52 Old Crocodile VS Young Dragon
"Supreme Pontiff…"
"Yes… he is here… and it appears he is facing the Old Crocodile." Bibi Dong said with a pleasant hum. She decided to check it out. She wants to see how strong he is!
Without wasting much time she moved from her throne. Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo followed right after her.
It's time to see how powerful is Xue Long. Back when she was training under his guidance she only saw glimpses of his power.
It was impressive for someone his age to wield this much power. Now she is going to see it in person.
Though… her two bodyguards were more interested to know if he will be making a Martial Field in Spirit Hall.
Not that they mentioned that to Bibi Dong. The woman is extra… intense when it comes to mentioning Xue Long. It reminds them of how she was when someone would mention that waste Yu Xiaogang.
Now…she doesn't even react to that name. It's like air or clouds in the sky… she doesn't even register it.
This could be bad or not… depending on how one looks at it…
But… the pair prefer if she is obsessed with someone who can give something back to them… unlike certain 'Grandmaster'.
~~~
After seeing Golden Crocodile Douluo transform into his merged state Xue Long did the same. Two of his dragon disappeared leaving only with Golden Dragon King.
He instantaneously merged with it into his Dragonoid form. And took Diamond Fist stance.
Behind him, a golden monk appeared. It looked pure golden by this point with six arms in different praying positions.
"Begin!"
One of the Worships said with quite an excited tone. They haven't seen a good spar in a while!
The Crown Prince lunged forward with a burst of speed as his fist collided with the Second Worship. The old man barely moved as his first yellow ring glowed and one of his clawed hands grew in size.
A huge punch went towards Xue Long.
"Deva Monk! Diamond Defence!" The golden Monk glowed in Diamond golden glow which took the hit for the Prince.
Though he got pushed back several steps.
"Whoa…what strong Martial Art! My first ring ability can instantly kill an average Titled Douluo!"
"You don't say…"
Xue Long's eyes glowed red and gold excitement was bubbling in his stomach as his spirit rings appeared behind him.
All of them were of gold and all of them are powerful.
The first one glowed and Xue Long claws glowed with pure power.
With a single stroke… he slashed 97 times…
The wind gust was so powerful that the arena underneath their feet shattered like it was crafted from brittle sand.
***SLASH***
However, all it did to Golden Crocodile Douluo was he crossed his arms and easily endured the attack!
Then he activated his fourth ring ability and grew in size…
The Crown Prince looked at this with a frown it wasn't just the size… he could feel an overall boost in strength.
The massive crocodile moved and went for another punch this time the Crown Prince crossed his arms and activated his Fifth Ring Ability.
He turned pure gold and took in the attack. That moment he activated the Fourth Ring ability as well the moment the huge fist collided with his body.
Though the Second Worship was confused what does the fourth ring even do? There were no changes to the prince at all!
That confusion didn't last long as the six arms of the Martial Avatar glowed in diamond colour.
"Deva Diamond Palm times six!" The Six arms slammed at the same time at the bigger version of the humanoid Crocodile which was a huge target.
'This old man… he is freaking durable! Why he is not a defence system!?'
This only forced the old man to take a few steps back.
"I felt that! Hahaha! It has been ages since I had to try this hard!" The Crocodile form said with a jovial tone. A moment later another ring of his glowed and the old man's jaws opened wide. Spirit Energy started to gather in his mouth.
Instead of answering back with anything Xue Long simply waited for an attack. This has sent warning bells for Second Worship.
Something was odd!
Second later a huge beam was released right into the Crown Prince.
But instead of consuming him, the beam was completely absorbed.
"I see… the fourth ring ability." The Golden Crocodile said with a realisation.
The next moment Xue Long glowed and with him being epicentre a huge explosion erupted. He released a blast strong enough to erase an average level Titled Douluo.
This blast was so strong that other Worships needed to create a barrier to hold in the waves of destructive energy.
~~~
"So powerful… he is at least Rank 97 to early 98…" Ghost Douluo said with wide eyes. He didn't expect the brat to be this powerful this early.
All Bibi Dong did in his situation simply smiled. Her smile had a certain danger to it.
"By this point, it's not if. But when…" Yue Guan, the Chrysanthemum Douluo said to Ghost Douluo.
"Yes. But don't underestimate The old Crocodile." Bibi Dong said with a small purr. She wants to see more!
~~~
As the smoke settled down, the place where was the arena it has completely turned into a crater. There was nothing left of it.
Not that Xue Long looked at the arena his eyes were on the cacoon of golden energy in front of him. It looked like an energy version of crocodile scales.
By this point, the Second Worship has abandoned his enlarged form and returned to simple merger form and his sixth ring was glowing right now.
"Impressive… you absorbed my attack and then amplified them and then released a blast. This could have mortally wounded a late 95 Rank or even 96. Truly terrifying Martial Spirit you have." The old man said with quite a proud tone.
"Perhaps. Though you are the strongest opponent I have ever faced."
"Oh? Stronger than that 270 thousand Great Beast you have?"
"Brute strength-wise? She is stronger… but utility and ability wise… you are in front by a whole mile. This makes you stronger."
"Hoh… nice to be praised by youngsters these days. Now then… why don't you go all out?" The Golden Crocodile Douluo said with slightly narrowed eyes.
"I was thinking just to do that! Be careful though… this style nearly killed Great Beast in just four strikes!!!" As Xue Long said that the pair of Water and Fire Dragon Kings manifested behind him.
They didn't stay there for long as they blurred and formed into Yin and Yang underneath his feet… then another one appeared behind him.
a large vortex of Fire and Ice surrounded him before it was blasted away as the Crown Prince took Tai Chi stance. One of his hands burning while another one had extremely cold steam.
This wasn't the end as the heavy pressure crashed into Second Worship as he realised that the very surroundings around him were the prince's weapon!
'Such profoundness is this the Boundless fists the Snake Lance mentioned in his reports?'
Before he can react the prince lunged and delivered a spin kick.
"Fresh Wind, Blowing Through the Mountains!"
A ghostly image of cold wind blowing through the mountains manifested above Xue Long and the Golden Crocodile King.
The moment the collision happened the ground even more shattered! The Force of the kick blasted everything behind the old man.
The pair of Rank 96 and 97 worships which were holding a barrier were blasted away alongside their barriers and portions of buildings were shattered…. It looked like the wind simply shredded them away…
While the Second Worship forced to skid back several metres!
'What on earth is this force behind the kick! He is pulling the very surroundings to assist him to give that extra power!?'
"Haaaaggh!!!"
Both of his legs dug deep he even forced to use his tail to stop the force of the kick. Eventually, the Hyper Douluo was able to force himself to stop.
That moment his last Ring glowed and crushing force descended on Xue Long!
The Prince's eyes widened as he quickly called forth his Spirit Rings and used his Eight Ring!
The Golden Crocodile Douluo was dumbfounded for a second as he saw that the Prince was gone and instead he was about to get attacked from behind!
"Boundless Fist of Calm!"
A palm strike of icy force was about to slam into the back of the old man…
But… the crushing force returned and slammed the prince Into the ground.
It looked like the upper jaws of Crocodile just crushed down and forced the Crown Prince to slam into the ground.
***BOOM***
After the clouds of dust settled down it showed Xue Long with ruffled clothes…
"Uhhh…damn…" The Dragonified Prince mumbled before he got up on his feet.
"Old man… that one I felt it…" He said that while pulling off his top, revealing his extremely toned chest.
"...It was my strongest attack. It could have easily crushed a Rank 96 to death… how on earth did you only got ruffled by it?"
"Oh? That's because Golden Dragon King is apex in physical attacks and resilience. Combined with two specific cores, my durability is no less than yours." He said that while stretching out a few more times.
"So… let's get couple more rounds down? I still want to practise that spin kick move. There aren't many people who can take it like you did."
"...Hahaha! Sure! Let's see who lasts longer!!!" As the humanoid Crocodile said that his tail smashed into the ground as he kicked off and rushed towards Xue Long.
The Prince saw that and rushed forward as well.
Once again, the pair started exchanging blows…
Though… one could see that the Prince's moves are extremely refined while the Second Worship is utilising his brute force and size to deliver devastating blows…
~~~
"Wow… haven't seen Long go this all out before. The only thing is missing is him shooting beams… but I think he is afraid to damage Spirit Hall." Qian Renxue said that with a slightly open mouth.
"...You saying… this is not all of his strength?"
"No it is… he is fully focusing on a single target. His beams would be counterproductive in this case… He already using his Tai Chi Boundless Fists… I am impressed by how durable is Uncle Crocodile. Those fists nearly erupted Zi Ji's organs…
Yet, all it does is simple discomfort for the Uncle." The blonde angel girl said that with some awe towards the power of the Second Worship…
"I see… Xue Long is this strong…"
Qian Daoliu remembered how he meet the prince for the first time, a few years back… and now the boy can engage his little brother like this…
Simply outstanding…
'If he continues like this he might ascend to godhood on his own… or is he doing a trial already… no there is no godly energy coming from him…' Qian Daoliu was curious about his future Grandson-in-law.
~~~
'He didn't have ice or fire attributes before… hmm, there is earth attribute there as well… those two dragons… he didn't have Martial Spirits before…
Xue Long… what have you discovered this time!?
The moment I think I have you figured out, you pull out another array of fascinating powers!' Bibi Dong thought with a frown. She was biting her lower lip while trying to understand what she was seeing!
"To…think he can keep up and fight equally against Hyper Douluo…"
"No! The Prince is winning." The Supreme Pontiff said with narrowed eyes.
"His Spirit Energy reserves are bigger than the Old Crocodile."
"...is that even possible?"
"Instead of asking me try sensing it!" The Spider lady snapped at Chrysanthemum Douluo.
"...You are right…unbelievable."
'No… it's fully believable… he has more cores… simple as that. Besides… his connection with nature rapidly replenished his reserves.'
Bibi Dong is fully in belief that Xue Long will win in a contest of pure endurance!
