Chapter 30 The Power of the Nine-Hearted Begonia_1

The monotony of the battle doused the previously passionate audience with a cold bucket of water, with some spectators already sprawled out in their chairs, fast asleep.

Jia Le's brows furrowed slightly, sensing that the situation was becoming a bit troublesome… If this fight lacked highlights, then as the commentator, he would also face punishment from the grand soul fighting arena.

He lifted his chrysanthemum-shaped sunglasses again and bellowed with a captivating tone, "It seems that Coffin Bearer is unable to even shatter his opponent's soul skill Shield, could this be the gap between a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and a thousand-year soul ring?"

"However, what method will this talented child use to defeat Coffin Bearer? Let us wait and see!"

But the audience below were not having any of it, feeling as if their money was spent just to watch these three Otherworldly Creatures battle a Shield?

What a joke! As the largest soul fighting arena in Martial Soul City, such a battle was a huge disappointment!

The fairly handsome man propped up his chin and said disinterestedly, "Tch, boring. If Coffin Bearer can't even break a Shield, what's the point of the fight?"

The woman in his arms nodded slightly and sighed, "Exactly, and even though this kid has four terrifying Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, he's just standing there inside the Shield dumbly."

"We demand the grand soul fighting arena refund our gold coins!"

"That's right! Refund the gold coins! Wasting time here, I'd rather go watch the first or second soul fighting arena!"

Hearing so many calls for a refund, Jia Le became anxious and softly tried to calm them down, "Everyone please, cool your tempers, cool your tempers. The most exciting duels often come from the most simplistic battles, there might be an amazing show in just a moment."

Xu Sheng, observing his opponent across from him, who was gasping for air due to excessive consumption of Soul Power, said with a smile in his eyes, "It seems the audience can hardly wait any longer, why don't you just surrender?"

Coffin Bearer glanced at the three creatures he had summoned and muttered under his breath, "I can last another dozen minutes or so. This kid's Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings must be draining a huge amount of Soul Power. If I hold on, I will win!"

With that thought, the corners of his mouth unwittingly turned up as he looked again at Xu Sheng, believing he had seen through him…

"Impossible! I bet maintaining that Shield has also cost you a good deal of Soul Power, right? Your current appearance is nothing more than a bluff," he said.

"Besides, do you think you still have a chance to attack me now?"

He was the one in control of the field! How could he possibly surrender so easily?

Xu Sheng spread his hands out, his tone becoming colder as he spoke to Coffin Bearer, "Eh, so no negotiations then? If I make a move… it's bound to draw blood."

If this guy wouldn't surrender, then there was no reason for him to hold back any longer.

Coffin Bearer snorted with laughter, scornfully saying, "Kid, you really think you can defeat me? If you can beat me, I'll kill myself right here on the spot!"

"White Bone, Bloodthirsty, Troll, continue bombing for me! I refuse to believe this kid can free up his hands… What?" He was only halfway through his sentence when his face turned to shock as he watched a pitch-black Soul Ring light up beneath Xu Sheng's feet again…

How could this be possible, such a Shield should need continual Soul Power infusion! How could he possibly attack someone else while still protecting himself??

Xu Sheng couldn't be bothered to waste words with him, and said coldly, "First soul skill, Begonia Blossoming…"

The Nine-Hearted Begonia in his hands instantly split apart, drifting towards Coffin Bearer like the petals of a thorned, vibrant rose…

Coffin Bearer, standing on the spot, felt a jolt in his pupils as he sensed a deep unease, maybe even a trembling illusion, coming from the petals!

If those petals hit his body, he would die!!!

He hurried towards the three creatures he had summoned, shouting, "Not good! Everyone get back to me!"

The petals of the Nine-Hearted Begonia, slowly drifting with the wind, left traces in the air that brought a bloody-red trail…

The three enormous Otherworldly Creatures, receiving Coffin Bearer's commands, immediately ceased their attack on Xu Sheng and rapidly positioned themselves in front of him…

Gazing at the three towering creatures blocking his way, the Coffin Bearer's heartbeat accelerated as he huffed, "Huff…just in time. This kid's soul skills are truly bizarre! But my creatures are undying!"

Xu Sheng's indifferent eyes were filled with disdain for the three giant creatures, "Defend with these fragile beings? Can they really hold up?"

If it had been another Martial Soul, it might indeed be hindered, but his own Martial Soul was incredibly bloodthirsty!

These creatures should make a good feast, shouldn't they?

A flash of red light shone in Xu Sheng's eyes before hiding back within his pupils…

The three giant creatures subconsciously started to frantically swat away the petals of the Nine-Hearted Begonia falling towards them, but…

Wherever the petals touched, they tightly adhered…

Seeing the petals easily blocked, the Coffin Bearer began to feel smug. How could a few broken petals possibly deal with his powerful creatures?

His vigilance gradually relaxed…

Xu Sheng, observing this scene, slightly curled his lips and silently uttered a few words…

The next moment, his fourth Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring suddenly lit up…

It was his Fourth Soul Skill, Crazy Growth!

Fourth Soul Skill: Blood Litchi Flower can instantaneously cover the target touched by its petals and absorb the target's Soul Power to restore its own.

The sharp-eyed Coffin Bearer, seeing Xu Sheng's fourth Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring light up, furrowed his brow and cautiously observed his surroundings…

He mused to himself, "The kid's fourth soul ring is lit. Has he launched a soul skill?"

In the air, Jia Le also noticed this and exclaimed in surprise, "Huh, that doesn't make sense. The Nine-Hearted Begonia's fourth soul ring is clearly lit, but why has nothing happened?"

A man voiced his confusion, "This kid's Fourth Soul Skill couldn't be nothing, could it?"

A young man nearby refuted the previous statement, "That's unlikely. Even the most trashy 10-year soul ring has a soul skill! A Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring is even less likely to have that issue…"

However, a man closest to the viewing distance seemed to have discovered something. He pointed at the bottom of the three giant creatures in shock, "Wait!! Look, their bodies are starting to grow something red!"

With that person's alert, others quickly noticed something was amiss.

"Hey, it's true, those red petals seem to be from the Nine-Hearted Begonia!"

"I get it! That soul skill must be something like a parasitic!"

...

Hearing the voices from outside the arena, the bewildered Coffin Bearer quickly turned to look at his three giant creatures…

Suddenly, the previously inconspicuous Nine-Hearted Begonia petals clinging to the creatures' bodies began to grow wildly, enveloping their legs completely within a few seconds. Before long, the three giants were effortlessly entangled by the Nine-Hearted Begonia...

The restricted creatures struggled fiercely but to little avail, as if the Nine-Hearted Begonia were made of steel and impossible to tear apart!

The Coffin Bearer, realizing what was happening, turned pale with shock. The Soul Power inside him, already scarce, began to drain away rapidly…

He then turned his anger-filled gaze toward Xu Sheng, "Damn it, you brat, what have you done to me? Why is my Soul Power draining away!!!!!"
