"Finally, the duel between the two protagonists is here. I'll bet one gold coin that Ye Tianyun will definitely win."

"Does that even need a bet? Ye Tianyun has Battle Armor and Soul Tools; he's crushing Tang San in every aspect. What does Tang San have to win with?"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, and none of them were optimistic about Tang San, as he held absolutely no advantages.

Tang San naturally heard the crowd's conversation clearly. His expression darkened, his face as gloomy as if someone owed him millions.

Only Xiao Wu offered comfort, full of confidence:

"Brother San, you will definitely win."

In the Live Broadcast Room, the battle began.

Tang San was the first to light up his first Spirit Ring.

"Blue Silver Entanglement."

A stalk of Blue Silver Grass sprouted from the ground, spreading out like an ordinary vine and lunging straight at Ye Tianyun.

[This is Tang San's first Spirit Ring, also known as the 'Mother's Entanglement.']

The Live Broadcast Room suddenly provided commentary.

The remark left Tang San stunned. What "Mother's Entanglement"? He had never heard of such a thing.

Outside the arena, Tang Hao gritted his teeth in hatred. He understood perfectly well; the so-called Blue Silver Entanglement was Ah Yin's entanglement.

The Live Broadcast Room was courting death.

Facing the "Mother's Entanglement," Ye Tianyun calmly waved his Soul Banner and lit up his first Spirit Skill.

A lion spirit emerged from the Human Emperor Banner, letting out a series of roars before spitting out a stream of scorching flames.

The flames engulfed the Blue Silver Grass, burning it to ashes in an instant.

This was the effect of his Martial Soul, the Human Emperor Banner.

By absorbing the Spirit Rings of Spirit Beasts, he could summon their spirits, which possessed the skills they had in life, with their strength scaling alongside Ye Tianyun's own growth.

His first Spirit Ring was a Flame Lion, and his second was an Evil Eye Tyrant. When he first encountered the Evil Eye Tyrant, Ye Tianyun hadn't known what it was, only sensing that it possessed mental abilities and was definitely rare.

"Damn it, a fire-attribute skill."

Tang San gritted his teeth in anger. His Blue Silver Grass had not evolved, possessed no awakened bloodline, and had not been tempered by water and fire; his resistance to flames was practically zero.

As for the Blue Silver Grass's second skill, Parasitic, it likely wouldn't be able to do anything to Ye Tianyun either.

However, Tang San remained confident. He still had the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record and Tang Sect Hidden Weapons as his trump cards; he was not inferior to anyone.

"Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track."

Tang San utilized the Tang Sect's ultimate technique, weaving across the arena like a phantom as he rapidly closed the distance to Ye Tianyun.

He raised both hands, which were now shrouded in a jade-like glow, as if he had donned green armor, making his hands as hard as jade.

"Mysterious Jade Hand."

With a sharp shout, Tang San struck toward Ye Tianyun, aiming straight for his shoulders.

He attempted to use the Crane Controlling Dragon Capturing Hand to dislocate Ye Tianyun's arm.

Ye Tianyun lightly shook the Human Emperor Banner and lit up his second Spirit Ring.

"Evil Eye Tyrant."

The next second, the spirit of the Evil Eye Tyrant appeared, its giant eye covered in countless tentacles, its body shimmering with a halo.

The moment the Evil Eye Tyrant appeared, it used its powerful mental energy to suppress Tang San.

Tang San felt his mind sink; under the mental suppression, he was unable to make accurate judgments quickly.

Although his practice of the Purple Demon Eye had enhanced his spirit, he was no match for the Evil Eye Tyrant, which specialized in mental power—not to mention that Ye Tianyun also had the bonus of the Evil Eye Spirit Bone, creating a mental resonance that suppressed Tang San together.

Just as Tang San's mind was suppressed, Ye Tianyun swung the Soul Banner, knocking Tang San to the ground.

"Brother San!"

Xiao Wu wanted to rush in to help, but Tang San stopped her with a gesture.

He knew the rules of the Soul Fighting Arena and feared offending the venue, and furthermore, he still had confidence, so he held Xiao Wu back.

Tang San stood up, wiped his face, and looked at Ye Tianyun with gloomy eyes.

"Very well. This is the first time I've ever lost."

He had dominated Nuoding Academy for over five years, remaining undefeated against everyone in the school, yet this was the first time he had been knocked to the ground.

He had been completely crushed in terms of Martial Soul; even after using the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Mysterious Jade Hand, he still couldn't take down Ye Tianyun.

Ye Tianyun waved the Human Emperor Banner in his hand. A purple-black baleful aura—no, a noble aura—swirled around him, making him appear even more dignified.

He looked at Tang San with a calm expression.

"Tang San, it looks like I've won."

He remembered the disdain Tang San and Yu Xiaogang had shown him years ago, and a wave of satisfaction washed over him; he had finally settled the score.

"Is that so? The outcome hasn't been decided yet."

Tang San revealed a meaningful smile, his right hand secretly resting on the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges.

He prepared to draw the Godly Zhuge Crossbow to give Ye Tianyun a shot.

Before the Live Broadcast Room, Main Timeline Tang San saw through his other self's intentions at a glance and couldn't help but curse:

"Instead of working hard on cultivation, he's using some Godly Zhuge Crossbow."

He was mainly worried that the Godly Zhuge Crossbow wouldn't be able to take down Ye Tianyun, leading to mockery and causing him to lose face.

Unfortunately, Tang San couldn't hear him; in an instant, he pulled the Godly Zhuge Crossbow from his Storage Belt and pulled the trigger.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Several sounds of piercing through the air suddenly rang out, sharp arrows cutting across the sky and emitting a faint, cold light.

The light illuminated Ye Tianyun's eyes.

Ye Tianyun's pupils revealed a faint blue luster as he activated Spirit Detection.

This was the basic skill of the Evil Eye Spirit Bone; if it could be advanced to one hundred thousand years, it would also grant the Light of Destruction.

"Battle Armor, activate."

Ye Tianyun channeled his soul power, and the formation patterns inside the Battle Armor activated, forming a screen of light that blocked the arrows.

Clang, clang, clang...

The arrows made clinking sounds as they fell to the ground one after another, unable to penetrate the Battle Armor's light screen.

Let alone the defense of the Battle Armor itself.

In the sky, the Live Broadcast Room spoke up once more.

[This is the Battle Armor. In addition to significantly increasing soul power, Ye Tianyun has also input defensive formation patterns, which can form a protective shield. Combined with the rare metals of the Battle Armor, this provides double protection, making it difficult for ordinary Tang Sect Hidden Weapons to break through.]

Tang San saw the Godly Zhuge Crossbow being blocked, his pupils shrinking abruptly as his tone filled with disbelief:

"How is this possible? Why were you able to block my Godly Zhuge Crossbow?"

He couldn't figure it out, nor could he understand why his Godly Zhuge Crossbow, which could shatter gold and break jade, had been blocked.

Suddenly, Tang San noticed the formation patterns on the Battle Armor and thought of Tang Sect Hidden Weapons, keenly realizing that this might be equipment from another world, similar to Tang Sect Hidden Weapons.

Tang San was extremely envious.

Just as he was coveting it, the Evil Eye Tyrant exerted mental suppression once again.

This time, boosted by the Battle Armor, Ye Tianyun's Soul Power Level reached level forty, making his suppression ability even stronger.

Tang San's spirit was suppressed into a daze, and Ye Tianyun swung the Human Emperor Banner again, sweeping Tang San off the arena.

"Sorry, you lost. This bag of gold coins is mine."

Ye Tianyun picked up Tang San's wager and slowly retreated, his gaze fixed on Tang San as the Live Broadcast Room provided commentary again.

[Ye Tianyun is worried that Tang San might launch a sneak attack, so he is retreating slowly, not daring to turn his back on Tang San.]

Main Timeline Tang San: "..."

What was the meaning of this Live Broadcast Room? Was he the type of despicable and shameless person to launch a sneak attack?

He hadn't done it, so he hadn't done it; this was slander.
