Chapter 113: Yu Xiaogang's Spirit Fighting Debut
"It truly is an excellent control-type Soul Skill."
Yu Xiaogang praised.
"There's more to it. The strength of my third Soul Skill, the Spiderweb, is determined by me, the Soul Master."
"The stronger my power, the stronger the web, the more webs I can release at once, and the larger the webs become."
"In other words, this is a control skill I can use even when I become a Titled Douluo. When my teacher first learned of this Soul Skill of mine, he was utterly astonished."
Bibi Dong proudly revealed all the details of her third Soul Skill.
"How incredibly powerful!"
Seeing Bibi Dong's proud expression, Yu Xiaogang cooperatively put on a look of shock.
For anyone else, that shock would have been genuine, but Yu Xiaogang's own first two Soul Skills were of the same type.
Therefore, his reaction was much more muted.
"Hehe."
Seeing Yu Xiaogang's shocked face, Bibi Dong giggled foolishly.
Ever since meeting Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong had always been the one left astonished.
Whether it was Yu Xiaogang's Soul Rings, his Martial Soul, his fighting style, or his true combat prowess, all of it left Bibi Dong feeling incredulous.
And along with that incredulity came a competitive spirit, a refusal to admit defeat.
Now that she finally had something impressive enough to shock Yu Xiaogang, she couldn't help but feel immensely pleased.
"Alright, now that we understand the situation, let's head to the Great Spirit Arena. Today might just be my debut."
"Your debut? Then I must bear witness to it properly."
"ヾ(≧O≦)〃 Aoo~"
Not long after, at the Great Spirit Arena in Spirit City.
"Registering a team: the dragon emperor team."
Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong stood before the team registration counter, waiting for their information to be recorded.
"You are... Spider Empress Bibi Dong?"
The registration manager recognized Bibi Dong at a glance. As the Disciple of the Pope of the Spirit Hall and a regular at the Great Spirit Arena in Spirit City, Bibi Dong's fame was quite high.
"Have you finally found a suitable teammate?"
The manager looked Yu Xiaogang up and down, mentally reviewing recent news from Spirit City but finding no match for him.
"That's right. From now on, I can finally participate in two-on-two Spirit Fights."
Bibi Dong's face was full of anticipation.
She had grown tired of one-on-one Spirit Fights and was finally able to try something different.
"It seems you are very satisfied with this teammate of yours."
The manager said with a smile, handing an information form to Yu Xiaogang for him to fill out.
Taking the form, Yu Xiaogang quickly completed it and handed it back to the manager.
The manager looked at the information on the form with curiosity, wondering what kind of person could catch the eye of the Pope's Disciple.
Then he froze.
"Yu Xiaogang, codename Light Dragon, Soul Power level 24?"
The manager looked up at Yu Xiaogang, as if asking him to confirm there was no mistake.
After all, with Bibi Dong's level being over 30, why would she choose a Great Soul Master as her teammate?
Unexpectedly, before Yu Xiaogang could speak, Bibi Dong spoke up first.
"It's level 24, you read it correctly. His strength has my approval, so don't doubt it."
Bibi Dong said with annoyance.
Mentioning Yu Xiaogang's Soul Power level involuntarily reminded Bibi Dong of her previous defeat at his hands.
"Ah... alright, alright, I understand."
Seeing Bibi Dong's reaction, the manager instantly understood something. He gasped, looking at Yu Xiaogang with disbelief.
Bibi Dong was the Pope's Disciple! A Genius like her could be defeated by someone of a lower Rank?
"Stop dawdling. We're waiting to fight."
Seeing the manager grasp the reason, Bibi Dong felt even more uncomfortable.
If only she hadn't fought that match earlier!
"Hmph, my fourth Soul Ring must compensate for my spiritual weakness. Otherwise, I'll never have a chance to defeat him."
Bibi Dong thought to herself.
"Alright, alright, I'll process it for you right away."
The manager immediately sped up, registering their information and arranging a match for them.
After the two left, the manager asked a colleague to temporarily cover for him and ran to the arena to see for himself how this Yu Xiaogang could possibly have defeated Bibi Dong.
And then he witnessed a scene that shattered his worldview.
"Next, let's welcome the dragon emperor team versus the Blood-Stained Duo!"
Following the host's introduction, Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong stepped onto the arena stage. Opposite them stood two burly men.
"Even kids are participating in Spirit Fights? Don't make me laugh. Go back home and drink your milk!"
Right from the start, the Blood-Stained Duo began trash-talking. Being a newly formed team, they didn't recognize the highly famous Bibi Dong.
"Will you do it, or shall I?"
Bibi Dong glanced at Yu Xiaogang.
"I'll handle it. My attack speed is faster."
Yu Xiaogang stepped forward. The moment the host announced the start, two purple Soul Rings rose.
Instantly, the previously raucous cheers were choked off as if by the neck. The entire arena fell so silent you could hear a pin drop.
The two members of the Blood-Stained Duo also stood dumbfounded, one even rubbing his eyes.
However, Yu Xiaogang wouldn't stop just because they were stunned. He condensed two long rods and controlled them to fly towards the two men.
Only when the rods were right in front of them did the Blood-Stained Duo members react, hastily raising their defenses.
But unfortunately, Yu Xiaogang's strength was far beyond what they could withstand.
Soon, the two were beaten to a pulp by the rods. Afterwards, Yu Xiaogang transformed the rods into Light Swords and held them at the men's throats.
With that, the battle ended, taking only tens of seconds.
"Th-the battle is over! The dragon emperor team wins!"
"Heavens! Who exactly is this contestant named Light Dragon?"
"His first two Soul Rings are both purple, thousand-year Soul Rings!"
"How did he accomplish this?"
The host responsible for the match, seeing what Yu Xiaogang displayed, especially the Soul Rings, couldn't help but be greatly shocked.
The spectators in the audience, stirred by the host's excited voice, snapped out of their daze.
On the arena stage, under everyone's gaze, Yu Xiaogang withdrew his Soul Rings, completing his life's first Spirit Fighting debut.
"How did it feel?"
Bibi Dong, who hadn't lifted a finger the entire time, came to Yu Xiaogang's side and asked.
"It doesn't seem much different from a normal fight."
Yu Xiaogang rested his chin on his hand, feeling unsatisfied with the battle.
"It's mainly because our current Spirit Fighting medal Rank is too low."
"With an Iron Spirit Fighting Medal and no record, the Great Spirit Arena can only arrange similar opponents for us."
"But I believe we'll encounter powerful opponents soon enough."
Bibi Dong said with some anticipation.
Fights at the Great Spirit Arena were different from sparring matches within the academy. Those who fought here had to pay to register.
Therefore, fights at the Great Spirit Arena were generally more intense.
This was also why Bibi Dong loved coming here. Only here could she experience the true thrill of real combat.
"You handled this fight. Next time it's my turn. We'll take turns, one match each, no one steals the other's."
"So, you wanted to do two-on-two just to fight multiple opponents, didn't you?"
"Because one-on-one simply isn't enough for me. You'll understand once you experience it later. One-on-one can't satisfy the combat needs of people like us."
Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang discussed their future battle arrangements on the stage.
Meanwhile, below the stage, a group of people gazed at Yu Xiaogang with greedy eyes.
