53 Not So Old Crocodile
Xue Long looked at the Second Worship. Both of them looked more or less warmed up. Though the same can't be said about the arena they were in.
The barrier has been rebuilt as those two other Worships have recovered from that blast.
"Shall we get more serious?" As the Crown Prince said that his spirit rings spin into existence and his seventh one glowed brightly.
Seeing which ring it was the Golden Crocodile Douluo did the same. His Seventh one started to glow as well.
Moments later the earth started to shake as under Xue Long's feet a vicious golden dragon started to rise. As he was standing on its head the beast slowly started to rise on its feet.
Behind him, two Dragon appeared which blurred and formed into quite a big Yin and Yang Symbol right behind the Golden Dragon King.
It was the same thing with the old man as underneath his feet a huge crocodile standing on its hind legs started to manifest.
This time, it's going to be a fight between giants.
~~~
"Xiao Xue'er we have to take distance!" Qian Daoliu said that with worry for his granddaughter.
"Hmm? Don't worry Long will take this fight away from the Spirit City." Qian Renxue said that with a knowing look.
"Take it away?"
The blonde angel girl slowly nodded as she continued to watch the True Body manifestation of Golden Dragon King. Honestly, she only saw this once before… with how rarely her fiance uses his Martial Spirit and its rings it was not surprising. This is why she is honestly excited to see him fight while using this Spirit Ring.
'Though, now that he is getting serious he is going start to abuse his spirit ring abilities and his martial arts…
Uncle Crocodile a tough battle is coming your way…'
~~~
Xue Long's eight ring glowed, one moment he was in front of the Second Worship next moment he was behind him.
"Boundless Fist of Clouds!"
As the big crocodile is about to react, the Crown Prince's second ring glowed. This made the old man lose motivation to intercept the kick!
Though the Hyper Douluo didn't realise that the kick is about to get magnified over 40 times…
***BAM***
The kick while meant for the neck it was delivered to the back which send it flying high into the air thanks to the angle it was delivered.
This was all thanks to the fluidity the Crown Prince has which he got from the Water Core.
Then once again the eight ring glowed and Xue Long was gone from the spot and reappeared high in the air.
"Boundless Fist of Calm!"
The icy palm collided with the large crocodile which was twice as big as the Golden Dragon King True Body form at this moment.
The force sends the Second Worship crashing outside the city with a large amount of force as it causes quite a big dust cloud.
Followed after the Golden Dragon opened his mouth and started to gather energy, the blue and red Yin and Yang symbol floated in front to act as magnifying mirror…
That moment as the beam reached critical mass Xue Long activated his second ring once more and the ball instantly grew several times bigger and its gold colour got slightly crimson from the amount of energy it got stored.
Then the Crown Prince released the blast which rammed into the Yin Yang symbol increasing in strength once again!
All that happened in just a few moments as the Golden Crocodile Douluo got up on its feet.
The moment he turned around he was greeted by a beam… which consumed it his whole 30-metre form.
***BOOM***
The explosion caused a huge mushroom cloud which had burning and chilly smoke coming out from it at the same time.
Xue Long who was high in the air was breathing heavily, though he was regaining his breath quite rapidly as his reserves were recovering swiftly.
Using the second ring so often puts quite a bit of strain on his reserves.
Once the smoke and cloud of dust settled down it revealed quite a bloody crocodile looking at him.
"So this is your maximum strength? For a few moments, you can reach the strength of my big brother. Impressive if I do say so. But, can you use it often?"
'This old man… I only scratched him!'
"It's good to know that my fist can reach Rank 99 for a few moments. Not many can withstand my full force." The Crown Prince said that as his third ring glowed now.
The Massive Form of Golden Dragon King once again started to gather energy into its mouth…
The Second Worship looked at this with a calculating look. He is thinking of either tank this or use his Scale cacoon for protection, he does have around half of his energy remaining though he can't tell how much the Prince has. It's hard to read the boy's reserves.
Then, however, the Beam never came instead the Golden Dragon pointed at the sky and released the blast.
'A shower style? This is the third ring ability?'
The old man thought cautiously as he looked around and waited for the impact.
Though he didn't expect the ball to turn the sky red and the Yin and Yang disc symbol floated up and changed into a horizontal position and then spread out.
'What in the world…'
Sure enough, he saw what it was… and it shocked the hell out of him!
It was a massive meteorite approaching!
It broke itself apart and then turned into countless smaller meteorites.
It passed the Yin and Yang symbol which turned the meteorites into huge balls of burning ice.
Seeing this the Second Worship realised that he was an idiot who waited for this! He could have easily tried to dodge this and spread out the meteor shower!
So instead he activated his spirit ring and brought up his defences!
**BOOM**BOOM**BOOM**
~~~
"Gods… How can this be created by the Spirit Ring ability?"
"Though the little Prince's reserves dropped significantly after using this ability."
"By this point, old Crocodile wins if he still is conscious after this."
The Worships were talking among themselves as they were observing the fiery and frosty aftermath of the shower of meteorites.
"I suppose. Though what are we going to do with the surroundings?"
"..."
"..."
"This is just outside the city…"
"...We going need to talk with old Angel about this."
~~~
"So this is the meteor shower spirit ability he has…"
"Quite the destructive potential. I don't think I know anyone else who could cause this much damage with a single sweep. Even the Clear Sky Sumeru Hammer isn't this destructive."
*Snort*
Bibi Dong snorted with disdain when she heard that.
"Don't compare Prince's incredible power with those Masochist pigs who blow up their rings for fun! It's not comparable! What Prince Xue Long does is pure destruction on the scale he selects.
If you haven't noticed he channels the amount of energy he wants and gets the meteorite of the size he wants!
This means if he is to channel all of his energy what kind of destruction it would cause?" The Supreme Pontiff was quite offended that these two idiots compared Golden King's Judgement with Great Sumeru Hammer!
Honestly! It mind-boggled her!
"...I suppose, The Meteor shower is much more customisable…"
"...True…I agree with Old Ghost here…"
*Hmph!*
The pair of bodyguards sweatdropped. The Spider woman is not a little girl! Why are you so emotional about something mundane as comparing moves!?
~~~
Once the aftermath has settled down, Crown Prince was able to see the old man standing in the same position as he was before.
"HAHAHAHAHA! What power! My Prince, you truly are one of a kind!"
Xue Long's eyes widened as what he saw had blown his mind!
The old man was not an old man anymore! The Golden Crocodile Douluo was looking middle age now!
"...You…You broke through!?"
"Indeed! I haven't had this much fun in years! I suppose the battle just put enough pressure for me to break through to Rank 99."
"...What nonsense is this…" The Prince said with shell shocked look.
That moment the Second Worship unleashed power of a completely different scale!!!
The Crown Prince was baffled to sense the sheer gap between Rank 98 and 99!
It's like comparing rank 1 with Rank 90!
"Haha! Little Brother, you did it! Only Tang Chen is another one who achieve Rank 99 without God's blessing." Qian Daoliu floated over and in between the pair.
Honestly… with the amount of destruction Xue Long has caused… the battle should end right here. He doesn't want one of those meteorites to accidentally drop on the city…
"Now, now Big Brother, it wasn't possible without help from the little Prince. He constantly impressed me with the amount of power he can bring! He is not even Titled Douluo! Yet… he forced me to use all of my power!" The Second Worship didn't accept any of the credit. It was all Xue Long in his eyes. The Crown Prince pushed him to the very limit in this battle.
A Rank 88 nearly crushing a Rank 98… This is unheard off!
"Indeed! Long'er! Your performance is simply magnificent! You embarrassing the old people here! It shows that we still have too much to work on!"
"First Worship is right. What seen here today just shows that there is much, much work for us to do!" The other Worships said that with nods as all of them were humbled and very impressed.
As it stands none of them could hold a candle to the little Prince. They…accepted it when they felt that kick… that kick alone would kill anyone below Rank 97… maybe a Defensive System Spirit Master would survive… but they? There is not that much hope… that kick was simply… world defying it's like the Crown Prince is pushing his reality on top of theirs!
While they all praised him Xue Long cancelled his Seventh Ring ability and floated down to the ground. He without any grace put his ass on frozen ground. His hands were on his knees and started to contemplate his loss.
"Yes. It was a great fight. Old Crocodile. I want a rematch when I am Titled Douluo or a Hyper Douluo."
The way he said was somewhat strange for the old men. It's like he is discussing a journey to a city next door… not cultivation realm.
"...Hahaha… my Prince… I doubt I will be your match when you reach Titled Douluo." Second Worship nerviously laughed when he heard how Xue Long will want another match when he is Titled Douluo…
"Nonsense… I will help you get stronger as well. Now that you are young again we can start with training."
The Crown Prince said that as he slowly got up on his feet and looked around. He saw his fiance just standing there and blushing like a tomato.
"Xue'er what do you think? How was my performance?" He asked his lovely darling, he didn't notice the blush she had.
"...Its… Great! Haven't seen you fight this fierce before!" She said that while not looking at him.
Then Xue Long heard a clapping.
"Magnificent Prince Xue Long. You have exceeded my wildest predictions. Not even 12! Yet, you can fight the strongest Spirit Hall has to offer.
Bibi Dong quickly took the spotlight as she with her two bodyguards landed not far from the Prince.
"Supreme Pontiff. I apologise for the destruction…"
"It's no issue. Your Martial Spirit is destruction incarnate such destruction is expected. We can easily rebuild it." The Spider Woman said that with a smile on her lips. She is happier to see her favourite person than care about material stuff… she can easily order the things to be fixed.
Seeing the woman so sweet and caring around Xue Long has sent some warning bells to Qian Renxue… while Qian Daoliu was… perplexed and even happy that she is… so accepting of him now…
This means he doesn't need to worry that she will do something to him.
"I see… well… why don't we get something to eat… I always have something… after blowing landscape like this…" The Prince said that while looking at his surroundings.
