Titan's expression was blank, Tano's gaze was unfocused, and as for Talon—
"Rank 47?! A support type?!"
He exclaimed in disbelief, his heart sinking into bitterness a second later.
It was over. This time, their entire family of three would be shamed. tAt
Even if Grandpa really defeated Tang Sui, but... she was just a support type!
Talon's mood was completely unknown to Titan. Upon hearing Tang Sui's rank, he didn't relax his guard just because she was a support type. Instead, his pressure intensified, rising to eighty percent as he planned to end the fight quickly.
Because he saw limitless future potential in Tang Sui.
This child, at such a young age, had already reached the Soul Ancestor level. Even as a support type, she stood unfazed against his formidable Soul Douluo power, showing no fatigue or retreat. This demonstrated the immense potential within this little girl.
Such a genius, it would be unforgivable not to recruit her into the family.
Moreover, if he took in this little girl, he could also get her brother. A losing deal for the seller, how could he, the buyer, not be tempted?
With this thought, Titan's gaze on Tang Sui grew more ardent, carrying a hint of determination.
The air, which had been rhythmically undulating in waves, suddenly became rapid, like monstrous waves surging on the sea, all the pressure crashing down in one immense surge!
"Second Spirit Skill, Benevolent Face."
Both demonic and spirit power were rapidly depleting.
Tang Sui activated her second spirit skill, and her spirit power, which had quickly dropped to less than half under Titan's pressure, was instantly replenished. The overflowing spirit power was then split in two by Tang Sui, a small portion converted into demonic power and infused into the barrier.
As the seconds ticked by, Tang San and the others watching from the sidelines became even more anxious than Tang Sui and Titan, who were battling on the air.
Xiao Wu, standing beside Zhao Wuji, watched the incense stick that was only half-burnt. Cold sweat beaded on her forehead, and she anxiously said to Zhao Wuji, "Teacher Zhao, with such terrifying pressure, Sui Sui surely can't withstand it! Can you stop them from continuing this fight?"
Although Sui Sui showed no signs of faltering, the immense pressure was causing the hard marble floor to crack under the old man's might. It was uncertain if Sui Sui could hold on in the long run.
Furthermore, she could tell that the terrifyingly powerful old man seemed to still have reserves.
Zhao Wuji looked seriously at the stage, his expression also showing a trace of anxiety, but he remained rooted to the spot, not stepping forward. "No, the bet has been made. Everything must wait until their wager is concluded."
He knew that bets between spirit masters were sacred. Even if he could step in to stop it, it would ruin Sui Sui's reputation in the spirit master world.
It would be criticized!
Oscar, overhearing this, his expression changed. He strode over to where Titan had tossed the incense stick and began blowing frantically at the small point of red flame.
"Whoosh, whoosh! Burn faster, burn faster!"
He was frantic, wishing he could break the incense stick in half.
Xiao Wu was also filled with anxiety. "But, Sui Sui..."
"Xiao San? Xiao Wu, you don't need to worry about Sui Sui. Sui Sui should be fine."
To everyone's surprise, the one who worried the least was Tang San, one of the parties involved, and the one who should have been most concerned for Tang Sui.
"Xiao San?" Xiao Wu was puzzled. Tang San did not look at Xiao Wu, but stared intently at the stage. The purple glow in his eyes clearly reflected Tang Sui's figure, yet it seemed to hold something more.
Xiao Wu couldn't see clearly. She only saw Tang San's calm profile and a hint of certainty in his trust towards Tang Sui.
For some reason, Xiao Wu's anxious heart also smoothed out considerably.
Meanwhile, on the stage, Titan's calm expression, having increased the pressure to ninety percent, finally showed cracks, tinged with anxiety.
The pressure was almost at its peak, and the energy shield Tang Sui had erected was clearly wavering, yet it hadn't broken.
Could he really have to use his full pressure on a little girl?
Titan, who had initially intended to recruit Tang Sui into his fold, fell into a dilemma as he looked at the stubborn Tang Sui.
While Titan hesitated, Tang Sui was also observing his expression and movements.
The current pressure, to be honest, even with the barrier's protection, she was still unable to move under the oppressive force. And looking at Titan's demeanor, he clearly still had some strength left.
If he were to unleash his full might...
A sly glint flashed in Tang Sui's eyes. The large, ape-like, bell-shaped red eyes in the upper right corner flickered.
After a moment of internal debate, Titan suddenly looked up and gave Tang Sui the choice. "Little girl, you're already struggling to resist my pressure. If I use my full power, it might cause irreparable damage to your body. Are you sure you want to continue?"
Tang Sui was somewhat surprised that Titan would give her the choice.
However...
Tang Sui glanced at the incense stick, which was two-thirds burnt, estimating there were about seven or eight minutes left. A drop of sweat the size of a bean rolled down her temple, stinging her eye as it flowed past her eye corner, the salt content making it difficult to open her eyes. Sudan Novel Network.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji, who was outside the arena, became even more nervous than Tang Sui. He quickly urged, "Sui Sui, concede! Your body can't afford any more damage! Don't ruin your future because of this momentary stubbornness! We can discuss things slowly later!"
