Thud! Thud! Thud... Countless striking sounds echoed from the Soul Dueling Arena.
"Old Bone, are you even using any strength?"
"Nonsense, I'm already using every ounce of strength I have. On the other hand, Old Sword Man, are you acting?"
"How come it feels like you're not trying?"
"Bullshit, I've already used my full power."
"Is this the strength of a legendary Limit Douluo? Truly formidable!"
Chen Xin and Gu Rong were black and blue, each unleashing their strongest defensive Spirit Abilities.
They were resisting Jin E's fierce assault.
At the same time,
Gu Rong finally witnessed the prowess of a Limit Douluo.
Just moments ago,
he and Chen Xin had joined forces, giving it their all and using various Spirit Abilities and tactics, but in the end, it was all for nothing.
At this moment, he finally understood a saying.
Any tactic, in the face of absolute strength,
is as flimsy as paper.
It's completely useless.
Everything was shattered by a single punch from Titus Battle Angel, whose title was 'God of War'.
Especially that seemingly ordinary punch he took to the chest.
Good grief.
The force of the punch vibrated through him, making his internal organs ache.
And this was even with the opponent holding back.
Otherwise, he didn't dare imagine how powerful a full-strength punch from the opponent would be.
No wonder that old dragon from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan lost his life on the spot after taking three punches.
With this kind of power, an ordinary Titled Douluo would probably lose half their life after taking one punch.
"Oh, you actually managed to hold out for so long."
"Worth praising."
"But let's end it here."
Jin E's blood and qi surged, and powerful spirit power condensed in his right palm.
In the next second,
he flew up into mid-air.
Immediately after, he aimed his palm at the two below, unleashing a palm technique descending from the heavens!
"Let's give it our all! Old Bone, looks like we'll have to use our trump cards."
"Good!"
Chen Xin and Gu Rong reached an agreement instantly.
Exhausting all their spirit power,
each unleashed their strongest Spirit Ability.
"Ninth Spirit Ability! Bone-Transformed Divine Dragon!"
Bone-Transformed Divine Dragon.
This was Gu Rong's strongest Spirit Ability.
In the original work,
this move of Gu Rong's was hailed as a super-strong Spirit Ability capable of briefly resisting the attacks of a demi-god powerhouse.
Unsurprisingly,
this move of Gu Rong's temporarily blocked Jin E's palm technique descending from the heavens.
Seeing his attack being blocked,
a hint of shock flickered in Jin E's eyes.
He praised, "Fine defense!"
"Senior overpraises us."
"Old Sword Man, now's the time!" Gu Rong shouted a reminder.
Chen Xin was already prepared, his gaze sharp.
Facing Jin E, he once again unleashed his ninth Spirit Ability—God-Fiend Dual Slashes.
Unexpectedly,
Jin E smiled faintly: "Alright, I've played with you enough."
"This little skirmish should end now!"
As the words fell,
vast spirit power erupted from Jin E's body.
Jin E rushed forward quickly.
In an instant, he shattered Gu Rong's strongest defensive Spirit Ability, the Bone-Transformed Divine Dragon.
Although this move was hailed as being able to briefly resist a demi-god's attack, it was ultimately only brief.
Gu Rong was directly shocked into spitting out a mouthful of blood.
He was sent flying backward.
Watching Chen Xin swing his sword toward him, Jin E yawned.
He extended two fingers and easily caught the Seven Kill Sword between them.
"Not bad, compared to two years ago, your sword intent has improved quite a bit."
"But if you want to defeat this old man, you're still not good enough."
With a flick of his finger, he sent the Seven Kill Sword flying back.
Jin E kicked Chen Xin away and spoke slowly: "Alright, let this match end here!"
With Jin E's declaration,
the match came to an end.
The audience in the stands watched with dropped jaws.
They all clapped and cheered.
"Brilliant! Truly brilliant!"
"After living for so many years, I've finally seen a real soul duel match."
"Exactly. Compared to today's match, the ones I saw before were just children playing house."
"As expected of Titled Douluo, coming to this banquet was totally worth it!"
On the main seat,
Xue Ye was smiling so broadly his face was beaming.
He thought to himself,
the Imperial Family has truly recruited an expert this time.
From today onward, when facing certain countries, powers, or Sects with Titled Douluo...
the tables have turned!
Xue Xing quickly said to Xue Ye, "Congratulations, Royal Brother, our Tiandou Empire finally has a powerful Titled Douluo presiding over it."
"Qinghe has made a great contribution," Xue Ye remarked.
Xue Xing flattered him, "The Crown Prince only put in a little effort; it still relies on Royal Brother's wise decisions."
Hearing this,
Xue Ye was very pleased.
To the side, Ning Fengzhi listened to the conversation between Xue Ye and Xue Xing.
He felt very disdainful in his heart.
What do you mean by your Tiandou Empire having a powerful Titled Douluo presiding over it?
Senior Titus doesn't seem to have ever said he would join the Tiandou Empire.
However,
even if Senior Titus was only close to the Imperial Family, it was extremely disadvantageous for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
He had to find a way to establish a good relationship with Senior Titus.
But how should he win him over?
Wealth? Treasures?
Obviously, neither of these would work.
Suddenly,
his gaze fell upon Golden Crown, who was sitting with Xue Qinghe under the pseudonym 'Xing Daorong'.
A good idea immediately formed in his mind.
"Right, how could I forget about a marriage alliance."
"Rongrong is six years old this year, which seems to be around the same age as Senior Titus's grandson, Xing Daorong."
"If our two families become in-laws,"
"then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's status in the Tiandou Empire would be even greater than before."
"Qinghe's relationship with Xing Daorong seems very good; I can have him go and discuss it."
Thinking of this,
Ning Fengzhi's gaze toward his daughter Ning Rongrong was full of anticipation.
Of course,
having this idea
wasn't limited to Ning Fengzhi alone.
Xue Ye happened to have the same plan.
He knew well that this Titus Battle Angel was currently only close to the Imperial Family.
This meant that he could leave this ship at any time
to go to another ship.
Only by making the other party a member of the Imperial Family could he feel at ease.
Soon, his gaze also landed on Golden Crown.
Marriage alliances and bestowed marriages also came to mind.
If he remembered correctly, he seemed to have a young daughter named Snow Jade.
A princess for a hero.
A perfect match!
It just so happened that Xue Qinghe was close to this Xing Daorong.
He would let his eldest son speak about this marriage.
He believed there was a high probability of success.
Just like that, Golden Crown, who was chatting with Qian Renxue,
felt as if someone was watching him in the dark.
He scanned the surroundings but found no one looking at him.
Qian Renxue asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is something wrong with the surroundings?"
"I'm not sure, I just feel like someone is watching me."
"Is it my imagination?"
Golden Crown said, very puzzled.
Qian Renxue smiled slightly: "You must be overthinking it. Everyone's attention is on the arena right now; who would have the time to look at you?"
"True." Golden Crown nodded.
Little did he know that at this moment, he had already been targeted by two old foxes.
They wanted him to be their son-in-law.
They even intended to have Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, propose the marriage...
