Chapter 41: Blazing Academy's Plot, a Soul Emperor Strikes to Kill Chu Chen
"It's him, there's no mistake. After staking out here for so many days, we've finally found our chance."
The voice of another girl from Blazing Academy was also cold. She looked up at the man beside her, whose features somewhat resembled hers, and asked, "How are the arrangements going?"
"Don't worry, this Great Spirit Arena only acts for profit. As long as we grease some palms, reporting some false information is not a problem."
The man spoke with a hint of contempt, watching Chu Chen stand on the arena stage, a fire of revenge flickering in his eyes.
"Is this Feng Kuang up to the task?" someone else asked.
"He's considered one of the rare geniuses of Kamikaze Academy. Having just reached a Breakthrough to level sixty-one, dealing with a Soul Sect is child's play. We just need him to hold back and not use his sixth Soul Ring ability."
The girl appeared completely indifferent.
And the Feng Kuang they spoke of was Chu Chen's opponent this time. Despite having level sixty-one Soul Power, the Great Spirit Arena's introduction of him stated he was only level fifty-five!
Chu Chen was currently unaware of all this.
He stood on the stage, his gaze from beneath the wide brim of his hat directed toward Feng Kuang. The Deathmatch officially began at this moment; by now, the name Destruction had already resounded throughout the entire Great Spirit Arena.
One could even say that all of Heaven Dou City had heard of this name.
"Brother Destruction has been missing for a few days, and finally, he has appeared again. To think he would directly choose to challenge a Soul King level opponent."
Inside the VIP spectator room, Xue Qinghe sat gracefully in a chair, watching Chu Chen with a smile on his lips.
Dugu Bo, on the other hand, had a strange expression.
"This kid, I thought he was up to something sneaky. It turns out he came here to fight in deathmatches. I heard the name Destruction a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to be him."
Dugu Bo recalled Chu Chen's second Martial Soul, which radiated a surging Will of Destruction, and smiled.
This name indeed suited him well.
"However, his opponent seems a bit off..." Dugu Bo's brow furrowed as his gaze fell upon Feng Kuang, always feeling that this guy's Soul Power was somewhat peculiar.
At the same time, two figures appeared beside Xue Qinghe. One of them lowered his voice and said, "Young Lord, this Destruction's opponent is a bit strange; he seems to be hiding his Soul Power."
"What?"
Xue Qinghe's expression tightened as he looked toward Feng Kuang.
"This person should have the strength of a Soul Emperor but deliberately suppressed his Soul Power. I'm afraid he's specifically targeting your friend, Young Lord."
Xue Qinghe's expression grew more solemn. He stood up, watching the match intently while saying to the person beside him, "Uncle She, go check it out."
"Yes."
...
On the Deathmatch stage, the Soul Power within Chu Chen's body erupted. As before, he did not reveal any Soul Rings, nor did he intend to use any Martial Soul Abilities.
"Destruction, I watched your match from a few days ago. You are very arrogant, but meeting me is where it ends for you."
Suddenly, fierce winds swept through the surroundings as Feng Kuang condensed his Soul Power. Then, he released his Martial Soul—it was a majestic eagle enveloped in raging gales!
"A Wind Eagle Martial Soul, is it?"
Chu Chen reached out toward Feng Kuang with a provocative gesture. Since Feng Kuang had come specifically to kill Chu Chen, he had nothing to worry about other than not being able to use his sixth Soul Skill.
"Swish!"
Feng Kuang burst forth with a series of afterimages, constantly closing in on Chu Chen. Soul Power condensed behind him into a pair of wind wings, which radiated a piercingly cold aura as they vibrated.
"First Soul Skill: Gale Sweep!"
Feng Kuang rapidly closed in on Chu Chen. The surrounding wild winds instantly condensed into numerous wind blades that converged on him, forming an eye of the storm to restrict Chu Chen's movements.
Chu Chen condensed his Soul Power. Facing such an attack, he quickly changed his offensive style, driving his Soul Power forward!
He met Feng Kuang's attack head-on. Golden life energy rapidly condensed and then exploded from his hands.
Such dense life energy tore an opening, and Chu Chen seized the opportunity to quickly close the distance with Feng Kuang. He used both hands and feet, unleashing attacks filled with powerful killing intent, while Feng Kuang utilized his aerial advantage.
He was locked in a constant struggle with Chu Chen.
"Boom!"
The instantaneous clash forced Chu Chen back a few steps. Then, an invisible shockwave of Soul Power struck Feng Kuang from a tricky angle.
Feng Kuang took the chance to pull away and unleashed his third Soul Skill: "Third Soul Skill: Wind Eagle Lock."
Chu Chen felt a hawk-like gaze fall upon him, as if he were prey targeted by a majestic eagle. Soul Power condensed layer by layer into powerful wind blades that incessantly slashed toward him.
With his current speed, it wasn't difficult to avoid this. He used unique footwork to weave through the dense barrage of wind blades.
"This guy's Soul Power doesn't seem like level fifty-five."
Chu Chen also sensed this abnormal Soul Power. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he immediately condensed a streak of blackish-purple lightning in his hand, radiating a Will of Destruction.
High on the platform, Dugu Bo's heart stirred.
"This aura is the destructive aura of his second Martial Soul. It seems he has noticed the anomaly." Dugu Bo felt slightly relieved.
He knew how overbearing Chu Chen's second Martial Soul was.
Chu Chen stopped using Ultimate Life and switched to Ultimate Destruction, proving he had discovered Feng Kuang's true strength. With his level forty-nine Soul Power, it wasn't impossible to contend with this Feng Kuang.
On the Deathmatch stage, Chu Chen quickly clenched his fist. A single punch erupted with overbearing blackish-purple lightning, directly scattering the wild winds. He then used this power to forcibly reverse the direction of the wind blades, knocking them away.
Immediately, he leaped into the air, throwing punches with wide, sweeping motions. Destructive Fist Intent condensed, transforming into radiant fist light.
"Rumble!"
The fist light whistled. Chu Chen relied on his brief moment in the air to exchange blows with Feng Kuang. Feng Kuang spread his wind wings, wanting to pull away, but was startled by Chu Chen's speed.
Subconsciously, Feng Kuang struck out with his palm. His palm strike carried the faint sound of an eagle's cry; his fingers curved like eagle claws, swirling with gales as he aimed for Chu Chen's throat.
When fist and claw met, Feng Kuang's expression instantly changed. His condensed Soul Power defense was shattered in an instant, and his fingers were directly crushed by Chu Chen's punch. Chu Chen's Physical Body strength was extraordinary.
"Crack!"
Feng Kuang cried out in pain. In his desperation, he unleashed all his Soul Power in an instant, forcing Chu Chen back before quickly retreating.
Chu Chen landed on the ground, condensing the blackish-purple lightning in his palm so that others could not identify it.
"A Soul Emperor, is it?"
Chu Chen had tested Feng Kuang's strength and had a faint suspicion. It seemed someone was targeting him; a Soul Emperor hiding his strength was clearly there to kill him.
Feng Kuang's expression was grim. In his moment of desperation, he had actually exposed his true strength. Chu Chen had obviously noticed, which only made the killing intent in Feng Kuang's heart grow even stronger!
