Chapter 170: Deterrence Of The Entire Arena
“Damn it! Who are you calling a toad?”
Tailong was furious, unable to hold back and wanted to rush forward directly.
“Come back!”
Ling Mo glared at him, and Tailong frustratedly retreated.
“A few clowns, how dare you show off your limited skills before experts in front of us?
One androgynous person, one courtesan! And a few lapdogs, simply a perfect match…”
As soon as Ling Mo said this, everyone from Shrek burst into laughter.
“Who are you calling a courtesan?”
Hit in the vital spot by Ling Mo’s words, the female student from the Heaven Dou Academy team had an extremely ugly expression.
“Don’t wink and nudge at me. There’s nothing wrong with looking like you, but coming out to scare people is your sin…”
“You…”
In an instant, the atmosphere on the field gradually solidified!
This was true both inside and outside the arena.
On the high platform, Xue Ye gloomily glanced at Dugu Bo. He had long noticed the few words on the back of the Shrek Academy team’s school uniforms.
“Sect Master Ning, it seems this match has no suspense at all…”
Xue Ye said meaningfully, but this statement seemed more directed at Dugu Bo.
Perhaps in his view, Shrek Academy didn’t even qualify to carry shoes for Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Ning Fengzhi was caught in the middle, feeling somewhat awkward! He didn’t know what to say.
“Your Majesty! You’re right, this match indeed has no suspense…”
At this moment, Dugu Bo spoke up! But the meaning in his words was full of gunpowder.
Anyone with eyes could see that the “no suspense” Dugu Bo mentioned was tilted toward Shrek Academy.
While the “no suspense” Xue Ye mentioned was on the Heaven Dou Royal Academy side.
“It seems, Old Poison, you’re quite confident in this Shrek Academy?”
At this time, a sarcastic voice drifted from the side—it was Salas.
As soon as he said this, it seemed like he was standing on the same line as Xue Ye!
Dugu Bo only said coldly: “Confidence is too strong a word! But… the winner will be revealed soon. Let’s… wait and see!”
In Dugu Bo’s heart, there was originally no suspense about the outcome. Not to mention the Royal second team—even the first team! Against the Shrek Academy team led by Ling Mo, they had no chance of winning.
Having known Ling Mo for so long, even Dugu Bo couldn’t do anything to him. These people didn’t have the qualifications.
Just Ling Mo’s one unsealed divine skill alone was an unsolvable existence.
“Good! Then let’s wait and see…”
Xue Ye frowned tightly and said coldly, then continued watching the match.
At this time, on the Fighting Soul Platform grandstand, many audience members had gathered, along with players from various participating teams.
Shui Bing’er and Xue Wu stood on the grandstand, constantly paying attention to one person below.
“Sister Bing’er, what exactly is his Martial Soul? To make you so curious…”
Xue Wu was very puzzled. A Martial Soul that could resonate with the Ice Phoenix almost didn’t exist on this continent.
No wonder Shui Bing’er was so excited; after all, this was the first time such a situation had occurred.
“I don’t know! We’ll know soon. I think… it must be a very special Martial Soul…”
Shui Bing’er murmured to herself, lost in thought! Her gaze remained locked on Ling Mo.
She was very curious—what exactly was Ling Mo’s Martial Soul?
“Preliminary Round, first match of the first round, officially begins.”
At the referee’s signal, this match—announcing the start of the first preliminary round of this All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament—officially began.
Similar to Fighting Soul matches, the tournament gave both sides one minute to release their Martial Souls.
Ling Mo stood at the front of his team! He coldly glanced at the opposite side…
“Brothers, release your Martial Souls…”
When both sides simultaneously released their Martial Souls and all Soul Rings appeared before the audience’s eyes, surprised voices immediately spread through the grandstands.
Suddenly, a pair of large wings unfurled behind Ling Mo, colorful wings instantly spreading open. Ling Mo smoothly rose slowly, hovering above everyone.
At this moment, the entire venue was shocked!
Vaguely, someone saw a peacock dancing gracefully around the Fighting Soul Platform, surrounded by holy light, like a god descending.
“That’s… a peacock?”
In an instant, the whole venue boiled over.
Unexpectedly, the first match of the Soul Master Competition featured such a Martial Soul—it was simply too shocking.
Little did they know, even more shocking things were yet to come.
One by one, Soul Rings rose from under Ling Mo’s feet, unfolding around him.
Most eye-catching were the two Soul Rings beyond the third one—they were astonishing Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings…
“Oh my god! Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings, and two of them…”
“Is this still human? The fourth Soul Ring is already a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, and he’s a Soul King!”
If the impact of the Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings wasn’t enough, then… this one Soul King was enough to deter everyone.
Especially a Soul King with a god-tier Martial Soul, the colorful peacock.
With this heaven-defying Martial Soul, paired with over level fifty strength and two Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings, the entire Soul Master Competition was his personal performance stage.
“Peacock… peacock?”
At this time, on the grandstand, Shui Bing’er was completely stunned, especially the moment Ling Mo released his Martial Soul.
Her heart fluttered, as if sensing some kind of call, stirring restlessly…
What connection did the peacock have with the phoenix? Shui Bing’er couldn’t imagine, but… this inexplicable attraction was real.
The moment Ling Mo released his Martial Soul, she had already sensed the Ice Phoenix’s stirring, faintly producing a trace of resonance.
The moment Ling Mo released his Martial Soul, the focus of the entire venue locked onto him, even overshadowing Tang San’s light.
When everyone came back to their senses, they noticed that Tang San also had a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring…
“Wait, look at that person! Oh my god, he also has a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring…”
“Blue Silver Grass! Blue Silver Grass can be cultivated too?”
“Damn, is this Shrek Academy going against the heavens?”
“No wonder they wear such strange uniforms—turns out experts dress like this…”
At this moment, no one dared to question Shrek Academy’s strength anymore. Everyone’s gazes were fixed on the Shrek team.
At this time, the Heaven Dou Royal second team seemed so dim and lackluster.
A team with two Soul Masters possessing Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings—against any team in this tournament, wouldn’t it be a sweep?
“It seems this Shrek Academy is the biggest dark horse of this tournament…”
Ling Mo calmly watched this scene—this was exactly what he wanted to see.
Ling Mo knew that the moment he revealed his Martial Soul, he would become the center of attention.
The purpose of doing so wasn’t just to deter these people; more importantly, it was to make that old man on the grandstand, Shi Nian… feel a sense of crisis.
As long as he felt a sense of crisis, he would eagerly want to get rid of him.
Ling Mo was waiting for him to take the bait! How could he possibly let go of such a good opportunity.
On the Fighting Soul Platform, Ling Mo had already noticed Shi Nian on the grandstand. Sure enough, his cold killing intent had stirred.
“Xiao Mo, isn’t this too high-profile? Revealing the Martial Soul right at the start— in future matchups, you might be specially targeted…”
On the other side of the grandstand, the Master said worriedly.
Flander was more calm, leisurely replying, “Hey, I say Xiao Gang! You know Xiao Mo’s personality—he wouldn’t fight a battle without certainty, would he?
The reason he’s doing this must be for his own reasons! Anyway, I’m very reassured about him…”
After hearing this, the Master also shook his head, unable to figure out what Ling Mo was up to.
