Chapter 268: Battle of the Genius Soul Saints

The battle continued. This one-on-one fight was probably the most thrilling battle of this tournament. Both Long Aotian and Yan Feng, relying purely on their formidable body martial souls and the toughness of the Bone Dragon's true form, engaged in a hard-hitting, straightforward clash.

Many commoners came to watch the Soul Fighting Tournament not for intricate tactics or quick knockout battles, but to see the dazzling martial souls, soul rings, and the blood-pumping action. Although the fight between Long Aotian and Yan Feng lacked flashy soul skills, the sight of a human battling a giant bone dragon was a spectacle in itself.

The cheering for this match was the loudest in history. Hands transformed into giant swords and hammers waved through the air, clashing directly with the huge bone claws of the Bone Dragon's true form. The thunderous sounds of their impacts continued to explode in the air, breaking the platform beneath them into pieces, with stones, dust, and metal debris flying everywhere.

The exhilarating fight between two powerful Soul Saints was too much for the Soul Fighting Arena, crafted by the Sun-Moon Empire, to handle.

—Boom! A Deathly Bone Claw clashed with the Kuang Shen Slash once again.

Long Aotian used the recoil to retreat several meters, his skin transformed into swords and hammers, reverting to his hands. However, his hands were now covered in cracks like shattered porcelain, with blood seeping out and trembling slightly.

Yan Feng, utilizing the same force, flapped the Bone Dragon's wings and also retreated several meters, his face grave as he locked eyes with Long Aotian across the distance.

While Long Aotian's hands were badly damaged, the Bone Dragon's claws weren't faring much better. If Long Aotian's skin only showed cracks, then the Bone Dragon's claws under Yan Feng were almost shattered.

Sharp bone claws were riddled with cracks, many pieces of bone having been blasted away, leaving gaps. What was once a pair of artistically beautiful claws now nearly resembled a war-damaged relic.

"Thrilling!" Long Aotian, ignoring the injuries on his hands, laughed heartily with delight. Among his peers, only one could defeat him, and only a few could match him, but only Yan Feng could make him fight with such enjoyment on the front lines.

It's rare to have such an opponent! Yan Feng, usually shadowy, also showed a hint of a smile. If one ignored the fierce and terrifying Bone Dragon below him, he almost looked like any normal person.

Great warriors often recognize each other's strengths. Long Aotian felt this way towards him, and Yan Feng felt the same.

Even though Yan Feng had tried every means to exhaust Long Aotian's soul power before the match, even at the cost of his teammates' lives, to increase his chances of killing Long Aotian, once the fight truly began, Yan Feng also held respect for the battle itself.

The world of Douluo Dalu is strange in this way. Knowing that announcing one's martial soul and soul power before a fight would alert the opponent, fighters still follow this convention before battling. No matter how many schemes they use at other times, standing in front of the public, on the stage of the arena, the profession of a soul master is all about honor in fighting.

[Right, Slyther Academy, you who cheat in matches?]

"Let's settle this with one move," Long Aotian said, his smile fading into a serious expression.

Yan Feng nodded slightly, adding softly, "This move will decide both the victor and life or death."

"You, as the leader of the Body Sect team, killed five of our people. This debt, you must repay with your life."

"I won't say anything grand. If it weren't for the methods of you evil soul masters, everyone would deserve death," Long Aotian said with a slight smile, his soul rings swirling up and down his body. "But as we stand here in the arena, it's all about skill—if you have it!"

Long Aotian grinned audaciously, a brilliant silver light suddenly bursting forth. His body seemed to be cast from silver, floating in the light column, his gaze still arrogant and defiant.

"You're right, it's all about skill," Yan Feng acknowledged seriously, his seventh soul ring lighting up again.

Martial Soul True Body Variant·Bone Dragon Possession! Yan Feng's bone dragon roared upwards, a dark blue light covering it, and then the enormous bone dragon began to merge with him, a dragon-shaped armor of ice and bone forming around him.

This was his second phase of the Martial Soul True Body; the first phase was to summon the martial soul physically, and the second was to merge it, enhancing himself comprehensively.

Having acquired the seventh soul ring, Yan Feng had completed his transformation, not just increasing his status in the eyes of Zhong Liwu but also cementing his position as the next leader of the Spirit Sect.

"Ha ha ha… come!" "Let's fight!"

The fierce desire to battle burned in their eyes as they quickly approached each other in the center of the arena. Long Aotian, his body almost hidden under the brilliant silver light, stomped the ground, leaping into the air. His waist twisted like rubber, gathering force, his hands raised high, the skin of both hands twisting and finally merging into a giant battle-axe.

"Heaven-Man Unity·Kuang Shen Slash!"

Yan Feng, not to be outdone, shimmered with dark blue light, wisps of mist emanating from him, frosting the arena floor. His six soul rings lit up in succession, and when the sixth, a ten-thousand-year soul ring, emitted a profound black light, a huge phantom of a bone dragon's head also coalesced around him.

"Extreme Abyss Ice Break!"

Brilliant silver and dark blue lights rushed together, the domineering battle-axe and the sinister dragon head phantom violently collided.

The impact was earth-shattering.

The arena couldn't withstand the aftershocks of the battle between the two genius Soul Saints any longer, shattering completely under their clash, a massive fissure splitting the arena in two beneath their feet.

As the chaotic soul power fluctuations gradually subsided, the figures of Long Aotian and Yan Feng were revealed, now having switched places.
