Civilian Soul Masters in Douluo World

Chapter 257 Iron Warrior's Fighting Spirit

"Don't worry, I know," Tie Wu replied.

The two are nominally fellow disciples, but their relationship in private is just so-so.

Tie Wu has exceptional talent and is popular with women, so Lu Er is naturally jealous of him.

Watching Tie Wu's departing figure, Lu Er couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.

"What's so great about a Soul Master who comes from a commoner background?"

Lul was born into a noble family in the northern city. His upbringing instilled in him a subconscious disdain for any commoner.

Tie Wu arrived at the food stall, and the stall owner immediately recognized the young Soul Master in front of him. He often came to his stall to eat, and thanks to his patronage, the local thugs dared not harass him.

"Uncle, three bowls of wontons."

"Okay, coming right away," the uncle replied enthusiastically.

Because of Tie Wu's frequent patronage, he was able to set up his stall and earn money with peace of mind, so he always gave Tie Wu generous portions of wontons.

Soon, three bowls of hot wontons were served, and their delicious aroma whetted Tie Wu's appetite.

While eating large mouthfuls of wontons, Tie Wu asked indistinctly.

"Uncle, have they been harassing you again lately?"

The "they" that Tie Wu was referring to were the local thugs.

"No, no, they don't dare to come anymore," the uncle quickly replied.

"That's good."

After finishing three bowls of wontons, Tie Wu left ten copper soul coins on the table and got up to leave.

Instead of returning to the Spirit Hall, they went straight to the Great Spirit Arena.

Having just broken through level 40, he wouldn't normally go to the Grand Soul Arena. In individual Soul Battles, most of the Soul Masters he encounters are level 45 or higher, while he is only level 41, putting him at a disadvantage in terms of Soul Power level, so his chances of winning are not high.

For example, when I broke through to the third ring Soul Master level, I would only go to the Great Soul Arena after reaching level thirty-five.

But this time is different. He absorbed a soul bone, which greatly improved him and could completely make up for the gap in soul power level.

This battle can also be used to assess one's own combat strength.

Upon entering the Great Soul Arena, Tie Wu immediately signed up for tonight's individual Soul Battle.

Before that, a simple level and soul power level test will be conducted.

The matchmaking system in the Grand Arena is very well-developed. After waiting in the rest area for a while, a staff member came to lead Tie Wu to the personal arena.

The host on stage enthusiastically introduced both sides, eliciting cheers from the audience.

At the host's signal, both sides stepped onto the fighting stage.

"Shi Zhong, level 48, a powerful attack-type Battle Soul Master."

"Iron Martial, Level 41, Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master."

Opposite Tie Wu was a burly, bald man with a deep scar on his head. The scar made his originally honest face look even more ferocious.

When the bald, burly man heard that Tie Wu's soul power level was only level 41, a cold smile crept onto his lips. The seven-level difference in soul power gave him a significant advantage.

"The soul fighting begins!"

As the referee announced the start of the battle, both sides released their martial spirits and spirit rings.

One white, one yellow, and two purple—the bald, burly man's martial spirit was a bear-type martial spirit. Upon entering the martial spirit possession state, his already imposing body swelled even further.

"Roar"

With a roar, his size truly resembled that of a bear-like spirit beast.

Compared to the bald, burly man, Tie Wu appeared much shorter.

However, the best soul ring configuration of two yellow and two purple rings is more eye-catching than that of the bald giant.

The first and third spirit rings on Tie Wu's body lit up. First spirit skill: Flame!
Third Soul Skill: Fiery Wolf!

The first soul skill is an attribute enhancement, with attacks inflicting fire damage. The third soul skill is a comprehensive enhancement of attack, burst damage, and attributes. As a thousand-year soul skill, the enhancement effect of the third soul skill is very obvious.

Wisps of flame enveloped Tie Wu's entire body as he leaped up and appeared directly above the bald giant with incredible speed, his fiery wolf claws striking towards his face.

Faced with Tie Wu's sudden attack, the bald giant was very experienced. His second spirit ring lit up, and his fur gleamed with a metallic sheen.

He planned to confront Tie Wu's attack head-on, and he was very confident in his defense.

His thick arms are crossed, forming a simple defensive stance.

"呲呲"

The wolf claws struck his arms, sending sparks flying. The bald, burly man snorted coldly. The situation was as he had predicted. Iron Warrior hadn't broken through the defense, so it was now his turn to attack.

Tie Wu showed no sign of panic. He suddenly exerted force with his wolf claws, and fierce flames were released.

"huhu"

The attack power of the wolf claws has been greatly increased.

"What?" The bald, burly man's expression changed. He could feel the searing pain as his defenses were breached by the iron weapon.

Without time to hesitate, the fourth spirit ring lit up, also a thousand-year spirit ring, but with a thousand-year spirit skill of an even higher age.

His aura grew powerful, and he opened his mouth wide, letting out a deep roar.

The fourth soul skill, roar with anger!

The closer the distance, the longer the dizziness lasted. Tie Wu felt as if his consciousness was being detached, and he fell into a state of dizziness.

"Pfft"

He felt a sharp, dull pain in his chest, and his body flew backward uncontrollably, rolling several times on the fighting platform.

Having just escaped the dizziness, he had taken a hit from the bald giant, inflicting serious injuries on himself.

"Huh? You can still stand up?"

The bald, burly man was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Tie Wu to be able to stand up again.

"But it's alright, you're so badly injured, you can't possibly be a match for me."

The bald, burly man believed he could easily handle Tie Wu. His first spirit ring lit up, and a white light surged onto his arms, making them even thicker.

"tread"

The bald, burly man planted one foot on the ground, his massive body pressing down on Tie Wu like a small mountain.

Tie Wu stared intently as the bald, burly man drew closer and closer, until the distance between them was only two meters.

The fourth spirit ring lit up. This was the fourth spirit ring that Tie Wu obtained by absorbing the Flame Tiger. If he had not absorbed the right arm spirit bone and obtained the Explosive Flame characteristic, this fourth spirit skill might not have had such powerful attack power.

Fourth Soul Skill: Heavy Flame Shattering Strike!

Flames condensed and compressed on Tie Wu's right fist, all in pursuit of a powerful final attack.

The Explosive Flame trait greatly increases the damage dealt by the fourth Soul Skill.

The absorbed soul bone is the right arm soul bone, and the fourth soul skill is condensed in the right fist to maximize the attack.

The bald, burly man sensed this terrifying aura and tried to release his third spirit ring to protect himself, but it was too late.

"boom"

Like a pillar of fire shooting into the sky, the powerful attack landed on the bald, burly man.

The moment the flames disappeared, the bald, burly man collapsed onto the Soul Fighting Platform, his body suffering extensive burns.

The outcome of this battle is already quite clear.
