Squirming Suckers!

The smile on Liu Qiang's face grew even more pronounced and honest when he heard the young man was willing to compete.

"No need to take it so seriously, little brother. I was just kidding around.

"But if you really want to play, just treat it as some fun and relaxation. Don't push yourself too hard."

Lin Ziyi nodded. "Don't worry, I'll know my limits."

As the two spoke, they saw a crowd gathered in a clearing not far away, with cheers and shouts erupting from time to time!

Lin Ziyi walked behind the crowd and saw through the gaps between heads that two strong men were wrestling in the arena.

One man's Martial Soul was a hoe, and the other's was a sickle.

Although the sickle was sharper, the hoe was much longer, so the person using the hoe appeared to be completely dominating the sickle user!

However, constantly swinging the heavier hoe would consume more stamina.

At one point, the person with the sickle Martial Soul spotted an opening when the hoe user was fatigued and launched a counterattack!

The sickle sliced along the hoe's handle towards the opponent's neck, stopping only when the man with the hoe Martial Soul froze in place, afraid to move!

Lin Ziyi, watching from the side, marveled at the sickle user's skill.

"This guy's Soul Power fluctuations are very weak, but his movements just now? He's clearly trained!

"I didn't expect to find such a master in this remote village!"

While Lin Ziyi was secretly surprised, Liu Qiang walked up with a smile and said to the sickle Martial Soul possessor:

"Ma He, your skill is as amazing as ever!

"If nothing unexpected happens, you'll probably be the champion again this time.

"But we have a guest in our village today who is exceptionally skilled! Would you like to spar with him?"

Hearing this, the man named Ma He let out a dismissive snort and looked towards Lin Ziyi, who was standing outside the crowd.

However, his gaze quickly shifted past the young man's shoulders, landing on the two stunning beauties behind him!

A glint of desire appeared in his eyes, and Ma He immediately raised his sickle, pointing it at Lin Ziyi provocatively.

"You're the guest Liu Qiang mentioned? Are those two girls your women?

"Looking at your scrawny frame, can you even handle these two beauties!

"How about this: we have a match. If you can beat me, I'll give you a hundred catties of rice!

"If you lose, one of these women will spend the night with me. What do you say?"

Hearing this, Liu Qiang quickly slapped Ma He on the back.

"Ma He, what nonsense are you spouting? These three are guests! How can you be so rude to them?"

Ma He shot Liu Qiang a cold glare.

"Stop meddling, damn it. The guest hasn't even refused yet, so why are you yapping here?"

After saying that, he ignored Liu Qiang's displeased expression and turned back to Lin Ziyi.

"Kid, are you scared? If you're scared, just admit defeat and let one of your women sleep with me for a night!

"Of course, I'll also give you ten catties of rice for free. How about it!"

Looking at Ma He's confident demeanor, Lin Ziyi sighed inwardly.

So this is what they mean by 'beauty brings disaster'.

Lin Ziyi glanced back at Tushan Lingling and Bloody Mary, then suddenly grinned at Ma He.

"No problem. Since you have such an idea, brother, I'll gladly accompany you to the end!"

With that, Lin Ziyi walked up to Ma He under the watchful eyes of the surrounding villagers.

Ma He pointed at Lin Ziyi. "I'll give you time to summon your Martial Soul, so you can't say I took advantage of you."

Hearing this, Lin Ziyi turned and glanced at Tushan Lingling.

Tushan Lingling immediately understood and secretly cast an Illusion Technique around Lin Ziyi.

Feeling an invisible Soul Power fluctuation around him, Lin Ziyi raised his right hand and released his Martial Soul.

A hammer, black with silver streaks and exuding a simple aura, appeared before everyone. It was the Clear Sky Hammer!

At the same time, his blood-red Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring, under the effect of Tushan Lingling's Illusion Technique, transformed into a pale white Ten Year Spirit Ring!

As the Spirit Ring appeared, the surrounding audience involuntarily gasped!

In their village, few Soul Masters had ever appeared, and currently, there were none!

Even Ma He, their village's top expert, had only reached Level 9 Soul Master.

Now, facing a true Soul Master with a Spirit Ring, he likely had no chance of winning!

Ma He gazed at the white Spirit Ring around the young man, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Although he was somewhat surprised, he wasn't overly fearful.

After all, it was only a one-ring Soul Master, and the most common, a Ten Year Spirit Ring.

He looks like a greenhorn with no combat experience.

With the combat abilities and skills he possesses, he might not necessarily lose!

Thinking this, Ma He suddenly proposed:

"You're a Soul Master, and I'm just a Soul Master, so it's really unfair to me if we fight.

"How about this: neither of us uses Soul Power, and you can't use Soul Skills. We'll just fight using our Martial Souls, what do you say?"

Lin Ziyi didn't refuse Ma He's proposal, shrugging indifferently: "No problem."

In his opinion, even without using Soul Power, his Soul Power Level being a whole major rank higher than his opponent's would passively boost all his attributes!

Plus, he had sparred with Tushan Lingling for a while during his free time these past two days.

Although Tushan Lingling only defended, Lin Ziyi still gained a lot of combat experience from training with her.

If he were to lose a match against someone who hadn't even reached the Soul Master level, he would truly be letting down all his hard work during this period.

Although his Soul Power Level increased even without him intentionally cultivating it, his practical combat ability still required him to hone it himself.

Now that he had a not-too-weak opponent, Lin Ziyi naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity to improve himself!

Seeing that the young man had agreed to his request again, Ma He's confidence grew even stronger. He immediately swung the scythe Martial Soul in his hand and slashed vertically towards Lin Ziyi!

Just as Lin Ziyi was preparing to raise the Myriad Heavens Auction Hammer, which had the appearance of the Clear Sky Hammer, to block horizontally.

A cunning glint flashed in Ma He's eyes. While Lin Ziyi's attention was focused on his scythe, he violently kicked towards Lin Ziyi's groin with his right foot!

Such a vicious move made Tushan Lingling, who was watching from the side, involuntarily clench her small fists.

However, with the Head Spirit Bone, Lin Ziyi's mental strength greatly increased, and his perception and reaction abilities were also much stronger than before!

The moment he caught sight of Ma He's knee-raising movement in his peripheral vision, Lin Ziyi also kicked out, striking Ma He's calf first and repelling him!

At the same time, the scythe Ma He brought down was steadily blocked by the Myriad Heavens Auction Hammer in Lin Ziyi's hand!

Failing to land a blow, Ma He was inwardly startled. This kid looked frail, but he wasn't without skill!

He immediately used his scythe to hook Lin Ziyi's hammer handle, attempting to snatch the Martial Soul from Lin Ziyi's grasp!

However, what Ma He didn't expect was that under the Illusion Technique, which he couldn't see through.

The countless suction cups on the handle of the Myriad Heavens Auction Hammer actually began to writhe!
