Chapter 53: Gold Crocodile's Concerns
The moment the pressure descended, Su Mo felt his body sink.
He felt as if a towering mountain were pressing down on his shoulders, and his back involuntarily bent slightly under the heavy weight.
He gritted his teeth hard, trying to resist this terrifying pressure.
Suddenly, the dark red mask on his face finally could no longer withstand the terrifying pressure and shattered with a bang, revealing a young and handsome face.
However, his face was slightly pale at this moment.
The sense of mystery Su Mo had maintained was completely shattered in this instant.
In the audience, the crowd that had originally intended to flee suddenly paused, and countless gazes focused on Su Mo in unison.
"Asura is actually this young?"
"Oh my god, Asura is so handsome..." The eyes of many infatuated female spectators instantly lit up.
Just then, a burly figure suddenly appeared in front of Su Mo.
It was Golden Crocodile Douluo.
He didn't even make a move; he simply stood there like an insurmountable mountain, blocking all of Tang Wei's terrifying pressure.
The pressure on Su Mo vanished abruptly. He gasped for air, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat.
At that moment, Bibi Dong quickly ran onto the arena and grabbed his arm, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.
"Junior Brother, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Su Mo shook his head and straightened up.
At this time, Golden Crocodile Douluo's gaze swept over the people from the Clear Sky Sect, and he said coldly:
"What? Can the dignified Clear Sky Sect not afford to lose? Are you planning to go back on your word?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an even more terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body.
Following that, nine Soul Rings emerged one by one.
When the final Soul Ring, as red as fresh blood and a hundred thousand year spirit ring, appeared, the entire Great Spirit Arena seemed as if someone had pressed the pause button.
Everyone froze in place, staring blankly at that piercingly red Soul Ring.
For the vast majority of the audience, a hundred thousand year spirit ring was something they had only heard of and never seen.
"A hundred thousand year spirit ring, the Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul... You are Golden Crocodile Douluo!"
Tang Wei's pupils shrank sharply, and his originally overwhelming anger dissipated by more than half, replaced by deep wariness.
In the entire continent, the number of Titled Douluo who possessed a hundred thousand year ninth Soul Ring could be counted on one hand.
Before becoming a Consecrator, Golden Crocodile Douluo had already made a great name for himself on the continent. Older generation powerhouses like Tang Wei naturally knew of him.
At this moment, Tang Wei's face shifted between pale and flushed, looking extremely unsightly.
He never expected that the person behind this mysterious youth would actually be Spirit Hall's Golden Crocodile Douluo.
With his strength, he was simply no match for Golden Crocodile Douluo.
It could be said that in the entire Clear Sky Sect, aside from his father Tang Chen, no one could contend with Golden Crocodile Douluo.
"Tang Wei, since you recognize this old man, then obediently fulfill the bet. If you want to fight, I will accompany you to the end," Golden Crocodile Douluo said coldly.
If not for his wariness of Tang Chen, Golden Crocodile Douluo's temper would naturally not have allowed for so much nonsense.
One must know that with Tang Chen's strength, even if Gold Crocodile broke through to Rank 99, he would still not be his match. After all, Tang Chen's Ring Explosion unleashed power that had barely reached the Divine Rank.
Although Spirit Hall had Qian Daoliu, who could use the Angel God's divine force and contend with Tang Chen, Qian Daoliu was inherently somewhat indecisive.
Just like in the original story, when his biological son Qian Xunji was heavily injured, and even though Tang Chen wasn't around at that time, he didn't do anything to the Clear Sky Sect simply because of a verbal promise.
Not to mention that this was currently just a struggle between juniors. With Tang Chen still around, how could he possibly attack the Clear Sky Sect for this?
If a fight really broke out, it would only result in mutual destruction.
At this moment, Tang Wei's face became even more unsightly, so gloomy it looked as if water could drip from it.
He wanted to vent this frustration for Tang Hao, but he was not Gold Crocodile's match.
Furthermore, the bet was made in front of so many people at the Great Spirit Arena. If he went back on his word, where would the Clear Sky Sect's face be?
How would they maintain their standing on the continent in the future?
But Ring Explosion was a secret technique created by his father that was not to be shared. In the entire Clear Sky Sect, very few were qualified to learn it, and even he himself was not qualified to Cultivate it.
How could he be willing to hand such a thing over?
While they were at a stalemate, a brilliant seven-colored pillar of light suddenly fell upon Tang Hao on the arena.
"Seven Treasure Avatar, Seven Treasures Turn, Out Comes the Glazed Tile."
Ning Mingyuan was seen releasing his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and walking over quickly, followed by Bone Douluo Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi.
Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul did not have powerful healing abilities, it could still manage to temporarily stabilize Tang Hao's injuries.
Soon, Ning Mingyuan walked to Tang Wei's side and said with a heavy tone, "Sect Master Tang, the priority is to treat your son first. This old man has only temporarily stabilized his injuries."
Immediately, his gaze fell upon Gold Crocodile, and he sighed inwardly.
His guess was indeed correct; Asura was indeed from Spirit Hall.
What he hadn't expected was that the person behind Asura was actually Golden Crocodile Douluo, this veteran Titled Douluo. No wonder even Chen Xin lost track of him.
Although he didn't want to offend Spirit Hall, the Upper Three Sects were connected at the roots.
Moreover, he naturally understood the principle that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.
Looking across the entire continent, only the Clear Sky Sect with Tang Chen presiding over it could contend with Spirit Hall.
Therefore, at this moment, he had to stand on Tang Wei's side, even if only for show.
At the same time, Yu Yuanzhen also stepped out.
He stood silently below the arena, his gaze shifting between the several people, ultimately choosing to remain neutral.
After a moment, Tang Wei took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice:
"Senior Gold Crocodile, my Clear Sky Sect will naturally fulfill the bet."
"But Senior Gold Crocodile should be clear that Ring Explosion is a secret of my Clear Sky Sect not to be shared. Even this old man is not qualified to practice it, and such a secret technique cannot possibly be carried on one's person.
So, I ask Senior to go to the Clear Sky Sect to collect it yourself."
After speaking, Tang Wei snorted coldly in his heart.
Once on the Clear Sky Sect's territory, with his father Tang Chen presiding, let alone Gold Crocodile, even if Qian Daoliu came in person, they wouldn't be able to do anything to them.
When that time came, whether to give it or not would be up to the Clear Sky Sect.
In any case, he had agreed to fulfill the bet in front of everyone, so it wouldn't count as breaking his word.
Hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo's brow furrowed slightly.
He knew Tang Wei's words made sense; a secret technique like Ring Explosion indeed could not be carried around.
But he also knew that with the Clear Sky Sect's character, even if he really went to their door, the other party wouldn't hand it over easily, and he might even be beaten out by Tang Chen.
At this time, Su Mo took a step forward and looked directly at Tang Wei.
"Sect Master Tang, are you sure no one present knows it? With your son Tang Hao's talent, is he not even qualified to learn it?"
Tang Wei's expression changed instantly, and a trace of panic flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Su Mo took in his entire reaction and continued:
"If you don't want to give it, we'll just wait here. It's just that with your son Tang Hao's current state, if it's delayed for too long and leaves behind some hidden ailment that affects his future cultivation..."
He didn't finish the sentence, but the meaning was already perfectly clear.
