This Zandik Must Not Be Kept!

Kong Bo then raised his head and looked at the host of the Underground Soul Fighting Arena, "Host, sir, can you announce the result of the match now?"

At this moment, the host looked at the pile of ashes that was once Locke and hurriedly announced the result, "Let us congratulate Mr. Zandik on his victory in this match."

"Hmm, very good." Kong Bo walked backward. He could feel many hostile gazes directed at him, which was exactly what he wanted. He retracted his Moon Shuttle and began walking out of the arena.

Back at the preparation area, Lin Lang's expression was grave, "You've really stirred up big trouble. This Locke was a disciple of a big shot behind the Xishui Alliance. Are you not worried that the people from the Xishui Alliance are dissatisfied with you?"

"So what?" Kong Bo shook his head with disdain, "Do you want to make a fortune without taking any risks? I welcome them to come, because there are still some things I need from them."

Now that Kong Bo had fought a life-or-death battle and finished dealing with the "Gundam" for two and a half years, he intended to start working on some "projects." These projects required "materials," so he would have to trouble these Xishui Alliance members to make their own contributions to his research.

"Let's go," Kong Bo said.

Just after Kong Bo left, Ye Guyi stared intently at his retreating back. She seemed to be speaking to someone, "Senior, you... do you mean he is not an Evil Soul Master? Sometimes, are Soul Masters without evil martial souls more dangerous than those who possess them? I understand, Senior."

In the following days, Kong Bo would come to the Underground Soul Fighting Arena every afternoon for life-or-death battles. Compared to honing his combat techniques, it was more important for Kong Bo to temper his own heart. The "Gundam" training had ended, and the training for personally manufacturing Gundams had officially begun. The opponents Kong Bo encountered were basically members of the Xishui Alliance, and they were powerful fighters compared to him. After defeating them, Kong Bo would naturally and unhesitatingly unleash various "execution techniques."

For instance, Kong Bo would use the Moon Shuttle to release a freezing ray, turning his opponent into an ice sculpture. He would then retract the Moon Shuttle and walk away. After a few steps, Kong Bo would snap his right hand, triggering the Ice Explosion on the ice sculpture. With a loud bang, the sculpture would shatter completely, leaving behind a pool of blood and water.

"Zandik!" "Zandik!" "Zandik!" The audience shouted until they were hoarse. Compared to the bloody and violent execution methods of previous contestants, Kong Bo's style was more elegant, yet far more cruel and ruthless. His opponents were often left with nothing remaining of their bodies. This was intentional on Kong Bo's part; Evil Soul Masters often used Gundams to cultivate, which was why they were keen on investing in this Underground Soul Fighting Arena. By reducing his opponents to dust, Kong Bo ensured the Evil Soul Masters gained nothing from them.

"This brat Zandik cannot be kept alive!" Skaven, the Xishui Alliance representative in charge of managing the Underground Soul Fighting Arena, said after watching Kong Bo's match, "Have you investigated his background? Does he have any connection to the Pingfan Alliance or the Aodu Chamber of Commerce?"

"None," an Evil Soul Master behind Skaven replied.

"Very well," Supervisor Skaven sneered, "In that case, he must be eliminated. Otherwise, he might be scouted by the Aodu Chamber of Commerce or the Pingfan Alliance, and then we won't be able to get rid of him. Since he killed a disciple of His Excellency Nether, we can claim credit from His Excellency once we kill him."

"Understood!"

"Wait!" Skaven suddenly thought of something, "That girl named Lin Lang—don't touch her. She has ties to the Aodu Chamber of Commerce. Make sure you keep her away when you strike."

Skaven dispatched a total of twenty people to kill Kong Bo: ten Soul Elders, five Soul Ancestors, three Soul Kings, and two Soul Emperors. In Skaven's view, the fact that "Zandik" could produce a soul tool meant his elders must have some strength. However, since the flying sword was only a second-tier soul tool, Kong Bo's elder was likely just a Soul Emperor. This lineup was more than enough to take out Kong Bo and his elder.

At this moment, Lin Lang was preparing to drive Kong Bo and the Evil Emperor away when the Evil Emperor noticed a group of Soul Masters approaching them. The Evil Emperor told Lin Lang to go home first. Lin Lang nodded and left; after all, the Evil Emperor was a Limit Douluo, so she really didn't need to worry about Kong Bo's safety.

Once Lin Lang drove off, the Evil Emperor transmitted her voice to Kong Bo, "Kong Bo, someone is coming. Let's lure them further away. The Demon Empress and Lan Fozi are nearby; they will be responsible for packing these people up and taking them back."

The Evil Emperor then sent a message to the Demon Empress and the others, telling them to prepare at the ambush site. She then led Kong Bo away from the Underground Soul Fighting Arena, and the two walked toward the outer city. The two leading Soul Emperors assumed these two were new to the Ming Capital and had lost their way. With a wave of their hands, the group of Soul Masters leaped across the rooftops, closely tailing the Evil Emperor and Kong Bo.

Before long, the Evil Emperor and Kong Bo arrived at a secluded alley. Seeing that there were few people around, the twenty Evil Soul Masters leaped down from the rafters, surrounding the Evil Emperor and Kong Bo in layers.

The Evil Emperor looked at Kong Bo, "Alright, it's your turn to speak. Say something impressive. Although I've spent time in human society, I'm not as eloquent as you."

"Understood, Sister Evil Emperor," Kong Bo said. He spread his arms and shouted to the group of Evil Soul Masters, "Gentlemen, welcome. I have been waiting for you."

"Arrogant brat!" the lead Soul Emperor said coldly, "Blame yourself for killing someone you shouldn't have. To think you'd actually welcome us—do you really think this elder of yours is some kind of Titled Douluo?"

"Well, you guessed right," Kong Bo said with a smile. At that moment, the Evil Emperor cooperated perfectly by manifesting nine simulated soul rings. The overwhelming pressure of a Titled Douluo's soul power swept across the entire area, pinning all twenty Evil Soul Masters firmly to the ground.

"We have been waiting for you," Kong Bo said loudly, "Welcome once again, everyone. You are about to become my test subjects!"

"Test subjects? What is that?" the lead Soul Emperor asked. At that moment, the Evil Emperor elegantly snapped her fingers. Facing Soul Masters whose highest strength was only that of a Soul Emperor, she didn't even need to use a soul skill; a simple burst of mental pressure was enough to knock all twenty Evil Soul Masters unconscious.

"Very good," the Evil Emperor said, pointing at the pile of unconscious Evil Soul Masters to the Demon Empress and Lan Fozi who had just emerged. "Let's pack these people into the containers together. Take Kong Bo back, and I will return to the Underground Soul Fighting Arena."
