(Doulou Two) Zhongli Journey in Unrivaled Tang Sect

After a moment's effort, Xuanzi was only a hundred meters away from Zhongli before he stopped flying.

He glanced at Zhongli and Paimon beside him, and a look of strangeness flashed in his eyes.

Sure enough, as Huiqun had said, the soul ring on this little thing was truly white and golden!

"Hmph, such a cute martial soul must be a disguise to deceive the world!"

"Today, let this old man reveal your true colors!"

Paimon: "???"

What is this old man talking about?

What disguise, what true face?

What exactly is he going to do?

"Alright, you thief Zhongli, the old man has finally found you!"

Xuanzi looked at Zhongli with a vicious expression, the aura of a Super Douluo pressing down on Zhongli without restraint.

Evil? You'll know once you fight!

"Whatever your purpose, and no matter how innocent the people here are, are you sure you want to do this here?"

Zhongli's face darkened, and he spoke with clear displeasure.

This Xuanzi really doesn't seem to care about the consequences of his actions!

This is Shrek City, home to many inhabitants. The aftermath of a battle between powerful beings could easily affect them.

Yet, Xuanzi showed no concern...

"Don't threaten the old man with the lives of the people. The old man isn't swayed by such things!"

"If their deaths can rid the world of evil, then they die a worthy death!"

Xuanzi waved his hand and spoke bluntly.

Zhongli: "..."

Everyone: "..."

For some reason, everyone felt that this old man was the real evil!

Mu En and the others, who were observing this confrontation between the strong, turned grim at this moment.

What on earth is Xuanzi saying!

Shrek City is the foundation of Shrek Academy, and the higher-ups don't seem to care about the lives of the people at all...

This is going to break their hearts!

"The old man thinks Xuanzi is going to mess things up..."

Mu En slapped his forehead, feeling utterly numb.

He was truly numb!

Now, he didn't even dare to die!

If he died, who knows how much worse things would get with Xuanzi and the others in charge!

There's no turning back once the arrow is shot, and words once spoken cannot be taken back.

At this point, they could only test Zhongli first. As for the aftermath of the battle, they would deal with it later.

Mu En sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.

If only his body were strong enough to sustain a prolonged battle, he wouldn't have to send Xuanzi to test Zhongli!

Hearing this, Zhongli was slightly stunned and a little dazed.

What is this Xuanzi talking about?

What evil?

Without waiting for Zhongli to think further, Xuanzi's momentum reached its peak, and he shouted, "Thief Zhongli, use your first martial soul! Don't say that the old man is being unfair!"

Although this cute little thing has a white-gold soul ring, it is only a soul ring after all.

Xuanzi wanted to see what Zhongli's first martial soul was!

Even a clay figure has a bit of temper, let alone Zhongli.

"As you wish!"

Martial Spirit... Soul Ring...

Since you want to walk on the Douluo Continent, it's not impossible to take on the identity of a soul master.

A phantom figure slowly appeared behind Zhongli, a majestic figure with dragon horns on his head, holding an amber "Rubik's Cube," seated high on a throne.

"He" tilted his head slightly, his amber pupils gazing down at the beings below...

Xuanzi, Mu En, and the others: "0.o"

Wait, what the hell is this?!

Just looking at this figure, there was a chilling sensation, as if death could come at any moment, filling everyone with dread!

"It's over, Zhongli is angry!"

"Ning Tian, Wu Feng, let's run!"

Paimon grabbed Ning Tian and Wu Feng. With her combat power weaker than a wild boar, she couldn't drag the two of them while they were stunned.

"Don't just stand there, run! Lord Rex Lapis has gone mad!"

Hearing this, Ning Tian and Wu Feng snapped out of their daze.

"Oh, oh... Oh!"

Ning Tian and Wu Feng's faces were filled with horror.

They had always thought Zhongli was terrifying, but they never imagined he could be this terrifying.

Without wasting another moment, they hurriedly fled with Paimon.

Halfway through their escape, the two girls glanced at Paimon, confused.

Isn't she Zhongli's martial spirit?

Why is she running too?!

At this moment, something even more shocking happened.

Black...

Zhongli stepped forward, and a black "soul ring" slowly rose from beneath his feet.

Black...

A second black soul ring followed.

Black, Black, Red, Red, Red, Red, Gold!

With the appearance of four black, four red, one gold, and nine "soul rings," the entire world seemed to fall silent.

This soul ring configuration completely shattered the world's understanding of soul rings!

If the white-gold soul ring on Paimon needed further study to confirm its authenticity, then the soul rings on Zhongli's body left no room for doubt.

Pure gold, with no other color, such a soul ring could only be a god-level soul ring!

When the world saw this, their pupils contracted, and their entire bodies trembled.

This... He's not human, is he?

Xuanzi's mouth hung slightly open, and he stopped speaking.

"I'm clocking out... Is this even real?"

"Can I even win?"

Xuanzi swallowed hard, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

Zhongli before him, with his soul rings, was comparable to the Sea God after his ascension 10,000 years ago!

Four black, four red, and one gold, how could Xuanzi possibly defeat him with just his head?

"Now I'm joking... Will Zhongli even acknowledge it?"

In the distance, the three youngsters stared at the majestic figure in the sky, cold sweat dripping from their foreheads.

This... This is really the Zhongli they know!

Huo Yuhao glanced at Zhongli, then at Bei Bei and Tang Ya, a flicker of uncertainty crossing his eyes.

But the hesitation vanished quickly.

The path was his own choice, and Bei Bei and Tang Ya had treated him well.

Not only had they helped him hunt soul beasts, but they had also taught him the ways of the Tang Sect and brought him to Shrek Academy.

"If I had chosen Brother Zhongli back then..."

Even though he didn't regret his decision, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel a pang of loss in his heart.

Wu Yun, who was running errands in Shrek City, looked up at the sky, cold sweat also trickling down his forehead.

Thankfully, thankfully, he wasn't blind and had a broad perspective!

If he had offended someone like this in the Star Dou Great Forest, he, his granddaughter, and the young master might never have made it out alive!

"It's strange, why would Shrek Academy target him?"

Xuanzi—Wu Yun knew him well.

As a fellow Title Douluo, and one who was "close" to Shrek Academy, it was hard not to know him.

Since the Dragon God Douluo went into seclusion, the public face of Shrek Academy had been this Gluttonous Douluo.

"Today, I won't ask about your purpose, nor will I question your intentions."

"But such provocation and slander cannot go unpunished."

Zhongli's expression remained calm, his tone steady and composed.

With a wave of his hand, an amber spear materialized in his grasp.

The spear, crafted from amber, radiated a light brighter than the sun itself, outshining even the sun hanging in the sky.

Xuanzi swallowed hard. He could now be certain that Zhongli was no evil soul master.

But he would still have to pay for his earlier provocations!

Glancing at Zhongli and then at the soul rings adorning his body, Xuanzi gritted his teeth, his resolve hardening.

The higher the level, the less impact soul rings had on a soul master. At level ninety-eight, he might not necessarily lose to Zhongli!

"Hmph, war it is, then! Let's fight!"
