Just as they were contemplating further conversation, even the sounds from inside the battle arena pierced through to the outside of the stadium…
"Xu Sheng, Xu Sheng!!"
The maid snapped back to reality, thinking to herself, "This isn't good, if something happens to Xu Sheng, the situation will be dire!"
She immediately turned to Gui Mei, cupped her fists, and said, "Senior, we should return to the stadium. Xu Sheng's opponent, after all, is a Soul Douluo Warrior. Surely, you don't want anything to happen to him!"
The latter, however, waved his hand dismissively, saying, "There's no need, a mere Soul Douluo is not a match for Xu Sheng!"
The maid was stunned, repeating in a daze, "A mere... A mere Soul Douluo? Not a match for Xu Sheng?"
Does… does this senior know what he is saying?
That's a Soul Douluo Warrior, yet in the mouth of the former, they seem to be no match for Xu Sheng!
With this thought in mind, she forced a smile and said, "Sen... Senior, you must be joking. I admit that Xu Sheng is indeed powerful, but facing a Soul Douluo Warrior like this, he might still find it somewhat challenging, right?"
She took the former's words as a casual joke…
Gui Mei simply gave her a deep look, offering no explanation…
"Is that so? Then let us wait and see!"
As she saw the other person leave, the maid's expression grew dark…
What background does this Xu Sheng have, to make a Title Douluo so loyal to him?
Could it be that he is from the upper three families?
Indeed, it must be so!
The powers qualified to cultivate such a genius on the entire Continent, after all, are only a few!
After shaking her head, she cast aside her previous thoughts and re-entered the stadium…
...
On the battle platform!
The Soul Douluo who launched another series of attacks and accurately hit Xu Sheng…
Looking at Xu Sheng's unscathed appearance, he exclaimed with confusion, "You... You were just hit by me, weren't you? Why aren't you injured in the slightest?"
Although his previous attacks were restrained, they should have left some damage!
Xu Sheng chuckled lightly, "Don't misunderstand, you just broke my defense, that doesn't mean you've hurt me!"
"To put it simply, what you hit were just the vines of the Nine-Hearted Begonia coiling around me!"
These words sounded particularly grating in the man's ears, and he clenched his fists, growling, "You dare to underestimate me! I was originally planning to hold back and spare your life. How infuriating!"
"Third soul skill, Spatial Rend!!"
His third soul ring lit up, and all his surging Soul Power poured into his right hand…
After taking aim at Xu Sheng, he swung fiercely…
The terrifying force instantly raised the surrounding air pressure, creating an invisible shock wave…
It erupted with a force that intended to sweep across the entire platform…
Upon noticing this, Xu Sheng didn't foolishly take the attack head-on, but also released a soul skill…
The pervading Nine-Hearted Begonia quietly shattered into particles, solidifying into a 360-degree, angle-free, crimson Protective Barrier around him…
As the shock wave hit, it unleashed a massive amount of energy…
"Crack"
The crimson protective barrier began to crack and continued to spread, clearly on the verge of shattering...
"See that? Xu Sheng, your defense is worthless in front of me!"
As he finished speaking, several more Spatial Rends were unleashed, attacking Xu Sheng from all directions...
And at the moment they converged, they exploded simultaneously...
Even stirring up gusts of wind throughout the entire arena...
At this moment, the spectators below all stood up involuntarily, their faces filled with horror, "It's over, Xu Sheng is having such a difficult time withstanding a single attack, with so many hits at the same time, he's afraid... if not dead, then crippled!"
"Indeed, I, with the strength of a Soul Emperor, would probably be unable to catch that hit, let alone so many, Xu Sheng, he probably has a one in ten chance of survival!"
"Ah, Xu Sheng is too arrogant; if he had trained for a few more years, he might have been unbeatable in the Sea God's Island arena, what a pity!"
"Won? Really won?? Hahahaha, that's great, it was worth spending all my savings on that Soul Douluo!!"
"Xu Sheng lost... how could he lose, damn it, does that mean I'm going to lose everything? Could Xu Sheng's consecutive victories really be rigged??"
"It's over, Xu Sheng is definitely done for, how did he find the courage to challenge a Soul Douluo, thinking it would be as easy as facing a Soul Emperor Soul Saint?"
"Easy to face a Soul Emperor Soul Saint? Are you out of your mind? But... Xu Sheng does seem outmatched by this Soul Douluo Warrior indeed!"
"No, I don't believe it, with Xu Sheng's overwhelming power against Soul Emperors and Soul Saints, his true strength should be on par with a Soul Douluo, how could he lose the duel so easily!"
Even the host was stunned, "Xu Sheng... he's dead just like that?"
But the next second, as if realizing something...
He immediately came to his senses, speaking with excitement, "Everyone, look, Xu Sheng isn't dead! He's still alive!!"
There, on the battlefield, Xu Sheng's figure emerged, slightly disheveled but with no apparent external injuries...
Xu Sheng dusted off his sleeves and looked up at the Soul Douluo Warrior towering several heads above him, expressionless, "Truly terrifying power. Had I not been prepared in advance, perhaps I would have been injured!"
The man rubbed his eyes in disbelief and exclaimed, "You... you really blocked it, how is that possible!"
Even with the cultivation level of a Soul Saint, it should be impossible to fully withstand his surprise attack!
Xu Sheng remained mostly unemotional, "Sorry, I'm not injured, I've disappointed you!"
The man clenched his fists, displeased but still forcing himself to say, "Hmph, it was sheer luck that you dodged my third soul skill, but I haven't used my full strength yet!"
"Otherwise, you would have been torn into pieces a long time ago!"
That last hit had nearly seventy to eighty percent of his effort behind it; this kid's strength was probably not as simple as it seemed!
"Xu... Xu Sheng is still alive, that's great, I knew the duel wouldn't end like this!"
"Phew, that really scared me; if Xu Sheng had lost the duel, I would have been ruined!"
"This guy... how did he block it? The opponent is a Soul Douluo Warrior, could it be that he actually has the strength to match a Soul Douluo?"
"Of course, Xu Sheng's consecutive victories are enough to prove that his strength surpasses that of Soul Emperors and Soul Saints. In my opinion, this Soul Douluo is no match for him!"
"Cut it out, it was just good luck he wasn't injured, does anyone seriously think he can win?"
"You're right, it's luck, that's all. If Xu Sheng can win, then I'll regurgitate everything I ate yesterday!!"
