Soul Fighting, Dawei Tianlong, Demon Back

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and a day went by.

Ye Ye arrived at Martial Soul City, looking up at the majestic city walls and the three large characters inscribed upon them: "Martial Soul City."

Ye Ye felt that Martial Soul City was even more magnificent and imposing than Tiantou City. There were not many guards here, which was a testament to the confidence of Martial Soul City; because of the power of the Martial Soul Hall, no one dared to cause trouble within its walls.

After entering Martial Soul City, one could see people coming and going. Ye Ye could tell at a glance that everyone here was a soul master. Although their average level was only around twenty, it was still a spectacular sight. Currently, no other place on the Douluo Continent possessed so many soul masters; the Martial Soul Hall was truly a paradise for them.

Just as Ye Ye was thinking about wandering around, the system's voice rang out.

Ye Ye had almost forgotten about today's sign-in.

[Ding! Enough talk, navigation arranged.]

"Unscrupulous Navigation at your service. Destination: Martial Soul Hall Auction House. Total distance 250 meters, estimated time 1 minute."

Ye Ye: "Xiao Ai, I feel like you need an update. Since it's so close, couldn't you have just told me directly?"

[Ding! Will note that for next time!]

Ye Ye walked straight toward the auction house.

"Arrived near the destination. Navigation ended."

Ye Ye looked at the auction house before him. Since the system hadn't given a prompt yet, it meant he hadn't reached the exact spot; he would have to go inside.

Ye Ye prepared to step into the auction house.

As he stepped into the lobby, several guards blocked his path.

Guard: "Sir, if you wish to participate in the auction, you must provide proof of sufficient assets."

Ye Ye said nothing and took out a card containing Gold Soul Coins. It was a golden card; each of these cards could hold up to 100 million Gold Soul Coins, and Ye Ye had ten of them.

The guard recognized the card, then bowed and said, "My apologies for the offense, please enter."

Ye Ye entered the auction house and spent 100,000 Gold Soul Coins to obtain a VIP status. The attendant gave him a golden mask and led him to a private room, from which one could see the auction floor outside, though those outside could not see in.

Ye Ye took a look around and noticed several other private rooms; he guessed those were also occupied by VIPs.

[Ding! Arrived at sign-in location. Would you like to sign in?]

Ye Ye: "Yes."

[Ding! Signed in at a Tier 2 treasure location. Congratulations on obtaining:

1. Cultivation improvement

2. Bloodline improvement

3. 200 points]

The rewards this time were a bit lackluster, with no new skills. Ye Ye knew it wasn't that the rewards were bad, but rather that the things he had signed in for previously were just too good.

Ye Ye: "Xiao Ai, open the system panel." (The author isn't padding the word count; it's just that the author needs to check it periodically to add the items obtained during that time. If he doesn't look for a long time, he might forget some things.)

The auction began. There weren't any good items in the early stages of the event, until a thousand-year soul bone appeared at the end. Ye Ye spent 800,000 Gold Soul Coins to win it. In truth, the quality of this soul bone was quite average, its age was low, and it was only a left leg bone. Initially, Ye Ye could have secured it for 200,000 Gold Soul Coins, but someone in another private room kept bidding against him. In the end, however, Ye Ye emerged victorious.

Ye Ye sold this thousand-year soul bone directly to the system and gained 100 points.

Afterward, Ye Ye left. He found a hotel—a very "proper" one—booked a luxury suite, and then headed back out.

Ye Ye arrived on a small street, intending to find a place to eat. It had been a long time since he'd had a proper meal.

Ye Ye came to a place called "Authentic Star Luo City Beef Ramen."

Ye Ye asked, "Is this authentic Star Luo (Shandong accent) style?"

The boss replied with an authentic Tiantou Empire (Cantonese accent): "Of course it is, lah."

(Although there are no accent issues in the original work, let's just treat this as a joke.)

Ye Ye said, "Give me a large bowl."

The boss brought out a bowl as big as a head and asked, "Will this do?"

Ye Ye: "No, make it bigger."

The boss brought over another basin and asked: "Is this one okay?"

Ye Ye: "No, I'm asking you, do you only have bowls this small here!"

The boss was getting angry too: "You can insult me, but you cannot insult my bowl! (▼皿▼#)"

As he spoke, he brought out an ancestral giant bowl that was one meter wide and 50 centimeters tall.

Ye Ye: "That's more like it! And don't skimp on that beef, just throw a whole cow in there for me."

The boss: "Fine."

Half an hour later, the noodles arrived. Because it was so massive, the boss had to push four tables together to make one. Ye Ye looked at the giant pile of noodles in front of him, along with pieces of beef as big as his head, and began to eat.

Customers who came into the shop later saw this and exclaimed "Holy crap," shocked that the boss had actually brought out his family's ancestral bowl.

They were all looking forward to seeing Ye Ye's performance and whether he could actually finish it. Ye Ye did not disappoint their expectations; not only did he finish it, but it wasn't enough, so he ordered another bowl.

After Ye Ye had eaten three full bowls, he was finally satisfied. The people around him were stunned that a single person could eat so many noodles.

Ye Ye paid 100 Gold Soul Coins and left.

After his meal, Ye Ye went out for a stroll. He arrived at a place called the "Martial Soul Hall Soul Fighting Arena" and decided to go in and have a go to help digest his food.

Ye Ye paid 10 Gold Soul Coins and registered for a badge under the name "Titan King Godzilla." After registering, one receives an iron badge. The badge ranks are Iron, Copper, Silver, Gold, Purple Gold, Sapphire, Ruby, and Diamond. Each victory adds 1 point, and each defeat subtracts 1 point. If you have a winning streak, you gain extra points for each win; that is, the first win adds 1 point, a second consecutive win adds 2 points, and a third adds 3 points. If you lose a match, the streak resets and you go back to gaining 1 point per win.

Once you reach 100 points, you can upgrade your badge. Ye Ye signed up for a deathmatch, where the outcome determines not just victory or defeat, but life or death.

When "Titan King Godzilla" was called, Ye Ye stepped into the arena. Some of the people who had bet on Ye Ye began to shout his name: "Godzilla, Godzilla, Godzilla."

Then, when Ye Ye's opponent appeared, the sound was far louder than for Ye Ye: "Tang Sanzang, Tang Sanzang, Tang Sanzang."

Ye Ye: "What the hell? First you kill Sun Xingzhe, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujin, and now a Tang Sanzang shows up? You brothers are really all here."

After the opponent appeared, Ye Ye got a clear look at him. The man was extremely muscular and very handsome, wearing a kasaya with a constant smile on his lips—a textbook protagonist.

Tang Sanzang's background:

Tang Sanzang was a person from Blue Star who discovered he had transmigrated to the Douluo Continent. He was pleasantly surprised, believing himself to be the protagonist.

He subsequently awakened his martial soul, which turned out to be Tang Sanzang. He began traveling the continent and eventually arrived at the Martial Soul Hall. He had been soul fighting for six months and had reached level 50 at the age of 20, making him a genius.

"Tang Sanzang, Martial Soul Tang Sanzang, level 59 Battle Soul King."

"Ye Ye, Martial Soul Godzilla, level 59 Battle Soul King."

Tang Sanzang: As expected, you are also from that world.

To confirm, Tang Sanzang said: "The Heavenly King guards the earth tiger."

Ye Ye was stunned: So you really are one too.

Ye Ye replied: "The pagoda suppresses the river demon."

The audience didn't understand what they were saying.

Tang Sanzang: "Even though you are one of those people, I'm sorry."

Tang Sanzang considered himself the protagonist and would not allow any other transmigrators to exist in this world.

Ye Ye: "I won't hold back either."

Ye Ye understood the other's intent. Since the opponent wouldn't spare him, he wouldn't let him live either.

Tang Sanzang initiated the attack first: "First soul skill: Dawei Tianlong, second soul skill: Daluo Dharma Mantra, third soul skill: World Honored Dharma Treasury, fourth soul skill: Prajna Buddhas, fifth soul skill: Jinshan Dharma Temple."

Tang Sanzang used all his soul skills at once, but these were all augmentation skills.

Audience: "Look, Tang Sanzang is using his ultimate moves right away!"

Ye Ye hadn't expected his soul skills to be like this.

[Ding! His highest achievement is Soul Saint. All his soul skills are based on that mantra: Dawei Tianlong, Daluo Dharma Mantra, World Honored Ksitigarbha, Prajna Buddhas, Jinshan Dharma Temple, Forbidden Land of Monsters, Prajna Bamahong.

Although he is only a Soul Saint at his peak, if one possessed the complete soul skills of this mantra, they could destroy the entire Douluo Continent.

Therefore, a mission is issued: kill him to obtain the mantra skills: Dawei Tianlong, Daluo Dharma Mantra, World Honored Ksitigarbha, Prajna Buddhas, Jinshan Dharma Temple, Forbidden Land of Monsters, and Prajna Bamahong.]

Ye Ye: "I didn't expect him to be this powerful."

After Tang Sanzang finished using his soul skills, his body began to swell, and golden light radiated from within. He tore off his kasaya, his clothes burst apart, and his massive muscles were revealed.

Ye Ye did not show weakness and began to release his own muscles. Although Ye Ye's muscles were aesthetically pleasing and not just bulky, one should not underestimate them. Ye Ye's muscles were actually compressed; if he released them fully, he would likely become enormous.

Ye Ye released a portion of his muscle mass, his clothes began to burst, and his muscles grew larger and larger. A demon face shape appeared on Ye Ye's back, formed by his muscles, representing his immense physical power.

The surrounding audience was stunned, and Tang Sanzang was shocked as well. He hadn't expected Ye Ye's muscles to be even more developed than his own, complete with a Demon Back. However, he wasn't afraid; he believed in himself. Even if he were afraid, he had no choice, as this was a deathmatch.

Tang Sanzang charged at Ye Ye and threw a punch straight at his face. Ye Ye caught Tang Sanzang's fist with his palm. Although his mantra was powerful, he was still missing two parts, and his strength was not yet overwhelming.

Seeing his punch caught, Tang Sanzang tried to trip Ye Ye with his leg. Ye Ye blocked him with his own foot and threw a punch at him. Tang Sanzang used his other arm to defend, but when Ye Ye's fist struck his arm, he was forced back two steps. Ye Ye hadn't expected him to block that punch, considering he had used his full strength.

Tang Sanzang rushed forward again and kicked toward Ye Ye, who blocked the strike with his arm before kicking back at Tang Sanzang, striking his thigh and causing his body to tilt forward unsteadily.

Then Ye Ye continued by throwing a punch at Tang Sanzang, but Tang Sanzang also threw a punch at Ye Ye; neither of them blocked, both landing their hits, and without separating, they continued to trade blows, punch for punch, without any defense or evasion.

They continued to fight like this.

The surrounding spectators were stunned; first, they had not expected Ye Ye to be so strong as to be evenly matched with Tang Sanzang, and second, they were shocked by the intensity of their battle.

Ye Ye: "Third Soul Skill: Berserk"

Ye Ye used the Berserk skill, and his attacks became faster and more powerful.

Seeing Ye Ye suddenly become more ferocious, Tang Sanzang also attacked Ye Ye like a madman.

After a long while, blood appeared on both of their bodies, their speeds slowed down, and veins bulged all over them.

After a few more punches, Ye Ye suddenly exerted force, unleashing a full-power punch that knocked Tang Sanzang to the ground, then Ye Ye rushed up and kicked Tang Sanzang several meters away before pinning him down and continuing to strike his head until Tang Sanzang had no breath left.

And just like that, the prodigy of a generation, Tang Sanzang, perished!

After Ye Ye was declared the victor, the entire arena erupted in thunderous cheers: "King of Titans, King of Titans, Godzilla, Godzilla, Ye Ye, Ye Ye!"

Ye Ye left the Soul Fighting Arena and arrived at his hotel to wash his body, never having expected Tang Sanzang to be so valiant.

What Ye Ye did not know was that his battle had been spread throughout Martial Soul City by the spectators, nor did he know that Tang Sanzang was backed by Martial Soul Hall, and even less did he know that Martial Soul Hall had already set its sights on him.
