The neck is a weak point of the human body; even a Spirit Master will suffer some damage if struck there.
"Bang…"
Just as Xiao Wu thought her move had worked, something unknown blocked her attack. Xiao Wu's face was filled with surprise. She looked around but found nothing unusual; her leg felt as if it had been stopped by an invisible wall of air.
The effect of force is mutual. The moment Xiao Wu's leg was repelled, her delicate body spun 720 degrees in the air before her legs landed on the ground, demonstrating the terrifying explosive power of her rabbit legs.
Tang San, watching from the stands, saw the scene unfold with a grave expression. His Purple Demon Eye allowed him to clearly see the changes on the field. Such an elusive defensive method indicated that the opponent's strength was not to be underestimated. Tang San couldn't help but worry for Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu, landing on the ground, swayed her delicate body. Just as she was about to lose her balance, she leaned forward, supporting herself with one hand on the ground, finally stabilizing her posture. Her brows furrowed slightly as she looked at Lin Chen with a serious expression; Lin Chen's strength had exceeded her imagination.
Instantly, a pink light illuminated Xiao Wu's body, and her first Spirit Ability, Waist Bow, was activated.
In the stands, the Shrek Academy members were also somewhat nervous. They had all witnessed Xiao Wu's solo combat ability; even Dai Mubai, who had the highest spirit power level among them, couldn't gain any advantage against Xiao Wu, yet Lin Chen had so easily neutralized Xiao Wu's attack!
After Xiao Wu's toes lightly touched Lin Chen's arm, her arms easily hooked onto his. Her other leg immediately lifted, aiming a kick at Lin Chen's chest.
The imagined scene of Lin Chen being kicked away did not occur. The moment her foot contacted Lin Chen's chest, it was again blocked by a transparent wall of air.
Xiao Wu, who had a slight smile on her face, suddenly furrowed her brows tightly. She felt a sharp pain in her ankle.
Lin Chen grabbed her ankle, lifted his hand, and threw her high into the air. At the same time, Lin Chen's figure instantly vanished from his original spot.
Xiao Wu, thrown high into the sky, faced upwards, her body slightly bent, her limbs flailing.
When his figure reappeared, he was directly above Xiao Wu. Seeing this, Xiao Wu immediately panicked. The corner of his mouth beneath the mask curved slightly upwards. Lin Chen lifted his right foot and kicked Xiao Wu in the face. The mask on her face instantly shattered into countless fragments, scattering downwards.
Xiao Wu's body plummeted rapidly. With a loud "bang," her body slammed heavily onto the Soul Arena. Xiao Wu, who landed headfirst, had already lost consciousness the moment Lin Chen kicked her, completely falling into a coma. Her previously delicate face was now unrecognizable, and a large lump visibly swelled on her head.
The entire arena was silent, a deathly stillness. The audience was utterly dumbfounded, and even the host, who had presided over countless Soul Arena matches, stood there with his mouth agape.
No one had expected such a outcome. A Spirit Elder with the optimal spirit ring configuration of two yellow and one purple was actually crushed by his opponent, who didn't even use a Spirit Ability, and was knocked unconscious.
In the stands, the members of Shrek Academy also widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief. Tang San gritted his teeth, his body trembling incessantly. His hands were tightly clenched, and his face was terrifyingly grim. He would never let go of anyone who harmed Xiao Wu. Clearly, Lin Chen had chosen a path to death!
Dai Mubai, noticing Tang San's unusual demeanor, immediately comforted him, saying, "Little San, calm down. Don't do anything foolish. This is the Great Spirit Arena, and the forces behind it are complex; we can't deal with them. If you want revenge, you'll have to wait until that guy leaves the Soul Arena!"
Recalling Tang San's desperate actions when Zhao Wuji harmed Xiao Wu on the day of their entrance examination, Dai Mubai understood Tang San's intentions. However, the Great Spirit Arena could stand firm on the Douluo Continent, and its background was imaginable; even the two great Empires would not easily provoke the Great Spirit Arena.
Upon hearing Dai Mubai's words, Tang San's fists slightly loosened. He temporarily suppressed the killing intent in his heart and nodded gently.
Just then, Lin Chen's figure reappeared beside Xiao Wu, bent down, grabbed Xiao Wu's ankle, and violently swung her, throwing her into the sky.
Instantly, a clamor erupted in the Soul Arena stands. Both the audience and the referee had reacted; Xiao Wu had clearly lost, but the referee had not made any judgment!
As for Lin Chen's renewed attack, everyone thought it was normal, as the match was still ongoing.
"No…" Tang San also reacted, exclaiming, then immediately rushed forward and shouted at the referee, "Referee, we surrender! Soft Bones Demon Rabbit surrenders!"
However, everything was too late. Lin Chen's figure, just like before, appeared above Xiao Wu, lifted his leg, and kicked her in the stomach. Xiao Wu's body became a cannonball, tracing an arc, and flew rapidly towards Tang San's direction, scarlet blood scattering in the air.
"I announce that the winner of this soul battle is Hand Chopping Sword!" The referee also reacted and immediately announced the final result.
As for Xiao Wu's injuries, he didn't care at all. Coming to the Soul Arena to fight, regardless of life or death, had nothing to do with the Soul Arena. Since she chose to step onto the stage to fight, she must have known such rules long ago.
As for injuries, they happened every day in the Great Spirit Arena; it was a completely normal occurrence!
Tang San performed Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and caught Xiao Wu as she fell from the sky. The extreme gravity generated from Xiao Wu falling from dozens of meters made Tang San look disheveled even though he caught her precisely. Both of them fell to the ground. Fortunately, Tang San bore most of the damage, and Xiao Wu's injuries did not worsen.
A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Tang San's mouth. He immediately sat up, holding Xiao Wu tightly in his arms, and looked up at Lin Chen on the Soul Arena, his eyes burning with rage. Two yellow and one purple spirit rings slowly rose beneath him, and an unconcealed killing intent poured directly towards Lin Chen.
Lin Chen and Tang San's gazes met on the stage. Lin Chen's eyes were full of provocation. The corners of his mouth curved high, and his half-covered mask could not hide his smile. Lin Chen raised his right hand and beckoned to Tang San with his index finger, full of defiance.
"Go on…"
"Fight…"
"If you're a man, come at me!"
"Kill him, kill him…"
Lin Chen's actions instantly caused a sensation among the entire audience.
