Beat Him Up

The arena fell silent, and Qian Renxue's voice carried clearly into everyone's ears.

Almost everyone locked their gazes onto Qian Renxue at the same time.

Seeing that the person who spoke with such unbridled arrogance was merely a blonde girl, the excitement they had just mustered was instantly extinguished.

Lin Gufeng raised his head to look at that golden figure, a hint of perverse amusement rising in his heart.

"Little girl over there, are you serious about what you said?"

Qian Renxue was a bit bewildered herself; she hadn't expected her impulsive words to be heard by everyone.

If she backed down now, her reputation would become a joke. Furthermore, as a descendant of the Qian family, her mission was to eradicate all Fallen Soul Masters.

"I... I am serious! Mmph—"

Pufferfish Douluo hurriedly covered Qian Renxue's mouth. If he actually let her go down there to fight and something went wrong, it would be a disaster.

Below, Lin Gufeng nodded in satisfaction upon hearing Qian Renxue's reply.

He had been fretting over a lack of entertainment, and now it had come to him on its own—truly a gift from the heavens.

"I accept your deathmatch."

Lin Gufeng accepted the challenge, and the entire arena erupted upon hearing the news.

They never expected that the price of a single ticket would allow them to watch two shows.

And it was the current powerhouse, Lin Gufeng, facing off against an unknown, delicate girl; the outcome was without suspense.

The middle-aged men in particular looked at Qian Renxue with lingering, lecherous gazes, certain that there would be something exciting to see once the two started fighting.

"Haha, now we have a good show to watch."

"Indeed, indeed. Just thinking about it makes my blood boil."

Seeing that Lin Gufeng actually dared to accept, Pufferfish Douluo and Snake Spear Douluo prepared to use force to leave.

Qian Renxue noticed and quickly stopped them, patting her chest in assurance.

"Uncle Pufferfish, Uncle Snake Spear, don't worry. I won't be in any danger. Fallen Soul Masters are a scourge our family must eliminate; let Xiao Xue give it a try."

Hearing Qian Renxue's words, the two stopped their movements.

Although they desperately wanted to take her away, they softened upon seeing her pleading eyes and sighed.

"Just this once. Young Mistress, if you feel something is wrong, give the signal immediately. Snake Spear and I will kill that Fallen Soul Master and take you away at once."

Seeing them agree, Qian Renxue smiled happily. She looked at Chen Qi and tugged on his arm.

"Chen Qi, let's go. Let's show this crowd what real strength is."

On the stage, Qian Renxue and Chen Qi walked up with an air of unbothered confidence.

The host saw this and handed over the death waiver.

Qian Renxue took one look and generously signed the name "Qian Xue."

"The death waiver is signed. In that case, the deathmatch between the first-time combatant Qian Xue and Lin Gufeng, who just defeated the contestant Wang Long, officially begins!"

Opposite them, Lin Gufeng saw Qian Renxue bring a man up with her and asked, puzzled.

"Hey, little girl, our duel is 1v1. Please have the irrelevant person step down."

Qian Renxue crossed her arms and said loudly.

"This is my Martial Soul, Chen Qi!"

As she spoke, golden light emerged from Chen Qi. Long, golden hair grew out rapidly, and ten massive golden wings slowly unfolded behind his back.

In just a few seconds, Chen Qi transformed from an ordinary man into a divine Ten-Winged Angel.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned. It was the first time they had ever heard of a human Martial Soul that could turn into an angel.

Sensing the opponent's aura, Lin Gufeng frowned. He realized that Chen Qi was exactly the kind of angel that Fallen Soul Masters loathed the most.

Chen Qi spread his hands helplessly and looked at Qian Renxue.

"Didn't you say you wanted to fight? Why did you swap me in?"

Qian Renxue waved her hand playfully and laughed.

"Heehee, Chen Qi, this guy is a Soul King. I definitely can't beat him right now, so I have to rely on you."

He had expected Qian Renxue to be tough for once, but he hadn't expected her to call out her strongest substitute.

Chen Qi was helpless against this; after all, he was the one who had transmigrated to become her Martial Soul. Just as he wanted to strike a cool pose, he remembered he was being watched by countless people.

This made the socially anxious Chen Qi feel uneasy. If he had known, he would have let Pufferfish Douluo and the others drag Qian Renxue away.

"I have to end this quickly."

Chen Qi took a deep breath, suppressing his discomfort as he looked at Lin Gufeng.

Unexpectedly, Lin Gufeng interpreted this gaze as a provocation, and he roared as he charged forward.

"Are you looking down on me? Don't think you're invincible just because you have six more wings than me! First Soul Skill: Fallen Charge!"

Lin Gufeng transformed into a dark purple phantom and lunged straight at him.

"Chen Qi! Beat him to a pulp for me!"

Chen Qi raised his hand slightly as he saw this, a powerful force condensing within his palm.

Chen Qi quickly formed a watermelon-sized energy sphere. With a flick of his will, the sphere shot out with a whistle, instantly piercing through the phantom and drilling straight through the arena floor.

The phantom solidified, and a watermelon-sized hole appeared in Lin Gufeng's chest. No blood flowed out, for the flesh had been seared shut by the heat, sealing the vessels.

In his final moments, he could not believe he had died just like that—killed by a single strike from his opponent!

Thud!

Lin Gufeng collapsed to the ground, his life force completely extinguished.

Witnessing this scene, the audience was too shocked to even register their shock anymore. Ever since Wang Long had been defeated, the surprises had been relentless; they were either already shocked or on the verge of being shocked again.

In particular, the terrifying soul ring configuration beneath Qian Renxue—purple, purple, black—shattered everyone's understanding of reality.

"Damn, am I seeing things? A thousand-year first soul ring and a ten-thousand-year third soul ring? Is she even human!"

"A monster! This is a true monster!"

The entire arena erupted. They forgot about Lin Gufeng and Wang Long, remembering only that Qian Renxue had won and the astonishing nature of her soul rings.

Qian Renxue had no time to celebrate. Chen Qi's attack had drained almost all of her soul power, leaving her dizzy and lightheaded, as if suffering from a sudden drop in blood sugar.

Pufferfish Douluo and Snake Spear Douluo immediately rushed forward, catching the fainting Qian Renxue before vanishing from the spot.

Following this battle, Qian Renxue's reputation spread throughout the Heaven Dou Empire, reaching every corner in just a single day.

People were filled with immense curiosity about this "Qian Xue" who had shattered the established knowledge of the soul master world.

After receiving this news, Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect sat frozen, his mind blank for over ten seconds.

He knew this Qian Xue was actually the Spirit Hall Young Master, Qian Renxue, but he had never expected her soul ring configuration to be so heaven-defying.

She was truly someone even he feared.

In Notting City, an inconspicuous little town within the Heaven Dou Empire, a man who called himself the Grandmaster tore today's newspaper to shreds.

He let out a cold snort and stomped on the pieces several times.

"Hmph! These journalists will say anything for clicks. A thousand-year first ring? A ten-thousand-year third ring? Bah! They don't even know how to fake a story properly. To dare contradict my Yu Xiaogang's Ten Core Theories of Martial Souls—just wait until I report you all!"
