"Fighting arena?"
"A place where humans battle... no, more precisely, a place where they spar."
Upon arriving at the giant fighting arena in the suburbs, Gu Yuena began her observation again.
When Gu Yuena saw the spirit rings and spirit bones, she felt a bit uncomfortable in her heart. These were all her people!
Clenching her small fists, she didn't act but fell into deep thought instead.
After a while, Gu Yuena's eyes lit up.
Perhaps before attacking the God Realm, she could first resolve the conflict between humans and soul beasts.
Spirit Masters need to absorb spirit rings to break through.
Spirit rings are the product of the death of soul beasts.
What if there were no Spirit Master profession?
Wouldn't soul beasts and Spirit Masters be able to coexist peacefully?
As long as all the Spirit Masters were eliminated, humans wouldn't hunt soul beasts anymore.
Neuvillette: "..."!
Gu Yuena's idea had no flaws.
Without the Spirit Master profession, soul beasts wouldn't decrease in large numbers.
What is the most convenient and fastest way to solve this problem?
Killing all the Spirit Masters would naturally solve the problem.
Without Spirit Masters, what reason or strength would humans have to kill soul beasts?
This plan might go against the natural order, but as long as it doesn't harm soul beasts, it's fine.
You must know one thing, the current soul beast clan is not in the situation it will be in twenty thousand years.
Twenty thousand years later, soul beasts will face extinction, and that's when Gu Yuena would think of destroying humanity.
Now, the soul beasts are as strong as clouds, far beyond what humans can handle.
This is why Gu Yuena would have such an idea.
Peaceful coexistence, just eliminate the Spirit Masters.
With a decision made in her heart, Gu Yuena glanced at that Neuvillette one more time before leaving.
Neuvillette watched Gu Yuena's departing figure, faintly feeling that something was amiss.
This guy, how could she come and go so easily?
Shaking his head, Neuvillette continued to host the match. What did Gu Yuena's actions have to do with him?
Today, it was just the right time to return because it was the turn for Title Douluo to battle.
This was the second round of the Title Douluo matches. More than half of the Title Douluos were eliminated in the first round!
Normally, half would be eliminated.
But some Title Douluos, whose "Dao hearts" were damaged or whose strength was low, directly chose to forfeit after seeing their opponents in the Title Douluo matches.
There can only be one champion; those below level ninety-five shouldn't even consider it.
Currently, only eight Title Douluos remained.
Of course, those who forfeited or were eliminated did not leave Sotou City but stayed to watch the matches.
Learning a trick or two from the strong is also useful for them.
The remaining eight Title Douluos were Chen Xin, Gu Rong, Yu Yuanzhen, and one elder from the Spirit Hall.
Besides them, the other four were unaffiliated wanderers.
If not for this match, who would have known that there were so many Title Douluos in the Douluo Continent!
"Please, Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Golden Crocodile Douluo come to the stage!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo, whose name was forgotten due to his old age and being called the second offering for too long.
Only he came to participate in this match from the offering hall.
No choice, since there's only one champion.
Qian Daoliu knew his own situation, so he did not come.
Golden Crocodile Douluo was different. All his strength was cultivated by himself.
He still had room for improvement.
After knowing his opponent, Chen Xin's face changed.
"Sword guy, it looks like your path ends here."
Gu Rong patted Chen Xin's shoulder and said.
"This old guy is the second Worship of the Spirit Hall, with a strength that has reached level ninety-eight!"
"If Lexius hadn't withdrawn, he wouldn't even stand a chance."
"The only one who can compare to him now is that senior!"
It's not the first round anymore, so everyone's spirit power level has been revealed.
Among the remaining four unaffiliated fighters, one of them is also a terrifying existence at level ninety-eight, and like Golden Crocodile, he possesses a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring!
The other three are two at level ninety-seven and one at level ninety-six.
When they came on stage, Chen Xin and Gu Rong knew they had no hope in the Title Douluo arena.
This is an individual match, not an external battle where Ning Fengzhi can assist them.
Chen Xin shook his head. As a swordsman, he knew that he had to do what must be done even if it seemed impossible; this is the pride of a swordsman.
He knew he wasn't a match for Golden Crocodile, but he still wanted to give it a try.
When Chen Xin and Golden Crocodile stood on the stage, they exchanged a glance, and Golden Crocodile spoke first, "Not bad, you have more talent than your father and grandfather."
Golden Crocodile paused before continuing, "However, it's difficult for you to achieve the same level of success as your father and grandfather."
Golden Crocodile had a lot of respect for Chen Xin's father and grandfather, especially his father!
With nine strikes of 'kill', he faced off against the Grand Priest!
Unfortunately, the gap in spirit power was too great, and he was defeated.
What?
There's only a two-level difference between ninety-seven and ninety-nine, how big could it be?
It's at least as big as several Golden Crocodiles!
The gap between ninety-eight and ninety-nine is larger than from level one to ninety-eight!
For a level ninety-nine to deal with a level ninety-eight, it's like playing around...
Just imagine!
Reaching level ninety-eight before his death, Chen Xin's father earned Golden Crocodile's recognition.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xin was stunned and then nodded.
Golden Crocodile's words were spot on.
He had no way to refute them.
His father once fought invincible in the world for the sword, and finally met Qian Daoliu!
Even though he died, he died with a smile.
To understand the Way in one day, and die in the evening without regret.
Now, Chen Xin had too many attachments and needed to protect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, so he couldn't follow the same path as his grandfather and father.
This is why Golden Crocodile said he had good talent but would have difficulty achieving his father's accomplishments.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior."
Chen Xin cupped his hands and said.
"Not guidance."
Golden Crocodile waved his hand, expressionless.
He was just reminiscing about the past.
Sometimes, living too long is truly a torment. If it weren't for the faith in his heart and a direction to move forward, Golden Crocodile would have lost the will to live long ago!
People around him gradually left, the old burying the young...
Though not the strongest in the world, he was still at level ninety-eight, with a long lifespan.
"Would the two of you like to declare your names?"
When Neuvillette's voice rang out, the two realized the match was about to begin.
"Yes!"
Out of respect for the senior, Chen Xin chose to declare his name.
Seeing this, Golden Crocodile had no objections. With one party choosing to declare, it would be automatically assumed both had declared.
"Both sides, retreat to the pre-match safety distance."
As Title Douluos, both of them almost instantaneously moved to the pre-match safety distance.
"Both sides, release your martial souls, the match will officially begin in one minute!"
