Qian Daoliu couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva as he looked at the soaring sword light, hundreds of feet long, emanating from Qi Lin's sword finger.
Even he, after feeling the incredibly condensed sword intent within the sword light and its terrifying aura, was already drenched in sweat.
If he were to fully take this sword, wouldn't he be instantly annihilated?
Probably not!
But just as he was stunned, Qi Lin reminded him, "I'm coming!"
Qian Daoliu instantly reacted, cold sweat pouring down as his entire body was immediately covered in a layer of golden armor.
It was his Spirit Bone!
With Qian Daoliu's strength, and having lived for one hundred and forty to fifty years, he had naturally long since gathered a full set of Spirit Bones, and each piece was a Spirit Bone of over fifty thousand years.
Besides summoning the Spirit Bone armor, seemingly feeling it wasn't safe enough, Qian Daoliu's spirit ring above his head flashed twice in succession, boosting his entire body, and then, still feeling it wasn't safe enough, he unleashed his strongest defensive Spirit Ability.
As a God-level Spirit, the Seraphim Spirit could be said to be incredibly comprehensive, capable of both offense and defense.
After unleashing his defensive Spirit Ability, a golden light shield instantly enveloped Qian Daoliu.
Qi Lin did not stop him, but waited for Qian Daoliu to set up all his defenses before he waved his hand down.
Swish!
The next second, the golden sword light slashed down from the sky, as if it could split heaven and earth in two. Everyone who rushed from all directions watched this scene in astonishment.
Boom!
The sword light struck the light shield, and with a loud bang, the light shield exploded.
Inside the light shield, Qian Daoliu's figure flew backward several hundred feet like a cannonball before he finally managed to stabilize himself.
The Level 99 Limit Douluo, Qian Daoliu, was defeated!
He was defeated by Qi Lin, a fourteen-year-old boy.
In fact, Qi Lin had held back at the last moment, otherwise Qian Daoliu would not have merely flown backward.
And the strong individuals of Spirit Hall who had rushed over were even more horrified as they witnessed this scene.
Their most revered High Priest was actually defeated, and so thoroughly!
For a moment, everyone was too stunned by the scene before them to recover, only Bibi Dong let out a gasp as she looked at Qi Lin standing suspended in the sky.
When did this little fellow, Qi Lin, acquire such strength?
However, despite her surprise, Bibi Dong did not immediately greet Qi Lin.
At the same time, on the other side of Spirit City.
Sword Douluo's eyes flashed as he looked towards the direction of Spirit Hall.
"What terrifying sword intent, I didn't expect such a powerful sword master to exist in this world!"
Sword Douluo muttered to himself, a strong fighting intent erupting in his eyes.
Ning Fengzhi, who was beside him, also sensed the terrifying spirit power fluctuation coming from the direction of Douluo Hall, and his expression hardened.
"Who is this powerful individual, actually fighting so fiercely in Spirit Hall!"
"Uncle Sword, can you discern his origin?"
Sword Douluo shook his head, then said, "I can't tell, I only know that the person who made the move should be a powerful sword master, and his opponent is the High Priest of Spirit Hall."
"What!" Ning Fengzhi exclaimed.
"I didn't expect that in this world, besides the long-missing Tang Chen, there would still be a strong individual capable of fighting against the High Priest of Spirit Hall."
Sword Douluo shook his head and smiled, "Titled Douluo strong individuals have long lifespans, and there are certainly some Old Freaks who live in seclusion on the continent. Perhaps this senior sword master is one of them."
Ning Fengzhi nodded upon hearing this.
Then, he asked curiously, "Such a strong individual, I wonder who is stronger, him or the High Priest of Spirit Hall."
Sword Douluo pondered for a moment, then said, "Although I wasn't present to observe the battle, the fight between the two was over in an instant, clearly indicating that the senior sword master had the upper hand."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's face revealed a look of longing.
"Alas, if my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could one day produce such a powerful individual, I would be willing to die immediately."
Sword Douluo laughed, "Fengzhi, have you perhaps forgotten about Rongrong, this child?"
"With her current talent, she might not be unable to reach the level of the High Priest of Spirit Hall and this senior sword master."
Ning Fengzhi was slightly stunned, then smiled, "You're right, I remember back then I only hoped that Rongrong would one day evolve into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, but I never thought that after just one runaway, she would have such a transformation."
Sword Douluo also felt deeply emotional.
...
Above Douluo Hall!
The assembled Elders of Spirit Hall, upon seeing that their High Priest had been defeated by a young boy, assumed Qi Lin was an enemy and immediately treated him as a formidable foe.
Gold Crocodile Douluo, who was leading them, instantly activated his Spirit Possession, looking at Qi Lin with a solemn expression.
"Who are you, sir? Why do you trespass into my Spirit Hall and fight our High Priest here?"
Qi Lin's gaze swept over the group, pausing an extra second on Bibi Dong, then he smiled faintly, "I have no intention of being your enemy. I only came here today to challenge the strong individuals of Spirit Hall."
Upon hearing this, Gold Crocodile Douluo and the other strong individuals immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It was good that he wasn't an enemy of Spirit Hall.
After all, even the High Priest, the strongest in Spirit Hall, was no match for this mysterious person before them, let alone them.
At this moment, Qian Daoliu had also stabilized himself and flown back from a distance.
He looked quite disheveled at the moment, his aura weak, his hair disheveled, and a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with shock.
He looked at Qi Lin with surprise and doubt, not understanding how the latter, at such a young age, could possess such terrifying strength.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind.
Could it be...
Qi Lin has already begun his God Position trial?
A year ago, Yu Yuanzhen, the clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, was killed by a mysterious Limit Douluo. At that time, he suspected that the strong individual was an existence similar to himself, a spokesperson for a certain deity, responsible for guiding the deity.
Now it seems that his guess is probably correct!
Moreover, if Qi Lin's inherited God Position assessment has begun, it could also explain why his strength has advanced by leaps and bounds in just one year.
This must be due to the rewards of the God Position trial.
Otherwise, there would absolutely be no Spirit Master in the world who could jump from a Spirit King to a Spirit Douluo in one year, and even he, a Limit Douluo, would not be his opponent.
"Your strength truly exceeds this Old Freak's expectations. If you hadn't held back just now, this Old Freak would probably be dead."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was even more horrified.
Such a thing actually happened!
Qi Lin waved his hand and said, "I'm just here to challenge you all, not to kill anyone."
With that, he casually pointed at four people.
"You four, come and fight me too!"
Gold Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, Lion Douluo, and Light Feather Douluo pointed at themselves.
"Fight you?"
"Us?"
"Bro, you can defeat the High Priest with one move, so why would you fight us?"
Qian Daoliu, however, suddenly understood, thinking, "It seems this is the content of Qi Lin's God Position trial."
So he looked at the four and said, "Second Brother, you listen to Qi Lin and spar with him."
"Don't worry, you won't die!"
