Douluo Continent: Now that everyone's been reborn, who's still going to be a simp?

Although Yan's fiery aura had subsided somewhat, his dark red eyes, disdainful gaze, and the intermittently appearing flame patterns on his neck still revealed his unruly temperament.

The host suddenly announced in a loud voice:

"Both contestants, please release your martial spirits and spirit rings. The match will officially begin in one minute!"

As soon as the host finished speaking, Zhao Qiang began to take heavy steps.

He stomped heavily on the arena with great force, and a powerful aura suddenly rose from his body.

With a loud roar, Zhao Qiang's energy exploded, transforming into a massive rhinoceros.

The rhinoceros was massive, with thick limbs and wild glints in its eyes. The powerful aura emanating from it made the entire arena seem solemn.

Almost at the same time, Zhao Qiang's four spirit rings, three yellow and one purple, were also released.

The combined power of the Rhino Martial Soul and its Soul Rings gave him an aura of unparalleled arrogance.

The audience members, sensing the powerful atmosphere, exclaimed in amazement.

Yan also unleashed his martial soul and soul rings without showing any weakness.

A ball of flame slowly rose from behind him, gradually coalescing into a phantom image of a fire-man.

Four dazzling spirit rings, two yellow and two purple, surrounded him.

The audience was stunned by what they saw.

This large battle arena is located next to Tianshui City, which has a large number of water-attribute soul masters, so many fire-attribute soul masters also come to challenge it.

They had seen many fire-attribute soul masters display their martial souls before, but this was the first time they had ever seen such a strange fire-attribute martial soul.

The fire-man that rose behind Yan looked more like a half-orc with six horns.

Chapter 28 A One-Minute Victory

Among fire-attribute soul masters, humanoid fire spirits and Naruto-style martial souls are not uncommon.

But Yan's martial soul is the top-tier ancient beast martial soul, Flame Lord, an extremely rare martial soul.

Most Soul Masters have never seen it before, let alone ordinary viewers.

Upon seeing Yan's spirit ring configuration, Zhao Qiang was taken aback.

The audience started discussing it again.

"It's actually the best spirit ring configuration. It seems that kid has quite the talent."

"However, judging from his young age, he probably doesn't have much combat experience."

"Yes, Zhao Qiang's soul power has reached level 47, which is enough to deal with that kid."

At the host's signal, the competition officially began.

Zhao Qiang scoffed:

"Kid, my soul power has reached level forty-seven. Even if you are fire-attribute, you can't beat me. It's not too late to admit defeat now. Get out of here!"

"Only level 47, and you dare to talk so arrogantly here?"

"Hmph! You little brat, you won't listen to reason, so don't blame me for being impolite. I'm going to beat the shit out of you today!"

"You big idiot, you're about to become a roasted rhinoceros! Stop talking nonsense and get to work!"

After being verbally insulted by that guy, Yan retorted without hesitation.

Enraged by Yan's angry rebuke, Zhao Qiang's first spirit ring suddenly lit up, and he rushed towards Yan at an extremely fast speed.

That powerful aura seemed to make the entire arena tremble.

Upon seeing this, Yan leaped into the air, his entire body flashing out like a red ray of light.

When he reappeared, he was already directly behind the giant rhinoceros.

Almost simultaneously, Yan's third spirit ring lit up, and his third spirit skill, Hellfire, erupted instantly.

The raging flames instantly enveloped the giant rhinoceros.

With a thud, a yellow light suddenly rose from beneath the rhinoceros's feet, quickly enveloping its massive body and forming a defensive layer.

"You think this little bit of firepower can hurt me? You're dreaming!"

As soon as Zhao Qiang finished speaking, he felt a scorching power coming from beneath his feet.

Before he could react, a pillar of extremely hot magma shot up from beneath his feet and slammed straight into his massive body.

That was Yan's first soul skill, Hell Magma Rush.

The massive energy surge instantly shattered the barrier of light that enveloped Zhao Qiang's body.

The scorching hot magma pillar struck him, causing him excruciating pain. He let out a scream and staggered backward.

Before Zhao Qiang could even regain his footing, a heavy, fiery fist slammed into his face, followed by several kicks to his chest.

Its massive body slammed heavily against the edge of the arena.

"Get out of here!"

Yan showed no mercy and delivered another kick, sending him flying off the stage.

After a muffled thud, the entire audience fell silent.

It all happened so suddenly.

The whole process took less than a minute.

Everyone was stunned by what had just happened.

Who would have thought that the young Soul Master who looked only in his teens would defeat the level 47 Battle Soul Master so easily?

"Is this the end?"

"That young Soul Master is amazing! He won so easily."

Yan glanced at the host, who was still in a daze, and said calmly:

"Host, the match is over. You may announce the results now."

"okay."

The host then loudly announced:

"The match is over. Yanluo Battle Soul Sect has won, with a record of one win and zero losses! Respected Battle Soul Sect Master, please go to the service desk to collect your points and rewards."

"it is good."

The audience seemed reluctant to believe what had just happened, still wanting more.

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Yan left the arena without looking back.

On the other side of the ring, Zhao Qiang had been helped up by several staff members. He had extensive burns on his body, and without a therapist, it would take at least half a month for his injuries to heal, and he would also be left with scars.

Afterwards, Yan went to the service desk to collect his points and ten gold soul coins as a reward.

Yue Guan also happened to walk out of the audience area. The two smiled at each other and left the Great Soul Arena.

As soon as he stepped out the door, Yue Guan laughed:

"Kid, it seems you've really improved a lot. Even without using external soul bones, you can still beat your opponents to a pulp."

"Yes, after half a year of special training, our combat skills have improved a lot. I have also gradually mastered how to defeat stronger opponents while conserving as much soul power as possible."

Yue Guan nodded slightly, quite satisfied.

"Lin Zhendong is indeed skilled at cultivating talent; otherwise, he wouldn't have become your mentor."

"You're right."

"Let's go, it's time for us to go back."

"Ah."

The two then returned to the hotel.

After Yan finished his cultivation, he reviewed the flowers and herbs in the "Record of Strange Flowers and Herbs" that might appear in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, and then went to sleep.

The next day, after dinner, Yan and Yue Guan returned to the Great Soul Arena.

The medicinal effects of that ice grass silkworm bead have lasted for twelve hours.

Before entering the Great Soul Arena, Yan took the other one as well.

This was intentional on his part; once he finished the two Ice Grass Silkworm Beads, he could find a suitable excuse to go to Sunset Forest.

Upon entering the Great Soul Arena, the receptionist immediately recognized Yan.

"Respected King Yama, greetings. Are you here again to participate in the competition tonight?"

"Yes. I want to sign up for the one-on-one competition."

"Alright. After last night's battle, you've already made a name for yourself in our Soul Arena."

"is it?"

"That's right. It only took less than a minute to defeat a level 47 Soul Master. This has never happened before in our Tox Grand Soul Arena."
