Chapter 10 Soul Battle Competition
The private rooms are somewhat similar to the auction hall, with a relatively simple interior. However, the visual effect is better than the auction hall, and it's quite close to the central arena.
In the center was a fighting arena over a hundred meters long and wide, its entire surface made of metal, appearing extremely hard. The edges were protected by railings, somewhat similar to a boxing ring from my previous life, but much larger.
Compared to the auction house, the Great Battle Arena was significantly noisier, with many people arguing and holding banners, glow sticks, or signs.
As the match drew closer, more and more people gathered at the venue, and eventually the entire arena was packed with people, with virtually no empty seats.
As the host began his speech: "Ladies and gentlemen, today's competition is about to begin. Please welcome both competitors to the arena. The two competitors for this match are the level 56 Earth Overlord and the level 57 Power King."
"The Earth Overlord's martial soul is the Earth Bull, a powerful attack-type battle soul king, with two yellow and three purple soul rings. To date, he has 76 wins and 24 losses."
"The King of Strength's martial soul is the Ape, a powerful attack-type battle soul king, with two yellow and three purple soul rings. To date, he has a record of 46 wins and 17 losses."
"Both of them have very high win rates in the Soul Arena and are star players in our Heaven Dou City Continent Square. Today's Soul Battle is sure to be very intense."
Then, the big screen displayed the two people's information, but both of them were wearing masks.
"Mom, why are their fifth spirit rings all purple?"
"Son, every spirit ring is an opportunity for a spirit master. The normal age limit for the fifth spirit ring should be within 12000 years, and this range is very difficult to grasp. Spirit beasts are also relatively rare."
"Even a Soul Beast that has just turned ten thousand years old normally requires a Soul Emperor level expert to defeat. Moreover, there are all sorts of dangers in the forest. So, to get a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, you normally need at least a high-level Soul Emperor or Soul Saint level expert to help you. Commoners cannot obtain such resources."
"Don't underestimate these two Soul Masters. Although they are only Soul Kings, their first four Soul Rings are all of the best configuration, which means that these two people also have a certain background, it's just that the background is not strong enough."
Hearing his mother's words, Yang Podi also began to watch the battle of souls seriously.
The host continued, "Now you have one minute to prepare. Both sides, please get ready and begin summoning your Martial Souls."
As expected, after hearing these words, both of them on the stage began to summon their martial spirits.
The person on the left summoned a gigantic bull, looking ferocious, especially its horns which seemed to gleam with a cold light. The person on the right summoned a gorilla, which was much larger and covered in muscles, exuding explosive power. Judging from the appearance of the gorilla and the bull, both were clearly power-type Soul Masters.
One minute later, the referee spoke again: "Preparation time is over, the match begins."
The entire venue erupted in cheers, with everyone seemingly shouting the nicknames of the two Soul Masters. This scene was a hundred times more lively than any celebrity concert in my previous life.
Meanwhile, the two on the battle arena began to charge at each other, since both were offensive-type Soul Masters and their speed was relatively slow.
Yang Podi carefully observed the two combat spirits. Both were clearly experienced in battle, displaying a variety of combat techniques and releasing their respective spirit skills. However, compared to their combat skills and spirit skills, the clash was more about the sheer force of their power, making it relatively simple and brutal.
In other words, from a martial arts perspective, the combat skills of these two Soul Kings are probably inferior to those of a complete novice like myself from my previous life. From the perspective of someone who learned martial arts in my previous life, it's like two brutes competing in strength.
My mom seemed quite excited too, looking like she couldn't resist joining in for a fight. Ultimately, the Earth Overlord won, but neither of them fared well, both covered in wounds.
What disappointed Yang Podi was that the two of them had to shout out the name of their soul skill before releasing it, as if all soul masters on the Douluo Continent had this characteristic.
Yang Podi asked his mother with some doubt, "Mom, why does everyone like to announce their soul skill number before releasing it? They even say the details of the soul skill. And although they've been fighting for a long time, it seems like they haven't used many techniques, or rather, they haven't used very sophisticated ones?"
Niu Jinfeng smiled and said, "Son, you're wrong. The two Soul Masters in the Soul Arena just now were both very good in terms of experience and combat skills, and they even had some combat techniques."
"But you should be aware that our Breaking Clan is almost at the pinnacle of combat skills in the Douluo Continent. There aren't many people stronger than us in terms of combat skills."
"The Soul-Shattering Spear Technique that you practice every day was created through countless generations of improvement by our Soul-Shattering Clan. It even borrowed some techniques from the Clear Sky Sect's hammer techniques. How can two commoner Soul Masters be compared to the Soul-Shattering Spear Technique?"
"So, according to you, both of these Soul Masters are quite good?"
"These two Soul Masters are nothing special. If they were Soul Kings from major sects, they could probably defeat both of them."
"Mom, this can't be serious, can it? I think they're quite nice together."
"Son, what makes you think they're good?"
Yang Podi was speechless.
"Son, remember this: truly powerful Soul Masters and their combat skills are not learned in the Soul Arena. They are either inherited from their families or trained through life-and-death experiences."
"These two Soul Masters are passable, but they probably won't meet the standards of major sects. Judging from their builds and features, they are both over forty years old, or even close to fifty, so their potential is relatively limited."
"Mom, then why do they still participate in the Soul Battle?"
"To seize an opportunity, these two Soul Masters are already considered high-level Soul Kings. In some small cities, they could even be city lords. But judging from their appearance, they seem to want to make another push, hoping to gain resources or the attention of major sects through Soul Battles. This way, they might be able to reach the Soul Saint level in their lifetime. You have to understand that the sixth and seventh Soul Rings are beyond their current strength."
"Hmm, what if the two of them joined some major sect or family?"
"Son, as I just said, with their potential, the major sects probably wouldn't be interested, and the smaller sects can't provide what they want."
"What about the Spirit Hall?"
"The Spirit Hall is a possibility, but the Spirit Hall values the loyalty of its spirit masters very much. If a spirit master is not trained by them, they may have to pay a higher price to gain their help."
