Ning An's offhand remark struck like a thunderclap out of nowhere.

The prodigies from the affiliated sects stared in stunned disbelief at the upright figure of the young man standing in the center of the arena.

They had never seen a support-type soul master dare to provoke five assault-type Great Soul Masters at once!

And he was only eleven, a child younger than any of them!

Wasn't he showing off a little too damn hard?

After a brief deathly silence, uproarious laughter swept across the entire Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect plaza!

The members of the various sects looked at Ning An as though he were a clown.

"Ha ha ha! He's gone mad! This Young Sect Master Ning must have been driven insane!"

"A Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda support-type soul master wants all five of us Great Soul Masters to attack together? Does he not even know what a soul master battle is?"

"I'm dying of laughter. Once he gets beaten flat in a moment, let's see whether he can keep acting so cocky!"

In their eyes, Ning An's actions were nothing but brainless showing off.

Below the arena, the hearts of everyone from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect instantly leapt into their throats.

The elders clenched their fists tightly, their faces deathly pale as even their breathing seemed to stop.

It was over.

Completely over.

Had my incredibly handsome and clever Young Sect Master been possessed by a ghost today?

Ning Tian stood at the very front of the crowd, her small hands tightly gripping her skirt. Her pretty face was filled with worry and panic, while her clear eyes remained fixed on her brother in the center of the arena. Her eye rims had begun to redden.

She believed in her brother, but in this situation, she simply could not imagine how he could win!

"Big brother... don't let anything happen to you..." Ning Tian murmured softly, her heart hanging in midair and nearly pounding out of her chest.

On the arena, Ning An stood straight and tall, his robes fluttering lightly in the wind. Faced with the endless mockery and concern, his dark eyes remained calm and unruffled.

After all, based on what he currently knew of himself, dealing with that bunch across from him was like an adult beating up children.

Across the arena, the twenty-seventh-level genius youth from the Longwind Sect had a thoroughly darkened expression. The mockery in his eyes had completely turned into cold hostility.

Others might think Ning An had gone mad, but he did not. In his eyes, Ning An was provoking him, pulling on a tiger's whiskers.

He was simply courting death.

"Good! What a fine Young Sect Master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"

The youth snorted through gritted teeth. Soul power roiled violently around him, and two yellow soul rings suddenly lit up.

"Since Young Sect Master Ning is so arrogant, so blindly confident and conceited!"

"Then today, we shall grant your wish!"

"We'll let you properly witness the power of assault-type soul masters and teach you the immensity of heaven and earth!"

As his words fell, he abruptly turned and shouted sternly at the four prodigies beside him:

"Brothers! Release your martial souls! Attack together!"

Before his words had even faded, five brilliant streams of soul power shot into the sky!

Boom! Boom! Boom—!

Five curtains of light burst open, revealing beast martial souls and tool martial souls alike. Powerful soul power fluctuations swept across the entire arena!

The Longwind Sect prodigy possessed the Gale Fiery Wolf martial soul. A twenty-seventh-level assault-type Great Soul Master, his wolf claws were razor-sharp, faint wind blades swirling around his body. His speed and explosive power were astonishing!

The other four possessed the Fierce Tiger, Ironback Serpent, Mountain-Splitting Axe, and Raging Wind Bird martial souls, respectively. The lowest was level twenty-three, while the highest was level twenty-seven—every one of them an assault-type soul master!

The five assault-type martial souls erupted at once, five pairs of soul rings flashing in unison. Their savage pressure stacked layer upon layer before crushing fiercely toward Ning An in the center of the arena!

"Second Soul Skill, Gale Rend!"

"Second Soul Skill, Fierce Tiger Shakes the Earth!"

"Second Soul Skill, Serpent Fang Pierce!"

The five of them immediately unleashed their strongest second soul skills. They intended to utterly knock that show-off from his pedestal and make him understand that without strength, he should not act so cocky.

Soul skill radiance in every color blanketed the entire arena.

The arena floor shook violently, and shattered stones flew everywhere.

The people from the visiting sects wore smiles, their gazes utterly certain.

It was over.

Five assault-type Great Soul Masters had all unleashed their second soul skills to surround and attack a support-type youth. Even if he was a genius, there was no way he could withstand it.

Sixty percent of the profits were securely theirs, and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's dignity would be utterly ground into the dirt as well!

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect elders' hearts had gone cold, yet they still kept a close watch on the arena. The resources were as good as lost, but they could not lose the Young Sect Master too.

Otherwise, it would be the sorrow of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Tian's entire body stiffened, her little face pale as she nearly lost control and rushed onto the arena.

Just as everyone believed Ning An was about to be overwhelmed by the soul skills and suffer a crushing defeat on the spot—

At the center of the arena, the young man's indifferent figure remained completely still.

"I have an assault-type martial soul too!"

His cold, deep voice suddenly echoed through the heavens and earth.

Buzzz—!

An incomparably savage and violent aura, far more terrifying than the combined soul power of the five opponents, erupted violently from Ning An's body!

The hearts of everyone beneath the stage abruptly clenched!

"Martial Soul—Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear!"

With Ning An's silent shout, pitch-black soul power spread outward.

Behind him, the phantom of a massive giant bear slowly condensed—its entire body dark gold, its fangs ferocious, its savage might towering into the sky!

How was this possible?!

This martial soul... a top-tier savage beast?

The next instant, a hundred-year soul ring faintly tinged with purple and a thousand-year purple soul ring rose from beneath Ning An's feet, spinning brightly around him!

One yellow, one purple!

A hundred-year first ring, a thousand-year second ring!

Everyone's pupils contracted sharply, their eyes nearly bulging from their sockets, their faces filled with utter disbelief!

Twin martial souls—his first martial soul was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, while his second was the top-tier beast martial soul, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear. And damn it, he even had the optimal overpowered soul-ring configuration for two rings?

With talent like this, with such a soul-ring configuration, he was a peak monstrous genius even among the younger generation across the entire continent!

The faces of the sect masters below the stage instantly turned pale. All their previous arrogance had transformed into bone-deep chill and fear!

The Longwind Sect genius, who had just unleashed his soul skill with killing intent written all over his face, suddenly stiffened. The soul power throughout his body nearly froze, leaving only endless terror and absurdity in his eyes.

Looking at the towering Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear phantom that blotted out the sky, his legs went weak uncontrollably.

Too powerful!

The pressure of this martial soul was simply not something Great Soul Masters like them could withstand!

Ning An raised his eyes, his gaze utterly calm as he looked at them and slowly spoke.

"First Soul Skill—Furious Bear Roar!"

BOOM!!!

A deafening bear roar exploded through the heavens!

Terrifying sound waves mixed with the bloodline pressure of a top-tier savage beast swept across the entire arena like a hurricane!

The five assault-type soul skills that had been hurtling toward him shattered inch by inch, vanishing into nothing!

The minds of the five geniuses went blank. Their eardrums throbbed with agony, their souls trembled, and their bodies froze in place. They completely lost the ability to move, falling into a brief state of stiffness and dizziness!

Seizing that instant, Ning An's soul power surged, and his thousand-year soul ring abruptly lit up with dazzling brilliance!

"Second Soul Skill—Dark Gold Bear Stomp!"

RUMBLE—!!!

High in the sky, a gigantic phantom bear paw that covered the entire arena condensed and descended with a thunderous crash. Its black and flowing gold hues intertwined, its patterns savage and menacing!

A terrifying force as heavy as a mountain, carrying the might to crush everything, stomped down viciously upon the center of the arena!

The thunderous blast shook the heavens, and the ground cracked apart violently!

A terrifying shockwave erupted madly from the point of impact!

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

The five young bodies were sent flying by the extreme force like kites with snapped strings!

The sect geniuses who had been arrogant and domineering only moments ago did not even have time to scream. Blood sprayed from their mouths as their bodies crashed heavily beneath the arena. After twitching twice, their eyes rolled back, and they completely passed out!

"Any other trash want to give it a try?" Ning An swept his gaze over the members of the various sects and slowly asked.
