Chapter 105: One Move is all I need

In the stands, Yu Xiaogang and Flender hurried over. But upon witnessing the scene before them, they were momentarily stunned.

Flender glanced at Yu Tianheng, then turned to Yu Xiaogang and asked, "What do we do now?"

"What else can we do?" Yu Xiaogang's expression darkened slightly. "We can only hope Tianyang doesn't make too much of a spectacle."

Flender nodded in agreement. In truth, there was no other way to resolve this match. Persuading either side to surrender was impossible without sufficient justification.

Although they hadn't spent much time with Xiao Tianyang, they knew he had a straightforward personality—generous in most matters but utterly ruthless when it came to conflict.

And Yu Tianheng? A proud member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the captain of the Emperor Team. No matter what explanation they gave regarding Xiao Tianyang's strength, it was unlikely to convince him.

Moreover, now that both sides had stepped onto the stage, the situation was set. There was no turning back.

"Hey, are you mute?" Dugu Yan placed her hands on her hips, pouting. "You're all alone. What's the point of fighting? Just surrender and stop wasting everyone's time!"

"What a letdown. To face something like this right at the start…"

Xiao Tianyang, his face concealed, responded in a hoarse voice, "We haven't fought yet. The outcome isn't decided."

"Heh, do you actually think you can win?" Osler sneered as he stepped forward.

Xiao Tianyang said no more, simply waiting for the match to begin.

Yu Tianheng's face turned cold. "Since you refuse to surrender, we'll just have to knock you down!"

Just as he was about to take action, Osler stepped in. "Boss, I can handle this myself!"

He twisted his neck and smirked. "A broken scythe? You really think you're something? I'd love to see how you plan to turn this around!"

Xiao Tianyang remained silent, watching the overconfident soul masters before him.

Well, looks like I'll have to teach you a proper lesson. Otherwise, I'd be letting Master down.' Yu Tianyang thought.

 The Host finally reacted and announced, "Let the match begin!"

"Second Soul Skill—Phantom Shadow Assault!"

 Osler lowered his stance and dashed toward Xiao Tianyang like a specter, his claws gleaming with a black-gold light!

Xiao Tianyang remained motionless, as if frozen in fear. But in the next instant, Cong Yunqie in his hand tilted slightly.

"Clang!"

Osler's claws struck the blade's handle, sending sparks flying!

At that moment, Yu Tianheng sensed danger and shouted, "Get back!"

Osler felt an eerie chill and instinctively retreated.

"Come and go as you please? It's not that simple." Xiao Tianyang chuckled.

With a flick of his wrist, he dragged Cong Yunqie behind him. The blade was enveloped in a strange force, producing a sound like bursting soap bubbles.

As the sword slashed forward, an invisible gust of wind swept across the battlefield.

Yu Tianheng and his teammates were forced backward uncontrollably, their feet scraping against the ground as they struggled to resist.

"Shi Mo, Shi Mo!" Yu Tianheng roared.

Two burly teammates rushed forward, martial spirits activated, standing as the final line of defense!

"Shatter!" Xiao Tianyang's hoarse voice resonated.

The turbulent wind ceased abruptly. But what followed was even more terrifying.

Yu Tianheng's eyes widened in shock. The air before him had fractured like shattered glass!

"Run!" he barely managed to shout before the battlefield erupted.

"Boom!"

No one was spared.

Even the Black Turtle martial soul—renowned for his defense—was torn apart on the spot, despite his nearly impenetrable defenses at the same level!

In the stands, Yu Xiaogang and Flender inhaled sharply.

"When did this kid learn such a technique?!" Flender's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Was this truly the attack of a Soul Elder? Why did its destructive power rival that of a Soul Douluo?

"Unbelievable!" Yu Xiaogang exhaled deeply.

Flender lowered his voice. "Can you determine what soul skill he used? Or is there something special about his weapon?"

Yu Xiaogang's eyes gleamed with insight as he stared at Xiao Tianyang. "No, if my guess is correct, this ability comes from a soul bone!"

Flender pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "That nearly invisible soap-bubble effect… no tangible gust, yet everyone was forced back… and then the air shattered… it was a concussive force!"

"Exactly!" Yu Xiaogang nodded. "First, he used his weapon as a medium to shake the air. Then, he released the impact force at the center of Tianheng's formation!"

---

The arena fell silent. Even the host was at a loss for words.

She had thought Xiao Tianyang had a chance to win. After all, miracles happened.

But she never imagined this would be how he won!

Such overwhelming devastation!

Such absolute dominance!

It was like watching a battle of high level soul masters.

Yet the documents in her hand confirmed that Xiao Tianyang was indeed a registered Soul Elder—officially verified and indisputable!

"Rumble…" Amidst the scattered debris, Yu Tianheng staggered to his feet, his eyes filled with unwillingness. "You… you're no Soul Elder!"

His reaction was understandable. Even in all of history, no Soul Elder had ever demonstrated such an attack!

Just as the host had thought—this was beyond their realm of understanding!

"You didn't deserve to lose." To dispel their doubts, Xiao Tianyang struck the ground heavily with Cong Yunqie's handle.

"Clang!"

Three soul rings lit up beneath his feet.

Yellow, Purple, Purple.

Facts spoke louder than words. Appearances could be faked. Identities could be falsified. Even bloodlines could be concealed.

But soul rings? They couldn't be forged.

…Well, except for Xiao Tianyang's.

Over the years, with the countless lottery draws he had accumulated, he had hoarded enough oddities to make direct changes to his spirit rings. If he could alter their levels, he'd only go higher—never lower. So this was merely a disguise.

This was precisely why he avoided fusing different elemental martial spirits. Once he used his real soul skills, his identity would be exposed.

Thus, his combat strategy revolved around three core elements: soul bones, weapons, and body techniques!

Watching from the stands, Yu Xiaogang and Flender were left utterly speechless.

To them, Xiao Tianyang had become a walking enigma—a mystery wrapped in secrets.

It was like opening a blind box of chocolates. You never knew what you'd get next… or how shocking it would be!
