The delicate young woman lightly covered her red lips, unable to believe that Yang Tian dared to flirt with the manager so directly. She remembered that the last Spirit Master who spoke ill of the manager behind her back had a tombstone covered in tall grass.
"I, I will relay your message. You, please go~" The delicate young woman stammered, as the host on the Dou Hun Stage had already begun calling both parties to enter.
Yang Tian nodded and unhurriedly walked through the passage onto the Dou Hun Stage.
The Dou Hun Stage was not large, only about forty meters in length and width. It was fine for Spirit Elder battles, but a bit cramped for Spirit King battles.
"Next, a battle between a Spirit Elder and a Spirit King is about to begin.
On our right, we have the player Furious Wolf, who once achieved seven consecutive victories in one-on-one Dou Hun as a Spirit Ancestor! That's right, after two months, player Furious Wolf has successfully advanced to the ranks of Spirit King!
And on our left, this young player is the genius Spirit Master, Swordsman, recommended by the esteemed Manager!
So, in this battle, will the genius Spirit Elder defy expectations and defeat the Wolf Soul King? Or will the Wolf Soul King powerfully crush him and defend his title?
Let's wait and see!" The host's speech immediately pushed the atmosphere in the stands to a climax.
A genius Spirit Elder battling a Spirit King—this was a first in many years!
"The betting pool is open. Betting on Swordsman to win pays seven to one, and on Furious Wolf to win pays one point five to one." Special operation buttons in the stands were activated, allowing spectators to place their bets in a short time.
"What a joke, no matter how strong a Spirit Elder is, can he really defeat a Spirit King? The Soul Arena is just giving us money."
"I usually like to bet on underdogs, but today's underdog is too much of an underdog."
"What are you waiting for, why wouldn't you take free money?"
Spectators only had half a minute to place their bets, but Lin Zhiling, who was watching the betting data backstage, was beaming.
Yang Tian's performance had prompted Lin Zhiling to open this betting pool, and now, the gold coin wagered on Yang Tian to lose amounted to over one hundred thousand, while only a thousand was bet on Yang Tian to win.
"Little brother, whether I make a profit this time depends on you. Don't disappoint me~" Lin Zhiling crossed her long legs, quietly watching the live broadcast from the Dou Hun Stage.
She had always been good at judging people, and she hoped it would be the same this time.
On the Dou Hun Stage, Yang Tian was calm and composed, while opposite him was a muscular, scar-faced middle-aged man. He smiled, seemingly disdainfully… He couldn't understand why the Soul Arena would arrange a Spirit Elder for him to battle.
However, since winning still awarded fifty gold coin, he would just treat it as a game.
The host stood on the commentary platform and looked at the two participants: "Please release your Spirit!"
Upon hearing this, the Wolf Soul King let out a low growl, and a phantom of a red-eyed wolf materialized. At the same time, the Wolf Soul King's eyes also turned crimson, three-inch-long claw blades popped out from his fingertips, his muscles bulged, his height increased by thirty centimeters, and a layer of pale wolf fur grew on his body.
"Furious Wolf, a Level 51 attack system Spirit King, please!"
Although Furious Wolf looked down on Yang Tian, he still activated his Spirit immediately, not wanting to suffer an unexpected defeat.
On the other side, Yang Tian also directly summoned the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword, and at the same time, three spirit ring on his feet lit up: "Swordsman, Spirit Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword, Level 40 attack system War Soul Grand Master!
Please advise!"
The Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword floated directly behind Yang Tian, its tip pointing to the ground, slowly rotating.
Fire Spirit were easiest to conceal, and the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword could also be summoned from the system backpack at any time without being noticed.
So, the disguise was perfect…
The Wolf Soul King frowned. Yang Tian remained motionless after summoning his Spirit. With this stance, was he expecting him to initiate the attack?
Facing a mere Spirit Elder, he had to take the initiative to attack? What about his reputation?
Thinking this, the Wolf Soul King sneered and said, "Kid, I'll let you make the first move. Don't say I didn't give you a chance to attack."
Yang Tian's gaze was calm. However, since the other party had said so, he couldn't very well not accept the offer, could he?
He reached out, gripped the sword, and struck!
With one sword strike, the Wolf Soul King's pupils suddenly constricted. He then roared, and his second and third Spirit Ability lit up consecutively. His body was coated in a metallic sheen, and at the same time, an energy shield condensed in front of him.
In the stands, some people were confused. How could a dignified Spirit King be so cautious in the face of a casual strike from a Spirit Elder?
However, the Wolf Soul King had not stopped releasing his Spirit Ability. The black spirit ring under his feet lit up: "Fifth Spirit Ability, Crimson Cross Slash!"
A crimson cross slash flew towards the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword Qi.
The ten-thousand-year spirit ring ability displayed impressive power as soon as it was unleashed, and a gasp of surprise swept through the stands.
Just seeing this ten-thousand-year spirit ring ability made this trip to the Dou Hun worthwhile.
However, to everyone's disbelief, the unassuming sword qi unleashed by the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword was not extinguished by the crimson cross slash.
On the contrary, the crimson cross slash was directly annihilated by that sword qi. The sword qi, like a force of nature, directly struck the Wolf Soul King's energy shield.
Chii~
The shield was instantly cut open. The Wolf Soul King's expression changed, and he crossed his claws in front of his chest, forming a defense with ten interlaced claw blades.
Clang!
Sparks flew, and the sound of metal clashing rang out.
Ha!
The Wolf Soul King roared, and his ten metallic claws were severed one by one. But the Wolf Soul King also used this opportunity to shift his body and dodge the sword qi's attack.
Chi!
The sword qi ultimately hit the Dou Hun Stage behind him, leaving a sword mark about an inch deep.
"So, so strong!" The Wolf Soul King felt a chill down his spine. Fortunately, he had released his Spirit immediately, fortunately he had decisively used his fifth Spirit Ability to weaken the sword qi, and fortunately his claws were strong enough. Otherwise, if that sword light had landed on him, even if his third Spirit Ability was Copper Skin Iron Bones, he would have been cut in half by that sword qi.
Yang Tian's gaze was calm. This Spirit King's reaction was quite clever; otherwise, he would have had to intervene to control that sword qi.
However, it was probably best not to use the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword carelessly in the future. Although this sword qi was powerful, its consumption was not small.
His Saint Body spirit power was abundant and inexhaustible, yet it still depleted two-tenths of his spirit power in a short time. This level of consumption, even on another Spirit Ancestor, might have drained eighty percent of their spirit power.
"Even a Spirit Emperor would have to put in some effort to take this blow. It seems challenging a Spirit Emperor isn't impossible." Yang Tian was tempted, but he quickly calmed down. Spirit Emperors were still quite troublesome to deal with; fighting Spirit Kings was simpler. Look, one sword strike, and he's dumbfounded.
The Wolf Soul King was indeed dumbfounded at this moment. He couldn't believe that Yang Tian's single sword strike had such immense power.
In the stands, there was a moment of silence.
At this moment, any normal person would know what had just happened. That seemingly ordinary sword qi had almost cut the Wolf Soul King in half!
Was this still a Spirit Elder? Did the Soul Arena invite a Spirit Saint? Even a Spirit Emperor wouldn't have this kind of power, right?
However, Yang Tian's spirit ring were indeed three… spirit ring!
"His spirit ring, his spirit ring! Swordsman, look at Swordsman's spirit ring!" In the stands, someone shouted in horror.
