Su Yan appeared just as suddenly as he had vanished, holding a longsword in his hand. Not a single drop of blood stained the blade, showing everyone just how incredible his mastery of the sword had become. Seeing this, Tang Hao was filled with a burning rage, but he did not dare to stop for even a second. Instead, he pushed himself even harder, accelerating toward a city far off in the distance.
He regretted his actions terribly. He realized he had been careless and should never have stayed in the open sky where he was such an easy target. Su Yan, however, did not continue the chase. He saw that Tang Hao was now completely crippled and decided to leave any further revenge to Ah Yin or Qian Renxue. Su Yan flew down to the ground and picked up Tang Hao's severed left leg, which still contained a valuable Spirit Bone.
Su Yan posted a picture of the leg to the group chat. He typed, "That idiot Tang Hao! I followed him all the way here and found him flying slowly through the air like he didn't have a care in the world. I was actually planning to go easy and let you guys win the bet, but the brainless way he tried to run away showed he didn't take me seriously at all!".
The chat immediately erupted. Yanzi is not a Swallow laughed, "Hahaha!!". Group Member Number Nine added, "It is very sad for the rest of you. You really did celebrate too early".
Loves Eating Carrots joined in, "I am dying of laughter! Bibi Dong, oh Bibi Dong, you had a real chance, but you just couldn't keep your mouth shut!". Ah Yin added, "Su Yan says thank you for the reminder. He almost couldn't be bothered to chase him until you spoke up". Bibi Dong could only respond with question marks.
Inside the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Bibi Dong was completely stunned. She couldn't understand how Su Yan had caught up to Tang Hao so quickly. How could someone so young possess such terrifying speed?. Hu Liena was also shocked.
She looked at her teacher and asked, "Teacher, is that really Tang Hao's leg?". Bibi Dong frowned, trying to find another explanation. She typed into the chat, "Su Yan, you are not trying to trick us, are you?".
Liu Erlong added, "No way! Tang Hao had a huge head start. How did you catch him just like that?". Bo Saixi agreed, saying, "That speed makes no sense. You need to prove it to us!". However, I Am an Orphan defended him, "I don't think Su Yan would lie. He is a transmigrator; he wouldn't be a sore loser".
I Am a Little Bird noted, "I have to say, the time Su Yan was gone was even shorter than we thought. That speed is definitely illogical". Ma Xiaotao was frustrated, "Tang Hao blew up eight spirit rings to escape! Are you playing us for fools?". Cat in the Shadows simply said, "You guys just don't want to accept that you lost"
Elsewhere, Ling Yuan, Xiao Wu, and Ah Yin stood together under a tree. Ling Yuan looked very serious as she asked the others, "Do you two really believe Su Yan caught him that fast?". Xiao Wu answered firmly, "I believe in Su Yan". Ah Yin nodded as well, "I believe him too". Ling Yuan felt like she was talking to a wall. "I am trying to talk about logic here! Logically, do you think this is even possible?".
"Impossible," a deep voice said. It was the Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming, standing nearby. But before the giant ape could say more—Bang!—the Little Monkey jumped up and knocked him over with a single punch. The Titan Giant Ape saw stars and cried out, "Sister Xiao Wu!". He didn't dare fight back.
He had mocked the Little Monkey for being small before, but after seeing the monkey fight Tang Hao, he knew its strength was even greater than a 100,000-year-old spirit beast like himself.
Xiao Wu felt awkward. "Er Ming... Little Monkey, can you please stop hitting him?". Suddenly, the six terrifying red spirit rings beneath the Little Monkey's feet lit up. Er Ming was so scared he scrambled away, shouting, "The Little Monkey is trying to kill the big monkey!". Xiao Wu was about to step in when she saw Su Yan descending from the sky. "Su Yan, you're back!" she cried.
Just then, a heavy, thunderous voice echoed through the area. It was the Sky Azure Bull Python, Da Ming, who had finally arrived. "Er Ming? Sister Xiao Wu?" he called out. Er Ming ran to him, crying, "Big Brother, save me!". He thought the Little Monkey was about to attack him for real. In truth, the monkey had only activated its power because Su Yan had returned using the Somersault Cloud.
"Who dares to hurt my family!" the Sky Azure Bull Python roared. The Little Monkey didn't back down. It flew into the air and looked at the two giants with a nod of satisfaction. Then, it charged forward and hit the Sky Azure Bull Python with a powerful Cannon Fist. The massive snake-like body was knocked back dozens of meters.
"Don't you dare hurt my Big Brother!" the Titan Giant Ape roared. He was angry now. He had let the Little Monkey bully him, but he wouldn't stand by while his brother was attacked. Both giant beasts charged at the Little Monkey. In response, the Little Monkey's spirit rings flared, and its body grew until it was twenty meters tall, fighting both of them at once.
Xiao Wu shouted through the falling rain, "Stop it! All of you, stop fighting right now!". Ling Yuan looked on in shock. "Su Yan, the Little Monkey can actually grow that big?". Su Yan sighed with a bit of regret. "The Little Monkey can grow much bigger than that. Actually, I can grow bigger too... I mean, Tang Hao wasn't strong enough to make me show off everything I can do". Ling Yuan gave Su Yan a very strange look.
Xiao Wu grabbed Su Yan's arm. "Su Yan, please make them stop!". Su Yan just stayed calm. "It is just a little roughhousing. Don't worry about them". He then took out Tang Hao's severed leg and used his spirit power to pull the Spirit Bone out of it.
He posted another picture to the chat: "Clear Sky Sect Legacy Spirit Bone. It is over 80,000 years old and in great condition". I Am a Little Bird sighed, "Your Holiness, it's over. Su Yan is back and he has the bone to prove it".
Loves Eating Carrots laughed again, "Bibi Dong, you really did it this time. If you hadn't talked, he would have forgotten, and you would have won your prize". The Nine Treasures Little Princess and Yanzi is not a Swallow were both laughing so hard they couldn't stop.
Su Yan typed, "Don't listen to the rabbit. I didn't forget. I was just giving Tang Hao some space because he blew up those eight rings. I was avoiding his 'sharp edge,' you know?". The chat filled with more question marks. Group Member Number Nine repeated, "Avoiding his sharp edge? Sure, Su Yan".
Back at the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Bibi Dong stood up and shouted in anger. "Damn it! My System spirit ring! My prize!". She was filled with regret. Hu Liena looked just as disappointed. "We were too careless. We should never celebrate before the match is actually over".
Bo Saixi was also furious on Sea God Island. She had been so close to her dream of Divinity. "Bibi Dong! You ruined everything!" she muttered through gritted teeth. At the Blue Tyrant Academy, Liu Erlong sighed. Her chance at a System spirit ring was gone. "Old Woman, why couldn't you just wait?" she typed.
In the future world of Douluo 2, Ma Xiaotao was stamping her feet in rage. "Idiot! Bibi Dong, you are such an idiot! No wonder your Spirit Hall eventually lost. You have no patience!". She was so sad because she had been so close to getting the power she needed to defeat her rival. She and the others continued to blame Bibi Dong for their loss.
Inside her palace, Bibi Dong was so angry she smashed a jade mirror on the floor. "These bastards!" she screamed. "They were all happy and lining up for their prizes a minute ago, and now they all want to blame me!". Hu Liena just sighed quietly. She knew that since her teacher was the one who spoke up first, she had to take the blame.
