Chapter 438 Next time, learn to shut up!

The Soul Master Academy Elite Competition was in full swing, and the battlefield was already surrounded by spectators. Every game touched the hearts of countless people, and this one was the focus of the battle.

"The next battle is between Zhang Fang from Tianwu Soul Master Academy and Lu Yu from Xingyun Academy!"

The host's voice echoed in the venue, and in an instant, the audience burst into warm cheers.

Two figures walked out from both ends of the ring.

Zhang Fang is tall and handsome, with a hint of arrogance and confidence in his eyes. He is the captain of Tianwu Academy, a four-ring soul master, and his martial soul is a rare feathered bird. When the martial soul possesses him, a pair of feathers as sharp as knives will grow on his back, making him extremely good at long-range attacks and speed suppression.

Lu Yu, thin but tall, with a delicate face but a hint of determination. His martial soul is the Armored Giant Wolf, good at close combat and power suppression.

The two men stared at each other from a distance, and the air on the ring seemed to become stagnant because of their momentum.

"Lu Yu, you shouldn't be standing here." Zhang Fang said calmly, with a hint of contempt in his voice, "If you are not strong enough, you should admit defeat earlier, otherwise you will only bring shame upon yourself."

Lu Yu snorted coldly, and glanced at Zhang Fang with disdain: "You will soon know whether you are asking for trouble or not. You can't win the game just by talking."

Zhang Fang chuckled, and the wings behind him fluttered slightly, shining with a metallic luster. "If that's the case, then let me see what qualifications you have to stand on this battlefield."

Before he finished speaking, his spirit rings emerged from under his feet. Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, four spirit rings moved up and down. In an instant, his martial spirit possessed him, and a pair of feathers like steel knives quickly grew out of his back. The feathers vibrated slightly and made a sharp sound.

Lu Yu was equally unwilling to be outdone, the spirit rings under his feet shone, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and the momentum of the four-ring spirit master was no less impressive. A silver light flashed on his body, and the spirit battle armor giant wolf possessed him. The muscles in his arms swelled, and sharp wolf claws grew on his fingertips.

"Game start!"

At the host's command, Zhang Fang took the lead in launching the offensive.

"Feather Blade Breaks!"

His second soul ring suddenly lit up, and the feathers behind him vibrated violently. Dozens of feather blades broke away from the wings like sharp arrows and shot towards Lu Yu at an extremely fast speed.

"Humph!"

Lu Yu roared, slammed his feet on the ground, and leaped to the side quickly. The feather blade passed by his side and hit the ring, leaving deep cracks.

"Nice speed." Zhang Fang sneered and waved his hands. More feather blades flew out from behind and turned into silver light and shadows chasing after Lu Yu.

Lu Yu's eyes were solemn. Facing such intensive attacks, he did not dare to neglect it at all. His third soul ring lit up, and a layer of earthy yellow light enveloped his body. After the giant wolf's battle armor was attached to his body, his defense and speed were greatly improved.

"Thunder Claw!"

Lu Yu let out a low roar, and his body suddenly accelerated. Lightning surged on his wolf claws, and he crossed the ring like a flash of lightning, rushing towards Zhang Fang towards the feather blade.

A cold light flashed in Zhang Fang's eyes, and he lightly tapped his fingers, and his fourth soul ring lit up.

"Thousand-year soul skill - Feather Kill!"

As his voice rang out, the feathers behind him suddenly burst into brilliant light, and countless feather blades flew out from his body, like a feather blade storm, covering the entire arena.

"Hmph, you want to use a large-scale attack to block my movements?" A gleam of light flashed in Lu Yu's eyes, his body suddenly paused, and his fourth soul ring also lit up.

"Mad Wolf Charge!"

The khaki light condensed on his body, forming a huge wolf shadow. The wolf shadow merged with his body and turned into a terrifying energy shock wave, crashing straight into the feather blade storm.

"boom!"

The Feather Blade Storm and the Mad Wolf Attack collided in the air. The violent energy fluctuations swept across the entire arena and even hit the barrier of the audience seats, making a deafening sound.

In the smoke and dust, Zhang Fang sneered: "This move is not something you can resist."

As soon as he finished speaking, a wolf figure rushed out from the smoke and dust and pounced on Zhang Fang.

Zhang Fang's eyes narrowed slightly, his body retreated instantly, and he flapped his wings, and several feather blades once again faced the wolf shadow.

"Break it for me!"

Lu Yu roared, and the lightning in the wolf shadow surged, directly tearing the feather blade apart, and crashed towards Zhang Fang with the remaining force.

Zhang Fang's expression finally became solemn. He clasped his hands together suddenly, and his wings wrapped around his body, forming a feather blade shield.

"boom!"

The Mad Wolf's charge hit the Feather Blade Shield. The violent impact forced Zhang Fang to retreat several steps, and his foot left a long mark on the ring.

"It seems that I underestimated you." Zhang Fang raised his head, the sneer on his face disappeared, replaced by a grim look.

Lu Yu was panting heavily, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, but his eyes were still as sharp as a knife. "Zhang Fang, don't think that you can be arrogant just because you have a rare martial spirit. Today, I will let you know that the real strong do not rely on martial spirits, but on strength!"

"Really?" Zhang Fang looked at him coldly, spreading his hands and spreading his wings behind him again. This time, his soul power surged like a tide, and the air on the entire ring seemed to be deformed by the pressure.

"In that case, let me show you my full strength!"

His fourth soul ring lit up again. This time, the power of Feather Kill was even greater than before. Hundreds of feather blades gathered around him, forming a terrifying feather blade tornado.

"Yusha-Tornado!"

The tornado roared towards Lu Yu, and the strong airflow made the spectators at the edge of the ring feel the pressure coming towards them.

"Well done!"

Lu Yu's eyes shone brightly, his third and fourth soul rings lit up at the same time, and the shadow of the armored giant wolf appeared again, but this time, his fists condensed the dual power of thunder and earth elements.

"Earth-shattering Thunder Fist!"

He suddenly punched out with both fists, and the fist wind carried a huge wolf shadow and faced the tornado head-on.

"Boom!"

The entire arena was shaken violently by the powerful energy impact, countless pieces of gravel were flying, and smoke and dust rose up.

After a long time, when the smoke and dust cleared, two figures stood facing each other in the center of the arena.

Zhang Fang's wings were a little messy, and his face was pale, obviously his soul power was greatly consumed. Lu Yu was also in a mess, and the shadow of his battle armor giant wolf had dissipated, but he still stood straight, with tenacity in his eyes.

"It seems that I lost this battle." Zhang Fang smiled bitterly and put away his martial spirit.

Lu Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his tone calm but firm: "No, you didn't lose. I just fought harder than you."

After a moment of silence, the whole audience burst into thunderous applause. In this battle, both Zhang Fang and Lu Yu showed their strong strength and unyielding will.

The host announced loudly: "In this match, Xingyun Academy's Lu Yu wins!"

Below the stage, the audience cheered enthusiastically, while the two men on the ring just stared at each other quietly and nodded, with an indescribable respect between them.

The air in the forest was oppressive and suffocating. Zhang Fang's aura was like that of a cheetah, staring at Lu Yu not far away.

"Lu Yu," Zhang Fang said coldly, his eyes flashing with coldness, "You have been hiding for long enough. Today, I will let you know the price of angering me."

Lu Yu stood there, his expression calm, seemingly unconcerned about the threat in front of him. He glanced at Zhang Fang's slightly trembling fist and smiled softly: "You went to so much trouble just to stop me here? Or do you just want to show off your insignificant strength?"

Zhang Fang gnashed his teeth, and the soul power gathered in his hands almost made the air around him tremble. He said sternly: "Stop talking nonsense! If you don't explain clearly today, don't even think about leaving!"

Lu Yu sighed lightly, with his hands behind his back, as if he was staying out of the matter: "I have said it before, not everyone can challenge my bottom line casually. But since you are so persistent, I can only let you see what real strength is."

Zhang Fang's face suddenly darkened. He roared, stomped his feet, and rushed towards Lu Yu like an arrow. His soul rings lit up, two yellow and one purple, and soul power waves rolled in.

"Go to hell!" Zhang Fang punched Lu Yu in the chest.

Lu Yu calmly dodged to the side, his footsteps as light as a falling leaf. Zhang Fang's punch missed, and the wind from his punch raised a cloud of dust.

"That's it?" Lu Yu chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, "Two yellow and one purple, is this the spirit ring combination you are so proud of?"

Zhang Fang turned back suddenly, his eyes burning with anger: "What did you say?"

Lu Yu's voice was still calm, but the sharpness contained in it made people shudder: "I say, with this level of spirit ring, you are not qualified to stand in front of me arrogantly."

"Arrogant!" Zhang Fang roared again, and his second soul ring suddenly lit up, and a blazing flame burst out from his fist. His attack was aimed directly at Lu Yu's head.

However, just when Zhang Fang's fist was about to reach Lu Yu, Lu Yu finally moved.

He gently raised his right hand, and a faint blue light suddenly bloomed in his palm. In an instant, a powerful soul power wave swept out like a tsunami, completely dispersing Zhang Fang's attack.

"What?" Zhang Fang was so shocked that he was involuntarily pushed back several steps.

"It seems that you really overestimate your own strength." Lu Yu smiled slightly, and when he raised his hand, the dark blue light became more dazzling. With a low shout, a huge shadow slowly emerged behind him.

It was an ancient giant beast with a pitch-black body and icy cold eyes. It roared towards the sky, and the entire forest trembled.

"Martial Soul... You are finally willing to show your martial soul!" Zhang Fang was stunned, his voice full of disbelief.

Lu Yu nodded calmly: "Yes, this is my martial soul - 'Mysterious Ice Shadow Beast'. Now, it's your turn to see what the real soul ring ratio looks like."

As Lu Yu finished speaking, the soul rings around him lit up one by one.

The first soul ring shone with a bright yellow light, representing the powerful vitality of the hundred-year soul ring; then, two purple thousand-year soul rings appeared almost at the same time, and the powerful sense of oppression made Zhang Fang almost breathless.

"One yellow... two purple?!" Zhang Fang's voice trembled with shock. "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! How could you have such a ratio of spirit rings?"

Lu Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, with a hint of amusement: "Impossible? That's only for you."

Zhang Fang forced himself to calm down and snorted coldly: "No matter how strong your spirit ring ratio is, it is just a decoration. Spirit power is the key to victory or defeat!"

Lu Yu shook his head, with a hint of pity in his expression: "Sometimes, I really envy you frogs in the well. After all, ignorance is also a kind of happiness."

"Looking for death!" Zhang Fang was completely enraged, and his third soul ring suddenly lit up. His body was instantly wrapped in flames, and the whole person turned into a beam of fire and rushed towards Lu Yu.

Lu Yu stood still, as if he hadn't seen Zhang Fang's attack. A cold light flashed in his eyes: "Since you don't know your own strength, I will let you see what real strength is!"

He raised his hand slightly, and the first soul ring suddenly lit up. The yellow light was as dazzling as a small sun.

"First Soul Skill - Ice Shadow Body Protection."

In an instant, Lu Yu's body was covered by a layer of ice armor, and the flames that were rushing towards him were completely extinguished the moment they came into contact with the ice.

"What?!" Zhang Fang's eyes were full of disbelief.

Lu Yu did not give him time to react, the second soul ring immediately lit up, and purple light swept out like a tide.

"Second soul skill - Ice Blade Dance."

As Lu Yu shouted, countless ice blades appeared out of thin air and attacked Zhang Fang like a rainstorm. Zhang Fang tried to block them, but the number and speed of the ice blades were far beyond his imagination. As soon as his flames touched the ice blades, they were instantly defeated.

"It's time to end." Lu Yu's voice was cold and calm.

He raised his right hand, and the third soul ring suddenly lit up.

"Third soul skill - Mysterious Ice Prison."

Ice pillars burst out from the ground and surrounded Zhang Fang at an alarming speed. Zhang Fang struggled desperately, but the ice pillars were like a cage, trapping him completely.

Zhang Fang yelled in horror: "Let me out! You can't do this to me!"

Lu Yu stepped forward and stared coldly at Zhang Fang who was trapped in the ice prison: "Remember, this is just a warning. If you dare to provoke me again next time, I will not show mercy."

After saying that, he waved his hand gently, and the icicles instantly disintegrated, turning into ice chips and dissipating in the air.

Zhang Fang collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, his eyes filled with fear and despair. He could never have imagined that he would be defeated so thoroughly.

Lu Yu turned and left, his back straight and stern. His voice drifted in the wind, but it was clearly heard by Zhang Fang: "Strength is not something you can prove with words. Next time, learn to shut up."

The audience was filled with noise, and almost everyone stood up, staring at the spirit ring on the young man in the arena. Especially the big guys on the high platform, although they managed to maintain their calmness, they could not hide their astonishment.

"The first spirit ring is a purple thousand-year spirit ring... Is this possible?"

"Is it a special martial spirit? Or does he have some unknown physique?"

"Even so, the first soul ring is a thousand years old, isn't that too outrageous? Can his body withstand such pressure?"

Discussions arose one after another, and shock and confusion filled everyone's expression.

At this moment, Lu Yu stood there calmly on the stage. In his hand, a huge bronze seal slowly rotated, emitting a cold light. Compared to the noise in the audience, Lu Yu's face remained calm.
