Yan Jin flew into the sky, chasing after Walter. They faced each other in the air, separated by the frozen river.

Walter slowly said, "It's truly astonishing. In just under ten years, you've grown to a point where even I have to look up to you… I should have had you all join the Spirit Hall back then."

Yan Jin scratched her head and replied, "Even if we had joined the Spirit Hall earlier, I don't think the situation would have changed much. Amon seems to have already defined his goals and is gradually approaching them.

"Maybe the process would have been different, but the outcome seems to have been predetermined from the start… I even think he foresaw today's situation when he first met me."

A trace of doubt appeared on Walter's face. "What exactly is your purpose? If you really want to conquer the Heaven Dou Empire, why haven't you made a move yet?

"Your actions are strange. The army seems to be deliberately delaying, waiting for the Heaven Dou Empire to be ready. Don't tell me that Thunderclap, who is known as the 'God of War,' is only this capable."

Well… he might really be only this capable, Yan Jin thought to herself. She shrugged and responded:

"I don't know. Anyway, Amon instructed us to not rush to defeat you. He told us to restrain our strength as much as possible and fight you with the army itself."

Yan Jin had no intention of keeping secrets. She chattered on and on.

She blurted out everything she knew, including the army's strategic goals, personnel composition, deployment locations, and even the specific action plan for the future.

In her mind, if Amon didn't ask for secrecy, then there was no need to keep anything secret… And that was indeed the case.

Even if the Spirit Hall knew that Amon's purpose in launching the war was the war itself, Bibi Dong would still cooperate with him, because she also needed such a war.

And Amon knew that Bibi Dong needed such a war and needed her to participate in such a war.

Walter opened his mouth. For a moment, he almost thought that Yan Jin wanted to betray Amon and jump to the Spirit Hall's side.

He said with a strange expression, "Actually, you don't have to be so detailed. I was just a little curious and wanted to confirm my guesses."

"Old man, you don't really think we're counting on that group of trash to play a decisive role in the war, do you? The real victory lies in me and Amon, in Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu… Even Thunderclap and Golden Crocodile are a bit lacking." Yan Jin wore an arrogant smile on her face.

She advised, "You can't beat me now. Leave the Spirit Hall and come to our side…

"You don't have to worry about Amon doing anything to you. You have no value for him to exploit right now. He'll just ignore you."

Walter was silent for a moment, then shook his head with a smile. "I appreciate your kindness, but there are always some things that make people willing to risk everything."

"Tch… That sounds as believable coming from your mouth as Amon saying he never lies." Yan Jin curled her lips.

The smile on Walter's face gradually faded, his expression slowly becoming stern, and spirit power surged around him. The aura of a Titled Douluo, mixed with killing intent, was released:

"Let me see how much you've improved over the years… Don't hold back. We're enemies now.

"Let me teach you one last lesson. Once you've identified your opponent, don't hesitate. Do your best to kill them…

"No matter what your relationship was before, in battle, there is only life and death."

Countless threads shot into the sky from all directions, transforming into spears and stabbing towards Yan Jin.

Walter was indeed fighting with the intention of killing Yan Jin, just as he had said.

He continued his usual fighting style, not holding back because the opponent was his disciple.

From the beginning of his conversation with Yan Jin, he had secretly been setting up a net around her. Once activated, it would be a shocking move.

Looking at the threads surging like countless flying snakes, Yan Jin just smiled faintly:

"Don't worry, I won't hold back, because there's no need to even lift a hand…"

She said with a solemn expression, "Old man, you should learn to respect the strong…"

A spirit pressure of level 98, accompanied by the Dragon Might brought by Di Tian's spirit bone and the terrifying mental power brought by Skydream's head spirit bone, formed an immense pressure that spread in all directions.

The clouds stopped, the wind ceased. The terrifying pressure, like a mountain, crushed many birds and beasts to death within its range.

All the thread spears immediately stagnated, then collapsed. Walter's figure also stagnated, and then also collapsed.

Walter, he wasn't using his real body when facing Yan Jin, but a puppet!

Yan Jin swept her mental power and slowly walked in one direction.

She came to a grove of trees hundreds of meters away and saw Walter, who was kneeling on one knee, trembling, and sweating profusely because of the pressure she was emitting.

Walter's threads could block spirit power and shield mental detection to some extent, which was why his true body was so difficult to detect, and why he was feared by many Titled Douluos when he was a Spirit Douluo.

But Yan Jin directly used a covering pressure to force him out, using the simplest and most violent means to break his concealment.

Yan Jin said with a serious expression and a deep tone:

"Remember, don't rashly attack Soul Masters who are much stronger than you, or you'll lose your life."

This sounded a bit familiar… Walter widened his eyes and realized after careful recollection that these were the words he had once used when he used spirit pressure to pressure Yan Jin, half-forcing her to accept him as a master.

After saying this, the expression on Yan Jin's face couldn't hold back any longer. It gradually distorted, looking like she wanted to laugh but was trying hard to hold it in.

In the end, she laughed out loud:

"Hahaha… I've wanted to say that for a long time! I finally found the opportunity!"

She laughed for a long time, finally calmed down, retracted the pressure on her body, and threw a ring to Walter:

"Speaking of which, I haven't given you a master apprenticeship gift yet… Although it's a bit late, let me make it up now."

Walter took the ring and found that it contained the entire set of spirit bones above 50,000 years that Yan Jin had once given him, but he had refused.

After a long silence, Walter sighed and reminded:

"Amon may have other purposes for you… The more he gives, the more he will take."

He thought this stupid disciple would question him or not believe him, but to Walter's surprise, Yan Jin just nodded calmly:

"I know… Amon is not a good person… But so what? He gave me everything I have today… That's enough.

"All gifts of fate are secretly marked with a price…

"This is something he told me a long time ago. I repaid your gift with Tang Hao's life, and I have not yet repaid the price for his gift.

"No matter what I have to pay, I can accept it, because what I have gained is enough for me to repay with everything."

She showed a bright smile: "So old man, don't die. You have to live. If something happens to me, please take care of Morey and the others… They are all good kids, and I believe you won't hate them."

This time, Walter didn't refuse and accepted the spirit bones.

Just then, a silver-white light flashed on Walter's body. This light transformed into a complex icon, suspended in the air.

Walter's face changed, and he reminded:

"This is a beacon left by the fifth elder, Guang Ling. He can use this to lock onto our location from a distance and then teleport himself and others here through space."

Yan Jin understood what Walter meant. He was reminding her to leave.

She shook her head, revealing a confident smile, and placed her right fist on her chest:

"Who's afraid? Even if all the elders of your Spirit Hall come, I'll still fight them all!"

She could completely use her ninth spirit ability, "Space Lock," to interfere with the spatial movement, but she didn't do so, allowing the other party to cast it.

The gap between Walter and her was too great now. Just overcoming the pressure she emitted required mental preparation.

Yan Jin was looking forward to a stronger opponent, an opponent that could make her go all out… Even Tang Hao, even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, she had not yet used her full strength!

The silver-white light soared into the sky, gradually spreading and forming a pillar of light dozens of meters high, from which a dozen vague figures emerged.

Then, the light gradually receded, and those dozen figures revealed their true faces.

Bibi Dong, Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, Majestic Lion, Guang Ling, Qian Jun, Descending Demon, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, Demonic Bear, Ghost Leopard, Tuoba Xi, She Long, Thorn Blood… plus Walter.

The fifteen Titled Douluos of the Spirit Hall, except for the Great Priest Qian Daoliu, were all gathered here!

Walter's pupils shrank. Although he had expected the Spirit Hall to attach great importance to this war, the deployment of such a lineup from the beginning was somewhat beyond his expectations.

"How embarrassing, Walter. It seems you were crushed in strength by your disciple." Yue Guan said with a smile.

He judged from Walter's condition and the surrounding traces that the two should have fought, but the fighting process would not be very intense. Either they exchanged a few symbolic moves, or one side was defeated without any resistance.

Yue Guan guessed that it was probably the latter, and the defeated party was Walter.

"Hmph… What's wrong with surpassing the master? I'm very proud to have such a disciple." Walter responded indifferently.

Bibi Dong stepped forward, looked at Yan Jin, and said in a calm voice:

"For Walter's sake, if you are willing to abandon the darkness and come to the light, I can let bygones be bygones."

She had heard the reports from Golden Crocodile, Qian Jun, and Descending Demon, and knew that Yan Jin had defeated Tang Hao with absolute advantage. In her dragon form, the aura she exuded made the three of them feel palpitations.

Although the other party's spirit power level had not yet reached the limit, with Di Tian's Soul Ring and Di Tian's spirit bone, such terrifying super Soul Rings and bones far exceeding 100,000 years were enough to bridge the level gap. She could be completely treated as a Limit Douluo!

If possible, Bibi Dong hoped to win her over rather than fight to the death.

Yan Jin raised an eyebrow and met her gaze without fear:

"Abandon the darkness and come to the light… Who is the darkness, and who is the light?

"Let bygones be bygones… What are you letting go of?

"You big spider!"
