The bell of battle was about to ring.
In the Spirit - fighting arena, numerous circular seats surrounded the Spirit - fighting stage tightly.
Each seat was occupied by a figure, and they waved their arms, shouting passionately.
The 14th competition area was usually not very popular and even a bit deserted, with the empty seats in the auditorium often conspicuous.
However, today's unusual busyness was due to one name - Baoqing.
Every battle of this Iron - Armored Rhino soul master could turn into a celebration for everyone.
His name was like a magnet, attracting audiences from all directions. People crowded together, traveling long distances to come to the Spirit - fighting arena, just to catch a glimpse of this iron - willed soul master.
"This Baoqing is really popular. He must be a star figure in the Grand Spirit - fighting arena," Chen Feng said as he slowly walked into the Spirit - fighting arena.
The lights around were like stars, enveloping the Spirit - fighting arena in a glorious glow.
The discussions in the auditorium rose and fell. Their eyes were fixed on the two figures in the center.
"I heard this Chen Feng is only twelve years old this year," someone in a corner whispered in a tone of surprise.
"Only twelve? He's too young. He definitely can't beat Baoqing," another voice said with a hint of contempt.
"Indeed, their body types are not in the same league at all. A rhino - type soul master like Baoqing, with one punch, this kid might end up in the infirmary directly."
The voices of agreement around kept coming, and the eyes of the audience were filled with doubt and disdain.
Baoqing's huge figure looked extremely majestic in the center of the Spirit - fighting arena. His eyes fell on Chen Feng, with a hint of incredulity.
"Did you come to the wrong place?
"This isn't where you should be. Go home quickly."
Although Baoqing was only fifteen years old this year, he had the burly build of an adult.
His height of over two meters was like a towering tower in the crowd, and his weight of over two hundred pounds made every movement of his exude astonishing power.
"Just admit defeat yourself. Look at your skinny arms and legs. You're definitely no match for me," Baoqing said, his voice full of disdain, and his eyes seemed to be sizing up a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
[Ding, it is detected that Baoqing has emotions of contempt + disdain, and the emotion value + 100]
However, Chen Feng's response was unexpectedly calm.
"Hehe, I think it's you who should admit defeat."
In the Spirit - fighting arena, the tense atmosphere escalated once again.
"Kid, you've annoyed me. You're courting death!"
Baoqing felt that his dignity had been challenged, and anger welled up on his face.
[Ding, it is detected that Baoqing has an enraged emotion, and the emotion value + 150]
"First soul skill, Wild Boar Charge!"
With his roar, Baoqing's body seemed to be infused with boundless wild power under the effect of the soul skill. His muscles swelled rapidly, and every muscle fiber seemed to be pulsating, as if trying to burst his clothes. The power that erupted from his body almost formed a visible storm, causing the air to tremble.
The audience below seemed to see a real fierce beast awakening in the Spirit - fighting arena. Their emotions were completely ignited, and the eyes of each person were filled with intense anticipation.
"This is Baoqing's signature move. Many high - level soul masters can't resist it at all," someone said, their voice trembling with excitement.
"I think this kid named Chen Feng won't even last three moves against Baoqing. He'll be defeated in one move," another voice jeered.
The emotions in the auditorium were like a powder keg that had been lit, ready to explode at any moment.
Baoqing's soul - ring light burst out, and his figure expanded rapidly, like a moving mountain.
With a single step, the floor of the Spirit - fighting arena shook.
His charge was like a runaway wild boar spirit, unstoppable, rushing straight towards Chen Feng.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing was sitting upright in the auditorium. Her clear eyes, as clear as autumn water, reflected the thrilling scene on the Spirit - fighting stage.
She looked nervous, like a lotus blooming in the water, beautiful yet fragile. Her slender white fingers were pressed tightly against her cherry - like lips, as if trying to lend Chen Feng endless support through her will.
Facing the menacing Baoqing, the corner of Chen Feng's mouth curled up in a faint, almost imperceptible smile.
Baoqing's mountain - like oppressive momentum seemed to become less terrifying in the face of Chen Feng's calmness.
The next moment.
Accompanied by a soft murmur, "Explosive Step!"
As these words fell, the entire Spirit - fighting arena shook.
Under Chen Feng's feet, a purple radiance emerged, as delicate and dazzling as the dewdrops in the morning sun.
When his foot suddenly stomped on the ground, the impact seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and the floor of the Spirit - fighting arena trembled slightly.
Soil and stone chips scattered and splashed under his feet, like tiny dust flowers blooming in the Spirit - fighting arena.
Amid the deafening noise,Chen Feng had transformed into a purple stream of light.
It was as if an invisible ejection device had been installed on his agile figure. His body shot forward almost in the blink of an eye.
The speed was so astonishing that the eyesight of everyone present could barely keep up.
In the Spirit - fighting arena, Baoqing's name was well - known far and wide, and his signature skill, "Wild Boar Charge", was familiar to all.
Its power was fierce, and its speed was rapid. Even the slightest turn carried a tracking ability. It was like a wild boar with a thousand - catty force. Once it locked onto its target, there was no escape.
But today, in front of this young boy, Chen Feng, Baoqing's "Wild Boar Charge" seemed to have lost its former might.
Facing this offensive like a raging sea, Chen Feng was not only unharmed but also dodged with a movement that was almost indescribable. He was like a light - footed bird on the sea, dancing among the waves without getting a single drop of water on him.
In the auditorium, a spectator could hardly believe his eyes. His voice was filled with shock and confusion:
"Baoqing's 'Wild Boar Charge' has a miraculous tracking ability. That young boy, Chen Feng, can actually dodge it so nimbly. This is simply against the heavens!"
"Against the heavens?"
An old man beside him smiled faintly and revealed the mystery:
"Look at it. Chen Feng's soul ring is five - thousand - year - old."
"A five - thousand - year - old soul ring!"
An uproar broke out among the crowd.
"Good heavens, Baoqing's highest - year soul ring is only one - thousand - seven - hundred years old."
The onlookers exclaimed in amazement, whispering to each other in disbelief.
A five - thousand - year - old soul ring was a rarity even in the entire Spirit - fighting arena.
And Chen Feng, this seemingly unremarkable young boy, actually had such an extraordinary soul ring.
[Ding, it is detected that Audience Member A has an enraged emotion, and the emotion value + 1]
[Ding, it is detected that Audience Member B has an enraged emotion, and the emotion value + 1]
The discussions rose and fell, and the eyes of the audience changed from shock to scrutiny.
"Although this kid has good dodging skills, without attack skills, he still can't win against Baoqing."
Someone began to analyze the battle situation, as if they had already seen Chen Feng's weaknesses.
"He must not win. I bet ten gold soul coins on Baoqing."
