...
With great excitement, Zeng Yi took the lead and ran onto the Soul Fighting Arena.
As soon as Zeng Yi appeared, the audience in the arena shouted enthusiastically, calling out his name and creating a thunderous roar, intensifying the atmosphere.
Seeing so many people cheering for him, Zeng Yi smiled and waved his hand to acknowledge the audience.
"Damn it! It's that Ronin Yi! It seems there's no hope for this Soul Fight." In a VIP box, a middle-aged man with a bulging figure and a bald head cursed upon seeing him on the stage.
He had made a heavy bet on this Soul Fight! Who would have thought that he would end up against the invincible Ronin Yi?
"Hehe, Boss Wang, no need to worry so much. Although this Ronin Yi is strong, the people we invited are not inferior to him. Those geniuses from the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy have no opponents even in the Great Spirit Fighting Arena of the Heaven Dou Empire. Do you think anyone in this small place like Suotuo can match up to their invincible skills?" A middle-aged man dressed luxuriously by his side chuckled lightly and sipped his wine from a tall glass.
After hearing his words, the bald man suddenly brightened up.
"Right! Lin, what you said makes sense. If we think about it, the talents in Heaven Dou City are stronger, so how could they be surpassed by the heroes here in Suotuo? How foolish of me!"
"Now, let's witness the first failure of our legendary Ronin Yi in the Suotuo Great Spirit Fighting Arena!" the nobleman named Lin, with a look of disdain in his eyes, observed the youth on the Soul Fighting Stage.
Zeng Yi waited for a while on the stage until his opponent, a person named Dugu Yan, lazily walked up to the Soul Fighting Stage.
Usually, it's others waiting for me, but this time I have to wait for someone else to come up? Well, considering that you're a delicate girl, I'll let it slide.
Seeing Dugu Yan approach the Soul Fighting Stage, Zeng Yi was somewhat surprised.
With a lazy appearance, she had short purple hair that gave her a somewhat heroic look. She was very beautiful, comparable to the three female classmates from Shrek Academy, all of whom were stunning beauties. Strangely, she had a pair of emerald green eyes that gave off a strange feeling.
What impressed Zeng Yi the most were her long and shapely legs. She wore a short skirt, revealing her long, exquisite legs without any stockings, and her fair, smooth, and delicate skin was extremely tempting, making Zeng Yi feel a burning desire.
Her delicate jade-like feet were bare, stepping on the cold stone floor, which made people feel pity and compassion.
However, Zeng Yi felt a coldness emanating from this woman. It was different from Zhu Zhuqing's temperament. Zhu Zhuqing had a kind of icy temperament, while this woman had a chilling aura, like a poisonous snake.
"You handsome young man, what are you looking at? Is it my feet?" Seeing Zeng Yi's gaze on her feet, Dugu Yan did not get angry, but instead raised her exquisite jade-like right foot, wiggling her little toe. A touch of charm appeared in her green eyes as she flirted with Zeng Yi.
"Yes, exactly! Your feet are indeed beautiful!" Zeng Yi was not fooled by her flirtatious antics. Instead, he stared attentively at her feet, carefully observing and nodding in response.
"Hmm..."
Dugu Yan's smile froze on her face, her charming expression suddenly ceased, and a hint of anger appeared on her beautiful face.
Originally, she was just teasing this seemingly handsome young man, but unexpectedly, he turned the tables on her, which made her unhappy.
It seems I have to treat this young man well!
Looking at the man in front of her, Dugu Yan lightly touched her lips with her slender, emerald green nails, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
As the host announced the start of the Soul Fight, a dark green soul power surged from Dugu Yan's body, and a large green snake appeared behind her. The snake raised its head and let out a hiss towards the sky before dissolving into specks of light that merged into Dugu Yan's body.
Dugu Yan's body also underwent changes, her legs came together and transformed into a green snake tail that twisted and writhed on the cold ground. Her emerald green eyes turned into vertical pupils, like the cold eyes of a snake, firmly fixed on Zeng Yi, as if a venomous snake had found its prey.
Seeing her transformation, Zeng Yi finally understood why she came barefoot. It was because her martial soul was a snake, and her legs would turn into a snake tail when her martial soul was activated. If she wore shoes, they would be torn apart.
Zeng Yi found beast martial souls to be particularly troublesome. Although the body became powerful after the martial soul was activated, the physical appearance became strange. It was fine for women because they mostly ended up looking non-human in appearance after the martial soul was activated. But for men, it wasn't suitable. Take Dai Mubai, for example, he had changed countless sets of clothes after his martial soul was activated, but he had money, so it didn't matter to him. However, if it were an ordinary commoner soul master, they would be impoverished because of this.
But speaking of it, girls like Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing would grow a tailbone after their martial soul was activated.
So the question is, after they deactivate their martial souls, would there be a hole in the back of their pants?
Zeng Yi couldn't help but ponder this, as he had never paid attention to it before.
While he had prepared himself for battle, the man in front of him seemed absent-minded, which made Dugu Yan squint her eyes and stare at her opponent with displeasure.
Is he looking down on me?
Dugu Yan smiled. As a genius Silver Grade Expert from the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena, she had never encountered anyone who dared to look down on her like this.
This legendary figure in the Suotuo Great Spirit Fighting Arena really has confidence in himself, huh~
Three spirit rings lit up, a powerful cold aura emanating from Dugu Yan's body pressed down on Zeng Yi.
"Young man, are you underestimating me, your Big sister?" Dugu Yan's face showed a seductive and cold smile.
She planned to let her venomous snake poison this man thoroughly, and make him never forget the taste of pain.
However, Zeng Yi showed no response to her oppressive soul power. This soul power fluctuation was similar to Dai Mubai's, around thirty-eighth level or so, and it had no effect on him.
"Big Sister? Are you older than me?" Zeng Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes at her words.
Zeng Yi himself was already fifteen years old and had a thirty-sixth level soul power. This woman was already thirty-eighth level, and he didn't believe she was younger than him.
Moreover, Zeng Yi seemed to guess the woman's identity.
In the original work, during the initial period, Shrek's group would encounter a powerful team in Suotuo City, called the Emperor Team, which marked the end of their journey in Suotuo City.
And this person in front of him was probably one of the members of that team.
Zeng Yi remembered that there was a girl in that team with a snake martial soul, and she should be the girl in front of him.
Since they appeared, his journey in Shrek Academy would soon come to an end.
Thinking about this, Zeng Yi's mouth curled up with a smile.
His right hand rested on the hilt of his sword.
Looking at Dugu Yan, Zeng Yi's gaze became sharp, and he lightly smiled, saying, "Don't worry, just because you're a girl doesn't mean I'll give up on the five hundred gold soul coins."
He really wanted to know how a soul master with a snake martial soul launched attacks. Would she use her tail or poison?
Dugu Yan's eyes flickered with a chilly light within the purple mist, as she released her third spirit skill in an instant.
~Violet Jaded Phosphorus Poison~
Dugu Yan, with her captivating purple lips slightly parted, exhaled a bunch of purple smoke, which quickly expanded and spread on the Soul Fighting Stage, filling the area and rushing towards Zeng Yi's position.
Her martial soul, Jade Phosphor Serpent, was an extremely poisonous type of snake martial soul, and its poison was fierce and ruthless. No one apart from herself and her grandfather could detoxify it.
As a control-type soul master who used poison to control the battlefield, most of the area was covered with her poisonous mist. Once her opponent entered the mist, they would soon be overcome by the snake venom.
This fierce poison mist was difficult for even a Soul Sage-level soul master to bear, let alone a Soul King. It would be impossible for them to suppress the venom.
I'll make you kneel and beg me to detoxify you later, hehe.
With a mischievous smile, Dugu Yan's eyes twinkled, and she looked at the man opposite her.
Is it really poison? How interesting!
Seeing the purple mist spreading towards him, Zeng Yi chuckled.
Unlike Tang San, he wasn't well-versed in poisons and didn't know how to detoxify them. However, this poisonous gas was carried through the air, and as long as he didn't smell it, he wouldn't be poisoned.
I wonder if you've heard of my title, the Hurricane Swordmaster?
"Gale of the Whistling Wind!"
Zeng Yi smiled faintly, softly whispering words, as an invisible wind enveloped his body.
Feeling the airflow around his body accelerating and hearing the whistling sound of the wind in his ears, Dugu Yan's mood sank involuntarily.
Damn it! It's wind!
