"No, impossible!"
Yue Guan slipped and nearly fell.
He couldn't understand, he really couldn't understand!
This was his eighth soul skill, amplified by his seventh!
Even Zhongli's first soul skill couldn't break it?
Aside from his ninth soul skill, this was Yue Guan's most powerful attack.
He found it hard to accept this result.
"I don't believe it!"
Collapse, his family was in despair!
The Title Douluos hidden in the shadows swallowed hard, their faces blank.
Tang Hao looked at his right hand, questioning his existence.
Could his hammer really harm this person in the slightest?
Even using the Great Sumeru Hammer, it would be difficult to break through Zhongli's defense, right?
A ruthless glint flashed in Yue Guan's eyes as he struggled to break through Zhongli's "first soul skill" with his full power!
"Ninth Soul Skill: Chrysanthemums Wither, Wounds Cover the Ground, Fallen Flowers Break Hearts!"
Just then, Zhong Li moved. He stood still, his right foot slightly retreating, the spear in his hand raised above his head, aimed at Yue Guan.
The next moment, the spear in his hand was like a bullet fired from a gun, or a shooting star streaking across the sky, its brilliance containing immense power.
"Wounds..."
Yue Guan had just finished shouting the name of the soul skill when he felt an aura of death rush towards him, making him shudder.
Fortunately, he also released his ninth soul skill at this moment.
The Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum materialized, transforming into countless moon blades, swirling around like a storm. He quickly controlled these moon blades to attack the spear.
"Clang... clang... clang..."
The moon blades struck the spear, making a sound like metal clashing, but without causing the spear to stop or deviate in the slightest.
"You'll die!"
At the critical moment, a figure appeared beside Yue Guan, grabbing him and deflecting him from the spear's trajectory.
This person was none other than Ghostly Demon, a titled Douluo of the agility-based attack type, so he still possessed this much reaction speed.
The premise was that Zhongli wasn't taking it seriously.
"He survived..."
Yue Guan was sweating profusely. If it weren't for his good brother Ghostly Demon pulling him back, he might have truly died!
With a "boom!", a hundred-meter-wide crater appeared not far behind Yue Guan and Ghostly Demon, its depth reaching tens of meters.
Yue Guan and Ghostly Demon slowly turned around, and upon seeing this scene, they were drenched in sweat!
Even a casual strike was so terrifying; what was the point of sparring!
"Hmm~"
Zhongli shook his head after seeing this scene, muttering, "A little too much power. The land of this continent isn't as solid as I imagined."
Fortunately, his voice wasn't loud, and everyone was still in shock, so no one heard him.
"Elder Ju, let's begin the next round."
In a sparring match, according to the "round" system, the two had only completed one round.
Yue Guan attacked, Zhongli defended.
Zhongli attacked, Yue Guan went first, using attack instead of defense.
Yue Guan wanted to attack first, but Zhong Li's first attack came.
In total, it was only one round.
A round is only complete when there's a back-and-forth exchange.
Hearing this, Yue Guan fell silent. If it weren't for Zhong Li's expression, which remained unchanged, he would have suspected the other party was trying to kill him!
Did he have some misunderstanding about a level 95 Title Douluo?
This was just a friendly spar!
If it weren't for his good brother, he would already be lying on the ground.
Continuing the spar…
"I'll die!"
Thinking this, Yue Guan shook his head, his hands waving wildly like fans, and said, "Your Majesty the Martial God's martial arts are divine; I am no match for you. You have won this spar."
Continuing the spar would only be insane!
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Martial God. I am Elder Gui Mei of the Spirit Hall, title: Gui."
"Yue Guan is no match for Your Majesty. You have won this round."
Gui Mei cupped his hands towards Zhong Li and said sincerely.
Even if the two of them were tied together and possessed a Spirit Fusion Technique, they still wouldn't be a match for this Martial God Douluo.
"Hmm~"
After just one round, Yue Guan conceded defeat!
Zhong Li stroked his chin. Was this Title Douluo a bit too weak?
Keep in mind, he hadn't used the power of a demon god, only the power of a "human," that is, the power of "Zhong Li."
He only used less than a tenth of his human power, and this level 95 Title Douluo conceded?
Azure Bull Python, Titan Giant Ape: Don't you know how we were instantly killed?
For two 100,000-year-old soul beasts, dealing with a Title Douluo like Yue Guan was a piece of cake, a breeze.
Yet they too couldn't last a single round!
Is it possible that you (Zhong Li) have some misunderstanding about human power?
That's actually the case.
Since arriving in Douluo Continent, the only time Zhong Li truly fought a human was against Dugu Bo.
Keep in mind, Dugu Bo was the "weakest" Title Douluo; defeating him was a piece of cake.
He, disguised as "level 98," should actually appear to be "level 98."
Dugu Bo cannot be used as a reference. What a level 98 Douluo should look like is something Zhongli needs to understand and imagine for himself.
After all, he has never seen a level 98 Title Douluo.
His slightly off-target understanding has even left Yue Guan with a psychological shadow.
Of course, Yue Guan wasn't the only one with a psychological shadow.
Everyone present, except Paimon, was shocked.
Paimon: You know Gu Yun Pavilion, right?
Zhongli built it!
"Since that's the case, this sparring is terminated. Being able to win by a single move against you, Chrysanthemum Douluo, is truly due to the difference in soul power."
The other party has already admitted defeat; is he supposed to continue fighting? He
should have some martial virtue!
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Zhongli continued, "Sparring with Elder Chrysanthemum has been truly beneficial."
"Even I feel my heart pounding."
"It was truly a thrilling battle."
Hearing this, everyone's expressions froze, their faces filled with astonishment.
A lucky break?
Many benefits?
A thrilling battle?
A thrilling battle?
Everyone was filled with questions, and Yue Guan's face flushed red with indignation.
The Martial God was being overly modest!
Even a slight movement had already pushed him, Yue Guan, to his limit.
Seeing that Zhong Li's expression remained unchanged, Yue Guan finally believed that Zhong Li wasn't mocking him.
Hu Liena, Tang San, and the others exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes filled with a burning desire to become stronger.
So powerful! A casual strike possessed such might.
If he were to unleash his full power, wouldn't he be able to blast open the gates of Heaven Dou City?
Wait, why did they even have such thoughts?
Time passed, and Yue Guan and the others didn't linger in Heaven Dou City. After their "sparring," they bid farewell to Zhong Li and began their journey back to the city.
The others did the same, returning to their respective factions to report the incident.
They had initially thought Zhong Li was just a Title Douluo with a 100,000-year soul ring, but they hadn't expected his soul power level to be so high.
Truly terrifying.
Zhongli and Paimon returned to Tiandou City with "Xue Qinghe." The so-called "guard" looked at Zhongli with even greater respect.
"How many years can a level 98 expert live? Can Xiao San survive until his day?"
