Victory (Please Keep Reading)

Tuo Ba Xi's face darkened below the stage. Dugu Shuo was troublesome enough, but his son Dugu Feng was actually just as difficult to deal with.

Hei Tian was dead.

Hei Tian had been the one with the greatest hope of dominating an entire realm, yet in the end, he had been killed so cleanly and decisively.

He was somewhat surprised by the Dugu Family's ruthlessness.

They clearly knew the Black Tiger Sect was backed by Spirit Hall, and that having the Black Tiger Sect join the ranks of those controlling the Great Soul Arena was Spirit Hall's intention.

Yet they had still struck without the slightest mercy.

Was it only the Dugu Family that acted this way, or had they reached a consensus with the other families?

"Sect Master, bad news! Hei Ling was killed by someone from the Dai Family during his soul duel!"

A sudden cry rang out around the Soul Arena.

But when the newcomer saw Hei Tian's corpse beside Black Demon, his face instantly turned deathly pale.

Dugu Feng smiled.

How could the Great Soul Arena's profits be so easy to take?

The five great families aside from the Holy Dragon Sect had reached an agreement: if they encountered a Black Tiger Sect Person, they would suppress them forcefully, and kill them if they could.

That Hei Ling had been fighting in the Soul King realm.

That was enough to make the Black Tiger Sect ache.

Black Demon's expression shifted repeatedly. "I don't believe you can keep winning forever!"

He walked off the stage without looking back.

The Black Demon Sect had sent out five people, and on the very first day, they had already lost two.

But at least there were still three left.

As long as they won against the Six Great Families in one realm and obtained the qualifications to control the Great Soul Arena, that would be victory.

When the soul duels ended, the audience gradually dispersed, all of them in high spirits.

No one had expected a clash between low-level Soul Masters to be so exciting. They all cried out that it had been worth it.

Dugu Feng looked toward a spot in the audience stands. Zhu Zhuqing had come at some point, and now she was gradually leaving along with the crowd.

Here to gather information?

When the soul duel came, he would definitely beat a cat call out of her.

Dugu Feng smiled coldly.

A moment later, he followed his father, Dugu Shuo, back to the top floor of the Great Soul Arena.

The matches on the other Soul Arenas had also produced their results.

They had not been that bloody, mostly being sparring matches.

The Six Great Families were very familiar with one another.

Which realm the other side wanted to dominate could be seen from the Soul Masters they sent out.

Just like Little Snake, who was now level twenty-three. The other families could also tell that his appearance was not aimed at dominating this realm, so there was no need for a deathmatch.

As for someone like Zhu Zhuyun, whose Soul Power Level was thirty-seven, her goal was to defeat every opponent in the Soul Elder realm. Those without conflicting interests would mostly keep it to sparring.

After today's matches, Dugu Feng suddenly felt that this kind of soul duel was very interesting.

At first, he had thought the rules were a little too casual.

But now, looking at it, dominating a realm meant possessing an invincible bearing.

Only like this could true powerhouses be born.

If a family could not produce a powerhouse capable of defeating all Soul Masters of the same realm, then that family would inevitably head toward decline.

Very interesting.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, another three days went by. Dugu Feng fought three more matches, against the Ge Family, Thunder Academy, and the Dai Family respectively.

The Soul Masters from the Ge Family and Thunder Academy admitted defeat after releasing their soul skills onstage.

As for the Dai Family's Soul Master, he simply admitted defeat without even going onstage.

Perhaps after watching Dugu Feng's battle on the first day, he had been afraid of being poisoned to death.

By the fifth day, he was facing an opponent from the Holy Dragon Sect.

He had originally thought he could go on a killing spree.

In the end, the Holy Dragon Sect admitted defeat in advance again, not even daring to step onto the arena.

As for the Black Tiger Sect, which had been targeted by the five great families, only one Soul Emperor remained with four consecutive victories. Today's fifth match was the most crucial one, because his opponent in the sixth match would be the Holy Dragon Sect, and the Holy Dragon Sect would definitely go easy on him.

Therefore, this fifth match was the decisive battle that would determine whether the Black Tiger Sect could become one of the Great Soul Arena's controllers.

The fact that the opponent had won four matches in a row was enough to show that he was very strong.

In this match, the deciding power once again fell into the Dugu Family's hands. His opponent was Old Scorpion.

Talk about enemies meeting on a narrow road—though that wasn't quite right, either. After all, they were bound to run into each other.

This soul duel had not been arranged for spectators. Instead, it was being held in a rather hidden Main Soul Duel Arena, with only members of the Six Great Families around.

This soul duel mattered too much, so everyone treated it with caution.

The Soul Arena was over seventy meters in diameter and was normally used for team soul duels.

This time, it had been assigned to Old Scorpion and that Soul Emperor from the Black Tiger Sect named Heiyan.

Dugu Shuo, Old Snake, and Dugu Feng were all in the very front row of the spectator stands, their eyes fixed tightly on the stage.

Dugu Feng also looked toward Heiyan, the Soul Emperor.

He was practically a larger version of Hei Tian, Evil Qi seeming ready to spill out from all over his body, turning into gray currents that continuously spread across the arena.

Old Scorpion opposite him was just as exaggerated, radiating an icy chill.

That chill was no different from that of a Cold Attribute Soul Master.

Old Scorpion had once said that the main reason he had not been poisoned to death was that he had absorbed two Spirit Rings from Ice Attribute Soul Beasts. Relying on the aura of the Ice Attribute, he had restrained the toxins in his body, and only then had he managed to cultivate all the way to Soul Emperor.

This was also one of the directions the family had tested for restraining toxins. Basically, every Soul Master would add an Ice Attribute Spirit Ring.

After Old Scorpion released that chill, intense fighting spirit surged out after it.

He first used Martial Soul Possession, and immediately afterward, toxic rays filled the sky, shrouding the entire arena in Poison Fog.

Then Old Scorpion went berserk.

He did not seem like a Poison Soul Master at all.

Instead, he looked more like a Tool Soul Master.

After Martial Soul Possession, his entire arm and palm became like a scorpion's exoskeleton, stretching much longer and becoming his weapon.

He charged straight at Heiyan.

Low shouts and pounding sounds kept coming from within the Poison Fog.

Dugu Feng silently counted the time. The longer it dragged on, the more advantageous it was for Old Scorpion.

Until three minutes had passed.

The two sides still had not decided the victor.

Dugu Feng began to grow optimistic. Old Scorpion's Jade Phosphor Scorpion poison was not as strong as Tyrant Poison, but after so much time had passed...

Heiyan was definitely headed for tragedy.

Another several minutes passed. Dugu Feng was somewhat surprised, but after a brief thought, he understood. Heiyan must have taken an Antidote Pill before going onto the stage.

But Antidote Pills had their limits too.

Since the other side had failed to take down Old Scorpion after so long, the toxin would only sink deeper and deeper.

In the end, he would definitely lose.

There was a bang.

Old Scorpion and Heiyan separated after colliding.

Though it only Flashed and Disappeared, Dugu Feng saw that both of their bodies were covered in wounds.

He felt even more confident.

In such a brutal battle, the poison was definitely taking effect.

After a few more breaths, the battle gradually died down, and the Poison Fog in the arena slowly dispersed as well.

Only one figure remained standing. Who else could it be but Old Scorpion?

His opponent Heiyan was already deader than dead.

Dugu Feng looked not far away. Black Demon's face was deathly pale. With Heiyan dead, the possibility of joining the Great Soul Arena was completely gone.

Beside Black Demon stood a black shadow—it was none other than Guimei. Guimei looked coldly in the direction of the Dugu Family, and his figure vanished directly.

Spirit Hall's two arrangements this time, the Elephant Armor Sect and the Black Tiger Sect, had both failed, making Guimei exceptionally angry.

But Yu Yuanzhen was also here, so even he could do nothing about it.

He had to return to Spirit City immediately and inform the Pope of this matter.
