Everyone couldn't help but chuckle when they heard Meng Yiran propose a contest of overall strength.
At this moment, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but kindly remind her, "Beautiful lady, have you thought this through? You really want to compete with Brother Sen in overall strength? That would be so brutal you'd question your existence!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Yiran felt she had been looked down upon again! So, she shouted defiantly, "I want to compete with him in overall strength! A powerful Soul Master not only needs abundant Soul Power, but also various unpredictable and deadly methods! The ability to win with a single blow!"
"Alright, since that's the case, Rosen, you and her compete again!" Zhao Wuji was naturally willing for the two to compete, because he knew that Rosen would definitely win; there was simply no comparison between them!
Rosen nodded helplessly, then asked, "Miss Meng, how would you like to compete?"
Meng Yiran looked at Rosen, then smiled and said, "I have a unique throwing knife technique! It can pierce the enemy's vitals in an instant! Killing is also done silently! I won't bully you, as long as you can dodge my throwing knives within ten meters, you win!"
Rosen smiled upon hearing this, "That's too easy, how about within three meters, otherwise I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to see my shadow."
"Hmph! Arrogant fool! You said it yourself! Don't regret it when you die under my throwing knives!" Meng Yiran said coldly.
"I've never regretted anything in my life, please make your move!"
Rosen put his hands behind his back, seemingly not taking Meng Yiran seriously at all, which made him even more annoyed!
"Take this!"
Meng Yiran instantly threw three throwing knives, attacking from above, middle, and below. In her mind, no matter how Rosen tried to defend, he couldn't possibly dodge them!
However, these three throwing knives only pierced Rosen's phantom image; the real Rosen had already run behind Meng Yiran!
"Miss Meng, would you like to continue the match?" Rosen's voice came from behind Meng Yiran.
"What! When did you get behind me?!"
Meng Yiran was shocked and quickly unleashed thirty-six throwing knives in succession, a 360-degree all-around attack!
But even so, Rosen easily dodged them, never moving more than two meters away from Meng Yiran.
At this moment, Grandpa Long couldn't help but sigh. He could see that his granddaughter was no match for Rosen at all; the difference in their strength was too great! It wasn't surprising that Meng Yiran lost to Rosen before!
"Yiran, come back. You are no match for him." Grandpa Long stopped the match at this moment.
"Grandpa! I'm not convinced! Even if this guy dodged my throwing knives, he can't possibly be my opponent in close combat!"
Meng Yiran was still unconvinced. Her martial soul, the Serpent Staff, was a weapon martial soul for close-range attacks. The reason she lost to Rosen before was because Rosen's long-range attacks suppressed her. Now, Rosen was merely agile; what kind of hero could only dodge?
Hearing Meng Yiran's words, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Oh my god! This is hilarious! You actually want to fight Sen-ge in close combat! I really admire your courage! Don't you realize that Sen-ge's strength lies in close combat?"
"Him? How is that possible! His martial soul is just a tree, while mine is a snake staff! He has absolutely no advantage over me!"
Meng Yiran still refused to believe it and immediately released her snake staff martial soul, smashing it directly at Luo Sen!
However, Luo Sen only dodged left and right, not engaging Meng Yiran in combat. He was pondering how much he was still inferior to Long Gong!
Luo Sen was only level 30, and his soul power was far inferior to Long Gong's. Even relying on his physical strength, he was basically no match for Long Gong.
Although Rosen could easily protect himself in front of the Dragon Lord, he certainly couldn't inflict any real harm on him, so it was best to avoid escalating the situation.
Meng Yiran was now fighting with a vengeance, because she hadn't touched Rosen once! How could his movements be so agile and nimble?
"Rosen! Are you even a man?! If you're so capable, don't waste your breath! Fight me head-on!" Meng Yiran could only provoke Rosen into attacking.
Rosen, having no other choice and not wanting to continue the fight, instantly raised his leg and delivered a side kick!
"Storm Kick!"
Whoosh—
a wind blade instantly sliced past Meng Yiran's head, sending chills down everyone's spines!
At the same time, the snake hairpin in Meng Yiran's hair was severed!
And behind her, a large tree that required two people to encircle suddenly cracked!
Then everyone saw a slanted cross-section appear in the center of the thick trunk, and the upper part of the tree slowly collapsed, leaving only half of the trunk standing!
The entire arena fell silent, utterly still. Even Dragon Lord, a Soul Douluo-level expert, was stunned!
After a long while, Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang couldn't help but whisper, "What kind of soul skill was that just now?"
"It wasn't a soul skill. This kid didn't release any soul power at all. He completely relied on his physical strength to create an air-cutting effect with his high-speed kick!"
Dragon Lord himself was somewhat incredulous when he said this, because in all his years of wandering the martial world, he had never seen a soul master possess such powerful physical strength!
"Could he be a disciple of the Elephant Armor Sect? It seems that no other sect in the world besides the Elephant Armor Sect would train physical strength to this level, right?" Snake Granny asked softly.
"It can't be the Elephant Armor Sect. Although the Elephant Armor Sect also trains physical strength, they focus on defense and can't possibly achieve such powerful offensive force! This is an attack technique I've never seen before!"
Dragon Lord felt that Rosen was simply too outstanding! Not only had he defeated his granddaughter in terms of soul power before, but now he could completely overwhelm her in close combat!
More importantly, Rosen was far too young! He's probably at least three years younger than Meng Yiran! If Rosen were to join their sect, it would surely bring glory to the entire sect!
Therefore, Dragon Duke immediately said, "Young man, you're very good! You won this time. Would you be willing to join our Holy Dragon Sect?"
Rosen smiled upon hearing this, "Thank you for your kindness, senior, but I only want to stay at Shrek Academy and focus on my cultivation."
Rosen didn't want to join the Holy Dragon Sect because he didn't want to be constrained, and he didn't want to go to a place he wasn't familiar with. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for him to join the Spirit Hall directly?
Rosen needed a quiet environment for cultivation, so there was no need for him to join any other sect.
Hearing Rosen's resolute words, Dragon Duke could only helplessly give up trying to win him over.
"Yiran, let's go. A bet is a bet, and this spirit beast belongs to someone else." Dragon Duke was quite magnanimous, and this was also to leave a good impression on Rosen, in case he needed him someday! There was no need to tear off the mask and make things too awkward!
