Chapter 233 The Shock Brought by the 100,000-Year Soul Ring.
According to the rules of Douluo Continent, at the beginning of a Soul Battle, if one side announces its Martial Soul and Soul Power level, the other side must also announce the same, so as to ensure fairness.
At this moment, Qiu Xu wanted to understand Kong Xuan's martial spirit and soul power in this way so that he could better deal with him in the future.
Kong Xuan chuckled inwardly at the other party's little scheme.
He could easily claim that the Sun and Moon Sect doesn't have this rule to conceal his martial soul and soul power level.
However, doing so would be meaningless for him, as he wouldn't be able to hide it when facing the Contra later.
Kong Xuan was somewhat surprised by Qiu Xu's martial soul, since Shrek Academy didn't have a soul master with this martial soul in the original work.
The Soul-Breaking Spear—this is the inherited martial spirit of the Po Clan, one of the four major affiliated sects of the Haotian Sect ten thousand years ago.
The Soul-Shattering Spear abandons other attributes, maximizing its attack power to the extreme. In fact, according to Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, the Soul-Shattering Spear's attack power ranks among the top three martial spirits of the time.
Although many of Yu Xiaogang's theories are not convincing, the attack power of the Soul-Breaking Spear should be truly amazing.
Yang Wudi, at level 82, defeated the level 92 Serpent Spear Douluo head-on with the Soul-Breaking Spear, demonstrating the power of this martial soul.
Gun-type martial spirits are not commonly seen, and Kong Xuan became interested at this moment.
A faint smile played on his lips as he thought to himself, "You want to know about my martial spirit and soul power? Then I'll show you clearly!"
A long spear, as clear and translucent as crystal, appeared in Kong Xuan's right hand, its shaft radiating an incandescent light.
This gun looks extremely beautiful, but any Soul Master can feel its power.
Kong Xuan's voice slowly rang out: "Kong Xuan, Martial Soul Sky-Piercing Spear, Level 65 Powerful Attack Type Battle Soul Emperor!"
At the same time, spirit rings rose up from beneath Kong Xuan's feet.
Purple, purple, black, black, black...
From the very first spirit ring, it challenged everyone's understanding. Even though many people present had witnessed Kong Xuan's terrifying spirit ring ratio, they were still shocked when they saw it now.
After Kong Xuan broke through to the Soul Emperor level, he had not yet made a real move at the academy, and now his sixth soul ring was being shown to everyone for the first time.
In an instant, the originally noisy battle arena seemed to be silenced, all sounds disappeared, and everyone stared in disbelief at Kong Xuan in the battle arena.
Even the referee, Elder Song, who was in the air above, was momentarily stunned, a look of surprise flashing across his face.
Because they all saw that Kong Xuan's sixth spirit ring was a vivid, blood-red color!
Sixth Soul Ring in 100,000 Years!
After a brief silence, the Soul Arena erupted with discussions far exceeding those before. The 100,000-year sixth spirit ring had a tremendous impact on these Shrek Academy geniuses.
Those inner court students who hadn't taken Kong Xuan seriously were now dumbfounded. They never expected that the genius of the Sun and Moon who they had previously looked down upon was actually a shark that had plunged into the pond.
Some students even stubbornly argued, "Even if his spirit rings are of high age, his combat strength isn't necessarily very strong."
Then, noticing the gazes directed at him, the student's voice grew softer and softer.
As top students of Shrek Academy's inner court, they naturally knew what conditions were required to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring when they reached the Soul Emperor level.
Kong Xuan's ability to do this demonstrates that his physical and mental strength have reached the level of a Title Douluo.
How could someone like that be weak in combat?
In the highest exclusive seats of the spectator stands, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion couldn't help but recall the words Yan Shaozhe had said two days ago.
"What if... he really wins?!"
Originally, these elders did not believe that Kong Xuan could win, but now, after seeing his spirit rings, their judgment has been shaken.
Perhaps, Kong Xuan really can win!
In the Soul Arena, Qiu Xu, who was opposite Kong Xuan, looked incredulous, his right hand holding the Soul-Breaking Spear trembling slightly.
As Kong Xuan's opponent, he was undoubtedly the one most affected, and now it was his turn to be the one standing still.
At this moment, Kong Xuan made a move.
He took a step and slowly walked towards the other side.
At the same time, his voice rang out clearly: "What? After seeing my spirit rings, you don't even have the courage to make a move?!"
Kong Xuan's voice boomed in Qiu Xu's mind like thunder. He was indeed shocked by Kong Xuan's spirit ring, but not to the point that he didn't even have the courage to make a move.
"ah!!!"
He shouted, seemingly fighting against his inner fear, or perhaps cheering himself on.
In short, after that shout, he finally moved.
With a powerful sprint, Qiu Xu dashed forward, his target Kong Xuan, who was slowly walking towards him.
As he charged forward, his first, third, and fifth spirit rings lit up one after another.
Shatter, Explode, and Penetrate—three powerful amplification soul skills were used simultaneously, increasing the attack power of his Shattering Soul Spear several times over. Furthermore, his subsequent attacks would also have the effects of penetration and armor-piercing.
With the release of his soul skill, Qiu Xu's aura underwent a dramatic change. Enveloped in battle intent, he gave off an aura of unstoppable momentum.
Kong Xuan, however, remained unhurried and slowly walked forward.
In the blink of an eye, Qiu Xu rushed to Kong Xuan's side.
The moment Qiu Xu saw Kong Xuan's spirit ring, he had already given up hope of defeating Kong Xuan.
However, as an inner court student of Shrek Academy and a Soul Master striving for a title, he could not retreat without a fight.
Having figured these things out, especially after being provoked by Kong Xuan's words, he disregarded everything and went all out.
The Soul-Shattering Spear is a fighting style that completely abandons defense and pursues the ultimate attack!
"call out!"
The spear shot out like a dragon, its sharp cry piercing the air!
That spear, imbued with Qiu Xu's entire soul power and fighting spirit, pierced straight for Kong Xuan's face with an indomitable momentum, its speed so great that it left only a blur in the air!
Before the gun even arrived, the sharp wind from the gun had already ruffled the stray hairs on Kong Xuan's forehead.
Faced with this fierce attack, Kong Xuan's reaction was surprisingly calm.
He didn't activate any spirit rings, didn't use any spirit skills, and didn't even move his feet an inch.
He simply raised the Sky-Piercing Spear with his right hand, and with an extremely subtle flick of his wrist, the spear tip drew a perfect and smooth arc in the air.
bite!
A crisp, melodious, yet slightly abrupt, metallic clang rang out.
The tip of the Sky-Piercing Spear struck the shaft of the Soul-Breaking Spear with unparalleled precision.
Qiu Xu's seemingly fierce and invincible shot was deflected and neutralized by Kong Xuan's skillful shot, grazing Kong Xuan's ear and piercing empty air!
"What?!"
Qiu Xu's pupils contracted, and he was horrified.
He felt that his spear, which had combined three great soul skills, had been manipulated by a clever force, completely losing its accuracy and power!
Despite his initial failure to land a shot, Qiu Xu, with his extensive combat experience, remained calm and composed.
His arm muscles bulged, his soul power surged, and the Soul-Breaking Spear danced like the wind, transforming into countless sharp spear shadows!
Thrust, pick, sweep, smash...
Various attacks rained down on Kong Xuan's vital points like a storm.
However, despite the dazzling onslaught, Kong Xuan remained firmly rooted to the spot.
He held the Sky-Piercing Spear in one hand, parrying, blocking, deflecting, or deflecting with surprisingly small movements. Yet, he always managed to neutralize Qiu Xu's storm-like attacks with minimal force and the most precise angles at the last second.
The clanging and clattering sounds continued incessantly, but were always rapid and short, completely lacking the intense, loud crashing sound that everyone had expected.
Both possess the spirit of a gun, but their skill in gunplay is clearly inferior!
Qiu Xu's marksmanship is ruthless, swift, and full of power, making excellent use of the Soul Breaking Spear's extreme-flow soul ring configuration.
However, Kong Xuan had been learning spear techniques from Yun Ming since childhood, and had comprehended the Kongming Spear Intent many years ago.
His understanding and application of power reached a level of subtlety, with each shot embodying his essential understanding of the weapon "gun".
In Kong Xuan's eyes, Qiu Xu's offensive, though seemingly fierce, was actually full of unnecessary waste of energy and obvious patterns in its trajectory, revealing numerous flaws.
In just a dozen or so breaths of exchange, Qiu Xu was already sweating profusely and breathing rapidly.
He felt as if he were frantically attacking a bottomless vortex, all his power being swallowed up and dissolved, all in vain, and a sense of powerlessness and frustration arose spontaneously.
Kong Xuan, however, remained unchanged in expression throughout, and even his breathing remained steady and long.
The distinction between superior and inferior is self-evident.
In the stands, the previously noisy audience had fallen silent, many staring wide-eyed in shock at what was happening on the ring.
Everyone had the same thought: the gap between the two was... too big!
Although both are Soul Emperors, Qiu Xu's soul power is even slightly higher.
In terms of marksmanship alone, Qiu Xu was like a child waving a stick around randomly, while Kong Xuan was a master of marksmanship who had immersed himself in it for many years.
"Your gun is malfunctioning!"
Before he finished speaking, Kong Xuan suddenly exerted force with his wrist. The Sky-Piercing Spear, like a venomous dragon that had been lying dormant for a long time, broke through Qiu Xu's already scattered defense at an incredible angle the instant it blocked Qiu Xu's attack, and at the same time knocked away his arm.
A supple yet irresistible force penetrated, causing Qiu Xu's right arm and half of his body to stiffen, and his soul power almost dissipated.
Kong Xuan's Sky-Piercing Spear was now at Qiu Xu's throat, its sharp aura sending a chill down Qiu Xu's spine, as if he had just escaped death.
His eyes trembled slightly, and he swallowed hard, knowing that he had already lost!
"First match, Kong Xuansheng!"
Old Song's voice rang out, announcing the result of this battle of spirits.
She couldn't help but glance at Kong Xuan a few more times. She really didn't expect that Kong Xuan, a boy who was only fifteen years old, would have such profound and exquisite marksmanship.
The entire room fell silent for a moment, then erupted into a huge uproar!
He defeated a Soul Emperor with a top-tier weapon spirit so easily, without even using a single soul skill, relying solely on the most basic marksmanship!
Kong Xuan used facts to show everyone that he had the strength to challenge the inner court students of Shrek Academy!
