Chapter 152: Battle with Golden Tiger
Half an hour later, the wall opposite Shi Lin slowly opened, revealing a huge arena outside. At the same time, a faint smell of blood entered the room.
Shi Lin stood up and walked out of the lounge. Standing on the hard surface of the arena, Shi Lin looked up and looked around.
The perimeter of the arena was enclosed by a two-meter-high wall, surrounded by railings. Beyond the railings were the stands, which were filled with spectators, all wearing expressions of rapture.
People who enjoy this kind of fighting are basically a bit abnormal.
These people were excited, crazy, cruel, and rich.
Just then, the door opposite opened, and a middle-aged man who was two meters tall walked out of the door.
This guy was tall and burly, with muscles all over his body, a full beard, fierce eyes, and an aura of killing intent. He was clearly a veteran of many battles and not an ordinary person.
Moreover, the cheers from the audience were exceptionally enthusiastic as this guy came out, which means that he must be a frequent visitor for soul battles.
Shi Lin frowned slightly. It was his first time at the Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena, and they had already assigned him such an opponent. They really thought highly of him.
Although somewhat nervous, Shi Lin still stepped forward confidently and bowed slightly in the manner of a soul master.
"Candle Dragon! Martial soul Space Cauldron, soul power level 26!"
"Golden Tiger, martial soul Golden Tiger, soul power level 28, kid, you make the first move, I'm afraid you'll be gone if I do." Golden Tiger's voice was like a booming bell, shaking the earth. He spoke to Shi Lin with a smile and ease.
In Golden Tiger's eyes, Shi Lin was nothing more than a baby who hadn't been weaned yet, and beating such a child wouldn't require much effort at all. So he didn't take Shi Lin seriously at all.
"Then I'll begin!" Shi Lin nodded, preparing to launch the first attack.
Shi Lin didn't stand on ceremony and charged forward in a flash.
Shi Lin is small in stature but fast, and with the added strength from the beast meat produced by the Beast Meat Gu, he is incredibly strong. However, Shi Lin is not a power-attack type soul master, so his strength is definitely not as great as Golden Tiger's.
However, Shi Lin has more tricks up his sleeve. Although he is not confident of a complete victory against Golden Tiger, he still has a chance of winning.
Shi Lin came within five meters of Golden Tiger. Golden Tiger thought Shi Lin was going to launch a strong attack, so he reached out to grab Shi Lin and end the fight.
But at that moment, Shi Lin waved his hands, and two spatial blades shot out.
"You little brat, you attacked from behind!" Golden Tiger's eyes widened instantly. He shouted and instinctively raised his hands, golden light enveloping his arms.
"Ding! Ding!"
Two metallic clangs rang out, and the massive Golden Tiger was actually forced back two steps.
As Golden Tiger retreated, everyone in the audience stared wide-eyed, and for a moment, cheers and boos filled the air... it became quite a scene.
"Wow, this light blade is incredibly powerful. Kid, you're interesting. You're even more interesting than I imagined." Golden Tiger muttered, narrowing his eyes. After sensing Shi Lin's power, Golden Tiger began to take Shi Lin seriously.
Shi Lin wasn't in a hurry. He moved backward, knowing that Golden Tiger was a power-type offensive soul master and Shi Lin absolutely couldn't compete with him in terms of strength.
After creating distance between himself and Golden Tiger, Shi Lin began to desperately unleash his spatial blades.
This time, however, Shi Lin used spatial cutting to cleave space. As spatial rifts appeared, spatial blades flew out from all directions.
For a time, the arena was filled with the clash of swords and the chaotic interplay of weapons.
Countless spatial blades attacked the Golden Tiger from all directions.
The audience, witnessing such a spectacular battle, were ignited with passion, rising to their feet to cheer and applaud.
Golden Tiger wasn't under much pressure; his protective golden light was just enough to withstand Shi Lin's spatial blade.
This made Shi Lin very uncomfortable, since the Space Blade was Shi Lin's only means of attack at this stage.
Shi Lin has no way to hurt Golden Tiger now.
But that makes sense, since the Empty Blade Gu is only a first-tier Gu worm, its lethality is relatively weak.
After this battle, Shi Lin will also need to find a way to upgrade the Empty Blade Gu to the second tier.
A few minutes later, the chaotic spatial blades finally made Golden Tiger impatient, and the smile on his face disappeared.
"Roar!" The golden tiger roared to the sky, and the golden light in its body covered its entire body, condensing into a pair of sharp tiger claws and a golden tail.
Golden Tiger's hair also turned golden, and he grew a size larger, looking even more ferocious and violent.
At this moment, Golden Tiger had already entered the state of martial soul possession.
"Goodness, is the first opponent this difficult?" Shi Lin muttered irritably.
Golden Tiger is really too troublesome; he's really difficult to deal with.
Golden Tiger can ignore his spatial blade, so Shi Lin doesn't have a good way to forcefully defeat this guy.
However, Shi Lin would not give up easily and began to think of ways to defeat this troublesome opponent.
After all, this wasn't a life-or-death battle, so Shi Lin couldn't use many of his underhanded tricks.
Otherwise, Golden Tiger really wouldn't be enough to handle.
Just then, Shi Lin's eyes lit up, and he moved swiftly, rushing towards Golden Tiger.
"How brave!" Golden Tiger's eyes lit up when he saw Shi Lin rushing towards him. His deep voice rang out, and he charged towards Shi Lin with heavy steps.
In his martial soul possession state, Golden Tiger's movements were noticeably less agile than at the beginning. Shi Lin observed Golden Tiger's movements, and his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
It seems that my chances of defeating Golden Tiger are getting better and better.
Just as he approached Golden Tiger, Golden Tiger reacted immediately and reached out to hug Shi Lin tightly.
Shi Lin paused forward, then ducked to avoid Golden Tiger's attack.
Golden Tiger missed his target, and the sound of his slap was extremely loud.
If Shi Lin's head were hit, he would be close to death.
Taking advantage of Golden Tiger's exhausted old strength and lack of new strength, Shi Lin grabbed Golden Tiger's belt, circled behind Golden Tiger, landed on his toes, and exerted force with his waist, causing Golden Tiger to cry out.
Golden Tiger, weighing over 200 pounds, was immediately lifted off the ground by Shi Lin.
The audience below went crazy at the sight of the battle arena.
Shi Lin actually managed to lift the two- or three-hundred-pound Golden Tiger; it was terrifying.
It also gave the audience an extremely exciting visual feast.
"Wow!"
"Damn!"
"Holy crap!"
...
The audience gasped in shock, and many people instinctively cursed out in disbelief.
A two-meter-tall strong man was lifted up by a one-meter-tall kid.
Golden Tiger was also stunned.
What the hell is this?
Is he born with superhuman strength?
However, Golden Tiger was a veteran of many battles, and after a struggle, he managed to break free from Shi Lin's grasp.
Shi Lin knew that this was not the time to confront Golden Tiger directly, so he distanced himself from Golden Tiger once again.
This time, Golden Tiger went berserk. The Golden Tiger who had just been lifted up was now filled with rage, and he had only one thought in his mind: to tear the little kid in front of him to pieces.
Shi Lin was just waiting for Golden Tiger to go crazy.
Golden Tiger mobilized all the golden light to gather in his hands and feet, wanting to rush towards him and deliver his strongest blow.
Seeing Golden Tiger's frenzied state, Shi Lin felt no fear, but instead showed a joyful expression.
Shi Lin showed no fear and charged straight at Golden Tiger.
Just then, Golden Tiger suddenly felt a killing intent coming. He turned his head and saw a spatial rift appear beside his neck. A three-in-one spatial blade shot out from the spatial rift.
It went straight for Golden Tiger's neck.
Golden Tiger's eyes were bloodshot, but at this moment, all the soul power in his body was concentrated in his hands and feet, and he had no time to mobilize his soul power to defend his neck.
At this moment, Golden Tiger was also terrified, his eyes filled with panic.
He could feel the blade of light slicing through his neck and taking his life.
However, Shi Lin did not want to kill anyone.
After breaking through the golden tiger's protective golden light, the spatial blade dissipated.
Then, taking advantage of Golden Tiger's momentary panic, Shi Lin leaped up and jumped behind Golden Tiger, slashing directly at Golden Tiger's neck with his hand.
"Um!"
Golden Tiger let out a muffled groan, then fell asleep immediately.
Shi Lin jumped off Golden Tiger and stood on the ground, panting heavily.
With just a slight mishap, Shi Lin was about to be seriously injured by Golden Tiger.
Now that Shi Lin has just become a Space Dao Gu Master, he doesn't have many offensive Gu worms at his disposal. Therefore, Shi Lin's next target is offensive spatial Gu worms.
Of course, if it weren't on the Soul Battle Arena, Shi Lin would have other methods at his disposal.
Moreover, as a Space Dao Gu Master, Shi Lin's strongest attack in the future will definitely be spatial techniques, which will require more Gu worms with spatial attributes.
"Marvelous!"
"That feels so good!"
"This kid is amazing!"
...
As Golden Tiger fell, the stands were filled with cheers and jubilation.
After regaining his strength, Shi Lin smiled faintly, straightened up, and opened his arms to respond to the enthusiasm of the audience in the stands.
Just then, a large door not far behind them slowly opened, and several medical staff in white coats walked in, lifted Golden Tiger up, and took him away.
Shi Lin didn't kill him, so Golden Tiger is not in serious condition and will wake up after a few hours of sleep.
Shi Lin left with the medical staff.
Going out of this door, behind it is the lounge where you just registered. Shi Lin glanced around but didn't see Ma Hongjun and the others.
Judging from the looks of it, these people haven't finished fighting yet.
So Shi Lin found a sofa in a corner and sat down to wait there.
This battle was relatively dangerous. Golden Tiger was a powerful opponent with a domineering defense. If Shi Lin hadn't tried to provoke him, he wouldn't have been able to break through his defenses easily.
"Sigh... Strength is still the foundation. Next, I need to figure out how to cultivate a second-tier Empty Blade Gu, and I also need to get some more Space Dao attack Gu worms." Shi Lin muttered, stroking his chin.
"Besides the Empty Blade Gu, the Healing Gu and the Flame Gu also need to be evolved. We don't know how long this training will last, and injuries are inevitable. We need to ensure logistical support," Shi Lin muttered, stroking his chin.
Shi Lin leaned back on the sofa, took out his notebook, and copied all his combat insights and the upcoming Gu worm cultivation plan into the notebook.
Before Shi Lin could finish writing his notes, he saw Shi An walking over from not far away.
"Young Master." Shi An approached Shi Lin, smiled, bowed, and greeted him.
Shi Lin looked Shi An up and down, and it seemed that he had no external injuries.
"Brother An, are you alright?" Shi Lin nodded and asked with a smile, seeing that Shi An seemed to be in good condition.
"It's been a while since I've fought, I'm a bit rusty, I got punched twice." Shi An chuckled, then pointed to his chest.
Upon hearing Shi An's words, Shi Lin shook his head helplessly. Then, Shi Lin took out a bottle filled with healing pills from his soul tool and handed it to Shi An.
The healing pills weren't as effective as the large sausages, so Shi Lin didn't distribute them when they first entered the Great Soul Arena.
"Thank you, young master." Shi An took the healing pills, poured out two, and put them in his mouth.
Just then, Ma Hongjun and Oscar walked out from behind, supporting each other.
Judging from their appearance, it was clear that they were injured.
"You two look great! How's the battle going?" Shi Lin asked the two men with a smile.
"Hehe, we did not fail in our mission, we won." Ma Hongjun and Oscar exchanged a glance, then said to Shi Lin with a smile.
"These are healing pills, take them and eat them. Xiao Ao probably doesn't have the strength to make sausages anymore," Shi Lin said, handing two bottles of pills to the two people.
"Thank you, Brother Lin!" Ma Hongjun and Oscar smiled at Shi Lin and said.
After taking the healing pills, the two recovered quickly. However, the healing pills were not as effective as Oscar's recovery sausages, so they would have to make some more sausages after Oscar fully recovered.
After resting for a while and recovering, the group left the Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena. After all, it was their first time participating in a soul battle, and their soul power was almost depleted, so they couldn't continue fighting.
After leaving the Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena, Shi Lin led the group directly to a restaurant in Heaven Dou City for a meal.
It's already dark, and the streets are full of roadside stalls and snacks.
Shi Lin and his friends each bought some food, found a place to sit down and started eating and chatting.
"Little Oscar, who did you fight against today?" Shi Lin asked Oscar curiously.
"He's an agility-type soul master. My Bamboo Leaf Gu could easily break through his defenses, and I won more easily than I expected. Of course, he is indeed faster than me. I couldn't dodge and got a little injured." Oscar took a bite of the squid in his hand and then said to Shi Lin with some helplessness.
"Okay, that's good. But you also need to be careful, the opponents you face next may be even stronger, and your battles will become increasingly difficult. Good luck." Shi Lin patted Oscar on the shoulder with satisfaction and said earnestly.
Today's battle should have allowed Oscar to break free from his limitations, and he will become even stronger in the future.
