As the massive fireball descended from the sky, the temperature in the air rose rapidly.
Bibi Dong could no longer suppress the growing agitation in her chest. She gave the order without hesitation.
"All Spirit Hall soul masters, attack with full force!"
"We absolutely cannot allow that fireball to strike the ground!"
The moment her words fell, several elders activated their Martial Soul True Bodies and unleashed torrents of soul power toward the fireball above.
Their attacks howled through the air, filled with astonishing force.
However, when their strikes collided with the fireball, only deafening explosions rang out, followed by an eerie silence.
"Our attacks... are completely ineffective."
"This soul power is terrifying... he's not just a Titled Douluo—he's at the level of a Limit Douluo!"
"A Limit Douluo?"
"No one's heard of a new Limit Douluo appearing on the continent!"
Shocked, several elders stared at Lin Feng with disbelief written all over their faces.
Their attacks were like stones dropped into the ocean, only stirring faint ripples on the fireball's surface, failing to inflict any substantial damage.
"This is bad. Is this guy insane?!"
The fireball continued to descend steadily under Lin Feng's control. Everyone on the ground felt the air grow drier, their breathing increasingly labored.
Yue Guan gasped for breath and cursed aloud.
If just hovering above caused such unbearable heat, the consequences of the fireball actually landing would be unimaginable.
Bibi Dong's heart shuddered as she listened to their words.
A Limit Douluo has come to Spirit Hall?
Perfect.
That should be enough to force that old man to reveal himself.
She was deeply curious just how powerful he really was.
Her gaze shifted involuntarily toward the Hall of Worship, but it remained silent.
Much to her disappointment, even after all this time, that person showed no intention of making a move.
In the sky above—
Even Lin Feng hadn't expected the illusion to feel so realistic. Not only did it produce sound, but it also generated a noticeable change in temperature.
Of course, he knew clearly in his heart that all of this was just special effects, nothing more than an illusion.
The parched sensation experienced by those below was already the upper limit of what his illusion could simulate.
If the fireball descended even a little more, the illusion would fall apart.
The sound effects were the same—he could create thunderclaps, sword cries, Buddhist chants, demonic murmurs—but not ultrasonic attacks or anything genuinely harmful.
"This esteemed senior, may I ask how our Spirit Hall has offended you?"
Since brute force proved ineffective, Yue Guan decided to attempt a negotiation with the figure in the sky.
His voice remained calm. After all, Spirit Hall's immense power was enough to give anyone confidence.
Even Limit Douluo were not unheard of within Spirit Hall.
The silhouette projected by Lin Feng revealed a faint smile. His goal had already been achieved.
A deep and resonant voice echoed from the illusion.
"I am Xiao Yan. I heard you were looking for me... trying to challenge me?"
"Hmph. Do you really think you have the strength?"
"If anyone dares to investigate Fire-type Titled Douluo again—there will be no mercy!"
Lin Feng's voice was powerful and firm, carrying an oppressive authority that sent chills down everyone's spines.
The soul masters on the ground trembled in fear as the voice reverberated through their ears.
It felt like the blade of the Grim Reaper swinging just above their heads.
And yet, at the same time, a glimmer of hope sparked in their hearts—because it was only a warning.
Silence fell across the entire city.
The people of Spirit City waited for Spirit Hall's response. The Spirit Hall soul masters all turned to their Supreme Pontiff.
Bibi Dong remained silent for a while.
Then, finally—
"Very well. I accept."
She agreed to Lin Feng's demands without emotion on her face. If anything, she looked a little disappointed that the old man hadn't intervened.
In the sky—
The fireball illusion suddenly dissipated.
And at that exact moment, Lin Feng vanished completely, as if he had never appeared in the first place.
Once he was gone—
"Who exactly is he? How can he possess such terrifying strength?"
"To cause this much chaos over such a small matter—how arrogant!"
"His strength is frightening. He's definitely not someone we can afford to provoke."
The elders stared uneasily at the place where the fireball had vanished, each speculating anxiously about Lin Feng's identity.
On the ground—
Survivors of the ordeal cheered and rejoiced, grateful to still be alive.
"You two—spread the word. Spirit Hall is no longer to investigate that individual."
Bibi Dong ordered coldly.
She then turned and flew back toward the main hall, tossing a casual command to Yue Guan and Gui Mei as if nothing had just happened.
Since Qian Daoliu didn't care, why should she?
After all, it was only Spirit Hall's face that had been humiliated. Frankly, she was quite pleased with that.
Her gaze turned frosty as she muttered to herself:
"The Qian Clan... heh."
At the Hall of Worship—
"Hmph! How could the Supreme Pontiff act so weakly?"
"What will the outside world think of Spirit Hall now?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo grumbled, full of indignation, as he turned to Qian Daoliu.
Qian Daoliu said nothing. He merely cast a casual glance at him.
Golden Crocodile immediately shut his mouth, understanding the message.
"It's a small matter. Let her deal with it."
Right now, Qian Daoliu cared only about one thing—his granddaughter.
He wanted Qian Renxue to inherit the God Position and become Spirit Hall's eternal faith—the Angel God.
As for that so-called Fire-type Limit Douluo?
He figured the man was probably just Rank 98 at most.
If all he could do was create an illusion that blotted out the sky, Golden Crocodile could do that too.
The gap between Rank 98 and Rank 99 wasn't so easily crossed.
Qian Daoliu sighed and turned to leave.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Lin Feng returned from Spirit Hall and reappeared in his dormitory within seconds.
Just as his spirit re-entered his body, there was a knock at the door.
Knock knock.
"Lin Feng! Lin Feng!"
"Are you in there?"
Dugu Yan's anxious voice called from outside.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Feng jumped out of bed and opened the door.
"Huh? Lingling's here too?"
"You brought her into the boys' dorm?"
His question didn't faze Dugu Yan at all. She walked straight into his room like it was the most natural thing in the world.
Ye Lingling, however, blushed deeply—this was her first time stepping inside.
"What are you standing there for? Come in!"
Lin Feng reached out and gently pulled Lingling inside.
"What else?"
"We were in class just now, and then you suddenly disappeared."
"Can't I worry about you?"
Dugu Yan turned around with a mischievous smile.
"You're worried about me?"
Lin Feng pointed to himself, looking confused.
"Of course."
"Didn't you see what happened at the training grounds just now?"
"It was like the apocalypse—fireworks lighting up the sky!"
"Everyone's saying it was the same Fire-type Titled Douluo who took the Fire Crystal in Sunset Forest."
"But isn't the Fire Crystal with us?"
"Could there really be another Fire-type Titled Douluo out there?"
Dugu Yan stared at Lin Feng's confused expression and began excitedly recounting the day's events.
"Uh... I was just cultivating."
"I didn't notice anything!"
"And I don't know anything about this Fire-type Douluo stuff either."
"Maybe there really is a reclusive powerhouse out there... who just happens to be Fire-type!"
Lin Feng rubbed his nose, unable to meet her eyes, trying to casually brush off her questions.
There was no way anyone would believe there wasn't a Fire-type Titled Douluo now.
Especially not when the very person she was speculating about had just caused a stir in Spirit Hall.
"I suppose... that's the only explanation."
Dugu Yan nodded as she pondered his reply, then turned to Lin Feng with a bright smile.
"Well, since nothing else is going on—Lingling, why don't you take the immortal herb Lin Feng gave you today?"
With that, she happily took Ye Lingling's hand and led her forward.
