"Xiaogang, what's wrong with you? What exactly happened?" Flender asked with concern. He placed his right hand on his shoulder, his eyes devoid of any disgust.
"It's nothing." The old friend's concern sent a warm current through Yu Xiaogang's heart. In this world, Flender was probably the only one who truly cared about him.
"Oh my, Xiaogang, you're worrying me to death! Just say it, how did you end up like this for no reason? Tell me quickly, who bullied you? I'll help you take revenge." Flender asked anxiously.
Yu Xiaogang wiped away his tears and prevaricated, "Didn't I tell you last time that I wanted to ask Bibi Dong about the secret of twin spirits? I didn't expect that just after leaving the borders of the Heaven Dou Empire, before I even left Xiaotang Mountain, I was robbed by bandits. They didn't even leave me a single spirit tool carriage. I was exhausted and hungry, traveling in the wind and sleeping in the open for a whole month before I reached Spirit City."
"Teacher, could it have been done by Spirit Hall?" Tang San noticed the loophole in Yu Xiaogang's words. Once outside the Heaven Dou Empire, it was already under the jurisdiction of Spirit City. Furthermore, during the Spirit Master Tournament, Spirit Hall would not allow bandits in their jurisdiction unless those bandits were arranged by Spirit Hall themselves.
"Impossible, I understand Bibi Dong's character. She would disdain using such methods." Yu Xiaogang hurriedly denied it. In fact, it wasn't that he hadn't thought about telling everyone the truth, but during that time in Cell No. 11, Avici Hell had used a mirror crystal to record the images of him fighting with knives against the scar-faced leader and more than ten criminals.
Plus the words'Scar-face was here' on his buttocks, once he revealed the secret of Avici Hell, he would be greeted by a live broadcast to everyone. Spirit Hall would spread his glorious deeds from Cell No. 11 throughout the entire Douluo Continent in the shortest possible time.
"Teacher, then let's talk about tomorrow's match!" Seeing that Yu Xiaogang didn't want to tell the truth, Tang San chose not to expose him. What he cared about most right now was the Martial Soul Palace Team.
"Hmm, tell me about the matches these past few days."
The next day, the sun was bright.
The championship match between the Martial Soul Palace Team and the Shrek Team was held as scheduled.
"What's wrong with that Yu Xiaogang?" In the Shrek resting area, the white-haired and white-bearded Yu Xiaogang caught Qian Renxue's attention. It had been a month since they last met, how did he go gray-haired for no reason? And he looked very strange.
Xiao Se curled his lips, leaned into Qian Renxue's ear, and whispered a few words. The latter's pretty face flushed red, and she almost laughed out loud. She had also heard of Avici Hell; it was no exaggeration to call it a small Slaughter City. Especially that Cell No. 11, it made countless criminals tremble with fear.
"Xiao Se, what are you two talking about?" Ning Fengzhi brought Sword Douluo over. Since the match hadn't started yet, they hadn't sat in the main VIP seats.
"Oh, nothing, it's just that Brother Xue was asking me earlier why Yu Xiaogang turned white-haired in a month. I curiously probed Yu Xiaogang's physical condition and discovered some rather interesting things." Xiao Se replied.
"Interesting things?" A look of interest flashed across Ning Fengzhi's eyes. Through Sword Douluo, he deeply understood Xiao Se's unfathomability. There weren't many things that could make him feel interested. He immediately asked, "May I ask what it is?"
"Do you really want to hear it?" Xiao Se revealed a mysterious smile.
Ning Fengzhi nodded.
Xiao Se stood up and beckoned, signaling him to lean his ear over. The latter understood, and after hearing Xiao Se's whispered account, Ning Fengzhi's expression couldn't have been more colorful.
After a while, Ning Fengzhi's face twitched. He exchanged a few casual pleasantries and sat back at the main VIP platform.
"Fengzhi, what did he say just now?" Sword Douluo was puzzled.
"He just said that there are the Auras of no less than sixteen different people on Yu Xiaogang." Fengzhi said, his mouth twitching.
"Sixteen people's Auras?" Sword Douluo was still confused. His vast mental force radiated outward, scanning Yu Xiaogang, but he found that apart from being physically weak and having a poor mental state, there was nothing wrong with him.
"Apart from his physical weakness and seemingly great mental trauma, I didn't perceive anything else different." Sword Douluo shook his head.
Ning Fengzhi's mouth twitched again, and he leaned into Sword Douluo's ear to whisper a few words. The latter's expression stiffened, and his mental force subconsciously scanned Yu Xiaogang's rear.
"What did you say to Ning Fengzhi just now?" Qian Renxue looked at Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, whose expressions were extremely colorful, and asked Xiao Se with a smile.
"Haven't you already guessed it?" Xiao Se said with a smile.
On the other side, Yu Xiaogang also noticed the gazes of Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Qian Renxue, and Xiao Se. His heart sank to the bottom. He always felt that his secret had been seen through, but unfortunately, there was no evidence.
But it didn't matter. As long as his DiscipleTang San defeated the Martial Soul Palace Team, all rumors against him would stop. For this, he had brought out his trump card: the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill.
"The match begins." On the competition arena, following the referee's order, this match, which would determine the champion of the Continental AdvancedSpirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, kicked off.
"Seven-in-One Fusion Skill."
Following Tang San's sharp shout, Xiao Wu, Tai Long, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Ning Rongrong lined up in a straight line, standing behind Tang San. While summoning their Spirits, they placed their hands on the back of the person in front of them in turn. With the injection of spirit power, the spirit power of the latter six poured into Tang San's body.
Tang San's body rose into the air, his entire Aura surged, and his spirit power was shockingly raised to the Spirit Saint level. Black light surged in his hands, and a golden hammer over a zhang long appeared out of thin air in his hand.
The arena was in an uproar.
"That is the Spirit Avatar. And it is the Spirit Avatar of the Clear Sky Hammer." On the VIP platform, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but exclaim when he saw this scene.
"Isn't it just a Spirit Avatar? What's there to be so surprised about?" Grandfather Ju Hua on the side was full of disdain. If they knew the Holy Maiden's strength later, their jaws would probably drop in shock.
Seeing Grandfather Ju Hua being disrespectful to his Sect Master, Sword Douluo frowned and was about to get up, but was stopped by Ning Fengzhi's gaze. Bibi Dong's strength was unparalleled in the world, and this was not an empty rumor. If he made a move because of this small matter, it would likely give them an excuse to wipe them out.
Endure!
If you don't endure small things, you will mess up big plans!
Compared to the surprise of Ning Fengzhi and others, the team belonging to Hu Liena on the competition stage did not show any surprise, as if they had expected it long ago. They released their respective Spirits unhurriedly.
Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Red.
A shocking scene appeared. They saw six spirit rings rising from Hu Liena's feet: Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, which were terrifying and beyond common sense.
And the seventh spirit ring that descended from the sky was an incomparably terrifying red, a genuine hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.
Xie Yue and Yan were not simple either. Both of them released six spirit rings: two Yellow, two Purple, and two Black. As the Golden Generation of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong naturally wouldn't ignore them. She had also selected an Immortal Herb for them from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Although they didn't reach the Immortal grade, they fully stimulated their potential. In addition to cultivating the required course of the Martial Soul Palace Team, the "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record", their cultivation, which was originally at the Spirit King level at this time, had been raised to the Spirit Emperor level.
And the other four supporting members of the Martial Soul Palace Team had also entered the Spirit King level because they had been cultivating the "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record" since childhood.
A terrifying Spirit Saint with a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, two Spirit Emperors with the best spirit ring configurations, and four Spirit Kings—it could be said that this match had no suspense anymore.
