Chapter 254: Seventh Elder by the Roadside
As soon as the Xingluo General spoke, the expressions of everyone present became strained.
Twelve years old and Level 48? Are you sure you didn't misspeak? Not twenty years old? Even a Spirit Beast transforming into human form hasn’t been heard of being this powerful, has it?
But before they could exclaim, the Xingluo General continued.
“This Spirit Hall Saint Child traveled all over the continent for five years, until he was seventeen, when he settled down at Shrek Academy in Heaven Dou City.”
“During this period, as Elder Xu said, he defeated Chu Huai, the Grand Elder of the Chu family, with his Spirit Saint cultivation.”
“It was precisely because of this incident that he was noticed by the Heaven Dou Empire, so Emperor Xue Ye at the time sent Crown Prince Xue Qinghe to befriend him.”
“From then on, he never revealed his cultivation again. When he reappeared, it was as the Spirit Hall Saint Child, standing on the judging panel of the Soul Master Competition.”
“As for what happened after that, you all know. For the past two years, Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong has been in seclusion, and this Saint Child has been in charge of Spirit Hall.”
After the Xingluo General finished speaking, silence fell over the field, with only slightly heavy breathing continually echoing.
The Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect's face changed continuously, and finally, gritting his teeth, he said in a hoarse voice:
“So, that Spirit Hall Saint Child is only twenty-one years old now? And four years ago, he could defeat a high-level Spirit Douluo?”
“Haha, twenty-one years old, comparable to a Title Douluo. Heaven is truly unfair, favoring Spirit Hall so much!”
The Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect was on the verge of collapse. After his eldest son was killed by Spirit Hall back then, he had always wanted revenge.
Now, suddenly hearing such news made it difficult for him to accept. After all, Bai Yu was about the same age as his grandson, belonging to the third generation of juniors.
But now, he might not even be able to defeat such a junior. How could he seek revenge on Spirit Hall?
Tang Xiao frowned, walked in front of the Seventh Elder, and whispered.
“Calm down! Seventh Elder, the Clear Sky Sect will avenge Spirit Hall sooner or later. If not now, then later. I refuse to believe that Spirit Hall will have such peerless figures in every generation!”
“Besides, it’s not certain if that Saint Child is really that strong. Let us try this time and see if he is just famous in name only!”
Hearing Tang Xiao's words, a new light re-emerged in the eyes of the Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect.
“Sect Master, you are right. A millennia-old grudge can still be avenged. Why should Spirit Hall always be high and mighty?”
“As for this Saint Child, let this old man try him and see if he is just boastful or truly comparable to a Title Douluo!”
As the Seventh Elder's words fell, he directly turned and left, heading straight for the Heaven Dou station.
A look of worry flashed in Tang Xiao's eyes, and he immediately followed, bringing the Fifth Elder and Fourth Elder of the Clear Sky Sect with him.
The Star Luo Empire Ancestor and Xu Xing exchanged glances, then followed closely. Although this matter was unrelated to them, no matter what, they were now on the same side and couldn't just watch the show without participating.
“Boom!”
The Seventh Elder flew all the way, arriving above the Heaven Dou station. Then, without a word, he directly unleashed his Spirit Avatar and smashed a hammer down.
But Bai Yu and the others weren't blind; such a large hammer falling down couldn't possibly go unnoticed.
Immediately, Bone Douluo moved, passing through space, and directly arrived in mid-air, intercepting the hammer that was halfway down.
The Clear Sky Hammer and the Bone Dragon collided, their sound reverberating in all directions.
Afterward, Bai Yu and the others also walked out of their rooms, ascended into the air, and confronted the six Title Douluo from Star Luo.
“You are the Spirit Hall Saint Child? You are indeed young. In that case, let this old man try you and see if you are truly qualified to participate in a Title Douluo battle!”
The Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect immediately fixed his gaze on Bai Yu, as among everyone present, he was the only new face, and so young.
Then he shouted at Bai Yu for a bit, and carrying his large hammer, charged forward.
“Bang!”
Unfortunately, as soon as this Seventh Elder charged halfway, he was directly slammed to the ground by Bai Yu's Myriad Manifestation Great Handprint, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Then Bai Yu frowned slightly, glanced down, and said somewhat speechlessly:
“Where did this trash come from? Truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. Am I here for you? Yet you just charge forward with a hammer.”
Originally, when the Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect charged up, both sides had already summoned their Spirits, surging with spirit power, and were about to start fighting.
But Bai Yu's slap directly caused everyone present to pause. Regardless of whether they were friend or foe, they all looked at Bai Yu with disbelief.
Although the spirit power of this Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect was indeed a bit weak, only Level 91, no matter how weak, he was still a Title Douluo, right?
You just slapped him down with one palm. Isn't that a bit too disrespectful to a Title Douluo?
Five breaths later, a surge of spirit power suddenly erupted from below the crowd, and the Seventh Elder, who had been knocked to the ground, flew back up.
However, his current appearance was somewhat disheveled, with messy hair, covered in dust, and a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
Although he was a bit disheveled, he wasn't severely injured. After all, Bai Yu's slap was just a casual strike and wasn't enough to seriously injure a Title Douluo.
The Seventh Elder's gaze at Bai Yu was now filled with anger, but in his heart, there was also some despair, secretly cursing that this beast was not only not just famous in name, but greatly underestimated!
Bai Yu glanced at the Seventh Elder, then no longer paid attention to him, but turned to look at Tang Xiao.
“Clear Sky Sect Master, Tang Xiao, right? Originally, I didn't want to join the battlefield yet, because the person I'm waiting for hasn't arrived.”
“Unfortunately, your appearance has foiled my plans. Brother Qinghe is tied up on his side, so I have to step in.”
“However, since I'm already here, let's have a fight. Let me see how strong you, Douluo Xiaotian, are.”
Tang Xiao's brows were now furrowed. Although he had long had a premonition that this Saint Child's strength would be very strong, after all, a great reputation is never undeserved.
But to be strong to this extent was also beyond his expectations. To be honest, he didn't really want to fight this battle.
He came to the battlefield only to end this war so that the Clear Sky Sect could withdraw intact. So he still wanted to try if he could make Bai Yu and the others retreat.
“Bai Yu, right? You want to fight me, that's fine. However, after the fight, can your Spirit Hall withdraw from this war?”
“You also understand that if this war continues, it will inevitably sweep across the entire continent, and at that time, countless lives will be lost.”
“Your Spirit Hall, as a neutral force on the continent, should not do this!”
Hearing Tang Xiao's words, Bai Yu's gaze became a bit strange, then he chuckled lightly and said:
“Heh heh, since when did the Clear Sky Sect start being so compassionate? If you want to withdraw, just say you want to withdraw. Why bring up countless casualties?”
“However, I really can't agree to your request. This is an agreement between me and Brother Qinghe. Unless he doesn't want to fight anymore, it's impossible to retreat halfway.”
