This Level 9 fixed-load spirit tool cannon shell represented the pinnacle of the Sun Moon Empire's spirit tool technology; among them, there were also Soul Engineers, and facing this masterpiece, not a single Soul Engineer could remain calm.
This national treasure, ever since it was created by Xu Yunxiao, no one had witnessed its power except for those who observed it during experiments; they had only heard of its formidable reputation.
Today, they would be the second group to witness its power, and how could that not excite these Soul Engineers?
"Rumble!" A roar came from the sky.
The Purple Emperor Sky Destroying Dragon's body soared high into the air, its dragon claws clenched into fists, and then it punched down; the somewhat 'tiny' Hell White Tiger in front of it had eyes filled with solemnity.
With a low growl, its massive body leaped up, and its tiger paws struck out; the aftershocks generated by their collision caused a group of Star Luo soldiers below, who couldn't dodge in time, to cough up blood repeatedly.
"Dai Tianfeng, your strength seems to have diminished a bit!"
After repelling the Hell White Tiger with a punch, Xu Yunxiao let out a long roar, followed closely behind, and with a raised hand, he struck out with a palm, sending a dragon shadow crashing towards the Hell White Tiger.
Everyone in Star Luo City, including the Star Luo powerhouses who were struggling to resist the bombardment of Lord Xie and the Fire Phoenix Soul Guidance Group, felt their hearts rise to their throats upon hearing Xu Yunxiao's words.
If even the Hell White Tiger lost, then who else could resist the Purple Emperor Sky Destroying Dragon?
In the Star Luo Royal Academy, on a tall treetop, a girl hugged her knees, gazing somewhat blankly at the battlefield in the sky.
The girl had fair skin and was delicate and lovely, but the fullness of her chest was already evident.
The young girl was Zhu Zhuqing; she had only recently awakened her Spirit, and her body had just begun to develop rapidly, yet the little kitten had already shown her extraordinary talent.
Her fiery figure, more developed than her peers, contrasted sharply with her extremely cold expression.
The battle's aftershocks, which everyone in the academy tried to avoid, seemed to be ignored by Zhu Zhuqing; despite being only eight or nine years old, she exuded a sense of lifelessness.
"Perhaps… dying like this wouldn't be so bad…"
"Boom!"
As if in response to Zhu Zhuqing's wish, a terrifying wave of light landed a hundred meters away from her; the aftershocks of a Titled Douluo-level explosion were not something a young girl, merely a Spirit Master, could withstand.
As Zhu Zhuqing was sent flying, a dark figure, swift as lightning, caught her in mid-air.
The one who caught Zhu Zhuqing was none other than Zhu Zhuyun.
Zhu Zhuyun was seven years older than Zhu Zhuqing, and at fifteen or sixteen years old, Zhu Zhuyun had fully matured.
The young woman was about 1.75 meters tall, with short black hair and skin as fair and smooth as mutton-fat jade; her tight leather outfit accentuated her extremely curvaceous figure.
Her appearance was eighty percent similar to Zhu Zhuqing's, but her eyes were sharper, not as cold as Zhu Zhuqing's, and she exuded more of an older sister's demeanor.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuyun, who usually treated Zhu Zhuqing coldly, uncharacteristically looked at her with anxiety.
"Zhuqing… Zhuqing…" In a daze, Zhu Zhuqing heard a familiar yet strange voice of concern from her memories.
"Sister…" Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes and saw the familiar figure; seeing the anxious expression on her face, her inner strength instantly shattered, and she cried as she threw herself into her arms, asking in pain, "Why… why are you doing this to me… why was I born into the Zhu family…"
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words in her arms, a look of pain flashed in Zhu Zhuyun's eyes.
Before their Spirit awakening, they were close sisters, and she loved her younger sister, who was seven years younger than her, very much, but after their Spirit awakening, everything changed.
In the Star Luo Empire, a place full of cruel competition, when you have no chance to resist, you can only accept it all.
In her opinion, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had no chance of winning; the age gap was simply too great, so great that even if they both had innate full spirit power, they wouldn't stand a chance, let alone the fact that they didn't; their innate spirit power was only at level seven and eight.
They were not much stronger than her and Dai Weisi.
"Zhuqing, come with me." Zhu Zhuyun thought of the scene she had just witnessed, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes; under Zhu Zhuqing's bewildered expression, she quietly led her away from the Star Luo Royal Academy… "Ninth Spirit Ability, Destructive Dragon Whale Break."
High in the sky, Xu Yunxiao's blood-red hundred-thousand-year spirit ring flickered.
A terrifying aura suddenly surged.
Behind the enormous Purple Emperor Sky Destroying Dragon, an even larger Dragon Marked Whale appeared.
As the aura intensified, countless gazes from all around looked over, staring in horror at the massive whale shadow that seemed to occupy the entire sky.
"Dai Tianfeng, this is the first time I've used my Ninth Spirit Ability since I broke through to Titled Douluo; I hope you can withstand this attack of mine."
"Roar!"
In the sky, a massive whale cry echoed, and the enormous Dragon Marked Whale descended towards the Hell White Tiger with immense force.
"Boom!!!"
Under the gaze of countless people, the giant white tiger instantly disintegrated, transforming back into two figures; the Star Luo Empress, due to spirit power exhaustion, collapsed directly into Dai Tianfeng's arms.
Dai Tianfeng was also not doing well; the brief confrontation had almost drained all the spirit power from his body; at this moment, if not for the belief in his heart supporting him, he would have likely already fallen to the ground.
"You lost!" Xu Yunxiao panted softly, looking at Dai Tianfeng and speaking calmly.
"I lost, but my Star Luo Empire will never admit defeat." Dai Tianfeng looked at Xu Yunxiao with a pale expression.
Behind him, the remaining sixty-plus Spirit Emperor, Spirit Saint, and Spirit Douluo powerhouses gathered, looking sternly at Xu Yunxiao, as well as Lord Xie and the Fire Phoenix Soul Guidance Group behind him.
"Why bother!"
Xu Yunxiao shook his head and asked seriously, "I will ask you all again, will you admit defeat?"
"Delusional!" Dai Tianfeng's tone remained firm, staring at Xu Yunxiao without yielding an inch.
"Fire!" Upon hearing this, Xu Yunxiao stared calmly at the Star Luo people and the Star Luo City below, speaking in a calm tone.
Under the wary gazes of the Star Luo Empire's people, three seconds later, Xu Yunxiao and those around him did not make a move, causing a hint of doubt to surface in their minds.
The next second, everyone saw a meteor rise into the sky from a distant mountain top.
"Fire!!!"
Three seconds earlier, after receiving the order, Wang Hu, with a baby bottle in his mouth, immediately and enthusiastically poured all his spirit power into it, activating the Level 9 spirit tool cannon.
In the blink of an eye, accompanied by roars, the Level 9 spirit tool cannon shell ascended, shooting into the distance in a parabolic trajectory; the cannon shell trailed various colored flames, like a meteor streaking across the sky, flying at supersonic speed, rapidly approaching Star Luo City.
"Heavens… in the sky…" Among the Star Luo people, a Spirit Douluo looked at the meteor rising into the sky in horror, his voice trembling.
However, no one mocked him at this moment, because they were all the same.
Although no one had witnessed a Level 9 spirit tool cannon shell before, even from a great distance, a sense of dread involuntarily arose in their hearts.
