One-Shotting a Soul King

Night fell!

The eight appeared on the main training field.

There was no need to guess—they were definitely heading to that Great Soul Arena again.

Yuan Luo had discussed things with that profiteering headmaster for a long time.

In the end, Flender agreed that as long as Yuan Luo defeated a Soul King, he would stop meddling in his affairs.

Yuan Luo laughed on the spot. Flender had really given him a task that no one else could possibly complete.

Unfortunately, Flender had still miscalculated.

As the protagonist, could Yuan Luo not even manage to kill someone above his level?

After all, he was a boy who had killed a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Tonight, Yuan Luo planned to defeat a Soul King. After that, his days would finally be peaceful.

"Little Brother, thank you for bringing me back!"

Ning Rongrong stepped forward, a faint blush rising on her face.

"Ha, it was nothing. I didn't expect you to be able to run for so long."

Yuan Luo was still very curious. What had happened? Could it be that Ning Rongrong no longer had that princess complex?

"Of course! This young lady trains regularly at home too, you know!"

At the mention of this, Ning Rongrong seemed rather proud, lifting her chin at Yuan Luo.

Seeing the disbelief on Yuan Luo's face, Ning Rongrong gave a huff.

"It's all because of you. Your grilled meat is so delicious. Every time I want some, Father makes me run for a while and train for a while before he'll buy it for me."

By the end, Ning Rongrong actually looked a little bashful. She was probably embarrassed that Yuan Luo had found out she was such a foodie.

Yuan Luo seemed to suddenly understand. No wonder that had happened before.

A few times when he went out to sell grilled meat, someone had booked the entire place and bought all of it.

Yuan Luo smacked his lips, and the look in his eyes as he watched Ning Rongrong became one of admiration.

For food, she could do anything.

After half an hour of traveling, they all arrived at the Great Soul Arena.

Dai Mubai explained the rules of the Great Soul Arena to them, giving everyone a rough understanding.

They then went to register for matches.

"Little Brother, let's form a team!"

Ning Rongrong stood before Yuan Luo with a hopeful expression, those watery eyes fixed on him.

"No, no. Team up with Zhu Zhuqing. Xiao San and Xiao Wu will definitely be together, and she's the only girl left."

"Hmph!"

In the end, Ning Rongrong left in a huff.

Yuan Luo arrived at the front desk with a mask already covering his face.

"Hello. Arrange a match against a Soul King for me. Preferably a Rank 51 one."

It was not that Yuan Luo could not defeat someone stronger. This way, however, he could lie low more effectively and reduce the chance of exposing himself.

"Are you sure?"

The receptionist looked doubtful. Yuan Luo sounded very young.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Then may I ask what your Soul Power rank is?"

Startled by his cold rebuke, the receptionist did not say anything more.

"Thirty-six."

"What? You're only a Soul Elder. Why do you want to challenge a Soul King?"

"Why are you asking so many questions? My time is very tight."

Yuan Luo frowned slightly. In a place like this, he could not reveal that he was young. He had to act experienced.

The receptionist had no choice but to follow Yuan Luo's request.

"A Soul King will happen to be coming tonight. Otherwise, you would have to make an appointment."

"A Rank 51 Soul King, Spirit: Hamster, known as the Rat King. What do you think?"

"Mm, that one will do."

After leaving the front desk, Yuan Luo returned to the group.

"Luo-ge, where did you go?"

Xiao Wu was watching Tang San on the stage. Tang San was currently fighting Zhu Zhuqing, and it could be said that he was crushing her one-sidedly.

"I registered. Where else would I go, pick up girls?"

The moment the words left his mouth, everyone's gazes gathered on him.

Especially Oscar and Ma Hongjun's subtle looks.

As well as Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong's scrutinizing stares.

"What are you looking at? Watch the match."

Yuan Luo said irritably.

A long while later.

"Please welcome the Rat King and Luo Shen to the stage."

It was finally time!

"I'm off. Study my battle carefully. Learn even a little, and you'll benefit for life."

Before leaving, Yuan Luo did not forget to show off.

The others all rolled their eyes. With Yuan Luo's strength, would defeating a Soul Elder not be easy?

Unfortunately...

As the two stepped onto the stage, everyone below immediately became fired up.

A Soul King battle was not something one could see whenever they wanted. Some people might never witness a Soul King's battle in their entire lives.

"Rat King!"

"Rat King!"

"Rat King!"

The crowd cheered, their roaring voices echoing throughout the hall.

Yuan Luo, on the other hand, had not a single supporter. Instead, people mocked him.

"Next up is our Soul King, Spirit: Hamster, commonly known as the Rat King, with Rank 51 Soul Power."

"His opponent is Luo Shen, a newcomer and a Rank 36 Soul Elder."

"What?"

"Only a Soul Elder?"

"What's there to watch? Change the contestant already!"

"Exactly! We want a thrilling battle. What's the point of a one-sided beatdown?"

"Change him already! I'm going to file a complaint!"

In the hall, Tang San and the others were also deeply unsettled.

"Why is Luo-ge fighting a Soul King?"

"Luo-ge is actually going to fight a Soul King? I thought it was a Soul Elder!"

"It's over, it's over. Luo-ge is in danger now. Why would Luo-ge do something so reckless?"

"I believe Luo-ge must have his own reasons. Let's watch first."

On the stage!

The Rat King wore a mocking expression as he looked at Yuan Luo disdainfully.

"Little brat, have you even grown hair yet?"

Yuan Luo's slender arms and tender legs made it obvious that he was young. Compared with the Rat King, a man in his fifties, the difference in age was glaring.

"Old man, you're so old that your hair has probably all fallen out already, right?"

Yuan Luo did not care. The more the other party underestimated him, the less of his strength he would have to reveal.

"Hehe, then I'll make sure you don't have a single hair left."

Suddenly, a vast surge of Soul Power erupted, Rank 51 Soul Power flooding the entire arena.

Five Soul Rings—white, yellow, yellow, purple, purple—appeared around the Rat King, while the phantom of a rat covered his body.

Several whiskers appeared on his face, making him look exceedingly wretched.

Yuan Luo's gaze changed, and his entire presence turned sharp and chilling.

The face beneath his mask grew increasingly cold as he fully unleashed his Rank 36 Soul Power.

Three Soul Rings—yellow, purple, purple—appeared.

The crowd could no longer remain calm, and a noisy uproar broke out.

"How... how did he do that?"

"His Second Soul Ring is actually purple!"

"That's impossible!"

"How did he do it?"

"Hmm?"

The Rat King's eyes narrowed. He stood frozen, his face full of disbelief.

All of a sudden, Yuan Luo's Third Soul Ring lit up.

The entire space turned cold. A freezing chill spread outward, piercing to the bone.

The ground began to freeze, and Ice Mist appeared in the air, making it seem as though they had entered a fairyland.

Because there were so many people here, there was more moisture in the air, which actually strengthened Yuan Luo's soul skill.

"Third Soul Skill, Water Prison."

An Ice House instantly formed, trapping the Rat King inside.

"Second Stage!"

Immediately afterward, the Rat King's cries rang out, accompanied by hoarse, agonized roars.

"Aah!"

A few seconds later, the Ice House shattered. Blood flowed across the ground, and the sight turned gruesome.

The Rat King lay unwillingly on the ground, his entire body frozen stiff.

Even his Soul Power had been sealed by the icy cold.

He looked just like a dead dog.

"Luo Shen!"

"Luo Shen!"

"Luo Shen, you're amazing!"

"Luo Shen! I want to have your babies!"

"Luo Shen, I love you!"

Countless people cheered at that moment, completely unlike their previous indifference and contempt.

"Th-this... Luo-ge one-shotted him?"

Ma Hongjun rubbed his eyes, as if he had witnessed something unbelievable.

Oscar swallowed hard. "From now on, Luo-ge is my Luo-ge—he's my brother!"

"Little Brother is so amazing!" Ning Rongrong's eyes sparkled as she looked at Yuan Luo as though he were a priceless piece of jade.
