"The third soul ring should be a thousand - year - old one, right? Could it be something even higher?" the skinny cat girl speculated in her heart. She involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and her nervousness caused her plump chest to heave violently, creating a rather alluring arc.
However, just as everyone's speculation reached its peak, an unusual light quietly rose.
It was a black soul ring. Its appearance was like a black hole suddenly emerging in the night sky, devouring all the surrounding light and instilling a sense of unfathomable fear.
The soul ring slowly ascended, its black color so deep that it seemed to be able to absorb people's souls, making it hard to look directly at.
In the Spirit Arena, the originally noisy atmosphere instantly solidified. All sounds disappeared, leaving only the sound of the black soul ring rotating in the air.
The audience's gazes were magnetically attracted and couldn't be moved away from the soul ring.
Their faces were filled with shock, and their eyes were wide open in disbelief.
This... was actually a ten - thousand - year soul ring?
It was simply incredible!
Subsequently, a series of gasps echoed throughout the Spirit Arena.
The local landowner in the audience had his eyes widened as big as copper bells, and his mouth opened wide enough to swallow an egg. He was so shocked that he almost forgot to breathe.
In his mind, countless expletives like "damn it" were surging, pounding against his rationality like a tempest.
The gap between six soul rings and five soul rings was originally quite obvious, but in the face of a ten - thousand - year soul ring, this gap became negligible.
A ten - thousand - year soul ring was so powerful that it could enable a one - ring soul master to surpass a six - ring soul master in combat power.
This was a gap that defied common sense.
The fact that one ring could be stronger than six rings was like a sharp sword, piercing deeply into the landowner's heart.
Witnessing all this, the landowner's heart was in turmoil, a mixture of excitement and despair.
He had originally thought that this bet in the spirit battle was a sure - win, but in an instant, it had turned into nothing.
Those five thousand gold soul coins could buy so many good things!
He calculated silently in his heart, feeling as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
"The city is full of tricks. I want to go back to the countryside," the landowner silently lamented in his heart, and a few sad tears quietly slid down from the corners of his eyes.
In the Grand Spirit Arena, the tense atmosphere was almost enough to solidify the air.
"The arrow is at the bowstring and has to be shot. I didn't expect this little handsome guy to have such a huge reserve of strength,"
A flash of cunning passed through the skinny cat girl's eyes, and the corners of her mouth curved upwards slightly, carrying a bit of provocation and curiosity.
As soon as the words fell, the skinny cat girl's figure instantly turned into a blur. Her legs, like springs, bounced on the spirit battle stage, generating gusts of wind.
Like a sharp blade, she swiftly cut through the air, charging towards Chen Feng and Zhu Zhuqing at a speed that was difficult to catch.
Along with her movement, the first two soul rings emitted a brilliant light, like two new moons coldly blooming under the night sky.
The sharp and cold claw shadows, several bright silver rays, tore through the air and slashed towards the positions where Chen Feng and Zhu Zhuqing were.
There was a faint cracking sound in the air, bringing a piercing chill.
However, Chen Feng remained standing still, like a statue, allowing the surrounding noise and tense atmosphere to swirl around him.
Seeing that her attack was about to succeed, the skinny cat girl secretly felt proud, and a smile unconsciously crept onto the corner of her mouth.
In her opinion, although this prodigy might be unrivaled in terms of soul rings, he was a novice with negligible experience.
Her heart was filled with the joy of victory. She seemed to have already seen the moment when Chen Feng fell. In her mind, she painted a picture of the post - victory scenario, imagining how to make this little handsome guy submit to her charm.
The sharp claws came through the air, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound. As they were about to pierce through Chen Feng's body, the crowd in the stands exclaimed in succession. They held their breath for Chen Feng, thinking that in the face of such an attack, there might not even be room for evasion.
The local landowner's heart was pounding like a drum, rising and falling like a roller - coaster. Optimistic emotions surged in his chest.
His bet, his wealth, at this moment seemed to see a glimmer of hope for a comeback. Greedy lights flickered in his eyes.
However, at this critical moment, a faint, almost imperceptible smile curled up at the corner of Chen Feng's mouth...
On the spirit battle stage, a stage woven with both iron - blood and glory, the gazes of every audience member converged into the most dazzling beams, firmly focused on the two contestants in the center. The air was filled with a tense atmosphere so thick that it seemed almost tangible.
"First soul skill, Dou Qi Gauze Garment."
Chen Feng's voice, though soft, exploded like thunder next to everyone's ears.
As these four words were softly uttered, the air on the Spirit Battle Stage seemed to tremble. The purple Dou Qi, like stars falling to the mortal world, went from intangible to thick and solid. In an instant, it bloomed splendidly with him at the center.
The Dou Qi Gauze Garment was not just a form of protection but also a powerful symbol.
It drew power from the soul power within Chen Feng's body, as if he had donned a magnificent robe woven from stars, flowing with a mysterious and dazzling purple radiance.
This layer of gauze tightly protected Chen Feng, as if it were his second skin, resonating 奇妙地 with every breath and every heartbeat of his.
At this moment, all eyes on and around the Spirit Battle Stage froze. Everyone held their breath, and the same question surged in their hearts: Could this layer of gauze woven from Dou Qi withstand the fierce attack that was about to come?
The entire arena was enveloped in an unprecedentedly tense atmosphere, waiting for that moment.
"Ding..."
When the sharp claws made contact with the Dou Qi Gauze Garment, a series of dazzling sparks burst out, like fireworks blooming in the night sky, beautiful yet dangerous.
The sparks scattered, illuminating the entire Spirit Battle Stage and also reflecting Chen Feng's calm and determined face.
However, to everyone's surprise, even faced with such a fierce attack, Chen Feng remained standing still, as stable as a mountain.
His body leaned forward slightly, and the purple streamer on the Dou Qi Gauze Garment became even more dazzling under the attack, as if proclaiming to everyone that this layer of defense was indestructible.
The skinny cat girl's attack, although extremely violent, simply could not penetrate this layer of gauze woven from Dou Qi.
Each impact of the sharp claws only made the light on the Dou Qi Gauze Garment more eye - catching, while Chen Feng's figure, against the backdrop of the purple Dou Qi, appeared even more tall and majestic.
"Your soul skill is a bit underwhelming," Chen Feng said lightly, as if he were talking about the weather, with a hint of faint mockery in his eyes.
"Mind your own business," the skinny cat girl retorted with obvious anger, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes.
"Next, it'll only take me three moves to finish you off," Chen Feng said, the corners of his mouth curving upwards slightly, revealing a confident smile.
