Xu Tianyi dared to challenge five opponents precisely because of his First Spirit Skill, "Dragon Splendor Flash."
With speed and strength far exceeding Spirit Masters below Rank 20, he believed that even against multiple opponents, he could decisively end the battle.
The battle did end decisively, but Xu Tianyi himself was the one who was ended.
The moment the spear tip touched his throat, Xu Tianyi's pupils constricted slightly.
He stared at that point of cold light, his breathing halted, his dragon-transformed right arm still held an attacking posture, but he could no longer advance even half an inch.
He lost!
He lost completely!
Cheers and discussions erupted from outside the Soul Fighting Arena, but Xu Tianyi felt these sounds were incredibly distant.
In his ears, there was only his own heavy breathing and the drumming of blood against his eardrums.
He was unwilling!
The arrogance of the Purple Bright Heaven Extinguishing Dragon boiled in his blood, and the muscles beneath his dragon scales were still taut with battle intent.
He didn't even have the courage to say something like "Let's fight again" to Kong Xuan.
Because Kong Xuan had defeated him without even using a Spirit Ability, and precisely because he understood his own strength, he knew Kong Xuan's terror even more.
Now he also understood why the Class Teacher had called on Kong Xuan earlier; it turned out this person was the top student among the 25 in the class.
Xu Tianyi stared intently at Kong Xuan, his throat bobbing, as if he wanted to say something.
But in the end, he just slowly retracted his dragon-transformed right arm.
"Good spear technique!"
His voice was low, each word seemingly squeezed through his teeth.
Kong Xuan's expression was calm, his sky-supporting spear slowly retracted, its crystal-like shaft appearing even more clear and translucent under the sunlight, its sharpness contained.
He glanced at Xu Tianyi and said indifferently, "You concede!"
Those two understated words made Xu Tianyi's chest tighten.
He knew, of course, that Kong Xuan had no intention of mocking him, but it was precisely this calmness that made it harder for him to accept.
Did he not even have the qualification to make the other party take him seriously?
Kong Xuan naturally didn't know Xu Tianyi's thoughts at this moment, otherwise he would have chuckled, "You're overthinking it."
Kong Xuan didn't use Spirit Abilities not because he looked down on his opponent.
Rather, it was because after knowing the opponent's Spirit Ability, he already had a plan for the upcoming fight.
Xu Tianyi had been taught by famous teachers since childhood, but Kong Xuan had trained with the Sea God Pavilion Master from ten thousand years later for two years!
If he couldn't even defeat the one-ring Xu Tianyi with his spear technique, *that* would be truly shameful!
The commotion outside gradually faded, and Xu Tianyi took a deep breath to suppress his surging emotions.
The dragon scales on his right arm slowly receded, but the post-battle stiffness lingered.
The Class Teacher, Ren Jun, who had been acting as referee in mid-air, landed on the Soul Fighting Arena and announced loudly, "This soul battle, the winner is Kong Xuan's side!"
Ren Jun's gaze towards Kong Xuan was filled with admiration; although he hadn't yet seen what Kong Xuan's two Spirit Abilities were, his spear technique had already astonished Ren Jun, a top student from Shrek Academy.
Ren Jun naturally saw that Kong Xuan, who easily defeated Xu Tianyi, hadn't even used his full strength in spear technique, otherwise Xu Tianyi probably wouldn't have been able to withstand even a single move.
In terms of technique alone, in Ren Jun's knowledge, no one below three spirit rings could surpass Kong Xuan.
From Kong Xuan's spear technique, he had already seen the prototype of Spear Intent!
To have such comprehension at the age of eight, one could only say he was a born prodigy.
Xu Tianyi lowered his proud head, but not long after, he raised it again, his gaze at Kong Xuan filled with battle intent: "Next time, I will win!"
Xu Tianyi's reaction was somewhat beyond Kong Xuan's expectation; he didn't expect this royal family member to have such backbone, possessing both the courage to admit defeat and the determination to strive forward.
However, regarding Xu Tianyi's "threat," Kong Xuan merely smiled faintly and said, "Good, I'll be waiting for that day!"
As the loser in the class leader competition, Xu Tianyi turned and left.
He clenched his fist, and purple-gold spirit power flowed in his palm.
If unwilling, then become stronger!
Strong enough so that the sky-supporting spear could no longer press against his throat.
Xu Tianyi's departure did not signify the end of the match.
There were six of them in total, all competitors; now only one person had been eliminated.
Compared to the lively audience outside the Soul Fighting Arena, the air on the other side of the arena seemed to solidify.
The moment Kong Xuan's spear tip touched Xu Tianyi's throat, Bi Jin, Ye Lingtong, Han Lingxi, and Wang Xiao all widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.
Xu Tianyi, defeated?
Xu Tianyi, who almost instantly killed Ye Lingtong, was defeated so easily by Kong Xuan?!
This battle was Kong Xuan and the four of them against Xu Tianyi, but from the result, it was Kong Xuan alone who eliminated the opponent.
And next, Kong Xuan would be their opponent.
They eliminated a powerful Xu Tianyi, but unexpectedly encountered an even more powerful existence!
Bi Jin's fists clenched unconsciously, his knuckles turning white.
Facing Xu Tianyi, he felt that under his command, even if they were cooperating for the first time, they could achieve ultimate victory.
But if the next opponent was Kong Xuan, he no longer had such confidence.
This was not just Bi Jin's thought at the moment; the other three felt the same way.
And at this moment, the Class Teacher's voice came again.
"How do you want the next match to proceed?"
When asking this question, Ren Jun's gaze remained on Kong Xuan, actually asking for Kong Xuan's opinion.
And to this, neither Kong Xuan's four upcoming opponents nor the audience around the Soul Fighting Arena showed any objection; Kong Xuan's performance just now had already made them acknowledge his strength.
Kong Xuan's gaze swept over the four opponents, his expression showing no fluctuation.
But to Bi Jin and the other three, Kong Xuan's eyes seemed terrifyingly calm, as if he was looking at... prey!
This sent a shiver down their spines instantly, and they couldn't help but shout in their hearts, "Don't panic!"
But despite saying so, cold sweat had already seeped into their palms.
When Kong Xuan retracted his gaze and looked at Ren Jun again, he replied, "Let them all come at once."
Xu Tianyi had said the same thing not long ago, and as the one who defeated him, Kong Xuan naturally had more qualification and strength to choose to fight four at once!
This time, Ren Jun did not confirm this choice again as he had with Xu Tianyi, but merely showed a rare smile on his face, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Good!"
Ren Jun reactivated his flying spirit tool and left the ground of the Soul Fighting Arena.
However, before he acted, he transmitted a message to Kong Xuan, saying, "Let them see your true strength."
Bi Jin clenched his fists, looking at the stunned expressions of those beside him, and shouted, "One-on-one, none of us are his match, but if the four of us attack together, there might still be hope of winning!"
Even if the others knew the hope of winning was slim, Bi Jin's words still ignited the flames of battle in their hearts.
As geniuses praised by people, they wouldn't give up so easily.
Looking at the four opponents whose battle intent was rising, Kong Xuan rotated the sky-supporting spear in his hand, its tip drawing a silver arc in the air.
Kong Xuan took a deep breath, the butt of the sky-supporting spear heavily striking the ground of the Soul Fighting Arena, and light instantly illuminated beneath his feet.
His spirit ring combination would be known sooner or later; now that the Class Teacher himself had given the order, he would no longer hide it.
Two brilliant halos rose from beneath Kong Xuan's feet, the light so dazzling that everyone involuntarily squinted their eyes.
And these two lights were both noble purple!
