Chapter 38: The Battle of Qing Tian Begins, Slaying All Enemies!
The next day, Sylves Great Spirit Arena.
At this moment, the arena was extraordinarily lively. Spectators almost filled the entire venue, making it difficult to even walk around.
The commotion Qing Tian caused yesterday was too eye-catching. Every spectator present today wanted to see the scene of Qing Tian challenging all heroes.
They wanted to see if this Qing Tian was truly confident or just overestimating himself.
Yun Yuan's lounge.
Bibi Dong was helping Yun Yuan relax by massaging his shoulders, while Yun Yuan rested with his eyes closed, waiting for the life-and-death Martial Soul duel to begin.
As noon arrived, Yun Yuan put on his mask and walked from the lounge onto the Martial Soul dueling stage.
As soon as Yun Yuan appeared, he triggered cheers from the crowd. They wanted to see a brilliant Martial Soul duel, and Yun Yuan happened to be the one who could satisfy them.
Life-and-death Martial Soul duels had no limit on the number of matches, which meant they could keep watching the same person fight.
After a while, Yun Yuan's opponent also took the stage. Titled War Hammer, he was a burly man whose Martial Soul was a hammer, just like his title. He was a Rank 38 Battle Spirit Elder.
His reason for coming up was simple. First, for fame; defeating Yun Yuan could make him renowned, and it might even lead to recruitment by powerful figures.
Second, for money. Defeating Yun Yuan would earn him ten thousand gold coins. For him, this amount was practically a massive fortune.
With ten thousand gold coins, he wouldn't have to worry about his future cultivation or life. Therefore, many Soul Elder and Soul Sect experts would challenge Yun Yuan today.
As for Great Soul Masters, there were almost none. This was because Yun Yuan's record yesterday was simply too exaggerated. Facing Soul Masters of the same level, he had killed his enemies in a single strike without even using a Soul skills. It was too terrifying.
Except for Great Soul Masters who had lost their minds, no Great Soul Master wanted to challenge Yun Yuan, who was also a Great Soul Master.
Seeing that both Yun Yuan and Wang Chui had taken the stage, the host cleared his throat and used his words to stir up the atmosphere:
"Everyone, I'm sure you all know about today's life-and-death Martial Soul duel."
"Qing Tian, a Great Soul Master, is going to challenge Soul Masters below the level of Soul King. Next, let us see how many Soul Masters' challenges Qing Tian can face."
"Whether he will meet his downfall in the very first round or fight until the final match and slay all enemies, all answers will be revealed today."
"Finally, let us welcome the upcoming Battle of Qing Tian with our most enthusiastic cheers and applause!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding spectators did not hold back their cheers and applause at all, looking excitedly at the two people about to duel below.
Half a minute later, seeing that the atmosphere had been sufficiently built up, the host began to announce the start of the duel.
"Now, the Battle of Qing Tian begins! The life-and-death battle starts now!"
On the Martial Soul dueling stage.
The moment the host announced it, War Hammer summoned his Martial Soul. A pitch-black, shiny large hammer appeared in his right hand.
Immediately after, three Soul Rings—white, yellow, and yellow—appeared on his body. His gaze toward Yun Yuan was like that of a hungry wolf, as if he wanted to devour him.
Seeing his opponent pull out a large hammer, Yun Yuan couldn't help but recall Tang Hao, whom he had defeated a year ago.
However, the hammer of the person in front of him certainly couldn't be compared to the Clear Sky Hammer; it was just an ordinary hammer.
"Qing Tian, give me your life! As long as I kill you, I won't lack for anything anymore."
Swinging the giant hammer, War Hammer charged at Yun Yuan, wanting to crush him into a meat patty.
Seeing this, Yun Yuan summoned his Martial Soul, the Atlas Spear, but did not release his Soul Rings.
Dealing with the ordinary Soul Elder before him wasn't worth Yun Yuan using a Soul skills. At the very least, he would wait until a challenger's level reached Soul Sect.
An incandescent, transparent long spear appeared. Yun Yuan stepped forward and collided with the large hammer. The two continuously exchanged blows on the Martial Soul dueling stage.
Facing War Hammer's attacks, Yun Yuan defended with ease without any pressure. Conversely, every one of Yun Yuan's strikes made War Hammer break out in a cold sweat, feeling immense pressure.
"Third Soul skills, War Hammer Impact!"
War Hammer retreated a few steps and began to gather power. At the same time, his third Soul Ring lit up, signifying that he was going to use his strongest Soul skills to finish Yun Yuan.
Facing this strike, Yun Yuan's expression turned slightly serious. The Atlas Intent manifested, causing War Hammer's thoughts to stall for a moment.
Then, Soul Power surged around Yun Yuan's body. As he brandished the Atlas Spear in his hand, the spear blade was already stained with blood amidst the flashing cold light.
On the other side, under Yun Yuan's strike, the opponent had lost his life, lying on the ground without any breath left.
After doing all this, Yun Yuan slowly walked off the Martial Soul dueling stage and headed toward the lounge.
At the same time, the spectators beside the stage frantically shouted the name of Qing Tian. Even against a Battle Spirit Elder, Qing Tian was just like yesterday—he didn't use a Soul Ring and killed his opponent in a flash of cold light.
Inside a private viewing box.
An old man with a sinister appearance stared at the Spear Intent Yun Yuan had just released. He couldn't help but be stunned, unable to calm his heart for a long time.
"A Great Soul Master with Spear Intent? How is this possible?!"
He was also a Weapon Spirit Soul Master, and his current realm was only at the level of Intent. But why could a Great Soul Master reach this realm?
Thinking of this, his heart became increasingly unbalanced. His eyes as he looked at Yun Yuan gradually turned dark, and it was unknown what he was plotting.
On the other side, in Yun Yuan's lounge.
As soon as he walked in, Bibi Dong rushed to embrace Yun Yuan, her face full of joy and pride.
"Junior brother, you're really too amazing. You don't even need Martial Soul Abilities to deal with a Soul Elder."
But facing Bibi Dong's praise, Yun Yuan just smiled and didn't pay much attention to her.
Because he had more important things to do now, which was to comprehend slaughter and make his Atlas Intent perfect and flawless.
Yun Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground, summoned the Atlas Spear, placed it on his thighs, and began his comprehension.
Seeing that Yun Yuan had serious business to attend to, Bibi Dong also withdrew her playful nature and stood by his side to guard him well.
Ten minutes later, Yun Yuan slowly opened his eyes. The Atlas Spear in his hand already had a trace of killing intent, and his own Atlas Intent had also undergone some changes.
"Two matches are far from enough; my Atlas Spear is not yet satisfied."
Next, Yun Yuan followed the pattern of taking the stage, fighting, leaving the stage, and resting. He fought continuously from noon until midnight.
During these twelve hours, Yun Yuan conducted dozens of life-and-death Martial Soul duels. Among them, about half were Soul Elders and the other half were Soul Sects. However, they were all low-level Soul Sects who couldn't even force out Yun Yuan's Soul Rings.
During this time, the killing intent of Yun Yuan's Atlas Spear gradually thickened, and the intent of slaughter he comprehended was also constantly merging into his Atlas Intent.
After midnight, Yun Yuan also welcomed his final opponent of the day.
His title was Double-Armed Mantis, and his Martial Soul was the Azure Blade Mantis. His Soul Power level was as high as Rank 48, making him the strongest opponent Yun Yuan had encountered so far.
After arriving on the stage, his eyes stared straight at Yun Yuan, and he said in a raspy voice:
"Qing Tian, don't you look down on me. My strength is nothing like those trash before."
"Don't end up getting decapitated by my sharp mantis arms before you even use a Soul skills."
With that, he summoned his Martial Soul, the Azure Blade Mantis. Four Soul Rings of the optimal configuration—yellow, yellow, purple, purple—circled around him.
Seeing this, Yun Yuan also knew that the opponent before him was not simple and intended to show his true strength.
In the next moment, a scene that both the Soul Masters and spectators present found unbelievable appeared. Yun Yuan held the Atlas Spear, and two Soul Rings, one yellow and one purple, rose from his body.
"This is impossible?!"
