At that moment, Zhao Zilong looked at the semi-transparent panel before him and began to feel somewhat mournful for Tang San. Such excellent Innate Full Soul Power had now become Innate Level Eight Soul Power. Although Innate Level Eight Soul Power still counted as genius-level talent, it also limited Tang San's upper potential.
Moreover, with Zhao Zilong possessing the Protagonist Deprivation System, who knew whether he would deprive Tang San of his innate Soul Power again in the future? If he deprived it a few more times... Sigh. Thinking of how a dignified protagonist, a child of fortune, had been unknowingly ruined by him while Tang San himself remained completely unaware, Zhao Zilong could only mourn for him.
As they said, better a fellow cultivator die than oneself. If I don't deprive you of your innate Soul Power, I'll never rise up. Then I'll be destined to be trampled beneath your feet.
At worst, after I inherit your protagonist halo and your God Position, I'll find a way to get you a Second-level God Position as compensation.
Of course, that was merely Zhao Zilong's wishful thinking for now. Even if he deprived Tang San of his Soul Power, it did not mean Tang San definitely would not inherit a God Position in the future, nor did it mean Zhao Zilong definitely could inherit one. Thinking about God Positions now was still far too distant.
At Suotuo Grand Spirit Arena, Zhao Zilong also went up to register. Looking at the young woman at the counter, he tossed down ten Gold Soul Coins and said, "Register me."
"Name, Soul Power..." the woman at the counter said in an exceptionally cool voice.
"Blue Silver Emperor, Level 34 Soul Power," Zhao Zilong answered.
Xiao Wu looked utterly incredulous. "Zilong, you've already reached Level 34?"
"Yep!"
The woman at the counter was also somewhat surprised. Although Zhao Zilong wore a mask, his voice sounded very young. She pointed at the crystal beside them. "Go test your Soul Power."
Zhao Zilong walked over and quickly placed his hand on the crystal. It immediately shone with a dazzling light, confirming that his Soul Power was indeed Level 34.
Seeing Zhao Zilong's Soul Power rise to Level 34, everyone was rather surprised. His cultivation speed was just too fast!
In truth, only Zhao Zilong himself knew that after absorbing the Man Faced Demon Spider, his Soul Power had already been on the verge of breaking through to Level 34. It had taken a full half year to finally complete the breakthrough. His cultivation speed could actually be said to be quite slow.
Soon, Meng Yiran registered as well. Then Zhao Zilong tossed down another ten Gold Soul Coins and said, "Oh, right. She and I also want to form a two-person combination. We'll call ourselves the Blue Snake Combination."
"And me." Ning Rongrong also walked over and said excitedly, "The two of us can be called the Seven Treasures Blue Silver Combination!"
"Sure."
Everyone quickly formed their two-person combinations and also registered the Shrek Battle Team.
Soon, the spirit battles began. Everyone from Shrek had registered, and one after another, they went backstage to watch. Before the massive crystal board, names continuously changed until they finally stopped: Evil Golden Eyed White Tiger VS Blue Silver Emperor.
Seeing those two names, Dai Mubai and Zhao Zilong looked at each other. Strong fighting spirit burned in Dai Mubai's eyes as he looked at Zhao Zilong. Losing to Zhao Zilong half a year ago had left him deeply unwilling to accept it, and he had always wanted a chance to win back his honor.
"Well, isn't this nice? Old Bai, I never expected my first opponent in a spirit battle to be you." Zhao Zilong looked at Dai Mubai with a faintly amused smile. He then took out his Gold Soul Coins and handed them to Meng Yiran. "Yiran, bet all of it on me to win."
"Okay."
Seeing this, Dai Mubai's face turned livid with anger. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Zilong, are you really that certain you can beat me? I only lost last time because I was too careless."
"I'm not underestimating you. I just believe in myself." Zhao Zilong grinned. "No matter what kind of opponent I face, I'll always bet on myself to win."
Dai Mubai's eye twitched slightly as he looked at the others. Oscar, Tang San, and the rest all avoided his gaze, because they, too, planned to bet on Zhao Zilong.
Soon, under Host Doudou's announcement at the Great Soul Arena, "Next is the twelfth one-on-one match of today's Great Soul Arena! The Level 34 Blue Silver Emperor will face the Level 38 Evil Golden Eyed White Tiger. Will both contestants please enter the arena."
After Dai Mubai and Zhao Zilong entered, the audience was somewhat displeased to see that both wore masks. Host Doudou continued, "All right, contestants, please reveal your martial souls. The spirit battle will begin in one minute."
The two quickly revealed their martial souls: Dai Mubai's White Tiger and Zhao Zilong's Blue Silver Grass. When the audience saw the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, a wave of derisive murmurs immediately arose.
Dai Mubai, however, looked solemn. Having been teammates with Zhao Zilong for so long, he knew Zhao Zilong's strength very well. Although his Soul Power was higher than Zhao Zilong's, Dai Mubai still had little confidence.
"The spirit battle begins..."
At the announcement, Dai Mubai did not dare be careless and immediately went all out. "Third Soul Skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation."
In an instant, Dai Mubai's body grew much larger, and the muscles on his body nearly burst through his clothes. White Tiger Vajra Transformation enhanced all of Dai Mubai's attributes by fifty percent, making it a powerful enhancement skill.
A tiger claw slammed toward him. As an assault-type Soul Master, Dai Mubai naturally possessed formidable close-combat ability.
However, Zhao Zilong leaned more toward the agility-attack type. Especially after gaining Lingbo Weibu, he had shifted even further in that direction. With a Lingbo Weibu step, he swiftly dodged aside. Dai Mubai immediately grew annoyed and rushed after him, his twin claws constantly attacking Zhao Zilong.
Zhao Zilong's figure moved swiftly every time. Because of Lingbo Weibu's unique footwork, each movement left behind an afterimage, causing Dai Mubai's attacks to miss again and again.
"Damn it, is running all you know how to do?" Dai Mubai said angrily when he could not hit Zhao Zilong.
Zhao Zilong was not provoked by him. Smiling, he said, "Isn't dodging also a method? Besides, you're using White Tiger Vajra Transformation right now. It's already a Soul Skill that strengthens you. I can wait until you've burned through some Soul Power before making my move."
Damn it! Dai Mubai cursed inwardly, but he accelerated and charged at Zhao Zilong again.
After dodging several times, Zhao Zilong clearly sensed that Dai Mubai had become faster. A long defense was bound to fail eventually. Zhao Zilong understood that no matter how confident he was in his speed, blindly dodging would be embarrassing if he got hit even once.
"Heartbreak Poison: Bamboo Leaf Sword Rain..." His first and second Soul Skills activated, and purple Blue Silver Grass shot out like arrows.
Seeing the dense barrage, Dai Mubai immediately raised his hands in defense. "White Tiger Body Protection Barrier..."
Countless Blue Silver sword-rains struck the barrier and were scattered by Soul Power. However, Zhao Zilong's first and second Soul Skills did not consume much Soul Power. Rather than two Soul Skills, they were more like a single one; the second Soul Skill was entirely auxiliary in nature.
