"Shui Bing'er, it seems you've encountered some trouble."
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Shui Bing'er's body trembled. It was… it was him!
"Who's there? Playing tricks, do you dare to come out and fight?!"
The Elephant Armored Academy Elder opposite Shui Bing'er's face changed, and he quickly looked around, trying to detect the newcomer's whereabouts.
At this moment, someone from the Elephant Armored Academy suddenly exclaimed, "Elder, look! Someone's in the sky!"
Hearing this, the Elephant Armored Academy Elder immediately looked up, only to see a person standing on a strange, large bird.
The next moment, the strange bird's figure suddenly vanished from their sight, and when it reappeared, it was already beside Shui Bing'er.
"Mo Hui, it really is you!"
Upon seeing Mo Hui, a look of pleasant surprise immediately appeared on Shui Bing'er's face. With Mo Hui here, at least the two of them wouldn't be in mortal danger.
Mo Hui smiled slightly and said, "Long time no see. I didn't expect to see you just as you encountered something like this."
Hearing this, a hint of embarrassment flashed in Shui Bing'er's eyes. After such a long time, the first meeting required the other party to solve her trouble, which indeed didn't sound good.
As for Mo Hui being unable to defeat the Spirit Saint in front of him, Shui Bing'er didn't even consider it.
Back then, a Spirit King-level Mo Hui could easily defeat a Spirit Emperor-level Demon Charm. Now, Mo Hui defeating a Spirit Saint was nothing at all.
Moreover, after these five years, even she had already reached level sixty-four. At Mo Hui's speed, his improvement would only be faster, and he might even be a Spirit Saint by now.
"Pidgeot~"
Pidgeot also greeted Shui Bing'er.
"So fast!"
At this moment, the Elephant Armored Academy Elder, upon seeing Mo Hui's speed, couldn't help but be startled.
He had just been unable to see how Mo Hui reached the girl's side. This level of speed had already surpassed any powerful individual he had seen. Was this person in front of Mo Hui a Titled Douluo?
Thinking of this, the Elephant Armored Academy Elder's hair immediately stood on end, and he slowly shielded the Elephant Armored Academy disciples in front of him.
However, his small movements naturally couldn't escape Mo Hui's eyes. Mo Hui pointed at the Elephant Armored Academy members and asked Shui Bing'er, "How do you plan to deal with these people?"
Shui Bing'er also saw the Elephant Armored Academy Elder slowly retreating. After only a moment of hesitation, her gaze turned cold and she said, "If possible, kill them all!"
These people not only intended to attack them but also knew that they had obtained a ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone. If they were allowed to escape, then endless trouble would surely await her and Xue Wu.
Mo Hui could protect them once, but he couldn't protect them forever!
Hearing this, Mo Hui nodded, gently waved his right hand, and a several-zhang-long azure Wind Blade was unleashed from his hand.
Instantly, the Elephant Armored Academy members were cut in two as if by a streak of azure light, after pausing for a moment.
Even the ice-covered trees nearly a hundred meters in front of Mo Hui fell to the ground, leaving behind smooth, mirror-like cuts, as if they had been cleanly severed by a knife.
"Hiss~"
Upon seeing this scene, Shui Bing'er immediately gasped.
Although she had long speculated about Mo Hui's strength, she hadn't expected it to be so formidable. A casual Wind Blade alone had killed the Elephant Armored Academy Spirit Saint Elder, who was known for his defense.
"Alright, they're all taken care of. Hide the Spirit Bone you obtained well. Although with your strength, you are qualified to possess a ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone, it's better to avoid unnecessary trouble. You should know that some Titled Douluo don't even have ten-thousand-year Spirit Bones!"
After dealing with the Elephant Armored Academy members, Mo Hui said to Shui Bing'er.
Currently, Shui Bing'er's level was sixty-four, and Xue Wu was also absorbing her sixth spirit ring, which would make her a Spirit Emperor after absorption.
With their current levels, their strength after using their Spirit Fusion Skill would likely be on par with a Spirit Douluo. This level of strength was considered high-tier combat power on the Douluo Continent.
After all, many first-rate powers only had one Spirit Douluo.
As for Titled Douluo? That was a privilege only for super-first-rate powers!
On the surface, there were only a few Titled Douluo: three from Spirit Hall, two from Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, two from Clear Sky Sect, one from Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, one Poison Douluo, and that was it…
Even counting those reclusive old fellows, in people's impression, there were no more than twenty. Titled Douluo were just that rare.
"I understand. Thank you, Mo Hui. If it weren't for you, we might have been in grave danger today."
Shui Bing'er looked at Mo Hui gratefully.
If Mo Hui hadn't come today, their fate was almost predictable. Even if she was willing to abandon Xue Wu, she might not have been able to escape, because the Spirit Bone was on her.
"It was just a small matter. If not for the special circumstances, you could have resolved today's crisis yourselves."
Saying this, Mo Hui looked around curiously and said, "By the way, why did you come to hunt Spirit Beasts by yourselves? Where are the dean and teachers of Tian Shui Academy?"
Logically speaking, as the most outstanding students of Tian Shui Academy, even after graduation, it shouldn't be difficult to ask the academy's teachers to help them hunt Spirit Beasts. If there had been a Spirit Saint present today, they wouldn't have faced such a predicament.
Upon hearing Mo Hui's words, Shui Bing'er's expression suddenly became serious. She said, "Spirit Hall has recently become much more overbearing in its actions for some unknown reason. They have repeatedly invited our Tian Shui Academy to join Spirit Hall. The dean and the others have gone to deal with Spirit Hall, which is why the two of us came to hunt Spirit Beasts alone."
At this point, Shui Bing'er suddenly sighed and said, "I originally thought that with Xue Wu and my strength, we would have the ability to protect ourselves even if we encountered a fifty or sixty-thousand-year Spirit Beast in the Sunset Forest, but I overlooked the time when Xue Wu was absorbing her spirit ring."
"Spirit Hall?"
Hearing this, Mo Hui stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression appearing in his eyes.
Spirit Hall, or rather, Bibi Dong, was finally making her move?
But this was also within Mo Hui's expectations. If Mo Hui were to watch his enemies grow at an unbelievable speed while he himself was almost treading water, he would also be anxious.
At this moment, Shui Bing'er looked at Mo Hui's profile and asked curiously, "Mo Hui, can you answer one question for me? What is your spirit power level now?
From your ability to effortlessly instantly kill the Elephant Armored Academy's Spirit Saint just now, you don't seem to be an ordinary Spirit Saint, do you?"
It had only been a little over five years since the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. Considering the difficulty of leveling up after the Spirit King stage, normally, reaching Spirit Saint would already be a high estimate for Mo Hui.
But Mo Hui obviously couldn't be judged by common sense. Perhaps Mo Hui's level would truly exceed her expectations.
