Douro Continent

Chapter 553 Six Pieces, Soul Bone, Angelic Divine Armor

Seeing his expression, Qian Renxue's previously composed and cold face instantly turned as cold as ice. But at this moment, she couldn't care less about blaming Serpent Spear Douluo and hurriedly said, "Quick, Uncle She, don't worry about me, go and mobilize all our people, seal off the palace, and capture Tang San and the others. We absolutely cannot let them escape with Emperor Xueye."

Serpent Spear Douluo hesitated and asked, "What about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

Qian Renxue resolutely said, "We can't worry about that now. As long as we capture Emperor Xueye, or confirm his death, we still have a chance. Xue Qinghe must inherit the throne, otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain."

Two other Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall are still inside the palace. If they lead a large number of Spirit Hall Soul Masters to encircle and annihilate them, Tang San and his group will have no chance of escaping the palace. However, the Serpent Spear Douluo didn't dare tell Qian Renxue that quite a bit of time had passed since she fell into a coma.

Serpent Spear Douluo nodded, leaving Qian Renxue behind, and leaped into the air, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Watching his departing figure, Qian Renxue suddenly collapsed to the ground as if all her strength had been drained, murmuring, "I hope it's not too late. Tang San, Tang San, are you really my nemesis? Even with victory so assured, you still caused me so much trouble."

After catching her breath for a while, Qian Renxue regained some color in her face. She glanced at the Porcupine Douluo beside her, whose body was stained with blood, and with great effort, she put on Xue Qinghe's mask again. She then slowly released the little angel soul power she had left, spreading it over herself and the Porcupine Douluo to help them heal.

Half an hour later, under the influence of the angelic soul power, Qian Renxue's injuries had recovered to more than 50%, and the Porcupine Douluo had also regained consciousness. Just as she was eager to take control of the situation in the palace, the Serpent Spear Douluo returned.

"Uncle She, how is it?" Qian Renxue asked impatiently.

She Long said with a livid face, "Tang San and the others have already escaped and taken Emperor Xue Ye with them. However, we still control the situation in the palace. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has not discovered our movements and is still trapped in the sect, unable to take the opportunity to come out."

Qian Renxue stumbled, her eyes dimming instantly. "It's over, it's all over now. One defeat, and the whole game is lost."

Serpent Spear Douluo She Long couldn't help but say, "Young Master, the palace is still under our control. Moreover, Xue Ye's poisoning is severe, and he's undoubtedly dead. As long as we announce to the public that the Emperor is dead and successfully ascend the throne, it won't be too late to deal with those people later!"

Qian Renxue smiled bitterly, "You underestimate Tang San. How could he give me such an opportunity? Tang San and Dugu Bo are both skilled in using poison, especially Dugu Bo, a Title Douluo. He has saved Xue Ye's life several times before. If they find that Xue Ye's poison is truly incurable, they can easily have him temporarily regain consciousness to take charge. But now they've taken Xue Ye away, which proves that they're not confident they can cure her. Don't forget, there are over a thousand students at Shrek Academy and more than two thousand Soul Masters belonging to the royal family. With these three thousand people combined, and Xue Ye herself present, what do you think the palace guards and those royal Soul Masters will do when they return to the palace? They'll immediately turn against us. Although we from the Spirit Hall have sent many people, we absolutely cannot contend with them within Heaven Dou City. Perhaps we'll both suffer heavy losses, but in the end, we'll be the ones who are completely annihilated."

She Long gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master, let a few of us old guys give it a try. Not counting Ci Xue, we still have three Title Douluo-level experts. As long as we assassinate Xue Ye, we can get a grasp of the situation here."

Qian Renxue silently shook her head. "Uncle She, it's too late. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem. But now that Tang San and the others have rescued Xue Ye, how do you think they'll protect her? Issue my order: mobilize all personnel from the Spirit Hall, as well as the two thousand soul masters belonging to the royal family within the palace. Attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School tonight. Use the two thousand royal soul masters as cannon fodder. Even if we fail this time, we must completely destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Otherwise, raising a tiger will only bring us great trouble in the future."

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, She Long was horrified to discover that she was actually going to abandon her years-long plan. "Young Master, you've been infiltrating the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace for so many years, are you... are we just going to give up like this?"

Qian Renxue took a deep breath. Twenty years of infiltration! Although she had maintained her appearance well, her actual age was similar to Xue Qinghe's. She had spent the best ten years of her life in hiding, using special transformation techniques every day to alter her physical form and appear as a man. How could she accept defeat like this? However, although Qian Renxue was a woman, she possessed the mind of a ruthless leader; she clearly understood the current situation. Although she was unwilling to admit it, this time she had lost. Lost to Tang San.

"Make a decisive move when necessary, or you'll only make things worse. Uncle She, pass on my orders. After defeating the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, we must leave Heaven Dou City immediately. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Gritting her teeth, Qian Renxue gazed in the direction of Shrek Academy, breathing heavily in the not-so-pure air, her mind filled with the handsome face of the man she considered her lifelong rival.

Once outside the palace, Tang San suddenly realized something and asked Flander behind him, "Dean Flander, how many Soul Masters are guarding outside the academy? Are they from the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family? Or from the Spirit Hall?"

Flander said, "They shouldn't be from the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family. We specifically had the royal family's Soul Masters training at the academy identify them. They're not their people. There are probably around a thousand of them."

Tang San's pupils contracted slightly. "Qian Renxue really didn't lie to me. Elder Yang Wudi, please take that old monster back to our Tang Sect and immediately heal Emperor Xueye. Dean Flander, please return to the academy with your teacher and Teacher Erlong. Deploy a group of advanced Soul Masters. Our Tang Sect members will arrive at the academy later; we'll attack from both inside and outside and crush that Soul Master team."

Actually, Yang Wudi alone could have easily brought Emperor Xueye back to the Tang Sect. But Emperor Xueye was far too important. With Dugu Bo by their side, the two could look after each other, and as long as they didn't encounter more than two Title Douluos, there wouldn't be any problems.

Flander frowned slightly and said, "Third Brother, isn't this too risky? The students at the academy aren't very strong, and even including the Four Elements Academy, there are only about fifty teachers."

Tang San said, "Qian Renxue mentioned before that the Spirit Hall has infiltrated with a total of three thousand spirit masters. Two thousand of them, along with the royal family's two thousand spirit masters, are controlling the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Besides the two Title Douluos they brought who fought us, the other two are also there. This means that none of the thousand spirit masters outside our academy are Title Douluo level. This is an excellent opportunity for us. Our Tang Sect also has about a thousand spirit masters, mainly from the four major clans. While each of the four clans has its weaknesses, they complement each other perfectly. Furthermore, we have three clan leaders at the Spirit Douluo level. Our strength is definitely not weaker than our opponents. The academy's teachers are all powerful, and with your combined strength, which is comparable to Title Douluo level, defeating our opponents will be no problem."

Flander said, "Then why not bring Emperor Xueye along? With him there, we should be able to mobilize those royal soul masters."

Before Tang San could speak, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang refuted Flander's words, saying, "That's impossible. Seeing us with the poisoned Emperor Xue Ye would probably backfire."

Tang San hesitated for a long time before sighing, "Fine. Let them go. We'll go to the academy together and drive away those Soul Masters. I have to consider the casualties among the Tang Sect disciples. It's a pity our hidden weapons aren't fully developed yet."

Upon hearing his words, everyone nodded in agreement, with Yang Wudi being an exception, but there was something different about the way he looked at Tang San.

However, some things seemed to be ordained by fate. When they arrived near Shrek Academy, it had already become a battlefield. To everyone's surprise, the total number of Soul Masters involved in the battle exceeded three thousand. And among them, there were not a single Soul Master from Shrek Academy.

Dazzling beams of light crisscrossed the sky. One side of the Soul Masters had been completely routed, with only a few hundred remaining. They were still caught in the middle by two groups of Soul Masters totaling more than two thousand, and it seemed that they were about to be wiped out.

The remaining few hundred Soul Masters in the center belonged to the Spirit Hall, and among the two groups of Soul Masters constantly devouring them, at the far left were two extremely tall Soul Masters. Both had eight shining Soul Rings on their bodies, advancing like bulldozers.

The Soul Master on the left made no attempt to defend himself, allowing the opponent's attacks to rain down on him, while the strong Soul Master standing beside him unleashed wave after wave of powerful attacks. Of the hundreds of Soul Masters caught in the crossfire, only five or six Soul Saints managed to hold them off.

However, the attacks from the Soul Masters on this side remained sharp. They formed a near-perfect formation, four people per group. One swift figure disrupted the enemy, while the other three were divided into one defensive and two offensive roles. Their formidable strength, combined with the sharp Soul-Piercing Spear, forced their opponents to retreat continuously, leaving behind corpses. It was extremely difficult for the opponents to harm them, because the defensive Soul Master in the four-person group possessed incredibly strong defensive capabilities. As long as the level difference was no more than ten levels, no Soul Skill could harm them.

These relentlessly attacking Soul Masters were from the Tang Sect, originally belonging to one of the four major clans. They had received a message from Bai He and were retreating in this direction. They immediately encountered the thousand Soul Masters from the Spirit Hall. Just as they were considering whether to attack, nearly two thousand Soul Masters suddenly appeared on the other side. When Titan saw the Soul Skills unleashed by the opposing Soul Masters, he immediately ordered a full-scale attack without hesitation. Because among the other group of Soul Masters attacking alongside them, the dazzling light emanating from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the number one support Soul in the world.

Although he didn't understand why so many Soul Masters from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were here, Tang San naturally wouldn't let the opportunity slip by, and he didn't even need to be told. Grandmaster, Flander, and Liu Erlong had already rushed out, while Yang Wudi returned directly to the Tang Sect's camp to lead his own clan of the Breaking Ones. Only Dugu Bo remained to protect Tang San and the barely clinging Xue Ye Emperor.

The evolved version of Sanpao reappeared, and with as many as twenty spirit rings attached, he used only one skill he had never used before, which completely shattered the last line of defense of the remaining spirit masters of the Spirit Hall.

Golden, diamond-shaped scales shimmered dazzlingly in the sunlight. Luo Sanpao suddenly opened its massive jaws, greedily and frantically devouring air like a whale sucking in water. Its lower abdomen swelled violently with the influx of air, instantly expanding to a gigantic sphere, much like the Porcupine Douluo when unleashing its Martial Soul True Form. If the Porcupine Douluo were here, it would be nothing compared to Luo Sanpao.

Its swollen, round body didn't look clumsy at all; it spun around in the air and aimed its fat rear end at the remaining Soul Masters of the Spirit Hall.

boom--

Tang San stared in disbelief as a thick cloud of golden mist suddenly erupted from behind Luo Sanpao. The thunderous vibrations caused all Soul Masters below the Soul Douluo level within a 300-meter radius of his body to momentarily freeze in place. Wherever the golden mist reached, the Soul Masters of the Spirit Hall fell like wheat being harvested.

"This is truly a fart as loud as thunder, a thunderous roar like Luo Sanpao!" Tang San still vividly remembered the incantation the Grandmaster had uttered. Only in his Golden Sacred Dragon form did Luo Sanpao truly unleash the terrifying power of his fart technique.

The ensuing battle was a foregone conclusion; the entire thousand Soul Masters of the Spirit Hall were wiped out. Perhaps due to the accumulated hatred within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, less than 30% of the Spirit Hall's thousand Soul Masters survived the battle. All were captured. The remaining Soul Masters were lifeless. They had finally avenged a portion of the massacre the Spirit Hall had inflicted on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

After the battle ended, the four elders and hall masters of the Tang Sect came to Tang San's side and bowed slightly, "Sect Master." Whether it was Yang Wudi, who joined the battle last, or the other three elders, their faces were filled with undisguised excitement.

How many years has it been? Ever since the Clear Sky Sect declared its seclusion, the four clans alone have suffered immense oppression in the Soul Master world, including the Clear Sky Sect's retreat into seclusion. All of this stemmed from the Spirit Hall. Today's great battle, annihilating their opponents, has finally allowed them to hold their heads high.

Tang San smiled and said, "The four elders have worked hard. What were our losses?"

Titan laughed and said, "The losses are minimal. Most are injuries, but none are serious. In fact, we got lucky. When we arrived, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School people were already fighting with those Spirit Hall guys. We can guess what happened without even asking. They were the main attackers, and we were just holding off the Spirit Hall people to prevent them from escaping. Plus, Old Rhino and the other disciples of the Imperial Hall are all as tough as city walls, blocking our way. Unless we suffer a major defeat, our losses won't be too great."

Just as he said, among the four hall disciples, the Min Hall played a harassing role, the Yu Hall Master defended, and the Li Hall and Yao Hall Masters attacked—a near-perfect coordination. Furthermore, the four hall masters were all seasoned veterans, and with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, who hated the Spirit Hall even more than they did, fighting desperately, their orders naturally prioritized self-preservation before seeking to inflict damage on the enemy. Consequently, their losses were much smaller.

Bai He said with some shame, "Please punish us, Sect Master. We failed to detect the Spirit Hall's operation beforehand. We have neglected our duty."

Tang San smiled and shook his head, saying, "Uncle, how can you blame your Min Hall for this? You've only been in Heaven Dou City for a short time. If I'm not mistaken, the three thousand spirit masters that the Spirit Hall infiltrated the city this time all entered through secret channels, and they should have arrived before you came to Heaven Dou City."

Bai He nodded and said, "The same mistake will never happen again." His words were full of determination.

At this moment, five more people walked towards them from the other side. Leading them was Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Behind him on either side were Bone Douluo Gu Rong and Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who only had one arm remaining and whose strength was diminished. Behind them were Oscar and Ning Rongrong.

In this battle, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School did not suffer significant losses. With Ning Fengzhi and two Title Douluo-level powerhouses in charge, how could the leaderless Soul Masters of the Spirit Hall possibly contend with this once second-best sect in the world? This was a complete victory.

"Uncle Ning." Tang San's physical condition had recovered somewhat, and he hurriedly stepped forward to greet Ning Fengzhi with a slight bow.

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and said, "Sect Leader Tang, thank you for your sect's assistance, which allowed us to easily annihilate the enemy." Although it was just a simple sentence, he undoubtedly placed the Tang Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School on an equal footing. By doing so, he not only expressed his own attitude but also told the four elders beside Tang San that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Tang Sect had only a cooperative relationship, and certainly not a relationship of domination or control.

Ning Rongrong had already pulled Oscar to the front, giggling, "Third Brother, didn't expect that, did you?"

Tang San smiled and said, "I really didn't expect this. According to Qian Renxue, who was disguised as Xue Qinghe, you were surrounded by two thousand Spirit Hall Soul Masters and two thousand royal Soul Masters within the sect of the palace. How could this be..."

Ning Fengzhi sighed and said, "Having learned our lesson last time, how could we not act cautiously? As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. After establishing our sect in the palace, we secretly built a secret passage. Only His Majesty knows about this. When we discovered we were trapped, we only left a small number of disciples to attract their attention, and immediately sneaked out through the tunnel, intending to reunite with Shrek Academy. We happened to run into the Spirit Hall people gathered here, and that's when the fight broke out."

The destruction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the heavy casualties among its disciples were the greatest shame of Ning Fengzhi's life. How could someone as wise as him allow such a tragedy to repeat itself?

"Sect Leader Tang, you just mentioned Qian Renxue who transformed into Xue Qinghe? What exactly is going on? I can guess that this matter is related to Xue Qinghe, but I don't know the specifics."

Tang San recounted in detail how he, Dugu Bo, and Yang Wudi entered the palace to detoxify Emperor Xue Ye, only to be ambushed by Qian Renxue and two Title Douluos.

Hearing his words, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but look surprised. "Xue Qinghe was actually an imposter? No wonder he was able to attack Emperor Xue Ye. And she's even a woman. This Qian Renxue is really good at hiding her true identity. I've been her teacher for many years, and I didn't even see through her. The Spirit Hall really went to great lengths."

Tang San said, "Uncle Ning, let's go back to the academy first. Detoxifying Emperor Xue Ye is the most important thing. Once His Majesty is cured, we can mobilize the two thousand royal soul masters in the academy, along with the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and our Tang Sect, which will be enough to defeat the Spirit Hall's invading enemy. Stabilizing the situation is the most important thing."

Ning Fengzhi nodded in agreement. Not daring to waste any time, the group immediately led the numerous Soul Masters and the captured Spirit Hall Soul Masters back to Shrek Academy.

Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi worked together to detoxify Emperor Xue Ye, while Ning Fengzhi discussed a counterattack with Flander and Grandmaster. Tang San found a quiet room to cultivate and recover. At this point, over six thousand Soul Masters had gathered at Shrek Academy, including all students from both academies. However, they couldn't act yet. A rash attack on the palace would be tantamount to clashing with the Heaven Dou Empire's army, only making the situation more chaotic. As long as Emperor Xue Ye survived, everything would be fine once the poison was neutralized. Therefore, everyone could only wait anxiously.

During this waiting period, Tang San fully demonstrated his extraordinary recovery ability. His injuries had already healed thanks to the regenerative power of his Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone upon his return; all that remained was the recovery of his soul power. After two hours of cultivation, his soul power had fully recovered. He was only slightly mentally fatigued. In terms of recovery ability, even Qian Renxue, who possessed the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, could not compare to him.

"Is it not done yet?" Tang San arrived outside the room where Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi were treating Emperor Xue Ye's poison. At this moment, all the important figures were gathered here.

With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Master Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, Sword Douluo, the four elders and hall masters of the Tang Sect, and the Golden Iron Triangle guarding this place, even if Pope Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall came in person, assassinating Emperor Xue Ye would be an impossible task.

Ning Fengzhi patted Tang San on the shoulder, "Let's wait a little longer. No bad news is good news. I believe His Majesty will be able to turn the tide. As long as His Majesty is alright, this battle with the Spirit Hall will be a great victory for us. We've also removed the cancer of Qian Renxue. However, the struggle between the Empire and the Spirit Hall will gradually come to the forefront. The competition will become even more brutal in the future. What do you think of Qian Renxue's abilities in all aspects?"

Tang San replied without hesitation, "Very strong, extremely strong. She was able to endure for at least a decade within the Heaven Dou Empire's palace. That's incredible patience, like a giant serpent waiting weeks motionless to hunt its prey. And once it strikes, it's with devastating force. The Spirit Hall's actions this time were completely unexpected. Frankly, our ability to save His Majesty was largely due to luck. Moreover, this woman is extremely decisive and possesses formidable strength. If it weren't for the 100,000-year spirit ring Xiao Wu gave me, I would have been the one defeated. Her Six-Winged Angel spirit is terrifying."

Ning Fengzhi looked at Tang San with some surprise, "A six-winged angel martial soul?"

Tang San nodded and said, "It's an extremely powerful martial soul. Because it appears so rarely, even your teacher hasn't studied it in depth. Moreover, Qian Renxue's martial soul is also accompanied by an extremely powerful talent domain called the Angel Domain. Its purification ability can purify the opponent's soul power in battle, restricting the opponent and amplifying oneself, making it impossible to defend against. However, I didn't see her use any soul bone skills during my battle with her. If the Six-Winged Angel martial soul alone makes her this strong, then unless I can cultivate my twin martial souls to a certain level in the future, I will definitely not be her match. On the surface, her soul power level is a level higher than mine, reaching the Soul Saint realm, but in reality, I possess four soul bones, two of which are 100,000-year soul bones. Under these circumstances, I barely managed to defeat her, which shows how powerful her martial soul is."

Ning Fengzhi's expression turned serious. "The previous Pope's martial soul was also a six-winged angel, and Qian Renxue inherited his martial soul. However, when I was teaching her, her martial soul was the swan martial soul of the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family, and she only had five spirit rings. Even I couldn't see any flaws. What's going on? Could she also have twin martial souls?"

"It's a disguise," the master beside her spoke up. "No soul master with twin martial souls would be willing to waste their future potential like that. Angel martial souls and swan martial souls are somewhat similar, only differing in the number of wings. Qian Renxue was able to disguise herself as Xue Qinghe, clearly indicating she had prepared in advance. Xiao San, you're wrong to say she doesn't have a soul bone. I believe she has at least one soul bone, and it's definitely close to the 100,000-year level. And this soul bone grants her the disguise skill. Double disguise: one is disguising changes in her body and voice, and the other is disguising her martial soul. But you said she also wore a mask, which proves that the additional effect of this soul bone hasn't reached the level of a 100,000-year soul bone. Otherwise, she wouldn't even need to wear a mask; she could completely manipulate the changes in her body at will through the disguise skill."

Ning Fengzhi exclaimed in surprise, "Such a skill? Wouldn't someone like that be terrifying if they became an assassin?"

The master nodded solemnly. "This Qian Renxue is indeed terrifying. Sect Master Ning, does the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have any information on her? She is the daughter of the previous Pope, so there should be some records of her, right?"

Ning Fengzhi thought for a moment and said, "There seems to be only one record of the previous Pope's descendants: she had a daughter who died young. Judging from the timeline, Qian Renxue should be around twenty-nine years old. This means the real Crown Prince has already been murdered, and she has been infiltrating his place for at least ten years. For her to have a soul power level of over seventy at the age of twenty-nine is truly exceptional, perhaps even comparable to Xiao San and the others. Master, I still don't understand, how come I've never heard of a soul bone with a disguise soul skill before?"

The master's face stiffened even more. "I only know a little bit, it was Bibi Dong who told me. She mentioned something superficial, saying that in the Spirit Hall, there are six soul bones that have been passed down for thousands of years. Only soul masters with the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul can use these six soul bones. Each soul bone is 99,999 years old, just short of the 100,000-year level. Unless someone can use all six soul bones at the same time, they can only activate them to the 100,000-year level simultaneously, thus becoming a god-like existence. These six soul bones are called the Angelic Divine Armor."

The master hadn't even told Tang San about this, and Tang San asked in surprise, "Teacher, is there any difficulty in using these six soul bones?"

The master nodded and said, "Using these six soul bones requires extremely high skill from the soul master. Not only must one possess a six-winged angel martial soul, but one must also have exceptionally strong talent to gain their approval. Based on my judgment, the reason the previous pope died at your father's hands was due to his own weakness. Although he also possessed a six-winged angel martial soul, when facing your father, he was at most at the level of a titled Douluo, or even just a Soul Douluo. The angelic domain you mentioned was also countered by your father's killing god domain. That's why he was killed in one fell swoop. Moreover, I'm certain that the previous pope possessed no more than three angelic divine armor pieces, and it's very likely that he only had one or two. It seems that in terms of talent and acquired comprehension, this Qian Renxue is much stronger than the previous pope. I'm certain that when these six soul bones are used simultaneously, they will form the kind of soul bone armor that appeared on you last time. And the amplification effect will be terrifying to an unimaginable degree. It can indeed be called a god-like existence."

Tang San said, "Qian Renxue has exceptional talent and her comprehension is undoubtedly excellent. If she possesses these six soul bones and assists Bibi Dong, wouldn't we be..."

The master shook his head. "It's not so easy to obtain the Angelic Armor. It is said that a necessary condition for absorbing the last piece of soul bone is having a soul power level of 100."

Ning Fengzhi exclaimed in surprise, "A hundred levels of soul power? That's indeed a demanding requirement. In the history of our soul masters, it seems that only legends have mentioned such existences. Reaching a soul power level of ninety or above, even gaining just one more level is extremely difficult. Especially after reaching level ninety-five, it becomes even more fraught with difficulties. I wonder what it's like to break through to level one hundred at level ninety-nine."

"I know." The deep, resonant voice drew everyone's attention with these three words. The speaker was none other than Chen Xin, the one-armed Sword Douluo.

Upon seeing the Sword Douluo again, Tang San felt a strange sensation. Chen Xin seemed even more silent than before, as if he had vanished into the formless dust. Yet, the more silent he was, the more peculiar the feeling he evoked in Tang San. Although he appeared to have lost his right arm, the most crucial for wielding a sword, Tang San felt no sign that his strength had diminished.

When Tang San first encountered the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang told him that this Sword Douluo was the most terrifying member of the school. Even without the enhancement from Sect Master Ning Fengzhi, his strength was terrifying; he was the number one offensive Soul Master in the world. His unique Martial Soul, the Judgment Sword, was one of the few weapon-type Martial Souls comparable to the Clear Sky Hammer. Furthermore, his Soul Power reached level ninety-six.

It can be said that if it weren't for Sword Douluo Chen Xin's outburst during the last attack on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and his combined efforts with Bone Douluo, amplified by Ning Fengzhi, to defeat four Title Douluos, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would have ended up like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Although Ning Fengzhi's amplification could reach a terrifying 100%, this was merely a numerical calculation. In reality, even a single Title Douluo amplified to his full strength would struggle to compete with two Title Douluos of equal power. The opponents could easily choose to engage in hit-and-run tactics or attack Ning Fengzhi to weaken their connection. Yet, even so, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo still defeated four Title Douluo-level experts, proving that they were significantly stronger than the four Title Douluos sent by the Spirit Hall.

At this moment, when Chen Xin uttered the words "I know," no one would doubt him, because he was the only one among all the powerful individuals present whose soul power exceeded level ninety-five.
