—------------------—
The sound of Spirit Bones colliding constantly came, and the figures of both sides turned into afterimages.
The two kept colliding, separating, and then colliding again.
As the collisions continued, Tang San keenly noticed that when his Soul Devouring Eight Spider Lances clashed with Shi Quan's Holy Dragon Eight Spears, the Phagocytic ability of the Soul Devouring Eight Spider Lances not only had no effect on Shi Quan's Holy Dragon Eight Spears, but the aura emanating from the Holy Dragon Eight Spears also had a considerable suppressive effect on his Soul Devouring Eight Spider Lances.
Moreover, with continuous collisions, the powerful impact made his body tremble uncontrollably.
"Can't you hold on so quickly?" Shi Quan looked at Tang San's slightly trembling hands and asked mockingly, but the offensive of the Holy Dragon Eight Spears behind him did not slow down at all.
Clang, clang, clang, the sharp Dragon Spears once again forced Tang San back.
Shi Quan's tone suddenly changed as he said, "Is this all the strength you have after devouring so many Spirit Beasts?"
Outside the arena, Yu Xiaogang's expression changed immediately upon hearing this, but he quickly recovered.
Bibi Dong and the others on the judging panel also frowned slightly upon hearing the words.
"Shi Quan, can you only rely on your sharp tongue?" Tang San's expression remained unchanged, his eyes flickering with purple light, staring intently at the attacking Dragon Spears from Shi Quan, desperately counterattacking.
"Sharp tongue?" Shi Quan laughed loudly, "You know best whether it's true or not. Whether it's Spirit Bone strength, Martial Spirit strength, or overall strength, you've been making rapid progress during the competition. You thought you were doing it secretly, but in fact, the Empire has already been investigating in secret. The Heaven Dou Empire will absolutely not allow the existence of Fallen Soul Masters!"
Tang San's expression remained unchanged. As he moved, the Soul Devouring Eight Spider Lances behind him suddenly thrust out, "A righteous person fears no slander."
"Is that so!" Shi Quan's mouth curled into a smile, his eyes flickering with silver light, "Give me… break!"
The Nine Yin Nine Yang Divine Skill quickly circulated, and the Holy Dragon Eight Spears erupted with brilliant golden light. A sacred aura spread out, and the Soul Devouring Eight Spider Lances clearly trembled violently when they came into contact with the Holy Dragon Eight Spears' aura, as if sensing some terrifying presence.
Boom—
A violent explosion sounded, and Tang San suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The Soul Devouring Eight Spider Lances that clashed with the Holy Dragon Eight Spears shattered in response.
The intense pain caused Tang San's entire body to convulse. Facing Shi Quan's attack, Tang San dared not stop for even a moment. Aided by the stimulation of the intense pain, his attacks became even more ferocious.
Soon, a second explosion sounded again, and another Soul Devouring Eight Spider Lances shattered.
The sacred aura of the Holy Dragon Eight Spears had an absolute suppressive effect on Tang San's Soul Devouring Eight Lances. Coupled with the existence of the Dragon Clan Bloodline, how could a mere Soul Devouring Spider's Spirit Bone dare to challenge a Dragon Bone possessing the Bloodline of a Sacred Dragon?
"Your Seven-in-One Fusion Technique is not as good as mine, and it seems even your Spirit Bones are not as good as mine!" Shi Quan's voice came, and the fierce collisions continued.
He wanted to summon the Clear Sky Hammer to block, but the Clear Sky Hammer was too heavy. In his current state, he simply couldn't block Shi Quan's multi-directional attacks and could only use the Soul Devouring Eight Spider Lances to defend.
The third, fourth, fifth…
Every time a Soul Devouring Eight Spider Lances shattered, Tang San couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood. In just a moment, he had already spat out his seventh mouthful of blood.
His body was already enveloped in a layer of blood mist. Looking at the Holy Dragon Eight Spears attacking again, Tang San's spirit power within his body had been circulated to its limit. After swinging out his last Eight Spider Lances with all his might, it was still that familiar roar.
Tang San watched as his last spider lance shattered in its collision with Shi Quan.
However, Tang San's resistance was not over. He didn't have a ninth spider leg, but it was clearly impossible for him to give up like this. In this final collision, while retreating with the momentum, the Clear Sky Hammer finally reappeared, shooting out from Tang San's spinning, retreating figure and smashing heavily towards Shi Quan.
The Holy Dragon Eight Spears suddenly sprang up, and the flying Clear Sky Hammer was easily dodged by Shi Quan.
Shi Quan's figure gracefully landed, eight golden lights flickering behind him. A trace of Tang San's fresh blood was stained on one of the Dragon Spears. Looking at the blood on the Dragon Spear, his eyes narrowed slightly, "There's an Immortal Herb aura remaining in your blood. Did you steal Grandpa Dugu's medicinal garden?"
"What!?" Dugu Bo's snake-like aura instantly locked onto Tang San.
"Old Poison, were your Immortal Herbs stolen?" Chrysanthemum Douluo looked at Dugu Bo, suppressing a laugh, and released his aura to interrupt Dugu Bo's chilling aura, so as not to affect the battle.
"That's my business, none of yours!" Dugu Bo glared with wide eyes.
Bibi Dong said lightly, "Elder Dugu, the competition is not over yet. Please do not disturb the proceedings of the competition."
"Hmph!" Dugu Bo snorted coldly, his gaze fixed on Tang San on the stage.
Upon hearing this, Tang San still maintained his defiant attitude, "If you want to condemn someone, you can always find an excuse."
"Still pretending?" Shi Quan rolled his eyes at Tang San, slowly raised his hand, spread his five fingers, and quietly looked at Tang San in the distance, "You can't beat me in the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique." Shi Quan raised his hand and pressed down one finger.
"You can't beat me in Spirit Bones either." Another finger went down.
"As for the Blue Silver Grass Martial Spirit, to be honest, my Blue Silver Grass has already evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor. You can't beat me in the Blue Silver Grass Martial Spirit either." As he spoke, only two of the five upright fingers remained.
"You can't beat me in spirit ring strength either." The last upright finger remained, "You're not good at anything, so why are you pretending?"
"Don't think you've won." Tang San roared angrily, then he moved. Only his right hand moved, his arm swinging, his forearm trembling with a strange rhythm. The moment his five fingers spread, his fingers seemed to disappear into thin air, turning into a phantom. He found some fragments of Eight Spider Lances from who knows where in his hand, and they flew out in all directions.
Neither more nor less, exactly sixteen pieces, just like in the original work.
After throwing these sixteen Spirit Bone fragments, Tang San's upright figure also collapsed to the ground at this moment, but a confident smile curled on his lips. However, the next second, his smile froze in place.
"Fall!"
Shi Quan lightly uttered a single word, and pointed his finger downwards. A faint yellow ripple spread from Shi Quan's feet. The next second, all sixteen fragments that had scattered in an arc, strangely dropped straight down to the ground.
"What was that!?" Bibi Dong and the others in the stands narrowed their pupils. The ordinary Spirit Masters around them were still confused, but Bibi Dong and the other Titled Douluo saw the abnormality.
Domain!
Shi Quan actually possessed the power of a Domain!
What kind of concept was it for a Spirit Ancestor to possess a Domain?
Even Bibi Dong herself only awakened her innate Domain when she broke through to Spirit Saint.
Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, very few people awakened their innate Domain before reaching Spirit Saint. Among those who could awaken a Domain through their own abilities, Bibi Dong only knew of Qian Renxue. Qian Renxue was able to do so because her Martial Spirit was the Divine Rank Martial Spirit Seraphim, possessing the power of a deity.
As for those obtained through special means, that was naturally another matter, such as the Slaughter God Domain.
"His talent is already comparable to Xue'er's?" Bibi Dong's gaze towards Shi Quan changed for the first time. Thinking of this, Bibi Dong couldn't help but glance in Qian Renxue's direction.
Feeling Bibi Dong's gaze, Qian Renxue looked up and met her eyes. Their eyes met, and Qian Renxue's lips parted slightly, whispering five imperceptible words, "He is my person."
Bibi Dong's gaze narrowed slightly, then she withdrew her gaze. At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the arena, and no one noticed the eye contact between Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue.
"Is this your trump card?!" Shi Quan flashed in front of Tang San, stepping on his chest and pushing him into the ground.
His back was hit again, and Tang San spat out another mouthful of fresh blood.
"I forgot, there's one thing I can't compare to you. You have a Titled Douluo father." Shi Quan lifted his foot and continued to press down, "If you didn't have a Titled Douluo father, you would have died countless times already."
Tang San let out a painful roar, his eyes bloodshot as he stared intently at Shi Quan.
Shi Quan leaned down and looked at Tang San, "I know you want to kill me, but unfortunately, you are not my opponent."
"Shrek Team surrenders! Shi Quan, stop!" Flender roared.
Upon hearing this, Shi Quan looked back at Flender, then kicked Tang San away.
In his mind.
The System's familiar voice came.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament championship, triggering a plunder treasure chest. It has been opened for the host. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a ten-thousand-year spirit ring lifespan X3."
"spirit ring lifespan? Similar to the reward for the plate armor crystal?"
Shi Quan thought to himself, when he snatched Tang San's Plate crystal, he got a thousand-year spirit ring lifespan. For the championship, he only got three ten-thousand-year spirit ring lifespans. Is this reward a bit underwhelming?
The members of Shrek Academy rushed onto the stage to help Tang San, who was covered in blood, especially Xiao Wu, whose eyes held obvious venom and resentment towards Shi Quan.
"Rongrong, can you ask your father to heal Brother San?" Xiao Wu looked at Ning Rongrong with red eyes.
Ning Rongrong looked at Tang San on the ground and initially wanted to refuse, but thinking of her current status, she still looked up at Ning Fengzhi on the judging panel, "Father."
Ning Fengzhi nodded in satisfaction towards Ning Rongrong. In her position, she did her duty. He had witnessed Ning Rongrong's growth.
Ning Fengzhi raised his hand, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, glowing with precious light, had just appeared before him when Bibi Dong interrupted, "Sect Master Ning, please wait. If you wish to heal him, wait until the competition is over."
Ning Fengzhi frowned at Bibi Dong, not understanding what Bibi Dong meant, but he still stopped his actions.
On the stage, Shrek and the others brought Tang San to the edge of the arena. The members of the Heaven Dou Battle Team successively walked onto the stage. With Shi Quan at the forefront, they stood in a line, and behind them was Dugu Bo.
As Bibi Dong stood up, all the Titled Douluo also stood up. Bibi Dong calmly announced, "The champion of this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Heaven Dou Battle Team. Congratulations, talented young Spirit Masters."
At this moment, everyone's gaze fell on the brocade plate containing the three Spirit Bones.
