Kong You

Interestingly, Oscar actually knew the Spirit Master of the second match. Although they had never fought each other, they were on fairly good terms.

The opponent was a Power Attack Spirit Master whose Spirit was a relatively common farming tool—a scythe. However, his Spirit seemed to have mutated; the handle of the scythe had become extremely long, and the blade had become magnificently large. When summoned, the entire scythe was even taller than a person.

Seeing Oscar step onto the stage, the opponent smiled slightly and followed him up.

As the two stepped onto the stage, before the spirit fight had even begun, a wave of cheers erupted from the stands.

"Next, we will conduct the second one-on-one spirit fight of our fourteenth sub-arena, featuring two Spirit Elders!

I believe those who frequent the Soto Grand Spirit Fighting Arena are very familiar with these two. They are the Spirit Master Yuanzhen, who possesses a self-created spirit skill, and Kong You, who has already won five consecutive matches and wields the Death-Dealing Scythe!

The past 'kings who never met' have finally come together today. Let us look forward to seeing whether Spirit Elder Kong You can continue his glory and achieve a six-match winning streak, or if Yuanzhen, who has come from the main arena, will emerge victorious. Let us wait and see!"

"It's really not easy to get a match with you. Was that girl just now your girlfriend?"

Although Kong You's scythe looked magnificent and profound, he was a bit of a joker himself, with his greatest hobbies being watching the excitement and gossiping.

"Not... let's talk after the match."

Oscar rolled his eyes, not wanting to delve deeper into this topic.

"You should add a 'yet' in front of that. I think that girl will be yours sooner or later."

Kong You curled his lips before speaking seriously:

"Please go all out. Let me see the gap between us. There is one year left until our agreement. If you can really produce what I want by then, I will give up traveling the continent and follow by your side."

Oscar had watched most of the spirit fights at the Soto Grand Spirit Fighting Arena, so he naturally understood that he couldn't possibly be Oscar's opponent. However, he wanted to know just how large the gap was between himself and Oscar, both being Spirit Elders.

Oscar naturally understood his thoughts. After all, if that agreement could truly be fulfilled in a year, this guy would have to be tied to the Sky Net for life; it was only reasonable for him to see the leader's strength in advance.

Unlike the previous match, both sides were waiting in this one. Even Kong You, who had summoned his Death-Dealing Scythe, had no intention of making the first move.

After watching every one of Oscar's matches, he understood that to fight Oscar, one must not engage in a war of attrition. Once trapped in that, there would be no chance left.

The only way to cause trouble for Oscar was to condense all his abilities in an instant and attack a weakness found on Oscar's body.

His gray-black eyes scrutinized Oscar's movements. The posture with legs crouched and hands held one in front of the other looked full of openings, but once he deduced any one of those weaknesses, he found they weren't weaknesses at all; instead, they were like bait on a fishhook, luring one deeper.

Finally, he noticed that the power around Oscar's waist seemed somewhat stagnant. His eyes brightened instantly, and he stared coldly at Oscar, as if looking at his prey.

Three Spirit Rings—two yellow and one purple—appeared simultaneously around the Death-Dealing Scythe. As they pulsed up and down, they made the Death-Dealing Scythe feel even more suffocating.

Oscar looked at Kong You with a calm expression. He wasn't in a hurry at all; regarding this scythe, perhaps even Kong You himself didn't understand it as well as he did.

Because Electrolux in his mind had once mentioned to him that this scythe likely involved death, but for some reason, the aura on it was now somewhat impure, seemingly mixed with some light energy, which made the death energy less than pure.

This was also Kong You's greatest weakness. As long as one attacked the one-third point of the scythe handle during the fight, it could restrict the opponent's power and lead directly to victory.

So, even though the two hadn't fought yet, Oscar already knew he had won.

The moment Kong You rushed over, Oscar raised his hand and guided slightly—it was the classic redirection of force from the Taiji Fist!

By the time Kong You reacted, it was already too late. He finally understood what that strange power of Yuanzhen's that people talked about was!

Fortunately, he had extensive combat experience. Although the scythe hadn't stuck, he could escape this crisis by recalling and re-summoning it.

But this attack was destined to fail, and he could only turn quickly to the side, forcibly opening up the distance.

But now was the time for offense and defense to switch; how could Oscar let him run away so easily?

A long sword quickly appeared in Oscar's hand. The moment it appeared, Oscar's spirit power was already injected into the sword body!

The first form, Wind-Sweeping Dust-Clearing, was launched!

The sharp sword light struck directly at Kong You, but fortunately, he had already re-summoned his scythe at this instant. His first Spirit Ring lit up, turning into a gray ball of light that wrapped around his entire body, barely blocking Oscar's strike.

But Oscar reacted quickly. Knowing Kong You, he also knew the limits of Kong You's first spirit skill. Instantly, the sword tip turned downward, and the third form, Scooping the Moon from the Seabed, was launched!

This move instantly broke Kong You out in a cold sweat, and he retreated in a hurry. Then, his second spirit skill was activated, and a figure holding a scythe emerged from behind him, rushing toward Oscar!

The function of Kong You's second spirit skill was to create a clone that could simultaneously display the abilities he possessed and the techniques for using the scythe. However, no one knew that his second spirit skill and his first spirit skill were essentially a set.

A large part of the second spirit skill came from the power of the enemy's moves absorbed during the first spirit skill.

This secret had helped him trick quite a few Spirit Masters, and today he intended to use it to play a big game!

Facing the second spirit skill summoned by Kong You, Oscar didn't pay much attention. He understood that this second spirit skill couldn't be shattered; the only way to make it disappear was to defeat Kong You.

Oscar tapped lightly with his sword, and after tracing a perfect arc in the air, it precisely slashed onto the handle of Kong You's scythe.

This also caused Kong You's first spirit skill to fluctuate, but he saw a triumphant smile appear on the corner of Kong You's mouth, and then he saw the blade of the scythe spinning toward his own neck!

Oscar had long anticipated this. He launched the second form of the Taiji Sword Technique, Pushing the Boat Along the Current, and after neutralizing the power of Kong You's strike with his sword, he turned the blade again, slashing toward Kong You's first spirit skill with a portion of that strike's power!

"So you really did hide quite a bit. Was it prepared for me?"

When Oscar struck the gray ball of light, he felt something was wrong. According to his calculations, this strike should have absolutely shattered Kong You's first spirit skill, and there would even have been overflow, ending this match instantly.

"One has to try, don't they?"

Kong You shook his head and said indifferently, but in reality, he was extremely shocked.

Although he had watched Oscar's matches and calculated the damage of every one of his sword strikes, only at this moment did he truly know Oscar's terror. This guy had been hiding his strength even when fighting others!

This hellish sword strike—he feared it could directly cut a Spirit Sect who had just entered level 40 in half!
