Golden Scaled Arm Ape Martial Soul

"Yi Xian! Yi Xian! Yi Xian!"

"Butcher! Butcher! Butcher!"

Before the host had even finished speaking, thunderous cries erupted from all around the stands, filled with excitement and fervor.

Qian Renxue, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, Ning Rongrong, and Lin Tianyi's parents immediately perked up, sitting upright as they stared intently at the dark passage below.

Amid the endless calls, a short figure slowly appeared from the dark passage on the eastern side.

Passing through the passage, the short figure emerged fully.

The atmosphere in the arena abruptly rose to another level. The spectators supporting Yi Xian and those who had bet on his victory shouted with impassioned fervor.

Wearing a scarlet mask, Lin Tianyi walked step by step onto the hard white square arena, his face expressionless.

Though short in stature, as he stood straight, he resembled a sharp sword piercing the heavens. His presence was far more imposing than that of a two-meter-tall man, making others afraid to look directly at him!

"What an utterly sharp Yi Xian! He gives me the feeling that an unparalleled divine sword is about to be forged. Even before it is born, it has already revealed a sharpness that no one dares face!"

"He is about to comprehend his own Sword Dao!"

Inside the VIP room, Sword Douluo Chen Xin stared intensely at the straight-backed Lin Tianyi, his tone excited and exhilarated.

Ning Fengzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of his lips lifted.

"It seems this Yi Xian is even more outstanding than we imagined."

Listening to Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong gazed at the small, proud figure standing on the arena, a trace of confusion appearing in her clear, large eyes.

How strange. Why does he feel familiar? I feel like I've seen that back somewhere before.

In another VIP room, Qian Renxue abruptly rose from her soft seat, her eyes widening as she cried out.

"Tianyi!!"

Snake Lance Douluo and Porpoise Douluo froze for a moment, their faces filled with confusion.

"Miss, could you have mistaken him? Isn't Lin Tianyi still not a Soul Grandmaster?"

Qian Renxue answered with absolute certainty.

"There's no mistake. I might mistake anyone else, but I would never mistake Tianyi! You cannot imagine how familiar I am with him.

"Tianyi obtained his second Soul Ring long ago. He simply never revealed it, so it is normal that you did not know."

Snake Lance Douluo and Porpoise Douluo's eyes widened sharply, their faces full of shock and disbelief.

"N-No way. He's only six years old, yet he has already broken through to Level 20? This... this is far too monstrous!"

Even as Title Douluo, they had only obtained their First Soul Ring when they were six, having just broken through to around Level 11 or 12!

Qian Renxue's lips slowly curled into a proud, delighted smile, as if the boy on the arena tugged at her heart every moment.

"You are not allowed to reveal a single word of any information concerning Tianyi to that woman. Do you understand?"

As if recalling something, Qian Renxue turned and fixed Snake Lance Douluo and Porpoise Douluo with a cold, imposing gaze.

Snake Lance Douluo and Porpoise Douluo immediately nodded in acknowledgment.

With a satisfied nod, Qian Renxue turned and walked to the floor-to-ceiling one-way glass window. Her eyes were gentle and doting as she looked at Lin Tianyi below, standing straight as a sword.

"Tianyi, you are becoming more and more outstanding. Once you grow up, I wonder how many girls you will captivate?"

As she spoke, she suddenly froze. For some reason, the thought of Lin Tianyi standing beside other women in the future made her feel particularly uncomfortable.

The light in her eyes shifted slightly, and the way she looked at Lin Tianyi on the arena changed.

Qian Renxue suddenly felt an urge to bind Lin Tianyi with a chain and keep him by her side forever.

The instant that thought appeared, it was like a demon breaking free of its seal, wildly occupying Qian Renxue's mind. It grew stronger and stronger, impossible to control...

"No! Tianyi is free. I will not allow anyone to restrain him! Not even myself!!"

Qian Renxue jolted awake and took two steps back.

"Miss, what is wrong?" Snake Lance Douluo and Porpoise Douluo hurried forward in concern.

"I'm fine. Snake Lance, go watch by the edge of the arena. Do not let anything happen to Tianyi," Qian Renxue said, shaking her head lightly.

Seeing that Qian Renxue truly was fine, Snake Lance Douluo accepted the order and left the VIP room.

Looking through the window at Lin Tianyi on the arena below, Qian Renxue's gaze was unfathomable.

Even she did not realize that from this moment on, a seed had been planted deep within her heart. As time passed, it would slowly take root and sprout, growing into a towering tree.

By then, Qian Renxue's overwhelming possessiveness toward Lin Tianyi would no longer be something she could forcibly suppress.

Standing on the arena, Lin Tianyi's black, bright eyes beneath the Red Dragon mask watched the tall, burly, scar-faced man, who stood a full two meters and thirty centimeters tall, slowly walk onto the arena.

When the mountain-like scar-faced man stopped before Lin Tianyi, his shadow completely covered him. He looked down coldly at the short Lin Tianyi below.

Before the battle had even begun, the atmosphere suddenly became tense and oppressive. The two were like active volcanoes that could erupt at any moment!

"Yi Xian! Yi Xian! Yi Xian!"

"Butcher! Butcher! Butcher!"

The surrounding spectators screamed themselves hoarse, cheering for the contestants they favored and had bet on!

Feeling the audience's enthusiasm, the overly made-up host flapped his wings and hovered in the air, his voice rising passionately.

"Ladies and gentlemen, these two are the most renowned competitors in the Soul Fighting Arena lately.

"One is Yi Xian, who, as a Level 24 Soul Grandmaster, fought fifty-four Soul Elders in succession within a month and won every battle!

"The other is Butcher, who dominates the Soul Elder rank with peak Level 39 Soul Power and bears the title of Undefeated!

"Both are experts who have never suffered defeat since their debut. Tonight, will Yi Xian remain undefeated, or will Butcher preserve his undefeated title...

"Let us wait and see!"

The host's tone suddenly rose, nearly cracking.

"Now, I announce that the match... begins!!!"

The moment his voice fell, Lin Tianyi and Butcher vanished from where they stood. One small and one large, two black streaks of light collided violently.

Clang!!

A crisp metallic clash exploded.

Lin Tianyi felt a terrifying force travel through the trembling Dragon's Roar Sword into his arms and body. His arms went numb, and his whole body shuddered.

He had actually been forced back half a step.

Staring at his opponent, he discovered that Butcher's body had expanded considerably. He now stood over two meters sixty tall, covered in jet-black fur, with blood-red eyes and four pale, sharp fangs exposed from his mouth.

Butcher's arms were covered in scales resembling golden steel, granting him a terrifying defense impervious to blades and spears.

A flash of surprise crossed Lin Tianyi's eyes.

It was actually the rare Golden Scaled Arm Ape Martial Soul!

While Lin Tianyi was surprised, Butcher's extensive combat experience immediately made him react on instinct. His golden right arm swept fiercely toward Lin Tianyi's neck like a battle-axe.

After dozens of battles, coupled with his exceptional learning ability, Lin Tianyi's combat experience was equally formidable. Without a second thought, he tilted his head back and easily dodged the sweeping golden right arm as it brushed past his eyes.

At the same time, his right leg shot upward like a fierce dragon ascending to the heavens. The sole of his foot slammed into Butcher's jaw, kicking him into the air as his two rows of teeth crashed together with a sharp crack.

Then, seizing the instant Butcher was dazed by pain, Lin Tianyi gripped the hilt with his right hand and was just about to slash out. Yet for some reason, he changed his strategy, using the toes of his left foot as a pivot as he spun and twisted his waist into a flying kick.

His right leg, still unretracted in midair, lashed out once more like a steel whip, smashing fiercely into Butcher's lower left abdomen as he rose into the air...
