"Please welcome both contestants to the stage."

"On my right is the level 35 Soul Elder, Violent King Kong, who currently holds a record of seven consecutive victories."

"On my left is a newcomer, a level 33 Soul Elder... Oh, this contestant's title is quite interesting!"

"Wake Up Thunder!"

At Suotuo City's Grand Spirit Fighting Arena, the host Doudou was introducing the two duelists.

"A newcomer? He's just a kid!"

"Don't underestimate kids. Didn't you hear his level? Level 33! He's definitely a genius!"

"That's true. Then it's hard to say who'll win this match."

"I still favor Violent King Kong. I'm betting on Violent King Kong!"

"Me too. Wake Up Thunder... That title is a mouthful, so let's just call him Thunder. Thunder is a newcomer after all, so he probably doesn't have much combat experience. He's likely just here to train!"

"Geniuses are beyond our understanding. I'm betting on Thunder!"

"..."

After Doudou introduced both sides, the audience throughout the Spirit Fighting Arena began discussing the match.

Those who came here to watch duels were either nobles or wealthy merchants. There were very few commoners. While enjoying the thrill of the fights, they also placed bets. It was a double dose of excitement, and picking the winner meant double the joy.

"How long do you think Su Xing will need to win?"

"If Su Xing goes all out, just a few seconds!"

"That kid Su Xing is a freak. He's invincible below the Soul Ancestor rank!"

In the stands, Su Xing's teammates watched the duel with relaxed expressions.

Naturally, they were not nervous, because they all knew how powerful Su Xing was!

He was monstrously powerful.

"He really is a monster. He doesn't even need guidance from a teacher like me."

Qin Ming watched Su Xing in the arena and silently thought to himself.

He was extremely satisfied with Su Xing.

Yet he was also helpless, because he had realized that he could not guide Su Xing at all.

What Spirit Rings to obtain and how to train Spirit SkillsSu Xing needed none of that.

What Su Xing needed was Self-Created Soul Skills, but Qin Ming could not teach him that. It would be more like Su Xing teaching him.

"Great Vajra Ape!"

"Kid, release your Martial Soul!"

On the dueling platform, after releasing his Martial Soul, Su Xing's opponent shouted provocatively at him.

"To deal with you, I don't need to use my Martial Soul."

Su Xing merely glanced at him and replied calmly.

It was not that Su Xing insisted on saying arrogant things. He had no choice.

Since his opponent had asked, he could hardly honestly say that he had no Spirit Rings, could he?

It would be fine if his opponent believed him, but if not, he would keep asking all sorts of pointless questions.

So this was the most efficient answer, and it could instantly get under his opponent's skin.

"What did you say?"

"You little brat, you're courting death!"

"First Spirit Skill, Brute Force Heavy Armor!"

Sure enough, Violent King Kong immediately flew into a rage upon hearing Su Xing's words. He instantly activated his first Spirit Skill, enhancing his speed and attack power.

Boom!

Violent King Kong then charged at Su Xing like a crazed beast.

Bang!

Violent King Kong quickly arrived before Su Xing and threw a punch at him.

Su Xing did not dodge. He met the attack head-on.

Their fists collided in an instant!

Boom!

A powerful wave of Soul Power erupted from the collision between them and swept in every direction.

Bang.

Violent King Kong was immediately blasted several steps backward, while Su Xing remained standing where he was, completely unharmed.

"How is that possible?"

"He actually took my attack head-on without even using his Martial Soul!"

Violent King Kong stared in disbelief after being forced back.

"So strong! How did he do that?"

"Yeah, he's this powerful without even using his Martial Soul!"

"This guy is definitely a genius!"

"..."

The many spectators in the stands were also shocked by what they had just witnessed.

Only Qin Ming and the others remained unmoved. They knew very well how powerful Su Xing was, especially his physical strength.

"Surely that isn't all you've got? Then your title really doesn't suit you. You should just admit defeat!"

Seeing Violent King Kong's stunned expression, Su Xing mocked him again.

"Damn it!"

"Second Spirit Skill, Gravity Pressure!"

Violent King Kong flew into another rage at Su Xing's words.

His second Spirit Ring actually granted Gravity Pressure, which was quite rare for a second Spirit Skill.

Unfortunately for him, he was facing Su Xing, who remained standing in place without changing expression.

Su Xing's Physical Body Level had reached level 48. His opponent's Gravity Pressure could not put much strain on him.

"Can you stop using such flashy tricks?"

Su Xing mocked him once more.

If not for honing his combat experience, Su Xing would have killed his opponent in seconds long ago.

Su Xing had realized that his actual combat experience was severely lacking. Since he had come to the Spirit Fighting Arena this time, he decided to use it to temper himself.

Otherwise, Su Xing would have had no interest in participating in individual duels at all.

Judging by Soul Power Level alone, no Spirit Master of the same level could possibly be his opponent.

There was no point in participating in completely one-sided battles.

"Shut up!"

Violent King Kong's face flushed red from Su Xing's mockery. After roaring in anger, he attacked Su Xing again.

Su Xing did not use any Spirit Skills and simply fought his opponent directly.

This kind of battle was still somewhat helpful in improving Su Xing's combat experience.

However, after several matches in a row, opponents who were too weak could no longer help Su Xing very much.

So Su Xing quickly changed the opponents he wished to challenge.

He set all his duel opponents as Soul Ancestors above level 40.

Spirit Masters in the Spirit Fighting Arena could not challenge opponents below their own rank, but there were no restrictions on challenging someone of a higher rank.

When Qin Ming learned that Su Xing wanted to challenge opponents above his rank, he initially disagreed because it was too dangerous.

"Yes, Su Xing. A Soul Ancestor-level challenge is something even I wouldn't dare attempt!"

Yu Tianheng also tried to persuade Su Xing.

He knew Su Xing was strong, but he did not think he was weaker than Su Xing. Last time, he had only used two Spirit Skills.

"Yes, Su Xing. A Soul Ancestor-level challenge is too dangerous. You shouldn't do it!" Ye Lingling also tried to persuade Su Xing.

"That's right, it's too dangerous. We know you're very strong and have no opponents among Soul Elders, but challenging someone above your rank is still too much!"

Dugu Yan also urged Su Xing against it.

The Shi Mo and Shimo brothers, as well as Yu Feng, also echoed everyone's opinion.

They all knew Su Xing was powerful, but they had always believed that his limit was roughly equal to Yu Tianheng when Yu Tianheng only used his first and second Spirit Skills.

"How about this? I'll fight the captain once, with both of us going all out!"

Naturally, Su Xing would not compromise. He looked at Qin Ming and spoke.
