"I underestimated him. His Martial Soul is clearly the useless Blue Silver Grass—how could he possess such ferocious close-combat techniques?"

Wang Teng quickly adjusted himself and charged at Chu Chen under Martial Soul Possession. Though his attacks lacked any particular form, they were immensely powerful and heavy.

They appeared chaotic, yet were impossible to guard against!

"Bang!"

Chu Chen blocked with his arm while using a unique technique to deflect the force of the blow.

He swiftly clenched his fist and threw a punch, using the momentum of his body to drive a knee strike into Wang Teng.

Both of them staggered back several steps. Chu Chen seized the opportunity and charged forward again, his fists and legs both becoming weapons.

"First Spirit Ability, Furious Bear Wrath!"

Wang Teng had been enraged. He activated his white First Spirit Ring, and with a bear's roar, he blasted the nearby Chu Chen away before raking a claw toward his head.

Every strike he delivered was meant to kill!

Those who participated in Death Matches were clearly people who had cast life and death aside. This type of match was often the cruelest and the most blood-pumping.

Although life and death were disregarded, surrendering in time could end the soul fight. Yet ordinary people would never surrender. Even if they wanted to, a moment's hesitation was enough for their opponent to kill them.

"You're courting death by not using Spirit Abilities!" Wang Teng felt deeply insulted.

They were both Rank 43 Soul Ancestors, yet Chu Chen had not used a single Spirit Ability so far. He had not even used his Martial Soul.

All he relied upon was his terrifying close-quarters combat skill!

To Wang Teng, this was humiliation, and humiliation had to be washed away with blood.

"You're still not strong enough to make me use a Spirit Ability." Chu Bai's body erupted with surging blood qi, faint Blue-Gold Life Aura flowing around him.

Facing Wang Teng after he activated his First Spirit Ability, he sidestepped Wang Teng's punch before slamming a palm into his chest. The Hidden Force within made Wang Teng's chest heave violently and accelerated his heartbeat.

"Boom!"

Chu Chen threw a punch, releasing Blue-Gold radiance from his fist.

After years of cultivation, he had long since completely fused the Blue Silver Emperor's Life Aura with himself, giving birth to ultimate Life Blood Qi!

This Life Blood Qi not only enhanced his physical strength, but could also autonomously protect his body in battle, completely shielding him.

In a clash of strength, Wang Teng gained no advantage.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!" Wang Teng retreated again and again, his footsteps making the Soul Fighting Arena tremble.

He finally realized Chu Chen's strength. Then, the Fourth Spirit Ring on his body erupted with powerful Soul Power. "Fourth Spirit Ability, Earth Splitting Rock!"

Wang Teng hammered the ground like a Savage Bear. The entire Soul Fighting Arena rapidly cracked apart, erupting with Soul Power compressed to its limit. The repeated impacts nearly covered the entire arena.

In his eyes, Chu Chen had nowhere to escape!

Yet Chu Chen did not dodge. A Blue Silver Emperor bloomed in his hand. The next moment, the Blue Silver Emperor burst from the ground, and Chu Chen used it to leap into the air before nimbly landing above Wang Teng.

"Your Fourth Spirit Ability is powerful and covers a wide area, but it is useless against airborne opponents."

Blue-Gold Soul Power gathered in Chu Chen's hand, making Wang Teng sense death. He hurriedly opened his mouth, wanting to surrender.

But Chu Chen gave him no chance. In midair, he grabbed Wang Teng's head with both hands. Wang Teng let out a muffled grunt as his neck was snapped directly. Chu Chen's strength was this terrifying—enough to twist off the head of a strength-type Spirit Master like Wang Teng.

Having easily settled the first battle, Chu Chen turned and walked off the stage.

"I announce that Destruction has won this Death Match!"

The referee also recovered from his shock. He loudly shouted Destruction's name, instantly igniting the atmosphere in the arena.

"Destruction! Destruction! Destruction!"

Countless people shouted in unison. They had come to watch Death Matches precisely to experience this primal thrill of fighting with their lives on the line.

And Chu Chen had killed Wang Teng with the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul without even using a Spirit Ability!

This made every spectator feel incomparably excited.

It could be said that Chu Chen had truly become famous in a single battle. After all, both fighters had been Soul Ancestors, yet no one had ever killed an opponent without using Spirit Abilities.

Meanwhile, in the VIP Viewing Room above, an elegant young man smiled faintly, gently swirling the wineglass in his hand as he thoughtfully replayed the Death Match from moments ago.

"Destruction, with Blue Silver Grass as his Martial Soul? Such sharp and ruthless killing techniques. Perhaps he is worth getting acquainted with."

The young man smiled. He was none other than Xue Qinghe, Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. Watching the cruelest Death Matches in the Soul Fighting Arena was also one of his hobbies.

It was not only a way for him to vent the pressure of his dull life in hiding.

It was also a way for him to seek out exceptional talents. To him, that was another kind of enjoyment.

After a brief rest, Chu Chen faced his second Death Match.

His opponent was likewise a Soul Ancestor with a Ten-Year Spirit Ring, but he was an Agility Attack System Spirit Master.

When Chu Chen once again cleanly and efficiently killed his opponent, prolonged cheers immediately erupted throughout the arena. The name Destruction rapidly spread throughout the Great Soul Arena of Heaven Dou City.

Rising to fame in the Great Soul Arena was often easy.

The prerequisite was that you had to survive!

The combat techniques Chu Chen displayed overturned everyone's understanding. He truly had not used any Spirit Ability.

At most, he had only briefly summoned his Martial Soul.

"This Destruction is too terrifying. With combat skills like that, who can fight him?"

"He hasn't even used his Spirit Abilities!"

"But there's no mistaking his Martial Soul. It really is Blue Silver Grass."

Six kills in one night—this was Chu Chen's record for the night. Although it still fell somewhat short of the ten consecutive victories he had set for himself,

he could no longer find any opponents. Unless... he directly participated in fifty-level Death Matches, but that would require discussion with the person in charge of the Soul Fighting Arena.

Though there had only been six short Death Matches, the name Destruction had already gained some real fame. If Chu Chen chose to enter fifty-level Death Matches, countless spectators would surely flood in to watch.

For the Soul Fighting Arena, that would undoubtedly bring in a massive amount of money. Besides, in Death Matches, they did not need to worry about collecting the contestants' bodies. Why would they refuse?

"That's enough for tonight. I'll come again tomorrow." Chu Chen walked out of the Preparation Room and saw a figure outside, about to knock on the door.

"Greetings, contestant Destruction. It is our first meeting. I am Xue Qinghe, Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."

Xue Qinghe spoke with refined gentleness. He revealed his identity at once, using his status to pressure Chu Chen. After all, no one would refuse to give an empire's Crown Prince face. This method of making acquaintance was indeed unexpected.

"Your Highness, may I ask why you have sought me out?" Chu Chen chuckled, his voice emerging from beneath his black robe.

"Earlier, I saw Brother Destruction display such sharp and decisive killing techniques, and I became interested. Since I have loved close-quarters combat techniques since childhood, I came specifically to exchange some insights with Brother Destruction."

Xue Qinghe said with a smile, appearing utterly natural and without the slightest flaw.
