The battle between Zhongli and Yue Guan spread throughout the Douluo Continent in a very short time.
Whether it was the Heaven Dou Empire or the Star Luo Empire, anyone with a bit of power had heard of Zhongli's "legend."
Zhongli hadn't even set foot on the continent yet, but his story was already circulating throughout Douluo Continent.
Of course, the common people, toiling in the fields, knew nothing of these things and didn't care.
They only cared about their harvest and whether they should eat a little more for their next meal.
The common people's demands were so simple and plain.
This was because they hadn't had enough to eat; when hungry, they only thought about the next meal.
The nobles and powerful Soul Masters, on the other hand, only had the leisure to care about such things when they were well-fed.
How could these powerful forces not care when a terrifying level 98 existence suddenly appeared?
He had defeated a veteran Title Douluo powerhouse with a single blow, and he was one of the most representative elders of the Spirit Hall.
No, it should be two of the most representative elders of the Spirit Hall!
It's important to understand that if it weren't for Gui Mei's intervention, Yue Guan might have truly died from that attack.
This was merely Zhong Li's "second soul skill."
Yue Guan and Gui Mei are the most representative elders of the Spirit Hall, as they are the Pope's right-hand men.
Furthermore, their spirit symbols are also depicted on the Elder's Token, which explains their fame.
The dragon, sword, and hammer represent the three upper sects respectively.
The dragon is the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The hammer is the Clear Sky Hammer.
As for why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is represented by a sword, this stems from the sect war.
The sword and bone symbolized the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's emergence, with the sword slightly surpassing the bone, securing the title of one of the three upper sects for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
His spirit, the Seven Kill Sword, naturally became the representative symbol on the Elder's Token.
Another reason is that none of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's direct descendants are Title Douluos.
Each symbol carved on the Elder's Token represents a powerful Title Douluo!
Therefore, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is unworthy to be displayed on the Elder's Token.
Chrysanthemum and Ghost represent the Moon and the Ghost respectively.
The name of Martial God Douluo resounds throughout the entire Douluo Continent!
Even the eccentric Dugu Bo, the Jade Phosphorus Douluo, came out to support Zhong Li, saying that in a one-on-one situation, no Title Douluo could be a match for Martial God Douluo.
He even said that even the former Two Yue (Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen) were no match for Martial God Douluo.
Everyone's eyes twitched at this Zhong Li fanboy; if they weren't outmatched, they would have argued back.
Martial God Douluo is indeed powerful, but the former Two Yue were level 99 peerless Douluos!
They were only one step away from becoming legendary gods.
Yet Dugu Bo, this "Zhong Li fanboy," said that the Two Yue weren't even a level 98 opponent?
That's going too far!
Even if you have a good relationship with Zhong Li, you shouldn't say such irrational things, right?
A simple investigation would reveal the relationship between Dugu Bo and Zhong Li.
It was Dugu Bo who brought Zhong Li into Heaven Dou City.
At the same time, Dugu Bo also gave his Dugu Mansion to Zhongli!
Who would believe the two had no connection?
Dugu Bo: To be honest, no one believes me!
"You wait and see, time will prove everything!"
After saying this, Dugu Bo disappeared.
Some said he went into seclusion, others said he was too ashamed to show his face, so
he made up stories. Of course, opinions vary.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was still in its council hall.
Ning Fengzhi sat at the head of the table, with Chen Xin and Gu Rong sitting to his left and right respectively.
The vast council hall was completely silent; you could hear a pin drop.
After a while, Ning Fengzhi frowned, turned to Gu Rong, and said, "Uncle Gu, does His Majesty the Martial God truly possess level ninety-eight strength?"
When this news reached the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi was somewhat incredulous and couldn't recover for a long time.
"Absolutely true."
After saying this, Gu Rong paused, as if he had thought of something, and his expression became somewhat strange. He continued, "Actually, I have some doubts. He's not level 98!"
"???"
This statement stunned Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi. He had said it was absolutely true before, but now he was saying that Zhong Li wasn't level 98. What exactly did Gu Rong mean by this?
"Old bones, what do you mean by that?"
"Could it be that the Martial God Douluo lied about his soul power level when he reported it?"
"His true strength is only ninety-seven..."
Before Chen Xin could finish speaking, Gu Rong waved his hand and said, "No!"
"I suspect he's more than ninety-eight!"
"He's very likely at the peak of ninety-eight, or even ninety-nine!"
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin: "..."
"You and I both know Yue Guan's strength."
"He went all out during the sparring!"
"But do you know what?"
"Even when Yue Guan went all out, he couldn't break through the defense of the Martial God Douluo's first soul skill!"
"There's another point that others might not have seen clearly, but I saw it clearly!"
"His so-called second soul skill, the one that defeated Yue Guan, was just a casual attack!"
"His second soul ring only flashed after the attack appeared; it was too fake..."
Gu Rong said, still somewhat shaken.
He was known as the world's number one defensive titled Douluo; if he were in Yue Guan's shoes, he wouldn't have been able to withstand that attack!
This was just a casual strike; if Zhongli had been even slightly more serious…
Just thinking about it sent chills down Gu Rong's spine, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi remained silent.
Especially seeing Gu Rong's lingering fear, they became even more silent.
Just how strong was a level 99 expert? Chen Xin had heard descriptions of them.
Because his father had challenged such an expert!
You must know, his father was a terrifying level 97 existence.
After challenging that one, although he broke through to level 98, he didn't live long, and…
Judging from the level of Zhongli's casual strike, he really didn't seem like a level 98 expert, but rather like a level 99 peerless Douluo!
After a while, Ning Fengzhi seemed to have thought of something and said, "The Martial God Douluo is powerful, but he won't do any harm to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xin and Gu Rong thought for a moment and nodded.
With such a "harmonious" relationship between the two sides, perhaps they can recruit Zhongli into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the future. The stronger he becomes, the better, right?
Why think so much?
Other forces should be the ones worried.
While many forces were in a state of chaos, Zhongli, Paimon, and "Xue Qinghe" appeared in a restaurant.
This restaurant belonged to "Xue Qinghe," and naturally, private rooms were reserved.
"Guest Elder Zhongli, Little Paimon, this restaurant's specialty is 'thirty bowls and you can leave the city.'"
"Three bowls…wait, thirty bowls?"
Paimon blinked, looking at "Xue Qinghe" in disbelief.
She might be naive, but she wasn't stupid!
What normal Soul Master could drink thirty bowls of wine and still leave the city without using their Soul Power?
Wouldn't their stomach bloat?
