As his words fell, Liu Yuan finally made his move.
Under the breathless gazes of tens of thousands of spectators, the air around Liu Yuan suddenly twisted and distorted.
Immediately after, a terrifying pressure that surpassed all living beings erupted outward with him at its center, sweeping across the arena like a tidal wave.
He no longer held back, directly unleashing the strongest power hidden deep within his body.
"Martial Soul Possession."
Liu Yuan softly uttered those three words.
In the next instant, an emerald-green light burst forth from the position of the Soul Core at his chest, like a jade meteor soaring into the heavens.
Within that light, his physical structure underwent a qualitative transformation. Fine emerald-green dragon scales with a cold metallic sheen spread across his skin. Dragon horns engraved with mysterious patterns extended from both sides of his forehead, while two streamlined airflow feelers stretched from his spine, swaying rhythmically in the wind.
This was the Mega Rayquaza form after Martial Soul Possession.
Liu Yuan had entered a half-human, half-dragon state. His pupils narrowed into icy vertical slits, and unstable air currents churned violently around his body.
Yet this was not what shocked the crowd the most.
What truly plunged the entire Mingdu Plaza into absolute silence was the spirit rings rising one after another beneath his feet.
At first, the configuration was astonishing, but still barely within the bounds of comprehension.
However, when the final seventh spirit ring—symbolizing a qualitative leap—slowly appeared, the sky itself seemed to dim slightly.
A streak of blood-red emerged.
A vivid, dripping crimson that radiated an aura of endless slaughter and destruction.
A hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.
"A hundred-thousand-year soul ring?! How is that possible?!"
On the viewing platform, Xuan Zi dropped his wine gourd straight to the ground, his face frozen in disbelief.
He stared blankly at the blood-red ring, his mind completely empty.
Even with Shrek Academy's foundation, absorbing a hundred-thousand-year soul ring at the Soul Sage level was nothing but fantasy. And yet Liu Yuan stood there, exuding a pressure so refined and terrifying that even a Super Douluo like him felt an instinctive sense of danger.
Nearby, Ma Xiaotao was equally shaken.
She had been speculating about Liu Yuan's strength for days, but she never imagined he had already reached such a realm.
As Liu Yuan's direct opponent, Long Aotian was the most stunned of all.
The secondary awakening of his once-proud Original Body Martial Soul looked pale and utterly powerless beneath the radiance of that blood-red spirit ring.
"You… you've actually reached this level…" Long Aotian gritted his teeth, desperately trying to maintain his Unity of Man and Nature state.
But Liu Yuan had no interest in exchanging words.
His figure shifted slightly, and the Soul Core within his body began to spin at a frenzied pace.
The high-speed rotation didn't just provide an endless supply of spirit power—it compressed its quality to the extreme.
At this moment, Liu Yuan's spirit power density had already surpassed that of most Spirit Douluo.
He didn't activate Dragon Dance to stack strength or speed.
To Liu Yuan, dealing with Long Aotian didn't require that level of amplification.
The basic attributes of the Mega Rayquaza Martial Soul, combined with the enhancement of the Soul Core, had already placed him at a height his peers couldn't even fathom.
Liu Yuan didn't use a single offensive spirit ability.
He merely kicked lightly against the ground.
Boom!
Several cracks instantly spread across the arena floor, which was forged from a special alloy defensive layer.
Liu Yuan's figure vanished from his original position.
This wasn't spatial teleportation—it was ultra-high-speed movement achieved purely through explosive physical power.
Long Aotian was already in a state of extreme focus, yet his eyes failed to capture even the slightest trace of Liu Yuan's movement.
In his perception, Liu Yuan had transformed into a streak of aurora that tore straight through the void.
When Liu Yuan reappeared, his dragon-scaled iron fist was already right in front of Long Aotian.
Long Aotian's pupils shrank violently.
At the critical moment, relying on the instinctive combat awareness honed by the Body Sect, he poured all his spirit power into his arms and crossed them before his face, attempting to block the strike head-on.
Bang!
A thunderous explosion echoed across the arena.
Long Aotian felt as if a falling planet had smashed straight through his arms.
His so-called indestructible physical defense collapsed instantly under Liu Yuan's fist.
His bones let out a strained groan, and his entire body was blasted backward like a cannonball struck by a giant hammer.
Long Aotian spun dozens of times through the air, slammed his feet into the ground, and carved two deep furrows across the arena floor before barely stopping.
Panting heavily, he lifted his head and stared at Liu Yuan in shock, his voice tinged with unwillingness.
"Is this… your Extreme Speed? That speed just now… I could barely react."
Liu Yuan hovered calmly in midair, emerald-green currents swirling around him like a divine mantle.
Hearing Long Aotian's words, he simply smiled faintly and shook his head.
"Extreme Speed?"
Retracting his fist, Liu Yuan spoke in an utterly flat tone.
"Long Aotian, you misunderstand. That speed just now was nothing more than a normal physical attack. It wasn't even a warm-up."
As he said this, Liu Yuan lifted his gaze slightly, a trace of amusement flashing through his vertical pupils.
"If you want to see Extreme Speed… then it should look like this."
The instant his voice fell, Liu Yuan vanished once more.
This time, there were no afterimages.
No air distortions.
Swish!
In less than a blink, Liu Yuan appeared directly in front of Long Aotian, the distance between them less than five centimeters.
Long Aotian didn't react at all.
His brain hadn't even had time to issue a defensive command. His eyes were still fixed on the spot where Liu Yuan had been hovering moments ago.
Liu Yuan's fist swung again.
This time, the punch was wrapped in a thin layer of flowing emerald-green light—the ultimate kinetic energy driven by the Extreme Speed spirit ability.
The blow landed squarely on Long Aotian's face.
In that instant, Long Aotian felt as though his body had lost all weight.
There was no pain.
Only the sensation of the world around him retreating at terrifying speed.
His Unity of Man and Nature state, his Heaven and Earth Rotation defense—everything shattered like fragile paper under the impact of Extreme Speed.
Amid the horrified screams of tens of thousands of spectators, Long Aotian was blasted straight through the arena's defensive barrier, his body becoming nearly invisible due to the sheer velocity.
Rumble—!
He crashed violently onto the open ground outside the arena.
The earth collapsed instantly, dirt and stone exploding outward as a massive crater over ten meters wide formed before everyone's eyes.
At the center of the deep pit, Long Aotian lay motionless.
Life or death—unknown.
