Countless shocked discussions surged like a tidal wave from all around the Martial Arts Arena, completely igniting the emotions of the Body Sect disciples nearby.
At that moment, Chen Lü, Wang Yanfeng, Gu Tong, and the others were all utterly dumbfounded.
They stood stiffly in place, like wooden statues that had lost their souls.
"Th-This is Senior Brother Liu Yuan's Spirit Eye? How is it completely different from a normal Spirit Eye?"
Chen Lü swallowed with difficulty, his voice hoarse from extreme shock.
"Isn't this destructive power a little too absurd?" Wang Yanfeng stared fixedly at the pierced Basalt, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"So he isn't taking the path of a control or support soul master. This is simply the purest, most violent killing technique!"
Gu Tong was even more shaken. With a bitter laugh, he mocked himself, "No wonder he has Gold Grade potential."
"We only ever thought of using Spirit Eyes to disrupt opponents and support teammates..."
"But he directly developed such a terrifying ability."
"This gap in understanding really is ridiculously monstrous!"
Meanwhile, from the seats on the other side, Du Busi could not hide the shock in his eyes either.
As a Level 98 Super Douluo, he had seen countless strange and bizarre soul skills...
But a method like Liu Yuan's, which highly condensed spiritual power through Spirit Eyes and unleashed it instantly in the form of high-energy rays, had truly exceeded his expectations.
Yet he quickly burst into loud laughter, unable to contain his wild delight.
"Good! What an excellent Spirit Ray!" Du Busi slapped his thigh fiercely, the green light in his eyes brighter than ever before.
"This old man originally thought his Spirit Eyes would be like the others, mainly focused on control and support. Who would have thought that this brat would forge his own path and create an unprecedented route of powerful assault!"
"Hahaha! Good! Good! Good!"
"This old man can hardly wait to see what he does next!"
On the arena stage, Long Aotian, who had taken the attack head-on, was far more shocked than any of the spectators.
But in that heart-stopping instant, relying on his rich combat experience and exceptional mental fortitude, he immediately regained his composure after that brief lapse.
"Interesting! Junior Brother, you truly deserve my full strength!" Long Aotian shouted lowly. He stomped both feet against the arena floor, his body turning into a bronze streak of light as he rapidly charged toward Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan remained as calm as an ancient well. The crimson light within his Double Pupils flared once more, and a second Laser Eye shot toward Long Aotian without reservation.
This time, Long Aotian did not choose to evade the destructive red light.
The First and Third Spirit Rings beneath his feet lit up at the same time. Accompanied by a low roar, his body underwent a startling transformation.
"First Soul Skill, Demon Ape Transformation! Third Soul Skill, Dark Gold Power!"
Long Aotian's already burly body grew even taller. Driven by Soul Power, his bronze skin rapidly transformed into a cold metallic hue like raw iron.
Every inch of his muscles seemed forged from tempered steel, radiating an indestructible aura.
He actually intended to use his strongest defense before the Second Awakening of Body Martial Soul to withstand Liu Yuan's Laser Eye head-on and close the distance.
However, Liu Yuan's Laser Eye was simply too powerful. What made this attack especially terrifying was its sustained high-energy burning.
When the crimson beam struck Long Aotian's metallic skin, it produced a shrill sizzling sound as sparks flew everywhere.
That condensed spiritual penetrating force, accompanied by intense heat, continuously burned and stimulated his skin.
Long Aotian could initially press forward through the pressure, but he soon discovered that the metallic skin wherever the red beam passed was beginning to melt.
The intense stabbing pain drilled straight into his Sea of Consciousness, and he was starting to struggle to endure it!
This sustained damage... is too unfair! Long Aotian thought in alarm.
He no longer dared to endure it head-on the entire way. He could only use nimble footwork to make intermittent evasive movements through the beam, shifting left and right and constantly closing in on Liu Yuan through blind spots in his vision.
As long as he did not take the attack head-on the entire time, Long Aotian's foundation as a Soul Ancestor in his forties revealed itself.
After enduring a certain degree of burns to his skin, he finally reached Liu Yuan.
"It's over! Fourth Soul Skill, Mad God Slash!"
Long Aotian's eyes became exceedingly fervent.
With a thunderous roar, his Double Arms instantly swelled from the infusion of Soul Power. The metallic sheen on his skin intensified to its peak, then distorted and transformed into two enormous pitch-black axes the size of doors!
He leaped high into the air, merged the two axes into one, and slashed fiercely down at Liu Yuan with a force that seemed capable of splitting heaven and earth!
The Body Sect disciples below the arena erupted into discussion, and many instinctively stepped back because of the terrifying axe light.
"Senior Brother Long Aotian is still incredibly strong. That move has sealed off all of Senior Brother Liu Yuan's escape routes. He probably won't be able to withstand it!"
But others held a different view and sighed, "It's normal if he can't withstand it. After all, Senior Brother Long has two whole Spirit Rings more than him!"
"Besides, a soul master in his forties fighting someone in his twenties was forced to use even a trump card like his Fourth Soul Skill. In a sense, Senior Brother Liu Yuan has already won!"
The battle on the arena stage continued with wild intensity.
Seeing Liu Yuan's slender figure appear so tiny beneath the shadow of the giant axe, many disciples closed their eyes, believing that this spar was about to end.
Long Aotian thought so too.
He intended to stop his "giant axe" at the very instant before it struck Liu Yuan, using the force of the wind to suppress his opponent and end the spar directly, so as not to injure this exceptionally gifted junior brother.
But what he never expected was that, when facing this fatal blow, Liu Yuan not only did not dodge, but instead revealed a resolute and crazed gaze before charging forward of his own accord!
What he chose was the most primitive form of combat—trading injury for injury!
At that moment, Liu Yuan abandoned his long-range suppression. His two arms were covered in faint Soul Power as he actually reached out with his bare hands to grab the descending pitch-black giant axe!
Splat!
Because the gap in cultivation was simply too great, Liu Yuan's arms were cleanly severed the instant they touched the axe blades, as though they were made of paper. Blood instantly sprayed out.
Long Aotian was completely stunned by the sight. His intention to pull back his strength caused his movements to stall for an instant.
And within that one-thousandth of a second, the crimson light in Liu Yuan's Double Pupils erupted with full force at point-blank range. Two thick, pillar-like Laser Eyes crashed violently into Long Aotian's chest!
Boom—!!!
Violent power exploded instantly within that narrow distance.
Long Aotian's entire body jolted as if struck by lightning. With a muffled groan, he was blasted directly off the arena by the enormous impact and slammed heavily into a distant protective wall.
For a moment, the entire Martial Arts Arena fell deathly silent.
Long Aotian had lost?
But now, no one cared about the outcome of the match itself.
Everyone stared in horror at the blood-soaked youth in the center of the arena. They saw that Liu Yuan's arms had both been cleanly severed, stark white bones exposed as blood stained a large section of the ground red.
"Liu Yuan!!!" The smile vanished from Du Busi's face in an instant, replaced by extreme fury and alarm. His body turned into a streak of green light as he shot toward the arena.
All the disciples were badly frightened as well, their minds blank.
What were they supposed to do now?
Could a top genius really be crippled just like that?
