Chapter 71: The First Battle of Spirit Fighting

The next day, Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena.

The bustling oval-shaped building seemed capable of holding hundreds of thousands of people, and its height reached one hundred and fifty meters; against an ancient backdrop, it truly seemed like a creation of the gods.

But this was not a creation of the gods; it was a creation of Spirit Masters.

In the world of Douluo Continent, which possesses the supernatural power of soul power, the immense strength of Spirit Masters can be used to easily complete tasks difficult for ordinary people, such as transporting materials, carving stone, and construction.

Thus, this majestic Great Spirit Arena came to be.

The Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena was extremely lively; after all, this was the Great Spirit Arena of the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.

It could be said that there were numerous Spirit Masters and the strong were as numerous as clouds.

In an ordinary Great Spirit Arena, such as the Soto City Great Spirit Arena in the original story, Soul King-level Spirit Fighting battles were very rare.

But in the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena, Soul King-level Spirit Fighting battles still occurred every day.

Even Soul Emperor-level Spirit Fighting battles were not impossible to see.

However, in order to prevent acquaintances from recognizing his true face, Ning Feiliu specially customized an iron mask, with the goal of not letting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples and Elders who might be watching in the Great Spirit Arena recognize him during the subsequent Spirit Fighting battles.

Registration was, of course, very simple; one only needed to fill out a form including name, age, place of birth, and martial soul to receive the initial Iron Spirit Badge. Of course, registration also required each person to pay ten gold coins as a registration fee.

Those were the names of those who had died in battle within the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena.

In the Great Spirit Arena, Spirit Fighting is divided into three categories: one is a match, which is a friendly exchange where ruthless killing is prohibited.

The final category is a Gambling Fight, where the Great Spirit Arena acts as the referee, and both sides of the bet send out an equal number of Spirit Masters to compete; the final winner will receive everything in the wager.

However, Ning Feiliu was not some goody-two-shoes who had never killed anyone; his hands had previously been stained with two human lives.

Otherwise, taking action in Heaven Dou City outside of the Great Spirit Arena would attract the Law Enforcement Officers of Heaven Dou City.

A Gambling Fight is primarily a Life-and-Death Fight; many nobles and clans often use this method when they have major conflicts with each other.

Therefore, most of these deceased were from the latter two categories, though accidental manslaughter had occurred in the first category as well.

When pushed to the limit, it is easy to lose control of one's power in a fit of anger and kill someone.

He first entered the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena, preparing to register for a Spirit Fighting battle.

After all, when Spirit Masters fight, it all happens in the blink of an eye, and with soul power involved, fists, feet, and martial souls are even more blind.

There was no intention of making him take off his mask at all; Ning Feiliu thought for a moment, then wrote his name on the form as...

Even with Ning Feiliu wearing a mask, the staff of the Great Spirit Arena were not surprised.

During a Spirit Fighting battle, he could hide the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda within his body and only summon the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon to fight.

As Ning Feiliu walked into the Great Spirit Arena, the first things that caught his eyes were ten huge stone tablets, on which were carved densely packed names.

At the same time, for the martial soul, he wrote down... Crescent Moon Divine Weapon.

Only the Great Spirit Arena could allow Ning Feiliu to strike freely and defeat strong enemies.

The other category is a Life-and-Death Fight, used to resolve irreconcilable disputes.

And he had come to the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena this time, naturally, to complete the mission triggered by Jax.

Yafei.

So this would not let people see through him.

Ning Feiliu finished filling out the form and handed it to the young lady in front of him.

After the young lady took the form, she only glanced at it and did not appear very surprised.

It was just that... regarding the soul power test...

"A Soul Elder?!" The young lady helping to test Ning Feiliu's soul power immediately opened her mouth wide, looking at the results of Ning Feiliu's soul power test in disbelief.

And one must know, even with Ning Feiliu wearing a mask, he looked very young.

Not to mention that on his registration form, the age written was twelve years old this year!

A twelve-year-old Soul Elder, the youngest Soul Elder in all the records of Douluo Continent!

"Please wait a moment, I will help you arrange the order for the Spirit Fighting battle."

This made the young lady's eyes burn with excitement, but she remained quite professional; after directly helping Ning Feiliu complete his Spirit Fighting registration, she helped him with the Spirit Fighting scheduling.

"Okay." Ning Feiliu nodded and said.

After a while, it was finally Ning Feiliu's turn for his Spirit Fighting battle.

Ning Feiliu immediately followed the instructions and walked into the scheduled Great Spirit Arena.

But he still had to wait for a while...

However, while he was waiting, watching the battles on the Douhun Platform was quite a unique experience.

The Spirit Masters on the Douhun Platform were all Soul Elder-level Spirit Masters, which was the level for this area of the Douhun Platform.

Almost all Soul Elder-level Spirit Fighting battles would be arranged to take place in this area.

Of course, if it were a Life-and-Death Fight, it would be arranged separately on a more central Douhun Platform.

After all, the tickets for watching such life-and-death struggles were at a different price.

Among the Soul Elder-level Spirit Masters, some were clearly ordinary Spirit Masters with mediocre talent who only achieved the Soul Elder rank in their twenties or thirties, while others were clearly the pride of the Soul Academies out to gain experience.

After all, Spirit Fighting battle training was not a teaching method uniquely created by Shrek Academy.

Like the members of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's first team, they also came out to participate in Spirit Fighting battle training in the original story.

It just wasn't a mandatory requirement like it was at Shrek Academy.

Watching the brilliant Spirit Fighting battles above, Ning Feiliu was full of interest.

This collision between martial soul and martial soul, between soul skill and soul skill, was much better to watch than the MMA fighting matches of his past life.

The collision of gorgeous soul skills was just like the fantasy blockbusters of his past life.

Even better than that, after all, this was all real.

However, Ning Feiliu only watched for a while, because soon...

I saw a middle-aged man in a tailcoat standing in the center of the Douhun Platform; he cleared his throat and said loudly: "Next, we will conduct the first match of the one-on-one Spirit Fighting in our thirty-eighth Soul Fighting Arena today. Appearing will be two Soul Elders; they are, respectively, possessing the Tool Spirit... Crescent Moon Divine Weapon, hmm, a martial soul I've heard of for the first time, Yafei, who possesses the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon martial soul!"

"He will face off against the one who recently won a Spirit Fighting Battle, the possessor of the Beast Spirit Fierce Tiger... Liu—Ba...!"

The audience in the stands began to cheer appropriately, and even Ning Feiliu, who was making his first appearance, had quite a few people shouting his name.

"Boom—!"

Just then, on the opposite side of the Douhun Platform, a tall and sturdy figure—a dark-skinned adult man whose granite-like muscles truly resembled a fierce tiger—leaped directly onto the Douhun Platform, radiating an unrivaled aura!

Clearly, he was the opponent for Ning Feiliu's first Spirit Fighting Battle, Liu Ba!

Wearing a mask, Ning Feiliu let out a soft laugh, and he also took a step from where he stood; although it was not as domineering as Liu Ba's.

He still landed on the Douhun Platform with an air of elegance and lightness.

"Please—!"
