Blazing Academy's Plot: A Soul Emperor Moves to Kill Chu Chen

"It's him. No mistake. After waiting here for so many days, we finally found our chance."

Another girl from Blazing Academy spoke coldly. She raised her eyes toward the man beside her, whose features somewhat resembled hers, and asked, "How are the arrangements going?"

"Don't worry. The Great Soul Arena only does things for profit. As long as we slip them some money, reporting false information won't be a problem."

The man spoke with a hint of contempt as he stared at Chu Chen standing on the arena stage, revenge burning in his eyes.

"Can this Feng Kuang really do it?" someone else asked.

"He's one of Godwind Academy's rare geniuses. He just broke through to level sixty-one. Dealing with a Soul Ancestor should be effortless. He only needs to hold back from using his Sixth Spirit Ability."

The girl appeared utterly unconcerned.

The Feng Kuang they spoke of was Chu Chen's opponent this time. His Soul Power had clearly reached level sixty-one, yet the Great Soul Arena's introduction listed him as only level fifty-five!

Chu Chen knew nothing of this for now.

He stood on the stage, his gaze beneath the broad brim of his hat fixed on Feng Kuang. This deathmatch officially began at that moment. By now, the name Destruction had already resounded throughout the entire Great Soul Arena.

It could even be said that all of Heaven Dou City had heard of the name.

"Brother Destruction vanished for several days and has finally appeared again. He's actually chosen to challenge an opponent at the Spirit King level?"

Inside a VIP viewing room, Xue Qinghe sat elegantly in his chair, a smile on his lips as he looked toward Chu Chen.

Dugu Bo, meanwhile, wore a strange expression.

"This kid—I wondered what he had been sneaking around doing. Turns out he came here to fight deathmatches. I heard the name Destruction a few days ago. Who would've thought it was this kid?"

Recalling Chu Chen's Second Martial Soul, which radiated surging Destruction Will, Dugu Bo smiled as well.

The name truly suited him.

"But there seems to be something wrong with his opponent..." Dugu Bo frowned deeply, his gaze falling on Feng Kuang. He could not shake the feeling that this man's Soul Power was strange.

At the same time, two figures appeared beside Xue Qinghe. One of them lowered his voice and said, "Young Master, there's something wrong with Destruction's opponent. He seems to have concealed his Soul Power."

"What?"

Xue Qinghe's expression tightened as he looked toward Feng Kuang.

"This person should possess the strength of a Soul Emperor. He deliberately suppressed his Soul Power. I'm afraid he has specifically targeted your friend, Young Master."

Xue Qinghe's expression grew more solemn. He rose to his feet and watched the match, while saying to the person beside him, "Uncle She, look into it."

"Yes."

On the Deathmatch Arena, Soul Power bloomed from within Chu Chen. As before, he did not reveal his Spirit Rings, nor did he intend to use any spirit abilities.

"Destruction, I watched your matches from a few days ago. You were very arrogant, but now that you've met me, this is where it ends."

A fierce gale suddenly rose around them. Feng Kuang was gathering his Soul Power. Then, he unleashed his Martial Soul: an eagle wreathed in raging winds!

"A Wind Eagle Martial Soul?"

Chu Chen extended a hand toward Feng Kuang, carrying a trace of provocation. Feng Kuang had come specifically to kill Chu Chen, so aside from being unable to use his Sixth Spirit Ability, he had nothing to worry about.

Whoosh!

Feng Kuang erupted into streaks of afterimages and rapidly closed in on Chu Chen. Soul Power condensed behind his back into a pair of Wind Wings. With every beat, they released an icy, cutting aura.

"First Spirit Ability, Gale Sweep!"

Feng Kuang swiftly approached Chu Chen. The surrounding gale instantly condensed into blade after blade of wind that converged on Chu Chen, while the violent winds formed an eye of the storm that restricted his movements.

Chu Chen gathered his Soul Power. Facing such an attack, he swiftly changed his approach and propelled himself forward with Soul Power!

He charged directly into Feng Kuang's attack. Golden Life Energy rapidly gathered, then exploded from his hand with a boom.

The dense Life Energy tore open a gap. Seizing the opportunity, Chu Chen rapidly closed in on Feng Kuang, attacking with both fists and feet and displaying powerful killing intent. Feng Kuang, meanwhile, relied on his advantage of flight.

The two continued to clash.

Boom!

Their brief exchange forced Chu Chen back several steps. Then an invisible impact of Soul Power struck Feng Kuang from an unexpected angle.

Feng Kuang used the opportunity to widen the distance and unleashed his Third Spirit Ability. "Third Spirit Ability, Wind Eagle Lock!"

Chu Chen felt an eagle-like gaze fall upon him, as though he were prey being watched by a great eagle. Layer upon layer of Soul Power condensed into powerful wind blades that continuously slashed toward him.

At his current speed, however, avoiding them was not difficult. With a unique footwork technique, he weaved through the dense wind blades.

"This guy's Soul Power is nothing like level fifty-five."

Chu Chen also sensed that something was off about this Soul Power. A chill rose in his eyes, and black-purple lightning condensed in his hand, radiating Destruction Will.

On the High Platform, Dugu Bo's thoughts stirred.

"This aura—it's the destructive aura of his Second Martial Soul. It seems he noticed something was wrong." Dugu Bo relaxed slightly.

He knew how domineering Chu Chen's Second Martial Soul was.

Chu Chen stopped using Ultimate Life and switched to Ultimate Destruction, which also proved that he had discovered Feng Kuang's true strength. With his level forty-nine Soul Power, it was not impossible for him to fight Feng Kuang.

On the Deathmatch Arena, Chu Chen swiftly clenched his fist. A domineering burst of black-purple lightning erupted from his punch, directly scattering the gale. Then, using that power, he forcibly reversed the wind blades' direction and sent them flying away.

Immediately afterward, he leaped into the air, spreading his Fists wide. As he struck with broad, sweeping movements, Destruction Fist Intent gathered and transformed into beams of fist-light.

Rumble!

The fist-light howled. Chu Chen used his brief airtime to exchange blows with Feng Kuang, while Feng Kuang spread his Wind Wings and tried to pull away—only to be startled by Chu Chen's speed.

Instinctively, Feng Kuang struck out with his palm. A faint eagle cry rang out with the strike. His fingers curled like an eagle's claw, wrapped in swirling gales as they aimed for Chu Chen's throat.

Fist and claw collided. Feng Kuang's expression changed instantly. His condensed Spirit Power Defense was shattered in a moment, and Chu Chen's punch directly crushed his fingers. Chu Chen's physical strength was extraordinary.

Crack!

Feng Kuang cried out in pain. In his panic, he unleashed all his Soul Power in an instant, blasted Chu Chen back, and rapidly retreated.

Chu Chen landed on the ground and gathered the black-purple lightning in his palm so that others could not identify it.

"A Soul Emperor, is that it?"

Chu Chen had tested Feng Kuang's strength and formed a vague suspicion. It seemed someone had targeted him. A Soul Emperor concealing his strength had come to kill him.

Feng Kuang's expression was grim. In his panic just now, he had exposed his true strength. Chu Chen had obviously noticed, and that only intensified Feng Kuang's killing intent!
