The drizzling rain resembled translucent silk as it fell from the light grey sky. Brushed by the gentle breeze, it spun and drifted in the wind, as if it were dancing a moving dance.

This early morning drizzle added a touch of dreamy color to Heaven Dou City.

A pitch-black figure broke through the curtain of rain and walked over from the white mist in the distance. His elegant jet-black hair was gradually drenched by the rain, and even his handsome and fair cheeks were covered with sparkling raindrops. The raindrops trailed down his chiseled face and dripped onto the muddy ground.

The youth was completely soaked, but he didn't seem to notice it. A long black sword hung from his white belt, its hilt and scabbard pure black. His eyes were sharp, and his footsteps were steady and rhythmic as he calmly walked toward the end of the street.

This youth strolling in the rain was naturally Fang Xuan, who had just left the Heaven Dou Auction House. After staying in the secret room for several days to absorb the Glorious Golden Torso Bone, he didn't linger for long. He immediately headed for his rented residence.

The advancement match was about to begin, and he still had some preparations to do. He still needed to adapt and temper his newly acquired soul-bone skill. Only then would he be able to increase his strength further.

The torrential rain made the streets of the Imperial City somewhat deserted. There were very few pedestrians, and occasionally, a few oil-paper umbrellas floated through the curtain of rain.

Fang Xuan stopped in front of a tea stall. As if sensing something, he raised his head and looked toward the faint mist in front of him. His eyes shone with a cold light.

"Little bastard! Go to hell!"

A thunderous roar exploded in front of him. A black figure tore through the curtain of rain like a cheetah. Two yellow, two purple, and one black soul rings shone on his slender and muscular body. His berserk aura wreaked havoc like a typhoon.

His killing intent soared to the heavens. His steel-like fists exploded through the air, and invisible ripples spread through the air. Mixed with the might of a ferocious tiger, he ruthlessly smashed down on Fang Xuan's head.

A chilly wind blew against Fang Xuan's face, lifting the hair in front of his forehead. Even in the face of such a powerful enemy, his deep, starry eyes remained calm.

"Sword Draw"

With a flick of his thumb, the black sword was unsheathed.

Boom.

The long blade tore through the curtain of rain and transformed into a crescent-shaped blade light, forcefully cleaving the five-ringed Soul King in half. Blood splattered everywhere as his body was torn apart. Bright red organs and eerie white bones scattered all over the ground.

After killing a Soul King with a single slash, Fang Xuan remained as calm as a freak as he vigilantly scanned his surroundings.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several air-piercing sounds rang out from all four directions at the same time. For a moment, Fang Xuan felt like he was in the middle of a whirlpool of murderous intent, and his hair stood on end.

"Fang Xuan! You must die today"

"Kill"

The four Soul Kings let out explosive roars. Their faces were sinister as they attacked at lightning speed. Their bodies shot through the air like cannonballs as they charged toward Fang Xuan with murderous intent.

Their murderous intent surged as they vowed to kill Fang Xuan right here and now.

"You want to kill me? You scoundrels aren't qualified to do so"

Fang Xuan shouted coldly as the blood in his body began to boil. Golden Soul Power gushed out like magma. Within his dantian, the Ice Phoenix martial soul instantly awakened, and an extremely terrifying power of frost erupted.

"Ice Sword Draw! Ice Explosion Spiral Dance"

An icy-blue blade light suddenly turned cold as it circled Fang Xuan's body in an arc. Rolling cold air surged out in all directions, and whether it was the raindrops falling from the sky or the rainwater flowing on the ground, everything was instantly frozen.

The four Soul Kings were horrified. Before they could even scream, an icy blue light flashed before their eyes, and they all turned into ice sculptures.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The moment Fang Xuan sheathed his sword, the four ice sculptures exploded at the same time. The four Soul Kings were smashed to pieces on the spot, and they died without a burial ground.

[Congratulations, you've killed five Soul Kings. Reward: 50000 Sword Draws, Soul Power x 50000]

Fang Xuan could feel that the surging Soul Power in his body had increased slightly. His Soul Power was growing steadily amid the battle.

However, after receiving the reward, he didn't reveal a look of joy like before. Instead, his expression became even more serious. He narrowed his eyes and stared unblinkingly at the end of the fog in front of him.

He said coldly, "Come out, stop hiding. These five Soul Kings aren't worthy of killing me. Haven't you been waiting near the Heaven Dou Auction House for a long time …?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold and surprised voice gradually sounded.

"Oh, you knew that someone wanted to kill you, yet you still dared to come out alone. Should I praise your courage, or laugh at your stupidity …?"

Not long after, a tall figure walked out from the fog. His entire body was covered in a thick and tight black robe that concealed all his secrets. No one could see his appearance.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black. Seven dazzling soul rings were faintly discernible on his body.

They released a dazzling light that pierced through the fog and tore apart the curtain of rain. A monstrous killing intent was unleashed.

Seven-ringed Soul Sage.

Fang Xuan's eyes narrowed as he licked the corner of his lips in excitement. He stared coldly at the black-robed Soul Sage who was slowly approaching him. He looked as if he had seen his prey and couldn't wait to tear him to shreds.

A year ago, Fang Xuan was on his way from Soto City to Heaven Dou City when a Soul Sage sent by Blake ambushed him. At that time, he was still a puny Soul Ancestor. He wasn't a match for Blake, who was a Soul Sage. He couldn't resist at all. He could only be

trampled on and almost died.

He still couldn't forget that hatred and humiliation.

A Soul Sage.

Today, he was going to fight this Soul Sage who was at

At least Rank 70.

Fang Xuan's eyes were resolute. The blood in his veins was surging and roaring. His entire body was filled with fighting spirit.

Compared to a year ago, his strength had increased by more than ten times. He had already obtained his fifth soul ring. His soul power had also broken through to Rank 13. All of his martial skills had been upgraded to high grades. He also possessed the Massacre Blade Qi and other peerless blade skills that increased his fighting strength.

There was no way he couldn't fight a Soul Sage.

Furthermore, he had just obtained a powerful trump card. Even if he couldn't defeat a Soul Sage, it was enough to put him in an invincible position and allow him to escape safely.

This was the source of his confidence that he dared to walk out of the auction house alone.

"Little bastard, what's with that look in your eyes? Are you going to hunt me down? You're overestimating yourself"

The black-robed Soul Sage noticed the excitement in Fang Xuan's eyes. He couldn't help but frown. He was a Soul Sage. No matter where he went, he was an overlord. Even the mayor of a city and the nobles of the empire had to treat him with respect.

But now, Fang Xuan was treating him like prey. How could he not be angry?

The black-robed Soul Sage stood with his hands behind his back. He stared coldly at Fang Xuan. Killing intent flowed in his eyes. He shouted coldly, "Fang Xuan, I didn't expect you to be so strong. You killed five Soul Kings with a flick of your finger. You're not even seventeen years old yet. Your talent is too frightening"

He revealed a look of fear as he spoke. Fang Xuan's potential and talent were too abnormal. If he didn't take care of him, it was only a matter of time before he became a Titled Douluo. He might even surpass the Titled Douluo rank and reach an unimaginable realm.

He had to be on guard. He had to be prepared.

In the Soul Master Qualifier, Fang Xuan easily defeated the geniuses of the various academies. He had won to the end and became the champion.

His unstoppable momentum had shaken the entire arena, and many people were astonished.

Who would have thought that Fang Xuan's strength was only the tip of the iceberg? Now, he could easily kill Soul Kings. He was too monstrous.

Soul King.

Fang Xuan was a Soul King.

And a sixteen-year-old five-ringed Soul King.

The black-robed Soul Sage's eyes were cold. He raised his head to look at Fang Xuan. Killing intent burned in his heart. He said in a low voice, "Fang Xuan, many people don't want to see you continue living in this world. So, please die here today"

"Haha, then let's try"

Fang Xuan laughed. His heroic spirit soared. The soul power in his body erupted like a volcano. He finally unleashed all his strength.

Black! Black! Black! Black! Black!

Five soul rings that were as black as ink rose from beneath his feet, and an extremely terrifying aura surged and exploded outwards …
