Chapter 56: Super Douluo Gui Mei Arrives. Do You Want to Fight? Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place!
The aura of a Super Douluo!
"When did you Breakthrough to level ninety-six?" Chen Xin was originally standing beside Ning Fengzhi, quietly observing, but now he couldn't stand still.
"Judging by your aura, you must have just advanced recently, right? You don't think you're my opponent now, do you? What's more, I have someone else on my side..."
Before Chen Xin could finish speaking, Dugu Bo slowly stood up. Everyone initially thought Dugu Bo was going to side with Chen Xin, but gradually they realized something was off!
Dugu Bo walked over to Yue Guan's side!
This sudden turn of events caught both Emperor Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi off guard.
Emperor Xue Ye's expression wasn't very pleasant: "Poison Douluo, what is the meaning of this?"
Dugu Bo laughed heartily: "No meaning at all. This Old Man just feels that Spirit Hall might be more suitable for me. I've repaid Prince Xue Xing's kindness over these years, so it's natural for me to leave. Although defecting in battle isn't good looking, this Old Man is willing! Hahahaha!"
Dugu Bo didn't care what the world thought of him; he simply acted according to his own heart.
Chen Xin's expression also became solemn, but he felt it was still within an acceptable range. His Seven Kill Sword floated beside him, his robes fluttering: "Do you think two Titled Douluo will be my opponents?"
Yue Guan smiled: "Why don't we try? If our side can defeat you and Ning Fengzhi, then the Heaven Dou Empire will make up this year's quota. Oh no, double it!"
Chen Xin didn't respond to Yue Guan's words immediately, but waited for Ning Fengzhi and Emperor Xue Ye's decision.
To be honest, he didn't want to clash with Spirit Hall.
Letting Spirit Hall suffer a slight setback wouldn't have much impact later, but if it escalated...
Emperor Xue Ye said, "Alright, how about this, Chrysanthemum Douluo, I'll also give you some Face. If you can defeat Sect Master Ning and Sword Douluo, the Heaven Dou Empire will double this year's Soul Master subsidy amount. Conversely, we will no longer provide any Soul Master subsidies in the future."
Yue Guan suddenly sensed a very familiar aura and smiled: "No problem. It seems Emperor Xue Ye, you think that a few of us won't be a match for Sword Douluo and School Master Ning."
Emperor Xue Ye smiled without speaking. He still had great confidence in Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin.
Although Dugu Bo was also a Titled Douluo, among these few, he was the weakest. His poison was indeed powerful, but it couldn't get close to Chen Xin.
"Hahaha, Elder Ju, it seems we're being underestimated." Xie Tian gave an evil smile, his Dragon Pattern Moon Blade appearing in his hand. Eight standard soul rings also emerged around him—an eight-ring Soul Douluo!
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin frowned as they looked at this person. A Soul Douluo wouldn't cause them such concern, but this Martial Soul...
Meanwhile, Hu Leyao also displayed her Martial Soul, the Three-Tailed Fox!
"You are Spirit Hall's Charming Fox duo! You've already reached Soul Douluo?!" Ning Fengzhi exclaimed, looking at the somewhat familiar Martial Souls on their bodies.
Xie Tian rested his Moon Blade on his shoulder and smiled: "Oh, I didn't expect Sect Master Ning to know us. A pleasure to meet you. It's too late to back out of the agreement we just made."
"Son, you and Senior Dugu Bo go wait to the side first, to prevent you from getting hurt later. Today, I'll let you witness a battle between Titled Douluo!"
Xie Tian's words were quite boastful. Hu Bai couldn't help but inwardly complain, 'You're just a Soul Douluo, yet you talk about a battle between Titled Douluo.'
But Hu Bai knew that his Old Father wanted to show off, so he let him be.
Dugu Bo was slightly stunned: "Don't you need my help?"
Hu Bai: "Senior Dugu Bo, your fighting style isn't quite suitable here. What if Emperor Xue Ye accidentally gets caught in the crossfire and gets poisoned to death?"
Emperor Xue Ye: ...
Ning Fengzhi: ...
Chen Xin: ...
"Hahaha! Little fellow, what you said is indeed very reasonable. In a situation like today, this Old Poison truly isn't needed."
"Old Gui, since you're already here, why are you still hiding in the dark watching? Come out and play with us." Yue Guan smiled.
Listening to Yue Guan's words, Ning Fengzhi's face sank again. A sinister and hoarse voice came from the Void.
"Hahaha, Yue Guan, I just saw that your soul power had a breakthrough, so I wanted to see you fight Chen Xin alone, try it out?"
A black, misty substance flashed to Yue Guan's side. The black mist dispersed, revealing his true form: Gui Mei!
"Bah, I'm not that arrogant. Hu Bai is still nearby, so we can't make too much of a commotion."
"I didn't expect Chen Xin wouldn't detect my aura, but you did first." Gui Mei's usually stern face showed a slight smile.
"Heh, who do you think I am?"
Yue Guan detecting Gui Mei wasn't because his perception was stronger than Chen Xin's, but rather due to the bond between him and Gui Mei, which was Martial Soul resonance.
Hu Bai: Hey, hey, hey, your conversation is a bit ambiguous!
Chen Xin was now feeling a bit helpless. He looked at Ning Fengzhi, signaling with his eyes: How do we fight this?
Yue Guan and Gui Mei were most famous for their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Dark Eclipse Domain. Although activating this Fusion skill required a wind-up, he could interrupt it, but that would mean getting serious.
He, Chen Xin, was naturally not afraid to fight, but he had to consider the Sect.
If they started fighting now, to win, he would have to use his full strength, and in that situation, it would be difficult to avoid casualties.
He was now in a dilemma.
But he still said, "Yue Guan, Gui Mei, your Martial Soul Fusion Skill is indeed powerful, but tell me, is your activation fast, or is my Sword fast?"
Gui Mei idly fiddled with his fingers: "Then you tell me, is your sword fast, or is my speed in striking towards Ning Fengzhi fast?"
Xie Tian and Hu Leyao probably felt this wasn't enough, so they directly fused into their martial soul fusion. Their aura was already comparable to a ninety-fifth level Titled Douluo!
Both of their Martial Souls had evolved, so naturally, fusing into Fiend Charm made them even stronger!
The wind-up time required for their Martial Soul Fusion was not as long as Yue Guan and Gui Mei's, only about a second—they completed it in the time it took to speak a sentence!
A gender-neutral voice came from Fiend Charm: "I've long admired Sword Douluo Chen Xin. I wonder if my Fiend Charm's Moon Blade is faster, or your Sword? Two fists are no match for four hands. Bone Douluo isn't here. Do you think you can protect Ning Fengzhi?"
Gui Mei and Fiend Charm's words were full of threats: As a support Soul Master, you'd best not be too arrogant!
Yue Guan: "Now I'll give you another choice: double the Soul Master subsidy amount to us, or we fight!"
Ning Fengzhi's expression remained calm. He said faintly: "This time, perhaps we've lost. However, for your Spirit Hall to so domineeringly demand Soul Master subsidies from the Empire, isn't your behavior a bit unsightly?"
