Seeing Ji Juechen brimming with battle intent, Huo Yuhao thought to himself:
"As expected of the battle maniac, Ji Juechen."
Then, he said in a deep voice:
"Alright."
Ji Juechen nodded, his expression growing serious.
He gripped his sword tightly, and beneath his feet, six soul rings appeared two yellow, two purple, and two black.
He solemnly declared:
"Huo Yuhao, to show my respect for you, I will fight with everything I have.
I hope to find the truth I have been seeking through this battle."
Then, he glanced at the others nearby and said:
"You all should move further back.
This is a fight between and Huo Yuhao."
The arena had already been cleared, so the audience seats were mostly empty.
At this mont, ng Hongchen and the others were standing inside the arena.
For their safety, Ji Juechen wanted them to step back.
But before anyone could move, a voice rang out from above.
"No need.
I think ng and the others can stay close.
With here, their safety is guaranteed."
The voice belonged to Jing Hongchen, who was descending from the sky, accompanied by Xuan Ziwen.
"Master! What are you doing here?"
Jing Hongchen's arrival surprised Jing Ziyan.
She had co as Ji Juechen's friend, as few people were willing to associate with the battle maniac.
Despite being the chief of the cha Combat Soul Tool Division, Ji Juechen's strange personality ant he had very few friends.
Jing Hongchen smiled mischievously.
"I heard that Yuhao was going to fight Ji Juechen, so I ca to ensure their safety.
After all, so people are quite powerful, and I worry that if the referees underestimate them, they might fail to stop an attack, resulting in injuries."
His words made the nearby referees uneasy.
"Fail to stop an attack?
"I'm a Soul Douluo, and these two are just a Soul King and a Soul Emperor… How could I possibly be unable to intervene?"
Unless…
"Ji Juechen is hiding his true strength?"
This thought imdiately put the referee on high alert.
He gripped the soul tool sword at his waist, ready for anything.
If Ji Juechen turned out to be an enemy spy, he would imdiately capture him and subject him to Sun Moon Empire's ten most brutal tortures!
"Master, are you saying Ji Juechen is so strong that even I can't protect others from him?"
The referee asked cautiously, his grip on his sword tightening.
Jing Hongchen noticed his tension and chuckled.
"Relax. I am here.
Just watch the match.
Honestly, this one on one fight is rather… one sided."
Jing Ziyan nodded internally.
"Of course, it's one sided. Ji Juechen is a Soul Emperor, while Yuhao is only a Soul King."
"Even if Yuhao is a genius, the gap is too vast."
anwhile, Xuan Ziwen was thinking hard about how to console Yuhao after his inevitable loss.
In his mind, Yuhao had already lost.
There was simply no way a Soul King could defeat a Soul Emperor.
Even a genius needs ti to grow.
At this mont, Jing Hongchen glanced at both fighters and declared:
"Alright.
The match begins!"
As soon as his voice fell, four soul rings rose around Huo Yuhao.
At the sa ti, he activated his first soul skill Spiritual Detection Sharing.
This allowed him to track Ji Juechen's movents more effectively.
Ji Juechen rushed forward like a lightning bolt, his sword raised.
In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Yuhao, slashing downward.
His blade glead coldly, sharp and unstoppable.
CLANG!
Yuhao's Soul Barrier activated, blocking the attack.
He looked at Ji Juechen calmly, completely unfazed.
Both of them were Soul Engineers, but Ji Juechen was an Independent Combat Type Soul Engineer.
Independent Combat Type Soul Engineers did not craft soul tools, but they excelled at using them in battle.
Looking at Ji Juechen, Yuhao unleashed a sudden soul attack Spiritual Shock.
Ji Juechen's body stiffened slightly, his eyes montarily dazed.
In that instant, Yuhao activated his Water Dragon King Soul Bone and silently murmured in his mind:
"Control Water!"
This soul skill allowed him to manipulate water elents including the moisture inside Ji Juechen's body.
Even though Ji Juechen was a Soul Emperor with an enhanced physique, he was still human, not a god.
Suddenly, Ji Juechen felt his throat dry out as if parched by intense heat.
His breathing grew rapid, and his steps beca slightly unsteady.
"What's happening? Poison?
"Did Yuhao poison ?
"Even ng Hongchen needs ti for her poisons to take effect, but Yuhao affected instantly?"
Ji Juechen was shocked.
He instinctively circulated his soul power, trying to suppress the 'poison'.
Seeing this, Yuhao gathered the water vapor in the air and froze it into swords.
A dozen ice blades ford in mid air and shot toward Ji Juechen with deadly precision.
However, Ji Juechen was unfazed.
He gripped his sword tightly, and his soul rings began flickering wildly as he amplified his strength.
Many in the Sun Moon Empire found Ji Juechen's soul skills bizarre.
That was because every single one of his skills was purely for enhancing his soul power nothing else.
No fancy effects.
No exotic abilities.
Just raw power.
And now, he was about to unleash it all.
