Douluo Continent: Heaven rewards diligence, Tang San's defenses are breached by liver damage.

"Then I declare the battle officially begins!"

The host, Yi Yi, shouted, and with a flap of her wings, she flew off the fighting stage, leaving the entire stage to Lin Chuan and Ao Feng.

"Jax, I've heard so much about you."

Ao Feng did not make a move immediately, but instead took the initiative to greet him.

Seeing that Lin Chuan remained silent, he was not annoyed and continued to speak, "You are very powerful. You achieved a thirty-game winning streak without using your martial soul and soul skills. If we were both soul masters, I would not be your match, but today I will definitely force you to use your martial soul and soul skills, and even defeat you fair and square!"

"Finished talking? Let's begin!"

Ao Feng had witnessed Lin Chuan's battles, and the latter was incredibly powerful. Even as a Great Soul Master, he wouldn't dare say he could achieve a thirty-game winning streak without using his Martial Soul and Soul Skills.

This guy in front of me is a formidable opponent!

Therefore, Ao Feng dared not be careless and directly possessed his martial spirit.

A strong blue light suddenly burst forth from Ao Feng's body. His arms stretched out naturally, his back arched slightly, and the bones all over his body began to crackle. His short white hair grew rapidly, reaching past his shoulders in the blink of an eye, and only stopped when it reached his back.

The palms underwent the most dramatic change, more than doubling in size. Blue and white fur covered the entire palms, and the fingernails had transformed into sharp claws, resembling blades that radiated a sinister, cold light under the lamplight.

Two yellow spirit rings slowly rose, shimmering with light, while surging spirit power formed a wave-like pressure that swept outwards in all directions.

"Ao Feng, Martial Soul Cloud Leopard, Level 27 Battle Soul Master, please enlighten me!"

The first two spirit rings are both 100-year rings, which is quite rare!

Lin Chuan's expression was slightly surprised. Although the theoretical optimal configuration for the first two spirit rings is 100 years, most spirit masters' first spirit rings are 10 years. Having been in the Great Spirit Arena for so long, this was the first time he had encountered an opponent whose first two spirit rings were both 100 years.

"Jax, Martial Soul Black Feather, Level 19 Weapon Soul Master."

Lin Chuan drew his machete from his waist, his tone calm.

Seeing this, Ao Feng frowned slightly, "Aren't you going to use your Martial Soul?"

"It will come when it's needed, provided there's a genuine need for it."

"Then don't blame me for being ruthless; I'll force you to use your Martial Soul!"

Ao Feng roared, stomped his feet hard on the ground, his white hair fluttering, and his body, brimming with explosive power, charged forward instantly.

The battle was imminent.

Lin Chuan also stepped forward to meet him, and the two quickly closed the distance between them.

Ao Feng's sharp leopard claws tore through the air, grabbing at Lin Chuan's body. However, this seemingly swift but straightforward attack was easily caught by Lin Chuan.

With light steps and a slight turn of the body, he dodged directly.

"It's not over yet!"

Ao Feng spun around on the ground, his sharp claws striking again.

However, Lin Chuan did not retaliate. Instead, he continued to move his feet lightly, swaying back and forth like a rootless duckweed. His movements seemed to have no rules, yet he was able to dodge all attacks perfectly.

[You made a careful attempt to dodge, and gained some insights; your movement skill proficiency +1]

[You used Observation Haki seriously once and gained some insights. Observation Haki proficiency +1]

……

With continuous movement, a large amount of information began to emerge in my mind.

Lin Chuan's eyes lit up immediately.

Just as he had guessed, fighting against Soul Masters didn't improve him much, but fighting against Great Soul Masters, or even more powerful Soul Masters, would be of great help to him.

Ao Feng's speed and fierce attacks are indeed several times greater than those of a first-ring Soul Master.

However... it's still limited. The proficiency increases very slowly. Basically, you have to dodge several times before the proficiency increases once. For a movement technique that requires tens of thousands of proficiency points to advance to the next level, it's still a drop in the ocean.

But no matter what, it's better than coming up empty-handed after a battle.

The intense battle ignited the audience's enthusiasm, and everyone began chanting the names of Lin Chuan and Ao Feng.

In comparison, there are significantly more people supporting Lin Chuan.

"Wow, that's fast! Teacher, Ao Feng is amazing! He's making Jax all flustered and forced to dodge!"

In the stands, the chubby red-haired boy was shouting excitedly.

"Hmph, so you're still too young."

The middle-aged man sitting next to the chubby guy snorted, but his gaze remained fixed on the Soul Fighting Platform, his eyes gleaming as he stared intently at Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan appeared to be under a fierce storm of attacks, but each dodge involved only a small movement, and he skillfully and easily avoided each attack, as if he were strolling leisurely.

It might not sound like a big deal, but the middle-aged man knew very well what it meant. Only through countless battles could one develop such insight and experience. Coupled with training in actual combat, one not only needs to be bold and meticulous, but also requires strong strength as support.

Although this Jax was wearing a mask, judging from his voice, he was not very old and therefore could not have experienced many battles.

That means he's a true genius!

"No, this is no longer just a genius, this is a little monster!"

The middle-aged man clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling slightly with excitement.

I only happened to pass by and heard the rumors, so I decided to come to the Sword City Great Soul Arena on a whim. I never expected to be so surprised. I must bring this little monster into my Shrek Academy.

On the soul fighting stage.

Ao Feng suddenly stopped moving, his chest heaving as he gasped for breath, while Lin Chuan's breathing remained steady.

Upon seeing this, Ao Feng immediately realized what was going on, and his face turned ugly.

"Jax, are you humiliating me? Why don't you attack?!"

Lin Chuan remained calm and did not respond.

"Damn it, the first soul skill, Leopard Shadow!"

Ao Feng no longer held back; his first spirit ring instantly lit up, forming a blue halo around him that merged into his body, briefly boosting his speed.

"The second soul skill: Earth-shattering claw!"

Ao Feng transformed into a shadow and pounced towards Lin Chuan, his speed noticeably faster than before.

"That's enough, let's wrap it up!"

Since Ao Feng was no longer willing to cooperate with his training, Lin Chuan naturally wouldn't waste his time.

Soul power surged into the woodcutter's knife, and the back of the blade shimmered with a faint red halo.

"cut!"

With a single swing of the blade, the two figures passed each other.

"Pfft!" Ao Feng's body trembled, blood spurted from his chest, his eyes rolled back, his soul power dissipated, and he couldn't even maintain his martial soul possession. He collapsed to the ground and fainted.

Lin Chuan twirled the wood-chopping knife and then sheathed it at his waist.

Chapter 25: Refusing the Invitation, Flanders Arrives

The entire main arena was completely silent.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the scene before them, utterly incredulous.

"Incredible, absolutely incredible!"

The host, Yi Yi, was the first to come to her senses. She flapped her wings and glided through the air for a distance before landing steadily beside Lin Chuan.

A faint, pleasant fragrance wafts through the air, thankfully not too strong.

"Jax continues his legendary journey. Even when facing a level 27 Great Soul Master, he didn't use his Martial Soul or Soul Skills. He's truly amazing!"

"I hereby declare that Jax has won this one-on-one battle against a higher-level opponent. Congratulations to Jax, the Soul Master, on achieving his 31st consecutive victory! His current record is 31 wins and 0 losses!"

Her sweet voice sounded strange at this moment; she was too excited, which caused her voice to tremble slightly.

"Oh--"

"Jax, Jax, Jax..."

The entire venue erupted in cheers.

Most of the audience was drawn by the challenge of a higher level, while the rest were Lin Chuan's supporters. Now, witnessing this feat in person, everyone was extremely excited, especially those who bet on Lin Chuan to win; they were practically grinning from ear to ear.

A level 19 Soul Master decisively defeated a level 27 Great Soul Master without even using his Martial Soul or Soul Skills. This was destined to be a moment recorded in the history of the Sword City Great Soul Arena.

Feeling the intense gazes around him, Lin Chuan was really struggling to cope.

A dark shadow suddenly flew over.

Lin Chuan instinctively dodged, and a pink patch suddenly appeared on the ground where he had been standing. When he looked closely, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Who the hell threw that undergarment up here?!

Don't be so exaggerated!

Before he could even complain, a dense rain began to fall on the battle arena, and the women, as if they had gone mad, started throwing their underwear at Lin Chuan.

"Holy crap, are you crazy?!"
