Therefore, this was their first time coming to the Water Wave City Grand Arena to watch the battle with their teacher.
Everything before their eyes deeply shocked them and truly broadened their horizons.
The beautiful woman whom Shui Yue'er called "Mom" was actually the girls' teacher, named Shui Liuli, a powerful six-ring Soul Emperor.
At the same time, she is also Shuiyue'er's biological mother.
However, their family relationships are somewhat complicated; Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er are half-sisters.
However, Shui Liuli treated Shui Bing'er as her own daughter, and they had a very good relationship.
Therefore, Shui Bing'er always affectionately called her "Mom".
Shui Liuli pressed down on her daughter's head, which was darting around, and at the same time, pulled the attention of the other girls who were also drawn into the atmosphere back to her: "Girls, quiet down. You'll have plenty of opportunities to compete yourself in the future. For now, focus your attention on the competition stage and observe and learn."
"Oh~" Shui Yue'er pouted and finally calmed down.
Looking at the two people already standing on the battle stage, he exclaimed in confusion.
That unique attire and mask reminded her of something that had happened not long ago.
His eyes darted around, a sly glint in them, and he chuckled secretly.
He nudged his sister beside him with his elbow and said in a low voice:
"Sister, look! Isn't that the man wearing the mask your soulmate from the other day? I was wondering why he looked so familiar!"
"Moon! What nonsense are you spouting!"
Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er's fair face instantly turned red, and she was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode.
She was originally a calm and collected person, and rarely let her emotions cloud her judgment.
But her younger sister always makes fun of her about these things.
Uncle can tolerate it, but Aunt can't!
But I'm out in the open, so it's inconvenient for me to lash out.
Shui Bing'er snorted coldly, already planning how to punish her arrogant younger sister when she got back.
The group didn't bother to lower their voices, and given their striking looks, they had already attracted a lot of attention from those around them.
The words "true emperor" seemed to possess a magical power, precisely reaching the ears of Dongfang Yao, who was intently cheering for her brother not far away.
The little girl's ears perked up instantly.
She immediately looked in the direction of the sound, and her gaze quickly locked onto the girl with the most aloof and outstanding temperament among the group of scantily clad girls.
Upon seeing the other person's exquisite and beautiful appearance, Dongfang Yao's face immediately fell.
His lips turned down, and the excited light in his bright eyes vanished instantly.
The purple light stick in his hand stopped waving and fell limply to his side.
Her eyes held a hint of resentment and wariness that she herself could hardly explain.
Her gaze fell upon the figure on the Soul Battle Stage, and her small lips pouted slightly.
at the same time,
Dongfang Jing was observing his opponent when his eyelids suddenly twitched for no reason.
A sudden chill ran through him: 'Am I going to lose this game?'
He was reluctant to accept this challenge that was beyond his level.
But a few days ago, I heard from the villagers that a small auction will be held in the city next week.
There will be many treasures for sale inside.
This put him in a difficult position, as he was short of money.
Initially, he made a small profit by betting on himself in competitions.
But as his reputation grew, more and more people bet on him, and the odds kept getting lower and lower.
He would never stoop to deliberately throwing a game to lose; such a morally reprehensible act would be beneath him.
Just then, the manager of the Great Soul Arena found him.
He promised that if he accepted the match, the Arena would pay him 50 gold soul coins as an appearance fee.
If they win, they'll get an extra 50.
A total of 100 million Gold Soul Coins!
This is by no means a small amount.
With this money, he could try his luck at the auction house.
Perhaps we can find something useful for ourselves and our sister.
Chapter 26: The Soul Ring Revealed, Shocking Tianshui; Danger Lurks in the Shadows
Yes,
This duel between opponents of higher levels was proposed by the other party.
Under the spotlight, the young Soul Master known as 'Iron Wall' stood tall and proud on one side of the Soul Arena.
As Dongfang Jing slowly walked onto the stage, Shi Lei unexpectedly raised his hand, politely interrupting the host who was about to speak.
He stared intently ahead, clasped his hands in a salute, and spoke in a loud but respectful voice: "I am Shi Lei. Thank you for accepting my presumptuous challenge."
This polite opening surprised Dongfang Jing slightly.
He originally thought that his opponent would, like many of his previous opponents, throw out some harsh words and trash talk before the match.
After all, in this great arena, arrogance has almost become the norm.
Shi Lei was surprisingly humble.
Dongfang Jing returned the greeting with clasped hands, waiting for the other party to continue.
Seeing this, Shi Lei revealed a broad and honest smile: "To be honest, I'm currently training hard in this Great Soul Arena. In my opinion, true progress always comes from pressure and challenges, not from solitary training behind closed doors. That's why I'm so eager to compete with true powerhouses!"
Dongfang Jing listened quietly, quite agreeing with him.
'This person speaks frankly and openly; could he be an important character in *Douluo Continent*?'
Seeing that Dongfang Jing did not show any impatience, Shi Lei
He then tentatively asked, "I have long heard of a remarkably talented individual among the Great Soul Masters, who, at such a young age, has achieved a brilliant record of thirty-five consecutive victories in this Great Soul Arena. May I ask if I may have the honor of knowing your real name and age?"
After saying that, as if afraid of being misunderstood, he quickly added,
His voice remained loud and sincere: "Please do not misunderstand, sir. I am neither a bloodthirsty and belligerent person, nor am I an envoy sent by any sect or family to win you over. I am simply curious and out of respect for the strong."
Their conversation was amplified and transmitted to every audience member present via a soul-guided amplification device.
Not only Shi Lei was curious,
The audience was also very curious.
One by one, they craned their necks.
I'm really looking forward to Mirror's answer.
Beneath the mask, Dongfang Jing's gaze remained calm and undisturbed.
He nodded slightly in return, his voice coming through the mask, simple and indifferent: "Names are not worth mentioning, and age is irrelevant to victory or defeat. Brother Shi need not concern himself with the difference in rank, for this is also a challenge for me."
Upon hearing this, Shi Lei was slightly taken aback.
It's a bit regrettable.
But then his gaze turned even more appreciative and ardent.
He could naturally sense that the other party was not old and that their soul power level was lower than his own.
This response cleverly avoided revealing personal information, while conveying an undeniable sense of confidence and composure.
This is the kind of strong opponent he wants to challenge!
"Haha, good! You're quite the expert!" My soul power and age are both superior to yours; I already have the upper hand in this battle. Even with my thick skin, I can't bring myself to overpower someone with my full strength.
His voice boomed: "In this battle, I will only use the first two soul skills! If I use the third soul skill, then I will have lost!"
These words, spoken openly and honestly, were amplified and carried throughout the entire venue via the soul-guided amplifier.
However, no applause or cheers erupted from the stands.
Instead, a lot of muffled complaints and boos came from the audience.
The reason is simple: no matter how powerful Lord Jing is, he is ultimately just a Great Soul Master.
There is an insurmountable gap between them and the Soul Master.
Many viewers, especially gamblers,
They all placed heavy bets on Shi Lei.
They could count on Shi Lei winning to make a fortune, but if Shi Lei lost because of his self-limiting soul skill, they would suffer huge losses!
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jing simply shook his head slightly and said nothing more.
In any case, he always had only one goal.
Win the match and take home one million Gold Soul Coins!
Seeing this, the blue-haired female host immediately swayed her hips and shouted in a high-pitched, excited voice, "The agreement between the two sides is complete! It seems this will be a fair and exciting duel! Therefore, I hereby announce—"
The competition has officially begun!
"boom!"
The moment the words left his mouth, Shi Lei was the first to act.
He let out a low shout, and his thick, earth-yellow soul power suddenly erupted.
"Black Rock Giant Rhinoceros, Possession!"
A heavy aura emanated from him, and his body was covered with a layer of hard rock armor.
His skin had a grayish-brown, rocky texture, his muscles were bulging and his body seemed to have swelled up.
