"I announce, the one-on-one soul duel officially begins."

White Elephant, soul manifestation!

Blazing Sun Gauntlets!

As soon as the words fell, Quan Yi and Xiang Lei summoned their soul manifestations at the same time, entering battle mode.

Xiang Lei's body was covered with a layer of white elephant hide, his height and body thickness both increasing by several tens of centimeters.

A white, chubby uncle of about 1.6 meters turned into a giant fatty exceeding 2 meters.

The most eye-catching change was in his face. Under the effect of the soul manifestation, his nose turned into a long elephant trunk, and pure white, sharp tusks grew on both sides of his nose.

Seeing Xiang Lei's appearance, Quan Yi was reminded of Pigsy, except Xiang Lei's nose was a bit longer.

As expected of an elephant soul manifestation, the change in size far exceeded other beast soul manifestations.

After summoning their soul manifestations, neither Quan Yi nor Xiang Lei acted rashly.

Xiang Lei was a little surprised. Many soul masters, after seeing his bulky figure, would use their speed to attack first, but looking at the motionless Quan Yi, he felt puzzled.

However, since you're not attacking, then I'll attack.

Xiang Lei strode out with his thick legs, rushing towards Quan Yi.

Most soul masters have a misconception about elephants, mistakenly thinking that elephants are slow.

But those who have truly interacted with elephants know very well that elephants are not slow at all.

The usual slow and leisurely impression of elephants has misled everyone, but with their tall and thick legs, they can run surprisingly fast.

The huge body, coupled with speed, makes many people waver for a moment when facing his charge for the first time.

Indeed, the unexpected speed also surprised Quan Yi somewhat.

Xiang Lei charged towards Quan Yi with unstoppable force. Just as everyone thought Quan Yi was about to be violently knocked away, Xiang Lei made an unexpected move.

This was Xiang Lei's signature combo. He disrupted his opponent's mind with unexpected speed, and at the last moment, used his first soul skill to increase the attack range, ensuring that his attack hit the opponent in a surprising way.

Many agility-type soul masters had been defeated by this move. Using this move also meant that Xiang Lei was not showing any mercy and wanted to defeat Quan Yi with one strike.

However, in Quan Yi's eyes at this moment, Xiang Lei's speed and this sudden attack were like slow motion, clearly visible without any surprises.

This was all thanks to Teacher Bai Yan's training.

After enduring a whole year under agility-type soul masters, Quan Yi's dynamic vision and reaction speed had been trained to be outstanding.

The elephant trunk, like a long whip, quickly swung towards Quan Yi, but Quan Yi's arm condensed with Adamantine.

Then, at the last moment, he raised his arm, wanting to block the elephant trunk's attack with just one hand.

Although he could have dodged the attack with his speed, Quan Yi chose to withstand it head-on.

"Hmph, foolish!" Xiang Lei scorned Quan Yi's choice in his heart. In his eyes, Quan Yi's performance was like a panicked rookie, just hastily blocking.

"Pa."

The elephant trunk was like a steel whip, fiercely striking Quan Yi's gauntlet, creating a huge sonic boom.

The thick elephant trunk was different from the imagined softness.

With the blessing of strength and soul power, his first soul skill, when hitting the enemy, was like hitting the body with a thick iron rod.

Success!

The moment he hit, Xiang Lei had already imagined the scene of Quan Yi's arm being broken.

However, the moment the elephant trunk hit the arm, an unpredictable resistance came from the elephant trunk, as if the elephant trunk had hit a steel pillar.

What!

Xiang Lei couldn't believe the scene before him.

Quan Yi easily blocked the elephant trunk's attack with just his right arm, and neither his body nor his arm wavered in the slightest.

Not giving his opponent time to react, Quan Yi immediately wrapped his right hand around the elephant trunk, tightly grasping the thick elephant trunk, and pulled it backward.

Xiang Lei's combat experience was also very rich. He judged that the defense just now should be some kind of soul skill of Quan Yi, so he quickly adjusted his body to resist Quan Yi's pull.

However, Xiang Lei was wrong about one thing. Quan Yi's ability to block his attack was not due to the effect of a soul skill.

Although Adamantine was used on the arm, its role was to increase the arm's defense, resisting damage to the flesh.

Maintaining the stability of the body and arm under the elephant trunk's strike was entirely due to Quan Yi's overwhelming physical strength.

As the saying goes, skill comes from courage. Quan Yi dared to use one arm to block his opponent's first soul skill.

It could be seen how confident Quan Yi was in his own strength.

But the truth was exactly like this. In terms of strength, Quan Yi far surpassed Xiang Lei.

The extremely heavy Xiang Lei, even after using all his strength, found it difficult to resist Quan Yi's pulling force.

"This guy, what great strength, is this also the effect of a soul skill?"

Xiang Lei attributed this extraordinary power to the soul skill. At the same time, Xiang Lei also admitted that he had been a little careless.

However, Xiang Lei was not someone to be trifled with. After realizing the difference in strength, he instead thought of using this pulling force to use his second soul skill.

Xiang Lei stepped forward, taking advantage of the moment when Quan Yi's old strength had faded and new strength had not yet been generated.

"Second Soul Skill, Tusk Thrust!"

He stomped his foot fiercely, his figure accelerating towards Quan Yi.

The pure white tusks also bloomed with dazzling white light.

Coming just at the right time.

Quan Yi released the elephant trunk, forcibly stabilizing his figure with his stable lower body, and then reached out his hands, steadily grabbing Xiang Lei's two tusks.

Quan Yi did not choose to withstand it head-on this time. At this moment, his figure was unstable, and the opponent was using his second soul skill, so the power must be far greater than before.

Therefore, he cleverly slid backward, using the impact force from the tusks.

Quan Yi's feet produced a sharp sound due to friction, and the ground also produced two long black scratches due to the friction with the soles of his shoes.

Quan Yi's body was pushed to a distance of five meters from the edge of the soul duel stage. Fortunately, Quan Yi managed to support himself at the end.

Quan Yi perfectly neutralized the impact force of Xiang Lei's second soul skill through this clever method.

This guy!

Xiang Lei's pupils shook violently.

The skills displayed by Quan Yi were clearly those of a strong person with rich combat experience.

Although the situation just now looked very dangerous, everything was actually under Quan Yi's control.

By resisting the first attack, Quan Yi had already confirmed the difference in strength between the two.

Xiang Lei's second soul skill was just a tool for Quan Yi to test his own strength.

After testing his strength, Quan Yi did not continue to waste time.

He used his arms forcefully, using his powerful strength to flip the tusks to the right, incidentally knocking Xiang Lei's body to the ground.

Then, he forcefully struck Xiang Lei's exposed side of the jaw with his right fist.

Although the body possessed the characteristics of a beast, it could not escape the constraints of the human form after all.

The powerful impact force would be directly transmitted to the brain through the jaw. No matter how thick-skinned the opponent was, they would inevitably faint under this blow.

Xiang Lei's eyes rolled back, and he instantly fainted.

The audience was silent. After a while, people reacted and suddenly burst into powerful cheers.

The host also hurriedly ran onto the soul duel stage to observe Xiang Lei's condition.

Then, he stood up and announced loudly: "Soul Warrior One-Punch Superman wins, with a record of one win and zero losses. Xiang Lei's record is thirty wins and eleven losses. Soul Master One-Punch Superman, please go to register your points after leaving the stage."
