Douluo: From Rusted Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 20: 53 consecutive victories, the human-faced phantom monster

However, many spectators were surprised, but also showed joy on their faces. In view of the death of Scar King, they were full of expectations for the White Devil who killed the emperor, that is, Ji Wuming, especially the gambling registration office.
Almost all of them bet on the Emperor-killing White Demon. At least betting on him can ensure a steady profit. Although the profit is not as much as before, it is still a small profit.

As time passed, the game notification sound rang out again in the fifth competition area. Even the number of spectators increased by two to three times compared to the previous few life-and-death battles.
"Let us welcome the White Devil, the Emperor Slayer who defeated Scar King, and Gong Changyan, who has won four consecutive matches. Everyone knows that the White Devil, the Emperor Slayer, is only a newcomer, but he has already achieved an impressive record. Can he win this time like last time? Can Gong Changyan defeat the White Devil? We look forward to their performance."

As the two of them entered the fighting arena, the audience began to chant the name of the Emperor Slayer White Devil crazily. The host, watching the two sides prepare for the battle, shouted,

"The 35th life-and-death match begins now."

The second after the host flew away from the fighting arena, Gong Changyan had already summoned his longbow martial spirit.

"First soul skill, Ice Arrow."

An icy arrow with a biting cold aura shot towards Ji Wuming at high speed. Ji Wuming quickly activated his first soul skill and held the blood-thunder spear in his hand, aiming at the speed of the icy arrow and sending it flying.

"Second soul skill, three-stage thunder killing."

Ji Wuming, with the help of years of hard-trained water skills, rushed forward at an extremely fast speed, brandishing his spear. Three attacks broke out in succession. Within 30 seconds, even Gong Changyan, a long-range archer with high movement speed, fell under his blood-thunder spear.
In fact, when Gong Changyan matched up with Ji Wuming in this duel, he already knew that his death was the outcome, but he still decided to give it a try in order to gain the secret of his life.

Some persistent spectators on the stage were extremely angry about this. They had previously believed that the White Devil, the Emperor Slayer, had only killed Scar King by sheer luck, but they had not expected that he was actually that powerful.

…………

As time passed quietly, half a year had passed in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Ji Wuming has become famous in the entire Hanhai City underground fighting arena, with 53 consecutive victories. During the fighting period, even some soul masters would go to watch his games.

During this period of time, Ji Wuming earned about 200,000 to 300,000 gold soul coins by participating in the soul fighting. In addition, his skills in coordinating the first and second soul skills of his spear became more proficient. Some minor defects in his soul skills were also compensated by the long-term battles. He also obtained several good soul guides from the hands of the losers, and even a storage soul guide.

"It's been half a year, and my soul power has increased by two levels. No one dares to sign up for the Great Soul Master Life and Death Battle in the Soul Fighting Arena. It's time to leave."

Just as Ji Wuming was about to leave the underground fighting arena, a man in black uniform walked up to him.

"Hello, Mr. Emperor Slayer White Devil, we have an unkind request. Please move."

His tone was filled with fear and respect.

"All right!"

As a frequent visitor to the underground fighting arena, Ji Wuming has obtained a lot of high-value gold soul coins and extra rewards from the fighting arena. It is not a problem for him to go there to discuss things.

Under the man's guidance, Ji Wuming came to the beautifully decorated office. A man with soul power fluctuations took the initiative to shake hands with him and said,

"Mr. Emperor Slayer White Demon, I am the director of this Soul Fighting Arena. I wonder if you can challenge a Soul Venerable powerhouse above your level. Rest assured, if you win, the stakes will be very high. Furthermore, our Soul Fighting Arena will give you an additional 50,000 Gold Soul Coins as a reward, and will upgrade your Silver Soul Fighting Badge directly to a Gold Soul Fighting Badge."

"I'm sorry, my ability is limited, I'm afraid I can't challenge a higher level opponent, life and death fight is no joke, if you lose, you will definitely die." There are almost no great soul masters who can force Ji Wuming to use 15 consecutive attacks, and challenging a higher level soul master is undoubtedly a foolish act that exposes more strength.
What's more, he has achieved his goal of fighting spirits in the past six months, so there is no need to continue participating in fighting spirits.

"This……"

According to their internal assessment of the Great Soul Fighting Arena, the White Demon Emperor Slayer before them already possessed the combat power of a Soul Lord, or even a low-level Soul Sect. If he could challenge a higher-level opponent, it would undoubtedly bring in a considerable amount of income for their underground Soul Fighting Arena. However, the life-and-death battle did limit his ability to fight higher-level opponents.
After all, which soul master in the black market would not value his life?

After a moment's thought, the person in charge continued, "How about this? I'll arrange for Scar King, the top Great Soul Master in the Soul Arena, who has won thirty consecutive matches, the Human-Faced Illusionary Demon, to compete with you?"

"A human-faced phantom demon?"

Ji Wuming knew more or less about this person's title and general information. This Great Soul Master was particularly good at casting illusions. According to his own guess, she was very likely to have reached the strength of a 29th-level peak Great Soul Master.

The breakthrough from a Great Soul Master to a Soul Master is the first small bottleneck in the soul master's cultivation. Of course, if the soul master has high innate soul power, this small bottleneck will be overcome quickly and will not take too long.

Ji Wuming had a slightly worried look on his face as he said, "It's really difficult to fight against a fantasy-type martial spirit! If he's not a Great Spirit Master, then we'll have to give up on this matter."

"I understand that. The betting ratio and rewards won't disappoint you."

The person in charge didn't care about Ji Wuming's worries. For someone like him who had been fighting for a long time, all he needed was a suitable psychological price.

"Okay, I agree to this. The competition should be held within a month. I don't want to wait any longer."

"Okay, I'll go and invite her myself!"

Although it is impossible to hold a cross-level battle between the Emperor-killing White Demon, as a second best option, it is still possible to invite the top figure in the fighting spirit field nine months ago to participate in the competition.
According to the information he currently has, the human-faced phantom demon is still trying to break through the soul power bottleneck of level 30.

…………

Ten days later, after much persuasion from the person in charge, including increasing the winning bonus and the betting ratio, the human-faced phantom demon was finally invited over.

But it is worth mentioning that she successfully broke through to level 30, but did not obtain the third soul ring, which also meets one of the conditions proposed by Ji Wuming.

At this time, half of the fighting spirit competitions in the fighting spirit arena were stopped. Countless people gathered in the central fighting spirit arena, looking forward to the two people who had achieved many consecutive victories at the level of great soul masters.

"Who do you think will win this competition?"

"I think it's a human-faced phantom demon. After all, her martial spirit is an extremely rare phantom spirit. Even if the White Demon's attack is powerful, it will be difficult for it to be its opponent."

"No, the White Demon is extremely powerful in both speed and attack. As the saying goes, one force can break all laws. Even if his illusion is powerful, it is ultimately just an illusion. Moreover, I have bet three thousand gold coins on the White Demon. If he loses, most of my wealth will be gone."
