This section of the matches included both Soul Elder level and Soul Ancestor level duels, but most of the participants were at the Soul Elder level.
Yan's match seemed to be scheduled later, as he had yet to hear the host call his name.
After several matches had passed, he chose a corner to sit down in, closed his eyes slightly, and adjusted his condition to fully prepare for the upcoming match.
The surrounding noise seemed to have nothing to do with him, as he was completely immersed in his own world.
In the earlier matches, only two water-attribute soul masters had appeared.
He had also taken note of their performances. Their strength didn't seem impressive perhaps because they were only at the level of Soul Elders in the thirties.
As for the rules of the Spirit Arena, Yan was already thoroughly familiar with them.
Only those who achieved a certain number of consecutive victories, held high-level Spirit Arena badges, or had high enough soul master levels could battle in the main Spirit Arena.
As a first-time participant, he naturally didn't qualify for that yet. But that didn't prevent him from showing his strength in the sub-Arena.
Just as Yan was resting with his eyes closed and adjusting his state, the voice of the host suddenly came through the loudspeaker in the rest area:
"Ladies and gentlemen, up next is a battle between Soul Ancestor level soul masters. Contestants Yan Luo and Zhao Qiang, please prepare to take the stage."
That impassioned tone made Yan open his eyes instantly.
Finally, it was time to go on stage.
Exiting the rest area, Yan headed straight for the soul master passage leading to the ring.
Though this was the sub-Arena, the stage itself wasn't small it had a diameter of thirty meters, providing ample space for soul masters to fight freely.
The middle-aged host, dressed in a tailcoat, was currently standing at the center of the ring.
"Next up is the eighth one-on-one match at our Ten Arena Spirit Arena. Competing will be two Soul Ancestors. They are Yan Luo, whose Martial Soul is the Flame Man, and Zhao Qiang, whose Beast Martial Soul is the Rhinoceros.
Yan Luo is participating in our Tokes Grand Spirit Arena for the first time, and tonight marks his debut. Meanwhile, Zhao Qiang is on a three-match winning streak.
Will Soul Ancestor Zhao Qiang continue his glorious streak, or will the newcomer Yan luo claim his first victory? Let's wait and see.
Now, please welcome both Soul Ancestors to the stage!"
The previous matches had all featured Soul Elder level soul masters.
Now that two Soul Ancestors were appearing, the crowd's enthusiasm instantly flared up, and the entire audience became restless.
Yan swept his gaze across the lively, noisy stands but didn't spot Yue Guan.
Still, he knew Yue Guan was somewhere in the crowd, silently watching him.
As the host finished speaking, a tall and burly man, standing two and a half meters high, slowly stepped onto the ring.
Judging by his weathered face, he was at least thirty years old.
"Zhao Qiang will win!"
"Zhao Qiang will win!"
Voices of support had already begun rising from the audience.
They seemed to have seen Zhao Qiang's earlier matches and had confidence in him. After all, Zhao Qiang had already secured three consecutive victories.
Zhao Qiang stood silently in the ring, eyes filled with an unmistakable confidence and dominance. His steady aura seemed to suppress the entire stage, as if victory was already in his grasp.
Under everyone's gaze, Yan also slowly walked onto the ring.
Although Yan's physique was also robust, he was no match for Zhao Qiang's enormous frame.
After taking an Ice Grass Silkworm Pearl, the fiery aura on Yan's body had subdued, and his former dominance had faded.
Compared to Zhao Qiang, this made him appear even weaker.
As he appeared, the audience grew more agitated, and the discussions intensified.
"What? Zhao Qiang's opponent is that guy?"
"He looks so young, barely in his teens. Is he really a Soul Ancestor level soul master?"
"For Zhao Qiang to face such an opponent, it seems there's no suspense in the outcome of this match."
When Zhao Qiang saw Yan, he was also visibly shocked.
He had noticed Yan when he entered the soul master rest area, but he thought Yan was just a Soul Elder in the twenties and hadn't paid him any mind.
"You little brat, is your soul power really over level forty? I don't want to be accused of bullying the weak. You'd better surrender now and spare yourself the pain."
Zhao Qiang's gaze and tone were both filled with disdain.
"You dumb ox, who are you looking down on? You've been around for thirty years and still amount to nothing. Otherwise, you wouldn't be facing a Soul Ancestor like me but would've already moved on to higher-level arenas."
Faced with Zhao Qiang's doubts, Yan remained unfazed and immediately shut him down with a single line.
The audience erupted once more.
"That young soul master actually dared to talk back to Zhao Qiang. Maybe he does have some skill?"
"Who knows if he's just all talk!"
"Let's just watch the match. We'll find out soon enough."
Facing the crowd's skepticism, Yan looked calm and composed.
He had plenty of experience dealing with strength-type soul masters. Even a Soul King level Diamond Mammoth soul master had fallen to him before so how could a mere rhinoceros compare?
Zhao Qiang glared angrily at Yan.
Although the fiery aura on Yan's body had lessened, his dark red pupils, defiant gaze, and the faintly visible flame markings on his neck still displayed his wild and unruly nature.
The host suddenly announced loudly:
"Both contestants, please release your Martial Souls and Soul Rings. The match will officially begin in one minute!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, Zhao Qiang took a heavy step forward.
That weighty step landed hard on the ring, and a powerful aura suddenly surged from his body.
With a loud roar from Zhao Qiang, the energy within him erupted instantly, transforming into a gigantic rhinoceros.
The rhinoceros had a burly body, thick limbs, and wild light shining in its eyes. The powerful aura radiating from its body made the entire stage feel solemn and heavy.
Almost at the same time, four soul rings three yellow and one purple emerged from Zhao Qiang's body.
The combination of his Rhinoceros Martial Soul and soul rings made him exude an overbearing presence.
The people in the audience felt this aura and gasped in awe.
Yan was not to be outdone as he released his Martial Soul and Soul Rings as well.
A mass of flames slowly rose behind him, gradually forming into the image of a fiery humanoid figure.
Two yellow and two purple soul rings circled around his body, dazzling and resplendent.
Upon witnessing this scene, the audience was stunned.
This Grand Spirit Arena was close to Sky Water City, where many water-attribute soul masters resided, so many fire-attribute soul masters would come here to challenge them.
They had seen many fire-attribute soul masters demonstrate their Martial Souls before, but this was the first time they had seen such a bizarre fire-attribute Martial Soul.
The fiery figure rising behind Yan looked more like a half-beastman with six horned heads.
