In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 185: The 100,000-Year Soul Ring Shocks the Entire Audience!

"Now, let's welcome the Dragon Couple and the Dart and Shield Duo to the stage!"

After the host, Xi Xi, finished speaking, she quickly left the Soul Arena and found a separate commentary booth set up for her by the organizers. After all, the aftershocks of a Soul Douluo-level battle were not on the same level as what she usually commented on. If she stayed on the Soul Arena as usual, even at the edge, she would probably not be able to avoid being affected by the powerful soul skills.

The atmosphere in the venue became even more enthusiastic at that moment.

Soon, two pairs of figures emerged from each of the two passages of the Soul Arena. On the left were two elders, one burly and the other lean. The burly one had dark green hair that was disheveled as if he had never washed it, yet he exuded a strange sense of danger. The lean one had black hair and black eyes, and his posture was not upright but rather somewhat hunched. He had an ordinary appearance and a deep gaze, making it difficult to associate him with a powerful Soul Master. As for the pair of immortal lovers who emerged from the right passage, their appearances were both exceptionally beautiful, and their appearance once again drew cheers from the audience.

Without further ado, the two contestants stood on the Soul Fighting Stage and immediately began to look at each other. Although the four of them had met offstage before, the feeling on the Soul Fighting Stage and offstage was quite different.

Looking at the dart and shield duo opposite him, Wang Zhao could clearly sense that they were not letting their guard down against the young Wang Zhao and Qian Renxue. However, he did not care about this and quickly returned their attention with serious eyes. After all, this was the first time he and Qian Renxue had truly faced a Soul Douluo-level expert, or a "veteran" Soul Douluo-level expert.

Recently, Wang Zhao has been sparring with Sister Die quite a bit in private, but it still feels a bit different.

Now, he is looking forward to seeing how much power he can unleash with four 100,000-year soul skills in hand.

Both sides activated their martial spirits simultaneously.

Swish!

In an instant, countless rays of light burst forth on the Soul Battle Stage, and the martial spirits of both sides also appeared. Many spectators who came to support the Dragon Couple thought that Wang Zhao and Qian Renxue's level and realm had not changed, so they turned their interested eyes to the dart and shield combination.

As eight spirit rings slowly rose around both of them, many viewers felt a sense of heaviness, a feeling of respect for the strong and an instinctive sense of crisis arose spontaneously.

Before they could even gasp, a chorus of shouts erupted from the audience, startling them. Out of the corner of their eye, they caught a glimpse of crimson...

"?!?!"

At the same time, in all the private rooms of the Heavenly Battle Arena, countless big shots who usually commanded great influence and were famous throughout the continent couldn't help but stand up suddenly. Among them, Ning Fengzhi and Xue Ye, who were in the No. 1 private room, were the leaders.

"Wang Zhao, his fifth spirit ring?!"

"Blood red, ten...ten thousand years...it's actually a ten thousand year soul ring."

"Leaving aside the origin of the 100,000-year spirit ring, how exactly did he manage to obtain a 100,000-year fifth spirit ring?"

"No wonder, no wonder he has such a terrifying range of levels and realms. No, if he has a 100,000-year soul ring, then he probably has something like that too. This range of realms still seems too small. Just what kind of monster is he...?"

At this moment, after their initial shock, countless important figures almost subconsciously connected the dots to something about Wang Zhao, and thus could no longer maintain their rationality; their gazes instantly became somewhat intense.

The first to calm down were Ning Fengzhi and Xue Ye.

The former is because they can consider the pros and cons, and as a person in a superior position, they have developed a habit of remaining calm in the face of adversity. Most importantly, they are just a support-type Soul Master whose cultivation has reached a bottleneck. As for the latter, there is not much to say. As the ruler of an empire, one needs to have a certain capacity to accept anything. Secondly, because the Heaven Dou royal family's inherited martial soul "Swan" is not considered powerful, they have never been orthodox Soul Masters since ancient times. They have always been representatives of various noble and powerful classes. Therefore, although they were shocked by the appearance of the 100,000-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, they were not so blinded.

After that, Ning Fengzhi's mind raced, and he quickly spoke a somewhat enigmatic sentence before all the superiors and leaders present: "In any case, now it all depends on how well Wang Zhao performs."

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Xueye and Chenxin on either side of Ning Fengzhi looked at him simultaneously, but then they seemed to understand something and nodded with slightly narrowed eyes.

Although the three were still somewhat emotional, they quickly sat down again. Ning Fengzhi and Xue Ye, in particular, showed fewer outward changes in their expressions and soon began talking and discussing among themselves.

Ning Fengzhi suddenly seemed to remember something and couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Jian, what do you think Wang Zhao's future prospects are for Qian Daoliu?"

Chen Xin fell silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "Wang Zhao's performance is far too extraordinary, and Qian Daoliu's level is beyond my current comprehension. I can no longer make any predictions about them. If I had to make a guess, I think Wang Zhao might truly become a god!"

Ning Fengzhi and Xue Ye were both stunned upon hearing this. Although Chen Xin did not finish speaking, they immediately understood what Chen Xin meant: if Wang Zhao became a god, he would surely suppress all enemies in the world!

Becoming a god is far too unattainable for anyone on the continent. Is it really possible? The two remained skeptical.

"Is that so..."

Ning Fengzhi's gaze was distant, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

The people in each private room had different thoughts, while most of the audience members were excitedly cheering with flushed faces and thick necks.

The reason is simple: even those in the audience who might not recognize that the 100,000-year spirit ring was blood red quickly understood the concept symbolized by the inexplicably oppressive blood red spirit ring emanating from Wang Zhao's body through the rising and falling exclamations. Their emotions surged like wild horses along with the reactions of the surrounding crowd, causing most people to temporarily stop thinking about Wang Zhao's situation. Instead, they thought about how Wang Zhao was unparalleled in the world and had the potential to become a god, and they all became more determined to follow, or rather, to be fans of, the Dragon Couple.

Not to mention, everyone soon noticed that six soul rings rose around Qian Renxue, indicating that she had already advanced to the Soul Emperor level.

While not as eye-catching as Wang Zhao, she was still quite remarkable—

Horror!

Thus, even before the battle officially began, the atmosphere in the arena had already reached a climax.
