"A... All together? You're being far too arrogant!" Yan roared, his anger boiling over.
In all his years, this was the first time he had ever encountered someone so conceited.
Xie Yue and Hu Liena also clenched their fists.
They were geniuses whose innate spirit power had reached level seven or higher, not to mention they had already been cultivating for a year.
Yet now, they were being looked down upon by someone else.
Golden Crown gave a confident smile. "Arrogance requires capital, and I just so happen to have it."
Hu Liena gave a wicked smile and stepped forward with a feline grace. "In 그 case, we'll all go together. We'll take the opportunity to teach this little brother the meaning of humility."
Xie Yue and Yan exchanged a glance.
Immediately, the three of them formed a triangular formation and summoned their Martial Souls simultaneously.
"Yan, Martial Soul: Lord of Fire, level twenty-two attack system Battle Soul Master!"
"Xie Yue, Martial Soul: Moonblade, level twenty-four attack system Battle Soul Master!"
"Hu Liena, Martial Soul: Charming Fox, level twenty-six control system Battle Soul Master!"
As their voices fell, two yellow Soul Rings representing a hundred years each circled around each of them.
However, in the next second, a loud 'bang' was heard.
Yan was sent flying backward.
Only then did Xie Yue and Hu Liena react. "You..."
"It's a battle, why so much nonsense? Didn't your teachers ever teach you not to talk so much during a fight?" Golden Crown said, picking his ear.
Truthfully, he didn't understand why Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent had to announce their name, Martial Soul, and level before a fight.
Wasn't that just a complete waste of time?
Yan wiped away some blood from his nose and stood up from the ground, his eyes looking at Golden Crown as if they were about to spit fire. "Damn it, he actually launched a sneak attack."
Seeing that Golden Crown still hadn't activated his Martial Soul, Hu Liena asked in confusion, "Aren't you being a bit too overconfident? You won't even summon your Martial Soul?"
Golden Crown wagged his index finger back and forth. "NO, NO, NO. I'm afraid that if I use my Martial Soul, this battle will end very quickly."
"Then let us see just how powerful you are!"
"Xie Yue, Yan, let's go!"
At Hu Liena's command, the other two immediately rushed forward to launch an attack.
It had to be said that for these three to be hailed as Spirit Hall's 'Golden Generation' by Bibi Dong, they did indeed have some skill.
Xie Yue's Moonblade was incredibly tricky, every strike aiming for the most vulnerable parts of the human body.
Yan's flame-wrapped fists moved like a whistling wind, every punch aimed directly at Golden Crown's face.
And then there was Hu Liena, using Jiu-jitsu to constantly restrain him.
Combined with the fact that the three had grown up and cultivated together since childhood, their coordination was seamless.
For a moment, Golden Crown actually fell slightly into a disadvantage.
Golden Crown performed a leap of faith, jumping backward to temporarily put some distance between himself and the three.
"You want to run? It won't be that easy! Nana, pin him down!" Xie Yue said as he gripped his Moonblade and rushed forward quickly.
"Leave it to me."
"First Spirit Ability: Charm!"
A pink halo emanated from Hu Liena's body, and her already alluring eyes now looked at Golden Crown with intense seduction.
"Whoa, this little fox's Charm is really something." Golden Crown only looked for a moment before his mind instantly became dazed.
"Good opportunity!"
"First Spirit Ability: Slash!"
Seeing that Golden Crown seemed to be controlled by his sister, Xie Yue immediately activated his Spirit Ability to attack.
Just as Golden Crown broke through the Charm, he turned his head to see Xie Yue swinging the Moonblade toward him.
He quickly performed a split to dodge the strike.
But it wasn't over yet.
Because he was fighting three people.
"Xie Yue, move!"
After giving the warning, Yan leapt into mid-air.
"Second Spirit Ability: Granite Rock!"
The Lord of Fire attached to his back let out a roar, followed by an intense burst of heat.
Yan's entire right hand transformed into a massive, rock-like stone.
He smashed it down with great force.
The momentum was so great that one might have thought One Punch Man had arrived.
Facing this blow, Golden Crown wouldn't be foolish enough to stand still and take it head-on.
But just as he was about to dodge...
Hu Liena activated a control skill once again.
"Second Spirit Ability: Fox Charm!"
This time, a tail appeared behind Hu Liena, and her ears became furry.
The level of Charm was even more powerful than before.
Golden Crown fell directly into her illusion.
Xie Yue took the chance to throw the Moonblade from his hand.
Seeing this, the three were certain they had won, and smug smiles appeared on their faces.
"Kid, this is the price of your arrogance."
"It's over!"
Yan declared his victory.
"Let him be strong, for the breeze brushes the mountain!" Golden Crown clenched his fists and continued, "Let him be fierce, for the bright moon shines on the river!"
"Ha!"
With a loud shout, Golden Crown broke through Hu Liena's control, and a powerful spirit power erupted in an instant.
His entire body entered a beast-like state, and two purple Soul Rings slowly descended from above.
The powerful aura directly blew the three back.
After retreating several meters, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan finally steadied themselves.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they looked up...
The scene before their eyes left them dumbfounded, standing frozen in place.
Yan rubbed his eyes in disbelief. "Nana, you didn't use a Spirit Ability on me, did you? Why am I having hallucinations?"
Hu Liena ignored Yan, her eyes fixed on Golden Crown as she muttered, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. This doesn't make sense..."
Xie Yue also said, lost for words, "Didn't teacher say the limit for the first Soul Ring is 423 years, and the limit for the second is 764 years? How are his first and second Soul Rings both at the thousand-year level?!"
They weren't the only three who were shocked.
The onlookers outside the field were equally stunned.
"My god! Is this a joke? Who is this guy? His first two Soul Rings are both thousand-year level?"
"Impossible, I must be dreaming."
"Compared to him, we're miles behind."
And within the crowd...
Two others were so shocked they couldn't snap out of it for a long time.
"Thousand-year first and second rings! Old Ghost, hit me to see if I'm dreaming." Chrysanthemum Douluo's feminine voice was full of surprise.
Hearing this, Ghost Douluo said irritably, "Get lost, Ju Hua Guan. If you want to get hit, hit your own face."
The reason the two were here was to secretly protect Hu Liena and the others.
They were afraid the trio might injure Golden Crown, which would prompt the Hall of Worship to intervene.
But now it seemed their worries were entirely redundant.
Back on the field.
Golden Crown ignored the sounds of surprise coming from around him.
Instead, he immediately unleashed a Spirit Ability.
"First Spirit Ability, Dark Gold Tyrant Body!"
After boosting his physical strength, he locked onto Hu Liena and rushed forward quickly.
Before she could react, he landed a punch on Hu Liena's abdomen.
Then, another punch smashed into her face.
Finally, a kick sent Hu Liena flying.
Throughout the process, there was no mercy for her beauty and no hesitation whatsoever.
"Nana!" x2
By the time Yan and Xie Yue reacted, Hu Liena had already collapsed on the ground, unconscious.
Golden Crown cracked his neck and loosened his wrists, saying casually, "Don't be in a hurry, it's your turn next."
"Second Spirit Ability: Granite Rock!"
"Hmph! Petty tricks." Golden Crown scoffed. Before Yan's move could take shape, he arrived in front of him with extreme speed.
He grabbed the other's head and slammed it hard into the ground.
With a 'thud,' Yan lost consciousness.
Golden Crown tossed Yan aside and looked at Xie Yue with a 'kind' smile. "Only you left. Do you want to be knocked down like your teammates, or will you surrender?"
"What do you think?" Xie Yue raised his Moonblade and launched an attack.
Golden Crown sighed slightly. "Sigh, sometimes people need to know when to retreat, otherwise they'll suffer greatly."
"Second Spirit Ability, Golden Flash!"
Boom!
Following a violent explosion...
Xie Yue fell straight to the ground.
This also declared Golden Crown as the final winner of this match.
"I told you, if I used my Martial Soul, the battle would end very quickly."
"Believe me now?"
"Sigh, those who don't listen to a genius will suffer right before their eyes."
As Golden Crown spoke, he left the arena.
The three who lay incapacitated on the field were taken back by the two Douluos, Ghost and Chrysanthemum...
