Good evening, everyone!
On the Soul Fighting Arena stage of Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena, the host held Amplifying Soul Tool and spoke loudly.
"Next up is a highly anticipated Silver Soul Fighter level duel! One of them is a familiar face— Yu Feiyang from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!" The host's voice was filled with excitement. "Just last month, he achieved a thunderous 23-game winning streak, winning the Silver Soul Badge in one fell swoop. His strength is formidable!"
slap slap slap--
Thunderous applause and cheers erupted from the audience, with countless people standing up, waving their arms, their faces filled with fervor.
" Berserk Dragon God! Berserk Dragon God! Berserk Dragon God!"
The resounding, uniform slogans were deafening; this was Yu Feiyang's nickname, and also a symbol of his strength.
"A great start! A great start! A great start!"
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and many viewers believe that Yu Feiyang's first Soul Fighting will surely be a resounding success, a triumphant start.
That's right, Lin Kong deliberately chose to come to the Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena on the first day of the lunar new year.
Yu Feiyang had just received the Silver Soul Badge, and this was his first Silver Soul Fighter level duel, making it exceptionally significant.
"His opponent is..." The host paused deliberately, building suspense, and then, amidst the anticipation of the audience, announced loudly, " The Silver Soul Badge holder from Suotuo City — Black Prison Asura!"
There was a moment of silence, followed by a chorus of boos!
"From out of town?"
"What Black Prison Asura? I've never even heard of it!"
"What trash dares to challenge Yu Feiyang?"
The audience's emotions were stirred up, and they felt a strong sense of rejection towards this unfamiliar, out-of-town Soul Master.
The host, clearly understanding the audience's psychology, continued, following their lead. "This Black Prison Asura achieved a terrifying undefeated record in the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena, defeating all opponents and becoming an invincible existence at the Soul Grandmaster level! Therefore, he came to Heaven Dou City, to our metropolis teeming with Soul Master, solely to seek an even more powerful enemy!"
He paused, then shouted in a highly inflammatory tone, "His famous saying is—'The invincible path begins in Heaven Dou City!'"
Wow!
"This guy is way too arrogant!"
"You arrogant out-of-towner, how dare you be so cocky in Heaven Dou City?"
"The path to invincibility? I think his path to invincibility will end here in the very first round!"
These words were like a bomb going off, causing the entire venue to erupt in chaos. A cacophony of insults and mockery filled the air, and everyone was filled with hostility towards this arrogant " Black Prison Asura."
At the entrance on one side of the Soul Fighting Arena, Lin Kong slowly raised his head, his face under the hood filled with astonishment, his mouth even slightly agape.
He roared inwardly, "Dude, can you stop exaggerating about me like that?"
This is outrageous! When did he ever say he was going to follow some kind of "invincible path"?
Being publicly lauded and thrust into the spotlight is... incredibly embarrassing!
What he didn't know was that the Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena always went to great lengths to create an atmosphere. Especially this duel, one side was a disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, who brought his own traffic and popularity; the other side was a mysterious powerhouse from Suotuo City with a forty-game undefeated record, which was full of topics in itself.
The more exciting, the better; the more sensational, the more hype!
For the Great Soul Arena, this is professionalism. Since Lin Kong was given special privileges, the Great Soul Arena naturally wanted to find ways to gain benefits.
The host, seeing the atmosphere completely ignited, smiled with satisfaction, raised his Amplifying Soul Tool, and announced loudly, "Now, let's welcome our two powerful figures to the stage!"
Cheers and boos mingled together, echoing throughout the entire Great Soul Arena, bringing the atmosphere to its peak.
Lin Kong took a deep breath, suppressing his helplessness, straightened his black cloak, and strode towards the Soul Fighting Arena. Since he had been put in this position, he could only use his strength to prove that he was worthy of such exaggerated praise.
Lin Kong and Yu Feiyang stood facing each other in the center of the Soul Fighting Arena.
"Both sides, get ready!" The referee's voice was steady and powerful.
Yu Feiyang tilted his head, looked Lin Kong up and down, a disdainful smile playing on his lips, and asked with a sneer, "You, specifically chose me?"
He learned from the staff of the Great Soul Arena that the guy in front of him, called " Black Prison Asura," was not a randomly matched opponent, but Soul Master who had specifically requested to challenge the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul. He happened to meet the requirements, and it happened to be his first Soul Fighting of the first year of junior high school, so he agreed without hesitation.
He wanted to see just who was so arrogant as to dare to so blatantly disregard the authority of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
"Yes," Lin Kong replied truthfully, pulling his hood back.
"Oh!" Yu Feiyang drawled, nodding slowly. Then, he suddenly raised one hand and pointed it twice at Lin Kong, his eyes full of provocation and arrogance. "Very good, very good! In a moment, I'll beat you to the ground, begging for mercy!"
"Oh!!!"
A deafening roar of cheers erupted from the stands as Yu Feiyang's fans excitedly waved their arms, shouting encouragement for their idol.
Clearly, Yu Feiyang had already figured out the audience's psychology and knew how to ignite the fans' enthusiasm with the most flamboyant attitude. For him, participating in the Soul Fighting was no longer just a pure battle, but more like a performance, a performance that needed to please the audience.
This is perfectly normal. When someone gets used to their every move triggering cheers and adulation from hundreds or thousands of people, it's hard not to be influenced by this extreme adulation and become increasingly flamboyant.
Faced with Yu Feiyang's provocation, Lin Kong remained silent and made no response.
His silent demeanor, in the eyes of the audience, appeared both aloof and undisguised arrogance and swagger—as if Yu Feiyang's provocation was utterly insignificant in his eyes.
" Yu Feiyang, Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Level 28, Power Attack System Battle Soul Master." Yu Feiyang proactively revealed his information, both as a courtesy before the Soul Fighting and as a way to force Lin Kong to reveal his own information as well.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
The Soul Fighting was silent. Lin Kong remained unresponsive, as if he hadn't heard him at all.
Yu Feiyang's face darkened, his anger ignited, and he took a step forward, pointing at Lin Kong, roaring, "Boy, I'll cripple you!"
Lin Kong: "..."
He felt helpless; it wasn't that he didn't want to respond, but now was simply not the time to reveal his rank.
His Silver Soul Badge still recorded his Soul Power Level as level 21, but in just one month, his Soul Power had already broken through to level 25. If this terrifying speed of level improvement were exposed, it would be enough to make the entire Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena green with envy, and might even attract unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, Lin Kong chose to remain silent.
Out of respect for the holder of the Silver Soul Badge, and because it was Lin Kong's first time participating in Soul Fighting, no one proactively suggested "testing his Soul Power Level " at the Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena.
At this moment, Lin Kong's silence was seen by everyone as extreme arrogance and conceit, a blatant disregard for Yu Feiyang.
The host, keenly aware of this moment, immediately grabbed his Amplifying Soul Tool and shouted, "Wow! Wow! Wow!"
"Did you all see that? Black Prison Asura actually looked down on our Berserk Dragon God Yu Feiyang! He didn't even offer a greeting when Yu Feiyang introduced himself! This disregard, this contempt, is simply too hurtful to one's self-esteem!"
Yu Feiyang was initially just a little annoyed, but after the host's instigation, he felt his self-esteem being trampled underfoot. His face visibly turned red, and the anger in his eyes was almost bursting out.
The next second, the audience erupted!
"Damn it! Get down here!"
"These barbarians from Suotuo City dare to run wild in Heaven Dou City?"
"Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!"
Curses, shouts, and curses mingled together, surging towards Lin Kong in the center of the Soul Fighting Arena, almost engulfing him.
Yu Feiyang: " Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, Possess!"
" Dark Blue Silver Grass..."
