Xia Yuan had already become the ultimate demon king BOSS of the selection tournament.

The contestants below the stage knew that if they did not defeat this BOSS, they would never make it onto the arena!

So this time, they truly joined forces and began forming teams and planning tactics.

They refused to believe that Xia Yuan, a single Contract Spirit, could withstand wave after wave of attacks from so many of them!

Even if they could not defeat him.

They at least had to make Xia Yuan take a step!

Otherwise, where would the pride of the other Contract Spirit Masters and Contract Spirits go?

The second raid team, formed specifically to defeat Xia Yuan, stepped onto the stage!

This time, there were ten Contract Spirits on the stage.

On the arena.

Xia Yuan smiled disdainfully and beckoned at them. "Come on."

In an instant!

The ten Contract Spirits each took their positions, shouting and roaring as they charged at him!

"Explosive Flame!"

"Water Gun!"

A fire skill and a water skill struck Xia Yuan, who stood in place, but they were not meant to attack him.

When fire and water met, their temperatures canceled each other out, turning into steam that filled the air and blocked Xia Yuan's vision, preventing him from using that move from before to blast them away!

The next second, five melee Contract Spirits almost simultaneously leaped into the vapor and attacked Xia Yuan from every direction.

"Hadouken!"

"Blade Flash!"

"Absolute Fleetfoot!"

"Oppressive Palm Barrage!"

"Superman Martial Arts!"

They still could not figure out what Xia Yuan's defensive skill was.

But every defense had its limits!

As long as there were enough attacks—fast enough and dense enough—they would surely break through it!

If it had been an ordinary defensive ability, that would indeed have been true...

Bang bang bang bang...!

The barrage of close-range attacks rained down on Xia Yuan like a violent storm.

Yet before this absolute "Limitless Wall," their attacks became nothing more than fireworks against a backdrop—futile and ridiculous!

Whether they were the molecules making up fists, the metal crystals of blades, or the fluctuating particles of elemental energy, all of them fell into a complete state of "stagnation" within an infinitely small distance from Xia Yuan's skin, unable to advance any further!

"Interesting, interesting!"

"This is making me sweat all over. I'm really in quite a difficult position here..."

Xia Yuan lazily raised the right hand that had remained in his pocket the entire time.

Centered on him, an invisible and immensely concentrated repulsive force was precisely compressed into a fan-shaped shockwave, suddenly bursting outward like floodwaters breaking through a dam!

Every Contract Spirit that came close was instantly blasted away.

"Shinra Tensei!"

"It should be pretty similar..."

The more Xia Yuan fought, the more familiar he became with Satoru Gojo's abilities.

He was gradually mastering them, and he could now produce the effects he wanted!

Moreover, ever since breaking through level 50 and obtaining the Spirit Power Inscription Set, that feeling had become even stronger.

With the Satoru Gojo template in Contract Spirit form, bolstered by continuous leveling and the abilities drawn from the system, he could keep growing stronger and might even surpass the original Satoru Gojo!

The melee Contract Spirits were hurled into the air, transforming into colorful "meteors" that traced different arcs through the sky before crashing heavily onto the ground around the arena and against the protective barrier like scattered blossoms.

Some died, while others were injured.

Xia Yuan still had not moved a single step. Slowly spreading his arms, he smiled at the remaining Contract Spirits.

"Come again!"

"Keep it up!"

"Don't give up. You're just a little short of breaking my defense."

Unable to endure his mockery, the remaining Contract Spirits charged at him once more.

This time, Xia Yuan did not rely entirely on the Limitless Technique. Instead, he began knocking down his enemies with hand-to-hand combat.

Since he could not move his feet, he could only use the strength of his hands and waist.

Like a war god rooted in place, he smashed to death anyone who charged within range with a few punches!

A straight punch!

A horizontal chop!

A hand blade!

He cleanly dealt with the Contract Spirits before him.

The second raid team was effortlessly wiped out once again!

When they saw Xia Yuan standing still and beating the remaining Contract Spirits to death with nothing but his fists.

The Contract Spirits below the stage were filled with deep fear, all of them staring wide-eyed in shock!

Another tidal wave of exclamations erupted from the audience:

"Holy shit! He took out those level seventy and eighty Contract Spirits with his bare hands?"

"Hey, hey, this guy's skills are absurd, and his hand-to-hand combat is that strong too?! Is there anything he can't do?!"

"Is an SSR really supposed to be this ridiculously overpowered? This isn't noob-stomping anymore—it's a complete dimensionality crush!"

"God Yuan hasn't even gotten serious yet. He still hasn't used any of those devastating skills from his videos!"

"Did Mo Shiyu save the Milky Way in her previous life? How else could she have contracted such a powerful character from the card pool!"

"..."

Honestly.

Xia Yuan really wanted to try out the abilities of the Zanpakutō Thousand Cherry Blossoms, but there was simply no need to use it against these Contract Spirits.

He glanced at the system panel and suddenly discovered in surprise that his reward progress bar had actually moved?!

It had risen from 40% to 41%!

Wait, defeating Contract Spirits in arena battles could increase the reward bar too?

That delighted him immensely!

Xia Yuan looked at the Contract Spirits below the stage as though he had found a treasure trove. His eyes shone as he chuckled.

"Keep going, keep going! Don't stop!"

"Bring more this time. If ten isn't enough, then send twenty!"

"If twenty isn't enough, then send thirty!"

"I already told you to all come at once."

"Come on, abuse me!"

"Come on, hit me!"

The Contract Spirits shuddered. For some reason, they felt that the Xia Yuan BOSS on the stage was looking at them with a rather heated gaze.

The third raid team stepped onto the stage.

This time, just as Xia Yuan wished, the number of Contract Spirits increased to twenty!

Among the ten arenas, Xia Yuan's arena attracted the most attention, drawing nearly everyone's gaze.

Even the audience subconsciously regarded Xia Yuan as the villainous final BOSS and began sympathizing with the other Contract Spirits, wanting to cheer them on.

The battle began once again!

The Xia Yuan BOSS was raided for the third time!

This time, Xia Yuan did not wait for them to attack. In pursuit of efficiency, he made the first move.

"Cursed Technique Reversal."

"Minimum Output."

"Cursed Technique: Blue!"

Guiding the blue gravitational orb, Xia Yuan began clearing the field.

Wherever Blue passed, Contract Spirits collapsed and died one after another, returning to the Contract Spirit Space.

Twenty Contract Spirits were instantly killed the moment they appeared!

Xia Yuan cleared the field with a single skill.

For a moment, the entire venue was in uproar!

Even its minimum output had such power. Just how terrifying would its maximum output be?

Watching her SSR slaughter everyone on the stage, Mo Shiyu would have been lying if she said she was not happy. Inside, she was thrilled beyond measure.

Yet on the surface, she still maintained the elegant, unruffled image of the school beauty.

After all these rounds of battle, Xia Yuan had barely used much power.

Her spirit power still stood at 95%!

As long as no powerful enemy appeared later, even if he continued defending the arena through endless waves of challengers from beginning to end, it would not be a problem at all!

The fourth wave of raiders increased to thirty!

But there was no surprise in the result. Xia Yuan killed them all without moving a single step.

The fifth wave...

The sixth wave...

Xia Yuan was like a harvesting machine, reaping them wave after wave!

The system reward had reached 43%!

After dealing with the sixth wave.

Xia Yuan hooked a finger, and Mo Shiyu below the stage immediately tossed the water bottle in her hand up to him.

He twisted off the cap and tilted his head back, draining it in one gulp. Water ran over his bobbing Adam's apple, making countless girls scream!

After finishing the water, Xia Yuan let out a long breath. His sapphire-like pupils gazed quietly at the Contract Spirits below as he said lightly.

"Next wave."

The Contract Spirits who had once been proud and thought they could defeat Xia Yuan through a war of attrition now stared at him in fear, already considering retreat.

What kind of joke was this!

What sort of monster was he?!

A world-class bounty BOSS?

It was already the third wave, yet there was not the slightest sign of fatigue from that guy on the stage!

A war of attrition?

Even if every last one of them fought, they likely would not be able to drain Mo Shiyu's spirit power, because they were simply too weak!

Before Xia Yuan could no longer endure, they would be the ones to collapse first!

Seeing that there was no movement below the stage, Xia Yuan's delighted expression turned cold. He put his hands on his hips and sighed.

"You're already too scared to challenge me?"

"Fine!"

He gave a wicked smile and looked toward the other nine arenas, where fierce battles were raging. "Then I'll go find someone else to play with!"
