Ever since his cultivation base broke through to the rank of Title Douluo, his pace of improvement greatly decreased. He had been working hard on his cultivation, but his development was still very, very slow. He understood that he needed more experience to continue improving himself. Actual combat was undoubtedly the best way.

In the first match, he had been paired up against a Soul Douluo in the first match, and this opponent seemed to be more than he let on. His lust for battle was rising within him. He had hoped that his opponent was powerful, as the more formidable his opponent was, the more his fighting spirit could be aroused. This was also beneficial for his cultivation.

“Three, two, one! The battle begins!”

With the electronic voice’s announcement, the protective barrier around them instantly rose. The entire competition stage was covered in a bright light.

Chi Shanming took a sudden stride forward. In his combat experience, there was nothing more important than attacking. The best defense was a good offense, and it was also the key to victory.

He did not unleash any soul skill or even his martial soul. He charged toward his opponent like a cannonball, but if one looked clearly, one could see that his skin’s surface was already a faint red. His entire person was releasing a scorching aura.

‘He’s fast!’

This was the first impression the audience got when they saw him charge. Chi Shanming’s forward charge was like a soul cannonball which had just left the barrel. The instant it flew out of the barrel, it gained heat and speed. The closer he got to his opponent Yuan Hui, the redder his skin got. His imposing manner intensified as well.

‘That’s scary! Don’t tell me this battle’s going to end with a single move?’

Yuan Hui appeared to be dazed no matter how one looked at him, not moving an inch. Did he have a death wish? The referee might not be able to intercept in time.

The audience’s eyes bulged as they watched the competition stage. They noticed that Yuanen Yehui was not moving from her spot. It was if she was not reacting to the situation.

Similarly, Chi Shanming was also astonished. He held back slightly from his all-out charge. Based on his experience, there was only one possibility regarding an opponent such as this. His opponent must have had great agility, so much so that he was confident enough to evade his attack. However, he snorted to himself as well. ‘You think that I don’t have such agility?’

They were close now. The distance between the two opponents was reducing by the second. Chi Shanming had already calculated the point in time at which his opponent would evade his attack.

Ten meters more. Five meters. Three meters…

‘Why’s he not dodging yet? Don’t tell me he still thinks that he can dodge me at this distance? He’s clearly underestimating me.’

A murderous intent dashed across the depths of Chi Shanming’s eyes. There was a sudden flash of red light behind him. Like a thruster behind a mecha, dazzling flames shot out of his back. This increased his speed instantly to three times his original speed. He seemed to cross the three meters in an instant.

“Boom!”

Chi Shanming was not alone in thinking that his opponent would dodge him, as the spectators thought so as well. However, even with Chi Shanming’s sudden acceleration, Yuan Hui clearly made no attempt to dodge.

The instant the two of them collided, a golden scarlet flame erupted and rose into the air as if soul ammunition had just detonated. The scene was so ferociously violent that the audience felt their adrenaline surge.

The flames rose high. It was truly a one-hit KO.

Some of the audience members were excited, while some expressed their regrets. They had wished to see a competition between two strong offensive forces rather than an instant kill such as this. There was no denying that this was a quick end, but the entire process was a little too short for their liking.

Standing there with his arms crossed, a faint smile surfaced on Tang Wulin’s face. There was no sign of worry in his eyes.

‘So what if he’s a Title Douluo? It’s not that easy to beat Yuanen.’

The light of the flames danced across the coliseum. The members of the audience finally saw the situation on the competition stage. Everyone’s eyes were fixed upon the odd scene that appeared before them.

Yuan Hui was still standing right where he stood. The only difference was that he had one arm raised, but with that one arm, he had stopped Chi Shanming’s fist.

Chi Shanming was more than two meters tall and was extremely muscular. Yuanen Yehui’s appearance at the moment was that of a mere scrawny youth who was barely a hundred and seventy centimeters in height, ordinary as could be.

Even a conservative guess would put Chi Shanming’s weight at two times greater than Yuan Hui’s. This duo stood there on the competition stage.

Chi Shanming’s eyes were filled with shock. He did not expect this.

Obviously, being front and center of it all, he saw exactly what had happened. The instant his fist hit his opponent, Yuanen Yehui had raised her right arm and intercepted his punch.

Chi Shanming had assumed that his flames and incredible strength would devour his opponent so fast that the referee would not make it in time to stop him. However, when they actually collided, things did not progress as planned.

Chi Shanming only felt his fist crashing onto a wall. It was a wall that was completely uncrushable, and it completely blocked all the fire elements and his own strength. Nothing managed to get through, and his body was frozen in place.

‘How’s this possible? How can he stand there like a mountain? I’m a Title Douluo! My strength should be greater than his! How did this happen?’

Chi Shanming had much experience in combat. However, this was his first time encountering such a situation. It was inconceivable to him that his opponent would be this powerful.

The pause was short-lived. Even when Chi Shanming was overcome with shock, he reacted. He took a step forward with his left foot and closed in on Yuanen Yehui with his body. At the same time, a gold-red flame rose alongside his nine soul rings.

Behind him, a humanoid flame which was of similar build as him rose.

The humanoid flame was gold-red in color. Right after it appeared, it slammed itself onto Chi Shanming and covered him in a gold-red hue. Scorching flames rolled toward Yuanen Yehui in a manner that seemed to cover the heavens and the earth.

As a controller of the fire element and a Title Douluo’s cultivation base, the temperature of his flames was extremely terrifying. All Chi Shanming’s soul skills were adaptations of scorching flames. His opponent’s unexpected defenses did not affect his intention to emerge victorious.

At this very moment, Yuanen Yehui made a move as well. Her movements were not grand. She did not move backward nor did she dodge. Instead, she took a step forward and pushed with her right arm which intercepted her opponent’s punch.

Chi Shanming only felt the air flow in front of him suddenly change, and the flames he released swirled like a vortex, spreading outward in a spiral motion. It was as if there was a peculiar repelling force on his opponent. When this repelling force was suddenly released, his flames could not gather and hit his opponent. At the same time, the force which came from his opponent’s arm was extremely shocking. It felt as if it was unstoppable.

Chi Shanming suddenly pulled his right fist back. At the same time, the fire spirit which had merged into his body from behind moments ago emerged from his front. It charged toward Yuanen Yehuin as though to embrace her.

The fire spirit was Chi Shanming’s spirit soul. At the same time, it was also one of the most important components of his combat strength. The toughest qualities of a controller of the elements were their unpredictable changes during battle. They would not be limited by their soul skills like ordinary soul masters.

No fault could be found with Chi Shanming’s reactions. However, he was facing the unbelievably powerful Yuanen Yehui, one of the Shrek Seven Monsters.

All of a sudden, Chi Shanming saw Yuanen Yehui’s through the fire. The scorching and dazzling flames could not mask the radiance of her gaze.

Her eyes had the color of yellow crystals. Radiance swirled within them, which gave off a peculiar feeling. They seemed solid, thick, and heavy.

A dense yellowish light burst forth from her body at this moment. When his flames collided with this yellow radiance, they were stopped in their tracks
