Chapter 244: A candidate with five rings

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The Bear of the Earth Soul Master that landed outside the arena was still wincing in pain. He also has a four-ring cultivation, but his Soul Power seemed to be much weaker than Lan Mengqin. He couldn’t even display the superiority of his Martial Soul’s strength.

Actually, Dong Qianqiu kicking him off the arena wasn’t very helpful to Lan Mengqin at all. Lan Xuanyu had control over the water element, so he could tell that other than the initial thrust towards Lan Mengqin caused by the burst of Soul Power, the Bear of the Earth Soul Master’s body seemed to be freezing. The surrounding air had undergone some subtle changes due to ultra-low temperatures.

At least, out of all the Soul Masters that had gone into the arena, Lan Mengqin was the strongest. No wonder she dared to take part in the semi-finals in a team of two people.

In the arena, it was purely based on strength—at least for this age range and rank. The tournaments were still ongoing, and the more Liu Feng and Qian Lei watched these elites battling, the more complex they felt.

Too strong—these people were simply too strong. Just take any one of them out and he or she was definitely stronger than them. Three rings wasn’t considered anything, and only four rings and above were considered the favored ones. But even so, not all teams with four-ring Soul Masters could defeat their opponents.

While they were rejoicing in their hearts, they were also perturbed.

In actual fact, among the candidates who had participated in the tournament, the most eye-catching wasn’t the powerful Lan Mengqin and Dong Qianqiu: it was Lan Xuanyu’s team!

Two rings—all three of them only had two Soul Rings each. There wasn’t any other team out of the 100 teams that had this sort of combination. The main point was that they actually won in the arena tournament.

There were some curious and vigilant gazes on them almost at every point in time. Lan Xuanyu appeared normal, but Qian Lei and Liu Feng looked quite guilty.

They got past this hurdle without rhyme or reason, but what about later? The gap between their strength and the rest was simply too wide.

“Frenzie,” Qian Lei whispered to Liu Feng.

“What?” Liu Feng glanced askance at him.

Qian Lei whispered, “I’ve decided to fight with all my might; no matter how painful, I must work hard to increase my Spiritual Power. Otherwise, even if we get in, I’m afraid…”

Liu Feng looked seriously into his eyes, a smear of craziness flashed in the depths of his eyes as he murmured, “Yes! Go all out.”

These two pumped up youths made the most important decision of their lives at this very moment.

There were 100 teams, so there were five rounds of tournaments in total. Xiao Qi didn’t mention whether the winning or losing teams had to stay or leave, so almost everyone chose to stay to watch.

All sorts of strange Martial Souls and Soul Skills were showcased; strong elites were seen everywhere, and there were also some who relied on teamwork to defeat their opponents.

To Lan Xuanyu, this was a rare learning opportunity. After all, these were the most outstanding people from their age range.

Finally, it was the last round.

“Stage 10, Luo Hao, Chen Xiao, Feng Xiao against Yuanen Huihui.” Xiao Qi announced the last team on the list.

Lan Xuanyu straightened up immediately after hearing this, a tinge of shock flashed across his eyes.

The first three names were nothing much but there was only one name from the other team? Or were Yuanen and Huihui two names?

He was not the only one who was taken aback; everyone else who was watching the tournaments was surprised too, and their gazes instinctively looked around for the other team.

Luo Hao, Chen Xiao, and Feng Xiao got up to the arena very soon, but their expressions were unusually upset.

They knew who their opponent was? Lan Xuanyu could tell immediately. This group of three didn’t find themselves lucky at all.

Just then, at the corner, a boy who had been squatting there stood up. He wore a red hoodie, which had been over his head just now. He seemed to be resting there, and nobody noticed him. When he stood up, everyone noticed his existence because he was making his way towards Stage 10.

From his figure, this skinny boy didn’t seem very special. His feet tapped gently on the ground, and he got up the stage.

One person! That’s right, there was only one person.

Yuanen Huihui was one person!

He didn’t let everyone wait too long as he took off his hood and revealed his true face.

It was hard to imagine how a boy could actually look so delicate and beautiful. The first impression he left everyone was his skin that was as fair as snow, his clothes fresh and clean, and had gentle features. It could be said that he was a boy that was much prettier than girls; it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he has the body of a boy but the face of a girl. It was worth noting that he has a pair of distinctive and pointed, long ears, and silky long hair: there were a few strands of fringe over his forehead, and his long hair was tied up loosely at the back of his head. His hair roots were milky white, while the ends were pale pink. Those two demonic eyes almost didn’t have any white in them; but what was weirder was that his left eye was a faint, violet color, while his right eye was a bewitching purplish-red. There was always a subtle smile on his peachy, red lips.

As Lan Xuanyu grew older, he could already be described as handsome, but this petite Yuanen Huihui—who seemed to be younger than all the candidates present—was as graceful and beautiful as a young girl.

However, for some reason, Lan Xuanyu kept sensing a nefarious feeling around him, especially with those different-colored eyes. It gave him a strange feeling whenever he looked at them.

One person? Just one person?

All the candidates’ eyes were focused on this young man. Yuanen Huihui was a weird name, and why did he participate in the tournament alone?

“Begin.” The teacher referee already knew of this situation and announced the start of the tournament without any expression. But in the next moment, everyone understood why Yuanen Huihui was alone.

A purple Soul Ring arose from beneath his feet, those ears of his became sharper and his eyes were brighter too. Following that was another purple Soul Ring, then the third, and the fourth! After that… it was not the end yet. The fifth ring, black… it was a black Soul Ring that slowly appeared.

Five rings!

Soul King!

The second that the fifth Soul Ring arose, the entire place was in an uproar.

Everyone was around the same age, and they all knew how hard it was to reach four rings at the age of 12. In Lan Xuanyu’s school, Heaven Luo Academy, it was rare to even reach the third ring. And Bing Tianliang was the only one in the entire Heaven Luo Planet that reached the fourth ring.

However, right before them, among their peers, there was actually someone with five Soul Rings! Soul King!

The ranking of Soul Masters: Soul Scholar, Soul Master, Soul Grandmaster, Soul Elder, Soul Ancestor, Soul King!

The sixth title was Soul King for those Soul Masters ranked 50 and above.

Lan Xuanyu was only at around rank 20 of his Soul Power, and there was actually someone his age who was already at rank 50—this was simply unbelievable, but this guy managed to do it. Lan Xuanyu was obviously very shocked.

One person… just one person, but it was enough; right in front of him were just three three-ring Soul Masters.

Five rings and three rings was a world of difference!

A sly smile appeared at the corners of Yuanen Huihui’s mouth. He lifted his right fist and pointed to himself with his thumb, “I, Yuanen Huihui, don’t ever need a team. Just me alone is enough.”

As he spoke, a faint, purple light flickered in his left hand and a longbow emerged. That was a long purple bow; its body was crystal clear like it was carved out of amethyst, even the bowstrings were purple and the top was decorated with patterns that looked like dark purple stars.
