The maid couldn't help but show a surprised expression…
She had just prepared to rush onto the battlefield to save Xu Sheng, but unexpectedly, the opponent hadn't taken any damage at all!
Could it be that what the Titled Douluo just said about not worrying wasn't a jest, but that he truly had the ability to defeat a Soul Douluo?
At this thought, her heart couldn't help but be more shocked…
Being able to attain such power at this age was something not even Sea God's Island could accomplish!
Meanwhile, Xu Sheng's gaze also became severe, "Alright, if you don't have any other means of attack, then it's my turn now!"
Continuing to defend like this would only waste Soul Power, better to resolve the opponent quickly!
The man opposite barked angrily, "Shut up, my attacks are far from over!!!"
"Someone like you could never be my match!"
Xu Sheng pursed his lips, "Is that so? Then let me give you a little demonstration."
His ninth soul skill was suddenly unleashed below his feet...…
Visible to the naked eye, as a red light swept across the entire battlefield...
The man's body halted without warning, his eyes gradually growing vacant...
However, if one were close, they would find that his expression was extremely twisted as if enduring an indescribable pain...
The host scratched his head, expressing his confusion, "What...what happened? Why did the opponent suddenly stop moving??"
The audience, who had expected to see an exciting fight, was also a bit baffled...
"Wh...What's going on? Why is that Soul Douluo standing there like an idiot? What happened?"
"No idea, I only remember a red light crossing the battlefield, and then the opponent turned into this."
"Weird, what exactly are they doing? Could they both be observing each other's moves!"
"No... I think it's not that simple, Xu Sheng must have used some soul skill, it's just that it was released so fast, we couldn't see clearly!"
"Wait... could it be that both sides are using spiritual power to fight? Although it's rare, I've heard it's even more dangerous than regular fighting. A little carelessness can cause irreversible damage to the soul and turn one into an idiot!!"
And so, under everyone's gaze, ten quiet seconds passed by...…
This Soul Douluo Warrior suddenly twitched once, and then just collapsed limply on the ground, eyes rolling back...
Obviously, he had lost consciousness...
Seeing this, Xu Sheng then turned to the stunned host, reminding him, "Host, can you announce the result now? It's unlikely that he'll wake up anytime soon."
The latter, out of caution, still went over to confirm the condition of the Soul Douluo Warrior...
Then, he loudly announced, "The challenger has lost consciousness in combat, so, in this duel, Xu Sheng is victorious!"
Even though he didn't know what had happened, there was no doubt the challenger must have suffered something, which was why he showed that expression...…
"Huh? It's...it's over? Just like that? Wasn't Xu Sheng at a disadvantage just now?"
"Rigged, it's definitely rigged, Xu Sheng was clearly about to lose the duel, how could the situation have reversed in an instant!"
"Nonsense, Xu Sheng must have used some method we can't understand to defeat his opponent, there's no way there's any rigging!"
"Unacceptable, there must be an explanation for this duel, I can't believe a Soul Douluo could lose so bafflingly!"
"What are you doing, host? Why haven't you investigated the situation yet? How could you announce the result of the duel on your own, could it be that you have been bought off?"
The host looked at Xu Sheng with embarrassment and asked in a low voice, "Xu… Xu Sheng, what exactly did you use to defeat your opponent? If you don't provide an explanation, I'm afraid the audience won't accept this!"
To this, Xu Sheng also gave a concise response, "Simply put, I engaged in a confrontation of spiritual power with him, and then he lost, just like that!"
"Next, I will have to ask you to explain it to everyone!"
Having said this, he didn't hesitate to jump off the stage and turned to leave...…
Seeing this, the host broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead...
This... This is passing the buck to me!
...…
After returning backstage, facing Gui Mei who had been waiting for a long time, Xu Sheng smiled and said, "Elder Gui, it seems that I haven't lost to that Soul Douluo!"
The former couldn't help but smack his lips and said, "I didn't expect that, you really defeated that Soul Douluo with a single blow!"
"However, if I'm not mistaken, you must have used your ninth soul skill, right?"
Even though that crimson light was swift, he still clearly saw Xu Sheng's ninth soul ring light up!
Xu Sheng had no intention of hiding it, "Correct, I used my ninth soul skill, but because it's an attack of a spiritual nature, there weren't any noticeable changes!"
Gui Mei then propped up his chin and said, "That is indeed the case, but it's quite preposterous that you, with a plant-class martial soul, would have a spiritual power attack!"
Xu Sheng just shrugged his shoulders, "Perhaps it's because the soul ring I absorbed came from a spiritual-type soul beast."
Gui Mei didn't press further but instead reminded him, "Right, there's something I need to tell you. Just now, Great Priest Poseidon sent someone again!"
"Unlike the last time, this appears to be a Titled Douluo, though it seems his purpose is to invite you to the palace of the Great Priest!"
Xu Sheng wasn't surprised, "I see, no wonder I just felt a strong spiritual power watching me!"
However, to send a Titled Douluo, surely it had caught Great Priest Poseidon's attention!
Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside, "Xu Sheng, there's someone here to see you!"
Xu Sheng came to his senses and signaled, "Let her in."
Soon, the door was pushed open, and the maid of Great Priest Poseidon walked in...
Upon seeing her, he took the initiative to speak, "You must be Xu Sheng. Allow me to introduce myself; I am the maid who serves the Great Priest!"
Xu Sheng replied with composure, "Then, may I know the reason for your visit?"
The maid didn't wish to waste time and got straight to the point, "I'll skip the formalities. This time, the Great Priest wishes to see you, please follow me to the palace!"
Xu Sheng raised his eyebrows, "The Great Priest wants to see me? For what reason?"
It seems that Poseidon wanting to see him was not just because he stood out in the arena!
The maid took a deep breath, looking him in the eye and said, "It's simple, you are someone who might change the fate of Sea God's Island!"
Initially, she herself was unwilling to believe it, but having witnessed his talent firsthand today, perhaps he really could influence the fate of Sea God's Island!!!
