Fire Sword Lin Yi, the Trembling Seven Kill Sword

Xiao Wu eagerly put the silver mask on her face.

"Little Qi, as your master..."

Xiao Wu also chose to transform into Master Meng, but the moment she spoke, she received another blow to the same spot on her forehead.

"Ow~"

"This is so unfair. You can tease me, but I can't even make a little joke?"

"Fair? You're merely a commoner, and you dare speak of fairness to His Majesty?"

Xiao Wu: ...

Fine, she was just an ordinary Hundred Thousand Years humanoid-transformed Soul Beast.

Meanwhile, Lin Qi was the inheritor of the Ancient Beast God, the future Beast God, the sovereign of all Soul Beasts, the master of the Great Li Seven Guards, and the emperor of the Great Li Empire.

Before all those titles, she was nothing but a weak and pitiful rabbit.

Holding what appeared to be an ordinary Iron Soul Dueling Token, Lin Qi moved through the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena without obstruction.

Moreover, the Soul Fighting Arena quickly arranged a match according to his wishes.

There was no need to register, much less pay a registration fee.

"Um, do I have to fight too?"

Xiao Wu felt somewhat nervous.

"For solo Soul Fights, it's up to you whether you participate. For doubles Soul Fights, you must fight alongside me."

"Understood."

Xiao Wu let out a breath of relief.

As long as she was not forced to participate in lots of solo Soul Fights, it was fine.

As for doubles Soul Fights, with Lin Qi around, Xiao Wu was not worried about losing at all.

Not long after they sat down in the waiting room, a maid approached and respectfully said:

"You're up next. Of course, if you're unwilling, you may cancel at any time."

She was clearly not a core member of the Seven Guards and did not know that Lin Qi was His Majesty.

The order she had received was to fulfill all of Lin Qi's requests.

From that order alone, the maid knew Lin Qi was definitely an important figure.

"Understood."

Lin Qi slowly rose to his feet.

Inside the Soul Fighting Arena, Porcupinefish Douluo wandered around for quite some time without finding Lin Qi or Xiao Wu.

"Where did they go?"

By the time Porcupinefish Douluo entered the Soul Fighting Arena, Lin Qi and Xiao Wu had already left with Ge Ming.

After searching for a while, Porcupinefish Douluo prepared to leave.

Compared with searching for two unrelated children, his most important task was protecting Qian Renxue.

As for Qian Renxue's order, he believed that since the two children had headed straight for the Soul Fighting Arena, their family must be here. The task could be considered complete.

Just as he was about to leave, the passionate voice of a host came from one of the Soul Fighting Arenas.

"Next is Arena 16's most anticipated Soul Fight!"

"One side is Zhang Li, a Soul Elder with a Bronze Soul Dueling Badge and the Mad Wolf Beast Martial Soul!"

"The other side is an absolute genius among Soul Masters, one who will crush all opponents, possesses extraordinary combat talent, and is destined to become the leader of Soul Masters..."

The host rattled off a long string of exaggerated descriptions, nearly running out of breath in one go.

"Lin Yi, wielder of the Fire Sword Weapon Martial Soul!"

The spectators in the viewing area screamed. Anyone described in such a manner had to be an incomparably powerful Soul Master at the Soul Elder realm.

That excitement turned into confusion when a voice rang out.

"Does anyone know who this Lin Yi is?"

"Uh... no idea. But I know Zhang Li. He's already won three matches in a row. His Soul Power seems to be level thirty-seven, and he's very strong."

"I haven't heard of Lin Yi either. Could he be a rookie Soul Master?"

"No way, right?"

One person told another, then another, and soon the doubt spread through the entire audience.

In the end, everyone discovered that not a single person had heard of Lin Yi.

"This Lin Yi is probably really a rookie."

"Does the Soul Fighting Arena have a grudge against Lin Yi? Using so many exaggerated words to describe him is practically inviting hatred for him."

Some of the spectators were Zhang Li's supporters, and they immediately began shouting.

"Zhang Li, teach that guy named Lin Yi a lesson!"

"He's way too arrogant! Damn it, I thought a Titled Douluo was about to appear!"

Even Porcupinefish Douluo outside stopped in his tracks because of it.

"Exaggerated!"

Porcupinefish Douluo thought to himself that even the Young Master had never received such exaggerated praise. What gave this Lin Yi the right?

His intention to immediately leave the Soul Fighting Arena vanished. Porcupinefish Douluo turned and headed toward the viewing area.

He wanted to see just what kind of person this Lin Yi was.

Lin Qi was speechless.

Lin Yi was merely an alternate identity he had created.

The so-called Fire Sword Martial Soul was simply his fire attribute from the five elements of Chest Sword Qi infused into the Mountain River Sword, making it resemble a pure fire attribute Sword Martial Soul.

The host's exaggerated wording nearly made Lin Qi dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes.

The fellow had been just short of saying that the person about to appear was their great emperor.

Lin Qi shook his head and cast those pointless emotions aside.

His first opponent was a Soul Elder one major realm above him.

Being only one major realm higher still did not put much pressure on Lin Qi.

But it was still a battle. Lin Qi had not developed the "good habit" of underestimating enemies and acting carelessly.

"You may enter now."

Once the introduction was complete, the maid reminded him.

Lin Qi nodded slightly and slowly walked toward the Soul Fighting Arena.

"So this brat is Lin Yi? Aside from looking a little smug and a little handsome, there's nothing special about him. Was he really worth such exaggerated praise?"

The alternate identity Lin Yi entered with the face of a young Yanzu.

Yanzu Lin Yi wore a cold expression as he looked at the person opposite him.

Lin Qi's opponent was a burly man with wild-looking long black hair.

"You paid off that host, didn't you? Your plan worked well. Today's audience will definitely remember your name."

"Of course, that's assuming you can defeat me. Otherwise, after today, you'll become Heaven Dou City's biggest joke."

There was some dissatisfaction in Zhang Li's gaze as he looked at Lin Qi.

After all, the host had introduced him in just a few words.

Yet when introducing Lin Yi, the host had gone on for a full three minutes and still seemed unsatisfied.

Lin Qi remained indifferent and merely glanced at the host.

The host immediately shuddered.

"Begin!"

Inside a private box in the viewing area, two men under twenty looked down at the Soul Fighting Arena below.

"Chen Feng, this Lin Yi's Martial Soul is also a Sword Martial Soul. Didn't you want to defeat every Soul Master with a Sword Martial Soul? This person might become your opponent."

Chen Feng's indifferent face remained expressionless.

"You think his so-called Fire Sword Martial Soul can contend with my Seven Kill Sword?"

The person across from Chen Feng smiled.

"You're going too far. Who doesn't know that Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul is the number one Sword Martial Soul in the world? Even those sword players from the Wind Sword Sect have to admit it."

"If you want to find a Sword Soul Master who can contend with the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul, I'm afraid you'll never find one in your lifetime."

Chen Feng fell silent for a moment.

"What a pity. If only everyone's Martial Soul were a Sword Martial Soul..."

Before he could finish, his expression suddenly changed.

The moment the battle began in the Soul Fighting Arena, Zhang Li activated Martial Soul Possession. Long wolf claws extended from all ten fingers as he pounced at Lin Qi.

No matter how exaggerated the introduction was, it would not help him win in the slightest.

Zhang Li intended to use a crushing victory to prove that the host's introduction of Lin Yi was a joke.

"Too slow."

Lin Qi was somewhat disappointed.

A Soul Elder's strength was still lacking. It had not met his requirements.

When Zhang Li came within three feet of him, a crimson longsword appeared in Lin Qi's hand.

Absolute scorching heat and incomparably sharp sword intent descended upon the Soul Fighting Platform in an instant.

The cry of a sword resounded through the entire Soul Fighting Arena, and the clamorous audience instantly fell silent.

Inside the private box, Chen Feng abruptly rose to his feet. His Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul emerged automatically and trembled slightly.

The Seven Kill Sword's trembling was not due to rising battle intent, nor was it because it felt challenged.

Chen Feng's heart shook violently, and his pupils constricted.

His Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul was afraid—afraid, and even wishing to submit to Lin Yi's Fire Sword Martial Soul?

How was that possible?
