Zhu Zhuqing, standing behind Lin Ye, was completely stunned.

Two Purple and One Black.

A Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.

Her eyes were fixed on the inky-black Third Spirit Ring beneath Lin Ye's feet, her face filled with shock.

This morning.

That big bastard had gone out for a while, then returned having risen from level twenty-eight to level thirty-seven.

She had already been shocked enough then.

But only now did she realize that the shock had only just begun.

Level thirty-seven was not the key.

The key was that, without her knowing, this bastard had secretly gone out to hunt a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and had successfully absorbed a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring!

A Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring!

Something normal Soul Masters were only qualified to touch at level fifty, yet he had absorbed one at level thirty?

Zhu Zhuqing opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, she could not get a word out.

She lowered her head and glanced at the two yellow Hundred-Year Spirit Rings beneath her feet.

Level twenty-eight.

Yellow, yellow.

Then she looked at Lin Ye.

Level thirty-seven.

Purple, purple, black.

The gap was so vast that it was suffocating.

How many more trump cards is this big bastard hiding...?

Across from them, Liu Qing's short blade was already trembling slightly.

His Adam's apple bobbed twice, and his voice shook.

"Second Brother... should we still fight?"

"He has a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring!"

Yu Tieshan's expression was equally grim.

But he was, after all, a level thirty-nine Soul Elder who had fought in plenty of matches. His mental fortitude was far stronger than Liu Qing's.

After taking a deep breath, Yu Tieshan lowered his voice.

"Third Brother, don't panic."

"Think carefully. Have you ever seen a Soul Master whose first two Spirit Rings were Thousand-Year Quality?"

Liu Qing froze for a moment.

"And what Soul Master has a Ten-Thousand-Year third Spirit Ring?"

Yu Tieshan locked his gaze onto Lin Ye again, and his voice gradually steadied.

"Not even Spirit Hall has a genius like that."

"So this is most likely just a bluff!"

After hearing that, the fear on Liu Qing's face quickly faded, replaced by a trace of irritation.

"That's right! It has to be a bluff!"

"Damn it, I almost got scared off just now!"

The two encouraged each other and assumed their fighting stances once more.

At the same time, Lin Ye turned to glance at Zhu Zhuqing.

"Big kitty, their levels are quite a bit higher than those two from this afternoon."

"You have no advantage head-on. I'll hold the front while you take the flank."

Zhu Zhuqing pulled her shocked gaze back and nodded firmly.

"Okay."

She gave only that brief reply, without the slightest hesitation.

That was their tacit understanding.

"Both sides are ready! The match—begin!"

The referee gave the order.

"Liu Qing! You and I will take down that three-ringed Soul Elder first!"

Yu Tieshan roared.

"We'll deal with that little girl afterward!"

The two moved at the same time.

Yu Tieshan took the lead, fully activating his Scarlet Rock Giant Ape Spirit. His arms swelled dramatically as he threw a punch at Lin Ye's face.

"First Spirit Skill, Ape-Force Cracking Fist!"

His fist was wrapped in a layer of crimson rock armor, tearing the air with a muffled boom.

Liu Qing circled to the side, gliding low along the ground like a snake. His short blade was wrapped in a layer of wind blades.

"First Spirit Skill, Serpentine Wind Slash!"

One from the front and one from the rear, one head-on and one from the side.

The two attacks arrived almost simultaneously.

Yet Lin Ye showed not the slightest fear.

"Second Soul Skill, Evil God Guard!"

Buzz!

Purple lightning and black evil energy instantly condensed before Lin Ye into a semicircular barrier.

Boom!

At that moment, Yu Tieshan's Ape-Force Cracking Fist smashed head-on into Lin Ye's barrier.

The crimson rock armor immediately shattered, and the skin of his fist was scorched black by the lightning.

"What?"

Yu Tieshan's pupils shrank sharply.

He was a level thirty-nine Soul Elder. His full-force strike had not even broken through the other side's defense?

Almost at the same instant, Liu Qing's wind slash struck the side of the barrier as well.

Clang!

The wind blade seemed to hit an iron wall. Sparks flew as it was sent ricocheting back.

Liu Qing staggered back two steps from the backlash of his own attack.

"Fuck, this defense is actually this strong!"

But Lin Ye gave neither of them time to think.

The instant Evil God Guard dissipated, Lin Ye had already rushed forward.

"First Spirit Skill, Evil God Thirteen Slashes!"

The first slash came cleaving straight at Yu Tieshan.

Yu Tieshan swiftly crossed his arms to block it, and a web of cracks instantly exploded across his Scarlet Rock Ape Armor.

"Hiss—!"

Yu Tieshan sucked in a cold breath, his arms going slightly numb.

The second followed immediately after.

Yu Tieshan was forced back a step.

The third.

Another step back.

"Damn it!" Yu Tieshan roared.

"Liu Qing! Stop standing there! Attack him from behind!"

"Got it!"

Liu Qing gritted his teeth and charged forward, slashing his short blade toward the back of Lin Ye's neck.

"Second Soul Skill, Venomous Serpent Garrote!"

Liu Qing's arms transformed into two green snake phantoms that coiled and constricted, attacking from three different angles alongside his blade.

However—

At that moment, a black afterimage suddenly appeared!

It was Zhu Zhuqing.

"First Spirit Skill, Netherworld Thrust!"

Before Liu Qing could react,

A sharp claw had already torn precisely across the wrist holding his blade.

"Ah—!"

The short blade flew from his hand.

Liu Qing screamed as he staggered back, three bloody claw marks clearly visible on his wrist.

"Damn it! I forgot about the little girl!"

"Hmph, is that all you've got?"

Lin Ye's cold voice came from the front.

"What's this supposed to be? The real battle has only just begun!"

As he spoke, Lin Ye's fourth slash had already crashed forward.

Boom!

The entire left arm of Yu Tieshan's ape armor instantly shattered.

Then came the fifth!

As the slash fell,

Yu Tieshan's body was blasted into the air by its tremendous force.

He spun once in midair before crashing down onto the stone floor.

The spectators in the stands had already gone wild.

"One against two? He's actually fighting one against two!"

"And he's still overwhelming them!"

"What kind of monster is that? Two three-ringed opponents are ganging up on him, yet they're being suppressed?"

In a corner, Yu Tianheng clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

His breathing had become ragged.

Those Spirit Skills were not bluffs.

The power of those Spirit Skills was clearly Thousand-Year Quality or even higher.

Two Purple and One Black... it was real!

Yu Tieshan then climbed to his feet, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

His heart was now filled with fear.

If he did not go all out, defeat was inevitable!

"Third Spirit Skill!"

"Scarlet Rock Giant Ape Transformation!"

The purple Spirit Ring beneath Yu Tieshan's feet slowly lit up.

At the same time, Yu Tieshan's body swelled by a full size. Crimson fur burst forth across his body, and his face twisted into the savage visage of an ape.

This Third Spirit Skill was his trump card.

Once activated, both his offense and defense doubled.

"Brat! I'm going all out against you!"

Yu Tieshan slammed both fists into the ground. The floor exploded beneath him as he shot forward like a cannonball.

At the same time, Liu Qing at the side went all in as well.

"Third Spirit Skill, Serpent Venom Mist!"

A cloud of dark green poisonous mist instantly erupted from Liu Qing's body, rapidly covering an area nearly ten meters wide.
