"Zhongli, Spirit: Rock Dragon, Level 98 Attack-Type Titled Douluo, Title: Martial God."
As Zhongli finished speaking, Paimon's mouth twitched slightly.
There was a lot of falsehood in that statement!
Rock Dragon Martial Spirit?
Zhongli had no such Martial Spirit—just a fake appearance!
And a Level 98 Attack-Type Titled Douluo...
That was even more absurd!
Hearing these words, everyone was stunned, then couldn't help but gasp.
Level 98?
Goodness, Level 98?
"Hiss..."
The warming of the Extreme North definitely had something to do with these people.
"He... he's actually at Level 98..."
Tang Hao and Gu Rong were dumbfounded. In their estimation, Zhongli should only be at Level 97.
Never in their wildest dreams did they expect that the other party had terrifying strength at Level 98.
It must be known that the difference between each level among Titled Douluo is enormous.
Especially after Level 95, the gap is even more terrifying!
Tang Hao felt a bit numb. Thankfully, when he was at the gates of Heaven Dou City, he chose to back down.
Otherwise, to go against this person, even with his ring exploding, he wouldn't have been confident!
Knowing the "truth," Dugu Bo's mouth twitched. He didn't believe for a second that Zhongli was only at Level 98!
A Level 98 existence could destroy the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but to make such a being move it? That was basically impossible!
Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan were all wide-eyed, their jaws nearly dropping to the ground.
The Martial God Douluo they had been chatting so amiably with earlier turned out to be a terrifying Level 98 existence?
Martial God, Martial God Douluo!
Daring to take on such a title, and he claimed to only know a bit of martial arts.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red.
Nine illusory spirit rings slowly rose from under Zhongli's feet, and with each one, Yue Guan couldn't help but shudder.
Looking at Zhongli now, with dragon horns on his head and eyes as brilliant as the sun, he was clearly not someone to be trifled with...
Yue Guan's heart trembled, and so did his body.
Judging from the aura Zhongli exuded, he even wondered if the Second Worshipper would be a match for Zhongli.
The color of the Second Worshipper's spirit rings might be identical to Zhongli's, but in terms of aura, Zhongli was clearly stronger.
"Her Holiness, you've really put Yue Guan in a tough spot!"
Yue Guan thought, trembling all over.
Bibi Dong had sent him to test a Level 98 Super Douluo who possessed a 100,000-year spirit ring—wasn't this the same as sending him to his death?
There was absolutely no difference!
"Elder Chrysanthemum, please enlighten me!"
Zhongli extended his right hand, covered in "runes," and said calmly.
This was the rule of sparring: introducing oneself and saying "please enlighten me" was a sign of respect to the opponent.
But to Yue Guan, was this really a request for enlightenment?
This was just asking him to go up and get beaten!
The arrow was already on the string and had to be released.
Yue Guan could only grit his teeth and try to steady his trembling body.
"Martial God Douluo, I don't dare to presume to enlighten you. I only hope you can guide me a bit."
Upon learning Zhongli's title, the form of address changed from "Guest Official Zhongli" to the title of respect.
Yue Guan's words were extremely humble.
He had no choice. Even if he and Ghost Douluo teamed up, they wouldn't be a match for Zhongli.
Don't be fooled by the fact that they were all Titled Douluo; the gap between Level 95 and Level 98 was greater than the gap from Soul Saint to Level 95!
A terrifying Level 98 existence could easily defeat four or five Level 95 Titled Douluo without any problem.
Seeing Yue Guan behave so humbly, none of the Titled Douluo present, nor any of the spies, dared to mock him.
Facing such a powerful existence, at least Yue Guan had the courage to fight, which they might not have had.
"As expected of Martial God Douluo, almost reaching the pinnacle of Douluo!"
The divine realm was something many people did not understand.
However, people still had a concept of a Level 99 Titled Douluo. To say that a Level 99 Titled Douluo was a god among humans wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Zhongli was about to reach this realm!
"Maybe we should just forget about Ah Yin's spirit bone?" Tang Hao thought to himself.
Tang San was a twin spirit user, and so was Zhongli.
Tang San had yet to grow, currently only at the Soul Elder level.
Zhongli, on the other hand, had already matured, currently at Level 98!
By the time Tang San breaks through to Titled Douluo, Zhongli might have already reached Level 99.
How were they supposed to "reclaim" that 100,000-year spirit bone?
Even with the help of the Exploding Rings Tang Hao and Tang San together might not be a match for Zhongli before Tang San reaches Level 99.
That's why Tang Hao had this thought in the first place.
He had faced the terror of a Level 99 existence before.
"Xue Qinghe," however, was not too surprised. After Zhongli had saved her, she felt that Zhongli was definitely beyond Level 97!
One must know that the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python were both 100,000-year spirit beasts!
And not just any 100,000-year spirit beasts, but some of the most terrifying ones.
Yet Zhongli could kill them in seconds!
With such power, even her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, might not be able to achieve the same.
"Xue Qinghe" suspected that even if Zhongli hadn't yet become a god, he was already far along the path to godhood.
Otherwise, how could he have suppressed so many deities with a single strike?
"I only know a little martial arts, not enough to guide you. Go ahead," Zhongli said calmly, showing a bit of "impatience," which made Yue Guan nervous—was Zhongli that eager to beat him up?
Gritting his teeth, Yue Guan realized that sooner or later, he would have to take a beating anyway.
"Fine!"
"Then, here I come!"
Yue Guan's expression grew serious as his first ten-thousand-year spirit ring, which was also his fifth spirit ring, began to glow.
"Fifth Spirit Skill: Gathering of Cold Petals!"
Under the amplification of his spirit skill, the petals of the Chrysanthemum Douluo's Martial Spirit, the Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, scattered around Yue Guan like sharp daggers.
They emitted cold air and a chilling light, their mere presence terrifying the many spies watching.
An attack like this—there was no way they could survive it.
How would Martial God Douluo handle it?
As Yue Guan controlled these "daggers," Zhongli's expression didn't change. His first "spirit ring" began to glow.
"First Spirit Skill: All-Encompassing Absorption!"
He clasped a ball of amber energy between his hands, which exploded in front of him, forming two chain-like structures that sealed off the space around him.
Then, an energy barrier appeared around him...
"He's only using his first spirit skill. Can Martial God Douluo really block Chrysanthemum Douluo's fifth spirit skill?"
"It's hard to say. The difference in spirit power might compensate for the difference in skill strength..."
"Do you have some misunderstanding about Level 98?"
Although Zhongli only used his first spirit skill, Yue Guan didn't dare to be careless.
He controlled his fifth spirit skill and directed it toward Zhongli.
The petals, transformed into daggers, gleamed with a golden radiance, giving Yue Guan's attack a sense of beauty.
As these "daggers" approached...
