Chapter 178: Shocking the Pope's Hall
If it were the Deep Sea Demon Whale King in its true form or half-human form, they naturally wouldn't dare fight. But a mere human form? Who would be afraid!
Moreover, during the previous battle with the soul beasts, they were all thoroughly humiliated by the soul beasts. This time, they wanted to give the soul beast boss, Ye Wen, a severe lesson. It was indeed a rare opportunity.
"Very well, then you go first, Snake Spear Douluo," Ye Wen smiled and said to Snake Spear.
When challenging, one should always start with the weakest opponent, and among them, Snake Spear Douluo had the lowest rank, a 92nd-level Title Douluo.
Moreover, Snake Spear Douluo was quite weak. Ye Wen remembered that he once fought to a stalemate with Yang Wudi, who was at level 82, drawing a 50-50 result.
He was often ridiculed as a disgrace to the Title Douluo rank.
Ye Wen decided to test his peak strength with Snake Spear Douluo first, then, if he was successful, he would consider challenging stronger opponents.
"Your Majesty the Pope, please allow me to fight! I want to battle this soul beast!" Snake Spear Douluo said aggressively, seeking permission from Bibi Dong.
"Go ahead, Elder Snake Spear," Bibi Dong thought for a moment before agreeing. She actually wanted to see Ye Wen suffer.
Ye Wen had caused quite a bit of destruction to the Pope's Hall, taken so many ten-thousand-year spirit bones from their Spirit Hall, and even slapped Bibi Dong herself!
These things, Bibi Dong had not forgotten!
Now, Ye Wen said he wanted to challenge their Title Douluos in his human form, without the power of a soul beast—simply an impossible idea!
"Let's fight!"
Since they couldn't kill Ye Wen, at least letting him suffer a little wasn't a bad thing.
"Ye Wen! Now you want to fight me on the dueling platform, without using your soul beast form? Let's see how I, Snake Spear, will make you bite the ground!" Snake Spear Douluo said fiercely, then made his way to the dueling platform.
"Heh." Ye Wen smiled faintly and followed behind Snake Spear Douluo.
Soon, the news of Ye Wen coming to the Pope's Hall to challenge Snake Spear Douluo with his human form spread like wildfire through the Pope's Hall.
A large number of Spirit Hall soul masters and disciples immediately put down their work and training, all rushing to the dueling platform to watch the fight.
"Hey, hey, hey! Did you hear?!"
"The soul beast leader, Ye Wen, came to our Spirit Hall to challenge Elder Snake Spear. He's already at the dueling platform, ready to start!"
"What!! I heard that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King couldn't even defeat the Great Enshrinement! Snake Spear Elder actually dares to accept the challenge? How brave!"
"Ye Wen is going to challenge with his human form, without using the soul beast power!"
"So that's it! I wondered why Snake Spear Elder dared to fight the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Let's go, let's go see!"
"Quick! Hurry up, we'll be late!"
"Nana, Yan, let's go take a look too," Evil Moon said, looking at Hu Liena and Yan.
"Okay!"
The Golden Generation of Spirit Hall quickly made their way toward the dueling platform.
At this moment, Ye Wen and Snake Spear Douluo were already standing on the dueling platform. They were ten meters apart, their eyes locked in a tense stare. The surrounding area was already packed with people, a sea of spectators, with almost all the observation platforms full.
Snake Spear Douluo's face was full of determination.
Ye Wen, on the other hand, wore a faint smile.
"Hmph! This Deep Sea Demon Whale King really is arrogant! With just human strength, he dares come to our Pope's Hall and challenge our Title Douluos!"
"He's simply asking for trouble!"
"If he can defeat Snake Spear Douluo without using his soul beast power, I'll eat shit right here!"
"Yeah! It's only been two years since the Soul Master Competition, and back then, Ye Wen was just at the Spirit King level! How strong could his human strength be after just two years? At most, he'd be a Soul Emperor!"
"A mere Soul Emperor thinks he can challenge a Title Douluo?! Haha, what a joke! It's laughable!"
"Don't even talk about Soul Emperor. Even if Ye Wen has reached Soul Saint, he still wouldn't be a match for Snake Spear Douluo. Title Douluo! Do you know how powerful Title Douluos are?! Ye Wen will definitely lose today. If he wins, I'll eat shit with you!"
The crowd of onlookers was intensely discussing.
However, no one was optimistic about Ye Wen. Everyone thought that his human form had no chance of defeating a Title Douluo.
They were all mocking and ridiculing Ye Wen.
"Hey! You two who said you'd eat shit, I remember what you said. When I defeat Snake Spear Douluo, if you don't eat it, I'll kill you!" Ye Wen pointed at the two Spirit Hall disciples.
"Don't say anything else, don't look at him," they immediately panicked, cold sweat pouring down their faces as they lowered their heads, too frightened to speak any longer.
"Heh." Ye Wen sneered, then returned his gaze to Snake Spear Douluo and said, "Come on, Snake Spear Douluo!"
"You can attack whenever you like." Snake Spear Douluo said with some disdain. In his view, Ye Wen was just at the Soul Emperor level, and he didn't need to prepare for a fight against such a weak opponent.
He even thought he could take control of the situation however he wanted!
Ye Wen smiled. This was clearly an underestimation of his strength!
"Alright, I'll see if you still have such confidence after the fight," Ye Wen shrugged nonchalantly. The next second, his fighting spirit ignited, and the blood within him began to boil!
His emotions surged, and excitement filled him!
Because he knew that Snake Spear Douluo from Spirit Hall would definitely not hold back. He would try his best to injure him.
This was the kind of battle that was interesting!
"Martial Soul Possession!!"
"Roar!!!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King martial soul appeared!
The soul rings under Ye Wen's feet also rose up—purple, purple, black, black, red, red, red!
"Wait, wait a second!!!"
"Seven rings… Soul Saint??"
"No… it can't be!"
"Soul Saint! He really made it to Soul Saint… how is that possible?! How could he cultivate so fast?!"
"If I'm not wrong, his human form is only 14 years old! 14 years old, and a Soul Saint?!"
"I'm stunned! I'm totally stunned, 14 years old Soul Saint, this has never happened in history!"
"Hey, hey! Look at his soul ring configuration, three… three 100,000-year spirit rings!!"
Hiss!
So... terrifying!!
The entire audience was stunned, mouths agape, in shock.
They had never expected Ye Wen's human form to have already reached the Soul Saint realm, with three 100,000-year spirit rings.
This completely shocked everyone.
Snake Spear Douluo's brow furrowed slightly, realizing things weren't going to be as easy as he thought.
"Snake Spear Douluo, my human form already has 75-level spirit power. Are you sure you still want to fight with that condescending attitude?" Ye Wen gave Snake Spear Douluo one last chance.
Snake Spear Douluo remained confident: "Heh, what's so special about a 75-level Soul Saint? There's still a 17-level difference between our spirit power. Do you know how big the gap is between a Title Douluo and a Soul Douluo?"
