Chapter 440 exceeded his expectations!

The spear in his hand suddenly glowed with a fiery blue light, and his aura instantly reached its peak. A strong soul power fluctuation swept across the entire venue, and even the audience in the audience felt a strong sense of oppression.

"Martial spirit's true form!"

Zhang Fang roared, and blue light enveloped his body. His figure suddenly grew larger, and the spear in his hand became thicker, emitting blazing blue flames all over his body.

"What a strong aura!"

There were bursts of exclamations from the audience, and many people turned pale at the shock of this momentum.

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression remained calm, and he said softly: "Yes, this is quite interesting."

Zhang Fang didn't say anything more. He stomped his feet hard, and the arena shook. He rushed towards Lu Yu like a blue tiger with the momentum of destroying the world.

"The falling stars break the sky!"

The spear pierced Lu Yu's chest with extremely fierce force, and the terrifying blue flame seemed to be able to burn everything.

"boom!"

The huge noise was deafening, and the entire arena was instantly covered in smoke and dust.

"Did you win?" The audience stared at the ring intently.

But when the smoke and dust cleared, Lu Yu's figure was still standing there. His golden seal floated in front of him, blocking all attacks.

Zhang Fang was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief: "Impossible! This is my strongest attack, how come it has no effect at all?"

Lu Yu sighed, with a hint of regret in his tone: "It is indeed very strong, but... still a little short."

Before he finished speaking, his figure disappeared again. Zhang Fang only felt a flash before his eyes, and a strong golden light came towards him.

"boom!"

This time, Zhang Fang had no time to defend himself. He was knocked flying and fell heavily to the ground, unable to stand up again.

The referee immediately rushed forward to check Zhang Fang's condition, and then announced loudly: "Lu Yu wins!"

The audience suddenly boiled over and applause surged like a tide.

Lu Yu slowly retracted the golden seal, glanced at Zhang Fang on the stage, and said calmly: "You are very strong, but your biggest weakness is that you rely too much on the power of your martial arts spirit and ignore the use of skills."

Zhang Fang lay on the ground, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Thank you for your teachings."

The medical team quickly came on stage and carried Zhang Fang off the stage for treatment. Under the gaze of everyone, Lu Yu calmly walked off the stage and returned to the contestant seat.

"Lu Yu is really too strong!"

"Yes, Zhang Fang had already used his martial soul avatar, but he still lost."

"Golden seal, what kind of martial spirit is this? It's too scary!"

The other contestants in the contestant booth were talking about it, their eyes full of fear.

Lu Yu was unmoved, closing his eyes and regulating his breathing, as if everything that had just happened was just an ordinary competition. This match was just the beginning, and the real challenge was still waiting for him.

In Douluo Continent, deep in the Sunset Forest, the atmosphere of an ancient battlefield has not yet dissipated, and the students watching the battle have already been stunned by the scene before them.

"This is impossible... The first spirit ring is actually a thousand-year level?" A student stared with his eyes wide open, almost biting his tongue. He couldn't believe what he saw.

"Forget about the first soul ring, his second soul ring is actually at the ten thousand year level! Is this... is this still a human soul master?" Another student pointed at the calmly standing figure in the field with trembling fingers, his voice trembling.

In front of them, Lu Yu stood calmly in the field. The soul power in his body surged like the tide. Golden and purple-black soul rings appeared alternately, giving people a suffocating feeling of oppression.

“Am I dazzled? His fourth soul ring is a hundred thousand year old red soul ring!” A female student screamed and rubbed her eyes quickly, but the red light was deeply imprinted on her retina like blood.

"Too outrageous! A hundred thousand year spirit ring... This is simply impossible. Aren't hundred thousand year spirit rings only seen among Titled Douluo?" Another student muttered to himself with a pale face. He thought he was already a genius, but in front of Lu Yu, he seemed not even a speck of dust.

“Heh, how on earth did he do it? According to the absorption limit of a normal soul master, even if he forcibly absorbs a thousand-year soul ring, he may explode and die, not to mention this horrific ratio.” A calm student among the students frowned as he analyzed, but could not get a reasonable explanation.

The teacher standing in the crowd also had a complicated expression on his face. He stared at Lu Yu and said in a low voice, "This is definitely not a simple talent issue. His martial spirit and physique may even have opportunities that are beyond our cognition..."

"Teacher, are you saying that he is simply incomparable to ordinary soul masters like us?" A male student lowered his voice, but his tone was still full of shock that was difficult to conceal.

"It's not just a problem for ordinary spirit masters. His spirit ring ratio is completely beyond common sense and even violates the theoretical rules of all spirit masters on the continent. Once this kind of person grows up, it will be the beginning of a new era, or..." The teacher paused and lowered his voice a few degrees, "a nightmare."

"Damn it, I don't accept it!" Suddenly, an angry voice broke the silence. A burly male student in the crowd suddenly stood up, clenched his fists, and said angrily: "What about the soul ring ratio? This is just his chance! If we fight head-on, he may not be able to beat me!"

When the students around heard this, they turned to look at him, with complicated emotions in their eyes.

"Huang Li, are you crazy? You are a level 39 Soul Master, and he is already a Soul Master. His soul ring ratio completely crushes you!" A student hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, trying to dissuade him.

"Oh, I, Huang Li, am not afraid of him!" Huang Li pointed at Lu Yu in the field with a blazing gaze and shouted, "Lu Yu, do you have the guts to fight me? Let me see how powerful your spirit ring ratio is!"

Lu Yu's eyes slowly turned over, his eyes were as calm as water, and he didn't seem to be aroused by Huang Li's provocation. He just smiled slightly and said softly: "Are you sure?"

These three simple words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Huang Li's heart hard. His body stiffened for a moment, but then he straightened his back and said loudly: "Of course! I admit that your spirit ring ratio is amazing, but the real battle cannot be determined by the age of the spirit ring!"

Lu Yu nodded and walked towards the center of the field. Every step he took carried an invisible aura, and the air around him seemed to be compressed. The students watching the game couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"In that case, I'll play with you." Lu Yu said calmly, without any tension or anger in his tone, as if he was just facing an ordinary competition.

"Lu Yu is about to take action!"

"What kind of soul skills can he use? His soul skills should be very abnormal!"

"Nonsense, a soul skill of a hundred thousand year soul ring... Who has ever seen a skill of this level?"

The students in the audience were talking about this. Everyone held their breath and stared at the two people in the audience intently.

Huang Li took a deep breath, clapped his hands, and released his martial soul - a powerful black giant bear shadow appeared behind him, and three yellow soul rings emerged.

"Come on!" Huang Li roared, and his first soul ring lit up. His body swelled instantly, and his muscles bulged. He seemed to have turned into a real giant bear.

Lu Yu just stood there and raised his hand slightly. With a flash of golden light, his martial spirit finally appeared - it was a spear emitting a cold light. The spear body was as black as ink, but it revealed an unparalleled sharp aura.

"What kind of martial spirit is this? I've never seen it before!"

"Oh my god, this kind of oppressive feeling, his martial spirit is so many times stronger than Huang Li's giant bear!"

"It's over. Huang Li has no chance of winning!"

Just as everyone was exclaiming, Lu Yu's first soul ring slowly lit up, and the thousand-year-old golden soul ring enveloped the entire venue with a faint glow. He said indifferently: "Take my shot first."

As the words fell, the spear in his hand shook violently, and instantly turned into a black lightning, piercing Huang Li.

"So fast!"

Huang Li's pupils shrank suddenly, and he immediately waved his arms to block without thinking. But the next moment, he felt an irresistible force coming at him, and he was directly knocked dozens of meters away and fell heavily to the ground.

"Puff——" Huang Li opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper.

The audience was silent.

"Is this your strength?" Lu Yu put away his gun and stood up, his eyes cold. He looked at Huang Li who fell to the ground, his voice without a trace of emotion, "You can't even block half the power of my first soul skill, do you still want to continue?"

Huang Li struggled to stand up, but the pain all over his body and the deep feeling of powerlessness made him collapse to the ground. He lowered his head, clenched his teeth, and looked unwilling, but he couldn't say a word.

"Are you convinced?" Lu Yu looked at him, his voice calm, yet with an irrefutable majesty.

Huang Li's lips trembled for a few times, and finally he lowered his head and uttered two words with difficulty: "I surrender."

This surrender seemed to have drained away all his strength.

Lu Yu nodded and turned to walk out of the field. His back looked particularly tall in the setting sun, like an insurmountable mountain.

The students in the audience were stunned for a long time, and everyone's face was filled with shock and awe.

“This is the gap…”

"Yeah, any genius seems insignificant in front of him."

“Perhaps, we are not from the same world at all.”

Amid the discussions, Lu Yu had already walked away, leaving behind only a silent battlefield and shaken hearts.

The morning sun shone on the high tower of Snowy Night City, shrouding the entire palace in a golden glow. The aftermath of the battle in the Great Fighting Spirit Arena had long since dissipated, but the stunning battle yesterday was like a dazzling pearl, and it spread throughout the aristocratic circles of the Snowy Night Empire early on.

Lu Yu stood in Prince Xuexing's study and looked up. The decoration of the study was extremely luxurious. Famous paintings were hung on the walls, and the bookshelves were full of various rare ancient books. Prince Xuexing was sitting behind a large sandalwood desk in the middle.

Prince Xuexing was dressed in a luxurious purple robe, with a dignified and handsome face. He raised his hand slightly, motioning Lu Yu to come forward.

"Lu Yu, your performance yesterday was outstanding. As the younger brother of His Majesty, I must admit that your strength not only amazes me, but also makes me feel gratified." Prince Xuexing spoke with a gentle but majestic tone.

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness." Lu Yu bowed slightly, speaking humbly. Although he never looked down on any opponent, he was particularly cautious when facing such a powerful figure.

Prince Xuexing smiled softly and stood up. He personally took out a token from an exquisite wooden box beside the desk and walked slowly to Lu Yu.

"This is the VIP token of the Tiandou Auction, which means you will become one of the most respected guests in Tiandou City. The Tiandou Auction will be held in three days, and you can attend with this token. Both the resources of the auction and the cooperation opportunities are extremely important to young people like you."

Lu Yu took the token and looked at it carefully. The token was silver-white with complicated patterns engraved in the center. In the center, a sapphire shone with a faint light, symbolizing its unique value.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Highness." Lu Yu bowed his head in thanks. The token in his hand felt heavy, not only because of its weight, but also because of the great meaning behind it.

"Lu Yu, your future is worth looking forward to. I heard that you are not from a noble family, but this makes me appreciate your talent and hard work even more." Prince Xuexing said slowly with a meaningful look of appreciation.

Lu Yu was slightly shocked, but soon calmed down. Someone like Prince Xuexing would not easily give such praise.

"Your Highness, thank you for your praise. I am just doing my best." Lu Yu smiled slightly, his attitude calm.

Prince Xuexing nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand. A servant beside him immediately stepped forward, holding an exquisite little box.

"This time, your performance not only brought honor to yourself, but also raised the reputation of the Great Soul Fighting Arena to a higher level. Therefore, His Majesty has specially approved a bonus, which will be awarded by the Academic Affairs Council. One hundred thousand gold soul coins will be delivered to you later."

Hearing this number, Lu Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised. One hundred thousand gold soul coins, this is an extremely generous reward. Even for ordinary nobles, it is not easy to get so much money at one time.

"One hundred thousand gold soul coins... is too much, Your Highness." Lu Yu took a deep breath, a trace of caution flashing in his eyes. It is not appropriate to be too excited at this time, but this generous reward is indeed beyond his expectations.

"Haha, young man, don't feel embarrassed. This is what you deserve. Strength determines everything, and your strength is the capital for you to obtain all this." Prince Xuexing laughed loudly, his eyes full of admiration.

Hearing this, Lu Yu nodded slightly and no longer refused.

At this moment, Prince Xuexing suddenly changed the subject and his tone became meaningful.

"In three days, the auction will gather the top nobles and forces of the entire Snowy Night Empire. People like you who have VIP tokens are rare, but you are not alone. The auction is not only a meeting of wealth and power, but also a rare opportunity to expand your network. Lu Yu, do you understand?"

Lu Yu was slightly stunned, and then he understood what Prince Xuexing meant.
