Li Yan's Spirit was naturally not comparable to Yu Tianheng's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, but with the advantage of spirit tools, even if it wasn't a top-tier Spirit, he could contend with the Douluo Continent's top Spirits like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Black Tortoise, and Clear Sky Hammer.
The battle was fierce, and Yu Tianheng, as one of the twin stars of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan of this generation, had excellent combat quality. Even with the advantage of spirit tools, Li Yan didn't gain the upper hand.
Neither of them could defeat the other, and in the end, Li Yan, relying on the sustained combat ability provided by his 'milk bottle' spirit tool, wore down Yu Tianheng.
Subsequently, everyone else also went on stage to spar with the students of Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, with wins and losses.
This battle completely awakened the Heaven Dou One line people. Having witnessed the power of spirit tools, they all adjusted their mindset and began to take spirit tools seriously.
Just then, three figures with exceptional postures walked over from a distance. They were Xu Nianshuang, Yang Yiyi, and Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan's talent had been greatly enhanced after consuming the Immortal Herb, and she was arranged by Xu Yunxiao into Xu Tianyang's core team. Moreover, Dugu Yan's grandfather, Dugu Bo, had put in much effort in recent years, and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was originally his property.
Since the Sun Moon Empire took the lion's share, he didn't mind giving Dugu Yan a bright future.
"Ling Ling, so it's you guys here. No wonder the Second Douluo Arena is so crowded today," Dugu Yan said. She had already reunited with her old best friends these past few days, and their relationship didn't seem estranged.
"Dugu Yan!"
Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu looked over at the sound, their eyes narrowing slightly. Some of them had known Dugu Yan before, and compared to the past, she was now even more radiant and charming, with a very mature figure. Her slightly upturned, reddish eye corners were captivating with every glance.
Upon seeing Yang Yiyi and Xu Nianshuang, who were even more beautiful, beside Dugu Yan, a subtle hostility emerged in their hearts. It wasn't directed at specific individuals, but rather stemmed from the competitive nature among beauties of the same caliber.
"Yan Yan!" Ye Lingling was a girl with a serene temperament, possessing a flawless pretty face and wearing a silver-white long dress that accentuated her delicate figure. Upon seeing Dugu Yan, a barely noticeable hint of joy flashed in her calm eyes.
"Big Sister." Seeing Xu Nianshuang's arrival, Zui Hongchen, who had just seemed incredibly impressive in everyone's eyes, shivered all over, as if remembering something terrifying, and forced a fawning smile onto his face.
"Today is a day off. I just happened to bring Li Yan and the others out to give lessons to the junior students and see if there are any good talents we missed."
One could say that Zui Hongchen went to great lengths to avoid being caught by Xu Nianshuang and used as a punching bag.
"Hahahaha... Zui Hongchen, we're just accompanying Yan Yan for a stroll, not here to catch you." Yang Yiyi laughed heartily at Zui Hongchen's amusing appearance, then stepped forward and patted his shoulder.
Yang Yiyi's words made Zui Hongchen secretly sigh in relief. Turning to see Xu Nianshuang's calm gaze, he immediately patted his chest and said, "Haha... haha, how could I not? As long as Big Sister gives the word, Zui Hongchen will brave mountains of swords and seas of fire without hesitation."
Looking at Zui Hongchen, Xu Nianshuang and Yang Yiyi rolled their eyes in unison, their expressions filled with disdain.
"Nianshuang, Yi Yi." Lin Ximeng walked over at this moment, calling out with a joyful expression. Her eyes were also filled with respect when she looked at Xu Nianshuang.
Xu Nianshuang was not only her student but also the Crown Prince Consort of the Empire. Even if the other party cherished their old relationship, she couldn't disregard the rules.
"Teacher Lin!"
"These are the exchange students from the Heaven Dou Empire?!" Xu Nianshuang's gaze swept over the Heaven Dou group. The hidden, peerless sharpness in her calm eyes made everyone's hearts tremble, and they subconsciously wanted to avoid her gaze.
Only a few dared to look directly at her. Among them, Shui Bing'er seemed to recall something and somewhat guiltily avoided her gaze, then firmly raised her head to look directly at Xu Nianshuang.
"Xu Nianshuang, I am Huo Wu from Blazing Academy. I challenge you." From the crowd, Huo Wu looked at Xu Nianshuang with burning eyes, a fierce fighting Spirit rising in her heart. To everyone's surprise, she leaped out of the crowd, walked in front of Xu Nianshuang, and shouted.
"Hiss!!!" Around them, hearing Huo Wu's words, everyone gasped in unison, looking at Huo Wu with pity, admiration, disdain... and even as if she were an idiot.
Yang Yiyi observed Huo Wu with interest, a dangerous glint in her eyes. She was already thinking about how to 'discipline' the other party.
She was an out-and-out 'Evil Soul Master.' Besides Xu Tianyang, she cared about no one else in her heart. Even now, towards Xu Yunxiao, Mu Mengyu, and others, she mostly showed a gentle personality out of consideration for Xu Tianyang.
Her very bones were still influenced by her Spirit, filled with a violent, bloodthirsty gene.
"You..." Xu Nianshuang looked Huo Wu up and down, showing not the slightest interest in her eyes. Her voice was as cold as ten thousand years of profound ice, "Too weak!"
Huo Wu was instantly enraged, a surge of anger welling up in her heart.
"Whoosh!"
Just then, everyone suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold, as if to freeze their souls, enveloping the surroundings. They all tried to circulate their spirit power to resist this cold, but soon they were horrified to discover that their spirit power circulation speed seemed to be frozen, moving at a terrifyingly slow pace.
In just ten seconds, everyone's eyebrows were already covered in frost.
"Hiss!" Everyone shivered, looking at the Sun Moon group who remained unaffected. How could they not understand what was happening? Their gazes towards Xu Nianshuang were filled with shock and fear.
With a single thought, she had almost instantly defeated all of them. Most importantly, they hadn't even seen what Spirit Ability she had used. Was this level of strength... was this level of strength truly from someone of their generation?
"Oh?!"
Xu Nianshuang let out a soft exclamation at this moment, looking at Shui Bing'er among the crowd. She had already completed her Spirit possession, with a faint Ice Phoenix phantom appearing behind her, and three spirit rings—two yellow and one purple—emerging. An aura no weaker than Yu Tianheng's, and even slightly stronger, appeared.
No one had expected that among everyone, besides Feng Xiaotian, the one with the deepest hidden strength was actually Shui Bing'er.
With the Ice Phoenix's resistance, Shui Bing'er was unaffected by the surrounding cold current. She calmly watched Xu Nianshuang, even having enough energy to help the Tianshui Academy members dispel the cold from their bodies.
"Interesting!" Xu Nianshuang murmured to herself, looking at Shui Bing'er as if she had found an interesting prey.
"Boom!"
Just then, a giant silver vertical eye suddenly appeared in the sky above Ming City. A strong golden light suddenly appeared around its pupil. As soon as the golden light appeared, it occupied half of the vertical eye and was rapidly spreading throughout its entirety.
