The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament is a competition in which each academy sends reserve members to participate.
But those reserve team members from smaller academies were just there to watch the fun; with their abilities, they had absolutely no chance of getting a chance to play.
However, in academies like Shrek Academy, even when facing relatively weak opponents, reserve players can still get some experience on the field.
Everyone knows that reserve players are likely to participate in the next competition, so their age must be under fifteen.
As the captain of the reserve team of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Kong Xuan was naturally no exception.
This Soul King, who is no more than fifteen years old, is something that has never been heard of before by everyone!
Moreover, his Soul Ring Configuration was beyond everyone's comprehension.
The audience fell silent; they were all too shocked to speak.
In the rest area, Bei Bei looked at Kong Xuan on the arena and murmured, "He really is Soul King now."
As the great-grandson of the Sea God Pavilion Master of the Shrek Academy, Bei Bei can be said to have grown up amidst a chorus of praise.
He has always believed that his talent deserves these praises.
But after meeting Kong Xuan, he suddenly felt unworthy of the praise he had once received.
So-called geniuses are all a joke in front of Kong Xuan.
Xuan Zi stared intently at Kong Xuan. He had once said that Kong Xuan could not possibly be Soul King, but now he was being proven wrong.
Fortunately, no one mentioned that matter in front of him at that moment.
However, he didn't care at all. At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind, which was to definitely bring Kong Xuan to the Shrek Academy!
Which other academy besides Shrek Academy could possibly nurture such a genius?
Of course not!
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy is nothing! A bunch of people researching lumps of iron—wouldn't it be a waste for them to teach such a genius?
After a brief period of excitement, Xuan Zi calmed down.
If we can't bring Kong Xuan to the Shrek Academy for training...
Then we absolutely must not let him grow up!
Xuan Zi hardened his heart. Although it was against morality to attack a young boy, and it would not look good to bully the weak, Xuanzi was determined to do so.
But for the sake of the Shrek Academy, and for the sake of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, he had to do it!
Even if it means incurring public criticism, he's willing to do it!
On the imperial city wall, Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire, having just regained his composure, took a deep breath and asked, " Jiujiu, how are the preparations for the auction going?"
The princess Xu Jiujiu to look away from the arena, her eyes still filled with a faint sense of shock.
As a genius, she could better understand how terrifying Kong Xuan was; he was someone she could never catch up to no matter how hard she tried.
She then replied, "Everything is ready!"
Xu Jiawei nodded, seemingly relieved, and sighed, "I never expected the Sun Moon Empire to produce such a genius!"
His expression gradually turned ruthless. "It seems that the plan must be carried out. I hope the Sun Moon Empire will like this great gift I've given them."
On the arena, Tang Xiaolei was indeed shocked by Kong Xuan's Soul Ring configuration, but he quickly recovered.
He gripped the bow tighter, his gaze towards Kong Xuan filled with solemnity.
He knew he probably wouldn't win this match, but he didn't lose his fighting spirit.
He needed to probe out Kong Xuan's Soul Skill as much as possible for his teammates, and he needed to deplete as much of Kong Xuan's Soul Power as possible.
Tang Xiaolei released his right hand, and the long arrow that was already on the bowstring shot out, heading straight for Kong Xuan.
At the same moment the arrow was fired, Tang Xiaolei's first Yellow Soul Ring also disappeared.
This is the characteristic of his Martial Soul Purple Splendor Bow; each arrow consumes the power of one Soul Ring.
Such a special Soul Skill naturally brings extraordinary power.
However, Tang Xiaolei, who is currently only Five-Ring Soul King, can only shoot five arrows in total.
The arrow was so fast that Kong Xuan didn't even have time to react.
At least that's how it appears to many people.
Tang Xiaolei's arrow had already reached Kong Xuan, but Kong Xuan still did not make a move.
Tang Xiaolei, who hadn't expected to win, felt a glimmer of hope. He watched as his first arrow easily pierced Kong Xuan's body and struck the protective shield at the edge of the arena.
It hit the target?!
Many people had this question in their minds, but Tang Xiaolei, who was closest to Kong Xuan on the stage, was the first to notice something was wrong.
His first arrow did indeed pierce through Kong Xuan, but it did not cause him any harm, just as the arrow he had just shot at was merely an illusion.
Unconvinced, Tang Xiaolei drew his bow again and this time fired two arrows in quick succession.
But the result... was no different from before.
Kong Xuan remained standing still; the two arrows passed right through him, but did not cause him any harm.
At this moment, the crowd below the arena understood that Kong Xuan was not injured at all, and he had dodged Tang Xiaolei's attack by some unknown method.
Everyone began to speculate about what methods Kong Xuan had used.
Wang Yan recalled the scene from just now and murmured, " The Soul Ring didn't light up, which means it's not Soul Skill. Could it be Soul Bone Skill?"
He turned to the side and asked, " Xuan Zi, have you figured anything out?"
Xuan Zi picked up his wine gourd and took a swig, but his eyes remained fixed on the arena.
"This kid is a genius! At such a young age, he's already so skilled in using spatial techniques—something many Super Douluo can't do!"
Although Xuan Zi has character flaws, his Level 98 strength speaks for itself, and he still has some insight.
Kong Xuan's "Clear and Serene Spear Intent" can indeed be considered a spatial attribute ability.
After unleashing the Clear and Serene Spear Intent, not only were Kong Xuan's attacks unpredictable, but he himself was also difficult for enemies to lock onto, and he could even hide in spatial crevices.
Facing Tang Xiaolei, a ranged archer-type Soul Master, alone, Kong Xuan could be said to be his natural counter.
In the blink of an eye, Tang Xiaolei had already fired four arrows, but they still hadn't caused any damage to Kong Xuan.
Kong Xuan remained standing still, seemingly without moving an inch.
This really broke Tang Xiaolei's composure. They were both Soul King, but the difference between them was like heaven and earth, which he found hard to accept.
He drew his bow again, and this next arrow was Tang Xiaolei's strongest shot, but also his last.
"If you're so capable, then don't hide!"
Tang Xiaolei shouted, but it sounded more like a helpless rage.
A golden light flashed in Kong Xuan's eyes, and this time he truly did not unleash the Clear and Serene Spear Intent again.
Since it's a head-to-head competition, there's really no point in hiding.
He admitted that Tang Xiaolei's simple provocation... had worked!
Faced with Tang Xiaolei's strongest arrow, Kong Xuan finally made a move.
He neither dodged nor swung the Atlas Spear in his right hand, but instead raised his left hand.
As he raised his hand, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and a pair of crimson-gold gauntlets were instantly donned!
Tang Xiaolei's fifth arrow tore through the air, its shaft Entanglement in crimson light, causing even space itself to subtly distort in its wake.
This arrow contained all the Soul Power of his Fifth Soul Ring, accumulated over eight thousand years. Even a Soul King- level defensive Soul Master wouldn't dare to take it head-on.
At the critical moment...
Kong Xuan raised his left hand and precisely gripped the arrow shaft. The arrow tip was only half an inch away from Kong Xuan's brow, but it could not go any further.
Although the arrow carried immense Soul Power, it only managed to blow Kong Xuan's long, black hair backward.
Even if he didn't dodge, this arrow wouldn't harm him in the slightest!
