===

Zhao Wuji's friend glanced at Lin Yongming, leisurely sipping his water as if the outcome of the match had already been decided. Although the odds were low, the bet was practically a guaranteed win, and he couldn't help but feel pleased.

Meanwhile, the arena host felt slightly embarrassed upon seeing a blindfolded contestant step onto the stage.

Although the host knew that Ashura was a first-time participant, he hadn't expected the newcomer to be blind. The female attendant had naturally not included Lin Yongming's condition in the registration details.

"Haha! It seems our arena has welcomed a rather unique newcomer. Let's look forward to Ashura's performance," the host said with an awkward laugh. Having worked in the arena for years, he had seen all kinds of people and quickly adjusted his tone, continuing his commentary.

However, the surrounding noise and discussions had no effect on Lin Yongming. As he stepped onto the arena, his expression remained calm and composed.

He didn't need to pay attention to these voices. His strength would be the best rebuttal.

"Everyone is familiar with Zhao Wuji, who has already achieved four consecutive victories in our arena. Will he be able to secure his fifth win today?"

"With his impenetrable defense, no one has been able to break through. Let's wait and see. I declare the Spirit Elder duel officially begins!" the host announced, introducing Lin Yongming's opponent.

Underestimation and Lin Yongming's First Strike

"What is the host even talking about? A 36th-level fighter against a 33rd-level one, and the opponent is blind? Zhao Wuji's fifth win is practically guaranteed."

"Exactly! If Zhao Wuji doesn't win this match, I swear I won't sleep in my wife's bed for a whole week!"

"Hey, buddy, don't use that as an excuse. I suspect you just don't want to sleep with her."

Ignoring the audience's chatter, Lin Yongming focused on observing Zhao Wuji as soon as the match began.

"Short in height but muscular and robust."

"It's indeed Zhao Wuji, the future vice-principal of Shrek Academy."

From Lin Yongming's perspective, Zhao Wuji wasn't much taller than him. Being under twenty years old, Zhao Wuji didn't even have a beard yet.

"Hey, friend! You should just step down. Not only is your spirit power lower than mine, but you're also blind. I really don't feel like fighting you," Zhao Wuji said, smirking and crossing his arms, his tone filled with disdain.

Lin Yongming smiled faintly but didn't respond. Instead, he summoned his spirit—the Thunder Blade—and prepared to attack.

With a powerful push from his right foot, Lin Yongming charged toward Zhao Wuji.

"Fast speed, but the attack probably won't be much. Since you insist on fighting, I'll let you have two moves."

"Great Strength Diamond Bear, Spirit Body Possession!"

Zhao Wuji crouched slightly, assuming a horse stance as he summoned his spirit—a massive brown bear.

After his spirit possession, Zhao Wuji's body was covered in thick brown fur, his height increased to about 1.8 meters, and his muscles bulged. His amber-colored eyes exuded a domineering aura, and his hands became exceptionally large and powerful.

It's often said that beast spirit masters have an advantage over tool spirit masters in the early stages, as beast spirits enhance physical strength and defense upon possession.

For a strength-type beast spirit, the defensive boost from spirit possession is comparable to a small spirit skill in itself.

Thus, after Zhao Wuji's spirit possession, he stood up again, crossing his arms and watching Lin Yongming's attack with amusement.

"Wave Blade!"

Lin Yongming launched a probing attack at Zhao Wuji.

"Sword energy? Not bad, but this level of attack isn't enough," Zhao Wuji said, standing still.

"The match has begun! Ashura's speed is impressive, and his attacks are precise, but they don't seem to be enough. Zhao Wuji's defense is truly extraordinary, not even moving a step under Ashura's assault."

"As expected of the Great Strength Diamond Bear, its defense is formidable, with no obvious weaknesses. Its only flaw is speed. How will Ashura break through this defense?" The host's commentary grew more excited.

Lin Yongming attacked several times with Wave Blade, targeting Zhao Wuji's chest, back, and sides, but only managed to cut through a few strands of the bear's fur.

"Blind guy, why did you stop? Out of energy?" Zhao Wuji taunted casually.

"Remember this expression of yours."

Lin Yongming ran a hand over his blade.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Wuji was puzzled.

"Rip Wave Slash!"

Although the attack couldn't break Zhao Wuji's defense, it could momentarily control his movements.

Zhao Wuji was lifted into the air by Lin Yongming's blade and then slammed back onto the arena, unable to control his movements.

"What's happening?! Ashura has knocked down Zhao Wuji, but I didn't see him use a spirit skill. Could this be a self-created skill?" the host exclaimed, commenting on the sudden turn of events.

"Indeed, reaching the Spirit Elder level at such a young age is no small feat. Despite his blindness, Ashura seems completely unaffected so far."

Standing at the entrance, Lan Yinhuang cheered, "Xiao Ming, well done! That big guy's smug face makes me want to hit him too."

Revealing His Spirit Rings

"First Spirit Skill, Thunderlight Slash!"

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Yongming unleashed his spirit rings and launched a powerful spirit skill.

"My goodness, look at the blind guy's spirit rings! Unless I'm mistaken, it's one yellow and two purple rings!"

"You're not alone. I see it too—one yellow and two purple!"

"Wow! Ashura has revealed his spirit rings and unleashed a spirit skill. It's actually a one-yellow, two-purple configuration. This is truly astonishing! The tide of the match has suddenly turned."

"Will Zhao Wuji secure his fifth consecutive victory, or will Ashura make a stunning debut? Let's continue to watch!" The host quickly recovered from his surprise and continued his commentary.

"One yellow and two purple?! How is that possible?!"

The cunning-looking man with glasses slammed the table and stood up in shock.

Zhao Wuji's speed and reaction time were too slow to keep up with Lin Yongming's attacks. He took a heavy hit, but thanks to his thick skin, he only suffered a minor injury.

Lin Yongming continued to attack with Thunderlight Slash, constantly adjusting his position and attacking from different angles, leaving Zhao Wuji struggling to defend.

"Boom!"

Zhao Wuji was knocked down again, veins bulging on his forehead from anger.

"Haha..."

"Not bad. I admit I underestimated you. Few at the same level can injure me. It seems I need to get serious."

"First Spirit Skill, Immovable Vajra Body!"

Zhao Wuji laughed as he stood up, stomping his foot and activating his first spirit skill. A wave of energy erupted from his body, shattering Lin Yongming's Thunderlight Slash.

At the same time, his defense increased further, and the wounds on his body healed instantly.

"Let's fight! Second Spirit Skill, Great Strength Diamond Palm!"

Zhao Wuji's hands transformed into massive bear-like palms, and a spirit energy-infused palm strike shot toward Lin Yongming, with Zhao Wuji himself following closely behind.
