At this moment, faced with the sudden anomaly unfolding outside, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were both filled with curiosity.
Thus, upon hearing Jing Hongchen's command, they immediately followed him out.
The three of them quickly stepped into the courtyard and looked up toward the source of the disturbance—the skies beyond the city.
The next instant, when their gazes pierced through the distorted night sky shaped by Delta Stream and clearly beheld that majestic figure coiled in the heavens—
Even Jing Hongchen, a Titled Douluo who had experienced countless storms in life, couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.
"Th-this… what kind of Spirit Beast is that?!" Xiao Hongchen's voice trembled uncontrollably. "This terrifying phenomenon… did it cause all of this? What an overwhelming aura!"
Meng Hongchen's face had already turned pale with fear. She instinctively clutched Jing Hongchen's sleeve, her eyes filled with unease.
"Grandfather… do you know what it is? I've studied so many Spirit Beast records, but there's nothing like this!"
Jing Hongchen took a deep breath, forcing himself to remain calm, though the shock in his eyes was impossible to hide.
Slowly, he shook his head.
"I don't know. In all my years, I've never seen—or even heard—of a Dragon-type Spirit Beast like this."
He paused, his voice growing heavier.
"But one thing is certain… this creature is extraordinary. Its level of power has already surpassed conventional understanding. It may even… exceed those Vicious Beasts listed in the rankings."
His gaze locked firmly onto the distant Mega Rayquaza, filled with caution, solemnity—and a trace of burning curiosity.
Without turning back, he issued a firm command:
"You two, return inside immediately. Do not step out again. I will go and investigate this myself."
"Grandfather!" Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen both called out instinctively.
They wanted to follow.
But seeing the unprecedented seriousness on Jing Hongchen's face, they understood the danger far exceeded their imagination.
Suppressing their curiosity, they nodded.
"Yes, Grandfather! Please be careful!"
Jing Hongchen gave a brief nod.
In the next instant—
Nine spirit rings rose beneath his feet, radiating terrifying power.
A pair of massive metallic wings unfolded from his back, and in a flash, he shot into the sky like a streak of light, heading straight toward Mega Rayquaza's location.

Meanwhile…
Liu Yuan, the true instigator of all this chaos, was having a completely different experience.
Standing within the small forest, he gazed up at the divine Mega Rayquaza—an existence capable of shaking the world itself—yet his attention was focused entirely inward, anxiously communicating with the System.
"Is it done yet, System?! This commotion is already huge! If this drags on, the Titled Douluo of the capital will be here any second!"
He could already sense multiple powerful auras rapidly approaching.
That pressure was no joke.
[Ding! Mission complete!]
[Evaluation: Perfect! The Host's high-profile arrival has successfully left an indelible impression on all powerhouses within the capital!]
[Distributing rewards… Congratulations! You have obtained: God-Bestowed Spirit Ring (Rayquaza-exclusive random skill) ×1!]
The moment the notification ended—
A vast, pure torrent of energy erupted within Liu Yuan's sea of consciousness, surging violently through every inch of his body.
His spirit power began to rise explosively once again!
At the same time, a brand-new spirit ring condensed above him.
Deep black.
Violent.
Ancient.
Clearly a 30,000-year spirit ring!
Even without knowing his exact rank, Liu Yuan could feel it clearly—
His strength had taken another massive leap.
"Alright… what about the skill?"
Suppressing his excitement, he immediately examined the new ability.
---
[Second Spirit Ability — Hurricane!]
[Effect: Summons a devastating storm filled with destructive wind energy. Under "Delta Stream," its power increases and it will never miss.]
---
"Hurricane…"
A sharp gleam flashed through Liu Yuan's eyes.
A perfect match.
Rayquaza was both Dragon and Flying-type—this was a true core ability.
And with Delta Stream boosting it?
Its destructive potential would be terrifying.
"Perfect… let's test it."
With a single thought, Liu Yuan issued the command through his connection.
"Mega Rayquaza—use Hurricane!"
---
ROAR—!!!
The divine dragon in the sky let out a world-shaking roar.
Its golden eyes blazed.
Instantly—
The already chaotic sky transformed once again!
Endless winds gathered, forming a colossal emerald storm that swallowed the heavens.
Inside it, compressed wind blades screamed like wailing ghosts, slicing through everything in their path.
RUMBLE—!!!
The storm surged toward a distant, uninhabited hill.
Wherever it passed—
The earth was stripped away.
Trees were uprooted and shredded mid-air.
Rocks crumbled like sand.
Within mere seconds—
The hill was completely flattened.
Gone.
Reduced to nothing.
---
Liu Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad."
Still…
A trace of greed surfaced in his heart.
"If I can get Dragon Ascent next… or something like Swords Dance…"
His gaze grew brighter.
"Rayquaza's movepool is insane…"
Flamethrower. Thunderbolt. Ice Beam. Earth Power…
"If I unlock all of them, my combat coverage will be ridiculous."
His anticipation for future check-ins surged.
---
Meanwhile…
Jing Hongchen was having a much worse time.
Rushing through the sky at top speed, he had already closed the distance significantly—
But suddenly—
The sky ahead darkened.
A massive emerald storm cyclone rapidly expanded before his eyes.
"Oh no!"
His pupils shrank violently.
The 100,000-year ninth spirit ring on his body flared to life!
At the same time, his top-tier flying soul tool activated at full power, attempting to resist the incoming storm.
But—
It was useless.
Absolutely useless.
WHOOSH—!!!
The overwhelming force swallowed him instantly.
Despite being a Titled Douluo—
Despite his powerful equipment—
He had zero resistance.
In the blink of an eye—
Jing Hongchen was blown away like a leaf in a hurricane, sent flying helplessly into the distance!
