A pale blue light screen quickly extended from the Soul Tool in all directions, and under the operation of Qiangu Mingyue, it isolated everyone from the roof in an instant.
"With the soul power support of several Super Douluos, as long as no energy at the level of a 'full-strength strike from a Limit Douluo' erupts within the barrier, none of you will be affected."
After offering this explanation to the curious crowd, Qiangu Mingyue immediately looked at the two people standing opposite each other inside the barrier:
"This can also be considered a soul duel that I, as the Spirit Pagoda master, am personally presiding over."
"So, to add a prize, the winner among you may make one reasonable request of this master."
"That is all I have to say. Begin, you two."
As everyone knows, the current Spirit Pagoda master, Qiangu Mingyue, is undisputed as the continent's number one in achievements regarding technology, spirit souls, and other research!
Therefore, a reward such as being able to make a request of the Spirit Pagoda master left everyone present secretly envious and jealous.
And so, under the envious gazes of the crowd, the two people inside the barrier began this soul duel!
Unlike the duel from a few years ago, this time, after hearing the reward added by Qiangu Mingyue, Yun Ming began using his spirit souls and soul skills right from the start.
Relying on his level advantage and his own strength, he quickly forced Leng Yaozhu to reveal her bracelet.
On the field, "You detestable guy!" Leng Yaozhu whispered angrily, her thoughts shifting.
With a crisp 'click', silver-purple light ignited from the bracelet and spread!
In a flash, it equipped Leng Yaozhu with a form-fitting full-body armor, silver-based with purple line patterns and embedded with azure soul power crystals!
"This feeling...!"
Clenching her fist in disbelief, Leng Yaozhu felt that her current state was stronger than ever before!
"Is this the Super S-rank Valkyrie Battlesuit?"
At this moment, Yun Ming, standing opposite her, couldn't help but whisper to himself. While he felt an unprecedented sense of oppression from Leng Yaozhu, he immediately revealed his own four-word battle armor. After a moment of silence, Yun Ming decided to strike first!
As his soul ring glowed brilliantly, a massive amount of soul power converged onto his martial soul, the Heaven-Propping Spear!
His figure vanished instantly, and a fierce offensive carrying immense soul power struck directly at Leng Yaozhu!
"Well come!"
However, facing such an offensive, Leng Yaozhu did not retreat, instead shouting as she met the attack head-on!
Her soul rings flared with brilliant light, and an energy offensive, a mix of fiery red and silver-purple, collided with Yun Ming's attack!
"BOOM!"
The massive discharge of energy caused the entire barrier to tremble twice.
Inside the barrier, where smoke billowed from the energy explosion, the fiery red mixed with blue-purple constantly collided with the pitch-black energy, flashing brilliantly everywhere!
A moment later, as the smoke cleared:
Yun Ming, with a pale face, damaged battle armor, and several furrows plowed into the ground before him, stood in stark contrast to Leng Yaozhu, who had retracted her armor and stood with a rosy complexion.
"Wow! Look, Ah Yue, Big Sister won!"
Leng Yulai immediately hugged Qiangu Mingyue's right arm in surprise.
"Hmm—it seems our Sister Yaozhu is indeed a cut above."
Stroking Leng Yulai's head with his other hand, Qiangu Mingyue snapped his fingers.
The Super Douluos, who had been standing to the side with their soul power dispersed and their eyes still filled with shock at the result, put away the special barrier Soul Tool.
"I lost."
As the barrier dissipated, Yun Ming, standing far across from Leng Yaozhu, rarely lowered his arrogant head and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Actually, you didn't really lose. Your strength is still very high. If you also had the Valkyrie Battlesuit crafted by Ah Yue..."
"Then even if I used this 'Origin', I might not have been able to win against you."
However, facing Yun Ming's words, Leng Yaozhu gave a cold, light laugh, mocking his Shrek battle armor so sharply it was like twisting a knife in his heart.
"..."
Silence. Not only did Yun Ming fall into silence, but everyone present was also speechless.
After all, a level 75 Soul Saint wearing that so-called Super S-rank Valkyrie Battlesuit had soundly beaten a level 83 powerful Soul Douluo wearing four-word battle armor.
Thinking of this, everyone understood that the era of the Battle Armor Master and the mecha pilot seemed to be coming to a complete end!
And now, the armor crafter who mastered the ability to allow high-level soul masters to fight across a major rank, or rather, the original creator of such armor, Qiangu Mingyue!
This youngest Spirit Pagoda master in history would be the most sought-after and noble existence on the continent in the future!
"So, Sister Yaozhu, what request will you make of me as your reward?"
The magnetic, gentle voice of the young man broke the silent atmosphere, and Qiangu Mingyue looked at Leng Yaozhu before him with tenderness.
"I'll ask later~" With a blushing glance at Qiangu Mingyue, Leng Yaozhu subconsciously touched the "Origin" bracelet.
"Everyone, don't just stand there. It was only a soul duel; don't forget that tonight is my sister's coming-of-age ceremony!"
Turning to look at the crowd, whose eyes were gradually growing heated as they focused their attention on Qiangu Mingyue, Leng Yaozhu clapped her hands and smiled.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes! Congratulations to Miss Leng Yaozhu on her victory in the Soul Combat, and congratulations to Miss Leng Yulai and the Pagoda Master as well!"
"Yes, yes, yes, absolutely! Congratulations, congratulations! It seems the future of the Spirit Pagoda is truly limitless!"
"Who could say otherwise? After all, the most talented individuals are standing right before us, haha!"
"."
In an instant, a joyous and fervent atmosphere once again enveloped the banquet hall as everyone exchanged further words of congratulation.
However, those who attempted to strike up a conversation with Ming Yue, Leng Yaozhu, and Leng Yulai were quite direct.
They were even more straightforward when it came to fawning over the descendants of the Leng Family and the Qiangu Family.
As for Yun Ming and the few high-ranking members of Shrek, losers have never received much attention.
Even if they did, it was only met with pity and sighs, or more directly, malice and disdain.
Following this, the coming-of-age banquet continued in its heated atmosphere.
Even until the very end, those present still seemed somewhat unsatisfied.
Of course, whether they were unsatisfied because they hadn't managed to speak with Ming Yue, or simply because the banquet itself was ending, was hard to say.
It was only when the banquet concluded, the guests had all departed, and only the housekeeping staff remained to begin cleaning the hall, that things shifted.
Leng Yaozhu then pulled Leng Yulai and Ming Yue along, heading up to the top floor of the villa under the knowing, maternal gazes of many Leng family members.
Stepping through the doorway onto the rooftop, they were met with a round table already set with wine, glasses, and chairs.
The radiance of the stars and moon bathed the earth, and the crimson wine in the bottle shimmered with an alluring luster.
Even the wine glasses seemed as though they had been plated with a halo of silver light.
