Chapter 55 - Twin Martial Souls?

Ming Tian didn't pay any attention. He stood up and walked towards the arena.

"Ming Tian!"

Yan grabbed his hand from the side, a look of concern in his eyes.

"Good luck. If you can't handle it, don't force yourself. Get off the stage early."

Looking at Yan's concerned expression, Ming Tian forced a smile and said:

"Brother Yan, don't worry. I'll defeat everyone in the next matches and clear a path for you to fight in the end."

Ming Tian said, subtly removing his hand and resolutely walking onto the stage.

Yan assumed Ming Tian was exaggerating. With Ming Tian's abilities, winning two matches would be good enough. He was going to defeat everyone and clear the way for him? It was impossible.

But how could he know? Ming Tian really did it. This was also the last thing Ming Tian did for him. Many years later, when he looked back, he would only feel regret.

The small figure walked onto the stage. Everyone was stunned to see such a young child as a competitor. How did such a young child reach the finals? Could he even beat Ning Siyin?

Ning Siyin was also stunned when he saw that his opponent was such a small child. Ming Tian seemed harmless, with a very innocent and cute demeanor, which was very deceptive.

"Hello, my name is Ming Tian. Please, go easy on me."

Ming Tian said, openly looking at Ning Siyin. Seeing Ming Tian like this, Ning Siyin asked curiously:

"How old are you, kid? It's not easy to reach the finals, but you still can't beat me. Why don't you just surrender?"

"Hehe, since I'm standing on the stage, how can I forfeit? I want to try my best to see how long I can last against you."

Ming Tian's serious yet funny demeanor surprised everyone. How adorable! He knows he's going to lose, but he still wants to try?

Unconsciously, others looked down on Ming Tian, thinking he wasn't a threat.

Only Yan Qingwan and Yuan Yu, who knew him well, understood that Ming Tian was pretending! He was clearly playing the fool!

Yuan Yu burst out laughing:

"Who taught him this? So cunning, he loves to act, and is ready to play the pig to kill the tiger?"

Yan Qingwan turned her head and glanced in the direction of Meng Qianji, who was in the back row. Meng Qianji was Ming Tian's master. Ming Tian was so cunning, could it be...

"What a misfortune for the sect. This kid, acting like this... People will say I taught him. I'm not even this cunning! This guy is self-taught!"

Meng Qianji complained, but he still watched Ming Tian's match with concern. He didn't want his precious disciple to get hurt.

"Very well, let's go then. Let's see how many minutes you can last under my hand."

Ning Siyin raised his hand, with lightning swirling around it, and the Thunder Frog behind him was ready to attack, supporting itself with its hands.

"First Soul Skill, Thunder Tongue!"

The soul ring lit up, and the Thunder Frog opened its mouth. A long blue tongue lashed out towards Ming Tian. Lightning flashed on the blue tongue, attacking Ming Tian as if it were curling up a fly to eat.

Ming Tian naturally wouldn't sit still. He lowered his body, dodging the attack of the Thunder Tongue, and turned his hands into Scorpion Claws, while dodging the Thunder Tongue, he unleashed a Scorpion Claw Slash.

"Second Soul Skill, Thunder Net!"

The Thunder Frog clapped its hands, and a blue Thunder Net flew out of its hands, enveloping the Scorpion Claw Slash. The slash and the net collided, both turning into energy waves that exploded in the air.

The Thunder Tongue, having failed to hit, didn't retract into its mouth. Instead, it changed direction and continued to lash out at Ming Tian. Ming Tian delivered four or five Scorpion Claw Slashes. The purple Scorpion Claw Slashes hit the Thunder Tongue, hindering its attack speed and even causing the Thunder Frog to retract in pain.

"Croak!!"

The Thunder Frog seemed enraged, clapping repeatedly, and Thunder Nets flew out one after another, densely enveloping Ming Tian. Ming Tian used his Scorpion Claw against the Thunder Net, trying to break the Thunder Net directly with the Scorpion Claw Slash!

"Expand!!"

Ning Siyin shouted, and the flying Thunder Nets instantly expanded several times, the mesh becoming large enough for a person to pass through. The Scorpion Claw Slash that Ming Tian unleashed passed through the mesh and landed in empty space, rendering the attack useless.

"What?!"

"Hmph, you didn't expect that, shrink!"

Ning Siyin ordered again. The Thunder Nets that had expanded now shrank again. The shrinking nets enlarged as they approached Ming Tian, forcing him to dodge back and forth. The expanded Thunder Nets, after landing on the stage, didn't disappear directly, and several Thunder Nets occupied the stage.

The space for Ming Tian to dodge was getting smaller and smaller.

"Where are you going to hide? Thunder Net!"

Ning Siyin kept using his Second Soul Skill. The Thunder Frog released four or five Thunder Nets. After the nets flew out, the edges connected, and several small Thunder Nets instantly combined into a large Thunder Net, leaving Ming Tian with nowhere to escape.

"Hmph, since I can't avoid it, then I'll just get rid of you directly!"

Ming Tian stopped running. Looking at the giant combined Thunder Net covering him, he pushed off the ground and leaped high, imitating Chu Su and charging towards the Thunder Net.

"This idiot, this won't work! Isn't he repeating Chu Su's mistake from the previous match?"

The people below laughed, and Yan also stood up anxiously, worrying for Ming Tian.

"This won't work."

Ning Siyin smiled and prepared to close the net to finish off Ming Tian.

"Close!"

As Ning Siyin's voice fell, the Thunder Net instantly contracted, intending to trap Ming Tian. Once trapped, he would be paralyzed by the electricity carried by the Thunder Net!

But Ming Tian seemed to have never heard of it. He just let the Thunder Net trap him. Just as the Thunder Net was contracting to net him, Ming Tian in mid-air smiled strangely. Then, a layer of gray airflow appeared on his body, and his entire body became a little ethereal. The ethereal body passed directly through the Thunder Net, which netted nothing and fell limply to the ground.

Ming Tian didn't fall directly in mid-air. A long scorpion tail appeared behind him, and he struck the ground with it. With this force, Ming Tian quickly charged towards Ning Siyin. At this moment, everyone saw that Ming Tian's soul rings had changed from one to two yellow rings, and the aura he emitted was already at the level of a Great Soul Master!

"What? Impossible! Thunder Net! Thunder Net!!"

Ning Siyin panicked, and quickly released another Thunder Net to try and stop Ming Tian from getting close. At the same time, he activated his First Soul Skill, Thunder Tongue, and the long tongue followed closely behind the Thunder Net.

"Evil God Bodyguard!"

"Evil God Tail!"

Ming Tian's First and Second Soul Skills flashed alternately. The Evil God Bodyguard allowed him to become ethereal and easily pass through the Thunder Net. The Evil God Tail was swung out from behind and intertwined with the Thunder Frog's tongue. The scorpion tail and the frog tongue entangled each other. The electricity on the frog tongue seemed ineffective against the scorpion tail. The scorpion tail hooked onto the blue frog tongue, and scorpion venom seeped in. The frog tongue instantly turned purple, and the Thunder Frog felt it was in trouble and quickly retracted its tongue, but the scorpion tail was still entangled. With this retraction, Ming Tian was directly brought in front of Ning Siyin.

"Scorpion Claw Slash!!"

The moment the frog tongue retracted, bringing Ming Tian in front of Ning Siyin, Ming Tian switched back to the Three-Tailed Scorpion Martial Soul, and his hands turned into Scorpion Claws, alternating to unleash huge, crescent-shaped purple energy slashes!

Ning Siyin's Thunder Frog Martial Soul was poisoned and could no longer defend. He just stood there blankly, watching the Scorpion Claw Slashes coming at him.

A figure quickly protected him, with blazing flames, and stretched out his hands to block the attack.

Yan Wei, surrounded by five soul rings—yellow, yellow, yellow, purple, and black—with the Flame Lord attached, took Ming Tian's Scorpion Claw Slash. His eyes revealed both fear and killing intent.

Ming Tian landed and wasn't afraid. Looking at Yan Wei, who was blocking in front of Ning Siyin, he asked coldly:

"May I ask if I've won?"

"You brat, you still say you're not an evil soul master! What is this again? I'll take you down now!"

Twin Martial Souls – that was what everyone in the audience thought. They looked at Ming Tian with envious eyes, even Qian Xunji, Qian Shuoning, and Luo Erdi Yala on the stage showed expressions of surprise.

Ignoring the fact that Bibi Dong's Twin Martial Souls had not yet been announced to the world, this was the first Twin Martial Souls in the history of the continent!

Yan Wei had long since stopped caring about that. The Flame Lord Martial Soul was activated, and he was about to attack Ming Tian, who just stood there, unmoving.

"Stop, he has no problem. Twin Martial Souls, I never thought I would see Twin Martial Souls in my lifetime. He won the match with his own talent."

Qian Shuoning reached out a hand, and a powerful pulling force came from his palm. Yan Wei's movement towards Ming Tian was pushed back by this pulling force, and he fell to the ground.

"Sir! No! This child is an evil soul master! This martial soul is an evil martial soul! He should be killed!"

Yan Wei shouted, looking at Qian Xunji, hoping Qian Xunji would say something.

"Uncle, this..."

"Hmph, I don't care if he's an evil soul master or not. He won this match. Are we going to violate the established rules of the Spirit Hall?"

Qian Shuoning's question left everyone speechless.

"Continue. According to the rules, a new defending champion is born, and the auction should begin. Whether he is an evil soul master or not will be decided after the match."
