Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Mysterious Heavy Ruler

Chapter 55 Hell's Killing Field

Next, the woman in black veil continued leading Xiao Yi towards the Hell Slaughter Arena. Guided by the woman, Xiao Yi saw a peculiar building. The building was circular, or more accurately, an asymmetrical cone. It was largest at the bottom and narrowed towards the top. Only at a height of approximately thirty meters did it maintain the same diameter, extending upwards to fifty meters.

The black building gave off a very oppressive feeling. The girl in the black veil explained to Xiao Yi that this hellish killing ground was located in the very center of the entire Killing City. This showed just how important it was within Killing City.

Upon entering the Hell Slaughter Arena, Xiao Yi registered. Since the previous round had just started, Xiao Yi needed to wait a while.

Afterwards, Xiao Yi went to the stands to watch the game and casually found a place to sit down.

The people in the stands were very excited because they loved watching this kind of game.

The arena is square in shape, ten meters long and ten meters wide. The edges of the arena are made of steel bars and are divided into ten entrances.

After the referee announced his departure, the ten men began to fight.

This competition was composed of the Blade Demon, who ranked forty-fifth in the Hell Slaughter Arena with thirty-five wins, and others with seven or eight wins. The Blade Demon's martial soul was a Blood Fiend Blade. According to the people here, he cultivated by relying on human blood, and then he was wanted and brought to the Slaughter City.

The battle began, and the other nine surrounded the Blade Demon and attacked him. It took the Blade Demon a while to defeat them, and in an instant, limbs and pieces of flesh were scattered all over the ground. Then the host announced the Blade Demon's victory.

After the victory was announced, Xiao Yi felt the fluctuation of soul power. It turned out that after killing someone in the Hell Slaughter Arena, some soul power would be fed back to the winner, while most of the soul power was absorbed by the arena.

"Next, please welcome 9527, 1438, 2306... and others to the stage."

At this moment, Xiao Yi's name was called, and Xiao Yi stood up and went on stage.

After Xiao Yi took the stage, the other nine people followed suit one by one.

"Kid, newbie here, I'll make sure you die without any pain in a minute, hahaha!" one of them said.

"Little one, Uncle will be gentle with you later."

Seeing that Xiao Yi looked young and good-looking, the people on the stage said some very offensive things.

"The match begins!"

The host then announced the start of the competition.

After the match started, Xiao Yi made the first move, giving no one else any time to react.

He suddenly appeared to the side of a person, then gave that person a foot's width of space, sending them to their death.

"Go! Surround him!" The other eight men saw that Xiao Yi was so decisive and charged directly at him.

Unfortunately, it was no use. Xiao Yi continued to dodge with explosive steps, connecting with a foot-long attack, and interspersed with an eighth-level collapse attack to finish off the remaining eight people.

The battle ended quickly, leaving the host speechless. He had never seen a newcomer act so decisively. Most people struggle in the Hell Slaughter Arena, but Xiao Yi's ease was beyond his expectations.

"Contestant 9527 wins." The host, regaining his composure, then announced the victory.

"9527! 9527!" The audience in the stands also chanted Xiao Yi's number. This match was truly a feast for the eyes.

Xiao Yi stood on the arena absorbing the soul power of the dead. Although it was very little, even a small amount was still something, wasn't it?

Xiao Yi then stepped down from the stage and left the killing field. Since the battle had not taken much of his strength, no one attacked him.

After leaving the killing field, Xiao Yi wandered around the inner city for a while. On the streets, there were skin and bones, barely clinging to life; there were people doing shameful things; and there was even a couple who, after having just finished their pleasure, the woman pulled out a knife and killed the man to collect Bloody Mary.

"Tsk, this is really messy. No wonder it's a paradise for the fallen. Oh well, I'd better find a place to stay first." After wandering around for a while, Xiao Yi found the place too disgusting to look at and then found a house.

He quickly found a house, a two-story building. When Xiao Yi went inside, he found someone inside. After a friendly chat with the owner, the owner gave him the house. However, he didn't know why the owner liked to sleep on the street, so he could only sigh, "What a kind person. He'd rather sleep on the street than not give me his house."

……

A month has passed, and Xiao Yi's winning streak in the Hell Slaughter Arena has increased to seventeen. His opponents are also getting stronger. However, victory remains effortless for him.

As his winning streak increased, he learned another rule: in each new match, no opponent could have participated in fewer than five Hellfire matches than him, unless everyone else had participated in more than that number.

Six months later.

This was Xiao Yi's fortieth match. The match was very difficult because his opponents were getting stronger and stronger, which made it a bit difficult for him to fight with his level eight collapse and explosive steps. So far, his external soul bone has not been exposed. He felt that he should probably develop a new way of fighting.

"Congratulations to contestant number 9527 for winning the 40th match," the host announced.

Xiao Yi left the scene. After half a year of training in the Hell Slaughter Arena, he had reached level 60 in terms of soul power. He planned to hunt for a soul ring as soon as he left after winning a hundred battles.

Because the match was quite difficult, Xiao Yi attracted the attention of many people. His dominance was terrifying; during the match, he often aimed for the head, leaving yellow and white marks all over the ground, which made many people afraid to sign up.

As they left the hellish killing field and headed towards their lodgings, a large group of people followed behind them.

"Heh heh, kid's out of energy, huh? It's all your fault we were too scared to participate in the competition. Brothers, let's go! Kill him!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi knew things couldn't end well, so he released his external soul bone and prepared for battle.

"Soul bone! It's a soul bone! The soul bone is mine!"

At a glance, Xiao Yi saw at least a thousand people densely packed together.

"This time it won't be easy," Xiao Yi thought to himself.

Xiao Yi had already been targeted once when he was in his twenties, but there were only a little over a hundred people there, and they were all novices. He didn't need to use the external soul bone when he dealt with those hundred-plus people. This time, he can't do without it.

Then, a dense crowd rushed towards Xiao Yi. Upon seeing this, Xiao Yi immediately took off, activated his Soul Bone Skill to amplify himself, and then released the second Soul Skill, Golden Feather Sword Rain, provided by his external Soul Bone, instantly killing more than a hundred people.

"What is this thing! It's terrifying! I'm not fighting anymore." The others were so frightened by Xiao Yi's instant kill of more than a hundred people that they turned and ran away. What a joke, so what if he has a soul bone? He still has to be alive to get it.

"Too late!" Xiao Yi flew and fought at the same time. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration. Could he release his soul power to create something like sword energy? He did it as soon as he thought of it. He compressed his soul power into something like sword energy. His aura instantly transformed into a sharp and aggressive feeling. With one swing, he cut down a group of people.

The battle was incredibly fierce. Although Xiao Yi was very strong, he couldn't withstand the sheer number of opponents. In the end, all the enemies fell, and Xiao Yi himself was severely injured. However, he remained standing there. Those who came later were too frightened to approach when they saw the corpses scattered on the ground. Who knew if Xiao Yi still had the strength to continue fighting?
