Douluo V: Starting with daily check-ins, I'm trying to trick Xiao Wu into becoming my wife.

The hearts of the entire audience jumped into their throats, and the atmosphere became extremely tense!

Anyone could see that [Overlord Sword Xiao Yan] had murderous intent!

He didn't hold back at all, starting with a killing move, clearly intending to severely injure or even kill Long Aotian in one strike!

The domineering and fierce sword aura pressed down relentlessly, giving Ao Yin in the arena no room to breathe, dodge, or parry.

"It's over! It's completely over!"

"Long Aotian is truly doomed this time! Xiao Yan didn't give him any chance at all!"

"If Xiao Yan had been even slightly overconfident, Long Aotian might have had a sliver of a chance to turn the tables, but what is he doing now? Completely motionless—is he paralyzed with fear?"

A chorus of groans and jeers erupted from the audience; no one had any faith in the golden-masked boy on the field.

"I've gone completely mad! I actually bet on Long Aotian to win! Losing everything is one thing, but I don't want to eat shit!!"

"That's a Xuan Tie Heavy Sword, imbued with the Nine Netherworld Flame, an invincible domineering sword soul skill among its peers. Even ordinary Soul Kings wouldn't dare to take it head-on!"

"I told you he was all hype for three months, it was all an empty boast! His previous winning streak was definitely a fake, created by drugs!"

"Standing motionless and waiting to die, is that how a master should behave?!"

A cacophony of doubts, mockery, and pessimism swept across the entire Soul Arena, leading some viewers to believe that Long Aotian had been completely stunned.

Just as the entire audience was in uproar and everyone was pessimistic, the Shrek team members in the VIP viewing box up high wore calm and amused smiles.

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, and the others all understood perfectly.

Only they truly knew the terrifying strength hidden within the person before them.

A common Soul Master's deadly attack?

For Ao Yin, it wasn't even a warm-up!

After three months, Ao Yin's combat strength has been completely transformed.

Even without using their martial spirit or soul skills, they can still withstand the power of a Soul King with their physical strength alone.

Even Zhao Wuji, the academy's top instructor, suffered greatly at his hands.

In his eyes, Xiao Yan, a mere level 46 Soul Master, was nothing more than a stepping stone to be sent to his death.

In the center of the arena, murderous intent surged.

The fierce aura in Xiao Yan's eyes surged, and he fully activated his soul skill, slashing down with his Xuan Tie heavy sword!

The surging soul power burst forth along the sword, and the pitch-black sword was wrapped in layers of eerie purple flames. As the flames swirled, a lifelike Nine Netherworld Bird materialized from the sword energy!

Purple flames surged into the sky, the bird's cry was sharp and piercing, and a violent wind that tore through the air swept towards Ao Yin with a deadly force!

The air was distorted and deformed by the high temperature, and a terrifying suppressive force enveloped the entire arena, with a murderous aura emanating from it.

The entire arena held its breath, everyone staring intently at the arena, vaguely seeing the scene of Long Aotian being defeated by a single sword strike and ending in a miserable defeat.

However, facing this terrifying blow that was enough to instantly kill someone of the same level, Ao Yin remained motionless, his feet firmly planted on the arena, without even blinking.

He held the Ice and Fire Dragon Staff horizontally in one hand, the staff steadily blocking his chest, his expression indifferent, showing no sign of panic.

No dodging, no retreating, no charging up!

"Dragon and Elephant Power, Break!"

In an instant!

The immense physical strength of the staff erupted with a thunderous roar, and the staff burst forth with crimson Southern Ming Flame, the scorching and domineering crimson flames sweeping out in an instant!

Boom—!

Crimson fire and purple flames collided with a deafening roar!

Xiao Yan's proud Nine Netherworld Sparrow Purple Flame, in the face of the extremely domineering Southern Brightness Flame, was like snow meeting the scorching sun, instantly shattering and disintegrating!

The countless purple fire feathers and sharp sword energy were all shattered and vanished without a trace!

one move!

With a simple exertion of physical strength, without activating any soul skills, he directly confronted and completely defeated Xiao Yan's signature killing move!

Effortless and effortless!

Ao Yin raised his eyes, his voice beneath the golden mask icy cold, filled with utter disdain:

"With such mediocre skills, how dare they spout such nonsense? It's utterly laughable."

Before the words were even finished!

Om-!

A dazzling crimson light suddenly rose from beneath Ao Yin's feet!

A 100,000-year soul ring, entirely crimson and exuding overwhelming power, slowly spiraled into the sky!

A 100,000-year-old spirit ring!!!

The blinding light of the spirit rings instantly illuminated the entire arena, and the terrifying level of the spirit rings caused everyone's hearts to stop abruptly!

"First Soul Skill - Crimson Tide!"

Boundless crimson soul power instantly spread out, transforming into a domineering domain that completely enveloped the entire arena!

Within the domain, Ao Yin's fierce killing intent amplified infinitely, and the icy killing aura locked Xiao Yan's entire body, making him stiff, his soul power stagnant, and unable to move!

"Genius? To me is to see a god! Those who defy gods shall be killed without mercy!"

As the deep, cold shout fell, a fiery red Fire Glass Serpent with ferocious scales and claws burst forth from the crimson wave of soul power!

Like a fire dragon, like the wind, like lightning, it darted across the arena in an instant, precisely wrapping around Xiao Yan's right arm, which was holding a heavy sword!

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!

The ear-piercing sound of intense heat and flames burning flesh suddenly exploded!

Ao Yin didn't even bother to glance at the disheveled Xiao Yan, turning away decisively and uttering two words indifferently:

"Take him away, next!"

The entire audience was completely stunned, their minds blank!

Everyone stared intently at the center of the arena, their pupils contracting rapidly!

Just moments ago, the arrogant and domineering Xiao Yan was now trembling violently, his face filled with extreme pain and despair.

The incredibly heavy Xuan Tie sword could no longer be held and crashed heavily onto the stone slab of the arena with a loud "bang," raising a cloud of dust.

next second!

A heart-wrenching, agonizing wail echoed throughout the entire Soul Arena!

"Aaaaaah—my arm! My arm!!"

The fiery flames of the Fire Glass Serpent burned Xiao Yan's bones, forcefully devouring and crippling his entire right arm!

Excruciating pain coursed through his entire body. Xiao Yan collapsed to his knees, utterly exhausted, his face ashen, completely losing all ability to fight!

The referee suddenly snapped out of his daze, his expression shocked, and hurriedly announced the verdict in a loud voice:

"Overlord Sword Xiao Yan is unable to fight anymore! In this one-on-one battle, Dragon Aotian wins!!"

The words had barely left his mouth when the referee hurriedly waved his hand and shouted:

"Medical team! Immediately proceed! Quickly stop the bleeding and save lives!"

The medical team members on standby immediately carried a stretcher and grabbed first aid equipment, rushing onto the stage to provide emergency treatment to the seriously injured Xiao Yan.

In just a few seconds, the outcome was decided, and the battle was over!

The entire Soul Arena fell into a deathly silence!

The tens of thousands of audience members remained silent, frozen in place, their minds still filled with the incredibly shocking scene they had just witnessed.

From beginning to end, Ao Yin only made one move!

One move can break a killing move, one move can cripple a powerful enemy, one move can decide the outcome!

Xiao Yan, the Overlord Sword Master, who was hailed as having few rivals of his rank and had set a record of fifty consecutive victories, was completely overwhelmed and had no chance to fight back!

A 100,000-year soul ring!

This is the true strength of the dark horse Long Aotian!

After a moment of deathly silence, the entire stadium erupted in deafening cheers!

The host's voice trembled as he strained to shout his narration:

"A miracle! An absolute miracle! Long Aotian is back! The undefeated dark horse has made a powerful comeback! He annihilated a formidable opponent in one move! He crushed the entire arena! Let us congratulate Long Aotian on another victory!!"

"Long Aotian! Long Aotian! Long Aotian!!"

The thunderous shouts resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and both new and old audiences were filled with excitement, roaring wildly.

"Incredible! This is a true powerhouse!"

"He took the fatal blow head-on, then confidently turned around – so incredibly cool!"

"Xiao Yan started off arrogantly, making threats to cripple someone's arm, but ended up having his own arm crippled – a complete self-inflicted wound!"

[Ding! Today's check-in count has been updated!]

[Sign in now!]

Ao Yin was slightly taken aback, then immediately muttered, "Sign in!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for signing in at the Soul Arena and receiving a Level 4 reward—Buddha's Wrath Lotus!]

[Buddha's Wrath Lotus: Requires two or more different types of fire to be crafted; currently unavailable!]

[Current number of different flames: 1! (Nanming Li Flame)]

...

"Hmm? Buddha's Wrathful Lotus!"

Ao Yin raised an eyebrow slightly. The name was similar to Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus, but it wasn't Tang at all!

A different kind of fire?

Ao Yin had a headache; this kind of thing wasn't something you could just find easily!

His Nanming Li Fire was born from the Li Teng Snake, a type of dragon-type fire. To find other strange fires, he would have to wait for the right opportunity!

However, Ao Yin was not worried. He knew that there was a place in Douluo Continent that contained a strange fire, which was the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye!

"I'll put it away for now. I'll go there sometime to collect the strange flames and refine the Buddha's Wrath Lotus!"

It seems that the power of this Buddha's Wrathful Lotus must be quite formidable!
