Chapter 85

……

Xingluo City.

After solving the matter of the Single Attribute Four Clans, Nan Feng went on a trip that said "go" and took Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan straight to Xingluo City.

"I say... can't you bring two more people?" Dugu Bo said strangely.

That is Xingluo City, not Tiandou City! If it were Tiandou City, he would have the confidence to take these two and run away.

But Xingluo City—just the imperial family's Spirit Fusion Skill would be enough for him to handle, not to mention those Spirit Douluos and Spirit Saint ministers.

Xingluo City and Tiandou City are two different concepts! A Titled Douluo dares to run into Tiandou City for a stroll because their strongest are only the three committee members of the Tiandou Royal Academy.

But Xingluo City, even a Titled Douluo wouldn't dare to break in randomly!

The nobles of Star Luo and the nobles of Tiandou are two different things!

And the atmosphere here is that they fight as soon as they say they will! "What are you afraid of?" Nan Feng asked suspiciously.

"With one Time Solidification plus your ninth spirit skill, how many people in Xingluo City can still live?"

Dugu Bo's eyes twitched wildly, "I haven't lived enough yet!"

It's true that he can kill a large group with one big move!

But the problem is that after releasing the big move, those who are still alive will definitely go crazy and kill him!

"I have to make it clear to you: the more powerful the spirit skill, the more terrifying the spirit power consumption. If I jointly activate the eighth and ninth spirit skills, it will instantly consume nearly 70% of my spirit power, causing me to enter a weak period. By then, even if it's just a Spirit Saint rushing up, they could kill me." Dugu Bo said.

The ninth spirit skill of most Titled Douluos will directly empty at least 30% of their spirit power. The more powerful the spirit skill, the greater the consumption. Some ninth spirit skills can even consume half of their spirit power at once!

In battle, unless absolutely necessary, no one is willing to use such spirit skills with terrifying consumption.

After all, if the opponent happens to be able to deal with this spirit skill, then it's over.

Whether it's martial souls or spirit skills, there are restraining relationships. Even a ten-thousand-year spirit skill can be restrained by a thousand-year spirit skill.

And the consumption of a ten-thousand-year spirit skill and a thousand-year spirit skill are two completely different concepts!

Battles between real Spirit Masters don't involve releasing high-year spirit skills easily. Even in battles between Titled Douluos, most of the time they at most open their Spirit Avatars.

As for using the eighth or even ninth spirit skill, unless someone is backing them up, that means fighting for their lives!

"I know." Nan Feng said.

The higher the spirit ring year, the greater the power of the spirit skill, but at the same time, the greater the consumption.

For a Titled Douluo, things like the eighth or ninth spirit skill can be used at most once a day.

Battles between Spirit Masters are not like mutual skill releasing in the Great Spirit Arena; that is just a performance match. Real Spirit Master battles are actually similar to those in the Hell Slaughter Arena, just with a few more low-year spirit skills and occasional Spirit Avatar clashes.

This is also the root of the advantage of self-created spirit skills.

The most direct example: the title of "Number One Tool Martial Soul in the World" might change, after all, these titles look at the height reached by the strongest person who possesses this martial soul, but the "Number One Sect in the World" has always been the Clear Sky Sect, and since it appeared, it has stood for a thousand years, and the status of the Clear Sky Sect has never been shaken in the slightest. This is because of the self-created spirit skills they have passed down, such as the Haotian Nine Absolutes, the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, and the ultimate Explosive Ring.

Almost all sects have their own exclusive self-created spirit skills, but none can compare to the secret techniques of the Clear Sky Sect.

And don't talk about the Angel Family that has been passed down for twenty thousand years; living long doesn't mean being powerful. The size of ability has nothing to do with seniority. The times are progressing, humans are progressing, and technology is also progressing. If the strongest things in a world are all old things, then it can only be said that this world is heading towards destruction.

After all, if each generation is worse than the last, what future is there to speak of?

When a person, a family, or a country only knows how to brag about how awesome their ancestors were, it means they are not doing well now, because they have no way to brag about their own achievements, so they can only brag about their ancestors, just like those people who like to brag about "I have a friend."

Only people who are not doing well like to reminisce about the past.

"You know that, yet you still don't call two more people?" Dugu Bo said.

"No need; I'm not going there to fight." Nan Feng said.

"Besides, if a fight really breaks out, you just need to release your big move, and leave the rest to me."

The destructive power of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is no joke. The Extreme Gold Attribute can almost forcibly tear open space with brute force; it's all about violence.

Moreover, the truly terrifying thing about the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is its Berserk ability—a super explosion of speed and power, charging and crashing. Judging by the year of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear he can transform into now, once Berserk is activated, unless it's a Peak Douluo above level 95, no one dares to stand in front of him.

If a fight really breaks out, Dugu Bo plays a burst first, directly poisoning most of the opponents. In a highly toxic environment, who dares to stand in front of a crazed Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear? Besides, if one isn't enough, he can be two.

Even if he can't withstand a gang-up, no one can stop him from slipping away.

"Then why do you insist on bringing Yan Yan?" Dugu Bo asked.

"Isn't this because I'm worried you'll run away quietly?" Nan Feng said.

"I'm bringing her for insurance."

"……"

Dugu Bo and his granddaughter looked at Nan Feng with strange expressions.

Do they dare to run? ……

After several days of trekking, Nan Feng and his group finally arrived at Xingluo City.

It was no less prosperous than Tiandou City, but it was full of sharp aura, which was somewhat similar to Wuhun City; after all, Star Luo's folk customs and culture are like this.

The establishment of the Tiandou Empire was a union between the Tiandou Imperial Family and the several great kingdoms below. Because the Tiandou Imperial Family was the strongest and they didn't like fighting, when they founded the country, the Tiandou Imperial Family didn't choose to merge through war but chose to negotiate, which is why they retained the autonomy of the four great kingdoms and one duchy.

But the establishment of the Star Luo Empire was more bloody; there was no negotiation at all, they just directly exterminated the countries. Regarding the founding history of the Star Luo Empire, most of the time, they were doing the same thing: "exterminating clans and destroying species."

The Star Luo Empire only has one culture, and most areas can be considered highly unified. This is not a policy issue, but because they killed everyone who was different from them.

It's just that the Star Luo Empire doesn't take the initiative to mention these things. Even if they are condemned by the Tiandou Empire in this regard, they just muddle through, neither admitting nor denying it; after all, in peacetime, these bloody things are not glorious.

The internal problems of the Tiandou Empire are so big, yet they always possess the strength to resist the Star Luo Empire, not only because the Spirit Hall is causing trouble in the middle, but more because the nobles of the Tiandou Empire are not stupid. Once Star Luo really attacks, the army won't care if you are a commoner or a noble; in their eyes, there is only military merit. Therefore, when facing the Star Luo issue, the people of the Tiandou Empire have a relatively unified attitude; even if they don't help, they will definitely not add to the chaos.

Entering Xingluo City, Nan Feng asked Dugu Bo to go to the Spirit Saint Hall to say a word, while he took Dugu Yan straight to the Star Luo Imperial Palace.

"This isn't very appropriate, right?" Approaching the Imperial Palace, Dugu Yan pulled Nan Feng.

"What's inappropriate about it?" Nan Feng asked suspiciously.

"I am an Elder; although I am only an Honorary Elder, in terms of status, I am on par with the Titled Douluo Elders. Does that old thing dare not see me?"

"But the Imperial Palace is their territory; if we go in like this, aren't we sending our heads into their encirclement?" Dugu Yan said.

"With me here, what are you afraid of?" Nan Feng said.

"It's precisely because you're here that I'm afraid!" Dugu Yan said bluntly.

If it were anyone else, she wouldn't be nervous about entering an imperial palace; after all, no one would want to offend her grandfather.

But!

Nan Feng is different!

"I thought you could trust me a bit more during this time, but I didn't expect you to be the same as them. Fine, if you don't want to go, I'll take you."

After the words fell, Nan Feng picked up Dugu Yan and continued forward.

Dugu Yan was dumbfounded, "Can't you go by yourself?"

"No, my deterrent power is not enough; if those old things take action against me, it would be embarrassing." Nan Feng said.

"Then aren't you worried they'll take action against me?"

"I believe in your grandfather's deterrent power! You should believe in it too!"

"I believe in your head! I'm not going!"

"Young people shouldn't be so shy; you need to see more of the world. I'm doing this for your own good."

"Good my ass! Don't drag me to be your cushion if you're courting death!"

"Not so; as the old saying goes, if you don't cushion me, who will?"

"……"
