Doulou Dalu 52

"The Spirit Hall competition?" Lin Fan's excitement wavered for a moment, and he quickly sat back down.

"Xiaofan, are you sure you're okay?" Liu Erlong asked with concern.

Lin Fan responded confidently, "Of course, I'm fine. Erlong, thank you for the warning. If you hadn't reminded me earlier, I might have been caught off guard. Even though I have a soul skill that grants temporary invincibility, I wouldn't have known the right moment to use it. I could have died on that stage..."

Thinking back, Lin Fan still felt a lingering fear. If he hadn't been forewarned about the speed and penetration of the ten black poison needles, he wouldn't have been able to evade them. That sinister Qian Xunji was truly ruthless.

Liu Erlong blinked playfully and teased, "I'm just glad you're okay, Xiaofan. But, what was that thing on your forehead earlier? We couldn't see it clearly from a distance. Can you show us again?"

"Yeah, Xiaofan, you looked really different just now. Let your senior sister take another look," Tang Huoer chimed in, suddenly hugging Lin Fan's neck. Her soft and curvaceous figure pressed against him, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Feeling overwhelmed, Lin Fan had no choice but to activate his Heavenly Eye again.

As expected, the four girls around him stared at him in awe. This made Lin Fan nervous. He wasn't ready for any more unexpected situations—his wife was still in the audience!

Quickly deactivating his Heavenly Eye, he broke free from Tang Huoer's embrace and sighed, "Senior Sister, you're too strong. I still want to watch the match."

By this time, Bibi Dong had already entered the stage. She wore a silver gauze dress, her long hair flowing freely. She looked less like the imposing Pope of Spirit Hall and more like a young noblewoman. Today, she had even removed her crown, adding a hint of casual grace to her usual majesty.

Her expression was softer than usual, a mix of pride and shyness.

Is she aware that I'm watching her?

"What? You're staring at her again?" Tang Huoer huffed, following his gaze before pinning Lin Fan down onto her lap.

Just as he was watching the arena, he felt a warm softness against him, along with a faint fragrance.

"Oh, come on, Senior Sister! Let me go! If you keep this up, I'm going to scream..." Lin Fan protested, feeling trapped.

"You wouldn't dare," Tang Huoer challenged. But when she noticed the curious stares of Liu Erlong and the others, she reluctantly let him go.

Lin Fan took a deep breath and refocused on the match.

On stage, the seven members of the Power Clan had arrived. Bibi Dong's expression turned serious.

Lin Fan's heart sank. Qian Xunji must have given her strict orders again.

The Power Clan was known for their overwhelming strength. Their inherited martial spirit, the Titan Gorilla, made them dominant in physical combat. Seven muscular warriors stood before Bibi Dong, their presence as imposing as any elite fighters.

Before the match began, the leader of the Power Clan stepped forward. He was an eighteen-year-old powerhouse named Taiba, towering over 1.9 meters with bulging muscles. He took a few steps forward, looking at Bibi Dong with a smirk.

"Saintess of Spirit Hall, I am Taiba, captain of the Power Clan. You may be a woman, and a beautiful one at that, but you know what this duel represents. It's a battle for supremacy, and we won't hesitate to take your life if given the chance. Fighting alone against us is foolish. You should call your teammates before it's too late..."

Taiba's voice echoed through the arena, amplified by the loudspeakers.

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes. The Power Clan specialized in brute strength. Besides the renowned Clear Sky Sect, there was no other clan on the continent that could match them in raw power.

Then, the Power Clan warriors released their martial spirits. Their bodies transformed—thick fur sprouted across their skin, muscles swelled even further, and their physical defense became akin to that of armored beasts.

Lin Fan gasped as he noticed their spirit rings.

Two Soul Kings?!

In addition to Taiba, another member had just broken through to the fifth ring. Although a low-level Soul King, this still made them incredibly dangerous.

Their formation was far stronger than the Blazing Fire Sect's. Lin Fan realized that his victory over the Blazing Fire Sect had been due to his Heavenly Eye's abilities. If not for the opponent's rule violations, his battle against Chi Yan, the Soul King, would have been much tougher.

Even with all his abilities, Lin Fan wasn't sure he could defeat the seven members of the Power Clan without using his strongest techniques. The Titan Gorilla was an aggressive martial spirit—high in both attack and defense.

The atmosphere in the stands grew tense. Many spectators were worried about Bibi Dong.

As the arena seal was activated, Lin Fan steeled himself. If anything unexpected happened, he would rush in immediately.

Taiba's expression became fierce. He licked his lips and sneered, "You really think you can take on seven of us alone? You're too confident in your own strength. Do you believe we're as weak as the Yu Clan? We won't show mercy!"

"Enough talk. Let's begin," Bibi Dong said coldly.

In an instant, sharp, snow-white bone spurs extended from her arms, piercing through her pale skin like deadly blades.

Bibi Dong, in her Death Spider form, no longer appeared fragile. Instead, she exuded a terrifying aura—deadly and beautiful at the same time.

Unlike her previous match against the Yu Clan, she was taking this fight far more seriously.

"Fine," Taiba growled. "Take this... Explosive Strike!"

Activating his third soul skill, Taiba's fist grew larger, crackling with energy. The punch carried devastating force—comparable to that of a low-level Soul Emperor. He charged at Bibi Dong with astonishing speed.

However, compared to Bibi Dong—who possessed the Six-Winged Purple Light Wings—his speed was lacking.

Just before Taiba's fist connected, Bibi Dong leaped into the air, dodging with ease. She hadn't even activated her external soul bone yet, saving it for a more crucial moment.

As Taiba missed his strike, four razor-sharp bone spurs slashed down, piercing his back.

Blood splattered across the arena. Taiba roared in pain and immediately activated his fifth soul skill.

"Fury Burst!"

A protective aura exploded from his body, forcing Bibi Dong to retreat. His eyes turned red with rage.

"Everyone, attack with full force!" he bellowed.

The remaining six warriors charged in unison, their devastating strength aimed solely at Bibi Dong.

Unlike the Yu Clan's cooperative techniques, the Power Clan's strategy was pure brute force. If all seven of them landed their attacks at once, even a Soul Saint wouldn't be able to withstand it.

But Bibi Dong wasn't fazed.

She leaped into the air once more, and her fifth soul ring shone brightly.
