Everyone saw Ye Chen's expression and suddenly realized that something was amiss.
Among the Soul Masters present, they began whispering to each other.
"Why is this guy so confident?"
"Strange things always have something fishy behind them."
"What are you afraid of? With so many of us, are we still afraid of him?"
Ye Chen ignored the whispers of the Soul Masters.
"This is my last chance to give you, leave now, and I can pretend that nothing happened," Chrysanthemum Douluo squinted at Ye Chen from afar.
The more Ye Chen acted like this, the more Chrysanthemum Douluo became uneasy, worrying that Ye Chen might be someone formidable. Ye Chen's mysterious image also added to his unease.
Ye Chen curled his lips in disdain, not taking him seriously.
He hated people who acted like they knew it all.
"You, giving me a chance? Haha, laughable! Let me give you a chance instead."
Ye Chen looked at the others and said, "Hehe, you can still leave now if you want. Don't blame me for not giving face later!"
To dare to provoke the Spirit Hall!
Such people were either lunatics or idiots!
Regardless, their fate would be the same—death!
The Spirit Hall may not overtly display dominance, nor interfere with the internal affairs of major empires, but by having their branch halls within the empires, they were asserting their authority.
"Very arrogant!" Chrysanthemum Douluo's face turned dark. Ye Chen's tone was too big, not giving face to the Martial Soul Hall and him.
"Tsk tsk, some people are overconfident, so let's destroy them," Ghost Douluo smiled sinisterly, his face covered by a cloud of black mist.
Bibi Dong sighed helplessly as she watched her two subordinates in the Elder Hall. Although they had the lowest strength, they were the only ones who obeyed her. The rest of the Douluo Hall members, though powerful, were all under the control of Grand Elder Qian Daoliu.
Bibi Dong clearly understood that ultimately, only by having strong strength could she have more subordinates and win over more people.
The incident in the secret room was a wound in her heart that could never be healed!
As she thought about it, a figure of a young man appeared in her mind.
The young man had a handsome appearance with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. His resolute figure was etched in Bibi Dong's heart.
"Why did you say 'later' when there's no 'later'?" Bi Bi Dong murmured to herself, her eyes showing a touch of desolation.
This hunting action was carefully prepared by her for a long time, and she wouldn't allow anyone to ruin her plan.
"Go on," Bibi Dong waved her hand, her expression devoid of any emotions.
A woman's sixth sense was always special—either very accurate or completely off.
The reason Bibi Dong had been tolerant of Ye Chen until now was due to a strange feeling she had. She and Ye Chen had met before, but Ye Chen's behaviour still made her feel unfamiliar.
Ghost Douluo waved his hand!
The Spirit Hall's assault-type Soul Masters immediately revealed their Martial Souls. The auxiliary Soul Masters also activated their Martial Souls.
A series of light shields and soul power recoveries and speed boosts were placed on the front-row Soul Masters.
As the soul masters in the front row fully charged their soul power, they launched their soul skills at Ye Chen as if they were giving them away for free!
Looking at the colourful soul skills, resembling fireworks in the sky, they came crashing towards Ye Chen with a resounding noise!
The entire team of soul masters had their soul power swirling and surging around them!
Ye Chen's mouth twitched slightly. If he was unable to defend against this assault, there would be nothing left of him!
Ye Chen couldn't afford to be careless, so he channelled the soul power within his body. A colourful pagoda sprang out from his palm!
"Seven Treasures have a name, Fourth is Defense" The fourth soul ring on Ye Chen's body glowed, enveloping the seven-colour pagoda and releasing two coloured lights that covered both Ye Chen and Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu had been living in the Star Dou Great Forest and had never witnessed such a grand battle before.
Feeling nervous, she clutched Ye Chen's hand, finding comfort and reassurance in it.
A massive coloured protective shield blocked all the soul skills of the Soul Hall's spirit masters!
The soul masters from the Soul Hall exchanged bewildered glances, finding it hard to believe what they were witnessing.
Ye Chen smirked with contempt, "After all, this is the soul skill of the most potent auxiliary-type Douluo. It would be utterly absurd if you soul kings couldn't break it."
"Give it another shot!" Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice sounded sharp.
The auxiliary soul master provided the front row with another wave of soul power recovery, along with an increase in attack attributes!
Yet another wave of soul skills came crashing towards Ye Chen's protective cover like a mountain and a sea!
Despite withstanding many of the soul master's skills, Ye Chen's protective cover started to tremble, with cracks appearing in some places. He knew that his protective cover might not last much longer.
The Da Ming Summoning Card hidden in Ye Chen's palm flashed with light; the card lit up, and then the light disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, he sensed a shift in the surroundings
The originally calm lake suddenly started to change. Although there was no wind or waves, ripples appeared on the surface of the lake, spreading in circles.
Everyone was aware of this unusual phenomenon.
Then, the ground around them began to shake, and some Soul Masters started to panic, stopping their attacks on Ye Chen.
"What's going on? Why is the earth trembling?"
"An earthquake? How can that be? According to historical records of the Douluo Continent, earthquakes have not occurred for thousands of years." A knowledgeable Soul Master quickly dismissed the unreliable idea.
"If it's not an earthquake, then there must be soul beasts under this lake, and not just small ones," another scholarly Soul Master speculated while rubbing his chin.
"How do you know that?"
"You see, if it is a small carp when it breathes, it would produce a bubble. The bubble on the lake surface would be small."
"But the ripples on the lake are so large, which means the bubbles are big too, indicating a large Soul Beast…"
As he said this, the scholarly Soul Master suddenly stopped speaking, looking as if his throat had been grabbed. His voice stopped abruptly.
His eyes widened in horror, and he pointed at the lake with a trembling finger, "Y-y-you, look quickly!"
A huge monster appeared on the lake's surface, or rather, a massive soul beast with a peculiar appearance, different from ordinary soul beasts.
The most striking feature was its bull's head and snake body!
