Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Watching Soul Battle is the only opportunity for ordinary people to have close contact with Soul Masters.

It's important to understand that Soul Masters on the mainland are arrogant; they look down on ordinary people, and ordinary people feel they are not good enough for them. Of course, there are no such rules in the Soul Arena; ordinary people can watch Soul Masters fight as long as they pay.

The shipyard that organized this arena competition wanted to attract ordinary people to watch the battles for free in order to achieve a publicity effect.

Although soul tools are rare, in a place like Hanhai City, they are somewhat impractical.

Sea spirit masters possess excellent swimming skills and can go to sea without a boat. Most fishermen, on the other hand, are ordinary people and cannot use spirit-guided ships.

As a result, small boats like the Soul Guidance Speedboat are not valuable in themselves.

Speedboats are small and can be capsized by a single wave, making them far inferior to lifeboats.

Besides, they have their own rules, and the prize might not even be awarded.

The shipyard's target customers are ordinary fishermen who want to own private boats, and this battleground caters to the appetite of potential customers.

The rules of the arena are simple: the winner defends the title, and if a player wins ten consecutive matches, they win the grand prize—a Soul Guide Speedboat.

Starting from winning six consecutive matches, there will be rewards afterward, but it's just a matter of how many Gold Soul Coins you get.

Qian Gu Chang Kong squeezed through the crowd, arrived at the registration area, and shouted, "I want to register!"

The inhabitants of Hanhai City, exposed to the elements year-round, have dark, dry skin. Qian Gu Chang Kong, however, stands out from the crowd with his distinctive appearance.

Although his skin wasn't as smooth as Wu Qi's, it was still much better than that of fishermen who often did manual labor.

"Young man, you must be from the mainland. Our battle rules and arenas are different from those on the mainland. Would you like to take another look?"

The ancient sky had long since devised a countermeasure, so there was no reason for it to back down.

"No need, I'm a Soul Master too. And there's no one else going up to the arena right now, so you can't just not let me play, can you?"

There's no reason to prevent others from entering the arena when it's set up under the watchful eyes of everyone.

The person in charge of registration was just offering a well-intentioned reminder.

Soon, Qian Gu Chang Kong completed his registration and entered the arena amidst cheers from the crowd.

The burly man on the arena has already achieved five consecutive victories. If he wins against Eternal Sky, he will at least receive a bonus of one hundred gold soul coins.

The tournament organizers certainly didn't want the prize money to be taken away so easily. However, since Qian Gu Chang Kong insisted on participating, they couldn't stop him. They could only hope that the man would leave after getting one hundred gold soul coins, or that Qian Gu Chang Kong would break his winning streak.

After all, this is just a publicity arena. If you can achieve the publicity effect without spending a penny, that would be ideal.

The arena was a large pool of water, and Qian Gu Chang Kong sat on the edge without going into the water.

The man's martial spirit is a strangely shaped fish. When the martial spirit is possessed, his lower body transforms into a fish tail, allowing him to float freely on the water's surface.

"Hey kid, the competition's about to start, aren't you going to get in the water?"

Land-based Soul Masters are almost entirely unsuitable for swimming. Even if a Land-based Soul Master is of a higher level than a Sea-based Soul Master, the outcome of an underwater battle is far from certain.

Conversely, in land battles, sea spirit masters are no match for land spirit masters.

Qian Gu Chang Kong was no fool to become a Contra powerhouse; he understood the principle of playing to his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses.

He then took out a long metal rod from his soul tool.

The training staff used throughout the ages has undergone several iterations and upgrades, and now it is a heavy silver staff personally crafted by Lou Gao.

The hardness of the silver was such that even at the Super Douluo stage, it could still be used. Seeing this, the man couldn't help but ask, "Young brother, this isn't your martial soul, is it? Do you think my Soul King strength is just for show if I don't fight with my martial soul?"

A smile appeared on Qian Gu Chang Kong's lips. He casually tossed the long staff into the air, then it crashed down like a meteorite.

The powerful surge stirred up all the seawater in the pool, giving the audience a free swim in the sea.

In an instant, only a tiny bit of seawater remained in the pool, barely reaching ankle level.

With a casual flick of his wrist, Qian Gu Chang Kong sent the heavy silver cudgel back into his hand. He smiled faintly and asked, "The annoying seawater is gone, now we can have a proper fight."

The man looked solemn.

Having become a Soul King, he gained a profound understanding of the strength of Soul Masters.

Even if the ancient sky before us is not of a high level in terms of soul power, its mastery of the staff is definitely no weaker than that of some Soul Emperors or even Soul Saints.

Without seawater, the advantages of the Sea Soul Master cannot be utilized, but similarly, since Qian Gu Chang Kong did not use his Martial Soul, the situation remained even.

The organizers of the arena were overjoyed to see this.

If they break that man's winning streak, they won't have to spend any more Gold Soul Coins.

As the match began, the man took the lead in using his soul skill to launch an attack. Qian Gu Chang Kong remained calm and was not intimidated at all. He wielded his heavy silver staff rapidly and easily repelled the man.

……

As Qian Gu Chang Kong's good brother, Wu Qi clearly felt that Qian Gu Chang Kong's strength had improved a lot since then.

In particular, the destructive power of a top-tier heavy martial spirit like the Panlong Staff increases exponentially after reaching a high level.

If it were on a battlefield, once the Panlong Staff falls, any city wall would crumble.

Qian Gu Chang Kong on the arena didn't rush to end the match; instead, he began to give pointers to the man.

While watching the battle, Wu Qi also kept an eye on the surrounding movements.

With his mental strength, he could see everything that happened in Hanhai City if he wanted to.

But he wouldn't do that unless there was a reason. There are so many people in the city, and the amount of information generated is enormous. Processing all this information would be extremely energy-consuming.

Just now, he only used his senses slightly and heard something incredible.

The two managers of the shipyard that hosted the arena mentioned Poseidon Island while chatting in hushed tones.

Driven by curiosity, Wu Qi quietly released his spiritual perception to probe the conversation between the two.

The well-dressed, middle-aged man with a prosperous appearance whispered, "I heard that two successors to the Saint Pillar Douluo have appeared on the island, as well as a Red-level examiner."

The young man beside him seemed unfazed. "Father, it's just a change of contact person. I've already prepared the next batch of supplies. When should I arrange for someone to deliver them?"

It's currently fishing season, and most boats have already gone to sea. Only the Chai family and some large boats owned by individual boat owners are still docked in the port.

They certainly couldn't trust individual boats, so they wanted to send supplies to Haishen Island through the Chai family.

Without a doubt, this shipyard is Poseidon Island's spy in Hanhai City.

That makes sense. Poseidon Island is isolated overseas and lacks resources. To maintain its large population, it would be necessary to transport supplies from the outside world.

The shipyard's owner was an agent they had promoted. (End of Chapter)
