Chapter 24: The peeping of Jin E and Guang Ling

……

As Nan Feng's flashy words fell, the atmosphere of the entire battlefield became extremely eerie. Not to mention the Clear Sky Sect, even the Spirit Hall side didn't expect that such a "top-tier powerhouse" would appear on their side.

Without even releasing his martial soul, he had easily blocked a blow from a Clear Sky Sect elder who had activated his martial soul true body! For a time, the Spirit Hall side's morale inexplicably soared, while the Clear Sky Sect side had already developed a trace of faint despair.

If such a powerhouse went on a killing spree, how many people could be left alive on their side? The Clear Sky Sect Sixth Elder who had made the move was even more shocked.

He knew best what had happened to the hammer he had smashed down. This person definitely hadn't used any spirit skills, and it definitely wasn't any spirit bone skill! In other words, this person had really easily blocked a blow from his Clear Sky True Body with just one finger!

Yue Guan and Gui Mei, who knew the inside story, were also completely stunned.

They could clearly feel that Nan Feng only had level 40 spirit power!

Steady and solid, no more! How did he block the Clear Sky True Body? No joke, just that blow—let alone a Spirit Ancestor, even they wouldn't dare to play like that! Either dodge it, or activate their own martial soul true body to block it! "Did you not hear what I said?" Nan Feng waved his hand, took out a large recliner from his spirit tool, and lay down lazily.

"I'll say it again: you aren't qualified to fight me. Let Tang Xiao come out!"

Damn it, intact? No, no, the only explanation for him being intact was that the hammer blow just now could kill him! The kind that empties the health bar in one hit!

To put it vividly, it was full health triggering 'Ming Dao'!

Exciting!

One hammer took away 10% of his spirit power! The Clear Sky Hammer is truly terrifying! He only needed to take nine more of such fatal attacks before he would be finished on the spot! "May I ask which elder you are, Senior?" The Sixth Elder's attitude was much more respectful.

To be able to block his attack in this way, the only possibility was a Titled Douluo!

And a peak Douluo above level 95!

The legendary highest defensive force of the Spirit Hall, hidden deep in the Elder Hall!

An elder?

Nan Feng leaned back on the recliner and coldly glanced at the big hammer opposite. "Do I need to say it a third time?"

The Sixth Elder felt anger in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, bowed, and flashed away.

Being able to easily block his Clear Sky True Body, the other party could kill him easily too! With such strength, he wouldn't even have a chance to fight for his life!

Thus, the battlefield was silent. Nan Feng lay in the center of the battlefield like this, closing his eyes to rest, but no one dared to make a move secretly.

"Second Brother, this kid... did you see any tricks?"

In the dark, the Second Elder Jin E Douluo, who had been ordered by Qian Daoliu to supervise the battle and also intended to kill two Clear Sky Sect elders, and the Fifth Elder Guang Ling Douluo, who had come to watch the fun, also saw that eerie scene just now.

Guang Ling really didn't understand.

Without activating his martial soul, and without activating any spirit bone skills, he could actually block a Clear Sky True Body launched by a Spirit Douluo without any damage?

To be honest, he wouldn't dare to play like that.

In the entire Spirit Hall, the only one who might dare to play like that was the one beside him.

Jin E Douluo, Golden Crocodile King martial soul—that defense was no joke. Even the Grand Elder had to be serious to have a chance to break Jin E's defense.

Others, even if the rest of them attacked together, could only wait until Jin E's spirit power was exhausted before they might have a chance to break the defense. When his spirit power was sufficient, don't even dream about it.

"At the moment of being attacked, there was a tiny fluctuation of spirit power on his body, but..." Jin E looked puzzled.

"Even I couldn't resist the Clear Sky True Body without activating my martial soul."

A Spirit Master's physical strength depended on their level and martial soul. Beast martial soul Spirit Masters' physical strength was generally stronger than other types of Spirit Masters, but it was more about physical fitness. It was impossible for them to resist someone's martial soul true body without activating their own martial soul.

Spirit Masters cultivated their martial souls; the martial soul was the foundation of a Spirit Master. Not using a martial soul and relying only on spirit power support—attacking was fine, but talking about defense, even he wouldn't dare to play like that.

In the state of martial soul possession, he was confident that the hammer blow just now wouldn't hurt him, but not activating his martial soul and relying only on his physical body—that was a joke.

"Could this kid be a human-shaped spirit beast?" Guang Ling suspected.

"That's not it. Before in Wuhun City, Bibi Dong appointed this kid to act as a staff officer and follow Yue Guan and his companion to the front line. I saw his martial soul," Jin E said.

"That thing is a bit strange. I don't know if it belongs to a beast martial soul or some auxiliary martial soul." Guang Ling looked puzzled. "What does it look like?"

"It looks like a statue of a coiled dragon," Jin E said.

"A statue?" Guang Ling was stunned.

"Can it possess the martial soul?"

"I don't know. I didn't ask much at the time, just let him release his martial soul," Jin E said.

"I originally thought he was just cannon fodder Bibi Dong used to bluff, but I didn't expect him to have such ability."

"Cannon fodder?" Guang Ling looked strange.

"What do you mean?"

"He's only level 40," Jin E said.

"..."

"Ah?" Guang Ling was stunned.

A level 40 Spirit Ancestor blocking the Clear Sky True Body without injury? Are you kidding?

Guang Ling, who was a bit suspicious, didn't care whether he would expose his presence or not and directly released his spiritual power to probe Nan Feng.

"Hmm? Why can't I sense it?" Guang Ling said, puzzled.

High-level Spirit Masters could probe low-level Spirit Masters through spiritual power scanning, thereby roughly judging their spirit power level. Of course, this method wasn't accurate; after all, spiritual power would be interfered with. To accurately judge the other party's spirit power level, direct contact was still needed.

But now, after his spiritual power rushed onto that kid, it actually disappeared into thin air, and he couldn't see anything.

"It should be because of his strange martial soul," Jin E said.

"I was the same when I was in Wuhun City before. Spiritual power couldn't see it; only direct contact could sense his actual spirit power fluctuation."

"His method just now was also likely based on his special martial soul. Perhaps his martial soul has special abilities in this regard."

The martial souls on the Douluo Continent were strange and varied. Besides common knives, guns, swords, and halberds, as well as various beast martial souls, some strange martial souls would occasionally appear, perhaps possessing some special abilities.

"I see..." Guang Ling nodded.

Unique martial soul abilities—this could also explain it. After all, he had seen many strange martial souls before. Take Gu Rong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, for example; he was known as one of the most mysterious and difficult Titled Douluo because of the uniqueness of his own martial soul.

……

I don't know how long it had been, but just as Nan Feng was about to fall asleep on the chair, the Clear Sky Sect side finally had some movement.

The Sixth Elder who had left earlier came out with an old man and a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties.

Of course, a Spirit Master's age couldn't be judged by appearance, because after a Spirit Master reached a certain realm, they could maintain their appearance and stop aging, or even become younger to a certain extent, through long-term consumption of spirit power.

Generally speaking, only Titled Douluo had the ability to make their appearance return to youth, but people who had cultivated to that realm didn't care that much about whether they were young. On the contrary, many people preferred to maintain a middle-aged or even elderly image.

Because this was the most intuitive expression of seniority.

It didn't exclude some old urchins who liked to keep themselves in their youthful state.

"Clear Sky Sect Master Tang Xiao, greets the Senior." Tang Xiao walked in front of the two elders and stood about thirty meters away from Nan Feng.

Nan Feng opened his eyes. "You are Tang Xiao?"

"Exactly," Tang Xiao said, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Do you know why I came?" Nan Feng asked, resting his chin on his hand.

"Please enlighten me, Senior," Tang Xiao said in a deep voice.

What kind of temperament Tang Hao had, how could he, as the big brother, not know? It was clearly the Spirit Hall coveting the hundred-thousand-year transformed spirit beast. They had failed to make a move years ago, and now they were intensifying their efforts. Three Titled Douluo surrounded and killed him, and if they were inferior in skill, it was Qian Xunji's own fault. Yet he didn't expect these people to bite back—they were truly shameless!
