Douluo: Martial Soul Body, I’m True Master

The mention of the “Verifier of Grandmaster’s Theories” immediately caught the attention of everyone in the Great Spirit Arena.

As time passed, Grandmaster’s influence had long since permeated the hearts of Spirit Masters.

This was especially true as his theories were verified one by one to be effective and showed extraordinary results, pushing Grandmaster’s status to an unparalleled peak.

A millennium second spirit ring was a feat that some had indeed achieved on the continent in recent years, but these were mostly rumors.

Many Spirit Masters had never seen it with their own eyes.

Su Yuntao’s appearance was undoubtedly a powerful piece of evidence for Grandmaster’s theories.

Tang Shan and Su Haichao, who had not registered along with Su Yuntao, mingled in the crowd, feeling somewhat tongue-tied.

At this moment, they seemed to finally have a relatively deep understanding of Grandmaster’s influence.

“Shan Zi, isn’t this scene a bit too big?”

Su Haichao lowered his voice to ask Tang Shan.

Tang Shan also hadn’t expected Su Yuntao’s millennium second spirit ring to cause such a huge reaction.

“It’s fine.

No matter how big the scene is, it doesn’t matter.

After Brother Tao makes a name for himself and then announces his status as a Spirit Hall Spirit Master, it will actually be more beneficial for him.”

Although Tang Shan felt the current situation was slightly out of control, he quickly made adjustments.

First, the method for absorbing a millennium second spirit ring had long been popularized across the continent, which basically eliminated any hidden dangers this might bring to Su Yuntao.

The remaining hidden risk was the Genius talent required to achieve a millennium second spirit ring.

But this point didn’t hold up—Su Yuntao was already eighteen years old yet was still a Spirit Grandmaster.

The possibility of him being targeted due to outstanding talent was almost zero.

A method known to all, a future mid-level powerhouse whose strength was only slightly better than an ordinary Spirit Master, plus the reputation accumulated in the future and the endorsement of his Spirit Hall identity—

Tang Shan was basically certain that he had nearly cleared away any security risks his elder brother might encounter in the future.

“Just let Big Brother participate in the Spirit fight normally.”

Having settled his calculations, Tang Shan said this to Su Haichao.

Su Haichao nodded slightly and used the technique of transmitting sound into the ears to tell Su Yuntao to continue with the Spirit fight.

Su Yuntao, who had been somewhat bewildered by the surrounding crowd, finally had a clear direction after hearing his father’s instructions.

“I want to participate in a Spirit Grandmaster Spirit fight.”

The staff member snapped out of the shock brought by the millennium second spirit ring and put on a trademark smile again.

“Please follow me.”

As she spoke, the staff member took the lead.

However, from the way she glanced at Su Yuntao from time to time, it wasn’t hard to see that she was only maintaining a surface-level calm, while the waves in her heart were far from settling.

“I heard a Spirit Grandmaster with a millennium second spirit ring is going to fight?”

“Is that for real?”

“It seems to be true, he just finished registering.”

“Sigh, another Genius.”

“That’s hard to say.

Look at him, he’s an adult and still just a Spirit Grandmaster.

Maybe he’s just an ordinary Spirit Master who got lucky and got a millennium second spirit ring?”

“In that case, can I also try for a millennium second spirit ring by tempering my body?”

“Talk after you lose that belly first.”

…Similar discussions were endless.

Tang Shan pricked up his ears and heard a few lines; they were either marveling at the difficulty of a millennium second spirit ring or praising the brilliance of Grandmaster’s theories.

“Let’s go see Yuntao’s performance.”

Hearing Su Haichao’s suggestion, Tang Shan nodded in agreement and walked toward a sub-arena stage.

It was a circular arena about fifty meters in diameter, with two long walkways extending to both ends.

Rows of seats rose in tiers, completely surrounding the entire sub-arena.

At this moment, the audience was already seated, waiting for the Spirit fight to begin.

The layered clamor echoed in the relatively enclosed space, and the heated atmosphere made the air feel a few degrees warmer.

“The two sides in the next Spirit fight are no ordinary individuals.

The upcoming battle will definitely be a clash between the strong!”

The host stood in the center of the arena holding an amplification spirit tool, announcing in an impassioned tone.

Instantly, the atmosphere of the entire venue became even more enthusiastic.

“Now, please allow me to introduce the two contestants for this Spirit fight.”

The host raised his left hand high, pointing toward the left passage.

“One of the contestants is only one victory away from advancing to a Copper Spirit Fighter.

He has been winning consecutive battles, possesses two hundred-year spirit rings, and his Spirit is the Iron Dragon Saber—Spirit Master Blade Dragon!”

Whoosh!

A massive uproar resounded throughout the arena, showing that the opponent was by no means an unknown figure in this Great Spirit Arena.

Accompanied by enthusiastic cheers, a well-proportioned middle-aged man with a face full of crisscrossing scars slowly walked out of the passage.

He spread his arms wide, fully enjoying the cheers and attention of the entire audience.

“And Blade Dragon’s opponent is a newcomer.”

The host paused slightly, accurately grasping the audience’s emotions.

Before anyone could complain, he threw out another bombshell.

“He is a newcomer with a millennium second spirit ring!”

The entire arena first fell into a brief dead silence, and then an even more surging wave of sound swept from the stands toward the arena.

Su Yuntao, wearing a wolf-head mask, walked out step by step from the passage on the right of the host.

“Contestant Lone Wolf, possessing a millennium second spirit ring, is a powerful Verifier of Grandmaster’s Theories!

He undoubtedly proves to us that even with average talent, one can obtain a powerful spirit ring through ‘Grandmaster’s Theories’!”

Tang Shan wondered if this host was the top host of the Great Spirit Arena; his control over people’s hearts and his ability to mobilize the audience’s emotions truly opened Tang Shan’s eyes.

“I now announce, Lone Wolf versus Blade Dragon, the Spirit fight officially begins!”

As the words fell, the host leaped backward, jumping out of the arena.

When he entered, Blade Dragon showed total arrogance, but once he truly entered a combat state, he was surprisingly calm.

“The Great Spirit Arena really knows how to arrange things.

Right off the bat, they pair him with an opponent with dual hundred-year rings.

It’s impossible that they didn’t pick him specifically for your big brother.”

Su Haichao sat in the stands, feeling the fanatical atmosphere of the audience around him, and couldn’t help but complain.

“It’s not every year they encounter a Spirit Master with a millennium second spirit ring.

It would be strange if they didn’t seize the opportunity to build hype.”

Tang Shan was not surprised by this.

He even suspected that if time hadn’t been so tight, they might have arranged for Su Yuntao to compete in the Main Arena.

After all, such massive hype, if successfully capitalized on, would mean a large amount of gold coins.

An iron-gray long saber suddenly appeared in Blade Dragon’s hand, with a small snake coiled around the blade.

Two yellow hundred-year spirit rings rose from beneath his feet.

Su Yuntao, who had also completed his Spirit possession, was stunned for a moment: Didn’t they say the Spirit was an Iron Dragon Saber?

Why is it a snake coiled around the blade?

While Su Yuntao was distracted, Blade Dragon’s heart was also full of shock—although he had received notice from the Great Spirit Arena in advance, seeing the one-yellow, one-purple spirit ring configuration of the masked man opposite him with his own eyes still made him lose his focus.

Blade Dragon was the first to snap back to reality.

He poured spirit power into his legs, his speed suddenly increasing as he rapidly closed the distance with Su Yuntao.

The first spirit ring beneath his feet lit up, and two white Saber Qi bursts erupted from the Spirit, crossing in the air into a “cross” shape.

First Soul Skill: Saber Qi.

Activates the spirit ring to release Saber Qi to attack the enemy.

For every rank Breakthrough, the number of Saber Qi increases by one, up to a maximum of nine.

Berserk!

Facing the incoming attack, Su Yuntao did not hesitate to activate his spirit ring.

Feeling the surging speed and strength, his figure flashed to avoid the Saber Qi.

Leaning slightly, he lunged toward Blade Dragon with large strides.

Such fast speed!

Blade Dragon’s heart tightened.

He activated his first spirit ring again, and two more Saber Qi slashed out.

Tang Shan watched the battle below, his expression gradually losing control.

No, are you just going to stand there and slash?

Move around a bit, at least?

Su Yuntao continued to dodge easily, and he also gradually noticed something was wrong: Why did the opponent only stand in place to output and never move?

“You forced me to do this.”

Seeing that his soul skills could never hit the opponent, Blade Dragon snorted coldly, and the second spirit ring beneath his feet lit up.

Second Spirit Ability: Saber Net.

Releases a large amount of small Saber Qi with a certain homing effect.

One after another, several-inch-long Qi blades emerged from the iron-gray greatsword, flying toward Su Yuntao.

Looking at the Saber Qi, which was smaller in size but otherwise not much different from before, Su Yuntao did not dare to be careless—after all, it was an attack released by a second Spirit Ability.

Is it defense-ignoring, or compressed explosion?

Is it a chance for an instant kill, or an absolute hit?

Recalling the horror of rule-based soul skills or those with special effects mentioned by his little brother, Su Yuntao’s face turned solemn.

As expected, coming to the Great Spirit Arena to participate in Spirit fights was the right choice; this place truly can temper oneself.

spirit power circulated rapidly within his body, and his body received an all-around boost.

Su Yuntao ducked to avoid the Saber Qi and did not look back to check the actual effect of the attack.

Victory or defeat in battle often happens in an instant.

Regardless of whether the opponent’s soul skill is strong or weak, when facing an opponent or enemy, the primary goal is to defeat or even kill them.

Keeping his father’s teachings in mind, Su Yuntao suddenly erupted, his speed increasing again.

Sharp claws extended from his fingertips, fiercely swiping toward Blade Dragon’s chest.

Clap!

Amidst the roar of muscles and bones, a majestic force struck Blade Dragon, who had subconsciously raised his saber in defense, causing him to stagger backward repeatedly.

Just as Su Yuntao was preparing to follow up, he suddenly felt a chill rise behind him and subconsciously bent over to dodge.

Swoosh!

The Saber Qi swept over the top of his head, then actually turned around and attacked Su Yuntao again.

That’s it?

Su Yuntao felt he might have been too cautious.

He stopped giving the opponent any more chances.

Relying on the Ming Jin he had mastered after his Breakthrough, he sent Blade Dragon flying off the arena with several consecutive claw strikes.

As for those Saber Qi with tracking effects, Brother Tao felt they could be dodged with just a little extra effort…

Clatter!

Clatter!

A hand tossed a gray cloth bag up and down, and the crisp sound of gold coins colliding came from within.

“Hey, you guys, this money is just too easy to earn.”

Su Yuntao felt the heavy gold coins in his hand and was very satisfied.

Originally, the reward for a victory in an Iron Spirit Fight was only ten gold coins.

Unexpectedly, the Great Spirit Arena was exceptionally generous, perhaps wanting to use Su Yuntao’s hype to build momentum, and ultimately gave a reward of one hundred gold coins.

“That only means they earned even more.”

Tang Shan rested his hands behind his head and responded nonchalantly.

“Today is a special case.

Look at normal Iron Spirit Fights; if you lose, you have nothing and even lose the registration fee.

Even if you win, you only get ten gold coins.

In fact, it’s just transferring the loser’s registration fee to the winner, and the remaining ticket fees and food sales are all pure profit.”

“Ten gold coins is not a small amount either; it’s equivalent to my current monthly Spirit Master allowance.”

Su Yuntao didn’t think much about the Great Spirit Arena earning a lot—that was their skill.

“By the way, Little Brother, why did I feel my opponent was exceptionally weak today?”
