Chapter: 165 First Confrontation

...

"Lightning Force!"

The lightning flashed and shimmered in the air like small snakes.

Endless thunder roared, releasing immense power.

With the roar of a dragon, countless electric snakes transformed into numerous lightning arrows, finally converging into a huge lightning arrow that carried boundless power, striking against the fierce and sharp sword aura coming towards it.

Boom!

The sword aura collided with the lightning arrow, producing a loud explosion that resounded throughout the Great Spirit Arena. The lightning arrow instantly split open this sword aura and shot towards Zeng Yi.

This surprised Zeng Yi a bit, but not unexpectedly.

This sword attack was a relatively casual one, and it was easy to deal with the control-type female soul master who had no defense and powerful attacks. However, against a strong assault-type soul master with a top-tier beast martial soul, along with his full-powered soul skill, this sword aura naturally had no effect.

Faced with the arrow carrying terrifying lightning energy flying towards him, Zeng Yi didn't utter a word of surprise. He gripped the sword handle with his right hand and stood still, waiting quietly.

In his silver eyes, the reflected lightning arrow grew larger and almost reached his body.

This sudden change made everyone's heartstrings tighten involuntarily. They held their breaths, their gazes tightly fixed on the scene on the Great Spirit Arena.

In an instant, another sword light appeared.

The sharp and fierce sword intent seemed capable of severing the sky, surging upward.

The lightning arrow was cut in half from the middle, splitting into two, and shot towards the ground on both sides. The lightning energy exploded, and two surging energies clashed, sweeping through the entire field.

"Yu Tianheng! Why did you come up?" Seeing the familiar figure blocking in front of her, Dugu Yan exclaimed in surprise.

The man called Yu Tianheng didn't speak, his expression extremely serious as he stared at the area where the lightning explosion occurred.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, a strong wind swept up from the center of the explosion, whistling across the entire field, blowing away the smoke and dust of the explosion in the blink of an eye, allowing the audience of the Great Spirit Arena to clearly see the situation on the stage.

At this moment, three figures appeared on the Great Spirit Arena. In addition to Zeng Yi and Dugu Yan, there was a third person. This person was recognized by the audience of the Great Spirit Arena. He was the black-haired youth who won the previous battle.

Zeng Yi's figure appeared in Yu Tianheng's line of sight. Seeing that he was unharmed under his second soul skill, only his clothes and long hair were slightly messy due to the wind, Yu Tianheng's expression became even more serious.

This person is really strong!

Seeing this person standing in front of that female soul master, being cautious and vigilant as if protecting her own child, Zeng Yi found it somewhat funny.

It reminded him of someone, Tang San!

When Xiao Wu was in danger, Tang San had the same expression.

But is it really okay to interfere in someone else's battle like this?

Zeng Yi didn't bother with him and instead turned his gaze to the host below the Great Spirit Arena.

"Hey, how do you explain this situation?"

Because Zeng Yi was currently in a state of [Sword of Selflessness], he emitted an indifferent aura. The host, being stared at by Zeng Yi's silver eyes filled with ruthless indifference, felt as if he was being targeted by the god of death, causing his body to tremble involuntarily.

Due to the sudden turn of events, which was unexpected, the host was also taken aback. It was only after Zeng Yi reminded him that he quickly ran up to the stage.

"Sir, by intruding into someone else's battle like this, you have violated the bottom line of the Great Spirit Arena." The host spoke to Yu Tianheng with a serious tone, his gaze already showing some anger.

If it were someone else, he wouldn't waste any words; he would just have someone drag this violator off stage, give them a lesson, and permanently put them on the Great Spirit Arena's blacklist.

But this person was different!

Judging from this person's martial soul, he had the number one beast martial soul in the world, belonging to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family was one of the three upper sects. This was not something their Great Spirit Arena could easily provoke. Moreover, this person already had such strength at such a young age, he must be a core disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, so it would be even more inappropriate to deal with him.

"Sorry! I had to step in when I saw my comrade-in-arms in danger," Yu Tianheng said apologetically.

The host understood the situation, as incidents like this had happened in the Great Spirit Arena before. However, for people with significant backgrounds, they tended to turn a blind eye and let it slide. But for ordinary soul masters without backgrounds, they wouldn't be as lenient.

"I hope there won't be a next time!" The host snorted coldly, then said, "Since that's the case, we will declare you as the losers of this battle. Do you have any objections?"

At this time, Dugu Yan stepped forward, her gaze somewhat unwilling as she looked at Zeng Yi, and said, "No, I lost."

If it weren't for Yu Tianheng blocking that attack for her, she would have been seriously injured and lost the ability to fight again. This outcome was already the best.

The host agreed to her declaration, then turned to Zeng Yi. His serious face instantly turned into a smile as he said, "Mr. Ronin Yi, how do you feel about this result?"

The host's attitude had changed completely.

Due to today's battle, their Great Spirit Arena valued Zeng Yi even more. Originally, Zeng Yi was the biggest face within Suotuo City and already had a tremendous fan base, bringing them considerable income for the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena. However, because the nobles in the city recently invited the genius soul masters from the Heaven Dou Empire's Heaven Dou Imperial City to compete in their Great Spirit Arena, the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena suffered losses.

They originally wanted to invite Zeng Yi to help them regain some face. However, before they even sought his help, he encountered the Heaven Dou Imperial City's genius silver-ranked expert.

Due to the fact that the silver-ranked expert that came from the Heaven Dou Imperial City were from such a major place, the officials at the Great Spirit Arena were worried that Zeng Yi might not be their match. However, after this battle, they were reassured.

Even against the Heaven Dou Imperial City's genius silver-ranked soul, their legendary star of the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena, Ronin Yi, could completely suppress him. This made them feel proud.

Although Zeng Yi didn't agree to become a contracted soul master of the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena, this was still where his Spirit battle career started!

The host had already made a decision. Later, he would go and apply to his superiors to make Ronin Yi an official honorary soul of the Great Spirit Arena. Judging by Ronin Yi's performance, his future achievements would definitely be extraordinary, and a title was highly anticipated!

They should improve relations now, so it would be easier in the future.

Not only the host, but also the person in charge in the VIP room at the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena thought the same.

"It doesn't matter, winning is enough."

Zeng Yi said indifferently, no longer caring. He deactivated his [Sword of Selflessness] state.

The sword in his hand was sheathed, and he glanced at the man with flickering lightning across from him, then turned and left.

Being ignored like this made Yu Tianheng somewhat unhappy, but he couldn't say anything in this situation.

Watching Zeng Yi's figure grow smaller, gradually disappearing from sight.

He had deeply remembered this man's appearance.

There was actually someone like this in the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena, truly exciting!

Yu Tianheng couldn't help but clench his fist. Lightning flickered and danced on his arm, showing his excitement.

He knew that it wouldn't be long before he would face this man.

At that time, they could have a good battle and see who was stronger!
