Chapter 152: The Will to Fight

Close-combat Crescent Moon Divine Weapon combinations like Folding Mirror and Severing Soul are naturally very difficult to use against Agility Attack System Battle Soul Masters who possess flight capabilities.

But it is not completely impossible to deal with; although Folding Mirror and Severing Soul are more outstanding in close combat, they are not incapable of long-range attacks.

Moreover, to be precise, in this Spirit Fighting Battle against Zuo Chi, Ning Feiliu used three Crescent Moon Divine Weapons: Fluorescent Flame, Folding Mirror, and Severing Soul.

Under the coordination of the three Crescent Moon Divine Weapons, even Zuo Chi was somewhat unable to parry.

And while Folding Mirror and Severing Soul are disadvantageous for attacking an Agility Attack System Battle Soul Master with flight capabilities, could Zuo Chi really just keep flying in the sky forever, without finding a way to come down to launch an attack on Ning Feiliu and defeat him to win this Spirit Fighting Battle?

It was precisely by seizing the moment of vulnerability when Zuo Chi launched his Third Soul Skill and wanted to attack him, that Ning Feiliu directly used the acceleration effect of Severing Soul, along with the Second Soul Skill of Folding Mirror, Moon Mirror, to copy Zuo Chi's Third Soul Skill, directly crushing Zuo Chi.

Challenging a higher rank?

This kind of trust made her stop questioning everything Ning Feiliu did.

But she suddenly remembered that terrifying move Ning Feiliu used in the Sunset Forest, which directly killed that Soul King named Hu Da.

However, thinking about it carefully, Ling Yue's soul power level had already reached level thirty-nine before this; going out to travel for a while and then coming back to break through to Soul Ancestor is indeed not something very inconceivable.

……

Therefore, although Ning Feiliu's words sounded somewhat arrogant, they were not illegal.

If Ning Feiliu achieves the status of Title Douluo in the future, then this legendary story will be talked about by people for a long time.

But he might not necessarily lose.

"Destiny?! That is truly arrogant enough." Ling Yue sneered and said, "Don't think that just because you defeated those Spirit Masters of the same level, and those few teammates of mine, you can assume you will absolutely win against me... I am telling you, today you are doomed to lose!"

Suddenly, the entire arena began to shout the name "Yafei" loudly again.

But for some reason, Yu Tianheng just felt that Yafei would accept this challenge against a higher rank.

In the original plot, Tang San could manage to challenge a higher rank, so it was not impossible for him to do so as well!

Although Tang San relied on the power of Hidden Weapons, he, Ning Feiliu, also had his own reliance!

He took a step forward, and the fighting intent in his eyes seemed to burst out as if it were tangible.

Among the young talents of the Heaven Dou Empire, the only one who could have such boldness and also have the qualifications to say this would be the "Yafei" before his eyes!

If Ning Feiliu really defeated Ling Yue while being a lower rank...

The Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena does indeed have this rule, allowing lower-level Spirit Masters to challenge Spirit Masters of a higher major rank.

"Fei... Little Fei, do not be impulsive!" Ning Mingrui was so anxious at this moment that he almost shouted Ning Feiliu's real name, but he immediately reacted and changed his words.

Then, from the perspective of calmly seeking victory, Yafei would absolutely not agree to it.

Although that Soul King named Hu Da did not seem to have much strength.

Throughout history, those who can challenge a higher rank are definitely in the minority, especially since Ling Yue himself is also a genius Spirit Master; how could he be easily defeated by a challenge from a lower rank?

If he goes further and achieves great accomplishments like Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu, then his story will become a classic, passed down through history books!

He kicked off with both feet, powerful strength erupted, and the first Soul Ring under his feet lit up!

Seeing the soul power surging on Ling Yue's body, his entire body was covered in white feathers, a pair of arms transformed into feathers to become a pair of huge white wings, and sharp claws like swords extended from his feet.

Isn't Ning Feiliu just a Soul Elder? How could he not only react to the speed but also have strength on par with his?

Although he is only an Agility Attack System Soul Ancestor, one must know that with a difference of one major rank in soul power, the strength and speed should also be quite different.

He really did not expect that this time when Ling Yue returned, he had already broken through to the Soul Ancestor realm.

Standing on the Douhun Platform, Ning Feiliu was staring intently at Ling Yue, who had summoned his martial soul.

At that time, it will not only ignore the Spirit Master level but also ignore the badge level, allowing both sides to engage in battle.

"I broke through to the Soul Ancestor realm not long ago, so now I am not an opponent of the same level as you... However, you should also know that the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena has a special rule, what? Do you dare?"

Like some people who say they want to be emperor in the future, others just treat them as fools.

There is no need for a host; both of their martial souls have already been released, so they will start fighting directly!

"Hah—!" Ling Yue did not fly into mid-air like Yufeng or Zuo Chi to occupy the aerial advantage, but instead flapped his wings and instantly disappeared from where he stood!

Ning Feiliu's pupils shrank slightly; this speed was a grade faster than Zuo Chi's!

But...

And feeling Ning Feiliu's strength, which did not seem weaker than his own, Ling Yue was somewhat puzzled.

But with the appearance of this thought, the belief in his mind that Ning Feiliu would definitely win became even more deeply rooted.

In his view, this challenge against a higher rank was clearly a provocation by Ling Yue to goad Ning Feiliu.

He did not say much else, and his meaning was very clear: let Ling Yue come onto the stage to fight him.

Not to mention the situation of "three-knife Carlisle" or even "four-knife Carlisle" under special circumstances.

This refers to the will of Atreus, and this task... is not considered very difficult, so it shouldn't be possible to directly obtain the power of Pantheon.

However, although this era is a feudal era, the supreme ruler of the empire is the emperor.

The most critical thing is... the four Soul Rings under his feet spiraled out, two yellow and two purple; he had indeed reached the Soul Ancestor realm!

He stared at Ning Feiliu with sharp eyes, full of provocation.

……

Yu Tianheng and the others in the spectator area were all a bit stunned.

After speaking, he even helped to stir up the crowd.

And before Ning Feiliu could react, the other spectators on the stage were all boiling over.

After defeating Zuo Chi, and Zuo Chi being taken down by Carlisle, the captain of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Team, Ning Feiliu turned his head to look at the only remaining Soul Elder-level Battle Soul Master in the Waiting Area—Snow Owl Ling Yue.

I don't know when it started, but Ye Lingling began to blindly believe in Ning Feiliu; it seemed as if he possessed a special power, and there was nothing in this world that he could not do.

To really challenge a higher rank is indeed somewhat of a pipe dream.

Yafei is a person who is calm to the bone.

However, seeing this, Ling Yue also smiled slightly and stood up.

"If Yafei really challenges a higher rank, I don't think there is absolutely no chance of winning."

"It's still very difficult, right... Just thinking about it, winning feels impossible. This is a battle spanning an entire major realm!"

Everyone present felt just how heroic and domineering Yafei was!

"Spirit Possession!"

"Yafei! Go for it!"

"Rest assured, I might be a bit impulsive," Ning Feiliu said, a smile full of intense fighting spirit appearing beneath his mask, "but I absolutely never do things I have no confidence in... Come! I shall be... the Mandate of Heaven!"

Therefore, before even breaking through to Soul Ancestor, Ling Yue was already the strongest Agility Attack System Battle Soul Master among the current students at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

It wasn't that he thought Yafei was an impulsive person; on the contrary, ever since he had known Yafei, every time he observed his Spirit Fighting Battle, and that time he fought Yafei personally, he could feel from Yafei's combat that...

"Think about it carefully, Yafei wouldn't possibly agree, even though he is very strong," Yu Tianxin also said with a smile, "There's no need to follow these guys' agitation and agree to an cross-realm challenge."

So... Yafei, how will you choose?

Yu Tianheng stared intently at Ning Feiliu on the Douhun Platform.

The will of Atreus...

But Ning Feiliu had reacted in time.

After breaking through to Soul Ancestor, his speed was fifty percent faster than before, so much so that even Zuo Chi, who was also an Agility Attack System Battle Soul Master, could not react to his extreme speed.

Instead, it was the number of his soul skills that should have crushed Ling Yue.

Don't know who suddenly shouted, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the audience present.

Only to see Ling Yue's figure appear in front of Ning Feiliu; the folding mirror and broken soul in his hands directly blocked the attack from Ling Yue's pair of wings.

So the Atreus here is probably that mortal Rakkor warrior who fought repeatedly despite defeat.

He did not join the conversation of Yu Tianxin and the other two, but he had a faint feeling in his heart that Yafei... would agree to it.

"The Mandate of Heaven?!" Everyone was shocked by Ning Feiliu's words.

But if you saw a young man who was talented, wealthy enough to rival a nation, and peerlessly powerful say this... you would probably think he is truly heroic!

In the eyes of the audience present, Ning Feiliu was a genius Spirit Master qualified to say such things!

So Ling Yue was only equivalent to leading him by one Hundred-Year Spirit Ring; as for soul skills, he could possess six soul skills just by using two Crescent Moon Divine Weapons.

After saying this, he even directly summoned his martial soul and soul rings.

However, looking at Ning Feiliu, he smiled and said, "It's a pity, I know you must really want to fight me, but..."

"I only believe that victory and defeat are in my own hands," Ning Feiliu said calmly, "Come!"

"Yafei! Yafei!"

Only... the other two people on the spectator stand.

As if he were a battle-hardened warrior... no, it should be said, a Martial God.

But it seems there is no saying in this era that the Mandate of Heaven belongs exclusively to the Emperor.

Even making her...

"I just feel that for some time now, Yafei has been truly too strong. There are no shortage of level 39 Soul Elders who have been defeated by his hands, so what if he faces a Soul Ancestor who is one major realm higher?"

In the martial arts school where Ning Feiliu signed up to learn martial arts in his past life, his seniors once told him that a person who practices martial arts must fight for a breath of spirit!

But everyone knew that cross-realm challenges were very disadvantageous for low-level Spirit Masters.

Ning Feiliu was stunned for a moment; Atreus was the vessel for the War Aspect Pantheon, but he was not Pantheon.

And he had this qualification!

Yu Tianheng felt that Yafei was truly like a Martial God, too calm in battle, yet the feeling he gave people was that this guy would not fail, to the point that he even doubted whether there was a human face under that mask...

"Yafei! Go for it!"

"Yafei! Go for it!"

"To think he could react to my speed..." Ling Yue looked at Ning Feiliu, who had successfully blocked his attack, his eyes showing some surprise.

They began to whisper to each other.

【Ignite the belief in battle to complete a cross-realm challenge; defeat one opponent who exceeds your own current cultivation major realm to obtain the will of Atreus.】

He had re-absorbed two Thousand-Year Spirit Rings, so now his three Thousand-Year Spirit Rings added up to nearly twenty thousand years.

His physical fitness... was not necessarily much worse than a Soul Ancestor's.

"No! I just believe in Yafei! He is undefeated! Even if it is a cross-realm challenge, so what? It's not like crossing several levels, he can't lose!"

"The last person to perform a cross-realm challenge at the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena... I remember it was that Clear Sky Douluo forty years ago, right?"

And he had Poison Douluo behind him, who would dare to touch him because of this?

The eyes beneath Ning Feiliu's mask ignited with flames.

The whole arena cheered the name "Yafei" again, and Ling Yue couldn't help but feel a trace of pressure.

If he really lost to this kid in front of him today, wouldn't he become this kid's background board and stepping stone in the future?

But he took a deep breath and flew directly onto the Douhun Platform.

The whole arena heard Ning Feiliu's voice issuing the challenge, and the entire arena instantly boiled over.

"Is he... going to perform a cross-realm challenge? Although the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena does have such a rule, how many years has it been since anyone has seen a cross-realm challenge?"

Fighting spirit burned in his heart like fire; he had a premonition that after this breath of spirit was cleared today, his future cultivation path would be even smoother!

"Yafei! Yafei!"

Even if this person was "Yafei," who had defeated countless strong enemies and remained undefeated to this day.

Not to mention that Ling Yue had now broken through to the Soul Ancestor realm.

It's just that the will of Atreus, even if it is a mortal's will, can reignite the power of the Aspect Weapon in the future!

It is the undying belief that dares to challenge the heavens!

Ning Feiliu did not underestimate this reward; instead, because of this mission reward, the fighting spirit in his heart became even more vigorous!

"Hahahaha! Very good! Very good!" Ling Yue was also very satisfied; sure enough, this hothead had taken the bait!

Just at this moment, a line of small text appeared before his eyes again.

"Yafei!"

Therefore!

Fight!

Ning Feiliu immediately raised his head to look at Ling Yue and said resolutely, "Come and fight!"

"Moreover, this Heaven Dou Imperial Academy student named Ling Yue is definitely a genius Spirit Master, not one of those ordinary Spirit Masters."

Such fast speed!

"Yes! I believe in Yafei!"

Perhaps it was... that he felt Yafei would still defeat Ling Yue despite the level gap?

When this thought appeared in Yu Tianheng's mind, even Yu Tianheng felt it was somewhat absurd.

After all, what did an emperor count for? The status of the emperors of the two great empires might not even compare to a peak Title Douluo like the Sword Douluo.

Then these words would become a legend surrounding Ning Feiliu!

Although it was somewhat shameless, today his three teammates had all been so miserably defeated by Ning Feiliu, and they had even taken turns going up only to be defeated by Ning Feiliu one by one.

And facing Ling Yue's provocation, was he really going to be timid?

A suppression of one major rank, plus an additional powerful high-level thousand-year soul skill, would cause Ling Yue to form a crushing momentum in terms of physical fitness, soul power, and soul skills when facing Ning Feiliu.

It was just that Ning Feiliu was in a bit of a dilemma.

At Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, Ling Yue was indeed the strongest Agility Attack System Battle Soul Master today; after all, his soul power cultivation was there, and his martial soul quality and soul ring configuration, plus his Practical Experience, were also very rich.

He would not act rashly, would not make mistakes; everything was done for the sake of victory in battle.

Because challenging across levels is extremely difficult; Yafei was not a battle maniac, he was a Martial God who pursued victory and pursued being undefeated.

But...

I believe his strength will improve by another level.

Suddenly, Ning Feiliu moved at this moment.

If he did not regain his standing, then the face of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Team would be completely lost today.

Ling Yue was clearly using a provocation tactic, wanting Ning Feiliu to take the initiative to challenge him, so that he could use his strength as a Soul Ancestor to teach Ning Feiliu, who was still a Soul Elder, a lesson!

"What kind of joke are these guys making?" Yufeng sneered and said, "Who do they think Yafei is facing? That is our Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's strongest Agility Attack System Battle Soul Master. If it were at the same level, Yafei might have some chance of winning, but Senior Ling has already broken through to Soul Ancestor!"

And in order to pursue victory, one should not challenge an opponent one cannot beat.

Plus... he still had the Summoning of the God of Casting and the Summoning of the God of Ice and Snow!

Even though he had now gone through three battles, his internal soul power was currently only about half.

His calmness was almost engraved into his Spirit Soul; every time he raised his hand to attack, every time he dodged, it was filled with extreme calmness.

"Yafei! Yafei!"

It seemed he wanted to make Ning Feiliu agree to this cross-level challenge.

Because the mission might fail, was he going to be timid now?

Yu Tianheng did not speak at this moment, but instead watched Ning Feiliu, who remained silent on the Douhun Platform.

Ye Lingling also bit her lip; she actually wanted to speak up to stop Ning Feiliu as well.

He parried forward with the folding mirror and Broken Soul in his hands!

But Ning Feiliu could kill Hu Da, and besides... he was Ning Feiliu after all.

"Haha, I actually want to see Yafei agree to the cross-level challenge against Senior Ling Yue; then I'll be able to see the look of this guy Yafei being miserably defeated." Oslo said with the mentality of watching the fun.

"Broken Soul! First soul skill! Arc Light Facing Shadow!"

Wishing everyone a happy Dragon Boat Festival here, brothers, be happy.
