Chrysanthemum Douluo furrowed his brows, his gaze fixed on Mu Chen. Despite Mu Chen's young age, his combat prowess was such that even a level 95 Titled Douluo like himself couldn't underestimate him.
The Spirit Hall wasn't short of talents, but compared to the seven prodigies of the Spirit Hall Academy, Mu Chen was in a league of his own—a true monster. Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help but feel a sense of irony. Just a moment ago, he had mocked Mu Chen's arrogance. Now, he found himself having to go all out. His pride felt as if it had been slapped hard.
"Who are you?" Chrysanthemum Douluo asked.
"Mu Chen," Mu Chen replied.
"I meant, which sect or family do you belong to?" Chrysanthemum Douluo clarified.
"I'm alone, without a family or sect. What, are you trying to recruit me into the Spirit Hall?" Mu Chen asked, seemingly contemplating the offer.
"Would you accept my invitation to join the Spirit Hall?" Chrysanthemum Douluo asked earnestly.
"Can you guarantee that upon joining, I'd immediately become the Hall Master, with both the Pope Hall and the Elder Hall under my command?" Mu Chen retorted. He had no interest in becoming a puppet.
"I can't," Chrysanthemum Douluo admitted.
"Then why bother talking? I'm free as I am, why would I want to become someone's dog?" Mu Chen replied.
"Think carefully. To the Spirit Hall, there are only two kinds of people: allies and enemies," Chrysanthemum Douluo warned.
"Have you thought it through? Do you still want to fight me?" Mu Chen countered.
Uh!
Chrysanthemum Douluo was taken aback. In the world of soul masters, few dared speak to a Titled Douluo like this!
"It seems you've made up your mind. In that case, I can't allow you to exist in this world," Chrysanthemum Douluo said, his eyes narrowing as his soul power surged.
Under Chrysanthemum Douluo's command, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum appeared in his hand, surrounded by golden blossoms on the nearby trees.
Not good!
Dugu Bo felt a chill, using his remaining strength to shield Mu Chen, as if giving his final instructions, "Mu Chen, take Yan Yan and leave."
"What about you?" Mu Chen asked.
"I'll hold him off, you go first," Dugu Bo insisted.
"You intend to fight him to the death?" Mu Chen asked.
"Mu Chen, go quickly. If Ghost Douluo arrives, no one will escape," Dugu Bo urged.
"Don't worry, old poison, none of you will leave today," Chrysanthemum Douluo said, bringing the chrysanthemum to his nose for a deep sniff, then glaring at Mu Chen, "Boy, I'll give you one last chance. Will you join the Spirit Hall?"
"No," Mu Chen refused.
"Fine, then I'll send you on your way. Your talent is remarkable, but you should never have been so arrogant before reaching your full potential. In your next life, remember this lesson," Chrysanthemum Douluo said.
With that, Chrysanthemum Douluo waved his hand, and the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum unleashed a powerful soul attack, petals shooting out like a meteor shower towards Mu Chen.
**Sixth Soul Skill: Golden Stamen and Flowing Light**
*Pfft*
Dugu Bo attempted to mobilize his soul power, using his ninth skill to counter Chrysanthemum Douluo's sixth. However, his injuries flared, causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood.
"Grandfather!" Dugu Yan cried out in distress.
Facing the petal barrage, Dugu Yan found unexpected courage, standing in front of Dugu Bo.
"Yan Yan!"
Dugu Bo shouted in alarm, seeing the petals about to hit Dugu Yan. But suddenly, the energy around them surged, forming countless swords in front of him and Dugu Yan.
Looking up, Dugu Bo saw Mu Chen, his Chaos Eight Wings flapping, hovering above. Mu Chen's seventh soul ring glowed a brilliant red.
**Seventh Soul Skill: First Form - Myriad Sword Return**
*Boom! Boom! Boom!*
With a wave of Mu Chen's hand, the flying swords surrounding him shot out, clashing fiercely with Chrysanthemum Douluo's petals.
*Clang! Clang! Clang!*
The sound of metal clashing echoed as each petal met a sword, creating dazzling sparks. Tens of thousands of petals and swords collided, turning the sky into a sea of fire.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was stunned, Dugu Bo was shocked, and Dugu Yan stood petrified.
A twelve-year-old boy, at the level of a Soul Sage, had directly countered a level 95 Titled Douluo's soul skill.
*Huff*
Is this even human? This is a monster!
**Soul Power +66,666**
With the shock of the three, Mu Chen gained an additional 66,666 soul power points.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was both amazed and enraged. His attack had been blocked by a mere boy for the second time. His fury ignited, "Boy, let's see how long you can hold out!"
*Humm*
Even more soul power surged from Chrysanthemum Douluo. Controlled by his will, a greater number of petals shot out madly.
"Let the rain fall even harder!"
Mu Chen unleashed his soul power without reserve. More swords, under his command, clashed fiercely with Chrysanthemum Douluo's attack.
"Competing in soul power with me?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo smirked. The stalemate depended on whose soul power lasted longer.
"You think I'm that foolish?"
Mu Chen laughed mockingly, knowing the opponent's soul power far exceeded his. A quick resolution was in his favor. He turned to Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo, "Get out of here."
Realizing the situation, Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo moved away from the battle. Concerned for Mu Chen, they watched from the edge.
**Seventh Soul Skill: Second Form - Chaos True Form**
*Humm*
A subtle wave emanated from Mu Chen's Chaos Sword. At this moment, Mu Chen's aura and the Chaos Sword seemed unified. He was the sword, and the sword was him.
**Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul True Body**
Seeing Mu Chen use his martial soul true body, Chrysanthemum Douluo dared not be careless, activating his own martial soul true body. "Boy, meet your end!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's ninth soul ring glowed a dazzling black.
**Ninth Soul Skill: Chrysanthemum Remnants, Scattered Wounds, Petals Fall, Heartbreak**
*Boom*
A dull explosion sounded as Chrysanthemum Douluo's Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum burst, transforming into countless petals. These petals formed a massive tornado.
Under the tornado's force, trees within a 500-meter radius were uprooted, shredded to powder by the tornado's sharp petals.
