"Fine, just you wait."
Qian Renxue's eyes burned with rage. That damned Xiao Lin had forced her to eat such disgusting things. It was an unbearable humiliation! If this incident ever got out, she would be so ashamed she'd want to die.
"Oh? Looks like your backup has arrived."
Xiao Lin's eyes narrowed, sensing several powerful presences rushing toward them at incredible speed.
Qian Renxue glanced around but didn't see anyone. She glared furiously at Xiao Lin.
"Are you messing with me again?"
"No need to rush if I wanted to tease you. Just wait — quite a few people are coming."
Xiao Lin lazily swayed his dragon tail as he spoke, completely at ease.
"What?!"
Qian Renxue saw that he didn't seem to be lying and immediately panicked. She quickly straightened her clothes and transformed back into her disguise as Xue Qinghe.
"Filthy dragon! How dare you kidnap the young master of Spirit Hall! You're courting death!"
Blood Lance Douluo was the first to appear, his nine spirit rings rising into the air as his gaze locked onto Xiao Lin, who was lounging atop a tree.
"Get lost before I slap you to death."
Xiao Lin narrowed his eyes, his voice filled with a brutal and domineering aura.
"Die!"
Blood Lance Douluo's face darkened, and he immediately unleashed his seventh spirit skill.
"Martial Soul True Body!"
"Hmph."
Xiao Lin snorted, a look of disdain flashing across his face. With his current strength, these low-level Title Douluo were nothing but clowns.
ROAR—!
With a mighty dragon roar, Xiao Lin's body expanded into a massive form over thirty meters long. His dragon tail lashed out with terrifying force, sending Blood Lance Douluo flying.
Boom—!
Blood Lance Douluo coughed up blood, heavily injured from a single strike.
"What…?"
The others who arrived were struck speechless. Even though Blood Lance Douluo wasn't the strongest Title Douluo, he was still a formidable one. Yet here he was, nearly obliterated by a single swing of a tail.
"To possess Super Douluo-level power right from birth… how terrifying."
"You're worthy of becoming my spirit ring."
Bibi Dong's eyes burned with desire. Wearing a silver and purple robe adorned with regal patterns and a crown of amethyst and gold, she was every bit the empress. Her gaze locked onto Xiao Lin's massive dragon body.
A dragon's hundred-thousand-year-old spirit ring was far superior to something like a Soft Bone Rabbit's!
"Spirit ring? I was thinking you'd make a nice polishing cloth for my claws."
Xiao Lin's gaze fell upon Bibi Dong, his eyes burning with a different kind of hunger. Her mature charm, noble air, and seductive allure were easily as captivating to him as Qian Renxue had been.
"Attack!"
Bibi Dong's eyes turned icy as she slammed her gemstone-embedded scepter against the ground. The Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo immediately stepped forward.
The two Douluo clasped hands, and nine spirit rings rose beneath each of them, their powers merging.
"A domain?"
Xiao Lin's gaze sharpened, and he instantly released his domain: Abyss of Darkness.
"Polar Stillness Domain!"
The Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo activated their dual domains simultaneously. The moment their time-freezing domain clashed with Xiao Lin's, its effects were rapidly eroded by the overwhelming dark energy.
"It can still move?!"
Bibi Dong's expression grew grim. She vanished in a flash, appearing above Xiao Lin's head.
She swung her gemstone scepter down with terrifying force, unleashing her Killing God Domain at the same time.
BOOM—!
A devastating shockwave swept through the area, blasting everyone away. Xiao Lin caught the scepter's blow with his sharp claws. Bibi Dong's body twisted in midair as she aimed a vicious kick at his abdomen.
"Hah, like mother, like daughter. Their fighting styles are so similar."
Xiao Lin had no intention of taking the attack head-on. He flew backward, continuously releasing dark energy from his domain as he retreated.
"A mere spirit beast possessing such a powerful domain?"
Bibi Dong was shaken. Every time she approached, she felt her power being steadily eroded by that strange, corrosive force.
[Raksasha God Inheritor detected. Target possesses peak-level berserk potential. Confrontation is inadvisable. Special talent extraction is possible.]
[Extracting Top-Tier Talent…]
"Ha! Talk about perfect timing. Extract!"
Xiao Lin's eyes lit up as he eagerly tapped on the translucent blue screen only he could see.
However, before the extraction was completed, he was struck by a devastating force to the abdomen and sent crashing down from the sky.
[Extracting Top-Tier Talent…]
[Acquired Top-Tier Space Power: Host can now freely manipulate spatial energy.]
"Argh! Damn, that hurts!"
Xiao Lin groaned, clutching his stomach with a pained grimace.
"Hmph, you weren't so tough after all."
Bibi Dong sneered coldly, two massive, emerald-hued scythes appearing behind her.
"This ends now."
Sixth Spirit Skill — Eternal Wound!
BOOM—!
Twin blades of light tore through the air, slashing across the spot where Xiao Lin had fallen. Two deep, emerald scars remained in the ground, lingering with toxic energy.
"Hmph."
Bibi Dong wore a look of satisfaction. She moved forward to deliver the final blow and absorb his spirit ring.
But as the dust cleared, there wasn't even a single dragon scale left behind.
"What?!"
"Such a ruthless attack, tsk tsk."
Xiao Lin's voice rang out from nearby.
Bibi Dong's heart skipped a beat. She turned, only to find her entire force lying in ruin. Even Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were severely injured.
When did this happen?!
"Third Spirit Skill — Demon Spider Summon!"
Xiao Lin casually glanced at the venomous spiders crawling out from the ground. A spatial ripple surrounded him, and he instantly vanished from sight.
"Think you can run from me?!"
Bibi Dong's face darkened. Her third spirit skill allowed her to lock onto a target's aura. Once she got close enough, she could locate him precisely.
"Still daring to approach me?!"
She swung her scepter furiously, but no dragon appeared in front of her. Suddenly, she felt a chill on her shoulder.
"What?!"
Bibi Dong's eyes widened as she covered her chest. A piece of her robe had been torn away without her even noticing!
Her heart trembled in shock — he had approached her silently and completely unnoticed!
Rip—!
Her entire robe was suddenly shredded. Bibi Dong's face turned from shock to pure rage, but she couldn't even catch sight of her opponent.
"You bastard! If you've got the guts, come out and fight me!"
"Nope~"
Bibi Dong's eyes grew colder. She swung her scepter toward the source of the voice. But as she tried to pull her weapon back, a sudden numbness overtook her arm. Her scepter slipped from her grasp and clattered to the ground.
Hidden within the folds of space, Xiao Lin leisurely admired the alluring sight of the furious, nearly-exposed Bibi Dong.
"Damn it! If this keeps up, I'll be stripped naked!"
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, finally realizing his true intent. She locked onto Qian Renxue's position and unleashed all three of her domains at once, charging straight toward her.
Her mission was clear — the top priority was rescuing Qian Renxue.
"Leaving so soon?"
Xiao Lin's eyes narrowed. He wasn't about to let her go that easily.
Space Lockdown!
Just as Bibi Dong reached Qian Renxue and tried to pick her up, her surroundings suddenly became thick and viscous. Every step forward felt like pushing a mountain.
"It's you again, damn dragon!"
"That's right~ Hehehe…"
Xiao Lin appeared in front of her with a smug grin. Fortunately for him, she couldn't unleash her full power in this state. Otherwise, the spatial lockdown wouldn't have been able to contain her.
"What are you trying to do?!"
Bibi Dong's eyes were filled with both fury and fear. No matter how she struggled, she couldn't move an inch. Even her spirit abilities were sealed.
[Raksasha God Inheritor detected. Corrupt the target and convert her into a member of the Dark Demon Dragon Clan. Progress +15%.]
"Let me show you my newly learned ability—Seventy-Two Transformations!"
With a flash of his body, Xiao Lin shrank down to the size of a wine bottle and shot toward Bibi Dong.
