would have wanted to rush over and be the first to pay Shen Luo Soul Power.
Hu Liena frowned. "Spirit Hall really did the wrong thing this time. Why did they have to go and provoke a real god when there was no need?"
Yan said, "Wasn't it because His Holiness the Pope and the Great Enshrined wanted the god to lower his prices? Look what happened. Forget lowering them; he might even raise them in a moment!"
"What a headache!"
Just then, a voice suddenly came from the front of the crowd. "Yan!"
It was Bibi Dong calling him.
Yan was startled. Bibi Dong already knew the three of them had followed her here. He did not dare delay and immediately squeezed out of the crowd.
"I'm here!"
Bibi Dong's voice trembled slightly as she said, "Quick... go heal the Great Enshrined. Don't you have a really powerful healer character? It looks like the Great Enshrined's heart was pierced. Hurry!"
"Holy shit..."
Yan looked shocked and hurriedly sprinted toward Spirit Hall.
The god was truly a ruthless man of his word. He could not tolerate a single grain of sand in his eye, and when he said he would kill the Great Enshrined, he did it!
After Yan left, Bibi Dong and the worships looked at Shen Luo on the stage, their expressions completely changed.
Shen Luo asked Yue Guan, "Your Great Enshrined told you to watch closely just now. Did you get a good look?"
Yue Guan nodded timidly.
A trace of a contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of Shen Luo's mouth. "Then tell him later. Of course, that's if he's still alive to hear you."
Those words instantly unsettled all the worships. They could only hope that Yan would be able to heal the Great Enshrined.
They still remembered the heaven-defying healing ability of the girl with twin tails yesterday...
But come to think of it, it really was laughable. They had just provoked this god, yet now they had to rely on his power to save the Great Enshrined's life.
What a slap in the face.
"Please... please calm your anger, my lord."
Just then, Bibi Dong suddenly stepped forward and bowed to Shen Luo, looking somewhat nervous.
Her heart was racing, entirely out of fear and lingering dread.
Qian Daoliu was already so powerful, yet he had still been utterly unable to fight back against this man and had nearly died.
Bibi Dong could hardly imagine what it would have looked like if she had been the one to step forward just now.
Shen Luo said, "What if I can't calm my anger?"
Bibi Dong was instantly at a loss for words. She explained, somewhat anxiously:
"I only hope that you can understand us, my lord. Your appearance came without warning, and we were not mentally prepared at all. Whatever your purpose, we could only approach you with caution."
"And now, you have proven that your strength is unmatched. You can easily beat the strongest person on the continent of Douluo bloody. We believe you; you truly are a god."
Looking at the sincere expression on Bibi Dong's face, Shen Luo snorted coldly.
"Do you think I couldn't guess what you were thinking? Weren't you trying to put me in my place and pressure me into giving you five-star characters for free?"
Bibi Dong was stunned. He actually knew.
But she had not expected all that pressure to end up falling squarely on Spirit Hall instead.
They really had brought this upon themselves.
Bibi Dong was now filled with regret. She should have understood long ago that a starving camel was still bigger than a horse.
Even without his divine power, the god was still an existence they could not hope to surpass.
The Fifth Worship, Light Feather Douluo, could not help asking, "Then, my lord, may I ask if we can still draw cards here? We're willing to pay Soul Power. We won't ask for them for free."
Shen Luo glanced at him and said coolly, "Better not. Your noble Soul Power is more than I can accept."
At those words, the expressions of every elder and worship, Bibi Dong included, went stiff.
They were truly filled with regret now.
Seeing that several worships still wanted to speak, Bibi Dong shook her head and sighed. "Let's wait until the Great Enshrined gets here."
The onlookers found the sight immensely satisfying!
Who would have thought that Spirit Hall, usually so arrogant, would have a day when it was put in its place!
The god was mighty!
One young man even snorted aloud. "Ignore those people in power, my lord! What's so great about having lots of Soul Power? We have lots of people! Even if each of us contributes just one level of Soul Power, that's still more than they have!"
Shen Luo nodded. "Mm, let's continue."
Bibi Dong bit her red lip with her pearly teeth. If Shen Luo had not been here, her usual temper would surely have led her to convict that young man of a crime!
But with Shen Luo here, she did not dare lose her temper, lest his impression of her go from bad to worse.
Just then, someone suddenly said, "My lord, didn't you say yesterday that you'd teach us about Elemental Reactions? I already have four four-stars!"
Shen Luo froze. Good grief, he had been so caught up in drawing cards yesterday that he had forgotten.
He said, "How about this? Wait a moment. I'll write it down on paper for you to read."
With that, he walked behind the curtain.
Furina did not want to stay outside alone. She made a face at the people from Spirit Hall, then immediately followed Shen Luo.
"Damn it."
The Second Worship clenched his fists. Taking advantage of Shen Luo's absence, he said to the people around the stage, "You have one minute to leave. Otherwise, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"
