Chapter 147: Zhu Zhuqing's Revenge, Come at Me Together!
"In the Soul Fighting Arena, the ownership of the Soul Fighting Stage is not entirely based on who arrives first, but rather it depends mainly on strength."
"If two people want to occupy the same stage, and their strengths are different, then the one who arrives first takes the stage."
"But if their levels are the same, they need to battle each other to decide who gets the stage. Only the winner can claim it."
"However, if one person is weaker and occupies the stage first, they can refuse challenges from someone stronger. But they cannot refuse challenges from someone with the same strength or weaker."
Zhu Zhuqing quietly explained to Lin Yu, sensing his curious gaze.
"Kid, you're probably only around ten years old, and your strength should be that of a Soul Master. With your abilities, how do you think you deserve to occupy a Soul Fighting Stage? I'll fight you. If you lose, this stage will belong to us!"
A skinny young man stepped out from behind the arrogant youth and sneered at Lin Yu.
"You're no match for me!" the young man declared.
Lin Yu, despite his youthful face, exuded an aura of calm and steadiness. He merely sneered, summoned his Twin Eyes Martial Soul, and in an instant, his eyes turned silver.
Two yellow soul rings appeared beneath his feet and circled around him.
"What?! You're a Great Soul Master?!"
Seeing the two hundred-year soul rings surrounding Lin Yu, the skinny youth was taken aback, his face paling in shock.
What a joke! This kid barely looks ten years old, and he's already a Great Soul Master?
Where did this freak come from?
Not only the skinny youth, but also the other men and women behind the arrogant youth couldn't hide their disbelief. They felt their own age and growth were wasted.
The kid in front of them looked no more than ten and was already a Great Soul Master.
When they were ten, they had just broken through to become a Soul Master!
However, unlike the others behind him, the arrogant youth's face remained unchanged.
That's because he already knew about Lin Yu from before.
That's right! He was one of Zhu Zhuqing's subordinates, sent by Zhu Zhuqing to take revenge on Lin Yu, to stop him from training peacefully with Zhu Zhuqing.
"Lu Qi, he's just a kid under ten, so what if he's a Great Soul Master? He's at most level 21 or 22. You're a level 19 Soul Master, are you afraid of such a kid?"
Seeing that Lu Qi seemed to hesitate, the arrogant youth crossed his arms and sneered, provoking him.
From what he knew of Lu Qi, he wouldn't be able to resist his provocation in front of so many people.
And sure enough…
"Who says I'm afraid of him?!"
After hearing the arrogant youth, Lu Qi felt a rush of blood to his head and stood up defiantly.
"If you're not afraid of him, then go ahead!" someone behind the arrogant youth shouted, pushing Lu Qi forward.
"Fine, then!"
Lu Qi, eager to prove himself, strode over to the Soul Fighting Stage, jumping onto the platform with a determined expression.
"Kid, so you're a Great Soul Master, huh? Let me show you what I'm made of!"
Seeing Lin Yu summon his Twin Eyes Martial Soul, surrounded by the two hundred-year soul rings, Lu Qi rolled up his sleeves, muttering to himself as he prepared for the battle.
Below, the arrogant youth couldn't help but grin with satisfaction.
He had brought all these people here to test Lin Yu's soul skills, and so far, everything was going according to plan.
"Zhuqing, you get off," Lin Yu said coldly, seeing Lu Qi's bravado. He wasn't concerned and instead turned to Zhu Zhuqing, signaling her to step down as he prepared to showcase some of his strength.
Lin Yu wasn't naive.
He had just offended Zhu Zhuqing the day before, and now people were coming to intentionally pick a fight with him.
It was clear that Zhu Zhuqing had sent them to retaliate!
But Lin Yu didn't think that Lu Qi was directly sent by her.
Because Lu Qi was too naïve!
Lin Yu figured that the arrogant youth leading the group was the one most likely behind this.
"Kid, take this!"
"Ghost Leopard, possession!"
While Lin Yu was thinking, Lu Qi suddenly yelled out and summoned his Martial Soul, the Ghost Leopard, entering Martial Soul possession.
A pitch-black Ghost Leopard emerged from his back and instantly merged into his body.
Lu Qi's physique suddenly grew taller, his muscles swelling. Black fur appeared on the backs of his hands, and ten sharp claws extended like curved daggers from his fingers.
At the same time, a yellow soul ring appeared beneath him, wrapping around his body.
"First soul skill, Phantom Blade!"
After entering Martial Soul possession, Lu Qi yelled out, activating his first soul skill. His body turned into a blur and lunged towards Lin Yu.
With the first soul ring glowing, Lu Qi's speed increased dramatically.
At the same time, his claws lengthened, and their sharpness intensified!
"Take this, kid!"
Lu Qi shouted angrily, but Lin Yu just sneered.
"First soul skill, Purple Spirit Weakening Halo!"
"Second soul skill, Mental Replication Eye!"
Facing Lu Qi, Lin Yu immediately unleashed the Purple Spirit Weakening Halo on him.
Lin Yu's real strength was at level 70, more than 50 levels higher than Lu Qi, and with the crushing advantage of his ten-thousand-year soul rings.
As the purple light encased Lu Qi, his strength, speed, and power were all instantly reduced by over 90%!
Suddenly, his body became incredibly weak, to the point that moving became difficult.
Lu Qi, who had been charging full speed, staggered and suddenly fell face-first onto the stage, sliding a long distance across the platform.
Lin Yu kicked him away effortlessly, sending him flying into the crowd where the arrogant youth stood.
"Lu Qi!"
Seeing Lu Qi thrown across the arena, someone in the crowd rushed forward to help him, but Lu Qi was weak and motionless.
The Purple Spirit Weakening Halo had reduced his abilities by over 90%, leaving him in a state of exhaustion as if he had just endured seven days without rest.
"You, who's the leader here? If you want to fight me, come up directly, no need for any tricks. Or... if you want, you can all come at me together!"
After kicking Lu Qi, Lin Yu looked down at the arrogant youth and the crowd, crossing his arms and speaking indifferently.
Hearing Lin Yu's words, the crowd instantly became agitated, glaring at him with anger.
Then, the arrogant youth stepped forward.
