Douluo; Zhongli Adventures in Mortal World with Paimon

"Ninety-seventh level..."

Ghost Leopard and Demon Bear fell silent.

As elders of Spirit Hall, they understood the gap between an elder and a worshipper.

A level 96 Super Douluo could easily defeat two level 95 opponents.

Likewise, a level 97 Super Douluo could take on two level 96 opponents without much trouble.

After all, every level beyond 95 represented an immense difference in strength.

For a level 97 Super Douluo, dealing with small fries like them was as easy as lifting a finger.

Of course, that was under normal circumstances, without secret techniques, domains, powerful spirit bones, or divine weapons to provide significant boosts.

With an ultra-divine weapon in hand, fighting above one's level wasn't unheard of.

Wait a minute… Ghost is level 96 now?

Ghost Leopard and Demon Bear exchanged glances, visibly surprised.

They understood how difficult it was to cultivate to Title Douluo, yet Ghost had broken through without saying a word!

Shouldn't such a breakthrough be celebrated, and shouldn't Ghost be sent to the Worshipper Hall?

Reaching level 96 was the minimum requirement for entering the Worshipper Hall of Spirit Hall.

For most elders, being accepted into the Worshipper Hall was a great honor.

But what was Ghost doing?

Even after breaking through, he remained in the Pope's Palace, and even fellow elders like them hadn't known about his advancement!

"With a level 96 Super Douluo on our side, dealing with Tang Xiao is more manageable," Demon Bear murmured while glancing at Ghost Douluo and then at Tang Xiao.

Tang Hao wasn't the one appearing today, meaning he was truly gravely injured and incapable of facing multiple Title Douluo, forcing him to ask Tang Xiao for help.

Judging from Ghost Douluo's confident expression, he was eager to test his strength against Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao suddenly instructed Tang San, "Xiao San, don't ask anything. Just take them and run as far as possible."

Given the circumstances, it was clear that Ghost Douluo and the others wouldn't back down.

Upon hearing this, the four from Spirit Hall didn't stop them.

Instead, they focused their eyes on Tang Xiao.

With Tang Xiao's strength, if he had wanted to flee with Tang San, they wouldn't have been able to stop him.

But Tang Xiao wasn't running, he was choosing to fight.

That was why he told Tang San and the others to leave so they wouldn't be caught up in the battle's terrifying aftershocks.

Tang San dared not hesitate. He grabbed Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun and ran toward the side.

Staying here would be of no help. Instead, they would only become a burden.

"Tang Xiao, you will regret your decision today!" Ghost Douluo's hoarse voice rang out as he released his martial spirit.

His martial spirit was Ghost Douluo, which was both his physical form and his soul.

Ghost Douluo had died once before, but upon awakening his martial spirit, he underwent a mutation, becoming the special existence he was today.

Two yellow, two purple, and five black spirit rings rose swiftly beneath his feet.

His figure became more and more illusory.

All five Title Douluo released their martial spirits, their spirit rings shimmering with overwhelming pressure that shook the heavens and the earth.

Even from a great distance, the terrifying aura could be felt.

Their spirit rings were uniformly two yellow, two purple, and five black.

Just by looking at their spirit rings, it was evident that at least twenty-five ten-thousand-year spirit beasts had died by their hands.

A ten-thousand-year spirit beast might not actually need ten thousand years to mature, but how many years did a human live?

If ten new Title Douluo appeared every hundred years, at least forty to fifty ten-thousand-year spirit beasts would perish.

This was one of the reasons why high-level spirit beasts were so rare.

The bigger reason, however, was the brutal competition and devouring between spirit beasts themselves.

If left unchecked, the spirit master profession would eventually disappear from history.

The powerful surge of spirit energy caught the attention of others.

At Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Chen Xin and Gu Rong glanced at each other in shock.

Spirit fluctuations of this magnitude meant at least several Title Douluo were fighting!

And they weren't far from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"I'll go check it out," Gu Rong said first. In terms of spatial abilities, he was far more skilled than Chen Xin.

For mere reconnaissance, he was much better suited for the task.

Chen Xin expressionlessly nodded. In terms of concealing oneself, even though he was a level higher than Gu Rong, he wasn't as adept at stealth.

Once Gu Rong left, Ning Fengzhi was still confused.

"What's going on?"

"Dangerous fluctuations from several Title Douluo erupted just a few dozen miles away. Bone has gone to investigate whether this poses a threat to our sect. We should prepare for battle, just in case."

Logically, if the fluctuations were happening dozens of miles away, they shouldn't be targeting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

But they couldn't afford to be careless. What if they were?

"I see. I'll give the orders now," Ning Fengzhi responded, suddenly understanding.

The Body Sect was also nearby, and they had sensed the disturbance as well.

Two figures silently left the Body Sect and rushed toward the source of the spirit energy explosion.

Though the battle was only dozens of miles away, that wasn't actually very close.

However, for Title Douluo, reaching the battlefield would take only a short time.

Sure enough, before the battle had even begun, Gu Rong and the two from the Body Sect had already arrived.

Gu Rong hid his presence and observed from the shadows.

What he saw stunned him, he recognized almost everyone here!

Only Ghost Leopard and Demon Bear were a little unfamiliar.

Ghost Douluo, Yue Guan, and the current Clear Sky Sect Master Tang Xiao were all familiar faces.

Then Gu Rong noticed Tang San standing at the side and immediately understood what was happening.

The two Body Sect elders didn't hide their presence.

They openly appeared about a hundred meters away from the battlefield.

For a Title Douluo, that was practically within arm's reach.

Even Tang San and the others, who weren't Title Douluo, could see them with the naked eye.

Instead of Du Bafang, the ones who came were Zhang Hu and another elder, both of whom were at the bottom of the Title Douluo level.

One was level 92, the other was level 91.

Even so, their presence made everyone break out in cold sweat.

Damn it! It had only been a short time!

Aside from Zhongli, the strongest in their sect had only been at the Spirit Sage level.

Yet suddenly, so many Title Douluo had appeared!

If given a few more years, how terrifying would they become?

"So it's just Spirit Hall's esteemed elders killing people and stealing treasures. I thought it was some fools causing trouble near my sect. Please finish this battle quickly and don't disturb our peace. We're leaving now."

With that, Zhang Hu and the other elder turned and left without looking back.

Everyone: "…"

"Tang Xiao, you heard them. This time it was just some elders who came. Next time, it could be the Martial God himself. If not for you, we wouldn't be in this situation! We nearly disturbed the Martial God's peace!" Yue Guan said grimly.

Ghost Douluo and the others nodded in agreement.

Their hesitation to fight wasn't because of Tang Xiao but because they feared offending that one person.

Tang San: "So I'm just supposed to die, huh?"

Gu Rong's eyelid twitched slightly.

He hadn't expected the Body Sect elders to be so brazen.

They were the weakest ones present, yet they spoke the loudest.

And not a single person dared to refute them!
