"Third Soul Skill: Iron Arm Strength!"
The unwilling Iron Arm instantly used his thousand-year Soul Skill, just to overpower Xu Yang in strength.
The dark silver-golden luster on the surface of his body deepened, and the hardness of his skin was comparable to that of real steel. This Soul Skill enhanced not only his defense but also his strength.
As Iron Arm unleashed this Soul Skill, Xu Yang felt a tremendous force coming from the blade, almost causing him to lose his grip.
Xu Yang was also somewhat surprised. This force was more than twice as strong as before. Even with his years of body tempering, he couldn't match it at this moment.
However, he wasn't just a reckless brute. Seeing that he couldn't win in a contest of strength, he stopped trying to force the issue and instead used the swordsmanship he had been practicing for several years. He rotated the blade, guiding Iron Arm's fists to the side, and they brushed past Xu Yang's body, rushing towards the rear.
Then, Xu Yang turned his body and slashed down at Iron Arm's back. However, as he approached his back, he flipped the blade, using the back of the blade instead.
"Puff!"
This sudden change of move caught Iron Arm off guard. By the time he came to his senses, Xu Yang's blade had already landed on his back, cutting a huge gash and causing blood to flow continuously.
Immediately afterward, a tremendous force surged from behind, and sharp Blade Qi penetrated the Soul Power barrier, directly entering his body and cutting his meridians.
"Ah!"
Iron Arm felt an unprecedented pain erupting from within his body, causing him to cry out in agony. But the tremendous force from Xu Yang's blade wasn't over yet. In the instant he was overwhelmed by pain, his body was directly sent flying, heading out of the arena.
"Bang!"
Iron Arm crashed heavily on the ground. His injuries looked severe, but they were all superficial wounds. With a Soul Master's recovery ability, he wouldn't even need medicine; he could recover in two days of rest.
"You..."
Iron Arm got up, somewhat disgruntled, and turned to look at Xu Yang. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the blood-stained back of the blade and immediately understood that Xu Yang had shown mercy. If it had been the edge of the blade, he would have been split in two.
"I concede!"
Realizing that he was no match, Iron Arm stopped struggling and reluctantly raised his hand to concede.
"Thank you for the match!"
Xu Yang put away his External Spirit Bone, cupped his fist in salute to Iron Arm, and then walked towards the rest area passage.
...
In Box Thirteen of the Heaven Zone above, Qian Renxue watched Xu Yang's departing figure, her heart filled with doubt and shock: "That's an External Spirit Bone... What exactly has Xu Yang been through during this time? Not only has his Soul Power increased to the Soul Elder level, but he also possesses an External Spirit Bone. Most importantly, his attraction to me is getting stronger and stronger."
Originally, she had heard the news that Xu Yang was coming to the Soul Arena today and wanted to come and see. But she didn't expect that in just a month or two, Xu Yang's Soul Power had advanced by leaps and bounds, and he had also obtained an External Spirit Bone.
Did others not recognize the External Spirit Bone? How could she not recognize it?!
Or rather, many of the people from the various forces present recognized it as an External Spirit Bone.
But what could they do? The value of an External Spirit Bone wasn't just in its rarity, but also in the fact that once it was fused with a Soul Master, it could never be obtained again, even if the Soul Master was killed.
This was completely different from ordinary Spirit Bones.
Most importantly, the aura of extreme Yang and extreme strength on Xu Yang's body was becoming more and more intense. Even when he wasn't using his Spirit in the arena, his attraction to her was already greater than when he had activated his Spirit before. If he were to activate his Spirit again, she couldn't imagine what kind of desire her Spirit would surge with at that time.
Perhaps even the Cloud Illusion Skull wouldn't be able to suppress this desire at that time.
"Uncle She, what has Xu Yang been doing during this time?!" Qian Renxue suddenly asked.
"Young Master, I'm not entirely sure about the specifics. Some time ago, Dugu Bo suddenly appeared at Tiandu Royal Academy and took Xu Yang away. I was afraid of being discovered by Dugu Bo and messing up your plans, so I didn't follow. Then, after Xu Yang returned, he asked for leave to go back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I..."
She Long didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear: he didn't dare to intrude on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. There were two Super Douluo there, and it would be easy to get noticed. If he were discovered, he would really be in deep trouble.
"So, the key to the problem lies with Dugu Bo," Qian Renxue said, her mind quick. She immediately grasped the crucial point.
"Then, Young Master, should I and Pufferfish capture Dugu Bo and ask him what's going on?!" She Long said at the opportune moment.
"No! Just investigate in secret. If you take action, it will easily expose my existence and disrupt our plans. My main goal now is to gain a foothold in the Tiandu Royal Family." Hearing this, Qian Renxue shook her head and turned to look in the direction Xu Yang had left. "Let's act as we did before. As for Xu Yang's matter, let's put it aside for now!"
"Also, how are the arrangements for Xue Luochuan going?!"
Hearing this, She Long's mouth curved into a smile. "It's all arranged. His death will be during the next Soul Hunt."
"Mm! Then let's keep watching!" Qian Renxue nodded and turned her gaze back to the Soul Arena.
...
"How was it?!"
As soon as Xu Yang arrived at the rest area, Dugu Yan walked up to him and asked.
"Not bad, more useful than I imagined!"
Xu Yang nodded with a smile. Although this battle ended quickly, he gained a lot from it.
"Then why did you use your External Spirit Bone instead of your Spirit?! With your strength, using your Spirit should resolve the battle in an instant, right!" Dugu Yan took Xu Yang's arm and looked for a topic to talk about.
"Can my Soul Ring configuration be easily shown to others?! The reason I showed it to you at school before was only because I trusted you!"
Xu Yang rolled his eyes helplessly. The emergence of Whale Rubber made a ten-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring no longer a fantasy. No one would say anything about a Soul Master with a ten-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring, but a ten-thousand-year third Soul Ring is different. This means that one can absorb a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring with 100% certainty as a Soul Douluo, and after becoming a Titled Douluo, they will have one more hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring than other Soul Masters. This difference is huge.
He had to expose himself to Qin Ming and the others before, because everyone would be teammates and comrades in the future, and they would be discovered sooner or later. It was better to take the initiative to expose himself, gain trust, and let them help him hide for a while.
"Hehe, you're so nice!" Dugu Yan smiled and rested her head on Xu Yang's shoulder. Xu Yang struggled a few times but could only let her do so.
After the two waited in the rest area for a while, it was Yu Tianheng's turn to fight. His opponent was a level 28 Equipment Soul Master with very good strength. The two had a four-level Soul Power gap. Even though Yu Tianheng's Spirit was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, he didn't win easily.
