"Hello, everyone! Welcome to today's Soul Fight competition. I'm sure you're all eager to witness this spectacular showdown! Without further ado, let me introduce the two teams participating in this Soul Fight."

The host stood at the center of the stage, microphone in hand, a smile on his face. His voice, amplified throughout the Great Soul Arena, captured everyone's attention.

"First, we have our old friends – the Seven Beasts Team!" As soon as the host finished speaking, seven figures darted onto the stage like lightning. They stood in a neat line, each radiating a powerful aura that left the audience in awe.

Immediately after, all seven activated their Martial Souls. In an instant, light erupted, and various wondrous Martial Souls were revealed to the crowd. Cheers erupted from the audience, a thunderous roar that vibrated the metal floor of the Great Soul Arena, as if the immense sound waves might overturn it.

"Wow! The Seven Beasts Team truly lives up to their name! Just looking at them, they're already so powerful!"

"Yeah, look at their Martial Souls, they're all beast-type. This match is definitely going to be exciting!"

"Tell me about it, I've been watching them for a long time, and they rarely disappoint!"

The audience buzzed with excitement, full of anticipation for the Seven Beasts Team.

"Alright, the next team we're introducing is a bit special." The host paused, building suspense, before continuing, "This is because this team has only one member. He is the rising star of the Soul Arena – Lang Lei!"

As the host introduced him, a young figure slowly walked into the Great Soul Arena. His steps were small, yet steady and powerful. However, compared to the grand entrance of the Seven Beasts Team, Lang Lei's appearance clearly didn't garner much attention. A wave of laughter, mixed with some taunts, immediately swept through the audience.

"Haha, just him? And he dares to participate in a Soul Fight?"

"Isn't he just here to be a pushover?"

"Look at him, maybe his parents didn't watch him, and he snuck up here?"

Despite the audience's mockery, Lang Lei seemed unfazed, his gaze fixed forward as if he were the only person in the world. As he moved, a dazzling Genesis Radiance swirled around him like a meteor, enveloping him completely.

Suddenly, two purple Thousand-Year Spirit Rings slowly rose from beneath Lang Lei's feet. The powerful aura they emitted made even the low-level Soul Master spectators in the Great Soul Arena tremble. The audience, who had been laughing moments before, suddenly fell silent, as if their throats had been constricted. The laughter ceased abruptly, replaced by astonishment and silence, as if no one could believe their eyes.

Such a young face, such a small child, and he's already a Soul Grand Master? And his first two Spirit Rings are Thousand-Year ones?

Keep in mind, the Seven Beasts Team on the other side, though a team of Soul Elders, didn't have a single Thousand-Year Spirit Ring! Now, the two Thousand-Year Spirit Rings floating around Lang Lei seemed like a silent mockery to the audience and the Seven Beasts Team.

"Alright, now everyone knows how extraordinary this young Lang Lei is. I hereby declare that this Soul Fight officially... begins!"

As the referee gave the signal, three yellow Spirit Rings simultaneously flared. The muscles of the Bear Martial Soul bulged like steel, the wings of the Eagle Martial Soul stirred up hurricane-like gusts that tore through the air, and the long saber of the Weapon Martial Soul slashed straight down, its blade wind carving deep trenches in the ground, locking onto all of Lang Lei's escape routes in the first instant.

"Break for me!" The Bear Martial Soul Soul Elder roared, activating his second Spirit Skill, "Bear Tremor." The moment his fists slammed into the ground, several earth-yellow shockwaves spread out in a fan shape, sending debris flying wherever they passed. Simultaneously, the Eagle Martial Soul Soul Elder soared into the air, his talons wrapped in wind blades as he dived, while the Saber Soul Elder spun and unleashed a crescent-shaped Soul Power wave. Three attacks sealed off all of Lang Lei's retreat paths from different directions.

However, a faint purple light ignited in Lang Lei's eyes as the Genesis Radiance Martial Soul erupted!

"First Spirit Skill: Breath of Destruction!" He flicked his wrist, and the Breath of Destruction in his palm instantly transformed into seven sharp light blades. Two crossed to block the Saber Soul Elder's crescent wave, three diagonally sliced through the Eagle Martial Soul's wind blades, and the remaining two shot like arrows towards the Bear Martial Soul's shockwaves. In the ensuing collision, the sound of Soul Power exploding was so intense it made one's eardrums ache. The light blades had forcefully torn through the three attacks, and with undiminished momentum, they wrapped around the seven opponents' ankles!

"Not good!" Just as the Soul Elders tried to retreat, Lang Lei's second Spirit Skill summoned lightning!

"Thunder of Destruction!" He raised his hand and pointed to the sky. The purple radiance shot straight up, and from the dark clouds, seven lightning bolts as thick as barrels, colored purple and gold, struck precisely onto the Spirit Rings entangled by the light blades. The lightning coursed through the Spirit Rings and into their bodies. Their Soul Power meridians were instantly torn apart. The Eagle Martial Soul Soul Elder screamed as he plummeted from the sky, the Saber Soul Elder's weapon flew out of his hand, and the Bear Martial Soul Soul Elder knelt with a crash, his heavy armor cracking like a spiderweb.

Lang Lei didn't stop. He manipulated the Breath of Destruction, pulling it back sharply. The seven opponents were dragged to the center of the arena by the Breath of Destruction, their Soul Power completely in disarray. A flash of radiance appeared in his palm, and the Breath of Destruction transformed into light chains, tightly binding the seven. He then raised his hand and brought it down. A small lightning bolt struck the ground, causing all seven to spit blood simultaneously, their Spirit Rings' light completely dimmed.

When Lang Lei retracted the Genesis Radiance, the only sounds on the stage were the heavy thuds of the seven opponents collapsing on the ground. The cheers from the audience paused for a moment before erupting into even more frenzied shouts. He looked down at the defeated opponents scattered on the ground. The two purple Spirit Rings beneath his feet slowly faded away, the tips of his fingers still holding the residual warmth of the lightning, as if the thrilling battle just moments ago was nothing more than a casual flick of dust.

Only after Lang Lei left did the surroundings fall silent, followed by another round of discussion. With their knowledge, they had never witnessed such a genius!

But none of this mattered to Lang Lei.

He had bet on himself to win before the match, and now it was time to collect.

Although he wasn't short on money, as the saying goes, no one ever has too much money. Moreover, money earned by oneself felt much better to spend. Otherwise, it always felt like he was being kept by the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress...

Though, he was so young, perhaps it couldn't be called being kept, right?

"According to the odds, you should give me twenty million Gold Soul Coins, right?"

At the Gold Soul Coin exchange counter, Lang Lei held up a slip of paper and shook it at the staff member.

The staff member's cold sweat was now streaming down his face. Before the match, it was he who had registered Lang Lei. At that time, he had secretly mocked Lang Lei for being too confident, as if he were just giving them money. Now that he had actually come to collect, he panicked
