The Soul Hall's Name Resounded Across Star Luo!

After several consecutive matches, it was finally Zhengtian Academy's turn to take the field.

The referee looked at the roster and announced loudly, "Changning Advanced Spirit Master Academy's team versus Zhengtian Academy's team!"

Losk looked at Xiao Jinchen and asked, "Jinchen, are you going on?" The other members of Zhengtian Academy also turned their gazes toward him.

Xiao Jinchen casually waved his hand. "I'll be enough on my own." With that, he rose to his feet and walked toward the arena.

Seeing that Xiao Jinchen was alone on the stage, the referee hurriedly said, "Zhengtian Academy, this is not a one-on-one match. The other team members must take the stage immediately, or you will be deemed to have forfeited."

Xiao Jinchen smiled faintly. "I alone am enough to deal with this flock of mangy birds."

The referee hesitated before asking, "Are you sure you alone will compete?"

"Mm." Xiao Jinchen nodded.

After hearing those contemptuous words, the captain of Changning Academy's team instantly darkened.

One of the members gritted his teeth. "Captain, teach him a harsh lesson. He looks down on our Changning Academy too much!"

"Hmph!" The captain of Changning Academy's team snorted coldly. "His arrogance will bring him a lesson sooner or later."

"Both sides, retreat and open up the distance!" Once both teams had taken their positions, the referee raised his hand and brought it down sharply. "Match begin!"

The moment his words fell, the seven members of Changning Academy's team immediately released their martial souls. Their captain was a Soul King, while the remaining six were all Soul Ancestors. The captain's Spirit Rings were the standard optimal configuration: two yellow, two purple, and one black.

Only after every member of Changning Academy's team had revealed their martial souls did Xiao Jinchen slowly walk toward them. With each step he took, a Spirit Ring rose beneath his feet and revolved around his body.

At first, the Changning team members looked relaxed. But as more and more Spirit Rings appeared, their expressions gradually turned ugly, until they finally became terrified.

Yellow, purple, black, black, black, red, pale white! By the time Xiao Jinchen was still several dozen meters away from Changning Academy's team, his terrifying Spirit Ring configuration had been completely revealed.

All seven Spirit Rings were on display, and the pressure of Soul Power at the Soul Douluo level swept out from him, enveloping the entire arena.

In an instant, everyone present froze, and the venue fell into dead silence.

Whether it was the seven members of Changning Academy's team on the arena or the hundreds of thousands of spectators in the stands, all of them stood rooted in place.

"Whoa!"

After that brief silence, the entire venue erupted, instantly breaking into an uproar.

"A... a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring! It's actually a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring!"

"Heavens! There's actually a pale-white Spirit Ring!"

"How is that possible?! How old is he? How could he possibly be a Soul Douluo?!"

"An abnormal Spirit Ring configuration, and even a differently colored Spirit Ring! This kid is terrifying!"

On the high platform, Star Luo Empire's higher-ups all rose to their feet, staring fixedly at the arena with faces full of shock.

"Where did Heaven Dou get such a monster? Has our intelligence network been eating for free?!" Xu Jiawei's face was livid, his eyes bloodshot as he roared while panting heavily, "Investigate immediately! Dig up every last detail about this boy!"

The officials were so frightened that they collapsed to their knees in unison.

Although the three empires were now united against a common enemy, their secret rivalry had never ceased. Watching their longtime rival, Heaven Dou, suddenly produce such a peerless genius, Xu Jiawei could no longer maintain an emperor's composure.

After all, Shrek Academy's Huo Yuhao could still potentially be recruited, but Xiao Jinchen represented an academy of the Heaven Dou Empire. Bringing him under his command would be harder than reaching the heavens.

On the arena, Changning Academy's seven members stood stiffly, their lips trembling. They could not even form a complete sentence, as extreme terror gripped their hearts tightly.

"S-Soul Douluo! How could you possibly be a Soul Douluo?!" Only after a long while did the captain of Changning Academy's team manage to force out those words.

"Just luck." Xiao Jinchen smiled. Then he slowly raised his right hand, and Emperor Flame instantly surged forth. Terrifying heat waves swept outward from the center of his palm.

Xiao Jinchen flicked his finger, and Emperor Flame shot into the sky, transforming into an incomparably massive seven-colored Fire Lotus. The seven-colored Fire Lotus slowly unfurled, and the entire arena was instantly engulfed in flames. The soul tool protective barrier surrounding the arena shattered the moment it touched the Fire Lotus.

The Fire Lotus slowly rotated, and violent Soul Power fluctuations swept outward, making even the arena beneath their feet tremble slightly.

The spectators in the stands stared tensely, their faces filled with terror.

At that moment, the entire world seemed to have become a steamer. Under that scorching heat, the ground below directly caught fire.

Then, the Fire Lotus in midair suddenly began spinning faster. Specks of fire scattered from its petals, transforming into a rain of flames that crashed down from the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Wherever the fiery rain landed, the ground immediately split apart. Huge cracks rapidly spread, and this section of the arena was reduced to ruins in an instant.

The scorching heat waves dispersed, and the smoke and dust settled.

The center of the arena was completely empty, leaving only charred black cracks.

As for Changning Academy's seven members, they had all already passed out.

"Hiss!"

After a moment of dead silence in the stands, a collective gasp erupted. The hundreds of thousands of spectators felt their scalps go numb as a chill shot from the soles of their feet to the crowns of their heads.

That was a Soul King! Yet he could not even withstand a single exchange against Xiao Jinchen?

On the high platform, Xu Jiawei's face was deathly pale. His mouth hung open, but he could not say a word for a long time.

Even the Soul Sage-level referee was drenched in cold sweat. The power of that terrifying fiery rain attack had already surpassed the level of a Titled Douluo.

Xiao Jinchen slowly withdrew his hand. The seven-colored Fire Lotus in the sky returned to his palm, becoming Emperor Flame once more before dissipating into nothingness.

Xiao Jinchen lazily yawned and smiled lightly. "Looks like they couldn't even take one attack from me."

"Referee." Xiao Jinchen tilted his head toward the terrified referee and smiled faintly. "I won, didn't I?"

"Huh?" The referee responded instinctively. He looked at the devastated competition platform, then at Xiao Jinchen, who still wore a smile on his face, and instinctively swallowed.

"Y-Yes." The referee hurriedly suppressed the shock in his heart and announced loudly, "Zhengtian Academy! Victorious!"

Xiao Jinchen slowly turned around. Facing the densely packed Star Luo Plaza to the south, his voice, amplified by Soul Power, spread into every corner of Star Luo Plaza.

"I am Xiao Jinchen! The Young Hall Master of the Soul Hall!"

The scene, which had only just calmed down, was ignited once more by Xiao Jinchen's words.

"The... the Soul Hall?! It's actually that Soul Hall with a Limit Douluo overseeing it!"

"The Soul Hall! Could it be the Soul Hall that stole two hundred million Gold Soul Coins from the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect?! And he is actually the Young Hall Master of the Soul Hall!"

"Ah! The Soul Hall's Young Hall Master is so powerful—I want to join the Soul Hall too!"

"The Soul Hall?! He actually comes from that extremely mysterious organization of legend—the Soul Hall!"

On the high platform, Xu Jiawei's pupils suddenly contracted, replaced by even deeper shock.

"The Soul Hall... the Soul Hall... so this young man actually came from the Soul Hall..." Xu Jiawei's expression grew darker and darker as he murmured, "Just what kind of force is this Soul Hall? First, it robbed the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect of two hundred million Gold Soul Coins, and now their Young Hall Master is even representing Zhengtian Academy in battle, with such terrifying talent..."
