Douluo; Zhongli Adventures in Mortal World with Paimon

Tang Yuehua's inner turmoil was something she never shared with anyone.

The most sorrowful part was that she had fallen for someone she shouldn't have.

Even more explosive than Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang's situation!

At least Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang were cousins, but her situation was entirely different...

Fortunately, this relationship would never come to fruition; otherwise, they would surely be condemned by everyone and face public scorn.

"This is her son..."

"And also his son..."

"Second Brother, what exactly are you doing? Why would you let a prodigy with twin spirits add spirit rings to his second spirit so early?"

Even though she wasn't a spirit master herself, as the third young lady of the world's number one sect, Tang Yuehua had a deep understanding of spirit master knowledge.

In Tang San's case, this was a complete waste of talent!

As if struck by a sudden thought, Tang Yuehua's delicate eyebrows furrowed, and she murmured, "Could it be that he's afraid Tang San's physique can't withstand the energy brought by so many spirit rings?"

There had been instances in the past where twin-spirit masters exploded and died due to overloading their bodies with spirit rings. Combined with Zhongli's theory, which had been made public, it wasn't hard to deduce why that twin-spirit master had met such a fate.

The amount of spirit energy a body can contain is limited.

Exceeding the body's capacity would naturally lead to an explosion.

As for why the Body Sect frequently absorbed spirit rings beyond their level, it was because their spirits were inherently a part of their bodies.

In terms of withstanding the energy of spirit rings, body spirits held a natural advantage.

Coupled with the Body Sect's secret techniques for physical training, absorbing higher-level spirit rings was as routine as eating a meal.

Thinking this, Tang Yuehua's brows furrowed once more.

If even she could understand this, others naturally could as well.

But without the spirit of "striving," could one still reach the pinnacle of strength?

On the arena, Tang San continuously executed the "Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique," hammer after hammer smashing toward Hu Yanli and his team.

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others didn't join the fight—not because they didn't want to, but because Tang San had requested it before the match.

Facing the Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique, Hu Yanli and his team managed to withstand the first few strikes, but by the fifth hammer, they began to falter.

After all, Tang San was a Spirit King-level powerhouse, while the highest among them was only a Spirit Ancestor.

With a whole major level difference, it was quite difficult for them to withstand Tang San's stacked hammer strikes.

"Hahaha!"

Hu Yanli laughed heartily and shouted, "Tang San, you're nothing special!"

"With the combined strength of our seven brothers, we can still take a few of your attacks!"

"Back then, Du Siji could take us down with a single casual strike. The difference is clear!"

The crowd twitched at his words. This honest kid was still stirring up trouble for Du Siji and the Body Sect even at a time like this!

He was practically spitting blood, yet he remained "true to his mission"!

Tang San's hand, gripping the Clear Sky Hammer, trembled slightly. At this moment, he was truly shaken!

Du Siji, Du Siji!

Did this fat-headed guy have nothing but Du Siji in his mind!!!

Actually, it wasn't far from the truth!

Hu Yanli had never admired anyone in his life. Even his grandfather, he believed he could surpass him, reach the Title Douluo level, and fulfill his grandfather's unachieved dream.

But after encountering Du Siji, he was utterly convinced.

Completely and utterly convinced!

This was why he always subconsciously brought up Du Siji for comparison.

In his heart, Du Siji's strength was truly unmatched among peers!

Even the Body Sect's Holy Maiden, Xiao Feilian, he believed that Du Siji could fight her on equal footing and even emerge victorious.

This was the blind confidence of a devoted fan.

Hu Yanli's speculation wasn't entirely unfounded.

If Xiao Feilian didn't use that sword of hers, fighting Du Siji on equal footing would be extremely difficult for her!

After all, Du Siji had no shortage of "cheats" up his sleeve.

Extreme Fire, Silver-level Second Awakening, Twin Dark Gold Claws...

Fighting Xiao Feilian on equal footing, the outcome was truly uncertain.

But if Xiao Feilian used that sword...

Du Siji: "0.o"

Fight?

Not a chance!

Even a spirit like the Clear Sky Hammer was split in two by that sword. One could only imagine how terrifying that sword truly was.

In the audience stands, Du Siji's eye twitched slightly. This Hu Yanli really...

He didn't know what to say.

The guy's admiration for him wasn't insulting in the slightest, and it was completely genuine.

But the way he kept stirring up trouble was a bit too much.

"Du Siji, did you beat them up too hard back then?"

"Look, you've even scrambled his brains."

Zhi Qing said with a straight face, though the smile at the corner of his mouth betrayed him.

"Hmph~"

Du Siji crossed his arms and snorted, "Are you looking to spar with me?"

Zhi Qing: "..."

He hated people like Du Siji the most!

When they couldn't win an argument, they resorted to force!

"Once I get that spirit bone, we can give it a try!"

"Deal!"

Suddenly, the two of them seemed to remember something and began looking around.

"Hey, why didn't the Holy Maiden come today?"

Normally, Xiao Feilian would always come to the Spirit Arena.

But her purpose wasn't to watch the matches; instead, she would gaze toward the VIP seats.

"Should be fine, right?"

Du Siji scratched his head.

With Xiao Feilian's strength and that sword of hers, nothing could possibly happen to her in Heaven Dou City.

If she didn't come today, she must have been delayed by something.

"It's fine. The Holy Maiden has an elder following her. Even if something happens, the elder will step in..."

Suddenly, a fellow disciple nearby spoke up, though his gaze remained fixed on the arena.

Hearing this, Zhi Qing and Du Siji nodded subconsciously. They had been so concerned that they hadn't considered this earlier.

As the Holy Maiden, Xiao Feilian had an elder secretly guarding her. Unless under special circumstances, the elder would never leave her side.

The elder's potential might not match the younger generation's, but their strength was something the younger generation couldn't hope to rival.

On the arena, just as an enraged Tang San was about to continue his assault, a voice rang out.

"This match, the Elephant Armor Academy concedes."

The speaker was none other than Hu Yanli's grandfather, Huyan Zhen. He was not only the patriarch of the Huyan family but also the sect leader of the Elephant Armor Sect and the dean of the Elephant Armor Academy.

His words carried the full authority to represent the Elephant Armor team.

Hearing this, Tang San quickly retracted his strength and put away his Clear Sky Hammer spirit.

If he continued attacking after the opponent had conceded, it would be a violation of the rules, and he would face penalties.

Having come this far, being disqualified for a rule violation would be a huge loss.

"Hu Yanli, keep your eyes wide open! I, Tang San, will clear every obstacle in my path and become the champion of this year's Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament!"

"When that time comes, let's see what you have to say then!"

With these words, Tang San walked off the arena, not caring what Hu Yanli might say in response.
