Soul Land: Raiden Shogun Is My Martial Soul

Chapter 252: Kong, Level 85 Soul Douluo—Please Advise!

"I, Chen Xin, swear upon my martial soul that the Emperor Battle Team's captain, Yu Tiankong, is truly only fourteen years and five months old!"

After releasing Kong's wrist, Chen Xin solemnly made his declaration.

Upon hearing this, the audience was completely stunned!

A martial soul oath—what a serious pledge!

This meant that Sword Douluo, Chen Xin, was absolutely not lying.

If that was the case, then the real age of the Emperor Battle Team's captain was indeed only a little over fourteen.

"I, Yue Guan, swear upon my martial soul and the honor of the Spirit Hall that the Emperor Battle Team's captain, Yu Tiankong, is truly only fourteen years and five months old."

Yue Guan snapped back to his senses upon hearing Chen Xin's words. How could he have forgotten? This was the perfect opportunity to gain favor!

If he didn't take this chance to express goodwill now, when would he?

Kong never expected this turn of events. In the past, he was the one farming favorability with NPCs in games. But today, he had become the NPC, and others were trying to farm favorability with him!

"Heavens, not even fifteen years old, and he's already reached the level of a Soul Douluo? If he keeps this up for another ten years, won't he ascend to the heavens?!"

"Forget ten years—old man here believes this kid might even break the legendary barrier. He won't stop at level 99!"

"Hmph, do you even need to say that? A god… Could the legendary god appear in our generation? If we get to witness the birth of a deity, we could die without regrets!"

A Soul Douluo at under fifteen years old—no amount of hype would be excessive. Something like this? They had never even dreamed of it before, let alone witnessed it.

On the stage, the members of the Purple Star Team were completely numb.

Not only was Kong not an old monster in disguise, but he was actually only fourteen years old.

Even if he had been born with full innate soul power, there were only eight years from age six to fourteen.

Yet in just eight short years, he had managed to gain nearly ten levels per year?

Everyone knew that the later stages of cultivation became increasingly difficult. Some people could go an entire year or two without breaking through a single level, which was completely normal.

But this guy—he was completely abnormal!

After Chen Xin and Yue Guan confirmed Kong's age, they silently glanced at the Purple Star Team's captain and leader before stepping down from the stage.

"I hereby declare that the Emperor Battle Team's captain, Yu Tiankong, fully meets the age requirements for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. The challenge is invalid. The match will continue!"

The referee announced.

At the beginning, even he had suspected that Kong was some ancient monster in disguise. Otherwise, how could he have spent his entire life training and only be at Soul Douluo?

One could disguise appearances, but not soul rings…

Wait a minute—wasn't Kong's soul ring situation even more problematic?

"I never release my martial soul a second time in combat."

Kong spoke calmly, as if lost in thought.

"???"

The Purple Star Team members froze. He wouldn't release his martial soul a second time? Could this mean… they had a chance?

Chance? Their ass!

Did they think his teammates were just decorations?

Not to mention, even without using his martial soul, a Soul Douluo wasn't someone Soul Ancestors could even dream of challenging!

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Kong slightly raised his right hand. In the next moment, it transformed into a dark red "glove."

"Yu Tiankong, Level 85 Soul Douluo—please advise!"

"???"

Please advise, my ass!

A level 85 Soul Douluo, asking a bunch of Soul Ancestors for guidance?

The contestants from the Heaven Dou side felt a chill run down their spines, cold sweat pouring from their backs as they trembled uncontrollably.

They had personally witnessed how terrifying this "glove" was. When fighting against the Fallen Ones, this glove had played a crucial role.

"Twin Martial Souls?"

Kong had materialized the glove directly, without taking it from a storage soul tool. That meant it was either a soul bone or a martial soul.

Since it radiated such terrifying soul power fluctuations, everyone naturally assumed it was a martial soul.

"Hahaha! I love seeing these people who have never seen the world before! That's not a martial soul—it's a soul bone!"

"An external soul bone that can evolve into armor? To be honest, I didn't believe it at first. Not until I saw Kong's external soul bone evolve and then massacre the battlefield!"

"Hey, do you think there's a possibility that the final form of a soul bone is actually armor?"

At first, no one had considered this possibility. After all, soul bones had always been thought of as condensed energy constructs. How could they possibly evolve into full-body armor?

But when some people saw Kong's Shura Demon Claw, their expressions changed drastically—shock, disbelief, and utter confusion filled their faces.

"Divine… a Divine Armament!"

"This is definitely a Divine Armament!"

Among the stunned audience, Qian Daoliu was particularly shaken. He knew that soul bones could evolve into "Divine Armament," a full set of armor-like equipment. After all, the Angel God's former Divine Armament was still enshrined in the Worship Hall.

Each piece of that armament had come from the same soul beast and had a uniform age of 99,999 years!

Once fully fused, the wearer could ascend as the new Angel God, and the soul bones would evolve into true 100,000-year artifacts.

But Qian Daoliu had never imagined that Kong's soul bone had already evolved to such an extent—this was simply terrifying!

The final form of a soul bone was indeed armament.

In other words, Divine Armament.

"This boy sure is lucky… but this Divine Armament's aura… why does it feel like Bibi Dong's…?"

"No… there's a huge difference. He isn't affected by its murderous intent at all. It's a pure killing intent."

While Qian Daoliu analyzed the situation, Bibi Dong was completely dumbfounded.

She—Bibi Dong—was feeling fear.

No, not towards Kong, but towards that claw.

What was that thing?

Why would someone at her level feel fear—even dread—just from seeing it?

"Wait, n-no…! Stop!!"

"We surrender! We surrender!!"

The captain of the Purple Star Team, though stubborn, wasn't an idiot.

If he was, he wouldn't have publicly pledged his allegiance to Crown Prince Davis while also only acknowledging Davis as his superior.

Could they really fight against someone like Kong?

They hadn't even exchanged blows yet, and just from the pressure alone, their bodies were already trembling uncontrollably.

"Purple Star Academy has surrendered! Heaven Dou Imperial Academy wins!"

With the referee's announcement, this battleless match finally came to an end.

The referee couldn't help but sympathize with the Purple Star Team.

They were the last remaining team from Star Luo.

And yet… they had run into the strongest, most terrifying opponent imaginable.

As a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse, he had never had any issues serving as a referee.

After all, in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, the strongest competitors were typically just Soul Kings.

But now?

For the first time, he realized that he wouldn't even last one move against one of the contestants.

That thought alone made him feel miserable.

How was he even qualified to be a referee when he couldn't beat the competitors?

"Ugh, this is so boring… We came out here just to show our faces, and that's literally all we did."

Yu Feng grumbled in disappointment.

What could he do?

Was he supposed to force the opponents not to surrender?

Well, that's what happens when your captain is a monster…

"Enough, look at Oscar and Oslo… Do you see those jealous eyes?"
