Besides his strength, Qian Suoning held a high position in the Qian family. Even Qian Xunjie had to respectfully call him uncle. Now that he intervened, even Qian Xunjie couldn't ignore his uncle's face.
Qian Xunjie signaled Yan Wei with a look, indicating he should remain calm. Only then did Yan Wei glare at Ming Tian and retreat.
Ming Tian wouldn't be intimidated. He knew he would face even stronger opponents later. If he didn't use his other abilities now, he'd have to reveal them against even stronger opponents anyway. Since revealing them sooner or later was the same, he might as well reveal them now, easily defeat his current opponent, and conserve his soul power.
However, this made Ning Siyin the shortest-reigning champion. Coupled with the fact he didn't make it to the end, he was destined to miss out on Spirit Hall.
Qian Suoning nodded at Ming Tian, his eyes showing appreciation. Ming Tian also nodded in acknowledgement and went to the side. He would likely have to deal with everyone else.
Yan Wei's third auction item was a Soul Tool provided by Qian Suoning.
"This is a Soul Tool. Many years ago, when I was traveling the continents, I saved a person who was shipwrecked at sea. To repay my kindness, he gave me this Soul Tool. The person I saved told me he was from a continent far away from our Douluo Continent, called the Sun Moon Continent. They specialized in researching Soul Tools there. However, the person from the Sun Moon Continent died due to not being acclimatized. In the end, I don't even know if the so-called Sun Moon Continent exists. Only this Soul Tool he left behind is rather peculiar."
"By activating soul power, this Soul Tool can release energy beams to attack, with effects roughly comparable to second or third soul skills."
"However, even Gao Ling, the most famous Soul Engineer on the continent, couldn't figure out how it was made. And because I haven't used and maintained it much in recent years, it's not very effective anymore. If anyone is interested in Soul Tools, you can bid on it."
Qian Suoning addressed the crowd.
Yan Wei also agreed, saying:
"This item is provided by Old Qian, with a value of 400,000 Gold Soul Coins. Any interest?"
Yan Wei said unhappily; he was still feeling frustrated.
In this era, not many people were interested in Soul Tools; they all revered Soul Masters. The concept of Soul Tools hadn't been introduced, and Soul Engineers had no future. Furthermore, no one present was interested; even Ming Tian didn't understand. He was more interested in whether the place called the Sun Moon Continent existed. According to some adventurers from the Douluo Continent, there were at least three other continents outside of Douluo Continent, and Douluo Continent itself had many unknown forbidden areas. This world was vast and mysterious, waiting for people to explore; these were what attracted Ming Tian.
In the end, the Soul Tool that no one wanted was bought by Morris, the Bright Jade Sect Master, for 800,000 Gold Soul Coins, only doubling the price.
With the auction of the prizes over, people's attention returned to the arena. They wanted to see how far the Twin Martial Souls guy could go. After all, they had never heard of Twin Martial Souls. Now that they had seen it, they were very interested.
The expressions of Ming Tian's companions and former opponents were even more exciting. They didn't expect that this guy who had always been by their side, and who hadn't been noticed much, was actually a Twin Martial Soul. No wonder he could beat them before, or rather, help them win.
Ming Tian looked at the waiting area, and Yan Wei's expression towards him became strange. Of those present, he had the earliest contact with Ming Tian and knew the most, so his shock and suspicion were even greater.
He remembered Ming Tian telling him he was only seven years old! A seven-year-old Great Soul Master, with Twin Martial Souls? Who would believe it?
"Brother Yan, I will hold on until only we are left..."
Ming Tian's words from before resurfaced in his mind. He had thought Ming Tian was exaggerating previously, but now it seemed not impossible.
Ming Tian, what else are you hiding from me? Is this all? Or are you really an Evil Soul Master...?
Yan's mind was in turmoil; he thought of many things.
He didn't even see the look Ming Tian gave him.
"Next up is, Meng Xun!"
Yan Wei shouted loudly. Meng Xun, upon hearing his name, stood up and walked towards the arena.
This was a Soul Venerable! And Meng Xun had always been highly regarded. Now that he was finally appearing, would Meng Xun win? Or would this Twin Martial Soul youngster? People were filled with curiosity.
Meng He, Meng Xun's father, saw his son on the stage from below, and his eyes revealed concern.
"Brother Meng, do you think Little Xun can win?"
"Hehe, I was confident in him before, but now..."
"Let's wait and see."
Meng He said reservedly.
"Hello, I'm very fortunate to fight you. Let me see how capable you are with your Twin Martial Souls."
Meng Xun said, looking at Ming Tian with interest.
"I will. You injured my companions in the preliminaries. Although they weren't strong enough, I've wanted to fight you for a long time to avenge them."
Ming Tian looked at Meng Xun and spoke with great spirit.
"Oh? If so, let's begin!"
"Martial Soul, appear! Rock Shell Turtle Lord!"
Meng Xun pressed his hands to the ground, and a giant, earthy-yellow soul mark appeared on the ground. Then, the ground rumbled and vibrated, like a small earthquake was happening. Something seemed to be emerging from the ground. Something like a small mountain bulged upwards, lifting Meng Xun. A giant, earthy-yellow turtle appeared beneath his feet. The turtle's head and limbs seemed to be made of rock, and its shell had many large, bulging rocks. Meng Xun stood on the rocks.
"Puff!!!!!!"
Two yellow and one purple soul rings appeared around Meng Xun. Meng Xun didn't say anything and activated his second soul ring.
Two cannons emerged from the Rock Shell Turtle Lord's shell. The cannons were also made of earthy-yellow rock. They retracted and then extended, and the two rock cannons fired huge rocks towards Ming Tian!
"Second Soul Skill! Rock Cannon!"
"BOOM BOOM!!! BOOM BOOM!!"
The rock cannonballs instantly attacked forward indiscriminately. Ming Tian dodged quickly, not expecting the Rock Shell Turtle Lord to be so fierce. This was an impregnable fortress!
Seeing Ming Tian so hard-pressed by the Rock Shell Turtle Lord's attacks, Yan Wei cheered from the side! He hoped the rock cannons would blast him to death! He definitely wouldn't save him!
"Scorpion Claw Slash!!!"
Although Ming Tian dodged, he was also looking for an opportunity and would attack during the gaps in the Rock Cannon's attacks.
"First Soul Skill, Rock Shell Shield!!"
Meng Xun's first soul ring glowed, and a turtle shell shield appeared in front of him. He also had a matching one behind him. The Rock Shell Shield protected him, and he was invulnerable to attack.
"Good job!"
Yan Wei shouted from below! He was thrilled.
Rock Shell Shield for defense, Rock Cannon for ranged attacks, and the Stone Dissolving Disaster, a thousand-year soul skill that could petrify enemies, wasn't even used. With such powerful soul skills, how could Ming Tian possibly win?
This was what everyone present thought. What would Ming Tian do now?
"Evil God Bodyguard!!"
The Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger Martial Soul switched, and Evil God Bodyguard activated again. The huge rock cannonballs passed through Ming Tian's body, and Ming Tian, taking advantage of the remaining time of the Evil God Bodyguard, quickly charged towards Meng Xun.
"Want to use the same trick again?"
"Third Soul Skill, Stone Dissolving Disaster!"
"Puff!"
The Rock Shell Turtle Lord opened its mouth, and an earthy-yellow light gathered in its mouth. A huge, earthy-yellow beam of light immediately shot towards Ming Tian. A petrifying skill, the Stone Dissolving Disaster!
The earthy-yellow beam's range was vast; it would be difficult for Ming Tian to dodge!
Moreover, the Evil God Bodyguard's time was almost up. What would he do?
