The moment those words were spoken, the other Inner Courtyard Male Students' expressions turned ugly.
Dai Yueheng was really good at showing off.
Yet among their generation, aside from Ma Xiaotao, he was the strongest. The Evil-Eyed White Tiger's strength was unquestionably formidable.
Chen Zifeng held his sword and said calmly, "I think this junior disciple might win five consecutive battles. He may even kill an Evil Spirit Master. He might be more outstanding than you were back then."
Yao Haoxuan nodded in agreement. "Qian Chaoyun's talent is exceptional, and his strength is beyond doubt. I also think he can make history and wipe away your record."
Dai Yueheng burst into laughter and offered no response.
These guys really were stubborn. Just to keep him from showing off, they were even saying something like that.
If this kid could win consecutively, he would write the king character on the Evil-Eyed White Tiger backward.
A newborn calf feared no tiger; the kid simply did not know how formidable Evil Spirit Masters were.
Yet it was precisely Dai Yueheng's arrogant personality that made the girls dislike him.
Dai Yueheng seemed exceedingly magnanimous on the surface, but in truth, he loved showing off.
He was already a Six-Ringed Soul King, yet he was competing with a Four-Ring junior disciple for glory. What a disgrace to the Inner Court's older students.
Hua Yao casually asked, "Dai Yueheng, can you beat Xiaotao?"
Dai Yueheng's smiling face instantly turned the color of pig liver, and he clenched his fists.
Being unable to defeat Ma Xiaotao was his pain.
When Ma Xiaotao went all out, even a Soul Sage had to avoid her edge. Dai Yueheng knew he could not beat her.
But having it said so bluntly still made him unhappy.
Chen Zifeng and Yao Haoxuan, standing nearby, were delighted.
Served him right for showing off and mocking the two of them.
Now he had kicked an iron plate.
Dai Yueheng withdrew his smile and stopped talking with the Students, turning his gaze toward the Soul Fighting Arena instead.
In the arena, Qian Chaoyun was resting with his eyes closed when his opponent was released.
The man was slender and effeminate. As he walked, he kept admiring his delicate hands while making the hissing sound of a snake's tongue.
Qian Chaoyun focused his eyes and discovered that the other man's tongue was actually like a snake's.
Soon, the Inner Court Teacher presiding over the Soul Fighting Arena spoke. "He is a descendant of human blood and a Jade Scale Snake Emperor Soul Beast. He possesses the Jade Scale Snake Emperor Martial Soul and is a level forty-four Fallen One. He has destroyed an entire village."
"Your task is to defeat or kill him. Either counts as a successful challenge and will be recorded among your cultivation achievements."
Qian Chaoyun drew the Angel Holy Sword, nodded, and said, "Come!"
The moment his words fell, the Jade Scale Snake Emperor Soul Master attacked. A massive snake head rose up, its bright yellow vertical pupils fixed on him as it spat out a mouthful of terrifying venom.
With a wave of his hand, Qian Chaoyun unfurled the Angel Six Wings and used an instantaneous movement to evade the poison.
The venom hit the ground and corroded it instantly.
Qian Chaoyun's expression changed slightly. He finally understood why the Evil Spirit Masters here were so terrifying. Every Evil Spirit Master or Fallen One was powerful.
With that thought, he no longer held back. Raising the Angel Holy Sword high, four soul rings rose beneath him as he recited the Soul Curse: "Evil scum, not worth hearing. Accept judgment."
[ Ding! Evil Spirit Master successfully identified ]
As the system's voice rang out, all mercy vanished from Qian Chaoyun's eyes, leaving only the conviction to kill Evil Spirit Masters.
"You..."
The Jade Scale Snake Emperor Soul Master seemed to be catalyzed by some force. The evil energy within him surged endlessly, Black Qi coiling around his entire body.
There was only one thought in his mind: to tear apart the person he hated.
The next moment, the Jade Scale Snake Emperor Soul Master's Second Soul Ring lit up, spraying Jade Scale Purple Poison toward the sky.
Qian Chaoyun's eyes lit up. He unfolded the Angel Domain, raised the Holy Sword in his hand, and slashed down through the air.
In an instant, a dazzling golden giant sword came down, forcibly annihilating the snake venom.
The next instant, he unleashed Mental Shock.
The Jade Scale Snake Emperor Soul Master's head felt as though it had been pierced by needles, and he let out a pained groan.
However, Qian Chaoyun's Second Soul Ring lit up. The space above the Soul Fighting Arena became daylight, suddenly blazing with Light Power.
His Second Soul Skill was called Angel Illumination. It was an area-of-effect attack Soul Skill whose power against Evil Spirit Masters could double.
"It hurts, it hurts so much..."
The Jade Scale Snake Emperor Soul Master hugged his knees and howled in agony. Staring fiercely at Qian Chaoyun above him, he roared, "Do you think Evil Spirit Masters deserve to die?"
However, Qian Chaoyun's first soul skill lit up. He unleashed Sky Soaring Consecutive Slashes and instantly dived down, moving at an extreme speed.
Clang—!
A brilliant sword light passed through the Jade Scale Snake Emperor Soul Master's body. Blood gushed out, and his body split into two.
Qian Chaoyun pulled his sword from the man's body and replied indifferently, "Isn't that a stupid question? If you don't deserve to die, then am I the one who deserves to die?!"
Whoosh—!
Beyond everyone's sight, a ray of light emerged from the Jade Scale Snake Emperor Soul Master, who had just died, and instantly entered Qian Chaoyun's body.
[ Ding! Congratulations on killing an Evil Spirit Master. You have obtained Soul Power Feedback ]
Qian Chaoyun immediately felt refreshed. He put away the Angel Holy Sword and looked at the Inner Court Teacher. "He's dead. Please arrange the next one. I still need a desperado."
The Inner Court Teacher was dumbfounded.
Dead!
The level forty-four Jade Scale Snake Emperor Fallen One, the one known as the Village Destroyer, had died in the arena just like that.
Was this an illusion?
This man had been considered one of the Soul Fighting Arena's veteran powerhouses. Even Dai Yueheng and the others had suffered at his hands, yet he had fallen to a thirteen-year-old child.
This child's combat power was simply terrifying.
The Inner Court Teacher swallowed hard and directly sent out an Evil Spirit Master from the Holy Spirit Cult.
Qian Chaoyun was overjoyed upon hearing that.
It was actually the Holy Spirit Cult. In that case, he would feel no guilt killing them.
As another Evil Spirit Master entered the arena, Qian Chaoyun resumed the battle, swinging the Holy Sword in his hand.
In the Spectator Area, Dai Yueheng and the others were completely stunned and had yet to Recover.
In fewer than ten exchanges, the Fallen One known as the Village Destroyer had died. He had died so decisively that he could not even withstand the other party's Soul Skills.
Chen Zifeng's expression was solemn as he said, "After Qian Chaoyun enters battle mode, the killing intent around him becomes incredibly heavy. It's killing intent unlike anything I've ever seen, and it does not disturb his mind."
"This killing intent actually makes the Holy Sword in his hand incomparably sharp. Combined with the attributes that restrain Evil Spirit Masters and Fallen Ones, it's hard to imagine..."
"Old Chen, you're not exaggerating, are you? This kid's sword is stronger than yours?"
Yao Haoxuan was somewhat shocked.
Old Chen rarely evaluated others, because sword Martial Souls were all proud and seldom gave their opponents praise.
Yet thirteen-year-old Qian Chaoyun had received such high praise from Chen Zifeng.
Chen Zifeng nodded. "The reason Qian Chaoyun's sword is so sharp is related to his personality. He is the sort who clings to a belief. Evil Spirit Masters deserve to die, and everyone who dies beneath his sword deserves death, so he is not affected by his emotions."
"In this state, let alone a Four-Ring Evil Spirit Master, even a Five-Ringed Soul King would be in trouble, because they would already be on his kill list."
Upon hearing this, Yao Haoxuan silently gave the kid a thumbs-up.
Awesome!
As expected of someone who could say that famous line: 'Evil scum, not worth hearing.'
An Angel Soul Master in this state would not show mercy when killing Evil Spirit Masters. Instead, he would become more excited the more he killed, because he would never doubt himself or act humbly.
But this kid's righteous energy was so strong that he seemed a little evil.
Was that just an illusion?
