Qian Daoliu let out a cold shout.
As one of the top combatants on the Douluo Continent, how could he possibly need to use his full strength against a mere Soul Emperor?
He had initially thought he could easily defeat Jiang Xiaofeng with only thirty percent of his power. However, he'd discovered that even with that level of power, thanks to the aid of that auxiliary soul master, Jiang Xiaofeng was now able to hold his own.
"Since you want to fight so much, then I won't hold back!"
Qian Daoliu wasn't stupid. Bibi Dong was standing right there. If he truly killed Jiang Xiaofeng, then the Spirit Hall would be finished.
He didn't want the Spirit Hall to be destroyed by his hand, so he unleashed fifty percent of his power.
Using half of his strength to fight a Soul Emperor. If such a thing were to get out, he, Qian Daoliu, would likely be the laughingstock of all the soul masters on the continent.
The situation before him forced him to use half of his abilities against Jiang Xiaofeng.
Just as Qian Daoliu had thought, when he unleashed half of his power, Jiang Xiaofeng was clearly struggling.
Jiang Xiaofeng also realized that Qian Daoliu's abilities had increased significantly; it was obvious that Qian Daoliu hadn't used his full strength from the start.
So, is this his full power now?
Jiang Xiaofeng's sharp eyes could tell from Qian Daoliu's composure that he was likely still hiding a considerable amount of strength.
But it was fine. Being able to fight a 99th-ranked Title Douluo would allow him to accumulate a lot of experience.
However, Qian Daoliu didn't want to drag this out. After all, he was a 99th-ranked Limit Douluo, while Jiang Xiaofeng was only a Soul Emperor.
BOOM!!!
Jiang Xiaofeng was sent flying backward and crashed heavily into the wall of the Papal Palace.
Jiang Xiaofeng's entire body was embedded in the thick stone wall.
Jiang Xiaofeng yanked his body out.
Large chunks of stone fell as Jiang Xiaofeng moved.
"Ptooey!"
A mouthful of blood and phlegm came out of Jiang Xiaofeng's mouth.
That sword strike had directly numbed Jiang Xiaofeng's entire body.
Jiang Xiaofeng still wanted to fight, but Bibi Dong didn't want to see Jiang Xiaofeng get hurt anymore.
"That's enough, Xiaofeng, you've done very well!"
Bibi Dong stood in front of Jiang Xiaofeng, blocking his path.
\n\n
Qian Daoliu stood with his hands behind his back.
"Not bad, kid. It's a pity you're Bibi Dong's disciple. If you were my disciple, your future would be limitless!"
Jiang Xiaofeng said, "It's a pity the Great供奉 (Gongfeng) is late. But I gained a lot from today's battle. Thank you for your generosity, Great供奉!"
Qian Daoliu nodded and said.
"Well, take the time to rest. I'll take you to the assessment location to meet Xue'er in a while!"
"Alright!"
Qian Daoliu flashed away, disappearing inside the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong finally turned her head back, looking at Jiang Xiaofeng with a worried expression.
"Are you alright?"
Jiang Xiaofeng shook his head, a smile on his face.
"Do I look like someone who's in trouble? But my clothes are ruined. I need to go back and change!"
"Okay, go ahead. I'll be waiting for you in the Papal Palace!"
"Alright, Tiger Lao Da, come with me. I need to talk to you about something!"
Tiger Lao Da trotted over to Jiang Xiaofeng's side, beaming.
"Your Holiness, then we'll take our leave first!"
Jiang Xiaofeng and Tiger Lao Da slowly walked away.
Once they reached a secluded spot, Jiang Xiaofeng's expression drastically changed. He grabbed Tiger Lao Da's arm tightly.
With a loud whoosh, he vomited a large pool of black blood.
"Brother Feng! Brother Feng, what's wrong with you?!"
Tiger Lao Da was visibly panicked, utterly clueless about what had just happened.
Jiang Xiaofeng, weakened, clutched at Tiger Lao Da.
"Carry me, and try not to let anyone notice anything unusual!"
"Alright, but you were perfectly fine just now. Could it be that Qian Daoliu did something?"
Jiang Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "The gap between us was already huge to begin with. With Sister Ling's help, I only managed to make him put in a little effort. But my strength is what it is, I couldn't possibly beat him. Getting injured was inevitable. I endured it until now so as not to worry the teacher, otherwise, why would I have asked you to come with me?"
"Understood, Brother Feng, I'll take you back right away!"
Jiang Xiaofeng was practically carried by Tiger Lao Da. He was already very weak, after all, his opponent was a Level 99 Title Douluo.
When Jiang Xiaofeng returned to his own courtyard, he immediately entered the cultivation room.
"Don't disturb me until I come out!"
"Rest assured, Brother Feng. Even if I die, I won't let anyone disturb you!"
Bibi Dong originally thought Jiang Xiaofeng would return after changing his clothes. However, after waiting for a while, she found that Jiang Xiaofeng hadn't returned.
After a report from her subordinates, she learned that Jiang Xiaofeng had gained some insights during the battle and had gone into closed-door cultivation.
Bibi Dong frowned slightly.
"You little Xiaofeng, daring to stand up your teacher, you'll pay for this later!"
Although Bibi Dong suspected that Jiang Xiaofeng had suddenly gone into closed-door cultivation, judging from the way he left before, he shouldn't be injured.
One day later.
Qian Renxue came to Jiang Xiaofeng's courtyard, which used to be his little house!
"Young master, you can't go in!"
Tiger Lao Da stood in front of Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue looked at Tiger Lao Da in front of her, a little unhappy.
"Why can't I go in? Jiang Xiaofeng didn't tell me when he came back, I want to see him now, and you're still here blocking me? Believe it or not, I'll make you get out of Spirit Hall right now!"
Tiger Lao Da stood motionless at the door.
"Brother Feng said, he's in the training room, and no one is allowed to disturb him, not even Her Holiness the Pope!"
Qian Renxue frowned. Closing himself off for urgent cultivation as soon as he returned didn't seem like Jiang Xiaofeng's style. Had something happened?
She'd heard Jiang Xiaofeng had fought a battle with her grandfather as soon as he returned. Although Bibi Dong had ended the fight, it didn't seem like Jiang Xiaofeng had suffered much.
But women always have a strange sixth sense, especially when it comes to someone they like.
"Tiger Lao Da, is he injured?"
"Brother Feng is just cultivating; he isn't injured!"
Qian Renxue shouted, "If you dare to deceive me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"How dare I deceive the young master? Please return, young master. Brother Feng has instructed me to guard here and not allow anyone to disturb him!"
Qian Renxue nodded, forced to leave in resignation.
Over the next few days, people came looking for Jiang Xiaofeng one after another.
But Tiger Lao Da ruthlessly turned them away, even Bibi Dong was treated the same.
"He won't even see me?"
Tiger Lao Da trembled as he said, "Your Eminence the Pope, Brother Feng did say that. We have to wait for him to come out himself. Otherwise, no one can disturb his cultivation!"
"What exactly is this Xiaofeng up to?"
Bibi Dong didn't want to interrupt Jiang Xiaofeng's cultivation, so she had no choice but to leave.
Meanwhile, inside the cultivation room, after several days of recovery, Jiang Xiaofeng's injuries had not only healed, but the fourth War Elephant was about to manifest.
