Douluo: I am an evil soul master, working from nine to five in the Tang Sect

Chapter 76 Monster
"The reason why I can defeat the Four-ring Soul Sect is just to take care of the freshmen in the class, so that they won't be hit by me. To be honest, with my current strength, I can face the Five-ring Soul King without any problems."

Walking to the entrance of the fighting spirit arena, Luo Chen smiled indifferently and explained to Taian.

"Five, Five-Ring Soul King?"

Hearing Luo Chen's words, Tai'an seemed to be stunned on the spot. He knew Luo Chen's character well, and he always said 50% of what he was sure of. Since the other party has now claimed that he can face a Five-Ring Soul King directly, then his real fighting power must be able to defeat even a Five-Ring Soul King!
Even though he had heard the answer he wanted from Luo Chen's mouth, Tai'an was still even more confused.

"The cultivation level of a three-ring soul master is enough to defeat a five-ring soul king... Chenzi, you are really a monster!"

That's right, there are two whole realms between the three-ring Soul Master and the five-ring Soul King. Such terrifying combat power can't be described as "fighting across levels" at all!
However, facing Tai'an's surprised look, Luo Chen just smiled and asked back:
"Don't you think you can do it, Lao Tai? With your current cultivation as a second-ring Great Spirit Master and your thousand-year spirit ring, if you add the unique skills of the Tang Sect, I'm afraid even a fourth-ring Great Spirit Master would not be your opponent, right?"

In Luo Chen's opinion, the reason why Tai'an was so surprised was that he was not confident in his own strength. The reason why the Titan Giant Ape Martial Spirit had never appeared in human history was because it was simply not something that a normal person could endure.

Just like a martial soul with ultimate attributes like the Ice Scorpion, the power it possesses is completely beyond the scope of the realm. If an ordinary person really awakens this kind of martial soul, he will definitely burst because he cannot withstand the power contained in the martial soul!

That is, Tai'an's own Titan Giant Ape martial soul "autonomously" developed a congenital martial soul defect when it just awakened. This is why he was not killed by the powerful force contained in the martial soul when it just awakened!

And now, after Taian's own Titan Giant Ape martial soul has made up for its congenital defects and broken through to the level of a great soul master, the terrifying potential hidden deep in his body has also been partially stimulated.

Don't underestimate the potential of this "part". In Luo Chen's eyes, Tai'an, who has now broken through to the level of a second-ring great soul master, has a vitality that is several times stronger than before he broke through!
Life breath can almost be equated with one's own combat power. The stronger the life breath, the more outrageous the combat power. Previously, Xu Sanshi's own life breath had already exceeded the scope of the Three-Ring Soul Master, and at this moment, Taian's life breath was almost the same as Xu Sanshi's!

If Tai'an could truly discover the special features of his Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul, then even an ordinary four-ringed Soul Master would not be his match!

But obviously, Taian hadn't realized this yet. When he heard Luo Chen's unprovoked praise, he was stunned for a moment, and then responded:

"Chenzi, are you kidding me? I am only at level 24 in soul power cultivation now. How can I possibly defeat a four-ring soul master? Aren't your expectations of me a bit too high?"

However, Luo Chen did not explain, but pointed to the fighting arena in front of him and said:

"Let's not talk about whether it's high or not. Don't you want to thoroughly verify your current strength? I don't know who said before that you would slap me hard in the face and avenge me after the breakthrough. You won't give up now, right?"

Before, in the Star Dou Great Forest, Tai'an said that after returning to the academy, he would slap him hard in the face in the fighting arena. Luo Chen still remembers this.

However, when Tai'an heard Luo Chen's words, his mouth twitched. He had just said those words casually because his strength had skyrocketed after breaking through to the Great Soul Master level. But he never thought that Luo Chen would remember them firmly in his heart.

Now after knowing Luo Chen's true strength, Tai'an no longer had any temper. With his current strength, which even a Four-Ring Soul Sect would find difficult to defeat, how could he fight against Luo Chen, who possessed a soul skill of ten thousand years and was a whole realm higher than himself?
What a joke!
But now that the words have been spoken, given his character, even if he is beaten to the point of doubting his life and unable to take care of himself, he must fulfill his lofty words.

"Since you said so, let's give it a try, but remember to be gentle. At least let me exert my strongest strength first, otherwise I don't know if I can defeat the Four Ring Soul Sect!"

Although he said this, Taian still felt a little guilty at the moment and couldn't help but add this sentence.

He was really afraid that he would be defeated by Luo Chen right after entering the arena, before he could even use his newly acquired soul skills. That would be too frustrating.

However, Luo Chen nodded generously, agreed to his request, and echoed:

"You can't beat me anyway, so do whatever you want. But remember to use your strongest strength, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand even one of my moves..."

"Tsk, you, how come you become so arrogant after breaking through to Soul Master? You'd better not let me catch you, or you'll be in trouble!"

As the two were talking, a somewhat familiar figure appeared in front of them, and stared at Luo Chen in front of him with an extremely fiery gaze.

"I didn't expect that after yesterday's battle, you would come again today, Luo Chen. Are you betting with a certain classmate this time?"

Hearing this, Luo Chen was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered something. The middle-aged man in front of him, whose life breath was comparable to that of a seven-ring soul saint, was he not the referee of his previous duel with Xu Sanshi?
But it was obvious that the other party had misunderstood something. Luo Chen couldn't help but explain with a smile:
"That's not the case. I don't gamble with others every day. It's just that I have made a breakthrough, so I came to the fighting arena with my friends to spar with them and see what level we have reached."

"breakthrough?"

After Luo Chen finished speaking, a look of surprise appeared on the middle-aged man's face. If he remembered correctly, Luo Chen was only a two-ring great soul master yesterday, but today he said that he had made a breakthrough?
"Could it be that in just one day, you have already broken through level 30 and successfully ascended to the Three-Ring Soul Master?"

The middle-aged man said in disbelief.

However, Luo Chen nodded without hiding anything. But the next moment he suddenly thought of something and asked the middle-aged man:
"I have indeed made a breakthrough, but I would like to ask if there is a better hidden venue in the academy's fighting spirit arena. Due to some special reasons, it is not convenient for me to reveal my true strength now..."

"Hmm? Of course there is. There is a secret fighting arena under the fighting arena. However, it is usually used by senior students or inner courtyard students. The fee is much higher. Are you sure?"

If it was another freshman from the outer courtyard, the middle-aged man might have rejected it outright, but at this moment he was facing Luo Chen, who had just defeated Xu Sanshi not long ago and his strength was obvious to all.

At this moment, Luo Chen had already broken through to the three-ring Soul Master level. The middle-aged man naturally knew that after the breakthrough, his strength would definitely be greatly improved, so he roughly guessed Luo Chen's thoughts, which was that he did not want to expose his strength because of the competition.

However, there was a hint of curiosity in the middle-aged man's eyes. Luo Chen, who was only a second-ring Great Soul Master before, was able to defeat Xu Sanshi, a high-level Soul Master. So what kind of strength would he have now that he is a third-ring Soul Master? "Yes, I'm sure."

Luo Chen didn't care at all about the fees, since it wasn't his to pay for anyway.

However, the middle-aged man in front of him was silent for a moment, then he spoke:

"Since you want to test your own strength, you don't need to pay for the use of this place. I'll give it to you for free, but only this time."

"Huh? Why is that?"

Hearing that the middle-aged man was offering the venue to them for free, Luo Chen and Tai'an both showed surprise in their eyes. They both understood that there is no free lunch in the world, and since the other party said so, there must be a reason.

"Haha, there's no reason. The venue is empty anyway, so I might as well make use of it. This will be my reward to the talented student."

Looking at Luo Chen and Tai'an in front of him, the middle-aged man first smiled, and then spoke casually.

With his authority in the Fighting Spirit Arena, he could naturally waive the venue fees for the two of them at will. However, there was one thing he did not point out, and that was yesterday's match between Luo Chen and Xu Sanshi.

The "ticket" fees that the Fighting Spirit Arena earned from the students who watched the game were dozens of times the cost of the venue, so the middle-aged man naturally did not care about the venue fee.

This small amount of venue fee is far less important than making friends with a future powerful soul master.

After saying that, he took Luo Chen and Tai'an and walked in from the stairs of the fighting spirit arena one after another, and came to the bottom of the fighting spirit arena, a deeper fighting spirit arena.

Compared to the fighting spirit arena on the upper level which was surrounded by the audience seats, the ground and defense facilities of this venue were obviously more solid. The surrounding walls were made of special soul-guiding metal, which could at least withstand the attacks of the Soul King level!

"We're here. This is the place specially set up by the academy for training and instruction of senior students and inner courtyard students. Because the building materials of the place are special, it can even block a certain amount of mental power, so you don't need to worry about the secrecy and safety here, just go ahead and do whatever you want."

Having said that, the middle-aged man silently retreated to the outermost edge of the venue and hid his figure. If Luo Chen had not been able to see the breath of life on his body through his own life detection ability, Luo Chen would have thought that the other party had already left.

However, Luo Chen did not say much about the middle-aged man's behavior. As a referee of the Fighting Spirit Arena, he not only has to ensure the fairness of the competition and sparring, but also needs to ensure the safety of the students themselves.

Therefore, even though Luo Chen had specifically stated that he did not want to expose his strength, the middle-aged man still had to make preparations outside the venue so that he could come to the rescue as soon as possible.

"Come on, just go all out and show me how strong you are now."

After the middle-aged man disappeared, Luo Chen hooked his finger at Tai'an in front of him, still looking calm and composed.

"Hey, Chenzi, you better watch out!"

Seeing how Luo Chen looked down on him, Tai'an was not annoyed by his provocative behavior, and a smile also appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The next moment, a majestic aura emanated from his body. At the same time, the school uniform he was wearing also broke apart, revealing his muscles that had become as strong as a humanoid soul beast due to the possession of his martial spirit.

As soon as Tai'an released his martial soul, Luo Chen clearly noticed the changes in the other party. His physical fitness increased dramatically in almost an instant.

Tai'an, who already possessed the physical fitness of a Soul Master under normal circumstances, now has even more exaggerated strength after being possessed by the martial soul.

To put it bluntly, even Beibei, who possesses the top-level offensive spirit, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus, may not be able to compare with Taian in terms of strength now!
"What a terrifying power!"

The middle-aged man hiding at the edge of the venue was also shocked after seeing this scene.

After sensing the soul power fluctuations emanating from the other party, which belonged to a second-ring great soul master, he had not taken the other party seriously, but now he has changed his original idea.

Being able to possess the physical strength that only ordinary four-ring soul masters can possess at the level of a second-ring great soul master, even if he does not release his own soul skills, he can easily defeat these outer courtyard freshmen, right?
But what shocked him even more was what happened next. As Taian's body suddenly grew in size, two spirit rings of different colors rose up under his feet...

"Millennium Soul Ring?!"

After seeing the purple soul ring emerging under his feet, the middle-aged man couldn't help but exclaimed. There was nothing wrong with the first soul ring being yellow, but how come the second soul ring was directly a purple thousand-year soul ring?

Looking at the tall figure in front of him whose aura was becoming more and more terrifying, the middle-aged man couldn't help swallowing. Now he understood why Luo Chen, who had already broken through to the third-ring Soul Master level, would deliberately enter the Soul Fighting Arena to compete with a second-ring Great Soul Master.

"Only monsters can fight monsters..."
