Demon Ape Fist

"I'm guessing four rounds!"

Xiao Xiafeng was the first of the four to speak.

"Why?"

Chen Fei, standing beside him, asked with a snicker.

"No matter what, he's the dean's disciple. The boss will still let him finish using all four soul skills."

"Hahaha~~!"

After that, Xiao Xiafeng and the other three across from them could not help bursting into laughter.

This left Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen utterly indignant.

"Damn it, Xiao Fan, beat Ma Rulong to death for me!"

Meng Hongchen could not help shouting at Ye Fan in the arena.

Hearing this, Ye Fan gave the two of them a slight nod.

Then, he turned his attention back to the arena.

By the rules, both sides had to introduce themselves first.

With his nostrils pointed skyward and his eyes looking down at Ye Fan in contempt, Ma Rulong said, "I am Ma Rulong. Martial Soul: Big-Headed Spirit Ape. Level 63 assault-type battle Soul Emperor and a Level-Six Soul Engineer."

Ye Fan ignored Ma Rulong's arrogance and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I am Ye Fan. Martial Soul: Death Angel. Level 48 assault-type Soul Ancestor!"

As he spoke, Ye Fan and Ma Rulong released their Martial Souls simultaneously.

The Big-Headed Spirit Ape Martial Soul appeared behind Ma Rulong. Ye Fan could clearly see six Soul Rings floating above it—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, and black—the optimal configuration.

As for Ye Fan, in order to avoid exposing his true strength, he forcibly altered his Soul Ring configuration to purple, purple, black, and black.

Even so, Ye Fan's Soul Ring configuration still startled Xiao Xiafeng and the others by the side of the arena. "What kind of Soul Ring configuration is that? That's completely unscientific."

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, on the other hand, knew Ye Fan's true capabilities. The two exchanged a glance and silently cursed, That little fox is trying to trick someone again.

Jing Hongchen felt the same way when he saw this.

As for Ma Rulong, when he saw Ye Fan's extraordinary Soul Ring configuration,

he was initially stunned, but he quickly regained his composure. "His initial Soul Rings are just a little stronger, that's all."

"I'm a six-ringed Soul Engineer."

"How could I be frightened by some little brat who hasn't even grown all his hair yet?"

At the same time, Ye Fan had already released his Death Angel Martial Soul. Flapping his Angel Wings, he flew into the air and widened the distance between himself and Ma Rulong.

At this, Ma Rulong curled his lips slightly. "First Soul Skill: Spirit Ape Soul Power Amplification."

Immediately afterward, Ye Fan saw several metal Soul Tool cannons appear over Ma Rulong's shoulders.

Before Ye Fan could react, the metal Soul Tool cannons had already unleashed a barrage of shells, enhanced by Ma Rulong's Soul Power.

Ye Fan could only rely on the Angel Martial Soul's incredible speed to keep moving and evade Ma Rulong's attacks.

After witnessing the astonishing speed of Ye Fan's Martial Soul, Ma Rulong roughly understood. So fast.

"Then let me see how you deal with my next move."

"Second Soul Skill: Giant Skull Overlord Body!"

"Third Soul Skill: Spiritual Power Eruption!"

Several more metal Soul Tool cannons appeared over Ma Rulong's shoulders. This time, Ye Fan sensed the Soul Power fluctuations coming from them.

"Expanding the range of fire coverage? Interesting."

Ye Fan could tell that Ma Rulong's Soul Skills were all enhancements for himself or his Soul Tools.

Most of his offensive power came from Soul Tools.

Therefore, Ye Fan had no intention of wasting more time probing him.

Ye Fan lit up his first Soul Ring. "First Soul Skill—Death Devouring: devours all attacks with energy no greater than 200% of my own, lasting five seconds."

Then, layer upon layer of profoundly mysterious patterns condensed around the Death Angel Martial Soul, swallowing all of Ma Rulong's artillery fire.

When Xiao Xiafeng and the others saw Ye Fan take Ma Rulong's Soul Tool cannon barrage head-on, they all thought, The boss has this in the bag.

"This Ye Fan really is an idiot. He actually used the cultivation of a Soul Ancestor to withstand the boss's Soul Emperor-level assault. He really doesn't know the difference between life and death."

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were equally worried. "Xiao Fan!"

As the referee, Jing Hongchen had also been deeply concerned at first. But when he saw Ye Fan withstand Ma Rulong's attack without suffering any harm, the weight in his heart finally lifted.

Just when everyone thought the battle was already over,

Ye Fan, relying on the Angel's speed and his first Soul Skill, Death Devouring,

had already arrived before Ma Rulong.

Xiao Xiafeng and the others looked as though they had seen a ghost. "Impossible! He's only a Soul Ancestor. How could he withstand Soul Emperor-level artillery fire?"

"Cheating! He must be cheating!~"

Xiao Xiafeng and the others continued yapping furiously.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Ye Fan was only a four-ringed Soul Ancestor. He could not even use an ordinary Level-Five Invincible Shield, which meant he had relied purely on his Soul Skill to withstand Ma Rulong's attack. "This is unbelievable."

Ma Rulong was equally shocked, his face as dark as pig liver.

Ye Fan gave this Soul Emperor no chance to react.

"Second Soul Skill: Demon Ape Fist!"

This was Ye Fan's all-out strike, formed by condensing the power of the Death Angel and combining it with the characteristics of the Dark Demon Ape.

Dark Soul Power suddenly surged. Carrying a gale that tore through the air, Ye Fan's right fist explosively gathered extreme power!

Fused with the dark power of the Death Angel and the berserk traits of the Dark Demon Ape, this Demon Ape Fist possessed overwhelming might. The surrounding air was instantly compressed and torn apart. Howling winds exploded, airflow twisted and shook, and fine dust filled the sky. Black fist energy, sharp and tyrannical, carried a terrifying pressure that seemed capable of crushing everything as it smashed straight toward Ma Rulong.

Ma Rulong's pupils constricted sharply, and his heart trembled. He did not dare underestimate this Soul Ancestor's attack in the slightest.

Without any hesitation, he instantly activated his trump card. A crystalline Level-Five Invincible Shield activated at once, and a golden barrier abruptly spread out, firmly enveloping his entire body and blocking all attacks.

Feeling the shield's solid defensive power, Ma Rulong laughed wildly. "It's useless, Ye Fan! You're just a mere Soul Ancestor! No matter how strange your Soul Skills are, you can't break my invincible defense. In the end, you're nothing more than a living target!"

Using the collision of the fist wind as a buffer, Ma Rulong rapidly retreated, intending to widen the fighting distance again.

Ye Fan frowned slightly, silently regretting that he had overlooked his opponent's trump card. Yet he was not panicked in the slightest, and the fighting spirit in his eyes surged.

"Then let's see whether your shield is tougher, or my fist is tougher!"

In an instant, black light exploded from Ye Fan's right fist. The power of his Hundred Thousand Year right fist Soul Bone fully awakened, and a terrifying pressure swept across the arena.

Xiao Xiafeng and the others by the side of the arena all changed expressions, their hearts trembling.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were likewise secretly shocked.

When Jing Hongchen saw the object on Ye Fan's right fist, he immediately understood. "A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone." Good heavens, Xiao Fan has so many treasures that even I'm tempted.

Before anyone could recover, Ye Fan shouted sternly and activated his Soul Bone's ultimate techniques in succession!

Ye Fan shouted, "Soul Bone Skill—First Fist Force Strike!"

"Soul Bone Skill—Second Fist Force Strike!"

Using the Dark Demon Ape Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone in conjunction with his second Soul Skill, Demon Ape Fist, Ye Fan unleashed two lethal strikes.

The two layers of fist force erupted together, and berserk power crashed down upon the golden shield. A piercing sound of shattering suddenly rang out.

With a crisp "Creak—," the seemingly indestructible Level-Five Invincible Shield was instantly covered in cracks before shattering apart!

Just as everyone in the arena believed Ye Fan had already won,

Ye Fan saw Ma Rulong grit his teeth and activate another Invincible Shield.

This Invincible Shield had even stronger defenses than the Level-Five Invincible Shield from before.

Demon Ape Fist shattered the Level-Five Invincible Shield, but it failed to achieve anything against this Invincible Shield.

"A Level-Six Invincible Shield."

In an instant, Ye Fan roughly guessed Ma Rulong's response.

He was using a Level-Six Invincible Shield capable of blocking a full-force strike from anyone below the rank of Titled Douluo.

After this exchange, more than half of Ye Fan's Soul Power had been consumed, and he no longer had the strength to use the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone Skill again.

After using up two Invincible Shields, Ma Rulong's expression was also grim.

He began taking Ye Fan seriously. "Ye Fan, I admit that you're strong!"

"But as I said, for the academy's honor, I will not give up."

As he spoke, Ma Rulong activated his Soul Power again and widened the distance between them.

At the same time, he continuously lit up his remaining Soul Rings and released all his Soul Skills, intending to settle the match with Ye Fan once and for all.
