Douluo Continent: I, an evil soul master, work nine-to-five in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 44 Pig Butchering Scam!

In the blink of an eye, Luo Chen and Huo Yuhao, along with Xu Sanshi, arrived at the Soul Battle Zone, a special area in the academy for students to spar, ready for a duel.

The news that the "Outer Courtyard's First Defense" was about to face off against two first-year students spread like wildfire throughout the entire Outer Courtyard, thanks to the encouragement of Bei Bei and Tang Ya!

Given Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi's formidable reputation in the outer courtyard, there will naturally be no shortage of spectators for this duel. But the most important thing is the stakes set for this duel: two Xuan Shui Pills and a Soul Bone!

It was precisely because they knew that this duel involved such an astonishing stake that the news spread throughout the entire outer courtyard in an instant!

Although the duel had not yet begun, the stands around the Soul Arena were already filled with rows of spectators, many of whom were familiar faces to Luo Chen and Huo Yuhao.

In the first row of the audience, three girls with different styles but all outstanding appearances were sitting. Without exception, all three girls were wearing the white school uniform that represents first-year students.

If Luo Chen looked closely, he would not have trouble finding that the three girls who paid a silver coin as an entrance fee were none other than Ning Tian and his two companions who had caused him a lot of trouble before!

However, at this moment, Wu Feng, sitting next to Ning Tian, ​​wore a gloating expression:

"Hey, Ning Tian, ​​Luo Chen is really something else. He's caused quite a stir this time, daring to challenge that fifth-year senior with the Xuanming Turtle Martial Soul. He's probably going to get his comeuppance this time..."

Clearly, even she, who had only recently enrolled, was aware of Xu Sanshi's reputation. The Xuanming Turtle Martial Soul was even recorded in the Martial Soul Encyclopedia, and it had been listed as the pinnacle of defensive beast Martial Souls since ten thousand years ago!

It can be said that once a Soul Master with the Xuanming Turtle Martial Soul cultivates to the level of a Seven-Ring Soul Saint and possesses a Martial Soul True Body, their own defense is basically invincible among those of the same level. Under the same cultivation level, there is almost no Soul Master who can break through their defense!

Even the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul, which is also listed as a peak offensive type beast Martial Soul, would find it extremely difficult to break through its own defenses!

And this is a three-ring Soul Master who possesses a top-tier defensive martial soul and whose own strength is not low. He has actually become Luo Chen's current opponent. This made Wu Feng clap her hands with joy. Although she can't beat Luo Chen, she is still very happy to see Luo Chen suffer a setback!

Most importantly, she could not only see Luo Chen suffer setbacks, but also witness his tragic state after losing his soul bone. This was what made her so eager to drag Ning Tian and Nanmen Yun'er to this Soul Arena.

The two Xuan Shui Pills in the bet were nothing to them. Although Xuan Shui Pills were considered extremely valuable and rare in the eyes of the world, none of the three of them were ordinary people.

With the immense power of their family, the Xuan Shui Pill is readily available and not considered a precious item at all, but the Soul Bone is a different story!

A single Xuan Shui Pill can only be effective for Soul Masters with low innate Soul Power and lack of talent, and its effect is very limited, far less effective than some ten-thousand-year-old herbs. However, a Soul Bone is of great significance!

Even the lowest quality thousand-year-old soul bone is priceless on the continent, and countless powerful individuals have fought tooth and nail for it.

A Soul Master can be equipped with a maximum of six Soul Bones: the head, torso, and limbs. However, absorbing any Soul Bone from any part of the body can bring unexpected improvements to the Soul Master.

Whether it's an increase in soul power level, the provision of powerful soul skills, or a direct improvement in the quality of one's own martial soul, any of these are of great significance to a soul master!

Because possessing a soul bone means that one has one more soul skill than other soul masters. Normally, nine soul ring slots only provide nine soul skills, but if one can fuse six soul bones, one can have a full six more soul skills than other soul masters!

Moreover, the soul skills of this soul bone are not limited to one's own martial soul. Just like a support-type soul master, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to have an offensive soul skill, but after fusing with a soul bone, then one more offensive soul skill can be added!

Don't underestimate this attacking soul skill. For a soul master with a support-type martial soul, this attacking soul skill can be considered a life-saving skill. In an unexpected situation, it may very well save their life!

The function of soul bones goes far beyond this. That is why soul bones are regarded as treasures by all soul masters on the continent and are listed on the soul master dream list!

However, even a single thousand-year-old soul bone has an extremely low probability of appearing. Even if you kill hundreds or thousands of thousand-year-old soul beasts, you may not necessarily get a soul bone.

While the probability of obtaining soul bones from killing a ten-thousand-year soul beast is higher than that from a thousand-year soul beast, the difficulty of killing it is also much higher. Moreover, ten-thousand-year soul beasts generally appear in the core area of ​​the Soul Beast Forest!

Even a titled Douluo with nine rings wouldn't dare to stay in the core area of ​​the Soul Beast Forest for too long, let alone go in specifically to hunt ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts for the sake of soul bones. One wrong move and you could easily lose your life there!

Therefore, Wu Feng was secretly delighted at this moment, because she did not think that Luo Chen could produce a soul bone, after all, this would be a considerable loss for her family!

However, just as he finished speaking, Nammon Yoon-ah, who was sitting to the side, shook her head and said:

"Wu Feng, you're wrong. You can't judge a book by its cover. I heard that Luo Chen set this bet himself. Since he dared to accept this duel and set such a bet, he must have been extremely confident to do so..."

"Yes, Yoona is right. I also think that Luo Chen wouldn't be so impulsive. But that three-ring Soul Master is indeed not simple. Let's see how this duel will end."

Ning Tian, ​​who was sitting between Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er, also expressed his opinion after hearing their conversation.

At this moment, Tang Ya, who had orchestrated this duel, was grinning from ear to ear. You should know that every duel between soul masters is open for betting, and right now, the odds for Luo Chen and Huo Yuhao are a full ten times higher!

This means that if Luo Chen and Huo Yuhao win this duel, those who bet on Luo Chen and Huo Yuhao will receive a huge return of up to ten times their initial investment!

She and Beibei each placed a hundred gold soul coins on Luo Chen, and the final profit they could obtain would be ten times that, which would be two thousand gold soul coins!
