Lin Yan was utterly stunned by the figure in a long purple dress before him.
This woman was far too beautiful.
He had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life, and she had a great figure, too.
Still, as an ordinary man, he was only dazzled for a second before immediately withdrawing his gaze.
So what if she was beautiful?
Beauty could not put food on the table.
All he cared about now was money. Only money let him do whatever he pleased; a pretty face was not worth a penny.
Still, since this woman could produce a crystal ball capable of testing Titled Douluo-level Soul Power, she probably held quite a high position. He wondered who she was.
In Lin Yan's mind, someone of Bibi Dong's standing as Supreme Pontiff could not possibly come here herself. Normally, she would send subordinates instead. That was how a boss normally thought.
On what battlefield did you ever see the boss jump straight into the fray?
Wasn't it always the underlings who fought first, with the boss making the grand finale? That was what gave them presence.
So by normal logic, it was impossible for Lin Yan to guess that this was Bibi Dong.
After picking up the crystal ball, Lin Yan weighed it in his hand, then tossed it straight to the Frost Guard to have him test his Soul Power.
Meanwhile, Hu Liena, standing beside Bibi Dong, could not resist asking her curiously as she watched:
"Teacher, do you think this powerful man he summoned really only has rank 90 Soul Power?"
"How could that be?" Bibi Dong gave a wickedly alluring smile.
"From the aura he gives off alone, I can tell that his underlying strength is at least at the Super Douluo level.
"This owner is pulling the wool over everyone's eyes. He's having his Super Douluo subordinate pretend to be a rank 90 Titled Douluo to trick these people into placing orders."
"Huh?
"Wouldn't that give them a bargain?"
"Silly child, what comes next could be an act, too!" Bibi Dong looked at Hu Liena dotingly, with even more affection than she showed her own daughter.
"That must be the owner's scheme to trick others into ordering, because he definitely doesn't have this Demon King Guard package. No one understands gods better than I do!"
"You're the best, Teacher."
Hu Liena naturally thought so in her heart. She treated Bibi Dong's words as divine truth; whatever Bibi Dong said, she supported her unconditionally.
Bibi Dong had divine trials, so of course she had seen a god. She knew how powerful gods were. How could any being on the Douluo Continent possibly contend with them?
This owner was nothing but a fraud fishing for fame. She would expose him herself.
Wasn't he so certain that no one possessed a Soul Power crystal ball capable of testing a rank 90 Titled Douluo?
As it happened, only one place on the entire continent had such a thing: Spirit Hall. And she, the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall, happened to be here.
"Go ahead and test it, owner. Don't you dare?"
Bibi Dong looked at Lin Yan with absolute confidence.
"Heh, now you're getting carried away!"
"Number One, test it."
As he spoke, Lin Yan directly ordered Frost Guard Number One.
Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, Frost Guard Number One placed his hand on the crystal ball, which immediately shone with dazzling light.
His Soul Power shot straight up from rank 1 to rank 90, then stopped, advancing no further-rank 90.
"He really only has rank 90 Soul Power?
"Teacher, he really does only have rank 90 Soul Power!" Hu Liena reminded her from beside her.
How could this be?
His underlying strength clearly far exceeded that of an ordinary Titled Douluo, even reaching the Super Douluo level, yet his Soul Power cultivation really was only rank 90?
"You seem rather agitated, dear customer."
After the Soul Power test, Lin Yan did not return the crystal ball to her. Since he would need it for more tests later, he kept it in the shop for now.
"No more questions now, right?"
Everyone nodded. Now that it had been tested, what questions could they possibly have?
"Then let's begin."
Lin Yan snapped his fingers. The next instant, the entire Cultivation Room began to transform.
Their surroundings began to change as well.
Everyone was lifted upward. Before their astonished eyes, the Cultivation Room continuously reassembled itself, actually becoming an arena high in the sky.
Everyone found themselves in spectator seats, suspended above Suotuo City. The sight stunned them all.
And that was not the end of it. Soon, an invisible barrier appeared, enveloping the great arena in the center.
These top-tier experts frantically probed it, only to discover that they could not investigate it at all. All their spiritual power was blocked.
"Everyone, don't panic.
"This is our shop's arena mode. When battles take place here, even the shock waves from a fight between Limit Douluo-level experts won't affect anyone. You can watch with peace of mind.
"And you fighters can boldly unleash all your powerful Soul Skills to your hearts' content. Our shop can handle them all-even divine skills can be blocked."
Up in the sky, watching these people cry out in astonishment and look at him as though he were a god, Lin Yan secretly reveled in it.
Showing off like this felt incredible. He himself had only just learned that the Cultivation Room also had a beast-fighting arena mode.
This was the beast-fighting arena, but no one had said that humans could not use it.
If Titled Douluo-level experts fought directly inside Suotuo City, they would destroy the entire city. What the hell would he do then?
This arena was perfect. It could accommodate everyone, took up no land up in the sky, and could turn back into the Cultivation Room once the fight ended and lower everyone back down.
This move by Lin Yan stunned every top-tier expert. Even Qian Daoliu, hidden in the shadows, could not help feeling wary.
These were already the methods of a god. This shop was certainly no ordinary hall.
Once he returned, he would have to consult the Angel God and inquire about this hall, to see whether Lin Yan was a god from the heavens who had descended to amuse himself in the mortal world.
At this moment, Bone Douluo and Frost Guard Number One stood in the center of the arena.
"Then begin!"
At Lin Yan's command, the match officially began, and Bone Douluo's fighting spirit instantly surged.
He did not dare underestimate this Frost Guard before him, even if he was only rank 90. How could someone acknowledged by Lin Yan possibly be ordinary?
But he was a top-tier Beast Martial Soul master with the spatial attribute. He had also roamed the Soul Master World for many years and possessed abundant experience. He, too, could fight above his rank.
They were both geniuses; it would come down to who defied the heavens more. He, Bone Douluo, had never been inferior to anyone in his life.
The instant the match began, Bone Douluo unleashed his Bone Dragon Martial Soul. The phantom of a pitch-black bone dragon circled his body as Spatial Power poured forth continuously. Space throughout the arena twisted layer upon layer as Bone Douluo attacked with all his strength:
"Spatial Power, Bone Dragon Intimidation!"
The full pressure of a Super Douluo blanketed the area as he launched a furious assault on the Frost Guard.
Yet the Frost Guard stood unmoving at the sight. His expression was cold, and he merely spread his frost domain with an indifferent air.
The power of ultimate ice instantly sealed off the entire combat area. Beneath the frost domain, Bone Douluo's Spatial Power abruptly slowed.
The next instant, the Frost Guard's Ice Jade Scorpion martial soul erupted at full strength. Frost danced across the sky, seemingly capable of freezing everything.
And with the frost domain's enhancement, the Frost Guard moved as swiftly as a phantom, in no way slower than Bone Douluo using Spatial Power.
After the two collided, they became locked in combat, unleashing Soul Skills and every other means at their disposal. Every move was exceptionally fierce.
The spectators thoroughly enjoyed the sight. A Titled Douluo-level match was a rare thing to witness.
This fight alone was worth the price of admission-and they had not even paid!
What a thrill!
But while amateurs watched the spectacle, experts watched the finer points.
With the combined effects of his domain power and Soul Bone set, the Frost Guard ignored the suppression from the difference in Soul Power and handled Bone Douluo with ease, leaving everyone from Spirit Hall staring in astonishment.
Especially Bibi Dong. Fighting a rank 95 Super Douluo head-on at rank 90-this talent was even more outrageous than hers.
Yet someone like this merely served as a guard under Lin Yan, and was even the lowest-grade guard.
Was there any justice left in this world?
