Martial Soul Hall vs. Stone Kingdom and Fire Kingdom: How Do They Compare?

"If that arrogant Pope of yours were to go to the Imperial Capital of the Stone Kingdom, she wouldn't even have the qualifications to stand before the Human Emperor's vast Imperial Dragon Qi; she would have no choice but to kneel and submit!"

"And the Human Emperor would only need a single finger to uproot your pride and joy, the Martial Soul Hall, along with that Martial Soul City, erasing them from the earth entirely!"

Hearing Su Chen's brazen words, the Platinum Bishop trembled with rage, his finger pointing at Su Chen shaking uncontrollably as he found himself unable to utter a single word.

It was not just them; everyone in the great hall felt their scalps tingle at Su Chen's unvarnished remarks.

Shattering stars with a single punch?

Wiping out Martial Soul City with a single finger?

What kind of monster was this!

By comparison, the meager soul power and authority of their Tiandou Empire's Emperor Xue Ye weren't even fit to wash the man's feet!

Watching the people of Douluo Continent below—stunned to the point of questioning their existence, their worldviews shattered, and even forgetting to retort—the smile on Su Chen's lips grew ever deeper.

Then, he gently waved his folding fan and asked unhurriedly:

"Do you all believe that the Human Emperor of the Ancient Kingdom in these Eight Regions of the Lower Realm is already the peak of combat power in this world?"

The crowd was stunned, and they subconsciously swallowed their saliva.

Wasn't he?

If being able to knock stars from the sky and kill a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast with a single roar wasn't the peak, then what was!

However, Su Chen slowly shook his head.

"Above these Eight Regions of the Lower Realm, there exists a world even more vast and boundless."

"That world possesses three thousand provinces, with endless traditions and immortal families standing tall."

"That place is known as the Upper Realm!"

"And these Eight Regions of the Lower Realm, which you view as vast, filled with experts, and ruled by the Human Emperor—"

"In the eyes of those giants in the Upper Realm, they are nothing more than a cage."

Hearing these two words, countless soul masters and nobles who prided themselves on their nobility turned pale, collapsing into their chairs with vacant eyes.

The Eight Regions of the Lower Realm, with their billions of miles of territory, were actually just a cage!

Then what did that make their Douluo Continent?

Just as the entire hall was still digesting the world Su Chen had described, a youth dressed in simple blue robes in the corner of the lobby slightly lowered his eyes.

It was Tang San!

Tang San appeared calm, but his hands, hidden beneath his sleeves, were clenched involuntarily.

He turned his head to look beside him.

He saw the Vice Dean of Shrek Academy who had brought him here, the Immovable Bright King Zhao Wuji, currently standing with his mouth agape, frozen like a stone statue; clearly, he too had been completely shaken by the word "cage."

Seeing this, a trace of imperceptible gloom flashed in Tang San's eyes.

Teacher Zhao had actually forgotten the entire purpose of coming here to establish their prestige!

If he let this Su Chen continue to boast so recklessly, who in the future would still take Shrek Academy seriously in this Douluo Continent?

Thinking of this, Tang San took a deep breath, stepped forward, and adopted a humble, inquisitive posture:

"Mr. Su."

"You have described that Perfect World so magnificently, and even mentioned numerous Primordial Remnants and fierce beasts."

"I wonder, in that world, are there any exceptionally powerful ape-like beasts?"

Having said this, Tang San deliberately paused, glanced at Zhao Wuji beside him, and then raised his voice:

"You previously said that the Heavenly Horned Ant far exceeds the Titan Giant Ape. So, how would those ape-like beasts compare to the Titan Giant Ape, known as the King of the Forest on our Douluo Continent, or perhaps the Vajra Bear, which possesses ultimate defense and strength?"

"Which is stronger, and which is weaker?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd, still immersed in shock, snapped back to reality. Their gazes shifted in unison toward Tang San, then followed his lead to look at the burly Zhao Wuji.

Many present were shrewd; how could they not hear the hidden barbs in the blue-robed youth's words?

The Titan Giant Ape was the absolute hegemon of the Star Dou Forest!

And the Vajra Bear was Zhao Wuji's signature martial soul!

This kid was clearly trying to stir up trouble!

On the high platform.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen's hand, which had been waving the folding fan, paused slightly.

He then slowly lowered his head to look at Tang San, who appeared so respectful among the crowd below.

His gaze then swept over Zhao Wuji beside Tang San.

With just a single glance, Su Chen exposed him without reservation:

"Are you trying to use me as a weapon?"

Tang San's expression stiffened, and a flash of panic crossed his eyes; he clearly had not expected the other party to be so blunt. But he quickly feigned composure and said, "Sir, you misunderstand. Tang San is merely curious..."

"Curious?"

Su Chen didn't wait for him to finish, cutting him off directly: "Put away those nauseating, manipulative schemes of yours."

"Isn't your goal to stir up conflict between me and Zhao Wuji so he can stand up for you and smash the sign of my Listening Rain Pavilion?"

Exposed in front of everyone, Tang San's face instantly flushed to the color of a pig's liver.

Beside him, Zhao Wuji also snapped back to reality at that very moment!

That's right!

I came here today to wreck the place; how did I get bluffed by this kid's story?

In an instant, Zhao Wuji's rugged face turned incredibly ugly, his large eyes glaring fiercely at Su Chen on the stage, ready to strike at the slightest disagreement.

Yet, Su Chen didn't even put the enraged Zhao Wuji in his eyes.

He looked down at Tang San from his high position, speaking word by word:

"Since you asked, this Su will let you die with a clear understanding today."

"Ape-type fierce beasts are as numerous as hairs on an ox in Perfect World, whether it be the Zhu Yan or the Demon Ape, all of which are existences capable of tearing stars apart with their bare hands."

"But if we are talking about the most famous, it has to be the peerless Holy Fighting Ape clan from the Shrouding the Heavens era that followed Perfect World!"

Hearing the words Shrouding the Heavens, everyone in the hall was stunned once more.

An era after Perfect World?

Could this Mr. Su actually know the secrets of another epoch?

"Holy Fighting Ape?" Tang San was also taken aback upon hearing this, but he gritted his teeth and asked relentlessly:

"How does it compare to the Titan Giant Ape and the Vajra Bear?"

"How?"

"Tang San, this Su can tell you clearly."

"Don't talk about just one Titan Giant Ape or one Vajra Bear!"

"Even if you added up all the soul beasts on your Douluo Continent, or gathered ten thousand hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Apes, and another ten thousand hundred-thousand-year Vajra Bears!"

"In front of a Holy Fighting Ape, they wouldn't even be able to withstand a single strike of his staff."

"They wouldn't even be fit to carry his shoes!"

Hearing Su Chen's boundless arrogance, Zhao Wuji was instantly incensed.

"You bastard, you're courting death!"

The Vajra Bear was his life-bound martial soul; if he could endure such an insult, he wouldn't be worthy of the name Immovable Bright King!

Accompanied by a thunderous roar, a brilliant radiance of soul power erupted from Zhao Wuji's body.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black!

A full seven dazzling soul rings rose from beneath his feet, and the phantom of a massive, dark-gold Vajra Bear condensed into shape behind him!

In an instant, a violent pressure belonging to a Soul Saint swept across the entire ground floor hall.

Countless low-level soul masters were sent tumbling by the shockwave, their screams filling the air.
