The sudden silence lasted for a full three breaths.
Then, the audience erupted.
"What just happened?! I didn't even see it clearly!"
"One move?! Just one move?! He didn't even activate his Spirit Rings?!"
"What the hell is that Sky-Piercing Spear? How could it possess such terrifying power?!"
"Didn't Liu Meng have a five-win streak? He was way too weak!"
"It's not that Liu Meng was too weak—it's that Ye Han was too strong!"
The spectators buzzed with discussion, their voices filling the arena.
Liu Meng's face flushed crimson. He struggled to get up, only to collapse back down.
That strike had not hit him head-on, but the immense force had sent him crashing hard into the railing. His blood and vital energy churned in his chest; he had clearly suffered serious internal injuries.
Only then did the host come to his senses and loudly announce:
"This Soul Battle is over! The winner is—Ye Han, Battle Soul Ancestor! Record: one win, zero losses!"
"Liu Meng, Battle Soul Ancestor, has had his winning streak ended! Record: five wins, one loss!"
The audience grew restless.
No one had seen enough.
Ye Han had already put away his Martial Soul and was about to leave when the host suddenly asked:
"Ye Han, Battle Soul Ancestor, you'll continue competing in our Soul Arena, won't you?"
"Of course. I already said it—today is the beginning of my winning streak. I will create an undefeated legend for the Sky-Piercing Spear in this Soul Arena."
The moment Ye Han finished speaking, cries of astonishment erupted from the stands.
After witnessing Ye Han's strength, no one thought he was bragging.
The host smiled.
"I have hosted no fewer than several thousand Soul Battles at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, yet this is the first time I have seen a Soul Master defeat an opponent of the same level in a single move without even revealing a Spirit Ring. Let us remember the name of this Battle Soul Ancestor—Ye Han! And let us remember his Martial Soul—the Sky-Piercing Spear! Can Ye Han, Battle Soul Ancestor, fulfill his grand ambition? Let us wait and see!"
The host had never seen anything like this either. Clearly stunned, he spoke a few extra words.
A young genius like Ye Han would quickly become a star of the Soul Arena if he could keep his winning streak going.
Under the gazes of thousands, Ye Han slowly stepped down from the platform and entered the Soul Master passageway.
Liu Meng climbed up from the edge of the platform and watched Ye Han's disappearing figure, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Fuck, I really became his backdrop—the starting point of his winning streak!
He might keep winning, and people will only remember that I, Liu Meng, was the first one to lose to him!
Should I feel humiliated, or honored, just as he said?
After all, people will remember my name, Liu Meng, because of him too...
~~~~~~
Ye Han went to the front desk to collect his points and rewards.
Demon Subduing Douluo collected his winnings as well.
The two left the Soul Arena.
Demon Subduing Douluo was in an excellent mood.
"You brat are really something! That Sky-Piercing Spear is incredible too! Those six thousand Gold Soul Coins were earned way too easily, haha~~~"
"It won't be so easy starting tomorrow. The odds on my victory will definitely be much lower."
"Even if they are, I'll still bet on you to win. It's guaranteed profit—it's only a matter of earning more or less! Hehe~~~"
Qian Renxue also left the Soul Arena.
She had mainly come to see Ye Han. The remaining matches meant nothing to her.
Having seen Ye Han in person and witnessed his strength, Qian Renxue was in high spirits as well.
"Young Mistress, that Ye Han is truly remarkable! It is fortunate that he belongs to our Spirit Hall."
The speaker was a thin, lanky old man, one of Spirit Hall's elders—Snake Lance Douluo, She Long.
His Martial Soul was the mutated Azure-Purple Serpent Spear, possessing traits of both weapon-type and beast-type Martial Souls.
Qian Renxue smiled and nodded.
"Uncle She, Ye Han's Sky-Piercing Spear and your Azure-Purple Serpent Spear share certain similarities. What do you think of the Sky-Piercing Spear?"
"The Sky-Piercing Spear Martial Soul is something I have heard of for the first time as well, so I do not understand it. However, in Ye Han's hands, it already displays the might of a top-tier weapon Martial Soul. It may not be inferior to my Azure-Purple Serpent Spear. Besides, he defeated his opponent with just one move. I did not even have time to see it clearly, so I cannot make any rash judgments."
"That is true. Then let us watch a few more matches."
Qian Renxue had not had her fill today either.
That Black Panther Soul Master had been so easily defeated partly because he had underestimated his opponent.
Qian Renxue wanted to see what kind of strength Ye Han could display when his opponents were prepared.
~~~~~
Over the following period, Ye Han continued competing at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.
Starting from his second Soul Battle, his matches were arranged in the First Sub-Arena.
The First Sub-Arena was the largest, most popular, and most expensive of all the sub-arenas, second only to the Central Main Soul Arena.
Ye Han's winning streak continued, and his reputation grew greater by the day.
Without exception, he never revealed his Spirit Rings.
With nothing but the Sky-Piercing Spear, he easily crushed every opponent.
More and more people learned Ye Han's name and came to know the Sky-Piercing Spear.
Some even began calling him the "Sky-Piercing Spear God."
Ye Han maintained an undefeated record at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena and had already achieved ten consecutive victories.
The various Soul Master Academies in Heaven Dou City would organize students to train through Soul Battles at the arenas.
News quickly spread to Heaven Dou Royal, Shrek, and other high-level Soul Master Academies.
Shrek Academy.
That day, Tang San and Xiao Wu were walking along one of the academy paths when they heard the students discussing something.
"Have you heard about him? That Sky-Piercing Spear God, Ye Han."
"I have. That guy is amazing! He has already achieved ten consecutive victories at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena. Ten wins in a row are nothing special—other Soul Masters have done it too. What is insane is that he has never released his Spirit Rings."
"Yeah. I heard he is not even sixteen yet, but he is already a four-ring Soul Ancestor. That talent is even more terrifying than Boss Dai of our academy's Shrek Seven Monsters!"
"Hey, keep your voice down..."
When the few of them saw Tang San and Xiao Wu, they hurried away.
Yet the two had heard their conversation perfectly clearly.
Xiao Wu asked:
"Brother, do you know about the Sky-Piercing Spear Martial Soul?"
"No. I have never heard of it."
Tang San's face remained expressionless, but waves had already risen within his heart.
Sky-Piercing Spear God?
Defeating opponents of the same level without revealing Spirit Rings?
If the rumors are true, then that Ye Han really does possess some ability.
What rank of weapon Martial Soul is the Sky-Piercing Spear? How does it compare to the Clear Sky Hammer?
"Brother, the dean and the others may be back soon. Grandmaster should know about the Sky-Piercing Spear Martial Soul."
"Mm. We can ask him after Teacher returns."
Tang San had only recently left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. After returning, he had given everyone the immortal herbs.
After Dai Mubai consumed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, his Soul Power broke through level forty.
After Yu Xiaogang ate the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, his Soul Power broke through level thirty.
The two of them, along with Flender and Liu Erlong, had gone to the Sunset Forest near Heaven Dou City to hunt Spirit Beasts. They had been gone for several days.
Later that afternoon, the group of four returned to the academy.
Tang San told Yu Xiaogang what he had heard about Ye Han and the Sky-Piercing Spear.
As Yu Xiaogang listened, his brows gradually furrowed.
The Sky-Piercing Spear... what the hell is that?!
