Chapter 197: The Golden Eagle Spirit Douluo

"Heh, since they aren't coming for us, let's rest for a while." Nan Feihuang smiled slightly, sat on the ground, and closed his eyes for light Meditation.

"Is this the Crown Prince of the Gu Lei Kingdom? Truly a fine demeanor," Huang Zhenshan praised.

To dare to meditate so calmly while surrounded by so many people showed he had no fear in his heart, and he was very measured, entering only a light state of Meditation from which he could withdraw at any time.

Not afraid, yet still on guard—this was very good.

Huang Zhenshan did not intend to disturb Nan Feihuang; after all, the Spirit Hall's target this time was truly not him.

However, there was one thing that neither he nor Nan Feihuang had anticipated.

Just because he did not intend to make a move against Nan Feihuang did not mean others held the same thought.

In the shadows, a gaze had already locked onto Nan Feihuang.

Unlike the harmony on the Gu Lei Academy side, other places were fighting fiercely.

The Royal Knights were gradually failing to hold them back, and some exceptionally large boulders had already smashed into the ranks.

Flender said sternly, "Things are not that simple. Don't you find it strange? Although the Heaven Dou Empire has some large bandit groups, they are very well-informed. How could anyone dare to attack a team like ours? What are they relying on? Looking at the falling rocks on the mountain, it is clear they were prepared long ago, not acting unintentionally. Regardless of what they want to do, our priority is to protect the children. With Xiao Gang absent, we cannot use the Golden Sacred Dragon and cannot exert our maximum combat power; guarding the children is the most important thing."

"I really didn't expect that a mere Shrek would actually have such weapons."

It seemed that they would have to make a move today.

At a time like this, the strength of the Spirit Masters was revealed. These elites from the various high-level Spirit Master academies of the Heaven Dou Empire were not panicked in the slightest. They each released their own martial soul, shielding the Support System Spirit Masters inside, while the Qiangong Xi and defense types stood on the outside. As rocks flew in, they were immediately shattered, not even affecting the speed of the team's advance and withdrawal.

The Spirit Hall's first wave of attacks proved futile against Tang San's Hidden Weapon, finally attracting the attention of the true experts lying in ambush in the shadows.

Especially Shrek, as almost all their elites had gone there; after all, that was their primary target.

Hearing Flender's words, although Liu Erlong felt somewhat unconvinced in her heart, she found it difficult to refute.

Liu Erlong had wanted to charge up the hill to slaughter a few, but was stopped by Flender.

At this moment, the best resistance was coming from the Shrek side; they had the Hidden Weapon crafted by Tang San, which could be said to have caught the Spirit Hall off guard.

Over a thousand men in black besieged sixteen academies, with each academy being assigned at least several dozen opponents.

"Old Flender, why are you stopping me? It would be so good to let me kill these blind thieves," Liu Erlong said with dissatisfaction. Clearly, her intelligence was insufficient; she had not yet realized the severity of the situation and still thought this was just an ordinary bandit robbery.

Just as when Tang Hao beat up Zhao Wuji, when the gap in strength is too great, whether or not one uses a martial soul doesn't hold much meaning.

But at this moment, the Spirit Hall's Spirit Masters also began a direct assault. Although they barely released their martial souls to hide their identities, most of them were high-level Spirit Masters, and they could still form a crushing situation when facing a group of children at the Soul Elder to Soul Ancestor level.

"Zhuge Crossbow, volley!" In the valley, Tang San led the rest of Shrek and launched a volley at the men in black opposite them.

After this round of attacks, it was estimated that quite a few people would die.

But just at this moment, three figures descended from the sky. The bolts from the Zhuge Crossbow were directly shaken away by their powerful soul power. Tang San's expression changed drastically, for he clearly felt that the pressure from those three individuals made him nearly collapse.

The last time he encountered such a situation was when he was suppressed by Titan's soul power, which meant that these three might include a powerhouse at the Spirit Douluo level.

Suddenly seeing three experts appear, Flender and Liu Erlong also felt a chill in their hearts. Those who had appeared before were mostly level 50-something Soul Kings; with their cultivation as Spirit Saints, they didn't take them very seriously. Even without activating their Spirit Avatar, a Spirit Saint could completely crush a Soul King.

If they did activate it, they could sweep through an entire area.

"Hmph, Shrek, it's not bad that you could resist until now, but it ends here," the lead man in black said.

Unlike the other men in black, these three released their martial souls as soon as they came up. After all, they were to face two of the Golden Iron Triangle; without activating their martial souls, they truly had no certainty of victory.

These three had martial souls of Flying Demon Tiger, Hard Shell Battle Turtle, and Golden Eagle Divine Hawk, respectively.

All were top-tier Beast Spirits, especially the Golden Eagle Divine Hawk, which was not inferior to Feng Xiaotian's Wind Twin-Headed Wolf and was close to a Top-level Spirit.

What was terrifying was the number of their Spirit Rings.

Two with two yellow, two purple, and three black, plus one with three yellow, two purple, and three black.

"Two Spirit Saints, one Spirit Douluo!" Flender said in shock. Now he was even more certain that this was no bandit robbery. Which group of bandits could mobilize two Spirit Saints plus one Spirit Douluo? The Lower Four Sects of the Seven Great Sects were only about this much.

That Golden Eagle Spirit Douluo snorted coldly, raised his hand, and commanded, "Demon Tiger, Battle Turtle, leave Flender and Liu Erlong to you two to deal with; I will finish off this group of children."

"Yes!" Spirit Saints naturally obeyed a Spirit Douluo's every word.

The two Spirit Saints pounced directly toward Flender and Liu Erlong.

If he could, Flender certainly did not want to be entangled; he still had to protect his students. However, the strength of the two Spirit Saints opposite them was in no way inferior to him and Liu Erlong. To end the battle quickly was basically impossible.

Tang San looked at the Golden Eagle Spirit Douluo who had not yet acted, and cold sweat could not help but drip down his back. A Spirit Douluo powerhouse of Eighty-plus Level, in a time when there were only a dozen or so Title Douluo on the surface, could be said to be one of the most top-tier figures on the continent, an existence close to the peak of Spirit Masters. Such an opponent was absolutely not something he could resist.

Moreover, he felt that the pressure this Golden Eagle Spirit Douluo gave him was even stronger than Titan's.

Titan's current soul power was around level 85 to 86, while the Golden Eagle Spirit Douluo before him was already at level 89, a Peak Soul Douluo.

Unfortunately, because his early Spirit Ring configuration was too poor, it led to an unstable foundation. In this lifetime, it would be very difficult to break through to Title Douluo; unless he had some high-quality soul bone to improve his physique, the Spirit Douluo level was likely his limit.

The battle on Flender and Liu Erlong's side had already started first. Although Flender was also a Spirit Saint, his soul power was already close to level 79, making him definitely a powerful existence among Spirit Saints. His opponent was precisely that Flying Demon Tiger Spirit Saint, and the two's battle unfolded directly in the air.

Liu Erlong's opponent was that Hard Shell Battle Turtle Spirit Master.

The two, one attacking and one defending, were also locked in an inextricable fight. While Liu Erlong's attacks were indeed fierce, her opponent's defense was also indestructible.

They were also caught in a stalemate; these two Spirit Saints seemed to have come specifically to target Liu Erlong and Flender. Although their martial souls might not necessarily suppress these two Spirit Saints of Shrek Academy, they had no problem delaying them.

At the level of a battle between Spirit Saints, the number of soul skills both sides could use was very high, and wanting to crush an opponent of similar level was by no means easy.

As for that Golden Eagle Spirit Douluo, his gaze fell directly on the biggest target of this trip, Tang San. Despite his martial soul being glittering with golden light, paired with his gloomy eyes at this moment, it made people feel a chill in their hearts.
