The figure twirled the Coiling Dragon Staff with one hand, then placed his other hand on it, striking a pose that Wang Nan found very familiar.
When Wang Nan practiced with a rod under his father's guidance as a child, he spent a lot of time perfecting this very move.
Wang Nan jumped onto the arena, gripping his Coiling Dragon Staff. He lowered his center of gravity, assuming the exact same posture as his opponent.
The next instant, the two rods clashed. Wang Nan could feel that, while the force behind this strike was not weak, the cultivation of this figure seemed to be only at the Spirit Emperor level.
After the first strike, the figure's Coiling Dragon Staff arced through the air, and a second strike immediately followed. At the same time, the rod glowed brightly, and a powerful force could be felt even before it landed.
Wang Nan raised his rod to block, but was pushed back two steps by the figure.
Seeing the Coiling Dragon Staff in the figure's hand suddenly enlarge, its red tip smashing down toward him, Wang Nan immediately realized that this figure should also be able to use Spirit Abilities like a Spirit Master. The sudden increase in power just now was likely due to this.
It was just that the figure didn't have spirit rings circling it like a Spirit Master, so it was difficult to immediately determine which Spirit Ability was being used.
Without time to think, his second Spirit Ability instantly activated, and a golden dragon shadow on his Coiling Dragon Staff glowed brightly.
With a 'clang,' the tip of the red Coiling Dragon Staff was blocked by Wang Nan's rod and swept aside. With a flash of his body, Wang Nan appeared behind the figure, his Coiling Dragon Staff raised high, smashing down toward the back of the figure's head.
The figure seemed battle-hardened. The moment Wang Nan used his first Spirit Ability, its hands had already retracted. Before it could even turn around, its Coiling Dragon Staff had already swung backward.
However, this made it difficult to exert force. As Wang Nan's second spirit ring lit up again, the golden Coiling Dragon Staff 'chopped' downwards. The two Coiling Dragon Staffs crossed, landing on the figure's back.
The force of this strike was not light. The figure seemed injured, its movements slowing. Wang Nan's first spirit ring lit up, and the speed at which he wielded his Coiling Dragon Staff increased again. The figure couldn't defend in time and quickly transformed back into two dragon shadows, flying toward the seventh floor.
Only then did Wang Nan look at the surrounding arrangement. Like the previous floors, besides the central arena, there were several long tables around. However, this time, the tables were covered with the fur of some unknown Spirit Beast.
It was unclear what level of cultivation these Spirit Beasts had reached in their lives. After such a long time, although some of their power had dissipated, some still remained, making them barely usable for crafting some equipment.
Pan Huai and Pan Yang had also come up. They seemed to have heard the sound of the previous battle and looked up at Wang Nan, asking, "What happened just now?"
Wang Nan thought about the two dragon shadows he had just seen, coupled with the fragments of text he had read earlier, and roughly guessed the truth.
"It should be a test left by those two Super Douluo. Let's go, let's go up and take a look."
While the three were still on the stairs, a pressure came from above. When they reached the seventh floor, Wang Nan finally saw clearly that the two dragon shadows from before had once again transformed into figures holding Coiling Dragon Staffs.
However, this figure was completely different from before. Not only could his appearance be vaguely seen, but the Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand was also completely different. The giant dragon on it seemed to have come alive, flying off the rod and coiling around him.
Pan Huai's eyes widened for a moment. For him, witnessing the figure of his ancestor from ten thousand years ago was already a lifelong dream come true.
Wang Nan, however, didn't overthink it like Pan Huai. He leaped forward to face the figure, summoning his Coiling Dragon Staff, and six spirit rings slowly rose.
If he guessed correctly, this figure's cultivation should have already reached the Spirit Saint level.
The figure in front of him flashed, and Wang Nan only felt a gust of wind by his ear as a crimson Coiling Dragon Staff came toward him.
Not daring to be careless, his second spirit ring lit up, and he used both hands to forcefully parry upward, blocking the opponent's Coiling Dragon Staff.
However, the next moment, the red giant dragon coiling around the figure suddenly pounced and landed on Wang Nan's Coiling Dragon Staff. A huge force came from his hands, and Wang Nan retreated several steps before he could dissipate the force.
Coiling Dragon Staff Spirit. This was the true Coiling Dragon Staff Spirit. It was a rod, and it was also a dragon.
Although he had heard many things about the Coiling Dragon Staff from Pan Huai in the past few days, hearing it from others and facing it himself were two completely different concepts.
The opposing figure attacked relentlessly. Wang Nan didn't feel the presence of any Spirit Abilities; it was just a red Coiling Dragon Staff flying up and down, accompanied by the assisting attacks of the red dragon shadow. For a moment, Wang Nan felt as if he were surrounded by the opponent's rod shadows.
He used both hands to forcefully block the opponent's attack for an instant. In that brief moment, Wang Nan's first, second, fourth, and sixth spirit rings lit up simultaneously. Gold, yellow, and black colors constantly swirled around him.
Pan Huai, beside him, was already dumbfounded.
For disciples of Shrek, simultaneously using multiple Spirit Abilities was merely a basic course. But for ordinary Spirit Masters like Pan Huai, simultaneously using multiple Spirit Abilities was already considered a profound technique in their understanding.
Wang Nan had no time to consider anything else. His Coiling Dragon Staff met the opponent's again. With the enhancement of four Spirit Abilities, this strike landed with power that already surpassed that of the figure opposite him. Even with the assistance of the red dragon shadow, the figure still stumbled.
On the Coiling Dragon Staff in Wang Nan's hand, the scales on the giant dragon became a few shades brighter.
The figure quickly adjusted, gripping one end of the Coiling Dragon Staff with both hands. The red Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand suddenly grew several times larger, arcing through the air and smashing down.
Where the red Coiling Dragon Staff landed, the air twisted, and vaguely, it seemed as if even the space here was tearing apart.
Wang Nan felt this strike even more intensely; for a moment, it seemed as if the entire world was about to collapse.
However, the more this happened, the brighter his eyes became. In his spiritual sea, the Evil Breaking Dragon's head rose high, letting out a long roar with him. A clear dragon roar rumbled from Wang Nan's mouth.
Spirit and spirit power merged into one. The next moment, Wang Nan pressed down with his left hand and sharply raised his right hand, 'lifting' the Coiling Dragon Staff upward, its tip soaring like a dragon's head.
Facing the enormous red rod shadow, like heaven and earth, Wang Nan's single strike seemed so flimsy, yet it was this flimsy strike that blocked the arrogant red rod shadow.
Wang Nan's sixth Spirit Ability had been continuous. The force of these two strikes grew with each one. With the next strike, the power in his hand was already no less than that of the figure before him. For a moment, offense and defense shifted, and it was the figure that fell into a disadvantage.
However, that figure was, after all, a seven-ring Spirit Saint in cultivation. It could also use a powerful Spirit Ability like other Spirit Saints: Martial Soul True Body.
