Chapter 558 Tuoba Xi's Provocation!
As the eight sects participating in the Seven Great Sects Tournament made their appearance, Bibi Dong's gaze fell upon Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen beside her, as well as Tang San not far away.
At the same time, Qian Renxue, as the Arbitration Elder, also turned her gaze to Xuan Mo behind Ning Fengzhi, but Ning Rongrong noticed immediately and pulled Xuan Mo behind her.
"Hmph!"
Seeing this, Qian Renxue didn't pursue the matter further.
However, this cold snort was noticed by Bibi Dong. So Bibi Dong turned her head in the direction of the sound and met Xuan Mo's gaze.
In the instant their eyes met, Xuan Mo felt as if a huge wave was crashing down on him, followed by a huge spider phantom that appeared, about to devour him.
He was startled, but before he could make a move, the Ice and Fire Dragon King had already disintegrated it for him.
"Young Mo, her spiritual power has already reached divinity."
"If I remember correctly, this aura containing divinity seems to belong to that Rakshasa girl from the God Realm."
Hearing the Ice and Fire Dragon King's words, Xuan Mo wasn't surprised at all.
After all, judging by the timeline, Bibi Dong had indeed begun receiving the Rakshasa God's inheritance at this point.
Seeing that Xuan Mo, a junior only at level eighty, had actually blocked her spiritual attack, a hint of surprise flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.
Although it wasn't at full strength, it was definitely not something a level eighty Soul Master could withstand. She hadn't expected that in just five years, that little guy who was only a Soul King in the Advanced Soul Master Competition had grown to this level.
Thinking about how he would interfere with her plans in the future, the coldness in Bibi Dong's eyes vanished in an instant…
At the same time, Hu Yanxiang suddenly launched an attack on Tang San. His aura as a Title Douluo pressed down on Tang San, "Hmph! Merely a Soul Emperor, how dare you stand on equal footing with us?"
Tang San, under Hu Yanxiang's pressure, appeared completely unmoved, causing Hu Yanxiang's face to darken.
However, just as Hu Yanxiang was about to make another move, four different yet harmonious Soul Douluo auras combined, launching a counterattack against Hu Yanxiang's attack.
Simultaneously, Yang Wudi, behind Tang San, spoke up.
"Sect Master Hu Yanxiang, how dare you underestimate our Sect Master's youth!"
Sensing the incomparably sharp spear light from Yang Wudi, Hu Yanxiang's expression flashed.
Clearly, he sensed a threat in the spear light emanating from Yang Wudi.
Bibi Dong, sitting in the main seat, noticed this atmosphere and withdrew her gaze from Xuan Mo. Just as she was about to intervene, a sharp aura intervened.
Although it was said to be an attempt to stop him, it was actually quite unreasonable, instantly breaking through Hu Yanxiang's aura.
"Sect Master Ning, what is Sword Douluo's intention?"
Hu Yanxiang's gaze immediately shifted to Chen Xin behind Ning Fengzhi, who seemed unaffected, and then back to Ning Fengzhi.
He knew that Chen Xin's intervention was simply at Ning Fengzhi's behest.
"Shouldn't that be a question for Sect Master Hu Yanxiang?"
Ning Fengzhi's refined expression vanished, replaced by a questioning tone. "Sect Master Hu Yanxiang said that Sect Master Tang is merely a Soul Emperor, and therefore unworthy to sit here. What about me, Ning? I am merely a Soul Saint, and it's difficult for me to advance further. So, according to Sect Master Hu Yanxiang's meaning, does that mean that I, and the entire Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, are unworthy to sit here?!"
Ning Fengzhi's words instantly stunned Hu Yanxiang.
Looking at the two Title Douluos, Sword and Bone, behind Ning Fengzhi, and feeling their combined pressure, cold sweat poured down Hu Yanxiang's back.
After all, such a serious accusation could be very difficult to handle. A poor response could lead to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's withdrawal or trigger a chain reaction from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School. The consequences would be far beyond what he could bear alone.
"Sect Leader Ning is joking. I..."
"Ahem!"
Just as Hu Yanxiang was about to say something, a voice came from Bibi Dong, interrupting him and simultaneously dissolving the Sword Bone Douluo's aura.
This move immediately made the Sword Bone Douluo wary.
At the same time, Bibi Dong coldly glanced at Hu Yanxiang and then ignored him. Instead, she said to Ning Fengzhi, "Sect Leader Ning, the competition is about to begin. Let's wait and see."
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly; his aggressive demeanor had vanished, and he had regained his previous refined elegance.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong rose from her seat, tapped her scepter slightly on the ground, and gathered her soul power at her lips, announcing, "I declare the Seven Great Sects Tournament officially open!"
As the competition officially began, the battle of the strongest started first.
However, looking at the arena below, sects like the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School, the Elephant Armor School, and the Holy Dragon School, which possessed Title Douluo-level experts, did not immediately step onto the stage.
Even the Tang Sect and the Dragon-Snake School, sects with combat power comparable to Title Douluo, only watched with a spectator's attitude.
On the contrary, the Fire Leopard School and the Wind Sword School, the two sects considered to be at the bottom, were already fighting below.
Several hours later, the Fire Leopard School was defeated.
However, just when everyone thought that the Dragon-Snake School would be the first to step onto the stage and fight the Tang Sect, Tuoba Xi, who had been sitting upright, suddenly moved.
He stood up and took a step in mid-air.
He was already standing on the arena.
"White Armored Earth Dragon, Possess!"
After completing the spirit possession, Tuoba Xi's nine spirit rings flashed continuously.
His gaze then swept over the seats of the various sect leaders, finally settling on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but he quickly looked away.
Although he also wanted to seize the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's position, the one hailed as the number one beast spirit in the world, the "Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon," he knew his limitations; he was no match for Yu Yuanzhen.
Therefore, he retreated and looked towards the Tang Clan.
He had noticed the threat posed by the Tang Clan when Yang Wudi targeted Hu Yanxiang.
This meant that in his competition for the top three sects, besides the Elephant Armor Clan, there was now the Tang Clan.
Therefore, he had to eliminate the Tang Clan's threat first to prevent their interference later.
However, he didn't speak out, but simply locked his gaze on the Tang Clan and roared with his spirit power.
"I am Tuoba Xi, the Sect Master of the Holy Dragon Sect! Which sect dares to challenge me!"
Yang Wudi and the others, seeing this, understood Tuoba Xi's meaning. They couldn't contain themselves any longer and looked at Tang San, about to ask him to volunteer for the battle, when a roar preceded them all!
