After burying Tang Hao, Tang San took the six spirit bones and withdrew from the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Now that I have Father's six spirit bones, the priority is to absorb them first, and then return to the Star Dou Great Forest to attach the eighth spirit ring to the Blue Silver Emperor."
"After absorbing these six spirit bones, my cultivation should increase significantly. It won't take more than a few years for me to become a Titled Douluo!"
"Once I become a Titled Douluo and attach spirit rings to the Clear Sky Hammer, I will seek my revenge against Spirit Hall!"
Having made up his mind, Tang San immediately left the Star Dou Great Forest and ran toward a tavern outside the woods.
On the other side, Davis and the other two were protecting Anna while she meditated. Suddenly, a world-shaking sound reached his ears.
"What a loud noise... it should be Tang Hao and Bibi Dong's group?" Davis analyzed inwardly. "I wonder how their fight is going. It would be best if they both ended up heavily injured. At the very least, Tang Hao should be able to exhaust either the Chrysanthemum Douluo or the Ghost Bear Douluo..."
Originally, Davis wanted to check on the status of their battle, but considering that Anna was still absorbing her spirit ring, he decided against it.
Just like that, half an hour passed by in a flash. The sound of urgent footsteps reached his ears, and Davis sensed an evil spirit pressure approaching!
"It's Bibi Dong!" Davis's gaze sharpened. He had fought Tang Hao before; while Tang Hao's spirit pressure was extremely destructive, this presence was incredibly aggressive.
How to describe it? Tang Hao's spirit pressure was like a maddened giant beast that would destroy everything in its path.
This spirit pressure, however, was filled with greed and desire, seeking to claim everything for its own. Whether it was Yue Guan or the Ghost Bear Douluo, their spirit pressures didn't feel like this. Thus, Davis was certain the newcomer was Bibi Dong.
"Since Bibi Dong is here, it means Tang Hao has been defeated. I wonder if he was killed by her or just heavily wounded..."
"Hehe, either way, them hurting each other is a good thing for me." Thinking of this, Davis gave a faint smile.
A few minutes later, Bibi Dong appeared before Davis, leading the members of the hunting squad.
"Davis! It's you!" Seeing Davis, Bibi Dong recognized him instantly. She couldn't help but cry out in surprise, her face written with disbelief.
Upon sensing that Davis's aura was not the least bit weaker than her own, Bibi Dong's expression changed drastically.
"You! Your spirit power has actually reached the peak of Rank 98?!"
Seeing Bibi Dong's expression, which looked as if she had swallowed something foul, Davis felt a sense of amusement. "Haha, thank you for your concern, Your Holiness. My progress has been rapid these past years. I am now but a single step away from becoming a Peerless Douluo. You, on the other hand, seem to be spinning your wheels. I wonder if your busy official duties have hindered your cultivation? Hahaha..."
Bibi Dong naturally heard the sarcasm and mockery in Davis's words, but she did not lose her temper. Instead, her gaze shifted to the corpse of the Sky Fresh Bull Python behind him, and... the Sky Fresh Bull Python Right Arm Bone in Davis's hand!
In an instant, Bibi Dong's face twisted into an expression of excitement and greed. She immediately released her Death Spider Emperor spirit. An evil and poisonous aura spread out, causing the lush green grass nearby to wither completely upon contact with her spirit power.
"Davis, hand over the Sky Fresh Bull Python's spirit bone. This seat will let you go and spare your lives! How about it?"
"Hahaha!" Davis didn't speak, but suddenly burst into loud laughter.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Your Holiness really knows how to joke. Since we are both Titled Douluo, what capital do you think you have to make me obediently hand over the Sky Fresh Bull Python Right Arm Bone? Isn't that a bit too much wishful thinking?"
The moment those words were spoken, Bibi Dong's face darkened instantly. She cold-snorted, "Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit. It seems you are determined to be my enemy?"
"Hehe, if Your Holiness wants the spirit bone, fine. Come and take it from my hands." Smiling, Davis placed the spirit bone into his spirit tool ring and laughed.
"As long as you can defeat me, not only will this Sky Fresh Bull Python Right Arm Bone be yours, but even the several hundred-thousand-year spirit bones on my body will be yours. Wouldn't that be a wonderful deal for Your Holiness?"
"Fine! Since you're tired of living, I'll kill you all first and then take all your spirit bones!"
"Then come!"
As he spoke, Davis also released his spirit, preparing for battle. Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing did the same, stepping forward with the intent to perform their Spirit Fusion Ability with him.
However, Davis shook his head slightly. "Zhuyun, Zhuqing, go protect Nana first. Prevent the hunting squad from taking the opportunity to attack her!"
"Alright." Without a second word, the two immediately retreated to Anna's side, assuming a defensive posture.
"Your Holiness, here I come!"
The moment he spoke, Davis bolted forward. Although he wasn't an Agility-Attack System Spirit Master, his speed was not inferior to any. In a few strides, he was in front of Bibi Dong, moving like a man made of wind.
He then threw a punch toward Bibi Dong's face, stirring up a howling gale, showing absolutely no intention of being "tender toward the fairer sex."
"So fast," Bibi Dong remarked. But she wasn't slow either. Seeing Davis's punch coming, she met it with a palm strike, going head-to-head with him!
Bibi Dong was an established Peerless Douluo. In front of so many Spirit Masters from the hunting squad, if she didn't even dare to meet a junior head-on, she shouldn't be the Pope anymore.
Bang—
A loud sound erupted as the punch and palm collided. Their respective powers surged toward each other. Davis remained expressionless, but Bibi Dong's face turned pale with horror. Davis's overbearing and fierce power was conducting through her arm and into her entire body.
"Such immense strength... how can this be..."
Bibi Dong spoke through gritted teeth. Her footing became unstable, and she stumbled back a dozen steps before stabilizing herself. Her palm was throbbing with pain, and her entire arm felt numb; the bones had nearly been shattered by the vibration.
"The Pope actually lost..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Her Holiness is the strongest Titled Douluo, how could she lose?"
"But Davis..."
"Stupid! Davis is a Power-Attack System Spirit Master who specializes in strength. Our Pope isn't a strength-based specialist. What's so strange about being outmatched in raw strength by that brat!"
"That's true."
The words of the hunting squad reached Bibi Dong's ears, making her already shocked expression even more displeased. However, she didn't reprimand the Spirit Masters. Instead, she looked at Davis.
"I didn't expect your strength to reach such a level in just a few years!"
"It's not that I've become too strong, it's that you are too weak, Your Holiness!" Davis laughed arrogantly. For the past three years, he had been cultivating in the waters of the Well of Ice and Fire. Ninety-nine percent of his spine had already been transformed into a powerful dragon bone.
Although this dragon bone hadn't granted him a specific skill, it had massively increased his physical attributes. Now, even without using his spirit, his physical strength was comparable to a Spirit Douluo, or even a Titled Douluo!
