Eleven Consecutive Wins?

"Wow, Old Fire has already unleashed his third spirit skill, while Ximen Chuiniu has no choice but to run."

Unable to suppress his excitement any longer, the host rode his flying board around the arena, savoring the moment. "Luckily, Ximen Chuiniu's movement technique is faster. Even three puppet clones couldn't catch him. What a strange skill!"

"Damn it, will you die if you don't keep yapping?"

"So annoying."

"If the Great Soul Arena weren't protecting you, I could slap you flying several times a day!"

"Crow, can you shut your mouth?"

"Bu Yao Bi Lian..."

The moment the tuxedoed host spoke, he once again stirred up the resentment of the entire audience.

Obviously, eighty or ninety percent of the spectators present did not want to see Wang Xiao win, and they disliked the host's mouth even more.

"Dear audience, then who will be the final winner of this One-on-one Spirit Dueling Competition—Old Fire or Ximen Chuiniu? Actually, I don't know either. Let's wait and see together!"

"Damn it, after all that talk, is that the only line you know?"

"Scumbag..."

The audience grew dissatisfied again.

The host finally shut up and watched from the side.

Wang Xiao's Lingbo Weibu was fast, and the three puppets could not catch him. He tossed Old Fire a flirtatious glance and left him to figure it out himself.

Old Fire was truly furious. Seeing that his three puppet clones could do nothing to Wang Xiao, he thought, I can only use a stronger skill. "Fourth Spirit Skill: Thirteen Digs!"

At once, the three puppet clones became thirteen. They moved faster and struck harder, swiftly forming an encirclement. No matter how fast Wang Xiao ran, where could he possibly go?

"Kid, thirteen puppet clones, twenty-six hands. If you've got the ability, fly into the sky. You won't be able to run on the ground anyway."

"Then I'll fly into the sky. Who's afraid of who?" Wang Xiao replied without the slightest courtesy. "First Spirit Skill: Hundred Treasures Great Change!"

The Hundred Treasures Glazed Pagoda suddenly planted itself on the ground and began to grow larger and larger, only stopping once it reached a height of ten zhang.

Lili sat atop the pagoda's peak and rose effortlessly into the air. She waved at the audience below. "Hello, can you all still see me?"

"This..."

Everyone was stunned.

None of them had expected his Hundred Treasures Glazed Pagoda to be able to fly.

Only now did the spectators realize they had underestimated this support Spirit Master. He had not come unprepared.

For a moment, they were rendered speechless, unsure of how to evaluate him.

He looked harmless, innocent, cute, and even a little handsome on the outside, but in truth, he was a piece of "black-hearted cotton."

"Do you think we've been fooled by this kid?"

"What do you mean?"

"Normally, support Spirit Masters cannot use their own martial souls for self-defense. They can only heal or enhance attributes. But his Hundred Treasures Glazed Pagoda clearly has offensive properties. Otherwise, how could it grow larger and smaller?"

"Mm-hmm, I noticed it long ago. This kid looked completely fearless the moment he stepped onto the stage. He clearly wouldn't fight a battle without preparation."

"Now that you mention it, I've noticed something off about him too. Ximen Chuiniu is already Level Fifty-Two. He couldn't possibly make such a low-level mistake as foolishly challenging a Combat Type Spirit Master by himself. The fact that he has survived until now is already a miracle!"

"That makes sense."

"If you ask me, the only explanation is that his martial soul isn't a true support-type Martial Soul, but a Pseudo-Support Martial Soul!"

"Pseudo-Support?"

"Mm-hmm. A Pseudo-Support Martial Soul means that, on the surface, Ximen Chuiniu's Hundred Treasures Glazed Pagoda looks just like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, a support-type Martial Soul."

"But in reality, it isn't. It's a Pseudo-Support Martial Soul. So I think we've all been tricked by Ximen Chuiniu. His Hundred Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul might actually be an Assault Type Martial Soul."

"Damn it..."

As soon as those words were spoken, more than half the audience members who had bet on Old Fire—especially those who had wagered heavily—secretly groaned in misery, their faces going pale.

Wang Xiao had risen so high that Old Fire's thirteen puppet clones could not climb up to him. Old Fire ground his teeth until they creaked, truly experiencing the agony of having strength but nowhere to use it, of wanting to hit his opponent but being unable to reach him.

"Fine, Ximen Chuiniu. You've got guts!"

Old Fire was already beside himself with rage. He had no choice but to unleash his final spirit skill, his last trump card. "Fifth Spirit Skill: Puppet Giant Dig!"

Wang Xiao simply sat on the tip of the enlarged Hundred Treasures Glazed Pagoda, silently watching Old Fire perform.

The thirteen puppet clones instantly merged into a Puppet Giant, roughly ten zhang tall and enormous beyond compare. When it stood up, it was even a head taller than Wang Xiao's enlarged Hundred Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

It immediately flashed behind the Hundred Treasures Glazed Pagoda, back-to-back with Wang Xiao. Both hands went to work, launching one continuous digging attack after another at his rear...

Sigh~

"Old Fire, is this really okay?" Wang Xiao complained weakly.

Old Fire gave a sinister smile. "Whether it's okay or not doesn't matter. All I know is that I crushed my opponents six times in a row to achieve six consecutive wins. That's the truth, and you'll be included among them."

"Quit spouting that useless nonsense. If you can't win, surrender. If you refuse to accept it, I'll beat you until you do."

"Anyway, in this Spirit Dueling Arena, no matter what method you use, winning is what matters. Nobody cares how you win! If you don't accept it, there's nothing you can do. Who told you to be so weak and powerless?"

"Mm, that makes sense!" Wang Xiao smiled faintly, finding himself rather fond of Old Fire.

Though his spirit skills were far too obscene!

Still, what he said was true, especially that line: winning was what mattered. Who would care how you won?

"That's so damn true!"

Wang Xiao pointed at Old Fire. "Fine, Old Fire. Just for that, I, Ximen Chuiniu, will leave you an intact corpse today!"

"Will you die if you don't brag?" Old Fire looked disdainful.

"Second Spirit Skill: Mount Tai Crushes Down!" Wang Xiao finally made his move, using the Hundred Treasures Glazed Pagoda's second spirit skill.

The Hundred Treasures Glazed Pagoda immediately rose into the air. Blue light bloomed from its body, producing an immense pressure that made the entire arena tremble. It flew directly above the Puppet Giant's head.

"Down, down, down!" Wang Xiao controlled the ten-zhang-tall Hundred Treasures Glazed Pagoda with his hand, pressing it down onto the Puppet Giant's head again and again.

Before long, the Puppet Giant could no longer withstand the ten-thousand-jin weight of the Hundred Treasures Glazed Pagoda. Its massive body sank lower and lower.

Old Fire was no better off. Hot sweat poured from his head, and his body trembled.

This was because a martial soul and its master were connected. Once the martial soul was injured, its master would suffer injuries as well.

Therefore, none of the spectators below found Old Fire's condition strange.

"Beating you doesn't even take any effort!" Wang Xiao looked at Old Fire. Seeing that more than half of the Puppet Giant's body had already bent down, he knew it was about time. "Old Fire, it's not too late to surrender now."

"Otherwise, in a moment, it won't be as simple as getting down on all fours. You'll be pinned to the floor and rubbed back and forth."

"I refuse to accept this!" Old Fire would not admit defeat.

He had thought Wang Xiao only possessed a support-type Hundred Treasures Glazed Pagoda martial soul and believed defeating him would be effortless.

Only now did he realize that Wang Xiao had tricked him, and tricked him terribly—so terribly it could not have been worse.

Not only had he been slapped hard across the face, he had also celebrated for nothing. How could he possibly swallow this humiliation?

Even knowing he was certain to lose, he still refused to surrender.

"Damn it, damn it! I never thought it, never thought it—Old Fire actually lost! Lost, lost!"

"It's over, it's over, it's over! My one thousand Gold Spirit Coins!"

"One thousand is nothing. I bet eight thousand!"

"Eight thousand? I bet thirty thousand! Who am I supposed to reason with now?"

"It's all that jinx-mouthed host's fault."

"Shameless Ximen Chuiniu, Bu Yao Bi Lian! You actually tricked us?"

"Despicable, absolutely despicable!"

"Forget it. If you often walk by the river, how can your shoes stay dry? I bet fifty thousand on Old Fire too. A bet is a bet, and I accept my loss. I blame no one but ourselves for being blind and failing to see the truth. We deserved to lose."

"I like that! Ximen Chuiniu has taught us a lesson too. We can't judge everything by appearances. We must look from the heart if we want to remain undefeated."

"Although I didn't bet a single coin, I've summed it up: nothing is absolute. It's best to test the waters first and not rush to conclusions, or you'll end up like them."

"That's true. And this Ximen Chuiniu is pretty impressive. I like him too. Since he managed to turn things around, let's just treat it as a show. It was truly exciting."

"Mm-hmm..."

The spectators discussed animatedly, with mixed opinions about Wang Xiao concealing his strength.

That was understandable. No one who lost money could possibly be happy.

"Down!" Wang Xiao roared one final time, bringing his large hand straight down.

Bang~

The Hundred Treasures Glazed Pagoda slammed down completely, crushing the Puppet Giant into nothingness and even cracking the floor.

It was clear just how immense the pressure had been.

"Cough, cough, cough~"

Old Fire immediately spat out several mouthfuls of blood. He fell flat on his back, staring at the ceiling, unable to move anymore. "Heavens, am I really done for?"

Then two burly men ran out from backstage, lifted Old Fire by his arms and legs, and carried him away.

"Tch."

Seeing Old Fire carried off and Wang Xiao victorious, the audience below lost their spirit.

"Ximen Chuiniu! Ximen Chuiniu! Certain victory..."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah~"

Soon, the spectators in the stands became enthusiastic about Wang Xiao again, shouting his stage name...

The next day...

The third day...

The third day...

The fourth day...

The tenth day...

Wang Xiao came to the Great Soul Arena almost every day to participate in Soul Fighting Competitions.

He fought ten consecutive matches and won all ten.

Wang Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had completed the Sign-in System's Sign-in Task at the Spirit City Great Spirit Arena.

Then he teamed up with other Spirit Masters for two-on-two battles in the Spirit Dueling Arena, scraping together one hundred points to level up.

At the same time, he gained some fame in the Great Soul Arena.

He successfully accumulated more than one hundred points, obtained a Bronze Spirit Master Badge, and won one hundred Gold Soul Coins.

After leaving the arena, Wang Xiao went to the front desk to collect his new badge and one hundred Gold Soul Coins, then strolled gracefully toward the entrance.

Behind him, the two beautiful female receptionists wore looks of envy.

"Lili, that Ximen Chuiniu is so handsome!"

"Not only is he handsome, he's incredibly strong! As a newcomer, being able to achieve eleven consecutive wins in one go is already extraordinary."

"Mm, in only ten days, he accumulated more than one hundred points from zero. He went from an Iron Spirit Master Badge to a Bronze Spirit Master Badge. He definitely isn't an ordinary young man."

"Maybe he's a genius."

"I think he's a genius too. Otherwise, why would he wear a mask while competing..."

"Hehe, he's out!"

"Mm. In a moment, you do this... then that... understand?"

"Got it, Boss. Don't worry yourself sick. It's not like this is our first time doing this."

"Exactly!"

"Good. He dares compete with me for Nana? Kid, I'll make sure you never return, hmph."
