The host also revealed a surprised expression, as if he had not expected the other party to really possess strength...
He couldn't help but whisper, "Soul Sage? Xu Sheng, are you... sure you're alright?"
After all, this was a Soul Sage, and the opponents Xu Sheng had previously defeated were Soul Kings and combatants of Soul Emperor level. It's uncertain whether they would be a match for him!
Xu Sheng shook his head and dismissed, "No problem. Soul Kings, Soul Emperors, they are no different to me!"
The host, hearing this bold tone, didn't feel surprised...
After all, the former could easily defeat Soul Kings and Soul Emperors. It wasn't impossible for his real strength to have reached that of a Soul Sage!
With this thought, he then declared, "Well then, I announce that this match will now begin!"
The Soul Sage opposite didn't rush to attack but rather lifted his chin proudly and said, "Don't say that I'm bullying you with my age. I'll let you have three moves!"
After speaking, he puffed out his chest, not even intending to defend...
In his view, Xu Sheng was merely someone who, relying on simulated soul skills, had produced nine soul rings. His real strength probably wasn't even at the Soul Ancestor level!
As for those he had defeated before, they were probably just paid by the arena for hype!
This directly caused some among the audience to become angry, unable to refrain from discussing, "He's too arrogant, saying he'll let Xu Sheng take three moves, completely disregarding him!"
"That's a Soul Sage. He probably knows Xu Sheng's real strength. That's why he's so confident!"
"Hiss... Could it be that Xu Sheng's recent battles were indeed fake? Otherwise, how could he manage to fight so many consecutive matches without stepping down to recover Soul Power!"
"Damn it, if it really was a rigged match, we must make the arena refund us, or we'll not let them off!"
"Quiet down. You believe a few words from the other side? We've all witnessed the past few matches. There was no sight of the opponent going easy. I believe there wasn't any match-fixing!!!"
"Tsk, the Soul Sage dared to say so, don't you understand? You're just a bunch of fools blinded by your money!"
"Who the fool is, is not yet certain. I've got my eye on you!"
Xu Sheng was staring at his opponent, "Are you sure you want to let me have three moves? You should be very clear about the outcomes of the previous opponents, right?"
The opponent, as if having seen through everything, mercilessly mocked, "Heh, those people must have been hired by the arena. Don't tell me you think I'm the same kind as them? Stop dreaming!"
A tinge of regret flashed in Xu Sheng's eyes, "Is that so? Then you'd better catch this!"
He took a deep breath and immediately, a storm of Nine-Hearted Begonias surged out, sweeping towards the opponent...
The opponent still had a face of disdain, "The same move again, but it's utterly useless against me!"
In an instant, a soul skill lit up beneath his feet...
Soon, layers of mist began to spread around him, dispersing in all directions, enveloping half of the stage...
The Nine-Hearted Begonias naturally fell within the range, were affected, and made a "sizzling" sound before they began to corrode violently...
Barely reaching the front, they completely turned to ash...
Seeing this, the man opposite kicked the ash away, "Heh, is this all you've got? It's difficult even to touch me!"
"You better use your full strength, otherwise, this whole match is going to be a one-sided crush!"
If there had been any doubt before, with Tong Guo's attack just now, he was certain that Xu Sheng was a weakling!
He was absolutely no match for him!
Xu Sheng chuckled softly, "Is that so? It seems that the attack just now really can't defeat you!"
As expected of a Soul Sage, he does have his special attributes.
Being able to use a soul skill to corrode Nine-Hearted Begonias, he can indeed be proud of himself!
However... that's all there is to it!
With those words, a soul ring beneath his feet lit up...
The Nine-Hearted Begonia, which had previously resembled vines, began to gradually decompose and then transformed into beautiful petals...
Then, slowly, they drifted forward, as if a breeze could carry them hundreds of meters away...
The man who witnessed this scene became even more arrogant...
"Are you begging for mercy? Even those vines couldn't cross my corrosive fog, let alone these petals, it's laughable!"
However, the petals didn't corrode as expected; they merely radiated a red light...
Following that, they continued drifting forward...
The man rubbed his eyes, somewhat in disbelief, "What... What's this? Unaffected by my fog? Impossible!"
However, his mind quickly cooled down...
"Even if they can pass through the fog, what of it? These tiny petals lack any offensive power, not even enough to break my shield!"
He didn't use a soul skill, instead, he concentrated Soul Power to form a barrier around his entire body...
"Eh... Although this move is quite ingenious, it seems somewhat difficult to inflict effective damage!"
"Indeed, mere petals will probably instantly dissolve upon meeting the Soul Force Barrier, what a waste of Soul Power!"
"Seriously, it's a battle between Soul Sages, why does it feel so frivolous, can't we get a more thrilling scene?"
"Idiot, the stronger the fighters, the more cautious the battle. If you want to see intense fighting, go to another arena, stop nitpicking here!"
However, a jaw-dropping scenario unfolded...
These petals, upon touching the Soul Force Barrier, were not hindered in the slightest and freely entered within...
"Pfft!"
The dense petals directly sliced through the man's skin, and blood began to flow from all over his body...
But there was no pain, just a bit of itchiness...
After a glance, the man couldn't help but laugh heartily, "Hahaha! Are you trying to tickle me? Such an attack, I don't even need to do anything, I can recover on my own!"
Xu Sheng just shook his head, "You seem to misunderstand something; my attacks were never meant to harm you!"
The offensive capabilities of the Nine-Hearted Begonia were indeed not high, but in other aspects, it reached the limit!
Otherwise, it wouldn't be comparable to a God Level Martial Soul!
The man frowned, "What do you mean by that? Not to harm me? Don't tell me..."
Suddenly, he hurriedly extended his right hand, only to find his movements were extremely slow...
Finally understanding, he stared intently at Xu Sheng, "You… you intended to poison me??"
He hadn't felt it at first, but as soon as he moved any part of his body, he experienced an extremely exaggerated slow effect...
"As time goes by, the toxin will spread throughout your body, and then, you will lose the ability to move!"
"Unfortunately, you didn't withstand my three moves!"
